$500 Per Year


President Wilson In his message
to the farmers of the United States,
of January 81, voices a strong faith
in their loyalty and makes a strong
call for their cooperation in winning
the war
writer's to compare the production
per acre of European farmers with
that of American farmers to the det-
riment of the American. The Presi-
dent, however, makes the assertion
that the farmers of this country are
as efficient as any farmers in the
world, and that while they do not
produce more per acre, it is not only
not necessary that they should do so,
but perhaps it would be bad econo-
my for them to attempt. The real
test is that they do produce by two
or three times more per man per unit
of labor and capital than the farmers
of any European country; they are
more alert and use more labor-sav-
ing devices than any other farmers
in the world.
The response of the farmers, says
Mr.. Wilson, to the demands of the
present emergency has been in every
way remarkable, and he quotes fig
ures in proof of the assertion. These
achievements. he urges, should be
repeated and even exceeded
The President denies that the Gov
of foodstuffs and not sought to fix
other prices which determine the ex-
penses of the farmer, stating that the
Government has successfully regu-
lated the prices of many materials
underlying all the interests of the
country, and such regulation was not
only for the purchases of the Govern
ment but for the purchases of the
public, and in fixing the prices of
foodstuffs the Government has sin
cerely tried to keep the interests of
the farmers as much in mind as the
interest of others.
Recalling the historic action of the
farmers at Lexington, when they
fired the shot that was heard
around the world" President Wilson
says that the toll. the intelligence.
the energy, the foresight, the sacri-
fees, and devotion of the farmers OF
America will bring to a triumphant
conclusion this great last war for the
emancipation of men from the con-
troll of arbitrary government and the
selfishness of class legislation.

MAY Trade With the Enemy

The American Red Cross has been
granted license by the War Trade
Board to "trade with the enemy"
This is how it came about: The priv
ilege of sending letters, food and
money to American prisoners of war
in Germany has been granted exclu
sively TO the Red Cross by the Ger
man government. Germany demands
return for this privilege. She
asks the Red Cross to act as tho
medium through which German faith
ers and mothers can send word
from home" or remembrance TO
sons confined in American prison
camps and to minor extent to her
prisoners in French and British
camps. This. in sense constitutes
trading with the enemy"

Extra session talk has been reyiv-
ed over the information from the
judge advocate, militia bureau, war
department received by Governor
Alexander and Adjutant General
Moody that Idaho, having failed to
pass an act when the last Legislature
was in session to accept and take ad-
vantage of the national defense law.
cannot secure finances Hereunder
with which to equip National Guard
battalion.
Governor Alexander states a spec
ial session of the legislature may be
necessary TO secure the finances. The
battalion will contain between 500
and 500 men. 1t will have federal

listed men; Company B, Standpoint.

time a mastering officer will be COM
missioned to musted them into the
service. Some time ago it was antic-
ipated session extraordinary of
the Fourteenth Idaho legislature
would be called, but the governor de-
cided not to take the step. 1t is felt
that Idaho cannot afford to be with
out proper police protection to meet
any serious situation that might
arise If the new Third Idaho bat
talon is to be given arms, clothing
and other equipment, the state must
furnish the funds. There is not suf-
ficient money in the adjutant gener-
ais appropriation to do so. Only
the legislature can supply the mon
ey, federal funds not now being
available. Governor Alexander says
that If he should convene the legis-
lature. he will ask the members of
both houses to serve without pay,
with the understanding their travel
ing expenses to and from the capital
will be paid. The session. he does
not believe. need last longer than
from three to six days. The cost to
the state would not be large. under
this plan.

Dollar Thread

Everyone who returns from Eu-
to realize that so far, we have no
idea of the privations that are being
endured by the people in the strick-
en- countries. Think of being unable
to mend ones clothes because a spool
of thread costs a dollar. Think of
cooking ones food. and then pouring
water into the kettle in which 1t was
cooked and cooking the kettle that
nothing may be wasted. And If this
is not enough, thinking of having
no food TO cook and no kettle to put
1t In. II some kind person should give

being endured in Flanders and In
France.

oxford. told a Washington. d. c..
audience a week ago that the English

apologies for doing so, and that his
first impression In this country was
OF extravaganza and waste in food
and clothing. "Only three-quarters
OF a pound of butter has come into
my British home In the last three
months" he says.
A year ago one of the Y. NJ. c. A.
speakers assured us that Americans
have not begun to learn the meaning

Idaho Alfalfa To France

Few of our citizens. not actively
engaged in the marketing of produce
would ever think that Idaho alfalfa
has already found its way to France.
nevertheless this is fact. Idaho has
already contributed several hundred
carloads of this commodity for ex-
port. Texas has been shipping in
Idaho alfalfa for a number of years.
and pronounce il the highest grade
of alfalfa that has ever been shipped
INTO their state. Even Louisiana and
Alabama have heard of Idaho alfalfa
and have placed orders with one of
our stste departments for this pro
duct of our soil. Georgia and North
and South Carolina have invaded ON
alfalfa fields and are insistent In theil
demands for Idaho alfalfa.

With Hundreds of Men Learning e
Fly Accidents Are Few

Records of the War Department
show that from the beginning of
training in June, 1917, to February
22, 1918, the fatalities at military
aviation fields in this country have
been 81: 10 officers end % clcets
killed in training flights and II men
killed in unauthorized flights and
ground accidents.
Since the training began in the
United States. student aviators have
flown considerably more. than 100,-
900 miles. Hundreds of hitherto in
experienced men have been learning
to fly. Their early flights are under
the guidance of instructors, and
prior to these flights two or more
months are spent in preliminary
ground work. There comes a time
however. when every student aviator
must take his machine up alone. and
every precaution has been taken to
reduce the number of accidents and
safeguard the aviator in his solo
flights.

Men at All Camps Receive Instruc-
tion in Gas Defense

At each cantonment in the United
States a school has been established
where every officer and man receives
instruction in gas defense. The Amer
lean gas mask. similar to the British
is as s.mechanically perfect as the best
experts have been able to produce.
The face piece, with glass or cellu-
loid eye-pieces, is connectd by a fiex-
knapsack The incoming breath
comes through the canister. which is
filled with several layers of chemicals
which neutralize or render harmless
the gas-laden air. Outgoing breath
passes outside the face piece through
a small valve.
The student in gas defense soon
learns to get his mask on in hurry,
six seconds being the standard time
when the knapsack containing the
mask is hanging at his chest in the
alert" position. After intensive
training a gas attack is arranged. A
class is put In trenches. and without
warning. clouds of smoke and chlor-
Inc are liberated by the instructors
masks are hurriedly put on. alarms
sounded. and sleeping men in dug
outs aroused. When the attack ceas.

the air is tested and permission /:
given to remove masks.

Reduction OF Fuel Used by Manufac-
turers Is Plan OF Administration

The Fuel Administration is carry
Ing all industries which use large
quantities OF fuel with a view to
learning the requirements OF each
line during 1918. The industries
themselves are playing a leading part
in these discussions. The aim OF
the Fuel Administration Is to arrive
at percentage OF production which,
under the circumstances, will be sat
isfactory to the manufacturers and
their workmen. but which will not
represent a consumption OF fuel for
the manufacture OF supplies not
needed during the current year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use OF fuel for the pro-
duction OF window glass to so per
cent of the amount manufactured in
1917 is the result OF one of these con-
ferences. A survey OF the field in
dicated that while not more than
100000 boxes OF window glass
would be needed in 1918, competi-
tive conditions were likely to result
in an overmanufacture OF at least
2,000.000 boxes.
1t is through this system OF limita-
tion. together with large economy In
the methods OF using fuel, that the
Fuel Administration expects to sup
