BODY OF THE BOY IS
FOUND IN RIVER
Party From Hagerman Took Body
From Stream Sunday Evening-NC
Signs Of Violence.

There were no marks of bullets or
OF other violence on the body of Glenn
Hoffman, of Jerome, whose body was
recovered from the Snake river late
Sunday evening by a party from Ha-
german, after being in water two
weeks. The body had previously been
seen on several occasions, a point a
mile and a half below where the boy
entered the river, but it evidently was
held by eddies until Sunday Late
Sunday afternoon one of the Owsley
brothers saw it floating near Owsley' S
ferry and tried to recover it. The
body was caught in swirl and swept
downward. He then telephoned to
Sheriff Kendall, who telephoned to the
Jerome sheriff. Deputy Sheriff John
son telephoned to Hagerman where a
party was hastily organized. In the
meantime Sheriff Kendall called to-
gether a crowd here to go out, but
lust as they were ready to start word
came that the body had been secured
Last night Deputy Johnson tele-
phOned to Sheriff Kendall that an in
quist had been called yesterday after
noon and that a careful examination
OF the body indicated that no violence
had been used on the body before his
death. His body was in good condi-
ton except that the face was discolor-
ed from exposure and scratched by
the bushes along the bank. The in
quest adjourned until this afternoon il
order to examine the other boy whC
was with Glenn the day of his death
and William Mcdonald the man whC
was chasing him when he ran into thu
river Public feeling in Jerome has
become much less tense since it wal
learned that Mcdonald did not shoe
the boy or did not beat him to dealt
and throw him into the river to hid
a crime.
Speaking of the long search, Sher
iff Kendall said last night that tn
principal credit was due to the bo.
scouts, who although they did not re
cover the body were the first to dis
cover it on this side of the river, an
whose work was tireless and at al
times intelligent and active. The
did work that would have tired tn
strongest man.

FIVE THOUSAND DELEGATES IN
TOLEDO MAKE INROADS INTO
LOCAL GROCERY STOCKS.
WAR PROBLEMS DISCUSSED BY
LEADING BUSINESS MEN
DenunciatiOn of Those Who Store
Great Quantities of Needed Supplies
Is Voiced In The Gathering BY
Speaker.

TOLEDO O., May 22-Following a
series Of addresses on war problems
as they affect grocers. nearly five
thousand members of the Retail Gro
Gerry Association will attend a ban
quet in the Terminal auditorium to-
night that will make heavy inroads
on grocer supplies of the city which
is entertaining them in annual con-
vention. The days program includes
addresses by many noted educators
and leading business men Of the coun-
try.
Confronted with a good crisis, five
thousand retail grocers from all parts
of the United States met here yester-
day for their national four-day con-
vention to discuss the question Of
feeding a nation.
Not since the Civil War have retail
ers faced such grave problems Of
feeding a nation at war, with a food
shortage on one hand and steadily
soaring prices on the other, accord
ing to J. j. Ryan, secretary of the Ma
tiOnal Association of Retail Grocers.
One of the big questions for con-
sideration will be a campaign educa-
ton aimed at those individuals who
"lay in" an abnormal supply of food
in anticipation of a rising market
"We believe there is going to be a
shortage Of food if the war lasts any
length of time. and the idea of some
person storing a great quantity OF
groceries while others are in want, is
against our idea of patriotism" de-
clared George Sawkins, Toledo grocer
who will take prominent part in the
convention.
The grocers will seek fairer treat
ment of the small grocer who, be-
cause he buys in smaller quantities
is unable to compete with the larger
grocer.
Retailers are to make a desperate
effort to keep wholesale from boost
ing prices but admittedly they are
working against heavy odds. Govern
ment contracts and a ready market
abroad will compete with the retailers
who wish to hold prices to the mini
mum. The grocers say people cannot
afford to pay higher prices. The re
tailers. if they are unable to holt
wholesale prices down. will face the
necessity of pushing prices higher
steadily or quitting business, officials
say.
Delegates from European countries
who have usually attended, are pres
ent this year.

SUES TO COMPEL SALE OF
$1,000,000 WATER RIGHTS

The Twin Falls Land & Wat
er company, the old cOnstruc-
ton company, yesterday filed
suit in the federal district
court, to compel the Twin Falls
Canal Co. to sell, and the state
land board to approve of sales
of water rights for approx
mately 10000 acres of land un-
der the canal system. The
company was given authority
originally to sell rights for
100000 acres. 1t has sold
rights for 100000 acres and re-
fuses to sell more, being sus-
tanned by the land board. Some
water has been sold for school
land, but the present land
serted by Sweeley & Sweeley,
the attorneys for the plain
tiff that between 1000 and
5000 acres is subject to irriga-
ton by gravity and $4,000 sub
ject to irrigation by pumping
The plaintiff claims that the
canal company and board has
no power to withhold the wat
er rights where demanded. The
plaintiff has an interest in the
proceeds of all sales and the
total proceeds of sales would be
about $1,000,000.

Says "America's Resources, Once They

American commander, in an interview,
took exception to the statement which,
according to information received here

war on the western front will result in
a stalemate. He denounced this as an
effort to weaken American initiative.

with the spirit of aggressiveness and
victory.
