WRONG TO SALUTE
IN THEATER WHEN
ANTHEM ISPLAYED

II you see a soldier standing at sa'
Lutte when the national anthem is
played indoors, as in a theater, where
he has his hat off, you may put 1t
down that he Is not familiar with
army regulations.
Army regulations, Notwithstanding
the fact that you see many soldiers
standing at salute under such cir
cumstances, require that the soldier
merely stand at attention. A salute
is not merely an excess OF zeal. but II
is wrong, according TO. authorities at
the War Department. inasmuch as
uniformity Of action is the thing de-
sired.
The cenfusiop that apparently ex-
lists is due to a change made IN the
regulations a short time ago, reQuir-
ing the salute. This was found inap-
propriete, and the change was re-
scinded in new orders issued August
10, 1917.
Now the regulations are back In
their old status. Quoting paragraph
37S OF the Army Regulations: when
ever the national anthem Is played
at any place when persons belonging
to the military service are present.
all officers and enlisted men not In
formation shall stand at attention
facing toward the music"
q When IN uniform out-of-doors and
covered. the position of salute must
be maintained until the last notes OF
the anthem.

FOR WAR STAMPS

Things look rather dark for the
average man with one or more chill
dren- A new conspiracy for holding
out on the old man has been framed,
and by no less an agency than the
United States Treasury. Incidentally,
the new scheme has precipitated a
row of no mean proportions right IN
side the Treasury itself.
Uhwary fathers and mothers OF
children in various parts of the coun.
try have written letters to the Lib
erty Loan Bureau OF the Treasury
Department announcing that their
children have told them that they will
henceforth be expected to contribute
all their small coins to q savings fund
for purchase of war savings certif-
Gates and stamps. Out OF the mouths
OF these babes have come suggestions
that when father shaves himself he
drop into the war savings fund box
the ordinary price of,a shave, plus the
tip; that when he buys papers he
present nickeIs or dimes, bringing the
copper change home for the fund; that
he save all bright, new coins for the
fund: that he duplicate for the fund
the price OF all unnecessary luxuries.
and many other schemes calculated to
separate the heads OF families from
a constant stream OF minor coins.

Omaha Grain Men
Fight Boost in the
Rates On Wheat

Representing the Omaha Grain ex-
change, Ed P. Smith has gone to
Washington, where next Wednesday
he will appear before the Interstate
Commerce commission to resist
proposed advance in wheat export
rates that the railroads seek to apply
March Il.
The railroads Of the country have
Joined in an agreement to advance
the wheat rate l cent bushel to all
points on the Atlantic and gulf coasts,
especially if the grain is for export.
This advance is protested by the
Omaha Grain exchange, the Chicago
Board of Trade and members of grain
markets elsewhere. In the presenta-
ton of the protest and the arguments.
the local grain men are represented
by Mr., Smith.
The chief reason the grain men
have for fighting the advance in the
export grain rate is the fact that
millions of bushels of wheat now in
storage were bought on the basis of
the present rate. The contention is
that an advance of l cent a bushel
will mean heavy losses to holders of
wheat.

IDAHO NOW WANTS
TO Be SPLIT IN TWO
Miners and Ranchmen Have a
New Plan for Settling Their
State Troubles.
SCHEME ALL WORKED OUT

Boise Idaho. Feb 24,-A proposal
to divide Idaho into two states by
separating the northern part from the
southern on line approximately
along the watershed, extending east
and west, of the Snake and Salmon
rivers, Is before both houses of the
state legislature which Is now In ses-
sion here. One result of state separa-
ton would be to add two United
States senators to the upper house
Of congress.
Sentiment In favor of the separa-
ton has been crystalizing within the
state for some years because of the
divergence in physical characteristics
of the two sections and the conse-
quent almost Numerically opposed
interests OF the inhabitants. 1t Is as
serted that virtually ever since the
state was admitted to the union 1t
has been difficult to obtain state laws
Prom the legislature which are In the
interest Of the state as a whole.
What Would Be Divided.
II Is said that when divided the
two new states would be almost equal
In extent and population. Separation
would, 1t Is said, separate the purely
agricultural and grazing interests
from those which are purely mining
and with which the northern section
OF the present state 10 almost en-
tirely concerned As the division Is
proposed, there would Be approx
inately 48,300 square miles In the old
state and 81, 1900 In the new state. The
old state would be about the size of
Pennsylvania and the new state about
the size Of Indiana
On a valuation Of approximately
900, 100000 for the whole state the
territory which would be left In the
southern half, or old state, virtually
would be 90 per cent, or $240, 900, 900,
while the new state would have a
valuation for taxable purposes of
about $l60,000,000.
The present state has total popu-
iation of 436,88l, as compared with
that Of New York with 1885, 7S, and
with Texas with 4,472,494, both of
which are much larger also in terri
tory. Idaho contains $4,000 square
miles, while Texas contains 265,896
square miles, the largest in the United
States. Idaho Is sos miles long at
its greatest length, as compared with
Texas, which is $40 The latter Is
$50 miles across, while Idaho is 400
miles at its greatest breadth.
Talked for Many Years.
State division has been talked for
many years, principally because the
two sections have little in common,
geographically or industrially. They
are separated by a mountain system
which has never yet been penetrated |
by railroad, for which reason trav-
elers desiring to go from north to
south or in the other direction have
to leave the state and pass through |
both Oregon and Washington, or else
through Montana.
Should the resolution be adopted |
by the state legislature there will have
to be constitutional convention in
the tow states and he constitutions
submitted to congress in Washington,
which, finding the constitutions to its
liking, would pass an enabling act and
the new states would become reality
