Worn down and driven back by

ALL REGISTERED MEN
ARE ORDERED EXAMINED

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The ques-
ton of the second draft is before
the war board and is receiving con-
siderable consideration and has gone
so far that even the date is under
discussion and may be fixed at some
time before Christmas.
This does not mean that the men
called on the second draft will be
called to leave their homes at that
time, but will begin to mobilize
about March or April.
In the meantime announcement
has been made that the 100000
registered men not called in the first
draft will be ordered for examina-
ton Immediately.
Men now in the training camps
will be moved to France as rapidly as
transportation can be had, and men
now in mobilization camps will take
their places. 1t is expected that soon
the great movement will begin-men
on the front, men on the way across
the water, men on the way to the
training camps and men being mo-
biliZed.

STAPLE FOODS TO BE
PLACED UNDER CONTROL
President Will Soon Order Manufac-
turers and Distributors to Operate
Under License System to Prevent
Abuses.

WASHINGTON - Practically all
the staple foods consumed by the
American people will be put under
government control November 1.
The food administration announc-
ed Tuesday night that within few
days President Wilson will issue an
executive order requiring that manu-
facturers and distributors of some 20
fundamental foods operate under Ii
cense restrictions designed to pre-
vent unreasonable profits and to stop
speculation and boarding.
Regulations will be prescribed for
meat packers, cold storage houses,
millers, Gamers, elevators, grain
dealers and wholesale dealers and
retailers doing business of more
than 100000 annually in the COM
modities to be named.
"The prime purpose of the food
administration" the announcement
said, lis to protect the patriot
against the Stacker in business. 1t
has generally been recognized that
the enormous obligation imposed on
the American people to feed our
soldiers at the front and the allies
creates disturbing factor in trade
which allows opportunity to few
to impose burdens upon the many
and that it is of vital national i'm
portance that such control should
be exerted as will remedy, so far
as may be, the economic disturbances

THIRD PRIZE STORY
Man i'm Alberta Tells How to De-
yelOp Good Newspaper in
Bingham County
(By w. d. Trego)

lby w. u. 1TeSOJ
Since reading, Forty Reasons"
and thinking the matter over care
fully I visa to recommend:
That as Bingham county is CON-
posed mostly of farmers and as the
prices of farm products have more
than doubled during the past three
years while the expense of produc-
ton has not increased in as large
a proportion, but as the expense OF
the materials which go into max
ing up the cost of newspaper have
doubled, it would seem only fair to
recommend that the price of the
paper be doubled, especially In view
of the fact that it is now supplying
/, the news semi-weeRly.
That since the people of Bingham
county have been clamoring for a
daily paper for some years past that
The Idaho Republican continue to
improve it's equipment and staff un-
til it is able to publish tri-weekly
and that when it is able to do that
to make proper increase in its sub
scription price to cover the increased
cost of production.
To then continue to improve its
staff and equipment until it is able
to develop a daily and at that time
to publish the assocjaed press dis
patches.
That the paper continue to give
just as much attention to solving
problems of agriculture as the in
come of the office will justify and if
the farmers want rapid increase in
the service that they help by increas-
| ing the circulation.
That the paper continue its policy
in politics especially, and to continue
to be as ready to acknowledge mis-
take by the publisher as to point out
the mistakes or shortcomings of
others.
The thing most needed to improve
our citizenship is to rise to a high
enough plane to be able to acknow-
ledge our mistakes and short-com-
ings.
Let us have a paper which is big
enough to set the example and when
| it makes a mistake and wrongs an
opponent that it acknowledge the
mistake in the next issue after the
mistake is discovered.
If the people want such paper
let them not only show their appre-'
citation by patronizing it, but by fol-
lowing the example set by it in their
personal affairs and in that manner
not only become better citizens them
selves, but help their neighbors to
become better citizens and in that
way do their part to build up a bet
| ter community.

AMERICAN BUSINESS
TO help WIN WAR

WASHINGTON, D. ca general
call on American business to form
war service committees in every
branch of industry to cooperate
with the government was made today
by the chamber of commerce OF the
United States. The committees will
absorb the functions of the industries
committees of the council of ma
tional defense, which will be abol-
ished under reorganization plan.
The war service committees will
deal directly with the defense coun-
ellis war industry board now negoti-
ating government war purchases.
They will assist in apportioning gov
eminent orders and will aid in de-
termining priority matters. The de-
Tense councils industries committees
in most instances are expected to be
retained as the war service commit
tees and the only change will be that
members no longer will be connected
in any way with the government.
The defense councils committee
system has given cause for criticism
in that committee members, acting
as government advisers in making
purchases, were often themselves
sellers. Under the new arrangement
the new war service committeeman
will be representing only industries.
The duties of the committees are
outlined by the chamber of COM
MERGE as follows:
To assemble accurate information
with respect to the facilities of in
dustry and the possibilities of ex-
pansion or reimbursement of plants
and equipment to meet government
requirements.
To arrange for the gathering of
figures as to costs of production in
industry.
To act with the priority committee
of the war industries board, which
is establishing principles governing
the distribution of materials in
transportation and the order in
which various products are to be pro-
duced and distributed.
To meet with government repre-
sentatives to discuss questions affect
ing industry raised by the war.
The governments purchase of war
supplies, it is declared, is with
drawing so much material and labor
from established industry that many
problems are arising which can be
met only by serious study.
"The extent of the demand which
the government is making on the in
dustrial resources of the country is
Indicated" the statement says, "by
recent estimates that expenditure for
the first year of the war including
loans to the allies, will amount to
$21, 900, 100000, compared with es-
Inmates of the gross value of all
business done in the United States
in 1915, ranging from forty to eighty
billions"

POPULAR BREEDS OF SHEEP

Sheep die easily sometimes, especial
ly so for the man who is inexperienced

larger the breed the less hardihood
they exhibit. Internal parasites kill
more sheep than all other causes CON-

ARE YOUR HOGS PROFITABLE7
Pregnant Brood Sows Do Well on
Glover or Alfalfa Forage and Ear
or Two Of Corn Daily.

Clover was worth over $100 per acre
in replacing corn in the hog ration in
one test conducted at the Ohio expert
ment station, when corn was valued at
$1.68 per bushel. Other forage crops
proved almost as valuable. Are you
cheapening pork production by the use
of such crops? There is no cheaper
feed up to a certain point. Pregnant
brood SOW will do well on clover or
alfalfa forage and an ear or two of
corn daily. Young pigs and shotes
must have more grain, of course, but
they relish someeforage. Fence off
part of that clover or alfalfa field and
give the hogs a chance at it If you have
not already done so.
