Alfalfa Seed
At Good Price

The producers Of alfalfa seed in
the southwest corner of Bingham
county, Springfield, Sterling and
Aberdeen have made sales OF their
seed recently at SOC a pound. They
raise the pure Grimm alfalfa seed
and 1t is in good demand in all the
alfalfa growing regions especially the
northern states. The Grimm variety
does not winter-kill from the freez-
ing and heaving of the ground like
the other varieties do.
Seven or eight cars have already
been shipped and there will be two or
three more cars to ship. The seed
goes to Wisconsin, Michigan and New
York chiefly.

J Tourists to Sawtooth

4 i . !. Il q l4Ht i4t
The splendid roads built thru Gus
ter county and up Salmon river to
Stanley Basin and the new road al
ready completed over the Galena
summit make it easy for tourists to
make circuits Of all that territory
and travel thru there is going to be
greatly increased. Tourists passing
thru the Snake river valley, have
been kept out Of the Lost river and
Salmon river country and the Saw
tooth park by the fact that the road
between Arco and Blackfoot has not
been repaired. With the opening of
spring and this road put in good con-
dition,. which can be done for couple
of thousand dollars. the gates will
be opened to greater tourist travel
thru Blackfoot, Arco and Challis.

Fixing Lost River Road

The people of Bingham county and
especially the business men of Black
foot are anxious to lay out some new
road across the desert between Black
foot and Arco to avoid the rocky
places in the road and to cover with
earth those spots in the road that are
rocky and cannot very well be avoid
ed.
The county engineer Of Blackfoot
has made estimates showing that it
will cost about $1,000 to cover all
the rocky spots out as far as the
Butte county line and the people of
Blackfoot propose to go down in their
pockets for that amount and get the
work done early in the spring. They
say it is worth that much to have
good roads to ride on when they go
fishing to Lost river.

broidery form the ribs" that make
the skirt stand out in the umbrella
shape
TT is in the details Of the new clothes
L rather than in the silhouette, says
prominent dress authority here who has
been watching the new things sent over
from France and the output of our own
dressmaking shops, that the note of
originality will be sounded this au-
tumn.
This means for you that If you have
acquired the long waited silhouette and
find that you can wear it with good ef-
feet, you may rest assured that you
will probably have no reason to deviate
from it for another five or six months.
There will be much variety in sleeves.
long sleeves and puffed sleeves will be
worn side by side with the abbreviated
sleeve already established. skirts Will
be fairly short, though possibly with in
creasing width. In these things there
will be no drastic change. But the
clothes have a new look; they delight
us with their originality, and in most
cases this is because of some new mode
of decoration, some clever idea in the
achievement of the silhouette already
| established.
As an example of what mean, take
the little imported model shown in to-
days sketch. 1t is made with cross
over bodice with long hung waistline-
surely nothing radically new in that.
There are the extremely short, plain
sleeves. But the color is of gray blue,
and the fabric of the blouse is of satin,
with the skirt made of exactly matching
georgette. Decidedly novel is this color
and this combination Of fabrics.
Distinct originality is achieved in the
skirt which is SO decorated with length
wise lines of bead and embroidery trim
ming as to give an umbrella effect, the
points around the bottom of the skirt
suggesting the pointed top of a half
closed umbrella. The same design of
bead and embroidery is carried out on
the edge of the satin bodice.
This is an ever popular type of
frock. While not formal evening
gown, it is the sort of gown that will be
worn more frequently in the evening by
well dressed women than the more for
NAL type. 1t is quite suitable for an
afternoon affair. and is entirely appro-
pirate for the late afternoon dance
hours.
