BAKING CONTEST TO
Be HELD SATURDAY
Every Housewife Urged To Send In
Small Loaf of Bread-RuraI Clubs
In Charge of Affair.

On the last day of Home Products
Week Saturday, April 81, there will
be a bread baking contest held at
PetersOn's Hardware store under the
direction of the Rural Federated clubs.
Every housewife in the community
who makes good bread is asked to
send in a small loaf the only condi-
ton being that it must be made of
ldahome flour. Miss Mcmillan, in
charge of the cooking in the domestic
science department of the high school
has said that she will judge the bread.
The Twin Falls Milling e Elevator
company has offered three premiums
rs follows: First. five sacks of Ida
home flour; second, three sacks of
ldahome flour; third, one sack of Ida
home flour.
Those entering the contest are ask
ed to have their bread at the store
not later than D. m. and also
have wrapped with the loaf a
sealed envelope containing name and
address. The envelope will be num-
bered and corresponding numbers to
be placed upon the loaves.
The contest held last year was
great success, and it is the wish of
the club women that this years con-
test will be even more interesting.
The courtesy shown by Mr.. Peterson
in giving space and time for this af-
fair is much appreciated by the Fed

ton of the mementOes among Ameri-
can collectors is a duty.
The articles are divided into two
classes. The first embraces those
Washington has inherited through
five branches of the Washington fam
| lily; the other includes the relics col
lected during the last thirty-five years
by Washington and his father, the
late Major James Carroll Washing
ton.
In the first division are many ar
ticles of silver and tableware owned
by General Washington and used at
Mount Vernon; snuff boxes, writing
cases, the sword belt buckle that
Washington wore, shoe buckles, mon
ey scales and weights, candlesticks
which adorned Washington's desk at
Mount Vernon. whist counters used
by Washington his reading glass;
Martha Washington teaspoon and
money purse, the wedding ring of
Washington mother, WashingtOn's
gold seal and, among other articles,
the two solid silver cups used by
Washington throughout the Revolu-
tionary war.
Among the relics collected by the
present Washington are many busts
and statuettes, a magnificent hand
wrought solid silver head of General
Washington, the first bronze bust
cast from the model of WashingtOns
head and shoulders by Houdon and,
more important than anything elese,
Two portraits, one of which is the
only known portrait of Washington
mother, the other being a hitherto
unknown portrait of Washington by
Rembrandt Peale, both of which have
been examined and authenticated by
competent authorities.
The collection also contains some
exceedingly remarkable papers and
letters on the formation of the Con-
stitution of the United States The
proceedings of the Philadelphia con-
yention of 1887 were secret and all
its papers except its journals were
burned; most of the members des-
troyed their papers, and so it hap
pened that printed or written mater
ial regarding the work of the con-
stitutiOnal convention is exceedingly
rare
While the debates were in progress
two drafts of a proposed constitution
were printed secretly for the use of
the members and only three or four of
these are known. Both drafts are
in this collection having letters and
documents by Mason, Richard Henry
Lee, Edmund Randolph, and Edward
Rutledge, which set forth the objec-
ton to the ratification of the consti-
tuition which were held by these i'm
portant and eminent men, as we'll as
by Clinton of New York and Gerry
of Massachusetts.
Another extremely important item
is the original unpublished journal of
the convention, which was kept by
James McHenry, a delegate from
Maryland. The existence of this Jour |
nal has been entirely unknown to
collectors; indeed it was not suppos-
ed that there was any journal of the |
except that kept by Madi- |
son.

GRE|SHABER SAYS
CASE M|SREPRESENTED
Declares That He Did Not Abuse The
Flag and Is Ready To Fight For
Uncle Sam in Regulars.

Henry Greishaber of Bull in speak
ing to a Times reporter yesterday
said that the recent incident" in
Bull in which he got into an alterca-
ton with some of the members of
Company X a couple of weeks ago,
was the result of Misrepresentation
of what he said, and that he had not
reflected on the United States, its
army or its cause. He says that he is
willing to go to war if called upon,
but prefers to join the regular SER
vice rather than the national guard,
and that it was a Misrepresentation
of the last statement that caused the
trouble, which, he says, was not as
serious as represented by the Bull
press.

Shoulder Straps
Can't Run Lathes

"Action must be taken at once IN
America to eliminate the fictitious
value of shoulder straps in nun,ion
manufacture. Experienced engineers
and works managers are the men who
should decide upon specifications,
manufacture and inspection.
"The abolition of military titles and
insignia for civilian work is step
toward making the world safe for
democracy.

without due elaboration. But we be-
lieve that truth in this matter is
more important than the personal
feelings of well-intentioned officials
whose duty it is to decide on specif-
cations, but who are incapable OF
coming to decision.
Months after war has been de-
clared-months after the type Of our
rife has been determined-it is a
crime against our boys who will bear
rifles at the front to permit American
rifle makers at home to pass week
after week playing checkers and

Plant Practically
Closed Down

Many Of the shops were shut down.
In others only part of the machinery
was in operation. Employees in sew
eral of these told The Tribune re.
porter that they were engaged in
making sporting guns and equipment.
The crucibles in the casting shops
were barely warm to the touch. Three
men were found in one of the shops
who said they were boring Enfield
barrels. An employe stated that these
guns were being put together for ex-
perimental purposes only.
A man in touch with the situation
at the factory made the following
statement:
AT the outbreak OF the European
war the British government was
using the Enfield rifle. 1t was orig
inaily called the Lee-Enfeld. and
dates back to about 1908. Active use
of the rife at the front developed
the fact that Germany had more
powerful weapon. Certain changes
were necessary IN the construction
Of the gun so that il would develop
greater power.

English army should be kept sup

"Delay Not Serious"
Says Croz:er; Sees Hope
In "Interchangeability"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Most OF
the charges made by The Tribune this
morning with regard to the rife short
age were admitted to be true by Cen
oral Crozier and other officials of the
Ordnance Bureau of the War Depart
ment to-day. Their defence is that the
situation is not serious, that eveH man
will have a modern rife before he goes
"a France, and that the delay in start
ing the production Of rifles will be
more than COMPENSATED fcr by such
factors a. the interchangeability Of
rife parts.
He authorized the following state
ment:
any attention has been called 10 pub
lished reports that there is a shortage
OF rifles at the environments, and tnst
three rife manufacturing concerns have
been idle during the summer. when
they might have been engaged in man
ufacting rifles.
Making Preparations
These arms companies have not.
been idle. but have been making ex-
tensive preparations for turning out a
rifle which would give US both reasona-
bic degree of interchangeability OF i'm
portanc parts and uniform ammunition.
Two Of them have begun making de-
liveries Two days ago the deliveries
of these three factories and the two
government ones were 1900 rifles per
day. The deliveries now are more
than 1900 per day, and the deliveries
will progressively increase. The third
company, engaged until recently on
British contracts. is practically ready
10 begin deliveries.
IL may also say that whenever a sol
der is ready to go TO Europe that is.
when he is trained and equipped in
every other way a modern rife will
be ready for him.

Navy League Women
Won't Aid the Army

Local members Of the Comforts Com

terday against the announcement by
Mrs. James Carroll Frazier, national
chairman of the committee, that here
after the sweaters and comforts knit
ted by the committee would be donated
to the army, instead of to the navy.
Mrs. Herbert l.. Satterlee and other
members of the New York section of
the committee, in an indignation meet
ing yesterday, voted TO have nothing to
do with the army. They passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, The Comforts Committee
Of the Navy League was organized for
the purpose OF providing comforts for
the men of the navy, and personal eff
forts and funds are given for that pur-
pose. the executive committee feels that
our work for the navy requires all our
energies, and is not completed, nor will
it be completed until the end OF the
war. Therefore, be 1t
Resolved. That We will not follow
the suggestion of the Comforts Com
mittee in Washington. To undertake
to knit for the army at this time would
be unwise. We also feel that il would
be encroaching upon the department OF
the Red Cross, which we do not wish
70 do"
