The War Industries Board recently
issued an order to all dealers in mer
chandiSe to use less paper in wrapping
parcels. and thus conserve the paper
stock 1t is the custom for dealers to
wrap bundles in two or three thick
nesses of paper. perhaps to give the
buyer the idea that he is getting some
thing extra for his money. But he is
not. and the quantity of paper SO used
is often an Inconvenience to him. The
OUTPUT of paper is becoming smaller,
and this order should be closely OBJ
served by merchants and others. An
order was also issued to save and
utilize all apparently useless articles
which encunlDer the residences Offices.
yards and streets everywhere. Most
all of these can lie worked over into
something useful, especially iron. brass.
lead and other metals. These should
be gathered and forwarded to the
proper government officials. 1t would
not only nc IL saving of materials, but
w lid make the premises and streets
look better and cleaner.

ting of the Kings wife, who is sister
of the Kaiser The King was con-
trolled by his wife, and had not the
courage to protest Bulgaria is the
smallest of the allies of the Huns, but
the Importance of this detection mainly
is that it will no doubt influence Tur-
key. which country has recently met
with several reverses. and is about
ready to strike her colors. Austria is
also weakening, and there is a strong
desire among the masses Of her people

vided between Mr.. Nugent and former
Governor Jas. II. Hawley, the mem
bers of the Democratic party, without
dissent and the members of all par
ties, with singular unanimity agreed
that the appointee was a man of un-
usual ability as a lawyer and eco
nomic student, and that he has Ak
ways been leader of progressive De
mocracy of the Woodrow Wilson type
That he will make his mark in the
senate at this time, when so-called
Democrats seem anxious to assist
partisan foes in hampering the presi-
dent is the opinion expressed by many
Mr.. Nugent was born in La Grande,
Oregon, during the visit of his mother
to that place forty-nine years ago. AT
that time his parents were living at
Silver City, in Owyhee county, which
was then a noted mining camp. His
father was a lawyer and later on dis
trict Nudge Kennedy Packard of this
city says he recalls when young John
was court stenographer for his faith
er.
The new senator went to the COM
mon schools of Owyhee county untlE
sixteen years of age, when he quiE
and began working in the mines. Lat
er he studier stenography and on the
election of his father as district judge
he became his court stenographer.
Married in 1895, he and his wife
went to Australia, lived there year
and returned to study law. He was
admitted to the bar in 1898 and was
elected prosecuting attorney of Owy-
hee county the same year, serving
eight years Owing to the fact that
he became acquainted with the min
ing leaders in Silver City, he was en-
gagged in the defense of Haywood and
others in the celebrated trial which
resulted in acquittal. Since 1906 he
has lived in Boise.
He has always been an active Dem
ocrat and is considered a campaigner
of unusual ability.
