products must be planned with a view
to storage In this scheme potatoes,
cabbage, celery. bcets. carrots. onions,
beans and several other vegetables are

The squash and pumpkin are two Of
the best vegetables for winter and
spring marketing Both may be kept
In perfect condition for months. Dry
air and high temperature are the re-
Quirements for storage IN this case.

have a good furnace room find this
satisfactory place for storage. A
steady temperature should be secured.

Should President Wilson find it
necessary to call the Idaho ma.
tiOnal guard to the colorS, he
would'reeeive a prompt and help.
| ful response. In few, ii any
states is the guard better prepar-
ed for active service. In proper
tion to its population Idaho stands
! first in preparedness. II is one
of only five or six states in the
Union in which the national guard
membership is above the minimum
of S67 men.
The Idaho national guard con-
siStS of II companies and hospi-
tai detaehments. Inthe ranks are
800 healthy, loyal young men, well
drilled, skilled in craftsmanship,
capable OF taking care of them
selves under all conditions. There
are So officers who have demon
Strated their fitness to command.
The equipment has been closely
inspected and is in perfect con
dition. The heavy tentage is kept
in Boise, where it is available ON
a moment 5 notice. Otherwise,
each company has its own equip
ment. Every company has recent
" passed inspection and all have
been pronounced fit in every par
tieular.
During the past year TAI
guardSmen fired the full target
course, taking high rank in
Workmanship.
The war strength of a national |
guard regiment is 1886 officers
and men, with a medical corps of
"a. The Idaho regiment could |
easily be brought up to war
strength should the necessity |
arise. In the state are many ex-
regulars, ex-volunteers and ex-
guardSmen who would make
splendid recruits. In Boise alone,
it is estimated, there are about
IS former eavalrymen, physically
fit, whose services would be avail
able IN emergency. OF veterans
of the Spanish-Ameriean war, who
would not hesitate if their eOun-
try called them again, there are
a large number in Idaho who have
shown their military ability in a
way that will long be remember
ed.
Ordinarily a state regiment re
quires about three months pre-
paratiOn for the field. The Idaho
national guard could, in the opin-
ion of competent judges, be mob
ilized in as many weeks should
it's services be needed in a hurry.
That is, provided war strength is
not demanded. The equipment
available would provide for 1000
men. Additional equipment could
be Obeained in about 10 days.
Idaho has the guard organiza-
ion and the spirit, and stands ]
'eady to answer the nations call q
It any moment. The companies :
comprising the Idaho national
,uard are:

MINERS TRAPPED
Six Workers Die, Cut Of by
Explosion.
OF II in Mine, All Taken Out
Except 8 Missing.

Kempton. w. Va, Feb. 29.-Six men
are known to be dead, nine are miss
ing and So have been brought safely
from the mine of the Davis Coal &
Coke company, where an explosion oc-
CURED today soon after the miners had
gone to work. Rescuers believe the
missing men have perished.
The mine, which is shaft 427 feet
deep. was not seriously damaged. The
explosion. it was stated, was probably
caused by dust.
Seventy-one men were trapped in
the mine by an explosion. Two
made their way to the surface, and
rescuers vii hin an hour had brought
out 81, four of whom weIe e dead and
two 50 seriously injured that it is be-
ieved they will not survive. Volun-
teers were working under the direc-
ton of trained rescue crews in an at
tempt to reach the others.
The mine has been considered Cne
of the best and safest in the region
The working force today had just
reached their places when the explo-
sion occurred. Rescue crews were
quickly recruited from other mines

PLEA is IN Vain
UnWritten Law Doesn't Fit
Case, Says Prosecutor.
Husband of 15-Year-OId Bride
Present at Warren Staying.

Fort Worth, Tex, Feb. 29-The
"unwritten law will not save Cath
crime Harrison, l 8 years old, bride of
a local bankers son. from prosecution
for the murder of w. L. Warren, 60,
proprietor of a boarding house, whom
she confessed she shot because he
wronged her year ago.
This was stated positively this after
noon by Marshall Spoonts, county at
torney.
''Will the fact that Warren-if Mrs.
Harrison's confession is true-was liza
BILE to a death sentence for his alleged
attack upon her, affect her prosecu-
ton for murder" Spoonts was asked.
Most assuredly not" he declared.
"She has confessed that she murdered
Warren and that her husband was with
her at the time. The case against
both of them will proceed as rapidly
as possible
Mrs. Harrison's arrest resulted from
the fact that she made a confidant of
a girl chum. The girl, an 1S-year-old
ward of the juvenile court. according
to the county attorneys office, carried
the secret of Warren's murder until
she was on the verge of a mental
breakdown

Referendum Vote in st. Louis
Today on Subject.
Can't Reside i'm Block Where 75
Per Cent Are White.
DOESN'T AFFECT OWNERSHIP
Restricts Solely Use of PrOpert!
for Living Purposes.
Sixty-Five Election Officers on
Duty at s. Each.

St Louis, Mo, Feb. 29.-Voters of
st. Louis are deciding at a referendum
election today whether two measures,
designed to restrict the negro popula-
ton to certain parts of the city, shall
become ordinances.
Two bills, both submitted by petition
under the initiative clause of the city
charter. are being voted on. One pro-
vides that negroes shall not move into
blocks occupied wholly by white per-
sons, or that white persons shall not
move into blocks occupied wholly by
negroes.
The other proposed ordinance pro-
vides that negroes shall not move into
blocks in which rs per cent of the
houses are occupied by whites, or that
white persons shall not move into
blocks in which rs per cent of the
houses are occupied by negroes.
If both ordinances are adopted. the
second. being the more stringent of
the two. would be effective.
Neither ordinance puts any restric-
ton on the ownership of property. but
restricts solely the use of property
for residence purposes. Negroes who
are employed in houses or apartments
occupied by white persons are unaf-
fected by the ordinances. Apartment
house janitors. who live in the base
ments of apartments occupied by
WIltcS WOulQ DOl De alleCleQ.
About 500 Blocks for Negroes.
Both ordinances contain clauses
providing that the proposed laws shall
not affect persons at present living in
blocks occupied by members of the
other races.
If the whole block" ordinance is
adopted, about 500 blocks in the city
would be available for negro resi-
dence. If the more stringent or "75
per cent measure is s.Gopted, only
about $50 blocks will be available for
negro residence.
Attorneys say certain clauses of the
"75 per cent" ordinance are vague.
and litigation seems certain if either
ordinance is adopted.
The ordinances have been strenu-
ously opposed by negro organizations
and by many white friends of the race
as tending to crowd the negros into

men that the new rule of subn arine
warfare which was announced in the
German memorandum regarding the
