IN recent letter to the sugar
beet growers of Idaho, Mr.. L. W. Flu
harty, Director of Extension, Univer-
sity of Utah, said:
"a study of the sugar resources OF
OF the United States indicates that
this is one of our most acue food
needs is produced In a comparatively
few states and only In restricted
areas. The increase In total sugar
production for the state will natural
ly be limited on account Of the small
acreage tributary to the factories
since he freight rate on beets is so
high as to preclude shipping great
distances"
Idaho has increased her sugar
production materially during the past
season but the increase during 1918
must be far greater II we are to meet
our share of the sugar shortage OF
the nation. 1t would therefore seem
the best farm practice to increase
wheat production mainly In those
districts where beet growing is not
possible and every effort consistent
with good farm practice should be
put forth for increasing beet tonnage
throughout all the areas tributary
to sugar factories"

have their cases appealed by the ap-
peal agents of the government, the

This means that many of these mar

Immediately available for military
service.
These married men in many in
stances claimed exemption on account
OF marriage and the board have plac-
ed them in classes 2 and 4, which re-
moves them from immediate call for
military service. BY directing the
government appeal agents to appeal
their respective cases, they run the
chance Of being taken out of the pre-
ferred classification.

Previous mention has been made
in these columns of a long hike being
made by a young lady giving her
name as Lois Fisk, who represented
that she was walking on wager
with New York board of trade, the
wager to be paid to the Red Cross.
The following item, taken from the
Gooding Leader. tells of the unfor-
tunate condition of this lady:
During the past week there have
been some interesting developments
in the case of Lois Fisk, who last
week was found lying unconscious on
the railroad track between Wendell
and Bliss and brought to Gooding,
suffering from internal injuries. 1t
has been learned that she is the wife
OF Morris Miller of Sioux City, Iowa (;
that she has been confined in the in
sane asylum at Cherokee. Iowa, from
which she was released on parole in
the belief that she had recovered, and
that her story about walking across
the continent for a Red Cross purse
is all a myth.
Mr.. Miller, the woman's husband,
arrived from Sioux City last Satur-
day and a sister, Mrs. Crocker. came
from Salt Lake. They stated that
Mrs. Miller is afflicted with a mania
for running away and wandering over
the country and could not be control
led, and once attempted suicide. On
this thip she has supported herself
by working at hotels at various plac-
es. Her relatives probably will re-
turn her to the asylum.
Mrs. Miller claimed that she had
been beaten by a farmer near Wen
dell and W. T. Bartles was arrested
for the alleged offense. However, as
Mrs. Miller would be the principa
witness against him, and the testi
mony Of an insane person would MOI
be given much weight, the case prob
ably will be dismissed and the man
ner In which she was injured will
never be definitely determined.

The Loafers and the Work to BE Dons

The Loafers and the Work to BE Done
Idaho's loafers and idlers should
be put to work. The man who IL
loafing around the pool halls and card
rooms, wasting his time, should be
made to see the error of his ways
and If he does not voluntarily get to
work he should be made to work.
When the nation is at war. no mans
time is his own. 1t belongs to tho
government. If the government can
conscript the young men-the very
flower of the country-for military
we'll. This should apply to the rich
loafer as we'll as the ordinary vag-
rant.
If there is no state law to reach
this class which Is not contributing
to the nations needs, the nrst act of
the legislature, In the event 1t Is call
ed ino special session, should be to
place one on the statute books. 1t
should have real teeth" In It and be
similar in that respect to the criminal
syndicalism and sabotage laws.
Lacking such a law stringent vag-
rancy ordinances should be passed by
municipalities to deal with the loaf
er until the legislature can act Pow
er should also be vested in some rec
ognized authority to close tho doors
of pool halls and card rooms whore
it is found they harbor, from day to
day, the idle.
There are hundreds of able-bod-
led men freQuenting these places of
amusement without a care on their
minds. Most of them are either un-
der or over the conscription ages.
While they idle. the farms and in
dustries of the state cry for assist
ance. A census of the men in Idaho
should speedily determine who are,
and who are not, uefully employed.
1t should be taken, and the state
council of defense will probably see
that it is. Lack OF labor is one OF
the big, serious problems before Ida
no. 1t is an issue that must be solv-
ed Putting the loafers to work is
one way of doing so. Idaho can leg
islate the power the eonscript them.
1t should do SO without hesitation

SNOW REPORT AT JACKSON LAKE
Rapid Run-On In the Spring VIII Az
ford Average Water Supply Is
Assurance Given

Word from Joseph Markham, gate
tender at the Jackson lake dam, re-
ceived by the Twin Falls Canal Com
pany, is that the amount Of snow ac-
cumulated to January IL on the wat
ershed tributary to the Jackson lake
reservoir is slightly less than the av-
erage for this season of the year.
There is depth of % inches OF snow
at the dam, four feet at the Snake
river station, four feet at Cascade
and nine feet on the Thumb divide
in the park. The snow is compact
and on account of rains throughout
the watershed during the past month.
it contains a considerable amount Of
moisture.
Provided there is a quick run-off
in the spring, it is anticipated, the
amount of snow accumulated this
year as that last year will make up
for the light winter indications
point to at present.

for Fighting Forces

More than a half a million books
already have been furnished soldiers
and sailors in training camps and in

sociation War Service and the flow is
steadily increasing. according to the
director of this work.
A campaign for funds inauguarted
by the association last autumn net
ted more than $1,5OO,OO0 and real
results in the tangible shape of books
and comfortable libraries are being
felt by the soldiers and sailors. The
Carnegie Corporation gave $4,000
for the erection of camp libraries.
Nearly all camps now have libraries
and in the others the buildings are
in course of construction. The reading
rooms accommodate ESQ men.
For the men in france the associ-
alton has organized distributing sta
tions az all points of embarkation
where books are assorted for ship
ment abroad. Soon every soldier who
steps on a transport will carry a
book with him. which he and his COM
panions will read on the way across
after which 1t will be forwarded to
the men back OF the trenches. No at
tempt will be made to establish lib
raries In France, but the association
