PEOPLE PROTEST
NEW CLOSING ORDER
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE BESEIG-
ED WITH COMPLAINTS OF
HARM DONE TO BUSINESS

The closing orders for mercantile
establishments, issued by State Food
Administrator Bicknell and published
in Thursdays Star Mirror, is causing
large amount of discussion. The
local food administration and the
county council of defense are being
called upon to explain it's operation
and hear complaints of those whose
business it affects.
The ice cream parlors and soft drink
establishments are hard hit by this
ruling, in as much as large part Of
their business is done after o'clock
in the evening.
The question is being put to Food
Administrator Martin and the chair
man of the defense council as to the
source of the order and whether the
council of defense will enforce the
same.
In speaking to Star-Mirror report
er in reference to these questions,
Messrs. Martin and Parsons stated
that they had no information other
than the telegram as published in this
paper; that the duty Of the food adj
ministrator and the county council
was made plain therein, and that the
public could not ask them to do
otherwise than to perform that duty,
and it was hoped that the merchants
and people as a whole would conform
to the rule and assist them in per-
forming their duty. ...-..es<.,.4--.--e.4.s
That it was recognized that it was
causing a hardship on some, but that
hardship was insignificant when COM
pared with what our drafted men had
to endure when called to the colors.

school this year. He will therefore
open up a summer term, beginning
Monday morning, July %. He hopes
that a large class will be enrolled on
that day, and he will have in charge
of the typewriting and shorthand
classes an expert teacher.
Anyone who wishes to put in the
summer in this profitable manner is
urged to call Mr.. Creekmur at once
and make arrangements for taking
the lessons. The price of tuition is
low. To encourage immediate enroll
ment, Mr.. Creekmur will give free
tuition to new pupils all next week,
in preparation for the regular course
which opens on July %.
A number of young ladies who feel
that their time should be better en-
gagged this year than in purely social
enterprises have already begun with
their textbooks. Work has COM
mendably become very fashionable.
1t is expected that some twenty more
women and men will be on the class
lists by tomorrow night.

WOMEN'S SHOES ARE
TO Be MADE LOWER
CHANGED AND PRICES MAY
STILL BE HIGHER

Advices from Washington indicate
that there will be many restrictions in
style of women's boots for the spring
of 1919. 1t is quite certain that there
will be no patterns higher than 8
inches and that colors will be limited
to two shades of brown, black and
white. However, Milady's boots for
fall, 1918, will not be lacking in style
full qualities and artistic design. The
Rochester, N. Y, shoe manufacturers
are now preparing for their semi
annual style show, which will be held
in that city under the auspices of the
Rochester Association Of Travelling
Shoe Statesmen, July to 13, inclusive.
Mr.. Homer David, of the well-known
firm of F. A. David & Sons, informs
The Star Mirror that he has been
privileged to view in advance several
of the displays that will be presented
by leading manufacturers. Rochester
ranks high as a producing center of
really high-class footwear for women,
misses and children.
The prevailing and patriotic height
for fall is 1-2 inches from the sole
line, measured from the center of the
top to the breast or front of heel. Lace
boots predominant, very few button
patterns being shown. The colors are
pearl and dark gray; mouse and dark
brown in kidskins; tan and dark brown
calf; black kid of satin texture with
wonderful glossy finish; some black
gun metal and few white. The heels
are about equally divided between the
2 to 2 1-2-inch French, and low heels;
some wood covered with leather to
match and some all leather, and the l
5-8-inch to 1 3-4-inch military heel,
specially designed for hiking. There
are also many beautiful designs in
boots with cloth tops to match the
leather vamps, and which will retail
at several dollars per pair below the
all leather boots in the same colors.
The prevailing length in vamps is 3
3-4 inches, although there is minor
ity showing of the French or stage
last with vamps as short as 1 IA
inches.
The American woman of good taste
will have no trouble in satisfying her
wishes for artistic footwear for next
fall
Prices will be higher than they were
for spring and from present indica-
tions the prices for spring, 1919, will
be still higher, due to the inability to
secure hides and skins from foreign
countries, where the greatest supply
of manufactured leather has hereto
fore been received by American tan
ners, also because Of the embargo
placed by the government on all skins
and hides coming from all neutral
and allied countries including those
Of South America, to say nothing of
the fact that the government has very
definite restrictions to limit the kinds
tured for civilian use. These condi-
tions have skyrocketed the price of
leather to figure even higher than
prevailed during the Civil War and
the shoe manufacturing trade faces
the serious problem of where and
how they are going to be able to Sc
cure a sufficient amount of leather
and other materials necessary to the
of shoes after the pres
ent supply is exhausted and in case.
the war continues.

IDAHO HARvESIERS
IN GREAT DEMAND
MOSCOW FIRM HAS SOLD OUT
ALL OF ITS OUTPUT AND HAS
RUSH ORDERS NOW

The demand for the Idaho Nationa
harvester, manufactured exclusively
in Moscow by home people, is fan
greater than the supply. Every ma
chine made for this season has al
ready been sold and a rush order fol
three more machines has been re-
ceived by telegraph and the factory
is working overtime to get these out
in time for the present harvest. A
telephone order from Walla Walla
asked that three of the machines be
made and shipped to thatspoint just
as quickly as possible and the order
will be filled, but it will require some
strenuous work.
The shipments so far: II carloads
to California; five carloads to Walla
Walla; four carloads to Grangeville;
two carloads to Vollmer and one car
load to Hyshan, Montana. In addi-
ton to these carload shipments (each
carload containing three complete
machines) many have been taken
direct from the factory by teams and
were not shipped over the railroad.
Incidentally Moscow is believed to
enjoy the distinction Of being the
only community in the northwest to
which the state Of California pays
tribute. Almost every other section
of the west and much of the east and
middle west contribute to the sup
port of California, but, thanks to the
Idaho National Harvester Company,
more than $4,000 of California mon
ey comes direct to this town this year
and will be spent here. The ship
ments of these machines to California
this year amounted to more than
$4,000, which is bringing back some
of the money spent by Idaho citizens
who spent the winter in that state.
Had the factory been able to get
more material and men the output
this year would have been consider
ably larger and there would have been
sale for every machine made. The
harvesters are recognized as the most
economical methon of harvesting
grain and an ordinary rrop will pay
for harvester in a single season by
saving the lost of putting the grain
in the sack.

{ BERLINERS GO BAREFOOT

i AMSTERDAM. - The alarming
state of the food situation in Vienna
is described in dispatch to the Ber-
lin Tageblatt, from it's Vienna cor
respondent, who says:
"The daily rations per head are
fixed at approximately three ounces
of bread and flour substitutes; one
ounce of meat, less than a quarter
ounce of fat, two and a half ounces
of potatoes, three quarters of an
ounce of jam and a quarter of an
ounce of war coffee, making the total
daily allowance seven and three-quar-
ters ounces"
These rations may be supplemented
by recourse to secret channels and
by the payment of exorbitant prices
the correspondent declares. For ex-
ample, flour can be secured by payl
ing the equivalent of from $3.50 to
SIS pound; meat at from $5.75 to 81,
and horse flesh at $3.50 a pound.
Meals at the middle class restaurants
cost $3.50.
Hungary Sees No Relief

vest there. Normal rations of bread
and flour, the minister said, certainly
could not be resumed before the end
