OF INTEREST
TO FARMERS

T. ]. Jones recently wrote to Har-
vey Alfred. director of the Farm
Markets Department of the State of
Idaho, asking for information con-
corning the government regulated
price of wheat and hogs and also
asking whether or not farmers could
sell their own slaughtered meats
without inspection. Following are
sections of Mr.. Allred's letter cover
ing the points in question:
Congress passed a law to become
effective on July 18th, l think, set
ting the price of $500 per bushel
for wheat, which is a minimum price.
1t does not prevent the value advanc-
ing beyond that in event the common
good demands it. And we are in
formed that the Interpretation so
far placed upon this congressional
enactment is to the effect that the
price of $500 will prevail at dis
trict terminals, not alone at Chicago.
We understand this to mean that
there will be terminals indicated at
large shipping centers throughout
the large grain growing districts and
that this price will prevail at such
terminals, regardless of their dis
lance from Chicago. There is a guar
anteed price on hogS IN drivers
packs, meaning those commonly
termed stock hogs ready for finish
ing or fattening.
This price is guaranteed by order
of the Food Administration at $3.50
per cwt Chicago terminal. We are
now attempting to have this matter
of discrepancy in prices of beef on
foot, and prices at the block, rem
edied and have reason to believe that
we will be successful in the neal
future.
In the matter of your local farm
ers selling beef will say that there
is nothing whatever to prevent the
growers from disposing of their owr
slaughtered meat and neither does he
have to have it inspected. The only
requirement is that they observe the
proper rules of sanitation.
In regard to the price of potatoe.
l do not know what the market con
dition for Northern Idaho is anC
would advise writing to our deputy
Charles Waggoner, of Post Falls
! Idaho.

A LITTLE MORE ROPE

You all have heard tell of the farmers pet goat
Or it a calf,-that wanted
And when he did get it, the story does run,
He hanged himself with it, the sun-of- agunl
There's ruler in Europe who's going to do
In his effort to the whole universe;
He visits the Sultan in Turkey, tits said,
And at the time for Troops to be fed.
Those big baggy pants; do spose he will EN-;
And later maybe establish Hareni;
And then teach Turk to Hannes and Herman?
Now you imagine Turkeogerman?
He won't the chance thank the Almighty C,iver
In a big turkish towel will wrap his old liver.
O won't shoot him, feed poisoned dOpe,--
For willie" will hang himself; give him ropel
He's the end of it it would seem;
He's sitting in mid air,his thrones but dream,
With his latest invention, bullet that burns
And his good German Gott:-stil the tide
lis reported that Mchaes too has resigned
Things getting hot he thot time,-
The army is weak nng the prisoners taken
Look if they'd been fed well balanced ration
Of promises, sprinked with suffring enough;
OH "Bill" should be put dies of soap!
But that costs too much; just give him rope.
Our boys still training; they're working like fury;
They could finish old "Wlie" without judge of jury.
But we'll a message, very it is hoped
"The Kaiser has hanged HIMSELF please cut the rops.

DISASTROUS
FIRE TUESDAY
w. L .KINNEAR BUILDING BURNS
AND OVER $4,000 WORTH OF
PROPERTY DESTROYED
INSURANCE COVERS LOSSES
Harry Kinnear, w. F. Kinnear and
Claycomb Stocks Damaged.

A fire which originated in the rear
of H. l.. Claycomb's dry goods store
last Tuesday night, Quilted the w. l.
klnnear one-story brick veneer build
ing on Main street and damaged the
stocks of H. l.. Claycomb, Harry
kinnear's hardware store and w. F.
Kinnear's grocery store, the total
losses being estimated at about $2O,-
10000 which is practically covered
by insurance.
A fire insurance adjuster is here
today to make adjustment of the
losses. As soon as an adjustment
is made Mr.. Claycomb will place all
his stock which was not burned in
the former Daily Critic building
where it will be placed on sale, Mr.
Claycomb having arranged with o.
X. Stookey for floor space for a few
weeks until all of Mr.. Stookey's new
furniture stock arrives. w. F. Kin
near and Harry Kinnear will prob
ably move their unchanged stocks
in day or so. The perishable goods
of Mr.. Kinnear's grocery stock has
been stored in j. w. Reds Depart
ment Store and Causton Bros ware
house. 1t is probable that the Kin
near block will be rebuilt and that
all three business houses which for
merly occupied the block will re-
main in business in this city.
The fire of Tuesday night was
first discovered by j. W.. Vaughan
who noticed smoke coming from be-
tween the Kinnear building and the
Grill restaurant. Vaughan notified
Marshal Bangs and the two turned
in the fire alarm and then returned
to the building. Before water could
be turned on the fire the Claycomb
store was all ablaze. This fire was
quickly put out but the flames which
had started between the steel ceiling
and the roof of the building could
not be reached and burned for sew
eral hours until the rafters gave
way and let the roof fall in. Chief
Meeker and volunteer fire fighters
worked all night in the effort to cut
through the roof and get at the fire
Those who saw the fire consider that
the department did remarkably we'll
in controlling it as well as they did.
The origin of the fire is a mystery
as there were no fires, so far as is
known, in any stoves of the building
and the electric lighting system con-
tinued in working order after the
fire had been burning for some time.
A full force of water was provided
by Manager Berger, of the Bonner
Water & Light Company, who had
the Boomers Ferry Lumber Com
pany's pump switched in soon after
the fire alarm was given.

For Tractor Flowing.

At meeting of the editors AMI
publishers of farm papers with the
tractor manufacturers in Chicago,
Dec. 1, Mr.. Bartholomew said: Il
think the great message to the
farmer at this time is to use the
tractor and how to use it to get
more out of it. and to urge the
farmer to make study along these
lines. In this connection it must
be remembered that the farm trac-
tor is SO implicitly relied upon
that it must not have the charac-
teristic of balky horse. The ele-
ment OF time is of the utmost i'm
portance in performing farm work,
therefore if something goes wrong
or breaks it must be promptly re-
established in the field. The trac-
tor can not be towed off three to
seven miles to a garage and han
died in the same manner as an au-
tomobile is taken care of under
such circumstances. First of all,
il must be made of material that
will stand up to work. The work
ing parts should be made of mate
rial that will stand up to the work.

Refuse Officers Courses when
Chance for Immediate Ser
vice Might Be Lost.

Soldiers at the environments
would rather see service at once on
the battle lines as privates than go
later as officers. In many instances
enlisted men eligible for admission
to officers training schools have
refused to apply because they fear
ed the work would lessen their
chances of immediate active SER
vice in Europe.
In one division. with $50 men to
be selected for training schools,
only 40 would apply. The rumor
was abroad in camp that the divi-
sion would sail before the work at
the school was completed, and moi
until the men were assured that
the schools would move with the
divisions were the quotas filed.

Using Wisely And Well.

The war has called our attention
to waste and emphasized the need
of economy. not only with what
we produce annually, but also our
natural resources.
Nature did not intend for wealth
TO be wasted nor natural resources
to be left deteriorate. but that man
should make use of what has heen
created for him without waste and
destruction.
Let us not forget those who will
occupy this earth ter us. The
nation will thrive and be good
place for mans inhabitance in pro-
portion to what we do for civiliza
ton. Our farms, timber, streams,
minerals. etc. have been intrusted
to us so long as We live, then they
must pass to others. 1t is our sa-
cred duty to be wise and frugal
enough TO use them well and pass
them to our children in a condi-
ton so that conservation may be
continued. Texas Farm d Ranch

Aside From All Of This The
Conductor Has Little
To Do.

The conductor is the funny man
with the funny voice who takes
your fare aud your smiles or
frowns. and tells you where you
are when you don't know and
where you want to 90 when you
don't know. 1t is rather difficult
to describe the exact station in life
of the conductor. 1t is quite evil
dent that if he has q subway or a
tunnel run, his station in life is
not an elevated one.
The duties of the conductor are
to be looked at, smiled at and kick
ed at, to be a father to all young
sters, to be a son to all good peo-
pie, to be friendly with sour peo-
pie, to be custodian everyone's
temper, and to be burea of gen
eral informant II. The conduct +
is asked every kind of a question
that the human mind is heir to.
He must answer unansweIable
questions with unutterable pa
thence. He has to answer ques
tons S fast that he is frequently
referred to as lightning conduc-
tor.
The conductor yields a great in
fluence for good in this world He
helps people to get on and also
shows them where they get off -

Radio and Buzzer
Operation Taught
in 500 Schools

The demand for specialists in the
Army is increasing daily. Mechanics
and technicians of all kinds, including
radio and buzzer operators, are needed
by the Signal Corps.
In nearly every large city the Fed
eral Board of Vocational Training,
through local school authorities, has
established schools of radio eemmuni-
cation where men of draft age who
have not been called may receive a
preliminary course in the operation OF
radio and buzzer instruments. There
are about 800 of these schools where
instruction is given, usually in the at
ternoon and evenings 1t takes about
200 hours for student of average
ability to obtain a speed of 20 words
minute, sending and receiving.
Further information regarding these
schools may be secured from LEGAL
school authorities.
Electrical engineers and men with
good fundamental training IN en-
cheering or physics are particularly
in demand for Signal Corps work.
Men of satisfactory qualifications are
given three months training in spe-
cial school, and have every opportun-
ity to take examinations leading to
promotion.
Men who have had experience as
electrical repair men, wiremen, and
mechanics are also desired for assign
ment to special schools and later to
field organizations.
