Verdict Not Guilty

Thursday afternoon the jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty
in the case of Theodore Peterson
and Leo Olson, two young farmers
of the Ahsahka section, charged
with the stealing of two horses
from Henry Meyer of Cameron.
The defendants contended that they
had taken up the horses as estrays,
placed them in the pasture as such
and had gone to Orofino to adver-
tise them when they were arrested,
The men were again arrested on
warrant charging them with the
theft of a horse from Newton
Frazer. 1t appears the Frazer
horse had also been placed in the
pasture with the others.

The Interned Germans

Some purchasers of Liberty Loan
bonds, who have read exaggerated
reports of the treatment accorded
by the United States authorities to
the German civilians interned in
this country, have written to the
Treasury Department protesting
against the use of any of the money
raised by the Liberty Loan in
"pampering" these alien enemies.
These interned German civilians
are not prisoners of war and are
not under the jurisdiction of the
War Department or the Treasury
Department, but by the provisions
of our immigration laws are placed
under the jurisdiction of the De-
partment of Labor and comprise
officers and crews of the German
merchant vessels seized by the
United States, and other German
civilians. Their deportation, which
ordinarily would take place, is i'm
practicable in view of the interna-
tional situation.
These aliens receive no compensa-
tion from the Government except
such as is allowed them for work
actually performed. and the wages
paid them are not exorbitant at all.
In fact, if from their labor and
other sources they receive more
than a moderate amount of money
a month, all in excess of reason
able amount for their care and
comfort is withheld from them and
placed to their credit in the postal
savings banks or some other safe
disposal made of it.
The Department of Labor also
officially states that these aliens are
not allowed an excessive amount Of
food, but three meals day of plair
but thoroughly palatable, substan
tial food are given each. There i
no waste in these detention camp
and the same measures of econom.
and conservation are being practices
which are being urged upon ever.

What Becomes of Sacks?

Western potatoes are almost
without exception marketed in
sacks. Before the war these sacks
were but a small item in potato
growing. At present the container
is one of the big factors in the
price of sack of potatoes. This
year Idaho's potato crop will require
in the neighborhood of three mil
lion sacks. What becomes of these
sacks after the potatoes are consum-
ed is question of much economic
interest. Previous to the world
war western grain was shipped to
Europe in sacks. The handling OF
these sacks usually stretched them
to such an extent that they were Of
no further value as grain retainers,
but they were collected, baled and
returned to this country by the ship
load under the name of Liverpool
returns" or centals. These sacks.
the past few years. could be pur-
chased for potato growers at four,
five or six cents each. When the
war developed thousands of miles
of tIenches, rifle pits, and under
ground Notifications, these sacks
were diverted to more immediate
use. Untold millions Of them have
been filled with soil and piled in
rows in front of the trenches. IL
has been reported that silks and
, even oriental rugs have been used
, on the Turkish front in trench con-
: struction.

the women got the right to vote. In California it was passed by the same legislature which voted for the wo- man suffrage amendment to the state constitution.
 "Only last fall was federal child labor law put through at Washington and signed by President Wilson-af- ter being fought tooth and nail for years. .
 "In Georgia the law has permitted children to work in the mills at the age of nine In Alabama the mini mum age was thirteen.
 "The Massachusetts legislature last spring voted down the eight-hour law for women workers. There are lots of factories in Massachusetts.
 "In the state of Maine bill to lim- it women's labor to fifty-four hours 8 week was submitted b ythe legisla- ture to a referendum vote of the men and was defeated. In Colorado the eight-hour law for women was sub- mitted to referendum of men and wo- men together, and carried. This seems to indicate that it makes diff ference whether the voter is on the outside looking in or on the inside looking out.'
