ARMY REORGANIZATION
ON PEACE TIME BASIS

Under the law passed by last con-
gres for the peace time reorganiza-
ton of the army, the war department
is working on plan for providing
a vast army of defense when the
hour of need arrives. 1t is said that
force, limited only by the number
of men within draft ages, can be
modified and equipped within
very short time. The first line will
be the regular army of 100000 men
the second line the national guard
with it's 435,000 officers and men,
and the reserve force will be as large
as may be required to meet the
specific emergency. Already, under
the provisions of the new law, a re-
serve force of 10000 officers has
been appointed, and 1900 more
are being considered for appoint
ment.

CHICAGO DIVORCES INCREASE;
HOME OWNING DECREASES

The conteition that home owning
makes for good citizenship and
higher living ideals is corroborated
by recent study of divorce cases in
Chicago, where out of 3577 suits for
divorce filed in a recent year only
seventy couples owned their homes.
In Pill cases there were no children.
Records show that in, Chicago in
1919 there were 1883 marriages
and between 5000 and 5000 divorces,
an increase in divorces Of 20 per
cent since 1911. The growth of the
apartment habit and extravaganza
are given as two prominent causes
for this increase.

Visitors Are Fav-
orably Impressed
With Bingham Fair

c. s. Beebe the insurance man re-
ports having talked with some men
at the fair on Wednesday afternoon,
who were from Idaho Falls and they
expressed much appreciation of the
fine exhibits and the fine condition
of the fair grounds. They said they
had had a fair grounds and had let
it go into private hands and no mat
ter how much they felt the need of a
fair, they are not now able to hold
one on a large scale. 1t would be out
of the question to purchase ground
and erect buildings and put it in
shape to give fair and they feel that
Bingham county has done very pro-
gressive thing to preserve it's grounds
and place it in the hands of the
county.
Farley P. Price was entertaining a
couple of Salt Lake men on Wednes-
day afternoon at the fair grounds
and they were delighted with what
they saw. One of them, a Mr.. Seigel
of the Seigel Clothing company, and
the other w. G. Williams, who was
major in the American army and
had charge of construction for
twenty-five months at the Brest can
torment in France. He said he had
seen many fairs and many exhibit
tions and he did not remember that
he ever enjoyed one more than he
did the short time he was at the
Blackfoot fair on Wednesday after
noon. He said that it was splendid
and worth going long way to see.
He complimented the people of Bing-
ham county on having distributed
the burden by lacing it in the hands
of the county government and then
getting back of it to make it big
success.
Farmers Get Spirit
Many farmers after looking over
the fair expressed regret that they
had not become interested in it in
the spring instead of in the fall.
Many of them expressed a deter
mination to commence preparing for
the fair next spring when they plant
their crops and to keep track of
things thruout the growing season
with the view of bringing exhibits to
the fair. One man made the remark
that he was going to commence right
away, fertilizing and fall blowing
and getting the seed bed ready.

WEATHER AND CROP
CONDITIONS FOR IDAHO

Temperatures were decidedly
above normal during most of the
week turnout the state. There was
considerable cloudiness at times and
light to moderately heavy showers
occurred in many localities, but the
amount of sunshine was adequate.
Soil conditions are generally very
good so far as moisture is concerned.
The irrigation season is about over
and in most of the bitches the water
has been cut heavily.
Weather conditions were mostly
quite favorable for maturing crops
and in the main they were favorable
for farm work, altho in some local
tiles operations were interrupted by
rain; in fact wet, cloudy weather was
prolonged to such an extent in some
localities of the Panhandle, partic-
ularly in Latah county, that serious
damage to grain and field peas was
threatened. But in most localities
the rain was welcomed because of its
beneficial effect on pastures, mead
ows and ranges. Fall pastures, and
ranges are generally in excellent con-
dition and there is promise of ample
fall forage. All livestock are in
thriving condition.
Prune harvest is well along and
has gone ahead without interruption
except where there has been delay
occasoined by car shortage. Apples
are maturing in good shape and TAX
ing on color nicely. Packing will
begin shortly; in fact fall applies are
already being marketed. The potato
crop is coming to maturity and in a
few of the commercial districts mar
keting has begun. Corn is maturing
slowly and in most fields it is ripe
enough to stand fairly heavy frost
without serious damage. Silo filling
has begun in few scattered localit-
les. The sugar beet crop is very
promising in most districts. How
ever, the crop in Bannock county,
where digging has begun, is said to
be deteriorating under the ravages
of worms.

Health Board
Urges Control
Child's Diseases

The state health board has re-
Gently Issued bulletin calling atten-
ton to the fact that the diseases SO
common to children, and which have
generally been considered as some
thing that must be endured, can be
prevented if the proper precautions
are taken, and urges in parents to
acquaint themselves with the proper
preventative means in order to pro-
tect their children.
Says the bulletin:
The mother who is trusting one or
more of her children to our public
schools begins to worry over how
many children's diseases the child
will contract. The diseases are so
prevalent that the mother thinks her
child must go thru with them and be-
done with it. Is it necessary for the
young child to be lburdened with
fighting these diseases year aft r
year, and do the mothers realize that
the after effects of these diseases are
just as dangerous to the future
health of the child if not more so
than the original disease itself? How
many children land adults do you
know who are martyrs to chronic
discharging ears, unsightly scars on
their necks, lung trouble, leaky heart
and damaged kidneys, partial or
complete paralysis and a host of
other ailments that follow in the
train of the so-called harmless and
necessary diseases of childhood?
"In wars preceding the world war,
more soldiers died of infectious dis
eases than were killed by enemies
bullets; but in the great conflict of
the last five years the deaths due to
infectious diseases were in the small
minority. This demonstrates beyond
doubt that the spread of infectious
diseases can be controlled How is
it done? First: BY protecting them
with vaccination, and secondly, by
adequate and effective quarantine of
the sick.
'Do you suppose that the military
commanders would enforce this vac
cination and quarantine if it were
not of proved value? Results are
what count. Infections are spread,
in the great majority of cases, by
your child coming in contact with
your neighbours child who is sick.
This child may have mild type Of
the disease and thus be allowed out
of the house and still that child may
be capable of giving your child
very severe infection. Is it fair to
your child to be thus exposed This
child with the mild infection should
have been strictly quarantined. This
state has quarantine laws to protect
your child. Their enforcement is
trusted to the county and city health
boards and to the school bard; but
these boards must have your earnest
cooperation. See that your neigh
boris child and your own child Is
properly quarantined and If it is not,
make it your business to find out
why.
Have your own child vaccinated
against smallpox and if in typhoid
section of the state, have it vaccin-
ated against typhoid. Follow your
PHYSICIANS advice in treating the
chilh if i'll. Do not treat the illness
lightlv, the child's future health de-
nends upon voIr care now. Let's
reduce infectious diseases to min
imum in this state. Write to the
commissioner Of public welfare for
pamphlets regarding these child dis .
eases. The pamphlets are free

"OLD STUFF" FOR
WESTERN WOMEN
Efete East Having First
Experience With
Female Voter
(By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
BOSTON.-Women of the east
have taken their first plunge into
the mysteries of the voting booth.
With good grace, little hesitation
and no conclusion, they crossed their
ballots for the first time at the pri-
maries in Massachusetts and New
Hampshire.
They were distinctly feminine
about it, however. There were wo-
men who came to the polling booths
with their baby carriages; there
were women who forgot their UNI
brellas and had to go back to the
marking places for them; there were
women who used shopping tactics;
there were women who wanted their
ballots back, after they had been put
in the box because they changed
their minds" there were women who
demanded a new ballot because they
hadn't been neat with the first; there
were women who wanted to talk it
over" and there we're women all
aautter. But only one woman was
found who came accompanied by a
male protector.
Surveying the situation one found:
Lines of baby carriages with cry
ing infants outside the voting booths
in Dorchester, RoXury, East Boston,
Chelsea and other densley populated
areas Of Boston.
Women displaying the shopping
instinct in demanding of precinct
officers in Boston two ballots, one
Democratic and the other Republican
in order that they may look them
over before they vote.
Several women enjoying the expert
ence of precinct officers.
Brighton women out with their
automobiles bringing in the vote, !"
while others in South Boston and
Back Bay busy, themselves ringing
doorbells to swell the female vote.
A Dorchester woman approaching
precinct officer with her ballot,
saying: "Now that I've got it all
marked will you please tell me If |
made any mistakes"
A Cambridge woman exclaiming:
81 won't tell you whether l want a
Democratic or Republican ballot;
| thought this was secret process;
Negro women voters, ranging from
old negresses to young girls, hand
ling the ballot, well-better than
some white women-in the south end
section of Boston:
Ants driving automobiles all over
Boston in search of the forgetful
women voters;
A west end woman refusing to
declare herself Republican or DEM
ocrat, exclaiming: "Im a Socialist,
why should I enroll as either Repub-
lican or Democrat?"
A woman at the Church of the Ad-
vent booth asking an officer outside
to look after her umbrella while she
voted;
A Cambridge woman depositing
her ballot in the box and then ang-
demanding that the election officer
give it back to her as she had not
marked it yet;
And scores of women running
back into the polling booths for UNI
berellas they had forgotten in the ex-
element of the first ballot-thede-
but into politics.
