THE "DOUGHBOY OF IDAHO" Striking Statue Recently Selected by State's War Memorial Commission, Is Lifelike Study. It's a far cry Indeed from the stiffnecked, primly dressed recruit which flooded America after the armistice as the sculptured representation of the American fighter to the shirtsleeved, delightfully Informal "Doughboy of Idaho," recently selected by the state's war memorial commission to symbolize Idaho's contribution to the World war. The statue, work of Avard Fairbanks, Portland,' Ore., and Salt Lake City, Utah, artist. Is the most lifelike study of the A. E. F. tafantrymau us the Boche saw him that Arner Statue Adopted by Idaho. x I ican artists have produced, according 1 to both the ex-infantryman and those who have sought to immortalize him In bronze and stone. The Idaho commission has ordered that .all counties of the state have memorials alike in character with the addition that Mr. Fairbanks' "Doughboy" be the main feature of each county's memorial. The American Legion of Idaho has been warm in its commendation of the statue and Mr. Fairbanks has returned the compliment by Informing the service men that: "I am convinced that the American Legion can be a tremendous power in education and in honor and in the glory of our great government. I am Indeed enthused with the loyal stand on Americanism which the Letrion is holdinir out for."

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC I -A Year's Teaching In Antioch. Wlien God was about to launch the ilsslonary enterprise among the Gen- | lies, He arranged for a new religious enter. Antioch was admirably I dapted for such a center. The' upper lasses were Greeks and used the Ireek language.1 The government fflclals were Romans and used the ,atln tongue. While the masses were lyrians, sprinkled among them were ews who had come for commercial urposes; also travellers from all purts j f the world were in evidence. I. A Religious Awakening at Antioch vv. 10-21). 1. The occasion (v. 19a). The perse- . utlou at Jerusalem scattered the 1 Isciples abroad. This God permitted j j order to separate them from the otne people at Jerusalem. 2. The preachers (v. 10a). They | ,-ere ordinary men and women, not J fflclals, but they were filled with the earning desire for lost souls and itnessed of the Lord Jesus in the ower of the Holy Ghost. 3. What they preachqti (vv. 19b, 0). They preached the "Word" and tie "Lord Jesus." All who preach the V'ord will preach the Lord Jesus; or He is its center. The real reason ,hy theie are not conversions today i the failure of ministers to preach be Word. 4. To whom they preached (vv. 19, 9), (1) Some of these disciples ho were scattered because of perse utlon went among the Jews only with j tie gospel message. They had not i et come to see that the gospel j urpose was wider than the Jews. (2) j oine preached to the Grecians ulso. j 'hese were from Africa and Cyprus, i "hey were further removed from the ewlsh center, and therefore were a ttle more liberal. The success of ; tielr preaching was so great that the ews of It reached Jerusalem, the lother church. II. Barnabas Sent to Inspect the York at Antioch (vv. 22-24). This was a wise selection. 1. The character of Barnabas' (v. 4). He was a good man. It Is ighly important in sending a man o follow up a work of the Spirit that is character be good. He not only must ! e of an unblemished character, but Is sympathies must be broad. He aust be capable of entering Into full ppreclation of the things about him. luch mischief often results from ending Injudicious men to look after lie Lord's work. He was full of the loly Spirit. This is an essential uallfication for pastoral work. Only j . Spirit-tilled man oan appreciate the ; i-nrklncss of the Snlrit of God. He I ais also a man of great faith. 2. Work done by Barnabas (v. 23). le gladly endorsed the work and arnestly exhorted them to steadfastly ontlnue* in the faith, clinging unto ; he Lord. There are many allurements o tempt young Christians. The reoicing of Barnabas shows that he ms a man who could rejoice In the rork of others. He did more than aspect the work; for many people fere added unto the Lord. Doubtess he preuched. III. Barnabas Brings Saul (vv. 25, 6). The work grew to such an extent hat help was needed. Barnabas had he good Jugraent to seek Saul for j his Important work. Barnabas knew hat the bringing of Saul wonld mean j Is taking a secondary place. It is he duty of Christian leaders to seek ut men who are qualified for the ,ord's work and bring them from their laces of obscurity, setting them to fork in the Lord's vineyard, mere j re many men In obscurity which It equlres a Barnabas to bring forth. , IV. The Disciples First Called Chrisians (v. 26b). They were not culled Christians in erislon, as Is so often asserted. It fas u consequence of Saul and Barnuas teaching there for. a year that hey were culled Christians. Tne name fas a consequence of the teaching. In-I di Saul's teaching he showed the j inique relation which the Christian ustains to Christ. Since the body losely resembles its head, Christ, they fere called Christians. V. The Church at Antioch Sends Reief to Jerusalem (vv. 27-30). The Holy Spirit through Agubus uade known a great dearth through?ut the world. This came to pas? in he days of Claudius Cesar. Every i aan according to his ability deterained to send relief unto the brethren I fhich dwelt in Judea. Tliey made up aoney for the poor saints at Jerusalem ind sent it by the hands of Barnabas ind Saul. This uct not only proved he genuineness of the work at An- \ loch, but it emphasized the fact that here Is no division between Jew and i Jentile. The Stone the Builder Rejected. l'e also are lively stones acceptable j n find hv Jesus Christ. Wherefore lIso it is contained in the scripture, ! lehold, I lay in Zlon a chief corncritone, elect, precious; and he that : >elleveth on hira shall not be conounded. Unto you therefore which lelieve he is precious; but unto them ehich be disobedient, the stone which he builders disallowed, the same is nade the head of the corner.?I Peter !:5-7. . . GROW MORE FOOD FOR FAMILY USE \ Necessary to Save Shipping Costs on Water in Face of Lessened Returns. BEST TO GROW NECESSITIES Specialized Farming Has Created Peculiar Conditions ? Poultry Is Quickest Meat Supply to Pro' duce on Farm. (Prepared by the Uhlted States Department of Agriculture.) "The American farmer is not going to be able this year to pay freight on vvuter," said a department official. "Water makes up a large part of fresh fruits and vegetables. The answer Is that he must grow his own table food. He must also study the possibilities of substitution. Tbis applies to vegetables, fruits, poultry, eggs and dairy i products which must be transferred from commercial channels to home j consumption if they are to come with- j in the reach of the average farmer's I family. Peculiar Condition Created. "Specialized farming lias created conditions of which comparatively few persons are aware. The gruiu furmer in many instances buys even ids potatoes and green vegetables; the fruit farmer buys his dairy products; and even the man who raises milk for creamery, condensftry qr cheese factory is likely to send his cream or milk away, feed the skim milk or whey to the calves, and not make his own butter.' Tlds year, just as far as possible for him to alter his system in a single season, the department officials advise that he get back to the old plan which was aptly described as 'living at home.' This means not so much remaining ou the farm as it does deriving every practicable product for consumption from the farm. "The average American farmer knows how to raise other crops than those on which he specializes, but it has seemed good business, or at least expedient, to devote his energies to very few or even a single cash crop und .buy his necessities, Just as is done in other specialized industries. The grain farmer is perfectly capable of raising his qwn potatoes, his green garden stuff, and melons, tomatoes and other garden fruits, to take the place of orchard fruits which in many narts of the country have been killed by the late freezes. If the farmer has a piece of really good garden ground he can add materially to the variety and wholesomeness of the farm food supply with scarcely any expenditure except for seeds, and seeds, fortunately. are lowei* this spring than for several years. Poultry Most Important Meat Supply. "The same may be said of poultry. With the 'ncreased freight rates this year, the general furmer's principal The Garden Is a Good Source of Home-Grown Food. meat supply will come out of his poultry yard, either in eggs or in table chickens and other fowls. Pointry is the quickest meat supply to produce, and the farmer will do well to build up a small lloek as rapidly as possible. The increased freight rates on butter and eggs, together with the farm money shortage due to the disappointing returns from last year's crops, will make It advisable for many farmers' wives to return to the butter-making arts which they learned as girls from their mothers and which hhve l>een largely discontinued as farmers became specialists. "Fruit Is likely to be scarce in large and important farming regions, but its place can largely be taken by vegetable products. Two tilings are clear. In tbe first place, tbe average farmer, as it stands now, cannot afford to pay freight on the wafer which makes up the larger part of both fresh and canned vegetables and fruits. In the second place, tinder existing conditions h^ can raise those things cheaper himself than be can buy them, apd he can make many substitutes out of the garden and poultry yard if he sets out to do It. He has the material for the crops, while he is short of money. It Is not good business to run In debt except for essentials of production." The Department of Agriculture will be glad to give Information and ad vice to those who wish to diversify their home-grown food supply. 1 | MANURE PRODUCED ON FARM Dairy Cows Lead All Other Animals Yielding 8.5 Tons Yearly? Goats G:ve Least. Under farm conditions It Is estimated Mint the following amounts of manure muy he saved each yeur from mature animals: IIor.se, five tons; dairy cows, 8.3 tons; other cattle, four tons; sheep and gouts, 0.4 ton, and hog?, 0.6 ton. ' ' - f .. , ? / TEMPORARY PASTURES ARE BEST FOR SHEEP From 10 to 14 Days Is Long Enough on Same Ground. Basis of 1 Acre to 25 Animals Is More Satisfactory Than Seeding Larger Areas?Smaller Lota Are Convenient. (Prepared t>y the United States Department of Agriculture.) For health and for economical use of the pasturage It Is undesirable to keep sheep on the same ground more than from ten to fourteen days, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, In discussing the question of raising sl^eep on temporary pnstures. The mdst generally i: sa'i?WBaSheep Are Valuable Weed Destroyers and Will Kepp Fence Rows, Roadways and Waste Places Clean. useful size of lot Is one acre1 to 25 sheep. This area, ou an average, furnished In experiments 14 days' feed. Arranging the size of lots on the basl? of one acre to 25 sheep Is more satisfactory than seeding larger areas and using hurdles to permit advance to fresh feed each day. Less labor Is necessary, and by going to entirely new ground after ten or twelve days the danger of picking up parasite larvae on ground grazed over earner Is prevented. With a one-acre lot for 25 ewes, or correspondingly larger ones for larger flocks, It Is an added advantage if their length is two or three times the breadth. With a heavy crop of forage that would Inst longer than was considered safe to hold the flock on the same ground, a short piece of cross fenye can readily be put down to divide the pasture Into two parts. The smaller lots are also convenient with purebred flocks to provide for the separate pasturing of smaller lots of ram and ewe lambs. Movable fencing is not likely to be satisfactory for the outside-lot fences unless the whole area to be used lies in a long strip with side fences, when only two end pieces need to be In place at one time for the ground being grazed. STANDARDS FOR CONTAINERS Hamper, Round-Stave Basket and Market or Splint Basket Lack in Uniformity. Three important shipping containers in need of standardization at the present time are the hamper, the roundstave basket, and the market or splint basket, say specialists of the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture. Investigations in all parts of the United States where these packages are used have shown a serious lack of uniformity in capacity, shape and strength which could be corrected by the adoption of standards which have been prepared by the bureau of markets. These standards have been written into a bill, H. It, 4000 now before congress. Its adoption should go a long way toward eliminating the 15 styles and sizes of round-stave baskets, 25 styles and sizes of splint baskets as well as the 50 styles and sizes of hampers. The bill provides for five sizes of splint baskets, 4, 8. 12. 16 and 24 quarts; five#sizes of round-stave has*/ ? i- 1 11/ KCtS '/i-uusntl. 78-imsnci, i-nu!?nci, x 73bushel nnd 2-hushel. and six sixes of linmpers. 8, 16, 20, 32 nnd two styles for 48 quarts.

SWEET CLOVE.TCALLED WEED i Many Farmers Object to Crop Because of Its Persistent Growth? Good Manure Crop. Sweet clover lias often been objected to because of Its persistent growth. Many fanners have classed this valtt, able crop as a weed. Correct cultural methods will control the crop. Sweet clover plowed under In the spring makes a good green manure crop on I any farm. I SUPERIOR QUALITY OF LIME Clam Shells, Refuse of Many Button Factories, Art Most Excellent for the Soils.

Even bathing suits are not immune; some of them flaunt many long ends of bright colored ribbon hanging at each side from a narrow girdle. They make picturesque playthings for the waves. Suits of light-colored jersey cloth have sashes of blnck taffeta ribbon finished with buoyant bows and short ends, or longer bows and ends are featured In this ribbon when the sash Is worn with a vivid color.

But leave It to designers to present a few picturesque. new things to tempt the enthusiast and they may be depeuded on to present floating veils, drooping laces, transparent shapes and other allurements of the late summer. In such hats they revel In block or white lace and In the airiest of hruld? and fabrics. Everything is more or less veiled i In the group of late-summer hats' shown here. The very wide-brimmed ! hat of black mallnes at the top of | the group forms an airy and spirited j support for a ruffle of black chantilly j lace, that veils the eyes and falls In 1 the manner of a veil at the sides j and back.

The very1 lavish use of ribbons oo bouquets for brides and bridesmaids '} cannot be overlooked in this brief chapter In the long story of ribbons. On brides' bouquets they have been wide and splendid and from the bouquets of the maids long loops of rib* bon with ends trailing on the floor have given a new importance to rlh* ( bona Id the bridal procession. Narrow grosgraln and plcot edged ribbons often provide sashes and girdles for georgette blouses which they match in color.,: These girdles are loosely adjusted and often tied at each side. They give very little definition of the waist line and are used on # % blouses with pepluins. Sometimes tbey fall to extend all around the waiqt but are tacked on at each side of the hack and front pnd tied at the sides. A pretty arrangement of ribbon for the evening coiffuro is shown In th? ,> picture, but as hair ornaments ribbons j appear to have suffered the eclipse that has overtaken other hair ornaments of an unpretentious character.
