HOOVER RULING BANS
BAKERS FANCY BREAD
Must Conserve Sugar and Short
ening or Have License
Revoked

Bakers of fancy breads In Philadelphia
and other cities probably will be forced out
CT business by the latest ruling Of tho Fed
eral Food Administration. The bakers not
only will have to stop selling fancy breads.
but any who offers for sale any bread other
than that prescribed by Herbert Poover will
have his license revoked and his business
closed
If any baker attempts 10 de- business with
years imprisonment, or both.
The whole purpose of the Governments
latest ruling. according to officials OF the
food administration, is to conserve sugar
and shortening. 1t hits makers Of sweet
and fancy breads badly
For the present the food administration
announces there nil be no restrictions on
the baking Of cSts, but the sweet roll is
doomed to meet thu fate of the sugar-coated
and fancy bread. Rolls may be sold when
weighing from one to three ounces but they
must be made of the standardized bread
dough, and the baker cannot add any sugars
or fats to them during the process Of baking
or after they are baked
Officials of the food administration said :
"One Of the great features Cf the food
control act distinguishing it from almost
every other statute is that II gives the Gov
ernment power TO take drastic action with
out appealing to the courts. We refuse to
grant license to a man who does not agree
to abide by the regulations, and then It Is up
to him to institute any legal action he de-
sires. He becomes the plaintiff instead of
| the Government, and while he is prosecuting
| his suit his business is idle. We could not
enforce food control, IL required to prove
our cases in court before being permitted to
take action. Tho war would be over in
many cases"

RED CROSS VOLUNTARY

Giving money to the Red Cross
war fund, which is to take care OF
our soldiers in Europe and their
families here at home while they are
absent, is absolutely voluntary, the
same as voting. 1t is privilege
the same as voting. 1t is an act OF
citizenship, the same as voting.
So far this nation does not need
to impress the pocket books Of citi-
zens. 1t did not need to conscript
men, but that was the best way from
everybody's point of view
Give freely to the Red Cross, but
do not feel that you are constrained
to help. The committee in your
will estimate your fair
share and tell you what it is If they
have time to look you up. This Is
so you will have basis to go on.
You will know what amount would
be about right. You may give more
or Lessor not at all. This Is up
to the American peoples pleasure,
their sense of duty, and their re-
sponse is entirely voluntary.

OCEANS OF PEONIES

There is a Blackfoot woman on
the way to fame via peonies. You
can add to her fame and fortune
if you follow our example and sug-
gestion. We want to tell you more
about it.
Down at Denver''20 years ago a
woman inherited a widows title, a
big debt and piece Of land that
people said was' N. G., which. being
interpreted, meant no good. But she
showed them thing or two; she set
it to flowers and shrubs and made a
nice drive out there-three miles.
People kept the drive so hot going
and coming to enjoy her park, that
Denver helped her to fame and for
tune by building the car line out
to it. She charged an admission fee
and paid of her inheritance of debts.
Then she made the park greater and
grander. She is a happy old lady
now, and one of Denver's heroines.
All Denver has been better and
nobler for having her flowers and
helping to make her famous.
Blackfoot will be better and nobler
IL it takes its chautauqua visitors out
to Smiths nursery to see the peonies.
You can't buy many for few days
because there are not great quanti-
ties of them out in bloom, but each
hot day will open wealth Of them,
and by next week you can buy
enough to swim in. Now folks, re-
member what we told you about
fame and fortune, happy old folks,
heroes and noble character, and get
In on 1t going and coming.

LITTLE GUN DRAMA
AT SHEEP CAMP

A complaint was filed Wednesday
with the county authorities against
la young man, Robert Maxfield
charging assault with deadly wea.
pom upon William Twitchell. Farley
Price and Charlie Fisher are security
for Maxfield, who Is moving some
sheep for Mr.. Price, on the reserva-
ton l5 miles east or Fort Hall.
1t seems that Twitchell's wagon
was stuck in a mud hole and Max
field did not want to try pulling
him out with just saddle horse.
Twitchell's actions towards Maxfield
led him to expect rough handling,
and he went after a rifle, which cool
ed the argument. There was a Mex
ican at the camp. His part was po-
tential. He didn't do anything but
he might have.
The complaint was filed but the
not served. There will be
a trial over the affair. Young Max
field is Bingham county boy and
has no reputation whatever for being
4 gun-man.

CHAUTAUQUA AUDIENCE
ENJOYS THE TRUTH

Arthur Walwyn Evans, first lec-
turer of the chautauqua week, told
us some bald truths boldly, and we
liked him for 1t. He is a young
man, tall, graceful and strong. His
English accent is a pleasure. He
had snap. His favorite word of
punctuation was "Sir.'
OF course, he pretended to fear
that his sour truths might ruffle us.
He said apropos Of our braggartness
as people:
What the average American
needs to do'is to pick a few feathers
from the wings Of his Imagination,
and put them in the tail of his
Judgment. In other words. he needs
a little less flight and little more
balance"
Why should this not strike the
right spot? We all approved. We
all said: II know some just such
fellows"
DR.. Evans is a rapid, continuous,
word-picture speaker, He showed us
England waging war, Canada raising
volunteers, France and the trenches,
Italy. The spirit of Europe has al
ways been, he said: "WeIl watch
you, and you better watch u.s.
Nobody in the audience could
guess what word would best define
America. "Fraternalism, with al
capital F." said DR.. Evans, "is the
distinctive thing that America means
to me-" He drew comparisons, and
all OF them showed that of all the
other qualities Of a country, liberty,
democracy. ETC., 1t is in fraternalism
we stand alone, first.
