MADE OF
MERCHANT BY THE
ADMINISTRATION
Dealer Who Allowed Pota-
toes to Deteriorate in Rail
road Yards Ordered to
Close Dec. 81.

The United States food administra-
ton announces through Food Admin
istrator r.. F. Bicknell that Lester
Brothers. wholesale food handlers of
Newport News. Va, have been de-
prived of their license, and forbidden
to deal in any commodities covered by
the food control act. They have been
ordered to close their doors on Dec. 81.
The specific complaint brought out In
their hearing last Friday was that
Lester Brothers had refused consign-
ments of potatoes. allowing them 20
deteriorate in the freight yards and
incidentally add to railroad congcs-
tion.
James A. Ford, special attorney for
the food administration, was sent to
Newport News to investigate the COM
plants and to represent the food ad-
ministration at the hearing. In his re-
port he indicated that Lester Brothers
had been tempted by war conditions to
speculate in essential foodstuffs, pro-
fitting by unusual demands that had
arisen on account Of war activities In
that section. He recommended that
their license be revoked.
Their license. Mr.. Ford reported, had
not been secured until after they were
already under investigation. Food Ad-
ministration records show that Lester
Brothers were not licensed until Dec 6.
INVESTIGATION MADE.
One carload of onions they had
ordered from Minneapolis firm was
refused after third person, who had
contracted for them in the belief that
he could resell to the government, had
refused to carry out his part of the
contract. Lester Brothers. according
to the Investigator, could have dis
posed Of them at a small loss, in spite
Of the fact that the market had
dropped slightly Rather than shoulder
that loss. however. they threw them
back upon the consignors.
In another instance. it was shown al
the hearing, they had refused to ac-
cept five carloads of potatoes, which
were allowed to spoil. Mr.. Ford re-
ported that Lester Brothers, after
once refusing to accept the consign-
ment, had changed their decision anc
agreed to take them, later changins
again and allowing them to remain in
the cars. This. they claimed was be-
cause the railroad company had taken
possession of the goods and refused
delivery. The railroad. reported Mr.
Ford, denied the truth of this state
ment.

DECLARES WOMEN
NOT GOOD JURORS

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-"Woman's intui-
ton makes her unfit for jury service
she can't reason"
Lowell B. Smith of Sycamore, presi-
dent of the Illinois States Attorneys
association advanced that reason today
for opposing a proposed constitutional
change in the criminal law to allow
women service on juries.
They are too soft hearted and they
won't follow logical reasoning in a
trial." Smith declared.
But there would be more convic-
tons with women on juries," Smith
said, because they are more apt than
men to fond n woman guilty. But then
woman finds it hard to think a man
guilty"
Smith also advocated barring wo-
men attending from criminal trials.

TEACHERS OF IDAHO
HEAR ADDRESSfSbY
NOTED EDUCATORS
Session of the State Associa-
ton Well Attended-Con-
ferences to Be Held in In
terest of School Work.

Nearly 800 teachers are in attend
ance at the annual session of the Idaho
State Teachers association being held
in the high school auditorium. The
opening session was held Thursday
night and was largely attended by
teachers and the public generally to
whom an invitation was issued.
Two scholarly addresses were made,
DIR. Henry Suzzalo, president of the
University of Washington. speaking on
the topic of The Schools in the Max
ing of National Character" and DR..
Ernest H. Lindley. president of the
University of Idaho, speaking on the
subject of Wealth and the Power of
Men"
Mayor 8. H. Hays extended a well
come to the teachers to Boise which
was answered by j. E. Turner, super
intendent of the Payette schools and
president of the association. DR.. r. L..
Glase gave two vocal solos which were
greatly enjoyed.
SACRIFICES NEEDED.
DR.. Suzzalo in his address spoke fire.
quently concerning the war and the ne
cessity of organization to strike an eff
fective blow. He scored those who are
purely academic, pointed out that
there was such thing as trade dis
ease" and that many school masters
suffered from 1t. He emphatically
stated that in this great crisis If this
country was willing to sacrifice 2.000,-
600 of its best men, it's people should
be willing to sacrifice few thousand
traitors to win.
DR.. Lindley brought out the point in
his address that wealth was q thing
TO be sought and that no man could
have too much. He did not refer to
wealth in dollars and cents but rather
to the wealth which comes from
knowledge and education properly
used. He stated that IL 10 of the best
men in Boise were taken out and in
their places 10 scoundrels put in. the
difference would be felt quickly in the
depreciation Of real estate and raise
in insurance rates.
He declared that work was the best
remedy for nervous disorders and en-
phasized the need of doing something
worth while at the right time. His
address was greatly enjoyed.

FACE PUBLIC APOLOGY.

The Nez Perez county council of de-
Tense has forced public apology from
H. H. VAIL, formerly of Clifford. now
residing at Charleston, for circulating
untrue and disloyal reports against the
Red Cross. The particular report was
to the effect his wife had pinned note
TO the socks she knit for the Red Cross
showing it was she had knit them.
Later she received word from the par
ty receiving them-the socks had been
sold to him by a man in Alaska for
$3.50. During the Red Cross member
ship campaign conducted in Idaho the
past week solicitors heard many SINH
lar false reports. The Nez Perez coun-
ell of defense cited VAIL to appear be-
fore it and the following apology was
later authorized:
For making statements whose tend
ency Is to impede and obstruct the mil
ltary preparations OF the United States
while at war and particularly to re-
fleet upon the Red Cross, | make open
and public apology, and ! pledge my
word of honor in the future to refrain
from every act and utterance that
might have the effect of impairing in
the United States or obstructng any
of the civilian organizations that are
doing war work. Dated this 18th day
of December, 1917.

cally is that 1t has drawn the citizens
of Latah county closer together than
they have ever been before, says the
Star Mirror at Moscow. There is bet

again in the formation of the county
