that late or succession crops must be
planted as soon as the earlier plants

COUNTY OFFICERS
REGISTER AT ONCE
SHERIFFS GET INSTRUCTIONS TO
BE READY FOR QUICK
WORK

From Boise comes the information
that Secretary of War Baker has sent
Governor Alexander tentative plans
for the registering of all men subject
to draft into the army under the terms
of the law to be enacted in Wash
ington this week.
This plan of registration was turned
over by the governor to the sheriffs
of the various counties. The details
are kept secret and Sheriff Campbell
refused to discuss the matter in any
particular, although it became known
that he had received instructions.
1t is taken for granted that the war
intends to make use of the
civil peace officers in the counties to
register the men who come within the
terms of the army bill

Reason for the "Feeler

For over a month rumors of another
peace "feeler" by the German chan
cellor have circulated in Europe. The
recent conference between the Aus
trian emperor and the German kaiser
is the basis for reports that Austria
is demanding new peace offer.
Recently it has been persistently
rumored that the German economic
situation was forcing the government
to make peace offers to regain public
support at home.
No Comment Here
WASHINGTON-Th state depart
ment withheld all comment regarding
the forthcoming Won Bethmann Holl-
veg peace offer. Some thought the ar-
pointment of the Swiss minister, Rit-
ter, with President Wilson was signlf-
icant Ritter represents Germany at
Washington.
IT is known that if Germany is mere
ly making a politically strategic move,
or starting a propaganda intended to
influence the neutrals, the effort will
fail.

how the eyes on potato are more

request, is pairing off the potato tips.
They are being distributed to back
