ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea Of the quantity OF
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l. 1914. to
January 1. 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Ad
ministration. In that period the Unit.
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57.1OO.933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for q, $40 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheai
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3S4 ,OOO. 900 bushels
Pork exports for the 3la years amount
ed to almost 1000 600, 600 pounds. Ex
ports of fresh beef totaled 4i3. 4S4. .4OO
pounds. The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies

Great Wheat Stocks

It's the shortage In ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat ratiOns.
Great stocks of wheat are iso
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January |. Australia had
stored lOO.OOO,OOO bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex.
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of S0,OOO..
go bushels. Now Australia has
approximately lS0,0OO,OO0 bush.
els waiting for ships
India, at the same time. nad
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
5O,OOO,0OO bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add l35.OOO.O 900 to
the left over.
II Is not problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely problem
Of shipping. which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ING our stock with the ALLIES.

Qriuin of Measurements

The word ell means arm, and thus
elbow means the joint or bend In the
arm. The ell measure was taken from
the arm of Henry /. and II that was a
yard and a quarter 1t was Of very un-
usual length! The capacity Of the hui
man body was also early put to the
use of measurement; thus we have
the expression, "A hop, step and
jump" "A stones throw" and the old
saying. "Within bowshOt away"

WHEREAS In this titanic

and to vouchsafe our liberties,
there has been a demand for the
loyal support of all the people in

with one voice, that this War
must be won and that the Stars
and Stripes must be triumphant
in the cause TO which it has dedi-
Gated itself:
We are mObilizing our armies

iarmies and our allies. We have
forged ahead with war prepara-
tions at a rapid pace and the way
we have modified our war mater
ials will be q marvel in the hist
lory of the world.
What we now need above all
else is ships; ships to carry our
boys to France; ships to haul our
shot, shell and food supplies to
our men who are fighting our
lbattles, and the only way TO do
this is to have a constant line of
ships from the shores of America
to those of France.
The crying need today is ships,
ships and more ships.
AT this time comes an urgent
call from the United States Ship
ping Board for immediate enroll
ment of 25O,OOO artisans and
skilled mechanics for service in
the shipping yards to be enrolled
under the name of THE UNITED
STATES SHIP YARD NOLUN-
ITEERS OF The PUBLIC SERV-
ICE RESERVE" In response to
this call in order that our sue
cess in this war may not be mem
laced by failure ON account of lack
of ships;
NOW, THEREFORE, l, MOSES
ALEXANDER, Governor of the
State of Idaho, hereby appeal to
the loyal, skilled workmen of this
State to lay aside all considera-
tions for personal profit and con-
vcnience and respond to the Ma
tion's call and enlist i'm this great
unit of the shipbuilders of the
Nation, and thereby place them
selves ON the same plane with the
boys who have gone to the battle

This appeal is directed partic-

While economy is the watch
word, patriotism supersedes the
word economy. For the present
there will be no special session
called. What may develop from
time to time no one can foresee,
but the interests of the state will
be safeguarded and the rights of
the people protected and the re
sources of the state of Idaho Will
be placed at the command of the
national government TO the full
est extent. If there are any ques-
tions arising that cannot be
solved without a special session,
one will be called, no matter
when it is and the necessity
thereof reduced to as few special
measures rs possible, SO that a
week OF ten days will be sufficient
for the session.

department of state government,
county and municipal, are cog
Infant of the enormous task that
confronts the nation and that the
world war ingrafts into the states
as we'll as the nation new condi-
tions, new powers and less limit
ations in the exercising thereof.
"With those ideas in mind and
after thorough discussion of
same with the attorney general
of the state, have not concluded
to call a special session.
81 have the assurance from the
lattorney general that there are
certain inherant powers vested i'm
the governor during war times
that can be exercised legally and
that being the case, l shall use
these powers whenever>it is for
the good of the nation"
On January IS the state coun-
Gil of defense held its first an
nual meeting of the year and af-
ter deliberating for two days de-
cided to recommend to the gov
ernor that the legislature be
called into special session at the
earliest possible moment to pass
legislation believed needed. The
recommendation were laid be-
fore Governor Alexander and Civ
EN- careful and serious cOnsidera-
tion by him. Among the legisla-
tiOn recommended was funds tC
, properly finance the council
warehouses in which to store the
crops raised i'm the state WheI
they could not be shipped; funds
to aid the farmers to purchase
, seed and other farm equipment
organization of a cOnstabulary

ture, both representative of the
farmers themselves, declared
, against an extra session in resO-
r lutions sent to the governor. The
session was recommended by
many members of the legislature
