INTERNATIONAL WAR COUN-
GIL MEETS AT WASHINGTON

High representatives from Britain
and France, statesmen, sailors and
soldiers, are soon to arrive in Wash
ington to confer with American Of
t1cials on methods by which the re-
sources of the United tSates shall be
Joined to those of the allies in oppos-
ing Germany and on the ultimate
ends for which the entente and our
country will fight till victory is
reached.
The chief responsibility of these
men in conference will be to make
certain That America does not make
the mistakes that cost the entente
so dearly during the first two years
OF war. 1t will be decided how best
the United States may fit into the
allied offensive around Germany.
Also the experiences of the allies
must be talked over in regard to
smoothly converting a peaceful COM
monwealth into an active military
nation. All resources must be mobil-.
lied Fin such way that each will
gain maximum strength without in
terfering with the progress of any
other, the military, the naval, the ag-
ricultural and the industrial.
The British and French commits
sioners will be received with the
most distinguished honors the nation
has to offer.

PROBLEM OF THE
GERMAN

America has always boosted of 1t
free spirit of welcome to all people
of Europe who crave liberty enough
to cross the ocean for it. American
have always been tolerant of tn,
opinions of each other, sometimes al
most too tolerant. Acquiring citizen
ship here has been like joining {
great benevolent society without in
itiation or fuss; one becomes a full
fiedged citizen Immediately upon his
qualifying. The following letter
taken from The Chicago Tribune, was
written by German born American
citizen, and clearly it shows how the
broad spirit of freedom takes root
in the heart and distils therein that
fine loyalty to democratic principles
which makes men willing to fight
against their own kins-people in a
just quarrel:
"My emotions tell me one thing at
this awful time, but my reason tells
me other things. AS a German by
birth, it is horrible calamity that
| may have to fight Germans. That
is natural, is it not SO? But as all
American by preference, l can see
no other course open.
For % years Germany has shown
dislike for the United States-the
Samoan affair, the Hong Kong con-
tretemps, the Manila bay incident,
the unguarded words of the kaiser
himself, and lastly, the, Haitian con-
troversy in 1914.
Whether it is right or not,
pleasant or not, the fact remains that
the interests of the two countries
have frequently confiicted. And it
has not been from mere commercial
or diplomatic friction. 1t is because
their ideals of government are alb
solutely opposite.
Because of my birth and feelings
beyond my control, l have no par
ticular love for the French and less
for the British. But by a strange
irony of fate l see those nations CIV
ing their blood for principles which
hold dear, against the wrong prin-
ciples of people l individually love.
1T is very unhappy paradox, but
one l cannot escape. l do not want
to see the allies triumph over the
land of my birth. But l do very
much want to see the triumph of the
ideals they fight for. 1t sickens my
soul to think Of this nation going
,orth to help destroy people many of
whom are bound to me by ties of |
blood and friendship. But it must
be so. The mailed fist has been
shaken under our nose before. If
orussianism triumphs in this war,
he fist will continue to shake. We
will be in real peril and those ideas
or which SO much of the worlds
)est blood has been spilled thru the
centuries will be in danger of ex-
motion"

FARMER SPEAKERS
MIsREPRESENTED

Our account of the Saturday s
farmers meeting published in our
Fridays issue has been attacked by
men who were present, as being in
correct in several details.
1t is said that Mr.. Pendlebury was
mis-quoted; that he did not say the
farmers ought to build sugar fac
tory of their own, but that he said
they had not received the share of
returns they should have, consider
ing the amount they have invested
in property to produce the sugar
Also, certain statements made by w.
g. Sholtz were credited by the re-
porter to Mr.. Pendlebury and vice
versa. The effect of these mistakes
in reporting IL is said to have been
misleading and unjust to the speak
ers.
We desire to say to our readers
that the reporter who covered the
meeting was instructed to report just
what happened, so that the persons
who read 1t after being at the meet
ing would approve Of it and say it
was correct, and SO those who did
not attend could read it and know
just what was done. We do not
knowingly permit anything to be
published that deceives or misleads
The reader or that "colors" the news

THE CIVIC

The first tangible accomplishment
of the Bingham County Civic league
should be celebrated. Not that as
surances of road around the town
to the stock yards is a matter Of
such great Importance. But a taste
of successful cooperation is enough
to recommend it to a live community
The league talked over the matter
of stock passing thru town on its
way from outside districts to the
yards north of town, and by a vote
urged the city council and commits
sioners to- work together to get a
roadway around the town for stock.
Cattle men who were present spoke
in favor of the plan. 1t would be
better for I'll concerned, and would
have BEEN year before, but no &C
tion comes without first impulse.
The league furnished the impulse
that started the commissioner-ma
chinery that now promises a road
very shortly.
One hundred desires expressed at
a gathering as unanimous for thing
make a power a million times more
effective than those hundred identi-
cal desires not expressed but carried
around singly, bottled up, and fer
This is a taste of power

clothes and furs from the populace
of cities in their path.
Of these returning exiles Nine.
Breshkovskaya, the grandmother of
the Russian recolution," was given
the most particular ovation by the
whole people, for it is because of her
work in the direction of democracy,
now accomplished, that she was a
prisoner in Siberia for the past A
years. She still retains her hold on
the Russian people, and is a recog-
nized power in the new regime. be-
canse of her popularity Great meet
ings of welcome were given for her
in the principal cities she passed thru
on her way to Petrograd.

THE SPEECH OF
| CARRUTH

On Thursday evening at the meet
ing of the civic league, j. T. Carruth
made some suggestions that ought tc
be taken home by every loyal Ameri.
can boy and girl in the land. 1t was
that the schools of the country
/ change the national game.
The great game of base ball and
other games, that have been played
to develop power and pluck, have
done their work and now that power
and pluck should be directed into
channels that will help to win the
greatest game ever played on the
face of the earth, the winning of
the greatest war of history.
Every man in the field plays to
try to keep the man at the bat from
getting to first base, or second base,
or third or home. And every soldier
and sailor is training to keep the
kaiser and his men from getting to
our first base, or second, or third or
from making home run. They con-
test every inch of ground and every
foot of the seas.
In the present great international
game, the score will go to the play
ers who have food to eat the day
after the others have exhausted their
supply. All the great generals and
statesmen agree upon that, and while
the world faces a food shortage,
while it is certain that some millions
of people will go hungry and lose
the war because of lack of food, it
is plain that every boy and girl in
the civilized world plays an active
part in the war when he or she
plants seeds of any kind and gives
them the very best chance to grow
and make articles of food. The boy
or girl who plants some radish seeds |
Or lettuce today and some parsnips, |
Deets, potatoes and corn in season,
helps to win the war by adding to
he worlds food supply. The soldier
or sailor may not eat the radishes
and lettuce, but the eating of those
Kings near home enables some other
'ood article to be saved and sent to
persons nearer the firing line.
The highest officer in the German
var department says the war will be
Won or lost in the fields and gardens,
md boys and girls who want to have
place in the big game of war should
re glad to 60 into the silence of the
arden safe from the horrors of war,
nd there put the tiny seeds into the
arth and bring forth the articles
n which the winning of the war de- t
ends.
This is a good time to take into
consideration that the ball game is
My a make-believe contest. A con-
est on which nothing in particular
epends. 1t could stop at any mo-
lent and nothing would be gained G
r lost to any one. But in the game c
( actual warfare, the lives Of mil ?
ons of innocent people are at.stake, s
nd besides that there Is at stake
ne liberties of the world for gen. s
rations to come.

CARE OF BABY PIGS

At the age of from three to four
days, catch each pig and with the
aid of a pair of pinchers remove the
black teeth. In removing these teeth
be sure to break them off. Never
pull them as this would leave a
wound open to infection. The above
precaution will materially reduce the
canker sore mouth trouble so COM
mon among your young pigs.
Do not allow, your little pigs to
become excessively fat. In the event
they begin to show excessive fairness
around the throat, reduce the dams
feed materially. If this condition is
not checked, a disease commonly
known as ''thumps" will result. This
disease is very difficult to cure tho
is 1t easily prevented, Lack of suf-
tlcient exercise will often times result
in thumps. Provide an opening lead
ing from the dams quarters which
will allow the pigs to escape at any
time. II the weather is such that
the little pigs cannot leave the
quarters, either of the following
methods have proved very effective;
Keep them moving in the pen by
the aid of the whip, from a quarter
to half an hour each day until
normal conditions are restored; or
provide barrel of sufficient siz, to
accommodate the litter, placing the
pigs inside, closing the end with Stats
close enough to prevent the pigs
from escaping, tho providing abund-
ant air. If these precautions are fol-
lowed, thumps will cause very little
loss.
The most profitable pork produc-
tlon is possible only when the in
dividuals are making maximum
growth from the time they are far
roWed until they are put on the
market. Thus we do not want a.
check or stop in the growth, for ex-
periments have shown that all such
checks are made at the expense of
the producer. The weaving period is
perhaps the most important period
from this standpoint When the pigs
are two weeks old they should be-
Taught to eat. Provide a trough and
2 FEEDING floor out of reach of the
dam but accessible at all times for
Inc little pigs. Keep skim milk in
Inc trough most of the time If pos
sible. Sprinkle oats ON the feeding
1oor. If you have no oats, cracked
wheat or shorts may be used. It
Viii be found that the pigs will soon
De regular visitors to the feeding
quarters, and at the time of weaving.
Eight weeks, the pigs will be taking
full ration. By following this sys-
EN-, the usual check at weaving will
re prevented.
AT seven weeks of age, all males

o registry should be castrated. This
'peration is very simple and with
anitary precautions, the loss should
e very small.
