woman suffrage in emphatic utter
ances at massmeeting here tonight
Mr.. Root presided, presenting Mrs
James Wadsworth, Jr, president OF
the National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage. Mr.. Root said:
1T is unfortunate that we should be
compelled to turn aside from our eff
forts toward making our country vic
torious over that cruel. brutal and
arrogant enemy which does not hesi-
tate to murder women and children
and which seeks to destroy the liber-
ties of the world. in order to have
controversy over the question of wo-
man suffrage.
But the subject is thrust upon us
1t can not be allowed to goby default
and these ladies who are not seeking
n place in politics, who leave their
homes and have high ideals of WON
anhood have bucxled on their armor
IF discussion and are determined thar
the question shall not go by default
II could not come here and intro
duce them to you if I did not sympa
thize with them. 1 am opposed to the
granting of suffrage to women. J

project many years ago, and time. far

SOLDIERS FAMILIES
AMERICAN RED CROSS BEGINS
TRAINING AN ARMY OF
STEP FATHERS AND
MOTHERS.
Aid VIII Run Gamut of Family AZ
fairs, From Giving of Legal or
Medical Advice to Keeping Up In
surance and Caring for Mortgage.
By GEoRGE MARTIN.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent J
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The
American Red Cross has begun train
ing an army of stepfathers and
mothers for the families of tho
country's fighting men at the front,
it was learned today.
The idea was recently announced.
The plan is now in progress of exc
cution. Thousands of men and WON
en- are being recruited to take up the
six weeks course which will fit them
to man the domestic listening posts
in every city and town in the coun-
try.
Seventy-five thousand soldiers
families will have been aided in the
conduct of their personal affairs by
these Red Cross helpers during the
first year of the war, it was estimat-
ed today by the director general Of
Frank Persons.
VIII Run Family Gamut.
The aid will run the gamut of fam
lily affairs, from the giving of legal
or medical advice to keeping up the
insurance and seeing that the mort
gage is not neglected. The Red Cross
experts will even assist financially In
bridging some of the more CHASTITY
chasms of unavoidable debt. This
help will take the form of tempo
rary loans.
THE problem of financing depend
ent families outright, however, said
the Red Cross, "Is too big a prob
lem. 1t should be cared for by the
government. When the soldiers and
sailors return from the war said
Director General Persons the fam
lilies entrusted to the care of the
Red Cross should be found to have
maintained, as far as is humanity pos
sible, the essential standards of home
life.
viii Require Much Thought.
''This work will demand more than
a grant of money or a temporary ref
erence to a doctor, lawyer, or some
other adviser. 1t will frequently re-
quire a long continued acquaintance
with the family, !. a systematic under
Standing and appreciation of its
ideals. its ability to attain them, the
obstacles in the way, and the appli-
cation of a radical common sense
psychology of stimulating and en-
couraging the family to surmount its
difficulties and achieve success.
The Red Cross has established in
stitutes in conjunction with twenty
or thirty universities throughout the
country where six weeks of intensive
training will be given to those volun-
.eer warriors who wish to enlist in
it's service.

RED CROSS OPENS FIRST
OF AMERICAN CANTEENS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Sept. 27.-The first
chain of canteens which the Red
Cross is establishing was opened Il
Jew nights ago at town within
hearing of the artillery fire. The
American women in charge planned
the opening night to coincide with the
departure of the American engineers
for the front to take over the opera
tion of an important section of rail-
road. These men were the first to
get hot coffee. soup and sandwiches
from the canteen before their long
night ride cranped in box cars.

Law COAEPELs DESTRUCTION
OF ALI NOXIoUs WEEDS

The seed growers OF Idaho aided
in bringing about the enactment Of
weed control measure, House Bill
No. 122. ct the last session of the
legislature. When put In operation
this act will benefit and protect ev-
cry farmer and landowner. It re-
quires that weeds, designated as nox-
ious, must be destroyed on all agri-
cultural land, ditch banks, and rail
road rights-of-way in all agricultural
districts Of the county.
If the county commissioners fail
to enforce this act, ten resident free
holders of the county may petition
and compel them to do SO. Failure
to comply with the orders Of the com
missioners regarding the control Of
the noxious weeds is a misdemeanor
and is punishable by fine. II any
persons fail to comply with the or
ders, the commissioners can have the
necessary work done. The tented
cost of destroying these noxious
weeds is charged against and collect
ed from the owner of the land in the
same manner as general taxes.
In this time of the world need
we will be unpatriotic If we are con.
tent with less than the maximum
production of all of our farm crops
Weeds are very responsible for great
decreases in both yield and quality
The annual loss to the agricultural
industry of the United States, due tc
weeds alone, totals many millions
Weeds use moisture, plant food, and
space that should increase the pro
duction of economic crops.
Now is the time to get after the
weeds. All badly weed infested ag
ricultural districts should be brought
to the attention of the county com
missioners. With the aid of the com
missioners, farmers and every per
son interested in better farming anC

ELIMINATE THE sLACKERs
FROM THE DAIRY HERD

Every dairyman should, thru mem
bership in a cow-testing association
or by making the weighings and
tests himself, make an extra effort
this year to find out just what each
of his cows is producing in terms
of pounds of butterfat. II the herd
contains "slackers" It is important
that they be discovered very soon
and dealt with as they deserve. Es-
pecially when feed is at such a pre-
MUM an animal which cannot pro-
duce milk and butterfat enough to
make fair returns on the feed she
consumes has no place in a dairy
herd. The feed is needed for the
individuals which can economically
turn it into milk and milk products
for human consumption. Care
should be taken however that no an
imals are discarded which can prof
itably add to the nations food sup
ply. The dairy cow produces one OF
the nations most important foods.
Her great ability to add to the ma
tion's food supply should be more
fully appreciated. No dairy animal
should be sent to the block until she
has been proven absolutely unable
to produce butterfat economically
1t is Just as great a mistake under
present food conditions to sell FOR
meat dairy animal which can pro
duce many times her value in milk
as to retain those whose low produe.
ton can only result in losses. Cul-
ling a herd is important but as a
basis for such culling we must have
figures which either condemn 81
commend an animal in terms OF
pounds OF butterfat produced.

BILE.
Another law. known as house bill
No. 81, was enacted to aid in the OBJ
tanning of this agricultural data, and
more particularly concerns the
threshermen and seed hullers. 1t
reads as follows:
Section l. Any person, firm, cor
poration or association prior to en-
gaging in the business of threshing
or hulling grain, seeds or other
crops within the state of Idaho shall.
annually and prior to the beginning
of such business each year, procure
from the director of farm markets
license to engage in said business,
and said director shall issue the same
upon payment to him by the appIi-
cant of license fee of one dollar
$1,000. All license fees so collect
ed shall be accounted for by the
director of farm markets and burned
into the state treasury, as received
The state treasurer shall credit all
funds so received to the office OF the
director of farm markets and the
moneys accommodating in said fund
from said license fees so collected
are hereby appropriated for the use
of the director of farm markets, and
he is hereby authorized to expend
said sums In the same manner as
other funds specifically appropriate
ed for the benefit of his office
Sec. 3. Amy person, firm, cor
noration or association engaged in
the business of threshermen or seed
huller under the provisions of this
act shall keep such brief, simple
records throughout the season as
may be required by the director OF
farm markets, showing the grain and
seed of each kind threshed, when
and for whom, and shall report the
same to the director of farm mar
kets, when called for upon blanks to
be furnished by the director of farm
markets.
Sec. 8. Any person. firm, cor
poration or association violating any
of the provisions of this act shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor."
This will require on the part of
threshermen and seed-hullers, the
pay VI Ou5 IUI
license. and the devotion of small
amount of time and trouble in addi-
ton, In order to secure this much
needed information.
We realize that this requirement
IS, to few, annoying, but the good
% he derived is so far-reaehing that
the returns will exceed in value to
al concerned, the little cost and
trouble required.
We feel sure all threshermen and
1eed-hullers win cooperate with the
farm markets department in secur-
ing this data.
On application. accompanied by
the required fee, this office will is
sue license and provide a small form
for taking and keeping this informa-
/ ton. together with blank for you to
fill out and send to us after the
threshing and hulling is over.
