D. S. Medal Given to Only
One Woman in Awards Made
to United States Soldiers

Only 500 Distinguished Service med
ais were awarded to American soldiers
and of these just one was presented
to a woman.
Miss Mary Vail Address, an Amer
ican Red Cross canteen worker in
France, was the woman chosen for the
distinguished honor.
The medal was presented to Miss
Address by General Pershing in the
name of the president of the United
States.
Miss Address, a New York woman,
was one of the first seven American
girls to go overseas. She went to the
TOul sector as the American troops
entered 1t, and on her own initiative
set up a canteen tent In the station
yard and gave small comforts to the
soldiers arriving or on leave. Within
a month she assisted 5000 doughboys
a day, and it is estimated that during
her entire service her canteen well
coined more than 100000 soldiers.
After the tents success she opened
q rest house for officers and men, and
finally was put in charge of an entire
hotel. Under her direction were in
stalled shower baths where thousands
Of men enjoyed their first chance for
a bath after weeks in the trenches.
Miss Address is planning to continue
her social and public service in some
other form.

Substitute for Platinum
Is Invented by Illinois
Professor of Chemistry

Illium is the name of the new metal
alloy, substitute for platinum, that
has been discovered by Prof. S. w.
Parr of the department of chemistry
at the University of Illinois.
According to Professor Parr the i'm
portance of this new metal lies in the
fact that it can be substituted for plati-
mum or gold in acid tests. It's price is
another factor Illium costs approx
mately 25 cents an ounce.
Other alloys have been found too
brittle. They can be cast, but not
machined like illium. Every rod of
illium which is made has button cut
from the end, which is given 24-hour
acid test. These buttons are weighed
before and after the test and as yet
the difference in weight has not been
appreciable.
The first mixture Of this alloy was
made in April, 1917.

Killing by Poisoning and Flowing Are
Most Effective Ways of Guard
ing 1920 Crop.

Each female grasshopper lays from
80 to 160 eggs, in clusters of 40 to 80
in small holes about 11a inches below
the surface OF the ground. Mr. Stew
art Lockwood, entomologist for the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
says that if these eggs are allowed to
hatch next years crops are in serious
danger. He states that killing by poi
sOning and plOwing are the two most
effective ways of safeguarding the 1920
crop. This year it was found that
very few if any grasshoppers hatched
out on plowed land. Sixty per cent of
the hoppers came from roadsides,
fence rows, fax stubble land, and 40
per cent from land that was stubbled
into crop the fall of 1918.

Lanes.

The fundamental requirement Of an
earth road is always good drainage.
This involves, first, the removal of the
water which reaches the surface of the
road from precipitation or otherwise:
and second, in certain places the re-
moval of any ground water which
reaches the road from underground
seepage. Surface drainage is accom-
plished by securing a reasonable firm
crowned roadway and providing
bitches of sufficient size and with am
pie grade and frequent outlets. Sub
drainage to remove the water from
beneath the road surface or to pre-
vent its passage into the roadbed is
usually accomplished most effectively
by so-called blind drains or by means
Of properly located tile drains.
Roads and drives Immediately
around the farmyards and barns
which are used very frequently are
usually of sufficient Importance to
warrant some surface Improvement.
inexpensive surfacing Materials.
Many of the materials ordinarily en-
ployed in road construction will be
found too expensive for use in improv-
ing the farm roads. One or more of
the following will, however, usually be
found available and within the means
Of the farmer for surfacing his roads
and paths: Gravel, mixtures Of sand
and clay, cinders, brickbats from old
buildings, brickyard waste, and quarry
waste. The material selected should
be hard enough to withstand crushing
under heavy loads and possess suffi-
cient binding power to compact well
and maintain firm, hard surface.
Drainage and a good foundation are
the first considerations in improving n
road with a hard surface The est
possible foundation is a good earth
road with low crown. Earth shoul-
ders may be graded upon each side to
prevent the surfacing material from
spreading, as in the construction of an
ordinary macadam road The material
used for surfacing should be placed in
uniform layer or layers on this
foundation and should be given a suf-
hclent crown to shed the rain waters
to the sides. If a road roller can be
secured the material may be quickly
consolidated.
Making Good Footpaths.
For surfacing fOotpaths, gravel, mix
lures of sand and clay, and cinders
will, in general, give good satisfaction.
Too often the mistake is made of
building the path so low that it be-
comes drainage channel Concrete
makes a most excellent walk, and is
now widely used for this purpose. Full
details as to mixing and placing con-
crete for walks and other uses on the
farm are given in Farmers Bulletin

Uncle Sam Is Economical;
Orders Stamps imprinted
With Inscription "2 Cents"

Uncle Sam is again practicing
economy in connection with his postal
stationery, and his thrift means more
new varieties for collectors," writes
Kent B. Stiles in Boys Life.
when the wartime rate of 3 cents
for an ordinary letter was reduced to
2 cents on July 1, there were in post
offices throughout the country excess
stocks of the Scent envelopes. The
postmaster general has sent notice to
all postal sub-agencies authorizing the
imprinting Of the inscription 2 cents
in red on each envelope just below the
circular die. Inasmuch as this i'm
reau of engraving and printing at
Washington, but at sub-agencies inde-
pendently, there is prospect of many
varieties of type becoming available
to collectors, and it is not unlikely
that such errors as inverts, broken and
missing and misplaced letters, etc., will
appear.
1.-THE cost of an ordinary post card
was lowered to the normal l cent,
and the sub-agencies have been author
lied to surcharge 1 c. across the cir
cular die on each card, although this
situation is of less interest, as philate-
lists do not collect postal cards.
"Of course, the imprinted envelopes
and overprinted cards sell to the pub
lie at the new prices, 2 and cents, re-
Spectively."

Good-road building, like charity,
should begin at home. This is another
way of stating that private roads on
terests they serve as the public roads
over which the farmers product is
hauled to market.
In proportion to its use a poor pri-
vate road to farm is as great hand
leap to efficient marketing as we'll as
other farm operations, as a poor pub
lie highway. The fundamental princi-
pie involved in the construction of the
two kinds of roads is the same, ac-
cOrding to the bureau of public roads
of the United States department of ag-
riculture. But, as the farm road is
called on to bear far less traffic, the
ordinary methods of construction and
maintenance are so modified and the
use of materials so adapted as to meet
the special requirements and reduce
the cost. To build the farm roads in
the same manner and design as pub
lie thoroughfares which carry much
greater traffic, in general, would be a
useless waste of money.
The first consideration is the loca-
ton of the roads and paths about the
farm. The roads and paths are part
of the permanent farm plant Conse-
quently they should be so located as
to serve best the purpose for which
they are intended, should fit in with the
general scheme of the farm and at
the same time should avoid, as much
quire difficult and expensive construc-
tion or maintenance. The main con-
sideration, however must be to Sc
cure the highest degree of efficiency
from the farm plant as a whole.
The accompanying diagram, showing
an ideal arrangement Of farm build
ings as we'll as of connecting lanes
and drives, offers helpful suggestions
to the farmer who is planning new ve-
hicle ways in the immediate vicinity
of his farmhouse. This particular ar

In that the animals need not be driven

The earth road is the most common
type of farm road and will probably
so remain. When properly crowned,
drained and maintained with the split
log drag or other similar device, the
earth road, on all but few exception
al soils or in few places immedi-
ately around the farm lots and build
ings, can be made to answer the re-
quirements fairly we'll.

SAYINGS OF WISE MEN

Be just before you are gener-
ous.
The half is better than the
whole.
A clean glove often hides a
dirty hand.
He who works when he does
not have to work will not have
to work when he does not want
to work.
Where there is discipline there
is virtue, where there is peace
there is plenty.-Danish Proverb.
Be consistent in your economy.
Do not try to save on the neces-
stiles of life. To do so Is false
economy. But practice your
economies on those things you
do not actually need-the lux
uries of life.

POWER COMPANY PLANS
TO EXTEND THEIR LINES
Thousand Springs Next

1t is unoffcially announced that a
5000 unit of horse power will be in
stalled at Thousand Springs next
year. There seems to be no doubt
about it, but officials of the Idaho
Power company here are non-com-
initial. From sources regarded as
most reliable, however, it is learned
that plans are practically completed
for this installation, which will sup
ply power to meet all requirements.
Coupled Systems
The Idaho public utilities commits
sion has set hearing for September
to determine the practicablity Of
coupling the power lines of the Idaho
Power company and of the Utah
Power & Light Co. These companies,
it is learned, have considered such
a move for some time, but found it
Impractical without the construction
OF costly line from American Falls
to Shoshone Falls.
A coupling line was decided on
some time ago for the eastern por-
ton of the Idaho Power company's
system, but as much for the Utah
company in winter time as for the
Idaho company in summer. The
Idaho Power company with it's new
units will have ample power for it's
western stsyem and the connection
In the eastern part of the state with
the Utah company's lines would serve
as protection in case of breakdown
or necessary suspension of any part
of the American Falls plant for
overhauling.
1t is learned that the plan to in
stall extra facilities at American
Falls has been held in allegiance
pending the action of the United
States reclamation service, involved
in the proposed irrigation extensions
in Idaho.
Idaho Greatly Ahead
Notwithstanding the unu s al
water shortage Idaho is greatly
ahead Of any other state that has
ever been afflicted with drought
Such condition in a middle western
state would leave it cropless. Idaho
has fairly good crops this year, not
withstanding the temporary handi-
cap. larger even than some states
with normal conditions prevailing.
