disloyalty, refuses to help conserve

1t is not enough that woman
Is now saving all the food she can
by economy. The material thing Is
that she should save the particular
kinds of food that are needed in
order that our soldiers and our al
lies may win the war. There are
only a few foods that the govern
ment is asking women to conserve
to help win the war. They are
wheat, meat, fats, and sugar. Women
are asked to save these things be-
cause the world supply of them is
short, and our fighting men must
have them from us or 70 hungry
and lose heart in the fight. These
foods are compact. Therefore we
can ship more Of them In our limited
number of ships than we could of
anything else. They possess high
nutritive value-much higher than
other foods.
The government has conscripted
the nations manhood for the war.
1t will not hesitate, IL the women
of America fail of their duty, TO con-
script food for the forces Of democ-
racy in the field.

a number Of them were caught in
between the Germans and British
when the. Teutons made their great
counter-attack a short time ago. So
far we have record of thirteen men
wounded, altho first and subsequent
reports states that some were killed
and others captured. The engineers
somewhere behind the British
'front.' have recently suffered addi-
tional casualties. This time several
aerial bombs dropped in a town
where the Americans were quart
cred. But those things are to be ex-
pected in a war where flying ma
chimes are used and we begin to
realize that there is no absolutely
safe place anywhere near the front,
for bombs are no respectors of per-
sons. Before this time next year
our own airmen will be dropping
missiles of death upon the Germans
and there are those who believe that
the war will be decided in the air.

THE WORST KIND OF Stacker

A tabulation of the responses by
women who were invited to sign
food-pledge cards would make rather
interesting reading. They disclose
the fact that despite the dilligent
campaign Of education that has been
conducted thru the newspapers and
otherwise an unbelievable number of
women do not yet comprehend what
this campaign of food conservation
means.
In one locality, for instance, about
so per cent of those who refused
to sign would give no reason for
their refusal. Several said they
would sign If they were shown
good reason for so doing; others
simply said "they didn't care to-"
few didn't believe 1t would do any
good; some wouldn't let anyone
tell them what to eat; "some didn't
have time to bother with it," and
considerable number said they
were saving all they could anyway.
Those who confessed they knew of
no reason for signing need enlight-

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
ASK FOR RAISE IN PAY

With the Adamson law still fresh
in the minds of the people of the
United States the announcement
comes that the railroad brotherhoods
have made an additional demand for
an increase in wages of 40 per cent.
The Adamson law carried an in
crease in wages of approximately 20
per cent and If the new increase is
granted the result will be a wage
increase to these aristocrats Of the
labor world of 65 per cent within
a period of less than two years.
In addition to the demands now
being made by the railroad brother
hoods an additional demand comes
from the Switchmen's Union of
America, an organization composed
Of some 10000 switchmen not af-
filiated with the brotherhoods, but
with the American Federation of
Labor, in which a demand is made
for an increase Of 5 per cent.

PLANS MADE TO
CARE FOR WOUNDED

The receiving hospital for United
States soldiers brought back from
Europe, to be established at Staten
Island, N. Y, will have a capacity
of $500 beds. This marks the be-
ginning of a comprehensive plan for
the care of soldiers who are disabled
in the line Of duty. 1t will be used
only for distribution.
From the Staten Island institu-
tion men will be transferred to gen.
eral or special treatment hospitals,
sites for which are now being select
ed thruout the country. Whenever
possible. injured soldiers will be sent
to places near their own homes.
They will be fitted for trades to
which they are adapted, and at the
time of discharge the government
will assist them in returning to their
proper places in industry.

dealer who was not there and who
does not comprehend the spirit OF
the undertaking will find himself SO
unpopular that he will have to get
milne to hold his trade. The dealer
who seeks to take advantage and
win trade by operating on the old
plan would be acknowledging his
lack of layalty, and if he persisted
in 1t, would be subject for investi
cation as to his citizenship, os there
will not be much quibbling about OBJ
serving the cash and carry system.
Reliable people who pay their bills
out of a monthly pay check will
probably be ale to borrow money at
the banks, and employers are re-
quested to change from monthly to
weekly pay days so far as they can.
People who have no steady income
will find 1t more difficult to meet
+, the daily demands, and every in
dustry will do what it can to help
get the new system to working
smoothly. There is no desire to in
fiict hardships on anybody, and an
analysis Of the situation indicates
that few people will feel the pinch
seriously excepting those whose
record for reliability is not good, and
the public have always been hamper
ed by them and their dishonest
methods.
An amusing incident occurred in
the POcatellO convention when some
retail dealer got the floor and asked
the wholesalers what they were gaSi
ing to do to cut out unnecessaryeex-
penses. He said they keep Sfock
OF travelling statesmen ON the rdhd to !
poster the retailers for orderk for
goods, and If the wholesalers would
send all these parasites to Nhe
trenches and let the retailers have4
a chance to do something besides
listen to them and their stories and
jokes, the retailers would be able
to get along with even less clerks.
The audience applauded, and he con-
tinued, I'VE have been letting our
boys and our clerks go into the
army, and it is all right. We will
close up shop and go ourselves If
we are needed, but if all these para
sites called drummers were rounded
up and sent to the front there would
not be any immediate need for the
active dealers. (Applause) l go to
my store early in the morning and

1t Is Up To You Now

AS part of the national economy
of materials and labor, Idaho dealers
have been asked by Idaho's food
commissioner to adopt the cash basis
and discontinue the practice of oper-
ating delivery wagons in cities and
towns. At a convention of two or
three hundred dealers assembled at
Pocatello last Friday it was dis
cussed and agreed to and the first
! day of January is to mark the be-
ginning of the new methods.
The purpose of the change Is to
relieve the bookkeepers and delivery
men for other work, to place the
city people on a level with the coun-
try people in purchasing and SER
vice, to make every mans dollar as
good as anybody's else, and to re-
duce the volume of purchases to
what seems to be absolutely needed.
The theory is that people who are
buying on account are disposed to
be wasteful. People who have
delivery system abuse the privilege
and buy in small dribs that keep the
delivery working in useless trips.
The average person who has grown
accustomed to the delivery system
does not realize how much useless
work is occasioned by their short
sighted ways lof buying, and when
they have to go into the stores and
buy supplies they will study care
fully, buy conservatively and stop
the waste of goods and labor. Most
of the families in towns have child
rem who car carry or haul the goods
to the house, and in this way the
children can be releasing men for
other service. The government
wants thousands of bookkeepers and |
the dealers can dispense with enough
to make difference in the supply !
OF war business.
The dealers of southern and east
ern Idaho composed the convention,
and discussed every feature of the
business until they were satisfied,
and the vote in favor of the change
was practically unanimous. The re-
quest was entitled to be complied
with merely because it came from
The food commission to help win the
war, but the convention went about
It's deliberations in democratic
spirit to find out the reasons why
this would be better method of

urn was shown the reasons and con-
vinced. The best of feeling prevail

southeast will go on the war footing
IN this respect. 1t was a patriotic

sons why it should be done, the peo-

leaders. will put an added burden

or a total of 100000, O,OOO-without
including the total of the switch
mems demands.
The railroads have been given un-
til December 81 to comply. 1t is
evident that the brotherhood leaders,
anticipating the agitation in form
of small increase in freight rates,
are planning to get all things in
readiness to take for their own uses
the lions share of it.
Between the upper mill stone of
labor demands and high costs for
supplies Of every character and the
neither mill stone of fixed freight
rates-rates under which they must
meet wartime expenses with peace
time revenues-the railroads are in
fair way to have the life crushed
