WAR IS NOT OVER
Liberty Loan Workers Seek to
DiSpel False Notion.

Boise, Idaho. Oct. 7.-Chairman
Monte B. Gwinn, in charge of
Idaho's fourth Liberty loan drive,
today made the following state
,ment:
"The fake report that the war is
over has spread over the state and
has had bad effect on the fourth
Liberty loan drive in Idaho, This
is regretable and its effects must
be overcome. Even If the war
were over it would be absolutely
necessary to put this Liberty loan
across to pay for past victories,
but the war is not over.
"The best answer to the kaiser's
insincere peace overtures and to
the reports being spread in Idaho
by pro- Germans is to put the fourth
Liberty loan for Idaho over with
rush. Every business man. every
farmer, e. yery laboring man should
come in promptly and show his
colors. None should care to have
his name appear on the published
bond Stacker list.
81 now make an earnest appeal
to all Liberty loan organizations TO
get together promptly and take
steps to offset the circulation of
misleading peace reports. | also
urge all citizens to cooperate to the
end that Idaho may not be behind
in this important duty to our gov
ernment. Idaho has never been
behind in meeting any call for men
or money. Let US make good this
time in hurry"

GRADING OF WHEAT
Rules to Save Loss to Grower
and Dealer.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 5.-State Grain
Inspector r. j. Leth, is responsible
FOR the statement that there are very
few grain firms 10 the state who have
the necessary equipment for properly
grading wheat. ln most cases neither
the farmer nor the dealer is assured
ot The correct grade. The farmer is
not the only loser in this game, how.
ever. Much wheat Is purchased on
loo high grade and the dealer stands
the loss. Possibly such losses and
gains may compensate for each other
to the dealer, but not so TO the
individual farmers. State grading is
the only recourse.
Mr.. Leth further stated that better
service could be given If the rules for
submitting wheat samples were al
ways followed. A common difficulty
Is the submission of too small a
sample. Three plnts is the smallest
sample it is possible to grade.
The grade determined by the state
grain inspector becomes binding on
both buyer and seller only when the
sample is Jointly selected by them.
The law demands that a sample be
submitted for the official state grade
upon demand of either party con-
cerned.
State wheat grading assures every
farmer Of the proper grade on his
wheat If he SO desires. Likewise 1t
protects the dealer from unknowingly
buying wheat at higher grade than
is justified.

Chicago office OF the food administra- :

"This is no time to parley on

Germany or her vassals. German
integrity territorially, industrially
and politically, is yet unbroken;
her soil is yet free from the tread

peace talk should be considered
until our armies are on German

Spanish Influenza.

The United States public health
service sends out the following adj
vice concerning "Spanish influenza"
now epidemic 10 many parts of this
country:
In most cases person taken sick
with Influenza feels sick rather sud
denly. He feels weak, has pains 10
the eyes. ears, head or back, and may
be sore all over. MANY patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most Of the
patients complain Of feeling chilly,
and with this comes fever Ia which
the temperature rises to 100 to l04.
In most cases the pulse remains
relatively slow.
In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly "blood-shot," or con-
gested," as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These
signs OF cold may not be marked;
nevertheless the patient looks aud
feels very sick.
Ordinarily, the fever lasts from
three to four days and the patient
RECEIVERS. But while the proportion
of deaths in the present epidemic has
geaerally been low, in some places
the outbreak has been severe and
and deaths have been numerous.
When death occurs 1t is usually the
result of complication.
1t is very important that every
person who becomes sick with in
fluepza should go home at once and
20 to bed. This will help keep away
dangerous complications and will, at
the same time, keep the patient from
sc altering the disease far and wide.
1t is highly desirable that no one be
allowed 20 sleep ih the same room
with the patient. 10 fact. no one
but the nurse should be allowed IN
the room.
II there is cough and sputum or
running of the eyes and nose. care
should be taken that all such dis
