F. Rinehart, field animal husband-) man of the university extension division, who says practically all breeders have sold at an advance over last year. Because of, drought condition buying was} late, not having started well un- til the middle of September. Practically all of the Hampshire | and Rambouillet rams are sold. Stomach Worms Bother Sheep. Throughout the Boise valley the stomach worm is becoming widespread, says E. F. Rinehart, field animal husbandman of the) university extension division. | Considerable trouble has been caused. Treating has been gen- eral but some of the lambs still show evidence of the parasite. Interested in Purebreds Much interest has been arous- ed in Cassia county in the plac- ing of purebred cattle. One farmer has purchased 60 head of purebred Scotch Shorthorns} which are said to be as fine as any ever shipped into the state. They were the entire herd of one of the prominent Wyoming breeders. Another farmer, who has just completed a silo, under direction of the farm bureau, is purchasing Holsteins. Study Clothing Work. Demonstrations in the making of clothing are being conducted in Minidoka county for two weeks under direction of Miss Nina B. Huyck, of the university extension force, with the co- operation of Miss Mary L. Lee and Miss Esther Wold, also of the extension force. The vicin- ities of Rupert, Acequia, Paul and Héyburn are being visited. Buying Car of Dynamite. Arrangements are being made by the Bonner county farm bu- reau for the purchase of a car- load of dynamite to be distri- buted to members this winter, for use in clearing land. Kill 15,000 Rabbits The Minidoka county farm bu- reau, since May, has organized 15 rabbit drives, in each of which about 1000 rabbits were killed. Twenty thousand ground squarrels also have been killed, by the use of 5000 pounds of poisoned grain which the asl bureau distributed. Work of the biological survey and the farm bureau, in cooperation in has saved many crops in the dry farm district. Will Wipe Out Rabbits Complete extermination of rabbits in the territory west of American Falls is planned, by a series of drives. This series | begins with a drive October. 80, for which a general city and country holiday has been de- clared. The place fixed for the first drive is the ranch of George Rast, 14 miles west of American Falls. As soon as snow flies, the county farm bureau agent will be expected to cooperate | with the farmers to supply poi-| son necessary to eradicate the rabbits before spring. Thous- ands of acres of grain in that district were ruined by rabbits this year. Hand-picks Seed Wheat Twin Falls county farmers have been so well pleased with success attained in increasing wheat yields by seed selection of Dicklow wheat that they are ap- plying in large numbers at the farm bureau office for this im- proved grain. Car] Irwin is re- ceiving much of the credit for this grain improvement, by his devotion to a tedious and exact- ing system of selection. He visits every wheat field and closely scrutinizes each promis- ing head, separately. The best} kernels are chosen for seed. Mr. Trwin in this manner selects suf- ficient seed for the sowing of an acre of improved wheat each year. The type of Dicklow pro- posed for establishment is a heavy, compact, club-shaped kernel, running from 10 to 13 meshes long, with four to six kernels in a mesh, making eight | to 12 kernels around the head. Bannock gets Club Leader A. I. Tippetts, formerly of Weer county, Utah, has been chosen county club leader of} Bannock county, taking the place of Miss Hazel Bullock, who | has left the club work, to return to her home in Sry inuaiee Finishes For Every Room Walls, Woodwork, Floors and.

Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem, N. C, AN HONEST BOY. John W. Eagleson, state treas- urer and treasurer of the state fair of Idaho, receipted Friday for his first “conscience money,” says the Boise Statesman. A dark-haired, slim lad, who looked to be about 15 or 16 years old, pushed open the door of the treasurer’s office at the state capitol Friday morning and prof- fered $1.50 for “the state fair.” The treasurer, mystified, ask- ed what it all meant. The boy, unwilling at first, finally blurted out the information that he had twice entered the state fair grounds during the recent fair by way of the fence. A third time, he confessed, he had been admitted at the gate by wearing another boy’s pass button. Three admissions at 50 cents each meant $1.50—and his conscience hurt him—and he wanted to pay it. State fair earnings for 1919 were $1.50 larger Friday after- noon. SPECIAL SESSION POSSIBLE. Governor Davies, after having received Wednesday a communi- cation from Governor William D. Stephens of California asking him to call a special session ot the Idaho legislature to consider ratification of the woman suf- frage amendment, declared it en- tirely possible that he may take some such action. “Such a special session,” he said, “need be for one day only and must be at the expense of the members. No other business could be considered except rati-| fication of the suffrage amend- ment.” The possibilty of the session is, however, in an extremely nebulous state, ,the governor admitted. “Tip Top” makes more loaves| tory. of better bread than other fonr| on the market. rom ACTBESS EALLS FROM 10-STORY WINDOW. A woman falls from a ten- Ua window in full view of the audience in the latest Universal Special Attraction, “Vanity Pool,” with Mary Mac Laren in the leading role. This thrilling stunt is performed by Marin Sais, one of six motion picture stars used in this production, which will be shown at the Or- pheum Theatre on Saturday November 1, In this remarkable feature, which was adapted from the story of Nalbro Bartley and pro- duced under the direction of Ida May Park, the role of Mary Ray- al, a girl of the tenements, is in- terpreted with rare feeling by Mary Mac Laren, the “American Beauty of the Screen.” The story deals with political intrigue and the trustfulness of a little unso- phisticated girl, Itisin six reels and represents the best in the art of screen photography. A story with speedy action, a high-light contrast between the home of the tenement girl and the luxurious mansions of the wealthy, elaborate stage settings and beautiful gowns, and thrill- ing climaxes make this offering one of the most entertaining yet produced. ROAD WILL BE CLOSED. Parts of the North and South highway between Whitebird and New Meodaws where construc- tion work will soon be started, will be closed to traffic about November 15, and at frequent intervals thereafter until spring, according to word from Boise. While it was asserted several weeks ago by representatives of Grant Smith & Co., which firm has the contract for construction of this road, that it would be necessary to close the road to traffic, no confirmation of the time the road actually will be closed has been forthcoming, the contractors have promised ample warning of the closing, so resi- dents of the Salmon river coun- try will not be unnecessarily in- convenienced. The Red Cross service flag, indicat- ing membership in the great organiza- tion of mercy, will appear again in November in every window in the Northwest. In every farmhouse, in every city home, in the cabins of homesteaders, in the huts of fisher- men in far Alaska, will appear this symbol of affiliation with the one great organization that knows no politics, no distinction of creed, no high, no low—but unites the hearts of all for service to fellow-men. The window service flag this year has one more stripe than last year, indicating three years of membership in the Red Cross, RED CROSS HOUSE GIVES CHEER AT LEWIS For the Red Cross, the war did not end with the armistice, and even yet there are thirty thousand soldiers and sailors still under treatment in army and navy hospitals. The Red Cross convalescent house at Camp Lewis stands next to home’ itself in the af- fections of hundreds of boys who, sick or wounded, looked forward to the day when they might leave the bare and cheerless ward in the base hospital and spend part of each day enjoying its easy chairs, its music, its books, its pictures, and its good cheer. Even now, a year after the armistice, there are overseas men, patients at Camp Lewis, not yet well enough to be dis- charged, who sit before the great fire- place these autumn deys, thankful that The Greatest Mother is still mindful of them. The picture is duplicated in army hospitals all over the land, and wherever throughout the world Amer- ican boys are Still in Uncle Sam’s serv- ice.
