When shortages are found in the

mon excuse of the dealer is that the
meat was trimmed after being

that if an order is telephoned to a

steak it may arrive at the house all
trimmed and when placed on the
scale weigh less than three pounds.

That the American Home Means to the State To4la7

THE searching test of Ameri-
Il can homes to-day is not the
ease with which they may be
managed nor the value to us per
sonally, but it is the Importance of
each home as a state unit and as a
group of potential patriots.
Ever since there have been homes
worth guarding men have fought to
preserve them, and the thought that
our own American homes have been
spared during the war has made US
realize how dear they are, how in
nuentlal they can be, and we feel
that we must make every effort to
preserve their characteristics, threat
ened as they are by the turmoil of
the times and the difficulty of main
talnlng them at the desired standard.

civilization is based and which are

hitherto developed our best citizens
should not be given up lightly for

EUCH advice is showered
WI upon women concerning
the care and training of
children, but that other subject,
equally important, the care and
training of husbands, is, for the
most part, untouched, unless it is
this that women discuss in the sum-
mer rocking chair frahkness on hotel
verandas.
As far as women's magazines are
concerned, the care that is empha-
sized is chiefly the care of the hus-
bands digestion, which idea coin
cides with the eminent French
woman's contemptuous "Feed the
brutes." The wife who herself
would lunch contentedly on a glass
Of milk and piece of rye bread will
cheerfully concoct appetizing dishes,
will spend, nay, is urged and en-
couraged to spend, hours of labor
in camoufaging by skilful cookery
Hooverized meals so that "He" shall
not mind that they are meatless or
wheatless. One somehow gets the
idea that the husbands stomach is
all-important. And in a way it is.

domestic peace, if for no other rea-
son, will guard her husbands diges-

The new Fairbanks picture
Bound in Morocco" is described
as a snappy twentieth century
high-geared, romatic comedy
drama, travelling at high speed
all the time. The story by Allan
Dwan makes it possible for Mr..
Fairbanks to present several
new stunts that he created espe-
cially for his new picture, which
will be shown ut the Orpheum
theatre next Thursday. One
stunt, worthy of mention,is a
dive that Mr.. Fairbanks makes
from the top of a high sand
dune to the shoulders of Fred
Burns, who is passing by on a

ed by an exciting hand to hand

BONDS . ARE DEFEATED

BONDS . ARE. DEFEATED
The North highway district,
embracing Mohler and Central
ridge section, in Lewis county,
defeated the proposal to vote
bonds in the sum Of 100000
at Tuesdays election by a vote
of 121 for the bonds and 81
against bonds. The law requires
that bond elections be voted by
two-thirds majority and with
1873 votes cast, 1875 for the bonds
would have been necessary to
carry the election.
This is the first highway dis
trict in the entire central Idaho
country that has voted against
highway improvements this
year. The report from those
opposing the bonds is that they
are not opposed to highway i'm
provement but feel that some
definite program of highway
improvement should be adopted
before the bonds are voted.
There we're two voting places
in the district, one being at
Mohler and the other at the
school house on lower Central
ridge. The vote at Mohler was
SO for the bonds and IS against
bonds. The school house vote
was So for bonds and 2 against
bonds.

PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TO FORESTALL NEW

Washington. June 17.-Rumors of a new outrage by radicals to be at tempted Independence Day have reached the Department of Justice. which is taking all needed precan- tions to forestal the plotters.

 Attorney General Palmer is giving much of his time to the investigation of the plots. one of which so nearly cost him and his family their lives re- gently.

county. to w H. Reynolds. who holds the same position in Mobile county. The chal- lenge is couched in the following lan- guage:
 The chairman and the executive com mittee for Montgomery county in the Ala bama Memorial campaign hereby formally challenges you and your county to a friendly contest in the campaign for funds for the Alabama Memorial
 The campaign organization for Mont gomery county has assumed a quota Of $50,000. an amount, according to the basis of apportionment fixed by the state head quarters, which is far in excess of the amount we would normally be expected to raise. The quota for Mobile on that basis is less than half of the amount assumed by Montgomery.
 Since the city and county of Mobile exceed Montgomery both in population and per capita wealth. and inasmuch as it's people are as patriotic as any others in the state, it is believed that the quota assigned by state headquarters is far less than the amount which they would really be glad of the opportunity to give.
 Tt is believed that Mobile county should raise at least S500o0. the same as the amount assumed by Montgomery. This challenge is therefore made as a test of your patriotism and public spirit. and in part to develop further interest in the campaign itself
 Tn this connection it may be stated that the state campaign headquarters announces that suitable recognition will be given to the county first to complete it's quota. and that separate public re- cognition also will be given the county which shall bring up the largest percent age in excess of it's fixed quota.
 So much enthusiasm has been aroused in Montgomery as to induce the belief that the Capital city will not be tagging, but will be among those counties which

Washington Suffragettes ConUinced Alabama WiU
 Ratify Their Amendment
Also Believe Legislature Will Submit Amendment To State Constitution Giving Women Right
 To Participate In Primary Elections.
By HUGH W. ROBERTS.

Washington, June 17.-(Specia1) suffragette headquarters in Washing
 ton admitted delight this afternoon in
 that the preliminary poll of the Ala ebama legislature proved to their satis- faction the Montgomery Advertisers poll incorrect.
 The Advertiser found only five sen ators in favor of the amendments ra.- lfication. Women in Washington say the case is not so desperate-tha it is not desperate at all. Pressed to give the concrete result of their inyestiga- stlon, they declined. It was left to tne understanding of the correspondent, however, that the women think they will win
 An interesting fact developed was the conviction of the women that the legislature would not only ratify the amendment but would submit to the people of Alabama an amendment to the Alabama constitution giving wo- men the right to participate in pr;- mary elections
 This move, if taken, would be pri- marily for the purpose of defeating senator Underwood, who has consist sently opposed the federal amendment. ] Local lobbyists contend that the legIs- Iature, as presently constituted, is an anti Underwood legislature, though { divided in it's affection between l.. H. Musgrove and S. D. Weakley. Washington understands both these opponents of Senator Underwood to be advocates of equal suffrage.
