Second Draft Next Spring

Washington-A full statistical re-
port on the operations of the draft
law will be prepared by the provost
marshal generals Office as soon as
the mobilization of the first incre-
ment of 6S7 900 men of the nation
al army has been completed, some
time early in October.
Pending the preparation of the
report, no steps toward calling a
second increment to the colors will
be taken. General Crowder said
that the call for the second incre-
ment never had been considered at
any conference at which he was
present and he had no indication
that it had been taken up in any
way by President Wilson or Secre-
tary Baker.
The first increment will fill all
the training areaS-16 national
guard camps and 16 national army
cantonments-to capacity and there
will be a surplus Of men beside
those assigned to the regular army.
The regulars are now $4,000 above
full war strength by voluntary en-
listment and the national guard is
in similar situation.
Training facilities already are
taxed to make ready for the men
now available and it is regarded as
unlikely that organization of an
additional 100000 men of the ma.
tional army can be begun until the
early spring of 1918.

Submarines in 1910

Since the submarine subject is

skin which were filled with air.
These kept it afloat. When the

The Largest Check

Washington-The largest check
ever issued in the world has been
returned to the United States treas
ury, paid and cancelled. The
check for two hundred million
dollars was signed by Secretary of
the Treasury William G. McAdoo,
and represented the first payment
on the loan of the United States to
Great Britain.
Other large checks which have
been signed by Secretary McAdoo
within the last six months are one
for $lOO, 900, 900 to France and one
for 500. .OOO, 900 to Italy. Numer-
GUS other smaller checks ranging
from $1.0OO.OOO to $4,000, 900
have been signed as loans to our
allies.
Previous to January, 1917, the
largest check that had ever been
signed by secretary of the treas
ury of the United States was one
for $40, 900. 900 in payment for the
rights of the French Canal company
for the privilege of constructing
the Panama canal. The next larg.
est check was for $25.0O0,O00 ir

Keep Beans Clean

Bean harvesting will soon start
and a point that the local dealers
are very anxious for the farmers to
bear in mind is that the beans
should be handled carefully so as to
keep them as free from dirt as
possible. When clods are thrown
into the bean stacks and then run
through the thresher and into the
sacks the beans become dirty and
have a dingy color that Injuries
them on the market.
The local dealers here are doing
everything in their power to get
the Potlatch beans on a par with
the best beans on the market but
the greatest difficulty has been in
the fact that the Potlatch beans in
many cases have been dirty. Run
ming them through the cleaner
several times will not remove the
coating of dust that accumulates
upon them so that the warehouse
men are helpless in the matter un.
less they receive the cooperation
of the bean raisers.
When loading the beans from The
field into the wagon little extra
work will eliminate most Of thu
dirt. By shaking the clods from
a fork full of bean vines befor,
throwing it into the wagen yo,
will have better quality of bean
to put on the market and will b.
doing your bit toward getting
better price for the Potlatch beans

Want $3.50 For Wheat

Farmers of Washington, Idaho
and Oregon, representing SO to Is
per cent of the total wheat tonnage
of the three states, went on record
in Spokane Tuesday for $3.50 wheat
as minimum price to the farmer
at the primary market for the 1917
crop. This decision was reached at
a meeting of the farmers union,
held at the Coeur d'Alene hotel,
after lively discussion in which
most of the 125 farmers present
participated.
Farmers call attention to the fact
that price of $2.56 for wheat will
not necessarily affect the price of
-four to the consumer, as the pres
ent rate of $3.50 per barrel is
based, they say, on $3.50 wheat.
A. V. Swift, Baker, Ore, vice
president of the national farmers
union, was chairman in the absence
of Riley Rice, president of the
Washington state farmers union.
J. E. Mansfield of Endicott said
that wheat at So means SIS per
capita per year for wheat for every
man, woman and child in the United
States, or a cents day for -four.
He declared he could feed So wheat
to hogs when they were worth $16.-
25 per hundred pounds and break
even, while he might lose money on
Scent hogs with wheat at 81. He
declared he had seen instances
where the grocer got bigger pro
fit from a barrel of -four than the
farmer got from an acre of wheat.
City folk spend more each day
on either cigarettes or moving pic
lures than on bread, according tt
several farmers yesterday, and arr
not consistent in their protest a
!. gainst high wheat prices increasing
the high cost of living.

Feed Cows Legume Hay

Keep all your good dairy cows.
The country needs them and they
can be kept at profit. The pres
ent high price Of grain has en-
couraged practical feeders to look
for cheaper feeds. They have
found that legume hay and corn
silage can be substituted in part
for expensive concentrates.
In cooperation with the extension
department of Purdue University
the United States Department of
Agriculture last year made an in
vestigation of the cost of producing
milk in 16 dairy herds in Porter
County, Ind. In that study it was
found. that when other conditions
were the same the daifymen who
fed the largest quantity of clover,
alfalfa, and other legumes HAYS used
38 per cent less grain without
lessening the production of their
cows. That is, the dairymen who
fed legume hay obtained as much
milk from 62 pounds of grain az
the others obtained from loo
pounds of grain.
Such saving is worth while
Patriotism demands increased pro
duction; the high cost Of living de
mands economical production; botl
those demands are met when al
our good cows are kept, and whel
their milk flow is maintained a
low cost.

Instruct Local Grain Dealers

The local warehouses received in
structions from the United States
Food Administration this week, rela-
tive to the method of handling,
storing and buying grain. Each
week a report has to be sent to the
Department which covers the entire
weeks business, showing the a.
mount of grain in the warehouse or
elevator, the amount shipped out,
amount received during the week,
range of prices paid and other mat
ers of detail.
The department suggests that
elevators issuing storage tickets or
warehouse receipts should add in
addition to other customary pro-
visions of such, the following 1T
is agreed that if the grain repre-
sented by this receipt shall remain
in storage beyond thirty DAYS
after date hereof, the undersigned
warehouseman is authorized to sell
the same or ship the same to the
nearest terminal market for sale
for the best price obtainable, and
shall pay over the proceeds to the
holder of this receipt, less lawful
storage and other charges.
The United States Food Admins
tration has been divided into twelve
zones or territories for convenience
and expedience of handling reports
A government agent in the rentra
city of each zone has control of th'
grain in each zone. Idaho, Oregon
and Washington are in zone 10.
