If the Idaho farmers attempt to hold for $20 hay this fall it will force $e sheepment of the state to reduce the size of their flocks and have the effect of causing many to withdraw from the business, according to Hugh Sproat, president of the Idaho Wool Growers' assoication. Sproat does not agree with Harvey Allred, director of the state farm markets bureau, that the farmers must get $20 a ton for their alfalfa if they are to make the same margin of porfit on their invest ment.

No. 30, 1917 to teach, The school prepares vou for Every member of the faculty ROMANCE SEEN FROM SADDLE Galloping Hoofs Constitute an Eternal Challenge to tht Spirit of Youth. Romance likes to come on horse back; the jingling spurs and bridle Irons chant a happy peon "In his enrs, and from the saddle, as from the throne, he looks out over the workaday world, says a writer la Scrlbner's Magazine. Romance always has been linked with riding; In the plnyroom mounted on a gallant rocking chair youth Hdcs Into a land of golden deeds; later he swings in long gallops on the faithful hobbyhorse Into spicy and fugitive ad venture. To the page on a prancing palfrey and to the cavalryman In khaki the lure of romance Is the some; the rhythm of gulloplng hoofs thuds always In the Imuginatlon, the lady's favor on the lance and the quivering scarlet guidon flutter alike a mysteri ous and eternal challenge to the spirit of youth. "To horse and away," and all the world's before one. Stevenson always wanted to write a story about a man galloping up to an Inn at night, and the very suggestion brings a tingle to the lmaglnatlou: By on the highway low and loud. By at the gallop goes he. He heard him In the Blcepless mid nights of his childhood; and, Indeed, the sound of thudding hoofs always makes the heart beat fustcr. The so ciable clattering of a single footer on asphalt, the crackling of twigs and leaves on the quiet autumn trails, the muffled rhythm of a canter on the turf, Its resonance on a bridge all these make music In the ears and bring the very smell of adventure. To him who rides there Is always "something lost behind the ranges" and his heurt yearns for It Rewarding Italian Soldiers. A salary scheme Js being worked out In Italy, which promises to have good results. Salaries will be paid by employers to their employees, who are on active service the continuation of which will be regulated according to the number of years of previous serv ice. The first clause provides for the reinstatement In their former posi tions of all employees having served for at least one year with the firm for which they were working at the entrance of Italy Into the war. The clauses relating to salaries during the war are as follows: All worklngmen with the colors who have been with a firm for at least five years are en titled to a third of their usual sal aries during the continuation of the war. This applies to married men with families. In all other cases the employers shall pay the men at the rate of a quarter of their former sal aries. Men with ten years' service to their credit will receive, If married, with families, one-half of their sal aries, and If not married a third. The decree only applies to firms employing at least three workmen. Different. Grandma I wouldn't eat that hard apple in that way, Willie. Willie I shouldn't think you would, grandma.

Investigations of the yleW and the value of cedar oil obtainable from some of our southern and western trees have been made by the forest service partly with a view to the possible utilization of waste material left after lumber ing In the notional forests. In these Investigations, longleaf and western. yellow pine leaves produce the most promising results, but the needle lis obtained from these pines did not (irpass the already firmly established spruce and hemlock oils. The large quantities of needles and twigs on forest service timber sale areas are not only a sheer waste, but also form a special fire hazard. An In creased; market for leaf oil would make possible the utilization of some of this waste material. Cats Fond of Needles. Cats seem to have a habit of swal lowing needles. When a cat Is brought to a veterinary hospital suffering with a cough, the doctor always looks for a needle. In one Instance Doctor Cbilds of New fork operated on a cat to re move what he thought was an ordi nary needle. He found a hatpin nine Inches long. But the cat's life was saved. Naturally.

Efforts to find sufficient labor for the farms of California have proved a fail ure. The prospect now is that much of the crop will go unhar vested. Gov ernment conscription of labor may have to be the means chosen of Bolving the problem. , Clothing is to be issued hereafter to the American soldier only in accord' ance with his individual needs. The war department has decided to abandon the system of issuing regular allow ances, which afforded soldiers an op portunity to effect individual savings. Eight suffragists of the women's party took up their posts beside the gate of the White House again Tues day.

Eleven American army officers, members of a special commission sent to France, Engand and Belgium early in June as investigators of army con ditions, arrived in America Wednesday on an American steamship.

WORLD HAPP WEEK WAR PRICES GO HIGH Pre-War Period of Five Years Shows Enormous Climb Has Been Made In Nearly All Staple Foods. Figures compiled by'the department of Labor are accepted by the temporary food administration unquestionably as representing the most accurate infor mation on price conditions the country over of any that are available from official sources. From that department comes a detailed statement of the dif ference in the retail prices of nine staple food commodities for a pre-war period of five years, 1909 to 1913, in clusive, except in the matter of eggs, where information was obtainable for the year 1913, as compared with aver ages for the first three and four months of the present year, as nearly a war period as can be reduced to de pendable figures. Flour for the pre-war period aver aged $6,712 per barrel, as compared with $11.56 for the first four months of 1917; lard raised from 15.06 to 23.40 cents, and butter from 36.3 to 47.8 cents. Cornmeal increased from $2.74 per 100 pounds to $4.07; ham from 24.1 to 32.1 cents; bacon from 25.2 to 81.2 cents; milk from 8.7 to 10 cents; eggs from 33.8 to 46.7 cents, and dressed poultry from 19.9 to 26.6 cents per pound. These comparisons of pre war prices are with those for the first three months of the present year. CORN SUPPLY LOWEST EVER Decrease of 24 Per Cent In Nine Years Preceding War. Supplies of corn in the Central West have reached the lowest point ever known, according to a statement of conditions for June 1, 1917, obtained from official sources. The five corn-producing states of Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Ne braska had on hand at that date but 357,000,000 bushels, as compared with an average of 467,000,000 bushels for the nine preceding years, or a decrease in the reserve for these five states of 24 per cent. This is the smallest re serve by 15,000,000 bushels during that period, the smallest crop being in 1914, when it fell to 372,000,000 bush els. The largest crop was in 1913, when it reached 621,000,000 bushels. Iowa's corn reserve for 1917 has de creased 15 per cent from the nine-year average. Illinois' reserve shows a decrease of 37 per cent, and is the smallest reserve in the entire ten years by 11,000,000 buhsels. Ohio's reserve is a decrease of 45 per cent from the nine-year average, and is 29 per cent less than the pre vious low record for that period. Indiana's reserve is a decrease of 23 per cent from the nine-year average and only in one year, 1909, was the re serve less, and then only by a million bushels. Nebraska alone shows an increase, and that of only 4 per cent. Spring Grain Crop is Poor. Spangle, Wash. From reports and interviews with reliable farmers who own a section or more of land in this vicinity, the spring grain is a failure, will not be cut at all, if rain does not come within a few days. With rain, the crop at its best will be 25 per cent of a normal yield. Winter grain will make between 65 and 75 per cent of an average crop. Winter grain that was frozen and re planted with wheat tor which $3 per bushel was paid for the seed will not be cut at all.

I T I I This kind of rough talk will be heard less 1 ere In town If people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn or hardened callous stops soreness at once, and soon the corn or callous dries up and lifts right off without pain. He says freezone dries Immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding skin, A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any drug store, but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callous from one's feet Millions of American women will welcome this announce ment since the inauguration of the high heels.

The old idea that farm crops "run out" may snfely be looked upon as humbug, say the farm crops men at the Iowa experiment station at Ames; that If reasonable care Is given to the selection of good seed and proper methods of soli culture each year. Under careless management, of Course, crops will deteriorate the same as an imals or men. If, due to careless handling, farm crops do run down or "run out," the best thing to do la to run them out. Dispose of the poor stuff and mnke a fresh start with good seed from the farm of a thrifty neighbor. Then keep the seed good. With tests of hundreds of varie ties of different classes of crops at the experiment station at Ontario, Can ada, Ames and other places, where reasonable attention was given to fun ning and grading seed each year, cases of "run out" are practlcafly unknown. This 1ms also been the case on all well managed farms, also. With proper management and nor mal conditions the seed grown on the farm should always be the best seed for that farm. AUTUMN DEMAND FOR CELERY Tendency to Rush Product to Market Before It li Well Blanched Lots In Trimming. The bracing fall weather will stimu late the demand for celery. At this season when It Is selling readily at good prices, there Is a tendency to rush celery to market before It is Well blanched. This is a mistake, because It necessitates severe trimming at the market end, and the product goes to the cheaper trade. To catch the best grade, celery must be fully blanched, clean and well trimmed. "Handling" celery should be finished promptly and the rows ridged as fast as possible. If the soil is allowed to get Into the hearts of the plants it will cause rot Celery Intended for storage should not be ridged. In soma qunrters there Is a prejudice against blanching celery with boards. It Is claimed that blanching with earth makes it crtsper and gives it a better flavor. Just the same, much of the product grown in various parts of the country is blanched with boards, and It sells for top prices, too, The Drink That Fits A 7ZV- ' lyoritwait for time; to heal your slurvlet Resinol do i 't now DAISY FLY HIlER'SEttSTEffi Jllllea.Nnt, cU.a, ornamtaul, convM-. lent, cheap.
