through the simple expedient of mill
ing. the whole of the wheat instead of
using selected portions Of the kernel

er. Bread made from 1t may not be
as pretty as the other, but it will pro-
duce more punch. Today we are util-
izing only about 70 per cent of the
food content Of our wheat, and we are
clamoring for the farmers to plant
more wheat. Suppose we shift the
loud pedal to the milling end of the
problem. Suppose our Touring estab-
lishments begin to use the whole OF
the wheat and increase the output Of
flour by more than third.

THE DRAFT.
(Goldfield Tribune)

I
One of the most pernicious of all
doctrines preached out of Washing
ton this. year is that there is a dis
grace In the so called draft. Even
Speaker Clark felt impelled to give
out such mistaken ideas. Is It a dis
grace when a man is called upon to
pay his taxes, to serve on juries, or
10 DO or to perform other public du-
ties? 1t Is not a disgrace to be called
upon TO- defend nation in peril In
stead 1t is an honor, and the only
disgrace would consist in treating such
a duty as a disgrace. Men are con-
tinually being drafted for this or that
public duty. If a. thousand names are
placed in box and the one hundred
drawn first are called upon to do GER
tain things in the name of their gov
eminent, the men SO called should not
feel disgraced. but honored. There
may he some men who would resent
being drawn, but they thereby prove
that they are the very men that ought
to be drafted. 1t is not the willing
ones who ought to be compelled to
render all the services that a nation
may 'require. Often the unwilling ones
should be compelled to do their share,
since they are living and expect to
live In their share Of the benefits.

A QUESTIONABLE COMPLIMENT
Moscow Star Mirror

| Moscow Star Mirror)
Jmes H. Gipson pays Senator Borah
a poor compliment, in launching a
movement to compel him to change
his mind and remain in the senate. He
proposes to have 1000 or 5000 promin-
ent republicans file Borah's nomina-
ton when his present term expires
with the intention of coercing him in
to remaining in the senate.
Gipson was state chairman Of the
progressive committee in Idaho when
that organization was a factor In the
last campaign he organized the
Hughes League. The fact that the
progressive party went out of exist
ence altogether under his generalship
while the Hughes league contributed
to President Wilson's $1,000 plurality
in the state. does not set Jimmy up
as an astute and far-seeing politician.
His present move if it had any eff
feet at all, would tend to cast suspi-
cion on Senator Borah's sincerity in
announcing his determination to re-
tire from office. His real friends will
give him full credit for reaching his
decision after mature elaboration and
will full realization of all it's conse-
quences. To argue otherwise would
be to argue that Senator Borah an
nounced his decision as feeler-as a
move to gain notoriety and start just
such movement as Gipson has start
ed.
lis is grossly unjust to the senator
He knows that if he wished to remain
In the United States senate as the
of Idaho all he would
have to do would be to say so. He
would be nominated, not by Jimmy
Gipson's 1000 or 5000; but by a very
large majority of the voters of the
state, irrespective of party politics.

AMERICA AND THE SUBMARINES
Duluth News Tribune)

The marvels of science go on from
miracle to miracle. In mobilzing the
many agencies of war the Bell Tele-
phone company was called upon for a
test of its Preparedness.
AS demonstration of its perfection
In equipment and readiness, MESA ges
were sent first from Washington and
then from the western coast to the At
lantic seaboard by wire and a,itomat-
ically transmitted by wireless to a
battleship 100 miles at sea.
The reverse was equally successful
Such a feat staggers Imagination. The
delicacy of such mechanism and its
powers are quite inconceivable to the
layman.
That the human voice should be
carried across the continent is no
longer a novelty, but that it should
then be caught by transmitter and
hurled hundred miles out to sea
through the air is like trying to think
in the infinite.
The inventive genius that makes
this fact will not long be baffled to
meet the submarine. No problem is
and American science will
yet clear the seas of this greatest of
modern criminal agencies.

MR.. DAY DEFINES Ais ATTITUDE
TOWARD THE sENAToRsHiP.

The Miner has long entertained
feeling of admiration for the innat
modesty Of Harry l.. Day. That HI
possesses this admirable quality il
known quite generally to the peopl,
in this somewhat remote section o
Idaho, thanks to the local daily which
with a modesty in common with it,
master, proclaims itself the exponent
of the Occur d'Alenes." When with
paid the creditors of defunct bank
without letting his left hand know
anything about it. this enterprising
paper published the facts to the world
with appropriate eulogy, much to the
distress of the philanthropist. When
the Mexican war cloud cast its shadow
over the country and Governor Alex
ander named Mr.. Day as special re-
cruiting officer for this county, this
enterprising journal was. moved to
issue san extra edition to inform an
admiring populace of the honor that
had been thrust upon him. The 9TH
Ter day when Mr.. Days bank made a
penarouc S,,hScrintinp IN tha NJ ;tac, a,
Loan" bonds, the patriotism Of that
financial institution was the subject
of fulsome praise. These are a few
of the more notable instances in which
the local daily has enlightened the
public upon the modest and retiring
personality of Mr., Day
But we are not limited to the local
daily for an intimate view of Mr.
Days modesty. He was in Boise o
few days ago and favored the Capital
News with quite an extended inter-
view. Getting down 10 politics tine
reporter called Mr.. Days attention to
the rumor that he or his brother, Jer-
ONE, would be candidate to succeed
Senator Borah. The reporter says
Mr. Day laughed and replied"
Il don't know what my brother may
do but | have no idea that he will be
a candidate. 1t is foolish for anyone
to say what he will or will not do two
years In advance particularly as he
has not been offered anything. Per-
sonally, l can only reiterate my for
ner expression--l am not a candidate
and shall not be. There is only one
conceivable condition under which !

IN irresistible call by the people. No
nan could decline this IL practically
unanimous any more than President !
Wilson could have declined renon,in. !

No wonder Mr.. Day laughed. He Is
not without the saving
ense of humor.

MOTHERS.

Amelia Josephine Burr in the outlook
Il hold no cause worth my sons life"
one said
And the two women with her as she
spoke
Joined glances in hush thar neither
So present was the memory of their
And through their meeting eyes their
souls drew near,
Linked by their sons, men who had
held life dear
But laid 1t down for something dearer
still.
One had wrought out with patient
The riddle of pestilence, and won,
Fighting on stricken, till his work
was done
For children of tomorrow. For away.
In shel-torn soil of France the other
lay,
And in the letter that his mother read
Over and over, kneeling as to pray
I'm thanking God with all my heart
today,
Whatever comes"--(that was the day
he died)-
I've done my bit to clear the road
ahead"
In those two mothers, common pain of
loss
Blossomed in starry flowers of holy
pride.
What thoughts were hers who silent
stood beside
Her son the dreamers cross?

STATE AND NATIONAL DISGRACE
(Goodwin's Weekly

1t is .disgraceful that there should
ever be occasion to talk about a scar
city of food or high prices for food In
the United States.
Texas has a greater area than all
the north German states combined, OF
to be exact, a landed area of 1900
squar4miles, or 67,sO5, sos acres.
Giving thirds of that area to
waste and pasture land, there are left
55,935,200 acres that will grow luxur-
Eiantly every plant needed for the food
of man and animals, and she has pen-
ty OF white and black laborers to cul-
tivate it. That would give every
man, woman and child in the country
the product Of half acre Of land
California has greater landed area
than all the British isles and her two
great valleys, if properly cultivated,
could supply food enough to feed all
the people and all the domestic ami
mails of this west coast.
France has an area of 207, 1854 square
miles; Iowa has 56,O25, Missouri co.
9lS and Kansas S2,O80--these three
states exceeding France by 1867
square miles.
Moreover these three states have
vastly more land fit for cultivation
than has France. All told, we have
named hut five OF our forty eight
states. but these five have a greater
area and are vastly richer agricul-
tural states than Great Britain.
France and Germany taken together.
The capacity for food production of
the remaining forty-t three states is al
most beyond estimation and we have
but 1O0,OO0,000 people to feed. WHY.
then, should common vegetables and
bread be held at famine prices in such
land why the daily fear advertised
IF possible scarcity of provisions
md the advisability Of laying in a
tore Of supplies?
There can be but three reasons. One /
!, that the men in the agricultural
tates are too indolent to see that
heir lands are cultivated; second, the
of middlemen who rob
ne farmers on one hand and the con-
umers on the other; and tine laxity
the authorities in not keeping track
I the proceeds of the respective
Iates and the amounts exported.

WHY OPPOSE DISCUSSION OF
PUBLIC AFFAIRS?

For many months the leading bust.
ness interests of Great Britain and

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
THIS YEAR.

Governor Alexander has issued a
proclamation calling upon all peace
officers to prevent az far as within
their power the use OF explosives and
fireworks on the Fourth of July this
year. and also calling upon all dealers
to refrain from offering explosives of
all kinds for sale. This is timely ac-
tion on the part of the governor and
his suggestions should be closely OBJ
served. The use of explosives might
easily be the means of permitting en-
emies of the government to cause ex-
plosions designed to destroy life and
property, and the safest plan Is to
deny the privilege to all. incidentally
this precedent may prove to be good
one to follow in future years when
the country is not at war, for the ia
talities due to the use Of fireworks Is
sufficient argument against their use
at all times
But the celebration of the Fourth
should be observed with a deeper pa
triotism than ever before. The very
thing we celebrate, the establishment
OF free and independent government,
Is threatened, and every patriotic citi-
zen should make the observance of the
Fourth of July this year an occasion
to rededieate himself to the cause Of
freedom and the ideals of government
under which all mep are equal. The
patriotic exercises. instead of being
formality and regarded as subordin-
ate to the more elaborate program of
sports, as has been the tendency for
many years, should be the big and
feature of the day. The
program of sports should be volun-
tary for the amusement and entertain
ment of the people, and the fund sub
scribed should be limited to the actual |
expenses of the celebration. In view
of the heavy tax that will soon be felt
by the people TO prosecute the war
the call for voluntary subscriptions to
the Red Cross and many others for
care of soldiers in the field and their |
dependents at home, we believe no
attempt should be made to raise the
usual large fund to be disbursed in
prizes for athletic and other contests.
Surely the people Of this district will
turn out to do honor to the anniver-
sary of the nations birth this year as
never before We have entered into
, war that will prove the crucial test
If the stability of our system of gov
for the war with Germany
$ nothing less than a final struggle
between democracy and autocracy ;

en to renew his loyalty to the flag,

rec institutions and resolve to re-

Barrel Measure.
Indianapolis NeWa)

There is no standard barrel measure
for the whole United States EXCEPT
Tor apples. An act Of congress, in
force since July 1, 1918, says: THE
standard barrel for apples shall be:
Length of stave, 2Sh inches: diamet.
er OF heads, TN inches; distance be.
tween heads. rs inches; circumference
OF bugle, "a inches, outside measure,
ment; representing as nearly as pos.
sible 705s cubic inches" When this
Dill was under discussion in congress
1t was opposed by the advocates OF
state rights on the ground that in
1ividuai states should describe their
own standard barrel. Most Of the
states prescribe that berrel OF flour
'hall contain 1876 pounds, a barrel OF
,eef or pork zoe pounds.

The land of sunshine and Of song!
Her name your hearts divine;
To her the banquet's VOWS belong
Whose breasts have poured its wine.
Our trusty friend, our true ally
Through varied change and chance;
So. fill your flashing goblets high,
l give you, yive la France!
Above our hosts in triple folds
The selfsame colors spread.
Where Valors faithful arm upholds
The blue. the white, the red;
Alike each nations glittering crest
Reflects the mornings glance,
Twin eagles, soaring east and west!
Once more, then, Vive la France!
Sister in trial! who shall count
Thy generous friendships claim.
@Whose blood ran mingling in the fount
That gave our land its name.
Till Yorktown saw in blended line
Our conquering arms advance.
And victory's double garlands Irvine
Our banners! Vive la France!
o land. of heroes in our need
One gift from heaven we crave
To staunch these wounds that vainly
bleed
The wise to lead the brave.
Call back one captain of thy past
From glory's marble trance.
Whose name shall be a bugle blast
To rouse us! Vive la France!
