Some Ships Wooden,
Some Are Of Steel

Please note, too, that they are of
both wood and steel-and if you are
worrying about the government
making a mistake in building wood
en- vessels, even in the stress of a
war that reckons no costs and wants
only results, consider the fact that
many of the Communicated vessels
are Of wooden construction, ordered
by private business. If the level
headed Standard Oil Company con-
siders it good business to build
wooden ships, Uncle Sam is prob
ably not making a mistake in build
ing them as a war measure.
The war measures of to-day will
be the peace measures Of tomorrow.
Is Uncle Sam going to come out of
this war as owner of some thou
sands of freighters and then be con-
tent to leave the commercial suprem-
acy Of the Pacific or any other ocean
to Japan or any other nation? War
Is problem that settles some peace
problems.
While the war is on Japan reaps
her harvest on a Pacific almost bare
OF the American flag. But after
ward? One day Herr BALM may
write a book which may laboriously
conclude that if his imperial SOW
ereign destroyed the German mer-
chant marine he at least succeeded
in building up the American.

Many Are Built
Only for Destroyer

Presently fate assigns her the one
deadly number in the hundred, and
in a few minutes she settles to her
final resting place in the ocean ooze.
What a thousand patient men ac-
complished in strenuous months a
handful of impatient men undo in a
tense moment. And the only an
swer to destruction being construc-
ticn, vengeance is sought by still
greater constructive effort.
So the government may take over
the shipyards in the hope of provid-
ing foor for the sea wolves more
rapidly than private industry.
If you have thought that the ship.
yards were idle while Denman and
Goethals quarrelled, note with reas-
surance that on the shores of the
single Bay of San Francisco there
are now building ffty-nine ships, ex-
ceeding $500 tons each, of a total
tonnage Of 100000; that Puget
Sound contributes as much more,
and that other Pacific ports are
building at least another hundred
thousand tons. These figures take
no account of many ships of less
than $500 tons or of the war vessels
that are building at the Mare Island
Navy Yard and in private ship
yards up and down the coast.

Red Cross Notes.

The regular m Getting of the red cross
was held at the Remington hotel Mon
day evening. at which time communi-
cation and instructions from national
headquarters were read, and impOr-
tant business was tranacted pertain
inc TO the work of the society.
The resignation of W. C. Gregory
as chairman of the finance committee
was accepted and the president ap-
pointed Maurice NJ. Myers TO succeed
him.
It was decided that the members
wishing to take sewing to their homes
could do so. Up to the present time
il has not been thought advisable for
this TO be done as the heads Of the
different departments and their help
ers werS themselves, becoming ia
miliar with the work and were pre-
pairing samples for exhibition. By the
end of this week samples OF all the
articles to be made will be ready for
inspection at the work rooms. A re-
preventative of each department is
present every afternoon to instruct
and explain the work. Miss Oliver

CLEAN WHEAT THOROUGHLY
SAYS LOCAL GRAIN DEALER
f. f. Earring Urges Farmers to Avoid
Docking by Observing Government
Regulations.

The new method of standardizing
grain recently adopted by the United
States government, will mean that
every farmer must carefully clean his
wheat to escape dockage in the local
grain elevators and warehouses, ac-
cording to E. f. Earring OF the Earring
Grain company.
Every car of wheat that is shipped
from American Falls will be graded
by a government inspector in Pocatel-
To-" said Mr.. Earring this morning
That means that the grain men here
will have to grade every sack of
wheat that comes to their houses. A
small percentage of chaff or cracked
grain, or weed seeds may cause a loss
/ of several cents a bushel to the own
er who neglects to thoroughly clean
/ his wheat. Screens on threshers
should be used with greater care than
ever before and where grain is filled
with weeds, it should be stacked un-
til the weeds are dry and the seeds
can be separated in the threshing
process. Wheat that would weigh
sixty pounds to the bushel if properly
cleaned may not weigh over fifty-si1
pounds if it is carelessly thresheC
and sacked In that case the farmei
would be getting paid for fifty-si'
pounds of wheat instead of sixty"
Mr.. Earring is of the opinion tina
the local market will start at mini
mum price of 81 bushel though tn
government has not fixed any mini
mum price for the season of 1917. II
support his prediction he states tina
a few contracts are now being Offere'
: at 50 per bushel He does not eXpec
the government TO attempt to regu
late the price this year unless specu
. lators get control of the market

stroyers today reported having engag-
ed two submarines simultaneously,
six miles distant. causing both of them
to speed away and submerge without
firing a shot-typical of the behavior
Of submarines when they see Destroy

one of the submarines had just
sunk a steamer by gunfre; the sec
ond was attacking a merchantmen

second submarine. which is described
as a super-type, almost as long as a
destroyer. raced off and submerged
al the hrst shot. but the other. which
had sunk the steamer, displayed un-
usual boldness. remaining up several
minutes while the destroyer dropped
shells around her. Only when a
shell splashed within twenty-five
yards of the submarine did she sub
merge, according to the crew of the
steamer. who watched the attack from
a small boat close by and who later

DepeHuentS.
Being a member of the Power coun-
ty exemption board is no snap. The
real busy member is DR.. Moth, the ex-
amining physician. He is so busy
that the telephone receiver at the ex-
animation room has been taken from
T the hook, so he will have time to
: do the work devolving upon him.
Uncle Sam wants healthy, sound
men, and to secure such a most rigid
examination is given each candidate
for the army. So rigid is the exam
ination that much time is consumed,
and It will be well into next week be-
fore il will be known whether the re-
auired number will be secured from
the first ninety-two notices sent out.
The other members of the exemp-
ton board, Sheriff Jeffries and Coun-
ty Auditor Bulfnch, will get busy
soon. Out of the thirty-three exam
ined up to noon today "a had passed
and nine were rejected. Of the twen-
ty-four passing, fifteen calimed exemp-
ton, mostly on the grounds OF having
dependents. There are about htty
forms of exemption blanks alone, Gov
ering almost every conceivable rea-
son for asking relief from service.
Other blanks in addition to these
which have to be filled out, entail a
vast amount of work. The passing
on exemptions alone is matter that
will require much time.
