WASHINGTON. March lS-Six diplo-
matte notes We're made public by the
State Department, constituting the
entire correspondence of the last few
weeks between the United States and
Germany, and between the United
States and Great Britain and France
relative to the abandonment OF sub
marine attacks on merchant ships, the
shipment OF conditional contraband
and foodstuffS to civilians III a bellig-
erent country, the use OF neutral flags
by helligerent merchantmen, the re-
moval OF mines, and the proclamation
of virtual blockade by the allies
against Germany.
Sir Edward Grey's reply on the pro
hibition imposed upon foodstuffs des-
tined for Germany, in which for the
first time Great Britain definitely an
nounces her intention TO establish a
blockade" have again brought diplo-
matte questions to the front. and the
situation holds grave possibilities.
The communications revealed that
the United States government, real
izing the difficulties of maintain
ing an effective blockade by a
close guard OF an enemy coast on
account OF the newly-developed activ-
ity of submarines, asked that "a radi-
US OF activity be defined Great Brit
ain and France replied with the an
nouncement that the operations OF
blockade would not be conducted out
side of European waters including the
Mediterranean"
The definition Of radius of activ-
ity'' for the allied fleet in European
waters, including the Mediterranean,
is the first intimation of the geograph,
ical limits of the blockade. Its limits
were not given more exactly, the allies
claim, because Germany was equally
indefinite in proclaiming all the waters
surrounding Great Britain and Ireland

IDAHO'S BUREAU OF FARM ~.
i MARKETS IN OPERATION.


BOISE, May Especial to Black
foot Optimist-The new department of
farm markets, which was created by
the last Idaho legislature, officially
eame into existence last Saturday with
Director w. G. Scholtiz in charge. On
taking over the management of this
rev and important department to the
Horticulture interests of the state, Mr..
Sc holtz resigned his position as manag-
icg editor of the Western Farmers Re-
view.
When seen at his office in the capt.
tol building today, Director Scholtz
made the following statement
"There are three distinct features in
the law which created this farm mar
kets department. In the first place
there is the farm land listing feature
through which owners can list their
farm property for sale and the de-
partment endeavoring, through funds
made available for this purpose, to
promote the sale of the properties
listed, bringing the seller and the buy
er directly in touch with each other.
Any farm land owner wishing to dis
pose of any part of his holdings is
invited to get in touch with this Of
flee, upon receipt of which request the
necessary blanks and further particu-
lars will be furnished. Then there is
the free farm employment bureau,
through which this office will attempt
to bring the job and the man together,
without expense to anyone con-
cerned. This feature of the law is
really self explanatory, and anyone de-
string farm help of any kind, or anyone
farm work, is requested to correspond
with this office.
"The largest and most important
! feature of this law is, of course, the
one corning the better distribution Of
F! farm products. Instant relief along
these lines of course cannot be expect
ed as the first year will be taken up
largely with preliminary work, organ
izing, surveying the field and mapping
out plans. Right from the start, how
lever I am anxious to get the farmers
Throughout the state to realize that in
this department they will have "a
friend at court a state department
that is particularly interested in their
commercial problems and anxious to
assist in every way possible.

The simplicity of the fashions al
lows but little jewellery. Such touches
as string Of pearls, Turquoise locket,
or heavy gold bracelet, are employed
to give the desired old-time atmosphere.
The hair, however, is decidedly modern,
but so artistic that it in nowise spoils
the quaintness Of the costume. The
bobbed effect is the most popular colt
fure for the young girl. This may
sound as if the younger generation are
recklessly cutting off their hair; do
not be misled for such is not the case.
Some clever Miss lately conceived the
idea OF combing her hair back straight
in front, low over the cars and winding
it in loose coil in back. Her friend
copied it and now all the young girls
have the effect Of the Castle clip with
out the "clip" and the originator Of
the fad, who cut her hair close, envies
them their loag tresses. Since the first
girl wound her hair in this knot in
hack, 90 many have adopted the mode
