GOOD THINGS TO
IN IDAHO
D. r. Hubbard Makes Prac-
tical Suggestions to the
Farmers on Crops to Raise
at This Critical Time.


d. r. Hubbard or f1una, practical
farmer, member of the last session of
the legislature from Ada county and
widely known in Grange circles
throughout the state, in communica-
ton to the Evening Capital News,
urges practical methods in planting
this fall and calls upon the farmers
to plant heavily Of beans and peas. He
predicts a smaller acreage of potatoes
than last year. His letter IL as fol-
lows:
Il regret my inability to have at
tended the conference at Boise the 14th
instant. called by Auditor Utter in
pursuance to plans of the governor.
The press and public are already
overwhelmed with suggestions where
by food may be produced and supplied
to the hungry of Europe and America.
When the calm comes, after the storm,
all will be hungry and the outstretched
hands OF mothers and children in
Germany and Austria will appeal just
as strongly as do now the famished
faces in the homes Of the allies. So
the cry for food will continue, and
America will be asked for her surplus
for several years, even though the
wheat fields Of Russia and the corn
fields of South America supply all
their capacity.
WHAT WILL IDAHO DO?
THE immediate concerns us now.
What will Idaho do? Many things are
possible. but not SO many are practi-
cable. We are a month late with our
spring farm work. However, the
ground is in excellent condition and
the wheat seed will find a responsive
soil or seed bed; likewise oats and
barley.
THE high price of seed will cause a
less acreage-because in some in
stances. the lack Of money to buy, and
there Is a maxim among successful
farmers to not plant high priced seed.
The fact that the potato crop Is
now in the hands of spectators and
that they propose to work the cinch
will be resented and result In q large
ly decreased acreage. Then, too, at
present prices, 1t will require s35 to
s45 worth of seed to plant an acre Of
potatoes. Potato culture Is d business

GERMANY TO GIVE

Christiania, April 17-Germany is
shortly to issue to neutrals a statement
OF the terms on which she considers
peace negotiable, according to rumors
In diplomatic circles today.
The reports came from sources
known to be closelS identified with the
German officials plans.
Those closest in touch with the Ger
man movement here had not heard any
details Of what Germany proposes to
offer. They did not believe, however.
that there would be many concessions
from the unofficial, but highly inspired.

AIMED AT RUSSIA.
Scandinavia Is the center Of Ger
many's peace efforts aimed at Russia.
That the Teutonic officials are bending
every effort to realization of their hope
OF separate peace with the new provis-

parent in every quarter here.
American diplomatic officials have
been formally advised that the Ger

Socialist movement for peace. 1t was
the German government that apparent

Count Won Bernstorff, prime apostle

Opposition to Consumption
in the Lower House Indi-
Gates Administration Bill
Will Fail to Pass in It's
Present Form.
SENATE MAY ACT ON
MEASURE AT ONCE
Many kilograms Received
at Washington Urging
That Colonel Roosevelt Be
Authorized to Raise Divis-
ion for Service in Europe.

Washington, April 17.-Politics may
beat the conscription army plan.
Growing fear on the part of many
congressman that they could no longer
face their constituents with an Il kept
you out of war" plea-should they vote
for conscription-nade it appear in
evitable today that the volunteer plan
will be given q trial first
The compromise which seems likely
to go through will be authorization for
the president to call for 100000 to L.
100000 volunteers Immediately, to be
raised within 80 days. At the same
time the machinery for CONSUMPTION
will be authorized and put into motion
so that II the volunteer system doesn t
work within 30 days. CONSUMPTION could
be put into effect Immediately there
after.
SITUATION IN SENATE.
It was indicated today that the SEN
ate committee will not wait for the
house committees action on the bill
much longer. The situation is better
in hand. from the administration
viewpoint, in the senate than in the
house and 1t may be that the upper
branch will get the jump and pass the
whole buck up to the house.
Unless President Wilson and Secre-
tary Baker weaken and accept a trial
OF the out-and-o out volunteer system,
1t appears likely that there will be con-
siderable debate on the army bill and
1t probably won't become law for
some time.
DEMAND FOR ROOSEVELT.
A popular demand that Theodore
Roosevelt be permitted to lead a di-
vision abroad as soon as he can raise
1t. has sprung UP all over the central
western part of the country if rush
Of kilograms and letters here are to be
accepted as showing which way the
wind blows.
Opinion prevails here that the CEN
trail and far west is not fully alive to
the real war conditions facing this
country and some kind of an "awak-
ener'' is necessary. Roosevelt. many in
congress believe. could deliver the
punch to rouse the country, perhaps
better than any other man. 1t is prob
able that should the CONSUMPTION army
bill fail or be modified-as now seems
likely-Colonel Roosevelt would be i'm
mediately given permission to go ahead
with his division. If CONSUMPTION
passes, he'll lose his chance unless
President Wilson grants a special dis
pensation in his case.
LEADERS SUMMONED.
With unfavorable reports from the
house on the possibility of conscrip-
ton going through the president has
summoned tn, Republicans to his aid
in final effort to get prompt action
on the military bill, which he feels is
absolutely vital.
Chairman Dent of the house military
affairs committee will see the presi-
dent this afternoon and 1t is under
stood will report that the conscrip-
ton bill cannot be passed unless pro-
vision Is made for first trying out the
volunteer system.
Growing opposition in congress to
the selective CONSUMPTION bill prompt
ed the presidents action today.

FRIENDLY TO UNITED STATES

The Japanese are friendly TO the
United States and desire no trouble
with this country, according to f. .R
Fulkerson, vice consul to japan. who
was the guest of honor at CONNER
cial club luncheon this noon. He ex-
planned that the Japanese are inclined
to resent the attitude assumed by
some sections of the United States in
refusing to give them the same privi-
leges and rights Of other aliens. which
they are entitled to by treaty. His
talk was very interesting and instruc-
tive.

Having Your Own Way.

The very worst calamity, l should say, which could befall any human De- ing would be this-to have his own WAY from the cradle to the grave; co have everything be liked for the ask Ing or even for the buying; never forced to say, "I should like that, but can't afford It; should like this, but must not do !t;" never to deny himself, neV- CT to exert himself, never to work and never to want. That mans soul would be in as great danger as if he were committing great crimes. - Charles Kingsley.

Why Coins Are Miiled.

Did you ever look at the edge of a
dime or quarter? They are different
from pennies and nickels, for all silver
and gold coin have what are called
"milled' edges, while the edges of
pennies and nickels are smooth. The
reasons for this is that some dishonest
persons used to- clip pieces off the
coins, especially the gold ones, and
then sell these scraps Of precious metal
when they had saved great many.
every year the nation lost large sums
Oh money this way, and the thieves
would smooth the edges off so well
that 1t was hard to find out who was
guilty. The best way Of stopping this
practice was found to be to "mill" the
edges of the most valuable coins SO
that no one could pare them without
letting 1t be seen at once. Kansas
