GOVERNMENT
GIVEN frs 7
WOOL CHANCE

Importers Of wool will be required to
take out license which carries with
1t the obligation not to sell the clip to
anyone but manufacturers. giving the
government the first right to buy at
the price of wool July 80, 1917, less 5
per cent. 1t is also contained in the
official publication issued by the ma
tional government.
The purpose of this move Is to bring
down the price of wool and prevent
speculation. 1t is claimed that COM
mercial wool in the United States has
advanced 200 per cent, while in Eng
land and other countries the raise has
not been over SIS per cent The WOO.
stock of the world has increased in
stead of decreased These facts are
set forth by the government in its
publication.
GROWERS GET SHORT END.
Sheepmen of Idaho declare that while
wool has been bringing high prices,
the growers have profited the least
from them. Spectators constituting
the middlemen, they say, have made
the big money. The latter are listed
as profiteers and to them the war
trade board has administered a scath-
ing rebuke. This rebulse, in the form
of statement, is given out to explain
the new regulation issued to give the
American government option on all
important domestic consignments OF
wool. The statement says:
Government control in other coun-
tries has allayed the sense of uncer-
tainty as regards the future. which in
this country has become almost hys-
terical and has occasioned speculation
among importers. Cloth manufacture
ers have been impelled by fear to car
ry abnormal stocks of wool and to
contract with dealers or importers for
unusual quantities for forward deliv-
cry. Manufacturers Of clothing have
also been infected by like dread, in
citing the purchase of cloth exceeding
in volume their reasonable needs.
SUPPLY AMPLE.
Such processes have brought about
an artificial demand far in excess of
actual consumption, the inevitable ef-
feet Of which has created a fictitious
price condition. This has happened
at time when the wool supply in the
country is known to be ample for pres
ent needs, and for sufficient period
in advance to remove any reasonable
as to the ultimate avail
able supply.
Statistical data collected by the
government. corroborated by indepen-
dent investigation of the wool in
dustry, clearly indicate that no wool
shortage exists. either in the worlds
supply or In the amount on hand in the
United States notwithstanding the in
creased consumption for military pur-
poses. The clip In most countries has
steadily increased since the outbreak
OF the war. Raisers stimulated by the
higher returns for wool have permitted
the flocks to increase and 1t may be
reasonably expected that the increase
In the production will continue"

.B|CKNELL TO HAVE
WHITE LIST FOR
.CASH-CARRY PLANS
Merchants Who Adopt It to
Have Names Published
With Request They Be
Favored With Business.

According to the food administra-
ton for Idaho. there is to come into
existence within a short time white
list" containing the names of mer-
chants in the various cities and towns
who adopt the "cash and carry" plan,
with the view Of informing the public
as to what merchants have adopted the
plan and request they be favored with
business. The administration. through
r. F. Bicknell. has issued 5000 posters
outlining the cash and carry plan and
adjustment of free deliveries. These
are being sent to the merchant repre-
sentatives of the administration and
newspapers.
This poster says in part:
Primarily, cash and carry" Is being
advocated in Idaho as a patriotic duty
on the part of dealers and consumers
In response to the governments ex-
pressed desire that it be put into effect
wars necessities.
More than four hundred grocers in
different parts of Idaho have already
signified their readiness and willing
ness to adopt the new plan of doing
business to become effective JAM 1,
or whereabouts.
The cash and carry way OF doing
business was recommended some time
ago by the war economy board of the
council Of national defense, the fed
eral trade commission, department Of
agriculture and the United States food
administration after a decision by the
experts Of those boards that the plan
was feasible and would promote a
Standardization of business and i'm

would get goods to the consumer in the
most direct route and the least pos
sible charge. and last but foremost. the
abolition of the free delivery system
would release thousands Of men
throughout the country for more i'm
portant pursuits demanded by the in
ternational crisis.
The food administration will request
all consumers of this state as a pa
triottc duty to deal with those mer-
chants who line up behind the plan and
carry it out to the letter. 1t Is also the
intention of the food administration to
publish from time to time in the local
press Of the various communities Of
the state, the names OF those loyal mer-
chants who are doing business on

the governments desires with the view
of causing the patronage of our citi-
zens to be taken to those merchants.

Research Station at Iowa City will
tell us by and by more about mental
development and how to change the
shape of baby's head by cultivating
imagination etc. but that is work for
the expert. Most babies are born
well, mentally and physically but
parents have not yet learned how to

to feed babies properly and cease dis
turbing their nervous systems with
too much excitement and attention
we will have a stronger race of men

EASY LESSONS IN
BABY RAISING
GIVING THE BABY A FAIR START

MY baby's head is almost flat on
one side. l wonder what causes
that?" said little mother to the
baby judge as she turned the child
around for the physician to get bet
ter look at it's head.
Probably she sleeps on one side
most of the time. A child should be
sometimes placed on one side and
then on the other and turned fire.
quently when tiny so that the head
will develop evenly, you see the bones
are so soft at this early age that con-
slant lying in one position can cause
almost a deformity."
Il never thought of that. l want
to ask about this leg. too. 1t has
always been little crooked eversince
she was born. What can l do for
that?"
Massage will help to straighten
it, think, but if it stays crooked I'M
til it is time for her to walk you had
'etter take her to specialist for you
do not want her to go through life
with crooked limb"
"No, don't, but it seems as if |
know so little about what to do for n
baby"
Just remember that baby is like
tender plant that must be watched
to keep it shapely. 1t must be given
proper nourishment to keep it grow
ing, plenty of water and fresh air
and sunshine to make it healthy,
nothing in the way of clothing or bed
must cramp or hinder the develops
ment of any part of its body. Nature
will do the rest. Give the baby a fair
start in life if possible and you will
have the satisfaction of probably see
ing this part of yourself grow into a
healthy man or woman. Most diseases
of maturity have their beginning in
neglected baby ills, that might have
been remedied IL taken in time.
These health contests are valuable
because they call the attention of par
ents to the defects in their child and
make them want to remedy them be-

Are there any perfect babies?"
81 have never marked a baby 100
per cent because it hardly seems as
if an absolute physical perfection
but there are some very fine babies
brought to contest"
do they ever bring sick babies to
contests?"
Eyes, but not very often. When
this is done the sick child is not ad-
mitted because a contest is not a
proper place for children suffering
from any disease. Sick children
should be taken to the family physi-
clan and weakly children should have
private examination. Diseased
live stock is not the kind that is taken
to fairs then why should sickly
children be entered?"
Il noticed that one of the judges
took off point in babys score be-
cause her abdomen is too large. Does
that mean she is not healthy"
"A large abdomen indicates indi-
gestion and over feeding at some
time. Usually bottle babies are more
apt to have large abdomens because
they take more food than is needed
or an excess of water in the food
which distends the abdomen, some
times permanently. A little atten-
ton TO the amount of food given and
regularity of bowel movements will
bring the baby's abdomen down to
the proper dimension if the child is
young"
MY sisters baby's head was too
large"
Eyes, that baby has a very large
head but that is probably hereditary.

ira size"
Can the size of the head be chang
ed in any way?"

certain mental traits that may help to
fill out the depressions. l would not

head if its mind was alert. Some
