THAT BOYCOTT OF LAMBS
Hoover Tells Benson Practice Would
Be Hysterical.

In reply to the protest of <. f.
Benson, state agriculture commission
er of Washington, in regard to the
boycott on young lamb, Herbert
Hoover, national food director, re-
plies that anything in the nature of
an organized boycott against the use
of young lamb is hysterical and did
not originate from his office"
Following is the message sent to
Hoover by Benson:
"The boycott on the use of lamb
meat will reduce output of mutton
and wool throughout the west if not
throughout America. Holding over
mutton lambs is uneconomical. So is
keeping young cockerels until they
are a year old or feeding steers until
four years old instead of selling as
baby beef at Is months and for the
same reasons. Situation really seri-
Gus and alarming. Unless boycott is
raised, the damage will be far-reach-
ing and will produce the opposite re-
suits from what you are striving for"
Hoover's reply to Benson further
says:
"The whole question of protecting
and increasing our fiocks of sheep and
cattle is of such vital and urgent i'm
portance that conference has been
called here (at Washington next
week to review the entire situation"
The same economic principle holds
true with respect to growing beeves,
pigs and chickens, and any arbitrary
and unsound interference with the in
dustry would tend to reduction of
hocks and droves.

Advertising Competitors.

The question before the merchant
is not merely what he is going to dc
with advertising. 1t is what advertis-
ing is going to do with him. The re-
tail store need not think it can ignore
the matter of advertising. For wheth-
err it tries publicity or not, it is af-
fected by publicity, and it must meet
the advertising of its competitors
This is not merely that the enterpris-
ing merchants of a town are drawing
trade away from those who are more
conservative. 1t is also that all the
merchants of a town like ours are
affected by the advertising of the
great department stores and mail or
der houses. If our merchants re-
main passive, a large section of their
trade will be drawn away from them
by the vast advertising campaigns on
which millions are spent. Mail order
catalogs and big city newspapers are
coming in here all the time, and the
announcements in those mediums at
tract our people. The goods are not
any better, if as good. But the fact
that the sellers thereof have conf
dence to boom them as persistently
as this, draws away the business from
the home town. The only way to
meet advertising is by advertising

LEAVES WITH REGRET

Supt. DeBOlt Expresses Appreciation
of Treatment AS He Leaves for Duty.
V. H. DeBolt, superintendent of the
Emmett schools last year and re-elect-
ed for the ensuing year, leaves Mon
day to report for training at the Of
icers Reserve Camp at Preside, Calf.
He will be accompanied by Mrs. De-
Bolt, who will remain in California
until he is called for duty at the
front. Mr.. and Mrs. DeBolt leave
Emmett with regret, but the call of
country was greater than personal
desires and ambitios, and Emmett
people will wish them God speed and
a safe return when the war is over.
Superintendent DeBolt, in the following
statement expresses his true feeling
in regard to the Emmett schools and
their future development and pro
gress
Before leaving Emmett, l wish to
take this means of expressing to the
community my regrets. Emmett is the
first city in which l have enjoyed a
home of my own and l can assure
the inhabitants that the regrets are
a little keener than when leaving
other places, when sojourning as an
itinerant schoolmaster. | came here
with other intentions, but such is the
fickleness of circumstances in stirring
times like the present.
GAS for leaving schools and the stu
dents. in whom we teachers take more
personal interest than they sometimes
realize, the regrets are even keener
I had ambitions for the schools and
tbe students, which l am confident
will be accomplished, to which hope
the ambitions and aspirations of other
teachers will be added and realized
as time goes on.
81 wish also to take this hasty
means of expressing my appreciation
of the support of the patrons and the
board. The parents have manifested
confidence in the teachers and the
school. AS to my associations with
vour school board, l wish to state
nubl;clv and emphatically that they,
as a body, have, at all times, acted
conscientiously in the interests of the
school and for their improvement and
efficiency as they saw it. This sum-
mer the board has made many i'm
movements about the school and fur
nished equipment for its work, yet
have only administered to the posi-
tive needs of the school and have
avoided any semblance of extrava-
oance The Emmett schools are con-
Quoting the work in standard man
ner and opportunity, at least, is Of
fered every boy and girl to develop
the best in them.
al do not intend these remarks to
he taken too enthusiastically, as there
is plenty of work to be done, but l am
taking it for granted that it will be
done. especially appreciate the
latitude that has been accorded me
in the conduct of the schools ad hope
have not taken undue advantage
of same. l believe that continual
ton of this policy will bring about
results satisfactory to all concerned.
"V. H. DEBOLT."
