SOMETHING BIG WILL
HAPPEN AT BREAKFAST
Members of the Committee Discuss
The Last Number on the. Program
Which will be Great.

A Georgia "Coon" in a house noted
for its "hants" could not be more SO
cretive and expressive in mien than
the members of the potato breakfast
committee are with reference to their
big banquet and program at the Rog
erson hotel this evening. "The
whole program is good but the last
number is a pippin,' said ore mem
Der, "but 1 can't tell you what it is"
"The whole is fine from start to fin
ish but you ought to see the humdinger
that we have fixed up for the last. =
said another. "There will be plenty OF
go from the kick off until the grand
finish, and, I tell you it is some fin
ish," eXlaimed a third. "1'd tell you
what the stunts are and what the last
number is, only l recall how some
journalists up at Washington leaked
information and l do not want this
splendid program Tomlawsonized,' -
declared a fourth. Nothing like Il
has ever been seen before west of tie
Mississippi river, in completeness ant
the fellows back in the effete east
western men to put things over, so /
guess it will be the best ever, and the
last number will be a wonder" said
the fifth man, which ended the at
tempted interviews. Enough was
gathered, however, to enable the re-
porter to assure the people that 70
wit, wisdom, eloquence and patriotism
what will be presented will be far and
away ahead of anything ever here
tofore seen in Idaho, and those who
have attended the previous, splendid
ly arranged potato breakfasts know
what that means.

WHOLE GRAIN DIET
NOT BEST FOR HENS
Mixed Ration Best for Digestion of
Poultry According to an Expert OH
Subject.

H. l.. Kempster, Missouri College
of Agriculture, in a recent bulletin,
said a hen laying 200 eggs in year
is not at all unusual, says Flour &c
Feed. A Alb hen laying this number
will produce six times her weight in
eggs. To do this she will require
from seventy to eighty lbs. of feed.
For economical production it is nee
essary % that the food be properly
selected, (2) that it be fed in correct
proportion and in a judicious man
ner in order that her digestive or
gans may be kept in good condition,
CD that she be fed enough so that
she has plenty of surplus for egg pro-
duction.
The problems of poultry feeding
require good judgment and keen OBJ
servation. Hens fed for egg produ-
ton should have foods high in the
food elements which are found in
eggs. Those fed in the fattening
pens should have the foods which
most economically produce fat. The
best ration, then, is the one which
supplies most economically he food
requirements of the bird for the pur-
pose for which it is kept.
1t should be remembered that one
of the principles of poultry feeding is
that the hen cannot do we'll if fed on
whole grain ration. Not only does
ration of grain fail to furnish the
proper food nutrients, but such ra-
tion is difficult for the bird to digest
properly. The great fault with the
farmer in his poultry feeding is thai
he attempts to feed a whole grain
and generally only one grain at that
Such a ration results in poor egg-pro-
duction and also causes digestive dis
orders and liver and kidney troubles
Complaints of this kind frequently
come to the department of poultry
husbandry. Efficient digestion de
mands a combination of whole anC
ground grains. A ration should con
sist of grains and ground feeds. Gen
orally speaking, twice as much grail
should be consumed as ground feed
This depends, of course, upon tn
nature of the foods fed. The import
ance of keeping grit and oyster shel
before the birds at all times canno
be overestimated and is especial,
important during the winter months

TWIN FALLS BOYS
CHASED BY RAIDER
German Ship Pursued Vessel For over
Thirty-two Hours Off the Brazilian
Coast But Failed To Catch Up.

In letter received this week from
Buenos Aires by Lynn Beauchamp
from Galen McMaster and Wilbur
Quigley, who recently left here for
South America, it is stated that the
vessel on which they were making
the trip was chased for thirty-two
hours by a German raider off the
coast of Brazil. The ship put in at
Bahia and shortly afterward started
south. The raider appeared after
they were well underway and pur-
sued them until they put in at Rio
de Janeiro, after which they saw
nothing of her.
Notwithstanding this adventure, H.
T. West, of Kimberly, has received
passports for a trip to Brazil and the
Argentine Republic, on which he Will
be gone about a year.

PROSPERITY UNEQUALLY ID S.
TRIBUTED SAYS NOTED WON
AN JOURNALIST
HUMANITARIAN PRINCIPLES BEST
FROM SELFISH POINT
Interesting Description of Better Spirit
Shown BY Capitalists Toward Labor
ing Men-Interyiewed on Price Of
Sugar at Production Point.

That the tendency among captains
of industry is TO recognize that it is
incorrect to assume that labor is sole
ly a commodity and that many of
them are taking steps to conserve the
health and best interests of en-
ployes, was the thought uppermost
in the lecture of Ida M. Tarbell at
the Lavering theatre Tuesday night.
The speaker was introduced by
Senator NJ. J. Sweeley, who spoke of
her great influence in the journalistic
world in behalf of the industrial up
lift of the masses There was
large audience present which listen
ed with deep attention and frequent
ly applauded.
Miss Tarbell began by pointing out
that the present great prosperity has
not been equally distributed and that
bread riots have resulted from this
fact. The conditions which result in
such manifestations are unjust and
should be remedied, according to
Miss Tarbell, who declared that they
had no place in an industrial demo-
cracy such as all hoped would be
completely established.
The old idea now happily being
discarded was that capital and labor
were necessarily antagonistic and
that it was impossible for them to CO.
operate, owing to this fundamental
antagonism. 1t was said that hu-
manitarian principles had no place in
business, and that labor was a COM
modify pure and simple, which was
bought as cheaply as possible and
used as any other commodity. This
was proven a mistake by facts and
experience. The labor of man is part
of himself. In order, even from a
selfish point of view, to get the best
results, unselfishness must be prac-
ticed. The laws governing humanity
must be studied. These laws will
show that the business is best con-
Quoted and most profitable that is OPP
Grated by healthy and happy human
beings.
Formerly, while the old idea of the
nature of human labor prevailed,
there was no effort made in factories
to care for the we'll being of en-
ployes. No effort was made to Sc
cure sanitation, ventilation or pure
drinking water.
From this unfortunate condition
the most enterprising business men
are everywhere awakening. man
ager of a great factory had shown
the speaker through his vast factory
where air was washed before being
breathed, where a rest room and al
modern means of comfort were free
ly supplied to the workmen. He
replied that he was doing something
far more important; he waas plan
ming a place in which 5000 mel
must live and lin order that they b'
efficient they must be contented anC
satisfied with the work. The direc
tors were level headed business mel
interested only in profits, but the.
finally yielded The plan proved
successful even from the narrow fin
ancial point of view.
This in the opinion of the speaker
was the spirit which moved moderl

LUCAS ENABLING ACT
HAS ITS TEETH DRAWN
Unless All Signs Fail 1t VIII Meet
its Doom Through Elemental Sena-
torial Strategy.

BOISE, March 6-Quite a furor
seems to have been aroused in some
interested localities over the passage
in the house on Monday of the Lucas
enabling act-designed especially to
aid in the secession of Buhl county.
The facts are that the bill was pass
ell simply to placate the author, who
was filibustering against other legis-
lation; and that, on Tuesday, the
house also passed the Peckham enabl-
ing act, a very different and quite
harmless measure, which 1t was
planned to bring before the senate
in advance and to the exclusion of,
the Lucas bill.

TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT
GRADUALLY WINNING
A Million Dollars Raised By Sale Of
Red Cross Stamps Consumption is
Durable.
UNITED Press)


NEW YORK, March THE Nation
al tuberculosis association announc-
ed today that the holiday sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals had raised ST.
100000 for the tuberculosis campaign.
without the cooperation of the
newspapers these tremendous results
from the Red Cross seal sale would
have been impossible" said Dr. Chas-
]. Hatfield.
The association is proud of the fact
that the slogan of the campaign, "one
seal for every inhabitant of the Uni
ted States" has been realized. The
sale last fall amounts to a voluntary
tax of one cent for each man, woman
and child in the country, except the
insular possessions.
Seals were sold in every state and
territory of the United States except
Guam, Tahiti and Samoa. Counting
the school children who sold seals
numbering approximately 100000, the
total number of agents approaches
100000. This includes school teach
ers, merchants, store keepers pro-
fessional men.
The association says the little
Christmas tokens have been respon-
sible, not only for the control of tu-
berculosis, but also for tremendous
advances in the whole field of public
health work.
Open windows the whole year are
today the rule rather than the excep-
ton. tuberculosis is today generally
recognized as durable and prevent
able, while ten years ago a vast num-
Der of people still held to the theory
that it was inherited, incurable and
unpreventable.

LAREDO, Texas, March 8-Germany
is playing Villa against Carranza, ac-
ording to Webb Miller, United Press
staff correspondent, who has just re-
turned from the interior of Mexico
Mr.. Miller says that great sums of
German money have reached the
bandit chieftian, who is bein melted
against the United States and Car
rama, while at the same time a sys-
tematic effort is being made to align
the Carranzistas against the United
States. Two Germans met Villa at
the BustillO ranch, February IL and
entered into an agreement with him
to send unattached bands to operate
against different border points, max
ing sporadic forays. The agents also
promised Villa quarter of a million
dollars in gold. The bandit leader re-
fused to enter the plot until the first
payment had been made. Large
monthly installments were agreed up
on to enable Villa to equip his army
The plan is to be used chiefly in the
event that the effort to induce Car
rama to intrigue against the United
States shall fail. The arming and
equipping of Villa it is thought may
operate as a pressure on Carranza. i
has been hoped by the German agents
to involve Carranza with the United
States now that complications neces
state the retention of an American
army on the border. In the meantime
the Caranza cabal at Mexico City il
working in an underground way to in
duce the Carranza government to con
sent to an alliance.

WASHINGTON, March S-The clot-
ure fight began in the senate today
when Senator Martin introduced a res
olution asking for immediate consider
alton of a measure to limit debate.
Republicans as well as Democrats are
generally lined up for the measure
which provides that two-thirds of the
senate may force vote on a pending
measure.
Owing to the illness of President
Wilson, who is confined to his room
from a cold, no announcement was
made today regarding the arming of
merchant ships. The evidence is in
creasing that Secretary Daniels will
soon be given orders to arm them.
High officials state that legal advisers
of the administration assured the
president that he has the right and
power to take this action. However
it is believed by many that he will
call an extra session of congress i'm
mediately and have the arming bill
again introduced.
Senator Norris in a speech today
hotly defended the obstructionists
"If my action is treason make the
most of it, I have no apologies tc
make" he said. He then declared
himself in favor of cloture.

Western Union Will Abandon Old
lime

The West Grove Independent re-
ports that finding it necessary to
change their lines where the poles
were in the way of Route 131 be-
tween Jennersville and Oxford, the
Western Union Telegraph Company
has decided instead to remove it
entirely, with the result that the
entire line between West Chester
and Aiken, Cecil county, Md, will
be removed.
This line runs through Unionville,
Londongrove, Jennersville and
south, while other lines run almost
parallel until the line to be removed
is now practically unused.
The present line was rebuilt about
fifteen years ago, and the material is
still in many places, being sold cheap
and made into wire fence. Whether
the line now to be removed will be
disposed of in this same manner re-
mains to be seen.
