Besides future war moves on the
western front, the conference WILL

Russia and Greece will receive from
the American delegates full informa-

President Wilson favors immediate
and greater centralization OF the war

Swiss dispatches reported that Ca

not bring his full strength into the
battle until the Piave positions were
reached. For nearly two weeks the
Italians have been preparing their
positions along this waterway. Pre-
sumably the reinforcements in men

Arthur A. Booth of Spokane ha.
just sold the Luella mica mine, foul

county to a syndicate of eastern in
vestors for 100000, according to the
Spokesman-Review. Speaking of the
matter to the Review Booth says:
'The purchasers are a small syndi-
cate of Seattle, North Dakota and Min
nesota men. The second payment has
been made and arrangements complet-
ed for operations which are to be
started at once.
More mica is exposed in the Luella
tunnel than any place else in the Uni
ted States. 1t is contained in a Chin
ney having an area of 20 by 80 feet at
depth of 20 to so feet. Production
was begun 20 years ago and carload
shipment was made to San Francisco
before the San Francisco fire.
''The demand for mica has increased
as result of the interruption of ship
ments from India Three-fourths of it
comes from manufacturers of electric
who use it for insulation.
Stove manufacturers and builders are
among other consumers. The price
ranges from so cents to $35 a pound, |
an increase of 200 per cent over the
former price.
Operations will be conducted by the
Idaho Mica company, capitalization |

WASHINGTON - Advices received
here say that Japan is anxious to
strike at Germany by occupying Serb
ia. This report, with the Russian
publication of the alleged Russian
Japanese treaty to attack any nation
attempting supremacy in China, is the
sensation today in diplomatic quarters.
Some of the allied diplomats favor the
Serbian move in view of the possible
Teuton domination of Russia. 1t is

MISS HOOVER TELLS HOW
TO CAN MEAT AND POULTRY
Gives Specific Instructions to House.
wives for This Important
Work

Miss Jessie NJ Hoover, head of the
department of home economics, Uni
versity of Idaho, has issued instruc-
tions for canning meat, poultry and
SOUP. The general instructions will
be of interest and value. Miss Hoover
says:
Essential in canning are good cans,
lids, rubbers, perfect sterilization and
a good product to can. The recipes
given are for an elevation of 500 feet,
! for every additional 1000 feet of eleva-
ton add one-tenth to the time called
for. For example is the recipe calls
for one hour of sterilization 1-10th of
60 minutes is six minutes. Adding
six minutes to one hour for 1900 feet
would require 66 minutes. For 250O
feet elevation add 2-10th or II min
utes and the time for sterilization will
be 72 minutes. Time stated is for
quarts.
For economy cans fasten the clamps
down on the llQ dS lot cdHHlHS. vi
other types of cans fasten the lids on
loosely so as to allow for escape of
steam. Immerse jars in boiler of wa
ter deep enough to cover to depth
of one inch. Count time from when
the water begins to boil vigorously
and keep it boiling throughout the en-
tire period of sterilization. Remove
cans from boiler and place to cool
where there will be no draft of air"
