CLOSING HOURS
FOR STORES FIXED
COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
PERMITS CONFECTIONERY
STORES TO STAY OPEN
UNTIL IL p. M.

The regular weekly meeting of th'
defense council was held Wednesda,
evening. The matter of the opening
and closing hours Of the various bust
ness houses was up for consideration
| Food Administrator Martin read E
telegram from State Administrator
Bicknell in which he authorized the
county council and local food admin
istrator to fix the time as in then
! judgment was for the best interests
of the community.
The whole matter was reviewed by
the council and the hours fixed that
the various classes of business may
remain open for business from now
to October 1st were as follows: Gen
eral stores from a. m. to p. M,
except Saturday, when they may rel
main open until II p. m. Meat marl
kets the same as general stores, ex-
cept that they may open one hour
earlier Ice cream parlors and soft
drink establishments from z a. m. to
IL p. M, except Sunday, when they
will open at 8 a. m. and close at IL
p. m. Drug stores from 7 a. m. TO
$50 p. M, except Saturday, when
they may remain open until II p. m.
On Sunday they will be open from
8 a. m. until $50 p. m. Hotels, board
ing houses and restaurants will re-
main closed between the hours OF IL
p. m. and a. m. Hardware and i'm
plement houses will observe the same
hours as the general stores. Barber
shops may remain open from a. m.
to s p. M, except Wednesday and
Saturday. On Wednesday they will
close at p. m. and on Saturday at
10 p. m.
No hours were fixed for elevators
and warehouses, as they are essential
to the handling of the harvest and
should be opened and closed to accom-
modate the farmers to the fullest ex-
tent.
In making and enforcing these
rules it is recognized by the council
that common sense and good judg-
ment should prevail. The big job for
Latah county is to harvest the grain
crop, and it is hoped that all mer-
chants handling essentials will ac-
commodate the farmers in every way
by permitting them to obtain their
machinery, repairs and other essen
tials at any hour, night or day.
The thrift stamp drive was report
ed moving quite satisfactory.
, Francis Jenkins, chairman of the
Latah County Protective association,
called attention to the annual meet
ing of that organization on Saturday
next. The matter Of one or two in
dividuals' attitude toward war activ-
tiles were discussed and it was valid
that the same be referred to the pro-
tective association for action. 1t is
that possibly these cases
may be brought up for discussion at
the meeting Saturday.

MINING INDUSTRY
TO RECEIVE HELP
DEAN THOMSON RETURNS FROM
TRIP TO COEUR D'ALENE
DISTRICT

''The mining industry in the state
is to receive ample and adequate
recognition in the new plan of indus
trial training under joint state ano
federal auspices" according to Dean
Francis A. Thomson of the Idaho
school of mines, who has been dis
cussing the matter with Coeur d'Alene
mining men during the past week.
Miners, foremen, superintendents
and operators alike are deeply inter-
ested in the proposed plan, and prac-
tically all of them who have been in
terview have expressed themselves
favorably toward it,"
"The idea briefly is this, to organ
ize once a year at each camp, or pos
sibly at each of the big mines, a
school for practical miners. The
teacher will himself be throughly
skilled, experienced, practical miner,
and the teaching will most of it be
done underground in the working
mines.
The classes will last probably eight
weeks and will be composed of men
young enough to learn, which in some
cases might be SO or CO. The work
would, perhaps, naturally begin with
demonstration of the different types
of rock-drills, their construction, op-
Grafton and fabrication, care Of gas
kets, hose, ETC.; methods of drilling
holes, spacing of holes in the round,
most effective use of powder, means
of taking advantage of slips and
breaks in the face, bottom or back to
be drilled, and in short, to fit prom
Using men to become skilled miners
in less time than is possible under
present conditions, it will in no sense
be a substitute for experience, but
will enable men to profit more rapidly
by their experience. Young men to
whom the plan has been explained
have been quick to see that such
training will enable them to better
themselves by earning more money
whenever there is difference in pay
between mucker and miner, or where
there is a chance for contract work
where extra skill means extra money.
To the ambitious man it will offer
greater chance for working his own
or for promotion to place
as shift-boss of large mine or fore
man of a small mine, as soon as
training shall have been enriched by
Other lines Of instruction, such as
timbering, sampling, and
the like, will doubtless suggest them
selves as the work develops.
The federal act providing in CO.
operation with the states, the neces-
sary funds for this work is known as
the Smith-Hughes' act. The schools
to be thus established may possibly
be known as the Smith-Hughes Min
ers' Trade school. The expenditure
Of the fund in this state is under the
direction Of Commissioner E. A.
Bryan, and it is upon his instruction
that the school of mines is working
upon the matter.
AS ip any new enterprise, there
WILL of course, be difficulties and OBJ
stacles to be overcome. One of these
is of course the shortage of young
men. There will, however, be small
number of eligible men at each mine,
and it may be well to begin on

small scale, with a view to having
the plan in full operation as a going
concern "when the boys come home"
and need help in finding their civilian
feet. The first three or four schools
will be in the Occur d'Alene, after
which the next sessions will be some
where in southern Idaho.

At The Theatre
At the Topic Today.

"Face Value" with Mae Murray,
star of Bluebird photoplays, comes to
the Topic theatre today. The plot is
brief: A little girl escapes the squal-
or of poverty to make her own liv-
ing. One Of her early associates fol-
lows her and brings suspicion of crime
upon her. She is sentenced to a re-
formatory, but escapes from her keep
ers by jumping from a moving train
into the waters that swirl beneath the
bridge. She is rescued by a young
man with lots Of money, who takes
her to his home and induces his moth
er to take the girl into the family.
Again the crook who had been her
early accuser turns up at social
function, ,an,d the girl, through his
connivery, is suspected of diamond
robbery. The young man who has be-
friended her proves she is innocent
and after all the girls trials and trib-
ulations comes the "happy ending" to
climax a thoroughly good entertain
ment.

that has heretofore been achieved on
the screen. 1t is the first time that
an historical narrative has been act
ed out before motion picture cam
era without an admiXture of fiction.
It is striking historical document,
plain record of facts minus fiction,
which none can misunderstood; of the
madness of dynasty drunk with au-
tocracy. Nothing that can happen will
ever be able to efface this photo
graphic record which will be handed
down to future generations. After
seeing the filri, President Wilson said:
"Let the American people see this
picture and the Kaiserism will be
wiped from the face Of the earth.
This picture will live as long as there
i; an American republic.'

MEATlEss DAYS
Result in rs Per Cent.
Decrease in Consump-
ton Saws Armour

Chicago. JAN 3.-Meatiess days have
resulted in a 25sper cent. decrease in con-
sumption, according TO the report OF Ar
mour 6; Co. today.
The business Of the company in the
United States in 1917 amounted to $5l5,-
100000, on which a net profit OF s2l,oOooo
was earned. The FIRMS business in pro-
ducts originating in this country-soid
both here and abroad-was 10000
greater than the world business of the
firm in 1916.
The net income was equivalent to 14.9
per cent on invested capital, or p per
cent. on capital stock. The profits from
the sale of meat and other food products
amounted to 221 cents on each dollar OF
sales In 1916 Armours' total profits were
$50 100 coo, or 1i7 per cent. on investment
and 20 per cent. on capital stock. J. Og-
den Armour in a statement accompanying
the financial report offers as an explana-
ton for the high price of meat products
during the past year the fact that live
meat animals cost approximately 81 per
cent more than they did in the preceding
year
In regard to meatless days, he said that
these have proved beneficial in reducing
consumption and enabling the packers to
