BIG CAR SHORTAGE
Boise Mill Svamped With
Orders For Lumber.

Boise, Idaho. The car shortage
situation at the Boise Payette
company's Barber and Emmett
plants is so serious that Manager
c. A. Barton said it might be nee
essary to close the mills unless
some relief should be had soon.
eve have big crews at both
mills, lots of lumber in the yard,
and our books filled with orders;
and what can we do? ha re wired
Vice President Platt of the Oregon
Short Line today, acquainting him
with our situation, which is indeed
serious, and do not know what
the outcome will be. l should
greatly hate to throw a large
number of men out of work, but
this is what will happen if we do
not get cars soon.
"We need" said Mr.. Barton,
''on an average of 10 cars day
for both plants, and during the
last month we have had 90, when
we ordered 29S. You can readily
see how critical the situation is,
and the worst of it all is that the
lumber is needed for important
industries.

Trustees Resolutions.
where necessary.

The committee on resolutions at
the recent annual County school
trustees meeting held at CGur d.
Alene made recommendations
which included the following:
The election OF the county super
intendent of schools on non-par-
tisan ticket.
Community meetings to be held
by adjoining districts, the county
school superintendents to be in
vited to attend such meetings,
thereby rendering an opportunity
for him to give his assistance in
the solution of the more difficult
problems arising in school admin
istration.
Whereas the average number of
pupils under each teacher in the
county is about rs in number and
whereas the cost OF maintaining a
one-room rural school is. about the
same, whether there be mere or
fewer pupils than IS, it is recom-
mended that that portion OF section
81, of the Idaho Pamphlet School
Law, which provides that no
district shall be considered as hav-
ing less than IS census pupils for
the purpose of apportioning all
school moneys, be amended SO as
to provide that IS children instead
OF IS shall be the minimum num-
Der accredited to any district.

chairman, and Mrs. Katherine Roe,
secretary, for the efficient manner
in which they have conducted the

food for thought, and helpful sug'

TOO MUCH TRAFFIC
Railroads Ask That Only Es-
SentialS Be Shipped.

Washington, D. C.,-Denial OF
rail transportation 10 more than
500 commodities classed as nom
essential was recommended to the
government Nov. IS, by the rail
road war board. AT the same time
the board put out statement de-
claring the country's railroads at
the present rate Of Increase in
traffic will be unable to meet de-
mands that will be made on them
this winter.
The list contains $50 commodi'
ties whose transportation, it is de-
clared, could be dispensed with
without any great Inconvenience to
the general public and rs which, it
is held, the public could dispense
with but not without inconven-
ience.
The inability of the railroads to
move the traffic is due, the state
ment points out, to tremendous
increase in the volume of freight
and passenger business.

Government Insurance.

Excerpts from address by w. &.
McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, to
the officers and enlisted men and
women OF the army aud navy of the
United States aud their relatives:
The secretary of the treasury,
through. the Bureau. of War Risk In
surance, has been charged with the
administration Of the War Insurance
Law enacted by the congress as
measure of justice to the men and
women who have been called 10 give
their lives, II need be, in the service
OF their country.
To care for the wife and children
OF the enlisted man during his service,
the War Insurance Law compels him
to contribute up to one half of his
pay for their support. The govern
ment, on application, will generously
add to this an allowance Of from SIS
to $50 month, according to the SIZE
of the family. Moreover IL the en-
listed man will make some further
provision himself for a dependent
parent, brother, sister, or grandchild,
they may be included in the govern
ment allowance.
.Nf fnir ri
or disease contracted 10 the line of
duty, an officer or enlisted man or an
army or navy nurse should be dis
abled, provision is made for compen-
sation of from $50 to 500 month
to him, and, should he die, compen
sation of from $40 to SO month
will be paid to his wife, his child, or
his widowed mother.
To order, however, fully to protect
each person and family, Congress has
made it possible for every soldier,
sailor, and nurse to obtain life and
total disability insurance. This in
surance applies to injuries received
while be or she Is 10 the service or
after he or she shall have left it.
Exposure to the extra dangers of
war makes the cost of life insurance
ia private life insurance companies
prohibitlve. 1t was, therefore, a
plain duty aud obligation for the
government to assume the risk OF
insuring hundreds Of thousands Of
our soldiers and sailors who are max
ing the supreme sacrifice. Under
this law, every soldier and sailor and
nurse, commissioned and enlisted,
and of any age, has the right, between
now and February IL, 1918, to take
out life and total-disability insurance
up to 10000 at very low cost, with
the government without medica
examination. This right is purel,
optional. The soldiers and sailors
are not compelled to take insurance
but IL they desire TO exercise the right
they must do SO before the 18th o
February, 1918. The cost ranges
from IS cents monthly, at the age o
81, to 81. 20 monthly. at the age y
81, for each ST 200 Of insurance
This is a small charge on man
pay-small in proportion to tn
benefits it may bring. The premium
will be deducted from his pay, If b
desires. thus eliminating trouble ol
his part.

fair with her partners. What she ie
