MUCH EVIDENCE
AGAINST THOSE
BOARDING FOOD
Attorney for Nebraska Admin
istrator viii Decide What
Action is to Be Taken
Against VioIat0rs.

Ed P. Smith, attorney for the Ne
Draska food administration, is going
over the evidence against a number
of retail grocers in the state who have
been selling sugar and other staple
commodities in quantities greater
than permitted by the federal food
administration under the anti-hoard-
ing provision.
Some of the violations are said to
be fragrant. One retailer in town in
the state is distributing hand bills
over the town asking people to come
in and get his prices on l00-pound
lots of sugar, and is selling sugar in
l00-pound sacks, though the govern
ment's regulation is that anyone hav-
ing more than a 60-day supply OF
sugar or any other staple on hand is
guilty of boarding, the seller equally
liable with the buyer.
In another part of the state flrm
which has never done grocery busi-
ness and whose business is entirely
foreign to the handling of sugar, has
in some unaecountable manner OBJ
tanned large quantity of sugar, and
is selling it out in 100-pound sacks.
This case is also under investigation.
Reports Are Numerous.
The reports coming to the Office
Of Food Administrator Wattles OF
violations of the rules are numerous,
but have all been referred to Attorney
Smith, who is preparing to. give an
opinion as to what action should be
taken Immediately against alleged
guilty persons and concerns.
On account of the fact that the
sugar situation has eased Up some
what. the food administration is now
sanctioning sales of sugar UP to rs
pounds to a single purchaser, Up to
a week or two ago the dealers were
urged not to sell more than 81 worth
to any person at a time.

Bakers Soon Will Have
To Standardize Loaf

Omaha may expect to get bread for
6 or cents pound after a while,
il the bakers here do as we'll as they
have Adone in some cities throughout
the country. Information contained
in a government chart on wheat,
-four and bread prices Of the coun-
try shows that, although millers Of
Minneapolis are now getting $l0.50
barrel for -four, bakers in some sec
tions who are selling for cash, and
make no deliveries, are able to put
out full pound loaf for from 6 to 7
cents.
These are the bakers who have
standardized their loaf.
On December 10 all bakers
throughout the country are required
to standardize their loaf, as this is
one of the requirements under the
bakers license. Under this require
ment bakers must after that date
makes loaves Of 10 ounces, "a ounces,
or multiples thereof

COMMITTEE MEN ARE BUSY
FOR BINGHAM COUNTY ROADS

The civic sleague committee on
good roads, authorized at the last
business meeting of the league, met
last week to put the work of boost
ing the bonds on moving basis.
They intend It shall not be thru any
fault of theif own If the county is
mot within a few years well bound
together by permanent hard road
H. C. Tavey is chairman of the
general committee, and ]. H. Early,
secretary. They appointed the fol-
lowing newspaper men as a pub
aicity committee: Byrd Trego and J.
r.. Jones of Blackfoot; ]. "A. Toner,
of Aberdeen; and Joe Adams, OF
Shelley. ...,z -.s.,....
Mainly the roads contemplated will
run north and south, and east and
west thru the county, with feeders
branching out into the various settle
ments. The first value in these roads
will be making traffic easy both ways
thru the county. II.
The committeeman agreed at their
meeting that all roads of the county
should be placed in the care of three
commissioners aside from the cOun-
4y commissioners, so that no politics
may enter the question. These three
would find an expert road man and
put all road building in his charge.
He would be responsible to the three
commissioners only in the results he
produced.

WELL EQUIPPED WITH BRAINS
Nature Was by No Means Niggardly
When She Handed Feathered
Creatures Their Portion.

Naturalists have arrived at the con-
clusion that the brain in birds Is large.
in proportion to the body. If 1t Is adj:
mitted that intelligence depends upon
the weight Of brain, then the gold1nch
must be placed at the top of the list Of
birds; the brain weighs one-fourteenth
of its whole body. It must be remarked,
however, that attempts to draw con-
illusions as to the intelligence Of GER.
tain birds from u comparison Of the
weight of the brain with that Of the,
body have been considered futile. In,
man the brain forms from one-twenty-
second to one-thrty-third of the whole
body; In the canary, one-fourteenth
the sparrow, one-twenty-t1fth; the
chaffinch, one-twenty-seventh; the
redbreast, one-thirty-second; the black
bird, one-sixty-eighth; the duck,
one-two-hundred-and-fifty seventh; the
eagle, ndred-and-sixtieth
the goose, Observation-Disclosures
eth; the domestic hen, ore-four-hun-
dred-and-twelfth. BY some the prefer
naturally cunning raven is supposed to
be the most highly developed Of birds.
His courage is SO great that the eagle
respects 1t, and his intelligence pre-
vents him from getting into unseen
though suspected dangers.

Make q List.

Do you lie awake of nights thinking
Of what you are going to do tomor-
row, or Of what you have forgot today?
Lots Of women do, and it is sheer
waste Of nervous energy. Don't bother
your head worrying about the little
details that arise in the course of your
days work. Try the method Of maxi
ing a list. Keep a pad handy, whether
it Is on your desk, in your sewing
basket or on the kitchen wall. Each
time new task arises which you cam
not attend to Immediately write it on
the pad. Then in the course of the
day consult your pad, selecting the
most important thing to be done, the
thing that won't wait until tomorrow.
This saves lots Of worry. 1t saves
also such complaints as mother, you
never sewed that button on my coat"
or "Mary, did you pay that coal bill
that I asked you to attend to-" or II
thought you said you were going to
have waffies for supper tonight, moth
err" There is no use in cluttering the
memory with such details when PEN
Gil and paper will do the work.
In making dress the same metz !;
is to be recommended. Often In sew
ing half the nerve strain comes from
worrying over the details of finishing,
which you are apt to forget. Just get
out pencil and paper and jot down a
hook here and bit Of trimming there,
ETC., and get the annoyance off your
mind. So: e. .%

LETTUCE RAISED IN SPRING
For Best Results Plants Should De
Started In Hotbeds-For Fall
Crop Drill In Seed.

The reason for failure to get lettuce
to head properly Is probably too high
temperature. In outside garden
work head lettuce may be grown only
In the early spring and late fall. It
will not head during the heated sum-
mer period. ..~.. .
For best results in the spring, plants
should be started in greenhouses or
hotbeds and after. being we'll hard
ened off, set In the open at not less
than Pinch intervals as early as the
ground may be got into proper con-
dition. For the fall crop the seed
should be drilled in the rows where
the crop Is to mature, covering the
seed but lightly, and thinning out the
plants to the required distance after
termination is complete. In this case
the seed should not be sown until af.
ter the first Of August.

WOULD INFORM THE GERMANS

1t is generally believed that the
German people have been deceived
by their government and have been
made to believe, all thru the war,
that they are fighting a defensive
warfare and not war of conquest.
President Wilson's message to con-
gress, suggesting a declaration of
war, stated very plainly that it was
not to be a war against the German
people, but against the imperial Ger
man government in their imperial
ism. The German newspapers, under
the censorship of the government,
left out all SUCH matter when his
message was published in Germany.
Arrangements have been made by
the allies to have 100000 copies of
the presidents message distributed
over the German empire, by aero
planes, printed in the German Ian
guage, SO they may read and learn
the truth.

THE MUNICIPAL GOAT HERD

The suggestion of Mr.. Farmer to
have the weeds of the town cleaned
off this year by municipal sheep
herds, and the further suggestion by
Mr.. Gagon, that the tin cans, barrel
hoops, and quincy sacks be consume
ed by a municipal goat herd, now
has the endorsement of County Clerk
F. M. Fisher, who says that he has
seen the municipal sheep herd sue
cessfully operated in California, both
in town and among the fruit farms,
and he believes 1t can be made sue
cess at Blackfoot. He further states
that while he has not seen the goat
herd operated he has no doubt but
that Mr.. Farmers idea can be i'm
proved upon as suggested by Mr.
Gagon, and that the spirit of prog
ress can be applied successfully TIC
the goat herd and the tin cans, bar
rel hoops and quincy sacks. Mr..
Gagon offers the further improve
ment on the plan that the goat herd
ers be Instructed to water the goats
only at such times as they find Editor
Trego irrigating the strip of lawn
he has developed in the spot adjoin-
ing Sagehurst and by bringing the
goats to the place at irrigating time
they will drink the waste water and
save making any puddles in the
street.
R. W. Stevens, when interviewed
at his suburban farm relative to the
municipal sheep herd, stated that he
thought it would be entirely feasible
II they would close-herd the sheep
and also invest in sufficient amount
of perfume for. the animals 80 they
would not shed any odor. In fact,
he said, the herders ought to close
herd the odors themselves. He says
he has not read up for some time
on Mary's little lamb, but he does
