creaSeS
HOOVER INFORMS
THE COUNTRY
France Is to Receive 100000
Tons of Sugar
Soon

Washington, ID. c., Oct. l6.-Psychol-
ogy is aiding scarcity to maintain high
food prices and the outlook for cheaper
foods, even with production and distri-
button improving all the time, is not en-
couraging. The seriousness of the food
situation facing housewives this winter
was brought home yesterday with telling
effect by the food administration with its
announcement that within a few days the
French government will be allowed for
export from the United States 100000
tons of sugar to meet the urgent demand
on the other side of the Atlantic. This
allowance is to be made i'm the face of
the fact that only enough sugar for nor
NAL domestic demands is available in
this country. The hole thus made in the
domestic supply must be filled by fur
Their local sacrifices. although they may
not partake of the character of hardship.
The allies and the men in the trenches
are looking to Washington for food sup.
plies. Food Administrator Hoover is
concerned over feeding the fighting forces
| abroad. He fears the psychology of a
| food famine in England or France. This
situation leaves little consolation for the
housewife to hope for reduction in prices
of foodstuffs. What the woman who has
TO fill the table may hope for is that
prices will be held down to the present
range. The sugar situation tells the
story. The French people are on ra
ton of sugar at the rate of less than one |
ounce a day person. In the United |
States the ration is four ounces a day |
person.
Our own situation is that we have
just sufficient sugar to maintain our nor
nal consumption until the first of Jan
uary, when the new West Indian crop
becomes available to ALL says an official
statement from the food administration.
To be able to supply fighting France
with the 100000 tons asked for. Mr.
Hoover calls upon the people of this
country to conserve their sugar aud di-
vide with the allies. That the feeding
of the allies is the uppermost thing in
the mind of the food administrator is
admitted by the men who are on the job
here trying TO conserve food and educate
the people to realize this is war and that
sacrifices must be made by all
MIR. Hoover fears" said one Of his
aids, that if a doubt of his ability to
keep sufficient supply of foodstutfs on
hand in either England or France should
reach the minds of the people a mental
panic would result which would be of
more benefit to Germany than any other
thing that could happen. His first bur
den is always the men in the fighting
ranks" This same food aide pointed out
that production must be stimulated, and
this operation does not work to food
price reduction.
Increased production cannot be OBJ
tained through decreased prices" went
on this man. "The American people
should not ask more Of Mr.. Hoover than
hat he stabilize conditions by the elm
nation of speculation and that the con
sumner receive his article in sh-and.

addition to its price as possible from the
line it leaves the producer"

AN-U-RIC, the newest discovery OF
DR.. Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'

backache, stiff legs, arms and muscles,
and an aching head worn out before

from Doctor Pierce's Anuric Tablets,

and rheumatism, if you've never used
the Anuric, send ten cents to DIR. Pierce

prove to you that Anuric is many times
more active than lithia in eliminating
uric acid. If you are a sufferer, go to
your best druggist and ask for a small
bottle of Anuric.

HOTEL FIRES.

The latest hotel fire horror will make travellers
easy as they go to rest in their sky bedrooms The r
teen or more people who lost their lives in such fire
at Minneapolis exposed to greater risks than are
taken every night in thousands Of inns The same thing
with even more fatal results may in almost any
city.
American hotels are careless On the fire question.
The majority not well provided with fire escapes
Otter the fire stairs connected only with sleeping
rooms instead Of corridors. In Of fire the guests
would net know where to find them perhaps could not
ret to the escape through a locked door.
Various devices for escape from the windows OIL
ropes are used In case Of fire people could be
sed that they could not make intelligent of them
would take circus performer to get out safely on the
dinary plain rope that is placed in many rooms
The only secure protection is we'll constructed sys-
TEN of fire escapes reaching corridors in each section o.
every foor we'll marked by red lights.
Many cid fashioned people would never lodge at g
hotel in a room above the third floor. If they couldn't
get room at that level they would go elsewhere. Now
adays people less cautions and they trust themselves
wholly to the hotel people. But in the smaller hotels
particularly there may be competent watchman. The
who is supposed to keep awake may spend most Of
the night snoring couch
If hotel can't afford adequate protection, it should
not be permitted to let high floors It is wise
business policy however to provide good fire equipment
1t gives such impression Of security and horoughness
that it is splendid advertisement Of the business.

HOW BUSINESS GROWS.

Many merchants complain about poor business, and
then thev never set aside dollar in the effort to get
more business In this they act against every recognized
principle of success.
All the big enterprises set aside large sum for their
sales and advertising departments 1t is the work of
these departments to make friends. 1t is recognized
that firms regular customers are constantly dropping
out due to DEATH removal competition of rivals etc IN
less constant effort is made to attract friends
ones business likely fall off instead of increase
No retail business can grow unless it acts on this
principle New friends and patrons must constantly be
secured They are not likely to haphazard They
go to the people who solicit them If distant mail order
houses and outside cities solicit them by advertising,
while the home merchant doesn't, they will go to the
place that seeks their trade that place seems to them
the most wide awake and enterprising

THE SHORTAGE OF FERTILIZER.

big share of our farm products will go next sum-
mer to feed the armies and hungry people Of Europe The
Of living has been forced to almost intoerabe
height by this drain our resources. And comes
new threat in the likelihood that fertilizers are going
be scaer and higher than this year, thus reduc
ing the productivity Of the soils.
The farmer may think that if farm products fall off
at least they will be higher in price that he will get
larger figure for them with less labor cf harvesting But
the country as whole will suffer- and the consumer will
be closer up against the wall and less able in future years
to buy commodities. All Of which will hurt the farmer
However, there is question but that every food
producer will do his best to raise good crop He real
ICES that at the high prices that will prevail is golden
chance.
1t may merely be suggested following the warnings
of the farm bureaus that farmers order their fertilizers
early, to avoid getting stranded owing the short
age of freight Fertilizers will do the farmer little
good if they have to stand in freight station and
house for weeks after they should be in the ground
Also the farmers are urged to conserve every ounce
of stable Many farmer after sitting around
the grocery store complaining about his failure make
money allows to stand that it's vital elements
leach into the ground and exposed to sun and wind

Palace Theatre Thursday Night.

"The Worlds Great Snare
Around the life of the Western god
miner there has ever been cast ro-
mantle halo. This breath of romance
mas been breathed into the thrilling
novel, "The Worlds Great Snare by
E. Phillips Oppenheim and has beer
flashed into living fire on the screen
by the Famous Players Film Company
in its adaptation of the celebrated
rovel in which beautiful Pauline
Frederick is starred. 1t is the fea-
tured Paramount attraction at the
Palace Theatre Thursday night.
From beginning to end, the drama
is one quick suggestion of gripping
situations in which Pauline Freder-
i:k is superb. In support of the star
there appear several popular play
ers, among them Irving Cummings
Ferdinand Tidmarsh, Frank Evans
Riley Hatch and Buckley Starkey.
The picture marks the first pro-
duction of Joseph Kaufman since
Joining the Famous Players.

AT L. & S. Theatre Thursday.

It is generally conceded that Roi
Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett's
farce, at Pays to Advertise" which
comes to the L. & S. Theatre tomor-
row, is one of the best comedies seen
in many seasons.
at Pays to Advertise" presents the
very essence of American spirit
American humor and American char
acter. If you saw the piece translated
into French, German or any other Ian
guage, there would be no mistaking
is original, and certainly no more
side-splitting farce has been concocted
here. AS a matter of fact, 1T Pays
to Advertise" is one Of those plays
that provoke real notwithstanding
mirth--the sort that makes you throw
your head back until j. rests on your
chair and laugh to your hearts con-
tent.
Yes, there is no doubt about it
at Pays to Advertise" is rarely
amusing, well written and well acted
play and, like all the best pieces of
its kind, it is founded on an original
idea, which we will not here disclose
for fear Of spelling the enjoyment CT
prospective patrons.

About Noah

A pompus orator of the old school
you know the kind one of those
boys who ~yocally wave the flag of
freedom until some of the stars are
shaken loose-got up to speak in a
little town back in Ohio. Part of his
discourse was devoted to praise of
Daniel Webster, that other great
orator.
The rural Bill Bryan frequently
skidded from the roadway Of fact.
On one occasion he said: Daniel
Webster's wonderful command of the
English language. his unfailing grasp
of words. came from his tremendous
knowledge of the dictionary, of which
he was the author"
A well-meaning friend whispered
to the speaker: Say Bill, Daniel
Webster didn't write the dictionary;
II was Noah ="
Bill surveyed the other with scorn
and answered authoritatiyly and loud
1y: Noah the dickens; Noah built the
ark!"-Eyerybody's Magazine.

Riches

And vet If il cost me what some
people pay,

couldn't.
There's too much worth while hat
is lost by the way.
To sacrifice friends and ideals TO
surrender
NV heart and my conscience, my
soul and my mind
And sell all my dreams for a dollar

Would leave me too poor for the
riches Id find.
~
I'd like to be rich, there is pleasure
in money
IT'S good stuff to have, and it's
good stuff to spend,
II helps you to pay for your milk and
your honey,
And gives YOU a chance TO be nice
TO a friend.
I'd like to be rich, but Id never be
willing
To pay such a price as some men

The cost is too high and the pace too
killing,
And too many things must be
bartered and sold.
