HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS
WILL FOLLOW HOOVER.

SPOKANE, WASH, Sept. 27.-Hoov-
erizing in hotels and restaurants OF
the state will commence October l,
if the proprietors agree to the sug-
gestions made by Federal Food Adj
ministrator Charles Hebberd of Spo-
kane who is seeking their coopera-
ton. Observance of the few rules
advocated is to be voluntary but
MIR. Hebberd confidently believes
nearly every caterer will cheerfully
give a pledge to do his part.
In order to induce the coopera-
ton of their customers this campaign
is to be launched on a national scale
at the same time. All hotels and res
taurants will be asked to arrange
their menus with the purposes OF
the food administration in mind, and
to set forth on their menu cards the
principal regulations of the food adj
ministration.
The principal aim is to conserve
in staple foods so greatly needed by
our armies abroad and our allies
These include the highly concentra-
ted and easily exportable foods, such
as wheat, meat, sugar and fats. The
methods suggested are:
To encourage the use of potatoes
vegetables, chicken, fish, fruits
cheese and vegetable salads.
To eliminate toast and bacon as
garnitures.
TO reduce the use of wheat by
substituting corn and rye breads.
To discourage serving bread and
butter before the first course, and
to reduce the individual service OF
each.
To save all coarse and waste fats
To serve as few fried dishes as
possible.

PROSPERITY AND HOME
INDUSTRIES

Zone of the causes for the failure
of local enterprises is the failure
on the part of many people to COM
prehend that whatever injuries any
business in a community reflects in
jury upon the people of the COM
snunity. Home enterprises should be
loyalty supported by home people.
1t is too often the case that a bust
ness that is of incalculable benefit
for locality is hampered or ruined
thru jealousies. Some people are so
constituted that they cannot endure
to see an acquaintance fairly pros
porous, while they are perfectly will
ing to contribute to the prosperity
of a stranger. The person who
makes his money here and spends
It elsewhere need not be surprised
to find that others initiate his ex-
ample and that in the course of e.
vents, crashes result, which throw
him out of employment or entail
severe losses in other ways. Loyalty
to home interests is essential to the
prosperity of any community"

PROTECT CoLv1LLE HOMESTEAD

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Cong-
ress having failed to take any action
on bills introduced by senator's Poln-
dexter and Jones and representative
Dill postponing the date OF the first
payment on homestead entries on
the south half of the Colville reserv-
alton, Senator Jones asked the land
commissioner if he had authority to
grant extensions. The commissioner
said in letter to senator Jones:
Until congress has had ample op-
portunity to consider the question
this department will not take adj
vantage of the forfeiture provision
of the law on account of nonpay-
ment in the absence of a valid adj
verse claim. Any payment made af-
ter the required time will receive
equitable consideration in the abb
sence of a valid adverse claim"
The Washington delegation ex-
poets to pass the pending bell early
next session. Its passage this ses-
sion seems impossible.

ships and to increase the bill itself
by about SIS, 100000.
This would bring the total to

For the fourth time since adop-

missioner Petit, who approved
the chiefs action, are the COM
plainants.
Assistant City Attorney Frank
M. Carnahan will be prosecuting
attorney.
Deputy Prosecutor George NJ.
Thompson will be one of the most
important witnesses against Teale.
Thompson will testify that Teale
appeared before him, asked for a
search warrant for a certain hotel
on the pretext that he had located
a trunk of booze hidden there, and
then used the warrant for other
purposes.
Police officers, corroborating
this testimony, according to Chief
Smith, will charge that Teale used
the warrant to gain access to the
rooms occupied by a man and his
daughter in a Pacific avenue ho-
tel, where he charged the man
with living unlawfully with a
woman not his wife. 1t will be
charged, Smith says, that Teale
knew the man and used this means
of frightening him, in vindication
of a. grievance.
More than usual interest CEN

result of charges by Commissioner
Petit two weeks ago that the Citi-

of pressure on him to keep Teale

Of AN immense audience.
The hearing rs to start at 8

STOLEN

BY DOG


CHICAGO, Feb. 10. - Seven
persons are under arrest as a re-
suit of the dramatic recovery of
jewels worth anywhere from $1O,-
600 to 100000, alleged to have
been lost in the loop last Friday
by Mrs. H. DeWardener."
Mrs. DeWardener is said to be
Baroness DeWardener Hollub, WIS.,
sitting in Chicago at the home of
her sister, Mrs. /. P. Stehle.
According to detectives the jew
els were found by a trick dog be-
longing to Mrs. and Mrs. James
Murray, vaudeville actors. They
were in a beaded black bag.
Swept off their feet by the sud-
den acquisition of what to them
represented a fortune, the Muir
rays fled to Cincinnati, where
their arrest followed.
Before leaving, however, they
divided the spells with Miss Mae
Glavin and Harry McCarty, it is
claimed. The latter, in turn.
"divvied" with Mike Prouty, a
chauffeur, who disposed of the
stones to Ernest Wickert and
Charles Weadley, saloonkeepers.
The tip which led to the recov-
cry of the jewels came from a
chauffeur who saw the dog pounce
upon the beaded bag.

Because of fetich q superstition, dead
formula, a word,
"CONsCRIPTION"-that was the dread
DOGGY that lay in the path. Great Britain
NEVER HAD resorted to conscription, there
fore it NEVER MUST resort to it.
Then Lord Derby hit upon the happy
scheme of putting CONSUMPTION to work, but
calling it by another name, and after vast
ing Is months OF precious time Great Britain
began to get an army.
1t is terrible responsibility that these
unfortunate slaves of the fetch assume.
Twelve years ago the British government,
then in the hands of the conservatives, pre-
pared bill for universal military training
and service, and these fetch persons fright
ened the government out of the idea.
IF THEY HAD KEPT STILL THERE
WOULD BE NO WAR NOW.
A few years later discerning men like
Lord Roberts and Robert Blatchford saw that
certain soon or late to be attacked by Ger
many.
The fetch persons howled down all these
warnings.
There is in all Great Britain today not one
thinking creature that does not bitterly re-
greet that a deaf ear was turned and eyes
were resolutely closed to the certain facts.
Jingoes are rightly detested. Yet it must
always be question If they do as much
harm as the fetch crowd.
We have here in America more than our
share of them. bill to make service for
the republic and defense of its life the COM
mon duty of oil has been introduced in the
senate and they are going out to beat it.
IF, FIVE YEARS HENCE, OR TEN, WE

RESPONSIBILITY.

WARNS NOTED REPORTER
BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 10.-The mag
nificent motto of democratic Switzerland,
"All for one and one for all'-that should
be ours no less.
The present military policy of the United
States-if we can be said to have one-is to
hire some few of us to go out and fight for
the rest of us, who sit in fat ease at home.
1T is ROTTEN 1T is UNDEMOCRATIC,
1T is COWARDLY, AND FOR MODERN
WARFARE 1T is UTTERLY FOOLISH.
This is no new discovery to anybody that
was privileged to be in Europe when the
present war began.
1t was in England month after the over
ture to that drama tuned up, and what saw
sent glimmering the last illusion on this
subject.
Great Britain had a military system
like ours. She depended upon volun-
teers and an army that fought for hire,
and in all human experience sys-
tenn went more completely to smash.
There was the plain situation, as clear as
the day to anybody that cared to look at it,
Great Britain would never have an army
until she made service the duty of all and
not the paid job of a few.
All the men in the government knew it
perfectly well. Whatever they might say for
public consumption, they knew the truth, and
in private they acknowledged it.
Day after day the country rang with ap-
peals, meetings were held in every corner of
the realm, the government spent 100000
600 in advertising in the newspapers and on
bill boards.
Men would not enlist on the mercenary
basis.
So Great Britain wasted Is months in
which she took practically no part in
the land war because she had men
TO nut into the field.
But IL the leaders in the government
knew the truth why didn't they say it?
