The radiance frosts the iron roofs.
The wires are a silver filigree against
the faint, warm violet sky-the poles

RACIAL oRIGIN-oid Teutonie.
SoURcE-A given name.
Here is a third group Of family
names tracing back to the ancient
Teutonic given name of ANAL" or
"Amala," all of which seem to bear
signs of having come down to us
through other sources than Norman
French. They deserve special discus
sion also as being in all likelihood
much older as family names, than
others derived from "Amal."
While family names did not come
into common use. and use similar
to that of modern times, until about
the eleventh. twelfth and thirteenth
centuries, they were not unknown to
the northern Teutonic races at a quite
early period: that 10, to the Franks,
the Anglo.Saxons, the Danes and the
Norsemen. Among these peoples
there existed clan names; but the
loosely drawn. The clans did not, as
in the case of the Gaels. constitute
the backbone of the entire social and
economic system.
These clan or family names were
formed by the addition of the ending
ing" with certain variations, gener-
ally to given name (in which case
that given name was Widespread In
all its variations through the rela-
tionship group. Thus individuals OF
a community, more or less closely
related, in which such names as
Ethelred would be common. would
bear such surname as 'Etheling" In

birds prefer solitary trees in which
to build their nests, probably because
they can keep closer watch on their
preserves" These biFUs are devoted
to their nest and are % vigilant that

until they are as large as their par
entS and can be distinguished from
them only by the shorter tail.
The fear which crows have of the
kings was shown very amusingly by
a tame crow we once had. Whenever
kingbirds came about the lawn the
crow would scurry under the porch
or fly to us for protection.

I draw pictures of them on her black
board in the playroom. She can tell
by finding there a picture of a plant

she is to water the flowers. Then
when she has finished task she may

almost every permanently succeeds
full farming region is evidence of the
vital part played in its success by
live stock. Many are the districts
which, endowed by nature with ex-
ceptional soil fertility and other fav-
orable conditions, have undertaken
tho impractical-the business Of
farming without livestock. For a
time they have succeeded, but not
permanently. They have mined their
soil they have taken from it without
giving in return; they have allowed
the dollar close to the eye to con-
ceal from view the future. Today
many of the most prosperous farm
ing regions are those that have been
reclaimed by the introduction of live
stock after no live stock program of
farming had brought them to near
desolation
Cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, and
poultry are the balance wheel in the
system of balanced farming that sue
ceeds, the system that is growing con-
stantly into greater favor in the state
of Idaho and her neighboring states
of the Pacific northwest. While ami
mails convert great quantities of farm
waste into valuable products, they,
likewise, lead to the production of
other crops than the one which in
evitably dominates where live stock
is not grown. These other crops,
with scarcely an exception, mean a
better class of farming. For instance
the wheat farmers may put in few
dairy COWS and few hogs. The next
logical step is the seeding of por
ton of the farm to alfalfa, clover,
corn, peas or other feed crop, with
resultant benefit to the soil and re-
duction in the previous wastefulness
of summer fallow. The cattle and the
hogs yield incomes when the wheat
is not ready for market or after it is
sold and the returns dispensed. They
provide employment with income for

most months of the year, whereas,
under the one-crop system of grain
farming, crop failure means total fail
ure.
Idaho already on the road to per-
manent success through the produc-
ton of live stock as part of it's nor
NAL farming program, has before it
as it develops, more farm flocks of
sheep, more well-bred and well-cared
for dairy herds, more good horses,
more beef cattle and more brood sows
will be found playing their funda-
mental part in the upbuilding of the
intermountain commonwealth.

A WOMAN LOVE TWICE p

While of great interest to every
one of us who ever married or
drought of marriage land who hasn't
throught of marriageO Can Wo-
man Love Twice?" the Film Book
ing Offices photoplay starring Ethel
Clayton, which comes to the Idaho
theatre on Sunday, will be Of par
ticular interest to veterans of the
late war and their women folks
especially the latter. For, while the
picture as whole is dramatic
treatment of theme that finds
universal response, the woman folks
of former soldiers will have especial
opportunity to indulge in the ia
vorite feminine pastime Of what
might have BEEN" inasmuch as the
story concerns girl-wife and
mother whose husband is killed in
France
The battle scenes themselves, while
realistically thrilling and stirring,
merely form incidental backgrounds
to establish the heroic death of the
girls husband. Forced upon her own
resources after the birth of her son,
the young woman is flung by circum-
stances into the role of a cabaret en-
tertainer. Then, for the future of
her baby, she is led to practise a great
deception-she passes herself off as
the wife Of man whom his father in
California believes to be dead. Ora
matte surprises come thick and fast,
especially after the dead" man re-
turns to find woman he doesn't even
know posing as his widow. How
gigantic explosion reunites a father
and son and brings second love to the
woman forms one of the biggest eli
makes ever brought to the screen.
