their equipment to Idaho county, will
ask that representatives of the dredge
concerns be sent to the Salmon river to

county to Frank Wyatt. Mr.. Cone is
not certain whether he will return to
Idaho. Frank Sotin, also of Whitebrd.

CRANCEV|uE'S HOSPITAL WILL

effort to have the institution in running
order by October l, but there were many
factors beyond my control which pre-
vent us from doing SO. The repairs and
alterations on the old school building
alone ran well along into October
Worse than that, it was impossible to
get any equipment here that early,
though practically all the orders had
been placed early in September.
1.-THE delay in receiving the equip
ment was caused by the fact that prac-
tically every big manufacturer of hospi-
tai supplies is now working on contracts
for the United States. Mr.. Lingo told
me that his Tacoma manufacturers had
to finish government contract for
beds and cots before they could make
any beds for me. This part of the
equipment arrived Tuesday, and there
is no doubt but that everything will
have arrived in few days more. It

things set up and in their proper places,

every day.
plans are now being made for the
evening of the 18th, which will be a
combination opening and shower.
The public is cordially invited to visit
the hospital on that evening and take a
look at the institution. Friends who
desire to show their good win toward
the hospital may bring with them small
articles that might prove useful in a
hospital. There are some things as hand
towels, bath towels, tray cloths, nap
kins and even clean old linen rags, of
which a hospital never has an over
supply. 1t is not advisable that things
of this sort should be elaborate or rep
resent a great deal of hand labor; the
palmer the better, a. there is an unusual
amount of wear and tear in a hospital
and such articles soon wear out Dona-
tions of canned or preserved fruit. jel-
lies, jams and ma Fmalades, are very
welcome also.

MEAT DEALERS IN GRANGEvIILE
NOTICE NO SLUMP IN BUsI-
NESS ON TUESDAY.
SAME IS true WITH BAKERS
Huge Quantities of Bread Turned Out
For Wednesday Trade, Despite
Wheatless Day Promise.

Although 600 persons in Idaho county
have signed food pledges, promising to
eat no meat on tuesdays and no wheat
ON Wednesdays, in order that our sol
dlers and our allies may be fed during
the coming winter, people of Grange
VILE are not generally observing their
pledges.
Meat dealers in Grangeville reported
no slump in business last Tuesday, de-
claring they sold as much if not more
meat than is customary ON TUESDAYS.
Dealers in bread asserted on Wednesday
that they were doing a big business, and
noticed no inclination on the part of the
public not to purchase bread on that
day.
Idaho to Exceed Quota.
Idaho, North Dakota and Louisiana,
the three states which carried out their
campaigns week ahead of schedule,
will exceed their quotas of signed
pledges, says a statement just issued in
Washington by Food Administrator
Hoover. The food administration is
much encouraged over the outlook for
the food pledge week, which ends Nov
ember 4, Mr.. Hoover asserts.
President Wilson, in statement is
sued Sunday, urged every home and
public eating place in the United States
to pledge its support to the food ad-
ministration and to comply with its re-
quests. His appeal marked the inau-
guration of family enrolment week,
during which everybody in the country
will be asked to become member of
the food administration in order to in
sure nationwide cooperation in food
conservation.
People Must Cooperate.
The president says that in no other
way than through this cooperation of
the people can the nation accomplish
its object in the war The statement
follows:
ssThe chief part of the burden of
finding food supplies for the peoples
associated with US in war falls for the
present upon the American people, and
the drain upon supplies on such a scale
necessarily affects the prices of our
necessaries of life.
HOur country, however, is blessed
with an abundance of foodstuffs, and
if our people will economize in their
use of food, providently eonfining
themselves to the quantities required
to maintain health and strength, they
will eliminate waste; and il they will
use of those commodities of which we
have "A surplus and thus free for ex-
port. a larger proportion of those re-
.quired by the world now dependent up
on us, we shall not only be able to ac-
complish our obligations to them, but
we shall obtain and establish reason
able prices at home.
Troops Shall Be Well Fed.
ITO provide an adequate supply of
food both for our own soldiers on the
other side of the seas and for the civil
populations and the armies of the allies,
is one of our first and foremost obliga-
tions; for if we are to maintain their
