The Examiner
Makes Clubbing Arrangement With
The Idaho arrner
Offers Unusual Opportunity TO Its Readers

a MONG our large circle of readers
"a there are great many who are In
- terested directly or indirectly in
= = fruit growing, dairying and other
branches of farming. All of these
naturally wish to keep in close touch with ag-
ricultural activities throughout the state;
and to know about any fight which is being
waged for the measures Idaho farmers
want and against all sorts of schemes that
are detrimental to the people and agricultural
interests of this state.
We have, therefore, made special clubbing
arrangement with THE IDAHO FAR
MER whereby any farmer or fruitgrOwer,
who is one of our regular subscribers and who
is not now a subscriber TO THE IDAHO
FARMER, will be entitled to receive THE
IDAHO FARMER in combination with
this paper at the same rate as for this paper
alone.
This offer applies to all those who renew or
extend their subscriptions as well as to all
new subscribers. If you are interested di-
rectly or indirectly in Idaho agriculture, do
not miss this unusual opportunity, but send
your order in now.
THE IDAHO FARMER Is the one farm
paper which is devOting itself exclusively
to the farming activities and interests Of
Idaho. 1t has a big organization gath
ering the news of importance to farmers
dairymen, fruitgrOwers, stOckraisers and
pOultrymen; and 1t has the backbone to at
tack wrongful methods and combinations and
bad legislation, and support honest leaders
and beneficial measures. We are confident
that our readers will congratulate us on our
being able to make this splendid and at
tractive clubbing offer.

eXpedient should be attempted before
bread tickets are issued. The fact that
we are sparing no pains in the use of
such expedients does not minimize our
appreciation of the crisis with which
we are faced
I'VE are not sitting down and ex-
pecting America to win the war for
us. We are making every possible ef-
fort to decrease our food consumption
and to increase our food production,
but in the latter case we are handi-
capped as compared with America, be-
cause practically all our able-bodied
men are serving with the navy or the
army, making munitions or engaged in
other essential war work. The nation
only learns the degrees of necessity
as a war such as this progresses. First
it was men. then it was munitions. and
now it is food and ships to carry IT.
With the cooperation Of the American
people we shall come through all right
though our people may have to eat
even less bread than is now rationed
