FINE CURE FOR FLAT FEET
Turn Pig Trough Upside Down,
Grease, Then See How Far You
Can Walk on Edge.

Take that old pig trough in YOU
backyard, turn it SO that the open
part is to the ground, grease its
slanting sides and then try to walk
on it without falling for the length
Of 20 feet.
That is q device that one of the
colleges has instituted for the dis
abled men with fiat feet who are in
training there under the federal
board for vocational education.
The sides of the trough aren't
easy to walk on even if they are pol
ished in this case instead of being
creased. To walk on it requires the
turning in of the feet, and this con-
stantly raises the arch and helps the
feet in the instep. 1t is a great
scheme which has been inaugurated
for the men.
Some of these colleges and schools
are determined to make these boys,
who are handicapped with wounds
or disease by their war service, leave
their halls better trained vocational
ly and physically.

TRUE wiFELY DEVOTION.

1t Countess Tolstoy really copied
out the 100000 words of "War and
Peace" seven times while Tolstoy
was casting and recasting various
parts of his masterpiece, she I'M
doubtedly deserves the palm for pa
thence and perseverance; and the
more 50 from the fact that her hus-
bands writing, illegible as often as
not, must have added to her toll, ex-
pert as she naturally was in de-
ciphering it. The fact is that the
countess, with strong literary tastes
herself, took the deepest interest in
her husbands work; but 100000
words seven times over is surely Z

sUDAEs WEALTH IN CATTLE
Enormous Herds Are Raised and Z
Brisk Trade Carried on With !,
the Shrewd Arabs.

The cattle trade of the upper
Nile, carried on by the Shilluck and
Dinka tribes with the Arabs, gives
opportunity for quite an extensive
barter business. The Arab traders
offer the natives all kind Of gaudy
gimcracks for their cattle and hides.
A traveller in the Sudaa cannot fail
to be impressed With aae country's
enormous wealth in horned and
hornless cattle. He will meet pro-
cessions of plodding beasts along the
narrow roads, and remark with as
constituent the orderly way in which
these herds pass each other. Percy
Martin, +. R. G. S., describes in the
African World the complete dis
cipline" which reigns. Even when
the herds are seen approaching one
another from opposite directions
and upon the same narrowly defined
track, the columns merge into one
another no more than do the sepa-
rate streams Of water of the Blue
and White Niles or Of the Black and
White Amazons, streams that run
side by side for over 100 miles.

] B. Collins, Pierce City Pioneer,
Killed.

John B. Collins, of Pierce City
prominent resident Of Clearwater

stock man, died at 6 a. m. Mon
day at the farm home Of Charles
Miles three miles from Weippe,
from injuries received early Sat

met riding horseback resulted in
him being thrown against tree,
causing a fracture OF the skull

Miles farm, his condition forbid
ing bringing him to Weippe for
treatment.
Throughout Clearwater county
friends will mourn his death,
while his acquaintance and adj

funeral service was held at
Weippe Tuesday and the remains
were brought to Lewiston We'd

Ford Plant Making New Motor
Fuel.

Five thousand gallons Of ben
zol, a by-product of coke used for
motor fuel, is now being daily ex-
tracted and refined at the Ford
Motor Company's blast furnace
coke ovens near Detroit, Michi-
gan. This fuel, which is more
highly combustible than gasoline
is now being sold at a public sta
ton at the above named plant,
and has proven highly satisfac-
tory. This price at PRESENT. is
about the same as that Of gaso-
line.
While the Ford Motor Com
pany is not the first to discover
or use this fuel for motor cars,
still the public station is the first
ever opened to sell benzol exclu-
sively for moor car consumption.
This filling station carries sup
ply Of $4,000 gallons of benzol
on hand all the time. To date
some 100000 gallons have been
sold and used by car and truck
drivers in Detroit. Particularly
during the recent strike there
was an exceptionally large de-
mand for this product.
Benzol has not as yet reached
the highest stage of refinement,
and present results are best when
it is mixed in equal portions with
gasoline. Heat and cold also af-
feet differently from gasoline.
But the Ford chemical labora-
tory is doing great deal of ex-
perimenting and soon hopes to be
able to refine it so it can be used
alone under all conditions. Of
course, its chief effectiveness
comes from its high conclusive
power which is between twelve
md fifteen per cent greater than
gasoline.
Ford officials state there is no
oossibili+-- of benzol ever displac-
ng gasoline as motor fuel, since
is by-product of coke and
therefore, obtainable only in linn
ted quantities.

gageds in by the extension workers,
the press, bankers, business men, and
farm organizations could arouse the
necessary interest and enthusiasm to
insure a great increase in cover crop
planting this fall. The extension
forces of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural Colleges can plan such a
campaign, assist in arouSing interest,
and furnish information as to cover
crops best adapted to particular sec
tions, but they must have the moral
and financial backing of the other
agencies named to make such cam
paign complete success. Especially
can business men and bankers or their
organizations be of great service by
assisting and arranging for an eco
nomical supply of seed and fertilizers,
as we'll as by using their influence to
induce farmer customers to sow suit
able cover crops on their farms this
fall.
The time for sowing fall crops is al
most here. Consult your county agent

Department of Agriculture as to the
best crops for your section, and get

FARM DEPARTMENT

lASow Cover Crops On Every Farm.
4 Before the great war progress had
been made toward getting some KIND
OF cover crops sown each fall on
southern farms. County agents and
other extension workers stressed their
importance and each year thousands
of demonstrations gave ocular proof
of their value. Following the out
break of the war, however, there was
a great decrease in the acreage sown
to such crops. This was due to labor
shortage, high-priced seed, unsettled
conditions, and particularly to the
stress of food production.
We should now endeavor to regain
the lost ground and again stress suit
able cover crops as part of the farm
. system for the South. Let us try to
make the early slogan of the Farmers
Cooperative Demonstration Work.
"Cover Crops on Every Farm, re-
ality in every county in the South this
year.
Winter cover crops have a special
value on southern farms. They pro-
tect the land from washing, prevent
loss of plant food by teaching, fur
nish grazing for livestock during the
winter months, and in the spring may
be plowed under to the great bene-
!, fit of the soil, or left for, harvest for
hay, grain or seeds.
/. Crops to Consider.
The small grains and the clovers
are the most satisfactory crops for
this purpose. They are all adapted
to southern conditions and SOILS In
most of the southern states oats is
the most important small grain. Not
over rs per cent of the amount needed
for home consumption is now grown.
The acreage in fall oats should be
greatly increased. They can be pro-
duced cheaply, mature early, and can
be followed in most of the states by
corn and cowpeas, cowpeas for hay,
sweet potatoes, or other fall crops.
Rye is better than fall sown oats in
the northern tier of states of the
southern group.
Oats, rye, wheat, bur clover, GRIM
son clover and the vetches, sown with
oats, are valuable as cover crops. The
choice will depend on your soil and
location, and the County Agent or the
Agricultural College will advise you.
Plan a Cover Crop Campaign This Fall
The severe drain on soil fertility
from growing emergency food crops
during the war makes it more than
ever important to now grow restora-
tive crops. We must not only main
tain but increase our soil fertility If
, probable production of our money
crops can be continued under the new
conditions. A concerted campaign en-

more than anything else, has brought
them up to the point where there is a
very great saving In making them at

there are other good reasons why moth
