The humble Idaho hen is playing q
most important part in preventing the
progress of the Prussion peril. Per-
haps it is not generally realized that
such IS the case, but one patent ex-
ample is furnished by the Payette val
ley alone. This year, since United
States Food Controller Hoover issued
his call for increased production OF
poIltry. one Payette firm has handled
alone better than 100000 worth o.
poultry, rabbits and eggs. Last year
the poultry industry was worth 1,0O0.-
600 to Idaho. Then the price of grain
went skyward and chicken nocks were
badly depleted. Partial regulation
followed and farmers began respond
ing to the Hoover appeal
During the past four months q very
conservative estimate for Idaho poultry
production for market purposes would
be 100000. Figures for the year 1917
should reach at least $1,000,000 and
even then probably twice the latter to-
tai would represent what Idaho has
spent for shipped in eggs and poultry.

this year from one pound to one and
one half pounds lighter than for the
previous year. The demand was larg

"The passage of this law has done
much to open the doors of our country
schoolhouses to the church, the Grange,
the Farmers Union, and the Parent
Teacher Association. Because these
buildings were erected primarily for
the use of the schools, their use has
frequently been refused for any other
purposes, in spite of the fact that a
building for public meetings is greatly
needed in every rural community, and
the scho' l-houses are used for school
purposes only five days in the week,
and then for not more than from six to
nine months in the year. Thus many
thousands of dollars worth of public
property has been standing idle a large
part of the year and many people have
been denied the social and intellectual
pleasures which are so greatly enjoyed
in the country districts. This economic
waste will be largely done away with
through the passage of this law pro
viding for the use of school houses as

Argentine Statesman
Talks Of Military Laws
By Charles P. Stewart.


Omitted Press staff correspondent
Buenos Aires, Jan. 1l-General Pablo
Ricchieri, author of Apgentine's g mill
tary service law, thinks this form of
conscription will eventually be found
satisfactory for the United States. In
an interview accorded the United Press
today he manifested the greatest inter
est in the report from Washington that
military heads favored adoption of the
Argentine idea for America,
"Argentine resorted to eonscription
because it was the only method of main
tanning a military reserve the gen
eral asserted. "The results have been
most excellent-democratizing our peo-
pie, improving them mentally and phys
ically and welding together various
dicers natiOnalities.
illustrative of the un-militaristic
character of the Argentine law, it might
be cited that the leading militarists here
opposed passage of the measure when it
was pending, expressing their prefer
ence for professional army.

United States and Argentine as to ideals
and institutions, 1 believe the Argen-
tine plan will be eventually found salts
