JUNIOR FAIR VERY SUCCESSFUL
Boys and Girls Throughout South
eastern Idaho Participate.

In spite of the rain which accom-
panied the Southeastern Idaho Junior
Fair and Dairy Show, this event was
very successful. The exhibits in the
Junior section were especially COM
mendable. The girls sewing clubs
made a splendid display and it was
regretted that the prizes offered were
very inadequate in comparison to the
amount of work exhibited. Scores OF
exceptionally worthy articles were
necessarily left out of the awards be-
cause of a shortage in premiums Of
fered
Contests were held in livestock
judging, canning, baking and sewing.
Three members composed judging
or canning team, and two members
a baking or sewing team. The
awards were made according to the
points in work, and presentation.
The boys and girls from outside
counties stayed at the grounds, where
camps were provided in the barns.
Apples were supplied at these camps
by Mr.. J. H. Hale and Mr.. G. G. Shoe
maker of Groveland, free of charge.
The management wishes to take this
opportunity to thank all who assisted
in making the fair pleasant for these
visiting young folks, and especially
Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Miller who
provided meals, and Mr.. Clegg who
furnished the necessary equipment
for the camps.
The following is list of the win
ners at the Junior Fair, both for ex-
hibits and in contests:

That Dull Aching

Don't worry and complain about q
bad back. Get rid of it! For veal
kidneys, lame and achy backs, your
neighbors recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills. Ask your neighbor!
Mrs. w. S. Connolly, Blackfoot,
says: Some time ago 1 was troubled
with my kidneys. There was a steady,
dull ache in the small of my back and
1 tired quickly. Dizzy spells came on
often and black specks appeared be-
fore my eyes and blurred my sight
The worst trouble Of all was the too
free action of my kidneys. Someone
suggested that 1 try Doan's Kidney
Pills and one box was all l needed to-

TAINTED WHEN PHONE RANG
Pioneer Telephone Man Recalls Days
When Women Thought Voice on
Wire Was Supernatural.

The woman radio enthusiast who
thrills with wonder when she succeedS
in picking up a concert broadcast FROM
some distant point probably does not
realize that her sister of generation
or two ago experienced fully az
marked an emotional upheaval when
she first heard a voice over an ordtl
nary telephone. S
Sometimes these first experience
with Bells invention were attended BY
results that were almost serious, ac-,
cording to w d. Mckinney, a pioneer
telephone man of Columbus O., who
entered the business at the bottom, In
the days when boys were employed a.
operators.
"Why, when | first started to work,
as boy, women used to faint whenI
they heard a voice on the other endI
of the wire" Mr.. Kinney declares.
"They thought it was supernatural"
1.-THE exchanges were bedlam," hel
says. "Girls were not employed. TheI
old Bell and Edison companies in theI
seventies hired boys, preferably thick
skinned, to handle the calls. AT firStl
there were no numbers and only namesl
were used in switching the calls FRONT
line to line.
1--WE boys stood in a row along thel
switchboard. When call came in, al
boy would yell to another down theI
board: Give me Old Man HawlinSl
and the calls had to be crossed bel
tween the different parts of the board"l
The first multiple switchboard, thel
forerunner of the telephone switch-l
board of today, was put in service tnl
1870 Shortly after its appearancAl
women were first employed as opera-l

Bathing an Unnecessary Exposure.


Arbiters of fashion in France two
centuries ago not only discouraged
bathing but even the application of
water to the skin. A manual for the
guidance of youth, first published IN
1713, and running through 90 editions
in the course of the century, instruct
ed its readers: "For the sake OF
cleanliness it is well to rub the race
every morning with a white towel IN
order to remove the dirt. 1t is not
advisable to wash with water, for this
exposes the face to the chills of win
ter and the heat of summer" A sim
liar work, published in 1867, warns
children that "to wash the face in
water injuries the eyesight, brings on
toothaches and colds, and engenders
pallor."

Expert Declares Mems Clothes Are Ugly
and Too Mon0t0n0uS Year After Year
BY EDWARD THIERRY
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Lend an
ear, men. Herewith woman nits
back at man. We've been criti-
cising their clothes-short skirts,
long skirts, low necks, ear bangles.
folderols and whatnot-and now
they're criticising ours!
Whats wrong with mems
clothes?"
Miss Sophie Rafelman whose
business 1t is to know about clothes,
since. as aide to Alfred Fantl, buyer
for $50 department stores, she buys
$4,000, 600 worth of dresses a year
says this is the answer:
Two things are wrong. First,
mems clothes are ugly. Second,
they are too standardized.
A harsh word-ugly. But ugly
they are, says Miss Rafelman, when
they are compared with the beauty
Of women's garments.
Men are as vain as women about
their clothes" she says. yet they
haven't the nerve to remedy their
Egliness or to break away from con-
ventional standards. Or too lazy,
perhaps.
TOO much monotony-coat trou-
sers, waistcoat, the same year after
year. They try to persuade them
selves they have new styles. But
the changes are so slight you need
a magnifying glass to find them-a
button more or less, a lapel broader
or narrower, an inch more or less
on the coat, a tiny bit tighter or
fuller at the waist"
Women ought to feel sorry for
men. more to be pitied than blamed.
thinks Miss Rafelman.
IT'S pitiful the way men try to
be- different-and can't" she says.
Vain man, trying to take the curse
Off his drab. somber appearance,
sticks a colorful handkerchief in
his breast pocket and puts on a
bright necktie
But he isn't wearing pins and
icwelry now. Afraid his pattern
win jar and clash with the stand
ardized uniforms If other men.
Men are not original about their
clothes. They follow like sheep.
Why don't women use their inven-
tive genius and their ideas OF
beauty. attractiveness and original
ity in designing clothes for men?
Men make womcn's clothes. Why
rot reverse it2
Haven't men enough sumption
10 rebel? That they itch 30 DO It is
shown by the pathetic way in which
q few daring souls seize upon golf
