KILLING BIRDS

There is said to be this summer,
among ignorant classes of people. a
perfect orgy for bird killing. The high
price of meat constitutes an added
temptation. The fact that Mr.. Robin
and Mr.. Bluebird have sweet songs
does not deter them. They smack the
pot pie in their hungry lips, also the
dollars the game dealers will pay.
Meanwhile we are trying in this
country to raise an increased food
supply to win this war. We have
planted much more land than usual.
The pests are increasing proportion
etely. There will be a bug for every
stalk of corn and hill of potatoes. But
Tie birds, which are the protection
against pests, do not increase pro-
portionately. In fact it seems likely
that with this free killing they will
decrease. But crops can't be raised
under these conditions.
Protection Of bird life is a part of
the war game. Let police officers get
after bird killers as one of u most
~insidious enemies. The place for the
man who wants to do any shooting
is in the trenches.

Experienced Truck
Drivers in Demand
Transportation and Living Expenses
60 With Positions to Drive For The
Red Cross Association.

WASHINGTON, July 31-Twenty
experienced motor truck drivers,
twenty helpers and ten expert me-
chanics are needed at once by the
American Red Cross for service in
France, according to a cabled request
Just received by the Red Cross War
Council from Major Grayson M. p.
Murphy, in charge of the Red Cross
mission to France.
The mechanical squad will include
master carpenters, body builders, ma
chinists, painters and electricians
two each. The trucks for which the
drivers are sought are of two-ton ca
pacity and will be used in the rapid
transfer of Red Cross supplies from
seaports to their destinations, a SER
vice made necessary by the congested
conditions of the railroads in France.
Volunteers beyond military age
have been asked for this service by
the American Red Cross to work with
out compensation and Red Cross Of
ficials are hopeful that employers Of
motor drivers and the other experts
help required will contribute the SER
vice of the men, paying their salaries
while in Red Cross service.
The Red Cross will pay the trans
p~ortatiOn and living expenses Of the
men while abroad. 1t is the inten-
ton when the men are recruited to
give them intensive mechanical train
ing, some drill and if possible some
preliminary instruction in the French
language.

where to be Used by the Govern
ment for Public Information.

In common with all cities and
towns of this class, Mayor Bracken
has received from the Department
OF Four-minute Men," at Washington.

members being the secretaries of
state, of war and of the navy, and is IN
brief, as follows:
That with the patriotic consent of
the respective proprietors, a talk of
Just fOur minutes-no more, no less
be given in every moving-picture the
alter on some subject connected with
the war for which publicity is espec-
tally desired by the government
Each subject will be selected by the
government. through this Depart
ment of Four-minute Men," and will
be communicated to the local organi-
cation in each town or city with sug-
gestions as to its development and
application.
To this end Mayor Bracken was
asked to secure an organization in
Twin Falls, and to procure the CO.
operation of the theater proprietors
The latter was given readily and
gladly; the local committee was con-
stituted of Messrs A. L. Swim. l.. l.,
breckenridge and f. F. Bracken-the

The women of the future will dress
according to suitability to work. For
merly there was a certain shame when
wcmen admitted to the world that like
men they were bipeds, possessed Of
two legs. The German husband in a
recent novel condemns his wife be-
cause she showed nearly the whole
OF both her boots. 1t is easily re-
membered when women wore long
skirted bathing suits, in which swim
nnng was impossible. This feeling is
passing both in work and play, and
the damning fact of legs is admitted
without scruple.

SUMMER ADVERTISING

There are some business men who
get the notion that they won't adver-
tise much in summer because so many
people are out of town. AS a conse-
cuence, if business is so dull in their
stores that some one has to 90 around

A REAL MENACE

That the 1. w. w. disorders
throughout the northwest constitute a
real menace under existing circum-
stances grows more and more appar-
emf each day. Suspicious of actual
German financial backing will not
down, although as yet they have not
been patiently confirmed. But the two
following excerpts may at least be
taken seriously. coming as they do
from widely separated points of view.
The first is from the Herald" of
Everett, Washington paper directly
in the trouble zone; and the second
is from the New York Wall Street
Journal"-published far from actual
observation:
While l. w. w. disorders are most
marked in the West, the organization
back of them is highly centralized
with headquarters in Chicago, is di-
rected by shrewd men, and is a ma
tional problem. I. w. w. strikes are
not an end; they are only a mean
toward the organizations goal-the
embarrassment and breaking-dOwn Of
the present social system. Interstate
organization and the l. w. w. doctrine
of sabotage to gain its avowed end
make the problem one that. if the
country is not to be seriously crippled
in the midst of war, must be dealt
with by the federal government.
Treason is treason"
why wait until grain or elevators
be burned, mines flooded and destroy
ed. factories ~dismantled. or even these
utilities temporarily held up? The ma
ton is at war, and treason must be
met with preventive as we'll as punt
tive measures. When you hear the
copperhead kissing in the grass why
wait until it strikes before stamping
on it? Death might be the price of
delay. Copperheads, branded with the
Iron Cross, are filling the wheat
fields of the West. They are in the
copper mines and logging camps and
threaten to invade other fields. In
stead of waiting to see if their bite
is poisonous, the heel Of the govern
ment should stamp them at once. The
price of delay must be paid on the
fields of France"

Shepherd & Gluck Cotton Letter
(Received Over w. E. Campbell's Privat
 Wire)

(Rece1ved Over w. E. Campbell'S Private
 Wire)
 New Orleans, June 25.-Sellng, based on the rains over Sunday in Texas, put the price of cotton to lower levels to- day. The reaction was not altogether un- expected, nor was it unwelcome So far as we can see the chief results of the day were the strengthening of the technical position. Some little liquidation was accomplished on the long side and short offerings were in larger volume than usual of late. The rains were badly needed in Texas. and probably came too late in some sections. Much depends upon the weather of the next few days If there is a return to drouthy condi- tions not much gaiIi can be claimed for the growing crop, but more moisture would do world of good.
 It is difficult to say what effect the precipitation will have upon the pending COT diton report which carries the crop down to today. Some people think the return will be colored by the showers but others are inclined to the view that effect on the percentage of condition. Tomorrow is first notice day for July. Tenders are expected, but it is also ex- pected that they will be cared for Liv- erpool cables idicate that an attempt will be made to reopen that market Fri day on conditions to be stated thursday.
 At the lowest here today prices showed net decline of 95 to 105 points on the most active months. The close was at net loss of 95 to 100 points.

Ayery's Letter

The cotton market news today was the rains in Texas, which was bearish enough influence to cause decline of around s per bale.
 There was no other news of conse- uuence Liquidation, local professional selling and catching of stop orders were the gist of the ring gossip.
 There is a general belief among the New York professionals that the govern ment will not show a lower condition than last month despite several private reports which indicate a decline.
 On the other hand, the bulls seem se- cure in their position and claim good sized reduction in acreage and decline in the condition. The present rains in Texas will not figure in July condition report for the reason they have come too late.
 Personally. I believe we will see low condition report and reduction in acre. age somewhat larger than expected!
 As to the future course of the market, that all depends on what the bull crowd desire to do with it. Today's liquidation probably was influenced in measure by desire to even up over notice day tomorrow.

SHARP BREAK IN
 COTTON MARKET
Prices Close at a Net Loss of 72 to S1
 Points

New York, June 25.-Reports of bene- ficial rains in the southwest were followed by very sharp break in the cotton mar ket today. Trading was not particularly active and in spite of the big fluctua-
 tons there was no special excitement, but the Texas rain news evidently pro-
 noted realizing. while there were com
 paratively few buyers in evidence after the big advance of Saturday. October contracts sold off to 25S2c. making a de- cline of 21 points from Saturdays figures and of from $4.S0 per bale from Satur- days high record. Closing prices were at
 just aboutvthe low point of the day with the tone irregular at a net loss of P to S1 points.
 The market opened easy at a decline of 19 to 27 points on the southwest rain re- ports. There was buying around the in itial figures on private report making the condition of the crop 701 against FPS toward the end of May and huctulations were somewhat irregular during the morning. The detailed weather reports showing that the rainfall in Texas had not been as general as Indicated by earl fer advices were followed by a furry of covering around midday, but bulges of 14 or 15 points met increased offerings and the market became very weak during the afternoon There has been buying at tributed to trade interests on the early
 declines, as well as scattered covering, but
 sellers found very little support around
 the ring on the late break, which carried
 July off to 25, 94c and December to 25 96c
 or about v to S4 points net lower July was relatively easy during the morning in the expectation of notices tomorrow but closed at a premium of IA points over October. Exports. 21.483, making 5, ,191, 1885 so far this season.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. June 25.-Considerable bearish influence was exerted on the grain mar kets today by the likelihood that the food control bill would soon become a law. Wheat finished ? to cents lower, but steady, with July at S2.1 10 and September at $1.S5. Corn and oats were unchanged to AQssc down. Provisions closed irregu- lar, ranging from 25c decline to a rise of 21kQ5c.
 Broad authority which seemed virtually certain to regulate food distribution in perhaps less than a fortnight put bulls at an immediate disadvantage in the wheat trade It was taken for granted that the effect of the new law would be to prevent in the future any extraordi- nary soaring of prices. Largely as a re- suit, selling orders predominated and there was little disposition to buy. Welcome fains in the spring wheat region tended further to weaken values and so like wise did liberal world shipments. Besides there were increasing offers of new wheat from the winter crop harvest in the south west.
 In view of the outlook for prohibition of the use of corn for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages, declines in the price of corn were no surprise. Brisk de- mand, however, for corn to be shipped to the seaboard proved finally to be more than an offset, notwithstanding the break ing of the drouth in Oklahoma counted noticeably for time as weight on values.
 Oats temporarily felt to greater extent than any other grain the effect of the prohibition rider on the food control bill. huge amount of barley that would otherwise be used for brewing was ex- pected to come into competition with oats as feed. Nevertheless, the market rallied, a big falling off being reported in the domestic visible supply of oats

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June 25.-Heavy selling made it's appearance in cotton here today, bringing about reaction of about Ia cent pound. Offerings were based chiefly on the rains in Texas, although late in the session short selling appeared to be coming in on the expectation of unfavorable developments connected with the first notice day for July, which is tomorrow. Bullish traders, however, in- sisted that any tenders would be quickly taken up.
 Around the opening prices were 2S to 40 points down and by noon the decline was widened to F a cent pound. Lowest prices were reached toward the end of the day when the active months were 95 to 105 points lower than the final quota tions of last week. The close showed a net decline of 95 to 100 points. The market was only moderately active and little excitement attended the de- cline which, among many traders was looked upon as a natural reaction from the prolonged advances of late. Bullish traders did not offer the support ex- pected, and at times there was much liquidation from the long side
