YOU MUST SAVE FOOD
NOW OR BE CLASSED
AS COuNTRY'S ENEMY

If you heard the speech of DR.
Ray Lyman Wilbur and do not at
once cut out wheat and all other
foods needed by our soldiers and
allies, it Is because you are either
pro-German and are determined
to help the enemy or you are SIM
ply an American hog, with due
apologies to the hog, animated by
no higher purpose than to gorge
your gullet and grunt with bestial
satisfaction, deaf to the appeal
from starving millions across the
sea, and depriving the men who
are fighting for our freedom of the
means to bring victory to our
arms. DR.. Wilbur painted the pic
ture in such startling colors, and
yet without eXaggeration, that his
hearers were thrilled with de-
sire and resolution to go to the
very limit of sacrifice in the con-
servation of food. 1t was a Won
derful presentation and made an
impression such as the people of
this city have never received be-
fore. 1t brought them to a full
realization Of their duty, and they
will not only perform it, but they
will see that every food Stacker
does the same. or stands exposed
to his fellow citizens.
Dr. Wilbur Ii graduate of
Stanford, the institution of which
he Is now president. In his stu
dent days he was intimately asso-
ciated with Herbert Hoover, the
food administrator. and the two
men are still united in the warm
est friendship. Mr. Hoover Is now
one of the regents of Stanford.
When he was placed at the head of
food administration, president Will
bur was one of the first men call
ed to his assistance and he has
taken an active part in the organ
ization of the division and Is large
ly responsible for the food admin
istration.

'COEUR D'ALENE MINING COMPANIES FILE
STATEMENTS SHOWING NET PROFITS IN 1877

TN THE TABULAR statement be-

ranies of Shoshone county. These
statements show in detail the gross
tons of ore produced, gross value, cost
of extraction, freight and treatment.
betterments and repairs, net profit and
net loss. The statements are submit
ted under oath in conformity with the
state law as means of arriving at the
net profit which is the basis Of taxa
tion so far as the mine is concerned.
Right here it is well to again correct
the erroneous impression that seems
i to prevail in some quarters that the
tax on net profits is all the tax that is
exacted from the mining companies
This system is adopted in preference
to attempting to place valuation up
on ore in the ground, which Is obvi-
ously physical impossibility, and be-
sides its value is subject to change
through variation in the market value
VI Tic HlStdlSi cOSt VI pTOuuCtlOn, eCC.
The Idaho law. therefore, exacts a tax
on net profits, but it does not stop
there. All patented mining claims
are taxed on the valuation fixed by the
government, and all improvements
such as buildings, machinery, equip
ment of all kinds, power plants, water
rights etc. In other words, the min
Ing companies pay taxes on all prop
erty held by them just as all citizens
do, and in addition they pay the same
rate Of taxation on their profits.
The filing Of these reports, in addi-
tion to accomplishing the purpose for
which they are intended, gives the
public a most interesting insight to
the magnitude of the mining indus
try in this county They are absol-
utely reliable and their publication has
proved a most valuable means of at
tracing the attention of investors to
the opportunities offered in the Coeur

MISREPRESENTATION
sUBscRlBEs $4,000
FOR LIBERTY BONDS.

The Consolidated Interstate
Callahan Mining company yester-
day subscribed for Liberty bonds
to the amount of $4,000. This
subscription brings the total
amount for Shoshone county
probably above $1,150,00O. accord
ing to an estimate made by James
II. Mccarthy, chairman of the
bond drive, and he expressed the
opinion that outstanding subscrip-
tions would bring the fianl total
for this county up to $1,200,000
The apportionment for Shoshone
county was $S50,o00, and if Mr..
McCarthy's expectations are real
lied the county will go over the
top to the extent of $350,000. A
fine record for which every patri-
otic citizen may feel justly proud.
At last accounts Ada county,
which was expected to subscribe
practically the same amount as
Shoshone, had not reached the
minimum apportionment. This
county will no doubt lead all other
counties in the state, distinction
which 1t earned also in the former
drives
Mr.. Mccarthy states that the
county has been closely combed
and he does not expect the last two
days of the drive to materially
change the estimate given above.
The Boy Scouts will be very busy
until the end of the drive and it is
expected that they will add several
thousand dollars to the amount al
ready credited to them.
No definite figures have been re-
ceived from the state as whole,
but it Is believed that the sub
scriptions will be we'll in excess of
the allotment In the meantime
every citizen is urged to round up
every scattering subscription, for
the government is counting on a,
large over subscription. The larg-
er the over subscription, the longer
it will be before it will be neces-
sary to make another drive.

Bids have been opened by the
Rock Island city officials received
from contractors for work to be

the government housing plans.
Water mains and sewers are to
be laid and grading is also to be
done. The Littig Construction com
pany is the only firm to bid on the
grading. The company agrees to
grade Seventeenth avenue from
FOrty-fourth to Forty-sixth street

sum is the same as estimated by the
city, and the contract will be let

structiOn company of ST Louis for
the laying of water mains and sew
er on Sixteenth, Seventeenth and
Eighteenth avenues. The local bid
der was considerably lower than
the st. Louis company in several
items pertaining to the laying of
sewers and water mains.
The local contractor has also
agreed to deduct $40 for each man
hole where the city furnishes the
brick. Commissioner n. A. Juhl
announces that he has taken steps
in the past to save the best of old
paving brick and that this material
will be furnished the contractor.
There are Sc man-holes to be con-
structed and with the saving of $40
each the city will save a total of
1920 on this item.

bidder for the laying of water mains
on Twenty-siXth street be-
tween y-second-and-a-hal
and Twenty-third avenues. This

Regarding the stock secured for
distribution County Farm Advisor
Palmer +. Edgert0n says:
These ewes are an eXtremely
uniform lot Of bIack-faced year
Hngs. There is not a Gull in the
bunch. You never had a better OPP
portunity to get into the sheep bus
mess than YOU have now. Further
more. YOU are getting these ewes
worth the money with no eXOrbitant
middlemaus profit tackled on. To
date. this amounts TO $17S5 per
head. This amount is Slightly more
than the cost. but il is so fixed in
order TO take care Of any loss that
might be sustained in the transac-
ton. Any money left over will be
prorated TO each man according to
his purchase.
Our original plan was to keep
the ewes and breed them and put
them out about Dec. !, but there
has been such a keen demand for
these ewes to 20 out at once that
the committee has decided on an
immediate distribution.
a number Of pure bred Shrop-
shire bucks have been bought, and
these bucks will be sold at cost,
S25 per head. to anyone wanting a
buck 70 go with his ewes. These
bucks will be on the ground the
day the ewes are distributed so you
can see them and make your selec-
ton.
For those wanting only a few
head it Will be possible for two or
three such men to go together and
purchase q ram, or if desirable the
committee will keep these ewes and
breed them and distribute them
about Dec. l. the purchaser paying
the pasture rent on the ewes.
First Come. First Served. e..
Nov about orders. The orders
will be filled as fast as they come
in and q gate cut made on deliv-
cry day. There will be no sorting
as the uniformity of the bunch
makes this unnecessary
First chance will be given to

If there are any left over then 9TH

SOCIALISM.

Socialism has made great strides in
the country. 1t has been encouraged and
helped by situations which have existed
here for the past five or six years, and
the attitude of some of the present offi-
Gals at Washington has been of material
benefit There are in the Government
service today hundreds of Socialists, who
are presumably pacifists, but who are
holding important offices and doing i'm
portant work. Socialism is developing
in Washington so rapidly that it is diff
cult to keep pace with it. 1t is true that
it is peculiar kind of superficial. social
ism which adopts this new theory be-
cause it is apparently popular, and there
are some persons with well-known names
picturesquely identified with it. Never
theless, it must not be ignored, for the
seed is being sown in the departments
for reaping in the hereafter The Gov
eminent ownership of the railroads is
simply phase of Socialism, and it is en-
couraging that there is so little backing
for the idea in the present Congress-
However, it seems to be the usual thing
in this country to permit such propa-
ganda to 60 along and gather force and
strength until it becomes menace. And
this tendency must be kept in mind

Fire at Lincolnville Beach.

Fire soon after midnight April 10th,
destroyed four buildings at Lincolnville
Beach and endangered large part of the
village. The FIRE started in kob's store
in the Freeman Building, owned by Lucy
Freeman of this place, in the second story
of which was Freeman's Hall. 1t burned
the post office building owned by Mrs.
Fred Cassens of this place, and occupied
by Roy Hurd; the brick house owned by
Ella Pendleton, and the Freeman stable,
occupied by Ross -Fernald. Most of the
property was insured. The Hallet house
was somewhat damaged. The loss will
amount to fully $4,000. Heroic work by
a bucket brigade saved much more prop
erty. The Camden alarm was sounded
and many went up from there.
