SUGAR SHORTAGE
MAKES ECONOMY
A VITAL ISSUE

THE rationing of sugar for manu-
featuring purposes will continue so
far as We can see, throughout the
war;" declared j. N. Bundick. chair
man of the Food Administration Su-
gar division for Colorado" and 1t is
absolutely necessary that all manufac-
turers using sugar for the less essen
ual food products. practice the strict
est economy during the coming
months"
The sugar situation in the United
States is far from encouraging, accord
ing to officials, owing to lowering OF
the sugar beet acreage in this coun-
try, and the lack OF transportation IA
cilities by which sugar could be
brought from Cuba and the Islands.
Present indications are that the
1918 sugar allowance will be consider
ably lower than that OF 1918. and We
would most strongly advise sugar US
ers to go as easy on their present sup
plies as possible" this from Chairman
Bundick.

FOR restraining from using cauneu roou
at this time of the year. Perhaps the
more serious angle is the fact that the
tin shortage is becoming rapidly acute,
and unless the supply is shortly en-
HANGED. there will not be sufficient tin
containers to preserve the enormous
crops expected this season. Because OF
this. it is necessary that every house

COUNTY OVERSUBSCR|RED
BOND QUOTA TEN PER CENT

Latah county took nearly 100000
worth of the fourth Liberty loan
bonds, being more than 10 per cent
above her quota of 100000. 1t is
believed that every precinct in the
county oversubscribed it's quota.
When the last reports were received
Saturday night the sales of bonds in
the county totaled $877,35O, but some
points had not reported and it is be-
lieved that when complete reports are
in the total will be almost 100000.
Moscow, with a quota of $385,000
took S403, ,050 worth of the bonds. The
city and county rallied at the last and
came under the wire strong.
It is believed that the nation has
"gone over the top" with the biggest
loan ever floated by any nation in
the world SIX BILLION DOLLARS,
but it will be several days before the
total subscriptions in the United
States are known. Washington an
nounces that the loan, which was
placed at maximum of Sc 900 ,OOO, 900
is oversubscribed.

The University of Idaho was closed
today for indoor classes, but number
of classes were held out doors and the

the instructions from the state board of

There are few cases that are suspicious
among students, but every oiic hos bee

Every case of a severe cold is being
watched and the person suffering with

dents who live at home are not permitted
to attend the open air classes, but an
opportunity has been given them to take
their bed and bedding to the barracks
and remain under the same rules as the
S. A. T. C. men, but they will be re-
quired to pay for their meals.
There is one case of pneumonia in the

remarkable that there are so few cases.
