First of the 361st

Cpl. Dewey E. Blackburn of
Springfield and Sgt. Frank Dvorak
of Aberdeen are among the first men
of the 361st infantry, in which there
were numbers of Bingham county
boys, to get back in home territory.
They arrived at Pocatello Saturday
and went home Sunday, after visit
ing with friends.
Both boys were in headquarters
company. Blackburn was in liaison
work, signalling and scouting, and
Dvorak was most of the time mail
sergeant. With the 91st division in
Belgium and France they both had
all they desired of fighting and hik-
ing and their happy grins extend
from ear to ear at the thought of
actually being almost home again.
Arrived at Fl. Russell
Other Bingham county men re-
Gently arrived at Fl. D. A. Russell,
Wyo., for discharge are Lyman
Anderson; Lawrence E. Anderson;
Heber l.. Arave; Albert J. Christen-
sen, Raymond Killian; Earl G. Malm,
Sylvester l.. Pierce, Wesley D. Perry,
G. w. Fugate, Christian Frey. All
these men belong to casual COM
panies and may be looked for this
week. -,
Earl l.. Warren of Moline, Kan,
who left drug business of his own
to enter the army, came to Black
foot last week and has a position
with the Powers pharmacy. Mr..
Warren was in charge of the dis
pensary for the 334th F. A. of the
S7th division, and spent quite a bit
OF time on duty at base hospital No.
near Bordeaux. With his unit he
also served at Bassens, the embark
ing point for some of the troops
homeward bound, and loading place
for freight.
Dispatch Bearer Home
Glen w. Fugate of the 364th in
fantry, 91st division, is at home in
Aberdeen with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. M. A. Fugate, who are more
than pleased to have him back again.
For young Fugate had thrilling times
enough when fighting Huns on three
fronts in France and Belgium to
make his Homecoming a matter of
doubt. He was a runner, /. e. one
who goes out in the rain of shot and
she'll with nothing but a tin helmet
for shelter and carries the word be-
tween lines of defense or offense,
which are often separated by a cur
tain Of enemy barrage. He was in
the Argonne forest fight for eight
days at clip, foug hit with the
French around Scissors and with
the British in Belgium.

A sandy loan with plenty of we'll
rotted manure Incorporated in the soil
is well adapted to the production Of
muskmelons The muskmelon is heat
loving crop, requiring long growing
season, about four months, and cannot
be planted until the ground has be-
come warm. For this reason it is USE
less to attempt to grow the muskmelon
in sections where the growing season
is not sufficiently long or where the
temperature is not uniformly high. The
northern portion Of the United States
Is not suited to the growing Of this
crop for the reasons cited above.
It is advisable to start thes plants
in berry boxes, or on sods in the hot
bed, transferring these to the open
ground after the ground has become
warm. In this way considerable time
can be saved and much better results
obtained. 1t Is a good plan to place
plenty Of well-rotted manure In the
hills, which should be about 6 feet
apart. Sufficient seed should be plant
ed so that four good strong plants may
be had in each hill. Another plan Is
to SOW in drills in rows or Z feet
apart, thinning the plants until they
are from IS inches to 2 feet apart in
the rows.
Cultivation should be frequent and
thorough until the vines begin to run.
After this the only cultivation required
Is to keep weeds down.
Muskmelons are liable to be attack
ed by several diseases and have at
least one serious insect enemy. For in
formation on the control of insects and
diseases affecting the muskmelon, re-
fer to Farmers Bulletin 1885, entitled
"Control Of Diseases and Insect Enc
mics of the Home Vegetable Garden"

CONSIDER VALUE or HObE DYES
 0H MARKET

At the demonstration tomorrow at 2:3O o'clock in the afternoon at the Food Hut, Miss Gladys B. Green will consider all of the home dyes on the market in Bridgeport and their rel ative values for different fibers. The use of permanent dyes, the use of tints, which are not permanent but practical for various fibers and also the use of gasoline dyes will be demonstrated.
 The problem of dyeing materials at home has caused the economical housewife a great deal of trouble. Just which class of dyes is best to use in different cases will be the main fea- ture at this weeks demonstration.
 Questions as to whether a yellow dress may be dyed blue and what color a red garment will take will be among the many question solved. The dem onstration will include a study of the fundamental cOlors and the mix ing of them to make other colors.
 On Thursday at 22:O Miss Green will demonstrate the cold pack method of canning tomatoes and the canning of apples for pie filler and also the canning of apple sauce. Jelly will be made showing the pectin test which makes good results in jelly making Q certainty. The public is cordially invited to be present.

WHITEWASH THE CELLAR.

Cellars should be whitewashed every summer and the whitewash may be made at home. This S the method: Take a lump of lime as large as a cup and pour over it enough cold water to fill a twelve quart pail two thirds full. As the water touches the lime it will siZzle and bubble.
 Keep stirring this until it is all white and if the lime is a good qual- ity it will dissolve. If a bit of rock is left after standing six hours that undissolved portion is useless. You should get lime that has not been exposed to the air, or slake lime as it is called. If this Is used it will peel from the wall.
 Never mind if your lime before turning the water on looks grey, for it will turn white if it s a good quality. If it doesn't don't use it, but turn in on potted plants or down the drain pipe. Don't allow Neur white wash to get too thick. Keep stirring g it and adding warm water. It will not look white on the walls or ceiling unti it is dry.

" GIRLS HIKE 100 KILOMETRES
 Ef FOlJR DAYS
On Recent Migration Of the Penn Division From SoUiliy Area to
 Chaumont District.

Greek women in an age that is past accompanied the ten thousand in their campaign across Persia, accord ing to Zenophon's report, and A. D. F. now are hearing of the march of four ''Y" girls attached to the 316th Infantry who hiked with the unit 1e4 hlometers in four days, at oppor- tune times distributing cookies and chocolate to doughboys and officers
 This was on the recent southward migration of the Pennsylvania divi- sion from the SouiIly area to the Chaumont district It was a hike through snow, rain and mud, which tested the hardened combat troops laden with full equipment, so the boys knew it was trying march for the girls, and wherever they appeared the young women were cheered. Their supply of "eats'' and cigarettes were obtained from a heavily laden truck in the Y. NJ. c. A. service.
 The Lorraine Cross, the 18th Dfvi- sion newspaper. has praised the ser vice given by the girls, Miss Leonora B. Davidson of OberIin, Ohio. Miss Agnes M. Olson of Galesburg, IL. Miss Emily Hazard Chamberlain of 127 Mulberry Street, Springfield, Mass. and Miss Dorothy H. Johnston, Utica, N. Y. The newspaper says:
 "On April 1st Miss Johnston and Miss Chamberlain led the singing of the second battalion as it marched into Trampot, and Miss Davidson and Miss Olson swung along ahead of the band as it played the Headquarters Company into Orquevaux. During the whole hike. by a word of encour- cement, jest of challenge. and most of all by their presence, they kept in the ranks the few men who might otherwise have lost spirit and dropped out. The whole 316th is mighty proud of them"

SEWING SUGGESTIONS.

When you wish to draw threads for hemstitching or for drawn work of any kind, wet a small brush, rub it over white soap of any ind until it fathers, then scrub the threadsyou are going to draw. You w+H be greatly astonished to find how easily they come out without breaking when you treat the goods in this manner
 Scanning with a hemstitching ef- feet may be done on the machine by placing several thicknesses of blot ting paper, cut in narrow strips, be- tween the two edges to be joined. Stitch an ordinary seam. Tear away the paper and turn back in edge of cloth.
 Stitch close the fold on each side of hemstitching. Curved seams may be hemstiched as easily as a straight hem. A needle woman, who does a great deal of embroidery in colored wools, always takes the precaution of setting the colors before using them. She soaks the wool for an hour in boiling water to which has been added a tablespoonful of salt and 2 tablespoonfuls of vinegar. At the end of the hour she hangs them to dry, batting but not Wringing out the mois- ture.

E P|RESCRIBES MUSIC FOR
 PATIENTS

Much has been said and written about the value of music in hospitals, but apparently no one had ventured to prescribe definite pieces for par ticular ailments before Mrs. Isa Maud Ilsen, director of hospital music in reconstruction hospitals for the American Red Cross. Mrs. Ilsen now occupies also the chair of musicothe- rapy in Columbia University, New York.
 In her own words, she is trying to coordinate music with living and making the former the greatest pos sible instrument for Amerlcanlza- tion." She had a wide experience be- fore the war in the use of music In curative and penal institutions, and now believes that the time is near when a musical director will be as indispensable an officer in a hospital as an operating surgeon. Of her first class in Columbia University, 12 are now engaged in active musical work in civil hospitals and other institu- tions In Allentown, Pa, is a hospital that requires its nurses to take two years course in voice culture to qualify for work in the institution. Says a contributor to the New York 1lulGS NISdS5otH4i4C NAIE9OAA A''ALA5 -'A@N'' IIsen's work:
 If you are troubled with 1nsom- mia, why not try a serenade?
 ITO be really up to date, you should have a fling at Musicotherapy. If you suffer from sciatica, or she'll shock, or lumbago, or housemaid's knee, take a harmonic prescription. A barcarolle or a sonata may bring you out of the Slough of Despond into new life.
 "If this has a fiippant sound, it is not because the practitioners of the new system of healing do not take it seriously.
 Prior to the time when the re- construction hospitals were placed in charge of the Red Cross, Mrs. Ilsen carried on her work of applying music in the treatment of the wound ed under the Commission on Train ing Camp Activities of the War De- partment.
 For years before the outbreak of hostilities, Mrs Ilsen applied her scientific training and musical skill in a series of experiments on the afflict- ed in prisons, insane asyIums, and homes for the incurable and feeble minded, as well as in divers largo in dustrial plants, and the experience in these places was brought to bear when the test came in the military hospitals of Canada. where she serv- ed first at the beginning of the war. In 1918 she came back to this coun- tidy as director of hospital music un- der War Department auspices
 ''None of the accepted scientific in struments, such as the plethmograph, pneumograph, argograph and dyna- mometer, used to determine the var ! ious effects of music on patients, were applied by Mrs. Ilsen in the ] course of her work. In every case l the nature and extent of the musical f application were determined after simple observation was made of the | patient"
