UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-"If Walter
Johnson is on the market I want him
and money would be no object in
getting him.
That is what Col. Jacob Rupert,
president of the Yankees, had to say
today regarding the report that the
Washington club is about to knock
down its star pitcher to the highest
bidder. Rupert denied however, hav-
ing any first hand knowledge Of the
rumor.
One phase of the rumor that persist
ed was that Charles Comiskey has al
ready started negotiations for Johnson
in an effort to insure the pennant for
the White Sox. Comiskey could not
be reached but Harry Gardiner, secre-
tary of the club, refused to discuss the
matter.

Riots With Possible Lynehin9s Are

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, PSI
in northern Iowa between proNGer-
mans and loyal German Americans
are expected at any time by federal
officials who returned from a several
weeks trip through fourteen counties
Of northern Iowa. The loyal citi-
zens have lost their patience with the
Germans who insist on maxim
reasonable utterances. Lynchings
of "kaiseritss" have been foiled by
the federal operatives at several
points, it, was learned.
e. r. Moore, United States marsha
for northern Iowa, and his deputies
returned from the trip today. They
said that in many of the villages the
pro-Germans have boycotted the store
keepers who have been urging loyal
ty to the stars and stripes.
At Hubbard, last week, the federal
agents arrived in time to save Will
liam Schwartz from beng lynched.
He had been flaying the government
and boosting the kaiser when crowd
of loyal citizens took him in hard.
He was badly beaten.
Lutheran ministers were put on
! the carpet" at several points by
| Moore and his staff. They were
warned to preach the gospel of God
! and let the kaiser take care Of him
self in Germany. Considerable evil
dence has been gathered and it was
intimated that several German minis
! tiers would be indicted by the federal
grand iuries meeting in October. The
/ iuries also are expected to return
indictments against a score of per
sons who are under bond for "sedi

Tho Hoover Cards.

Some women when asked to sign
the Hoover pledge cards still ques-
ton whether or not they can carry
out the Hoover rules Of economy,
which incorporate the policy of food
conservation. These rules were pub
lished in Saturdays issue of The
Gate City. There is nothing iron
clad in the following of these rules,
as the pledge card says they are to
be observed insofar as the signer
is able.
The spirit of the whole thing is
that the women shall try to save the
wheat and meat supplies, that they
shall save on fats and use substitutes
for butter in cooking and that they
shall eliminate all waste.

SHOULD RAISE SEED SPUDS
Advice of Expert at Seed Growers
Meeting at County Seat.

CoEUR D'ALENE. Idaho, Jan. "a
The Kootenai County Pure Seed
Growers association met today at the
call of o. d. Center, state seed in
spector of Idaho. A good attendance
of farmers listened to ao address by
A. J Snyder of Springfield. Idaho.
He urged the need of the farmer
specializing on pure seed only, which
will not only increase the yield, but
will tend to provide for better mar
ket and consequently better price for
the article sold. The state of Idaho
has proven splendid ground To raise
pure seed.
In order to induce this section 10
join the state seed growers asSocia-
ton Mr.. Snyder offered The wee
presidency Of the association TO the
Kootenai county people. G. b. Mccall,
who heads the Kootenai association,
was elected to this office.
T.. r. Bennett, field horticulturist
OF the University of Idaho, addressed
the farmers, urging that they raise
seed potatoes. He pointed out that
the demand of Washington. Oregon,
Wyoming and southern Idaho would
furnish an unlimited market for pure
seed potatoes.
