DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.
Chairman Dent, of the military com
mittee, announced when the house con-
,vened he had reached an agreement
with Representative Kahn of Califor-
mia, leader of the conscription forces,
to continue general debate on the army
bill Throughout tomorrow.
Representative Huddleston, Alabama,
a pacifist, reused the house to laugh
ter and the galleries to cheers when
he charged in opening debate that big
men Of the country are behind the Sc
lective draft because Of its social and
Industrial" aspect.
Theodore N. Vail, Cornelius Wander
bilt, Frank A. Munsey, Herbert L. Sat-
terlee, ]. P. Morgan, Frank A. Wander
lip and Henry p. Dawson are for it,
he said. "as Is the last and noblest Ro-
man of them all-Elihu Root"
HUMBLE MEN CRAWL.
"All who are familiar with Industrial
oppression and reaction in its most
vicious form recognize the men named
They and their associates rule the ma
tion with their newspapers and their
wealth. Humble men crawl through
their legs. To attack them means po-
litical DEATH"
Laughter greeted this remark. Cheers
greeted statement that his speech
might mean political grave for him.
Speaker Champ Clark, openly op-
posed to selective draft, was booked
to speak in the house In an effort to
sway his following against the war
declaration, was likewise understood
to be ready to talk against the draft,
while Representative Heflin, fiery >ad-
ministration orator, planned an attack
against those who are thwarting what
army men say is indispensable-the
draft bill.
Some Of the o-conscriptionists
planned to read the interview of Gen.
eral Bridges. British leader, wherein
he showed that England had learned
the conscript lesson only after passage
through sea Of blood.

PRACTICE LAW IN NEW Work.?

1t has been known by many of the
senator's friends prior to the publica-
tion in the Capital News last winter
that he contemplated retiring. To
some of these it is understood he gave
among other reasons opportunities
open to him to enter the law practice
in New York city. Whether that has
influenced the final decision Is not
known.
There was considerable speculation
in Boise today as to the senator's rea-
sons for his decision.
Frank Wyman today received a tele-
gram from the senator stating that he
wanted very much to wait and talk
with my personal friends to whom I
owe SO much" but that conditions had
arisen justifying an immediate an
nouncement. Il will write you and see
you all SO soon as can," the message
to Mr.. Wyman continued. Please tell
as many Of my friends as you see Of
this telegram. would like to make it
personal to all IL I could"

the wotan line. On a front Of nearly
nine miles today from Oppy to around
Croisilles the fighting was raging with
a ferocity unparalleled since the days
of the opening Of the war when allied
troops beat back the Germans in their
rush toward Paris.
Once again the Germans are using
great masses Of men poured with
reckless prodigality for human life into
the rents where the stubborn British
advance has penetrated. British artil-
lery directed against these massed in
fantry troops literally tore them to
pieces. but in many places along the
line the number OF men hurled by the
German commanders was so great that
their pressure literally forced them be-
yong the barrage fire. Then would
come hand to hand fighting of the bit
terest sort.
SLOWLY GOING FORWARD.
It was in struggles of this intensity
today that the British were still push
ing forward, inch by inch and yard by
yard. Although the enemy has known
approximately the general location of
the British offensive. the complete
mastery of the air obtained by Haig' S
fliers have prevented the German COM
manders from spying out various
moves Of his bringing up troops and
the British smashes therefore are still
more or less surprise attacks. Forty
German airplanes were brought down

On the French front the fighting

w. Blanchett was found guilty of the
murder of Clyde D. Armour of Sioux
City, Ia, by jury in the district court
here early today. The death penalty is

London, April 25.-Cap-
tain Rice Of the American
steamship Mongolia, which
has arrived at a British port,
told the Associated Press to-
day that the Mongolia fired
the first gun of the war for
America and sunk a German
submarine.
Naval gunners aboard the
Mongolia made a clean hit at
1000 yards and the periscope
was seen to be shattered. Oil
was seen on the water after
the submarine disappeared.
SHELL DISAPPEARED.
An even more pertinent
fact, as regards the ultimate
fate of the submarine, was
that the shell disappeared
Immediately after the hit
was made. The captain
stated a shell always rico

The Mongolia was going
at full speed and was a long
distance from the spot when
the spray and foam subsidized.

ATTACK ATTEMPTED.
The submarine attempted
to attack the liner in British
waters April 10. Its peris-
cope was sighted dead ahead
on the last afternoon of the
voyage. The captain or
dered full speed ahead, in
tending to ram the subma-
rine. The periscope then
disappeared but a few min
utes later reappeared on the
ships broadside. The gum
ners fired, hitting the peris-
cope squarely, throwing up a
fountain of water.

own nervous system. That is the
great stimulus to cooperation and
helpfulness. OF what value are our
own comfort and pleasure when we
are made to feel the pain of others,
the pain that comes to them from
poverty, neglect, disease, oppres-
sion, tyranny and other Affections.
Fellow-feeling bids us to soothe the
pain and ease the burdens of others,
to reduce poverty, disease and vice.
How to do it best is the problem
that calls for the most serious and
most earnest reflection. To this the
trumpet call of our New Years Dav
should rouse us.

isolated from his fellows, is helpless.
The strongest, the wisest, and the
bravest is reduced to the helpless
ness of child. 1t is by the close CO.
operation of man with man, of life
with life, of group with group, the
ramifcations and interlacing of
which extend over the entire world,
that that which we call civilization
with all it's power and greatness has
been accomplished.
The relation of the individual life
to all other lives must be that of
harmonious cooperation, working
with others, not against others;
working for others even as others
work for it. The law of human life
is the law of mutual service and
mutual helpfulness. From this law
there can be no exemption. Neither
the rich can be exempt from it, nor
the poor; neither the wise, nor the
simple The close relation between
human lives is developing our sym
pathies to remarkable breadth and
depth. Pain suffered by any human
being sends twinge through our

ence. Hence the atmosphere OF
contentment and complacency that
surrounds us and the absence OF
all serious thought and reflection.
And yet we know, or should know,
that the great world around us is
not as peaceful and contented as we
feel ourselves to be; nay, that there
is great deal of discomfort, turbu-
lence, madness and riotousness
among the surging, seething masses
of humanity OF late conditions in Our
own country have resembled a per-
petual state Of war, outbreaks here,
and riots there, and wild disorder
in many other places. And what is
worse, there is an undercurrent OF
discomfort, subterranean rumble,
in still wider areas, which has not
yet broken out in open revolt, but
may do SO at any time. Besides,
there are hundred and one ether
ugly features in the hard and rough
world around us. Can we, then, at
ford to remain lulled in our care
free, dream-like existence?
Let us rouse ourselves to serious
thought and reflection. We all wish
to see Gods world better and all Of
Gcd's children happier. We consld-
er it our God-given duty to make
them so. But there can be no intel
ligent effort without thought no
well-planned action without study
and reflection. What every earnest
minded person should reflect on is
this: Is the life that live the best
possible life can make it; and what
is the relation of my Life to the lives
around me? What standard shall
I apply to measure the value of my
life, or any life?
We know Of only one standard:
The amount of good such life &C
complishes and gives to the world.
There is no one to dispute that. No
one will consider a useless, frultless
life as of any value. Mere living
cannot be an end in itself. Mere
living means an empty life. To work,
to create, to engage in those eff
forts and activities that result in
some good outside of oneself gives
life fullness and richness.
Let each one reflect whether the
life he is living is the best, the full
est, the richest And in order to
answer it Alright, let him also ask
himself what the relation of his life
is to the lives around him. Living,
as we are, in complex social sys-
tenn and in close and constant touch

MANY HOGS SOLD FOR
LESS Than Value
Feed Crops Should Be Utilized For
Fall Pork Production-Breedino
Stock Must Be Kept.

Farmers have been advised to plant
an abundance of feed crops; and the
only successful way to market such
crops is to use them for finishing on
live stock. II the stock is sold before
the crops are produced, it defeats the
very purpose for. which the crops
were planted. Since the prices Tor
hoge have gone so high, buyers have
invaded many parts OF Louisiana and
are purchasing all the hogs they can
get at prices approximating half the
value of butcher hogs on the marker.
The prices paid have ranged from o
cents to or 8 cents pound ana
many of these hogs have been supse-
ouently sold at from IA to l6 cents.
A 6O-pound pig at s cents brings
less than $500. The same pig II kept
ON pasturage with just enough grain
10 keep it in a thrifty and growing
condition should easily finish-on at
around 200 pounds next winter rr
spring. At the present prices it would
bring sS5 to SS5-the difference
amounting to an average OF say szo
represents the farmers feed crops pre-
parei for the market by feeding II 10
the growing pig. Now if he sells the
pig before he puts the feed into him
and then cannot sell the crop, it will
be loss in every way.
II is therefore thought desirable II
invite the attention of the farmers TO
this question and to advise them not
to sell any light, young hogs that
should be kept and finished in the
fall or winter, and also to avoid sell
ing any brood sows that may be need
ed for increasing the number OF hogs
on the farm. It is not economical to
sell hogs until they have reached
satisfactory weight for the slaughter
house, or say $50 pounds as a mini
mum. II it becomes necessary to sci
of part of the hog stock. the owner
should keep posted on the markets
and should probably insist on getting
for young hogs not less than two
thirds of the top prices for finished
hogs, or, in other words. when the tor
of the market is is cents pound
hogs on the farm should not brinl
less than 10 cents if they are at al
promising for the market in six L
ten months hence.
1t should certainly be the aim o
every farmer to keep enough hogs Y
