SPIKE GUNS THOSE.
WHOPlANNEDnOLD
Up HAY FOR SALE
Farm Market Bureau Acts
Promptly When Informed
Thousands Of Tons Ready
for Buyers.

The state farm market bureau be-
lieves that it has spiked the guns of
those who have attempted to create
the impression there was no hay for
sale in certain of the feeding sections
of this state, and it announces that
in the Riverside or Peaceful Valley
section 5000 tons Of hay can be Sc
cured at price of SIS per ton, while
in the Bull section there are also thou
sands of tons that can be secured at
the same price. 1t has been called to
the attention Of the department that
Washington, Oregon. Montana and
Wisconsin are short on hay and grow
ers in Idaho can secure SIS net on all
the bailed hay they desire to ship into
those states.
WOULD HOLD HAY BACK.
Reports reached the department that
an effort was being made to hold the
hay In the Riverside country, IL miles
above Homedale opposite the Nampa
ferry, until such time as 1t could be
purchased at possibly $12 tone Re-
ports had been given out that all of
the hay in that territory had been sold.
Growers could not understand why
there was not demand for their hay
until they discovered at their trading
centers that the impression prevailed
they had disposed of their crop. This
impression seemed to be general
When the situation was called to the
attention of the state farm market bu-
reau it decided that publicity of the
existance of the hay would probably
set at rest the erroneous reports and
call to the attention of stockmen the
exstance of hay. A similar report hav-
ing come from the Bull country, indi-
eating the same plan was under way to
hold back the hay there, fixed this de-
termination with the bureau officials
WILL BE DEMAND.
Due to the hay shortage reported
from the states named, the farm mar
ket bureau believes that there need be
no cause for worry on the part OF
shippers about disposing of their prod
uct at a net price of SIS per ton
which means $40 hay to the buyer. The
farm market bureau believes that many
thousands of tons of hay raised in this
state this year will find it's way into
these states.

Conservation.

Supply.

democracy and autocracy,
United States and Germany.
There is no room for neutrality.
Which side are you going to help?
With the above terse comment Pure
Food Commissioner j. K. White in
PRODUCES the subject of Food Conser-
vation,' in his campaign to call to the
attention of the people of Idaho what
they can do to help Uncle Sam.
The commissioner handles the sub
ject in the first book of it's kind that
the department has issued since the
war started In a combined way the
commissioner treats the practice of
thrift. the art of combining foods, the
dairy industry, self-denial, economy in
using meat, waste of good food, bak
ing and wheat flour substitutes, eat
ing vegetables. production and distri-
button.
POINT OUT WAY.
This bulletin says Commissioner
White in his introduction. lis issued
for the state dairy. food and sanitary
inspector, for the purpose of pointing
out to each class of citizens how they
the same time be of practical aid and
service to our state and national gov
ernments at this most critical time in
the worlds history. Because of the
importance of the subject. it is the
belief of this department that sugges-
tions and recommendations tending in
any WY to promote and better the
food situation cannot be too frequently
repeated nor too strongly emphasized.
THE United States department of
agriculture and other administrative
forces at Washington, and the various
departments of this state, are making
every effort to stimulate production
md to successfully solve the food prob
lens presented at this time. 1t has
been said that no such responsibility
ever rested on a single class OF indi-
yiduals as re SITS on the American farm
er; but, however willing and patriotic
he may be, the fact remains that the
tiller of the soil cannot do it all.
This country is chiefly concerned
that there may be enough food to &C
around Not only is there a necessity
of having a reasonable supply for oui
own tables, but it is also a matter OF
meeting to the very best of our ability
and the limit of our power the urgent
needs of the millions abroad, for Al
best the loaf Of our allies Is bound t.
be n privation loaf
For these reasons. we believe Il
timely to offer any suggestions thai
offer possibilities in the way of i'm.
provement and cooperation. Ever,
man, woman and child in the state O.
Idaho can be of help and it is hoped
that the information contained in thi
bulletin may serve in some way t.
stimulate interest in our national prob
lem and keep alive the great and cry
ing need of the hour-THE CONSER

Shut Them Off

So-CALLED American citizen, whose
politics have been made in Germany,
should not be allowed to have voice
in the present business this country
has in waging its war. They should
be deprived of that right, and where
their activity against measures aimed
at the enemy is marked they ought
to be dealt with as spies and traitors
are dealt with.
This is wartime, time when no
patriot should be afraid. The loyal
citizens of the United States must be
at least as bold as any friends and
abettors of the enemy who are
technically citizens.
We hear about the duty of avoid
ing internal strife from these so-called
Americans. There is no danger
that the loyal sons of America will
foment strife, but they would be un-
worthy of their birthright if they
should show forbearance to traitors.
The Government must do it's duty by
the men at the front fearlessly. Faint
heartedness on it's part would be less
pardonable than faint-heartedness on
the part of the country's defenders.
The country's defenders are lion
hearted.
Our Government and our true
citizens at home must be resolute to
do their part.

Reconciliation.

In most families and among friends
differences sometimes arise that are
decidedly unpleasant. In nearly all
cases these differences spring from
misunderstanding A time comes
when explanations, apologies and rea-
sons are in order, and a reconciliation
takes place. This Is thing much to
be desired, and when it comes wash
the slate clean. Leave no fragments,
no leftovers, to be brought up at an
other time. Wash the slate clean as
you would wipe out faulty example.
Cleanse the heart of the last drop Of
bitterness or resentment. Let love and
good will prevail. A genial spirit brings
more real happiness than manner so
reserved as to raise doubt Of the pleas
ure of meeting, doubt that reconcilia
ton was mutual. So forgive as to for
get. 1t has been done and can be done.
Such forgiveness wins good will and
cements friendships that fill life with
joy. Hold yourself ready to wash the
slate clean."-Milwaukee Journal.

Capitals We Have Had.

1t Is asserted sometimes that the
United States has had five capitals.
but the statement is not correct. The
United States has had but three cap
itals-New York, Philadelphia and
Washington. In the period preceding
the adoption of the constitution no
place was legally constituted capital
In loose and unofficial sense it is pos
sible to describe as capital any city
which was the seat Of government.
Taking the sessions Of the Continental
congress as establishing a seat Of gov
eminent in the Revolution and the
confederation, the following cities
may loosely rank as capitals: Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, York,
Princeton, Annapolis, Trenton and
New York. The articles of confedera-
ton were passed by congress in Phil
adelphia, and the federal convention
charged to prepare constitution con-
vened at the same place.

sent prosperity to establish new in

slump may come after the war ends.
You have, in fact, the greatest pros
pect in the Northwest, with this bay,

what they have on foot down there,
and other opportunities knocking at
your gates. | fear that one class
does not encourage new industries
because it might affect the labor
situation at the Du Pont plant. l
find also, that your retailers fear any
greater growth might attract outside
merchants with capital and increase
competition. That if why you, Mr..
Secretary, said this man, meet with
so many obstacles.

CONTRAST IN BACK YARDS.

Transparent Fence Is Well Adapted
For City Homes and Gardens.
The usual wooden fence around
back yard hides from view the lower
part of the house as well as the sur
rounding grounds. Because of this the
artistry expressed in a home garden or
lawn becomes a purely personal asset
and does not add as much as it might
to the beauty of the general landscape.
The type of fence thus detracts from
the beauty Of the city.
Moreover, such fence may actually
hide serious insanitary conditions
