ed tonnage upon the carriers at a
time when they are already well-nigh
TO the limit. In some quarters there
seems to be disposition to trust
everything in the present emergency
to the government. 1t has even been
suggested that If the government es-
tablisnes minimum and maximum
food prices-that this will greatly
simplify matters for the farmer
that in this event, all he will need
to do will be to produce the biggest
crop possible and then turn it over
to the public at prices which have
been fixed. But this is self-assur-
ance little short of inexcusable folly
for, even though the government
should fix a price of $1.00 per BUSH
ell for corn and $1.75 per bushel for
wheat, it will guarantee these prices
to the farmer only as cars are avail
able to carry these products to the
market and to the consumer. In
short, there is no hocus pocus of gov
ernmental or other ingenuity which
can remove the railroads as a ire
mendously vital factor to the pros
perity of the farmer-and Confronted
by a fuel bill which will cost them
$14O, 100000 more during 1917 than
in 1915, with the tribute Of 100000
900 exacted by the Adamson law,
saying nothing about the scores of
millions of dollars represented by
other wage increases, supplies and
taxes-these things mean that the
farmer should harken with patience
to the urgent appeal which the rail-
roads are making at this time for in
creased revenues which they impera-
lively need if they are to furnish adj
equate facilities for the moving OF
what all of us hope will be the great
est crop in the history of the ma
ton. That the carriers experienced
the greatest business in their history
during 1915 is true enough-but that
"all is not gold that glitters" is ex-
emplified by the fact that while dur
ing the seven months from September
1, 1915, to March 1, 1917 the great
Pennsylvania system had an increase
in gross receipts of $17,500,000, it
had an actual deficit of $12,400,00O
in net earnings over the same period
during the previous year.

THE FARMER AND THE
RAILROADS.

From one end of the nation to the
other-from the president down to
the common day laborer who Is stag
gering under a cost of living that is
almost Observation-Disclosures has gone
forth an appeal to the farmer to 90
his '1evel best" this year and to pro-
duce the greatest crop that Is human
ly possible. Perhaps this appeal has
been more frantic in some quarters
than was necessary-not that the ov-
erwhelming need Of great crop can
be exaggerated, but rather that those
who made the appeal underestimate
ed both the alertness and the patriot
ism of the American farmer who, In
the quiet retreat Of his farm home,
sees the need of the nation far more
clearly than those Of us who move
amid the din and confusion OF lie
in the cities.
Already there is evidence upon ev-
cry hand that 1t will not be the farm
er's fault IL he does not produce the
gratest crop in the history etaoiiii
greatest crop in the country's history
this year-and since the price OF all
classes of farm products is certain to
be high, It means that the farmer
will receive generous return for his
sweat and toll. In this connection
surely there has never been Q time
when the farpa~r should be so keenly
concerned in efficient and adequate
railroad service as now-for the pro-
duction Of a record-breaking crop

SIS REWARD OFFERED FOR
CONVICTION OF SHIRKERS

That the legal machinery of Ida
no is prepared to follow up all pre-
|vious statements regarding the In

just issued by Governor M. Alexan-
der as copied below:

A PROCLAMATION
Whereas, June 5, 1917, by virtue
lof authority vested in Woodrow VIII
son, the president of the United
States, was set apart for the purpose
of registering the young men of our
land between the ages of Fl and 80,
and,
Whereas, On said date the patriot
ic sons of our state obeyed the man
dates of said proclamation and by
their action showed their devotion to
their country by voluntary register
ing, in order that they might be
drafted into the armies of the Unit
ed States and permitted to shed their
blood for the cause Of righteous
ness, democracy and humanity, and,
Whereas, On said date, the spon-
taneous outburst Of the young men
was such that the heart Of every
citizen was glad and new hopes TAX
en- that the country was safe in the
hands of our young patriots and
thereby the gratitude of the nation is
consecrated to their noble action,
and,
Whereas, In this free country of
ours, equal opportunities of life, lib
erty and pursuit of happiness exist,
and these privileges carry with 1t al
SO duty, which no man should be al
lowed to shirk,
Now, Therefore, l, Moses Alexan-
der, governor of the state OF Idaho,
hereby offer a reward of Twenty
Five Dollars ($25.O0) for informa-
ton given by anyone not an officer
charged with the performance of du-
ty, that will lead to conviction in
court of competent jurisdiction OF
any man between the ages Of FL and
80 years, inclusive, who has not reg
istered for military duty in accord
ance with the act of congress and
the proclamation of the president of
the United States made in accord
ance Herewith.
Said reward will be paid by defi-
cheney warrants drawn upon the
treasurer of the state of Idaho. Any
furnished will be treat
ed as confidential and the people of
this state are asked to cooperate in
the enforcement of this law SO that
one man may not be compelled to Of
fer his life for his country and his
neighbor be allowed to shirk the res

tiles to which he is not entitled, and
thus desetroy the essence of our free
institutions, equality before the law.
In Testimony Whereof, | have here
unto set my hand and have caused
the great seal Of the state to be here
to affixed. Done at Boise, the cap
ital of Idaho, this eleventh, day OF

KING HILL PROJECT
is TAKEN INTO COURT
Surety on Indemnity Bond Is Sued
by Idaho for $25, 900.

Pocatello.-As a result of the al
legged failure Of the King Hill Irriga-
ton & Power company to live up to
the terms of its Carey act contract
with the state, Attorney General T.
A. Walters, acting under instructions
from the state land board, has
brought suit against the National
Surety company for $4,000 on an
indemnity bond issued to insure the
completion of the work.
What is known as the King Hill
project comprises total area OF "a
900 acres of fertile land near Glenns
Ferry in Gilmore county. The prof.
ect has had checkered career, hav-
ing been first undertaken in 1903 by
the Glen1fs Ferry Land & Irrigot1on
company. which was succeeded by
the King Hill Irrigation & Power
company in 1907. The latter compa-
nv was controlled by ]. l.. Hammett,
wealthy oil producer who came
to this state from Oklahoma and who
lost his fortune in attempting to COM
plete the irrigation system.
For some time the state has been
endeavoring to induce the federal
government to purchase the tract
and complete the irrigation system.
Such action was recently recommend
ed by Secretary of the Interior Frank
lin X. Lane, and it is thought prob
able that the necessary appropriation
will be made during the present ses-
sion of congress as war measure.
The completion of the irrigation
project will open up one of the most
productive tracts of the state, as, ow-
ing to the fact the altitude is only
1900 feet, the lands are adapted to
fruit growing as well as to diversi-
fled farming.

The Dishrag.

The following from the last quarterly
bulletin of Vermont State Board of
health is a subject worthy of atten-
ton in many a household. "Another
common nuisance is the dish cloth
am glad that most of our up to date
hotels have installed the modern SAN
itarY dish washer and drier, which
eliminates the unsanitary cloth alto
gether. 1t is strange that so many of
our Vermont housekeepers will take
so much pride in a clean kitchen and
use a dish cloth, usually wrung out
and placed over the pan TO dry ready
for the next meal. If you will tear of
a email piece Of the cloth and put il
under microscope you will be sur
prised to see the great variety Of
germs there. Where it is possible, /
believe the modern dish washer and
drier should be used, but if not con
venient II should be boiIed every day
ard, if possible, dried in the sun, and
az the end of the week should be
replaced with a new one. We should
be sure the old one is burned or il
may find its way into the rag bag, TO
be used in house cleaning time.'

WILFRED, Lutte PLAYER, COM

VIII Play Here on the Closing Day of
Chautauqua.
Dc vou ever hear ! Iute ?

Did you ever hear lutte?
The. ChautauQua viii bring a lutte
PLAYER to Orleans. He is from Co
penhagen. Denmark, newly arrived.
He was conducting a studio in Lon
don when the war broke out; business
became dull; ne closed his studio,
went to Denmark, toured Denmark,
Norway and Sweden, and he has only
recently brayed the danger zone IN
the Atlantic, and he is on his first
Chautauqua tour.
The lutte is an old, old instrument.
It was popular 800 years ago. 1t was
all the rage back IN the time of Moses.
1t was the mother of the harp. And
when the keyboard was invented the
Lutte was all but relegated to the an
cient past.
WiIfred, the Lutte player, has brought
it to life again.
The old instrument has been men
toned so prominently IN England's
written history it is little wonder that
the king and queen expressed de-
sire to hear the most famous lutte
player of his day, as they did only
few months before the war.

These travelling minstrels would go

struments strapped over one should

guished lutte players that were at
tached to the royal courts in both
France and England.
Music will have an important part
in the Chautauqua program. The
list of musical companies includes,
besides Wilfred, the Hawaiian Sing
ers and Players, to appear in native
costumes and presenting an after
noon and evening of Hawaiian music
with the steel guitar and ukulele and
other instruments; the Royal Marine
Band with Signor Lacerenza, direc-
