GOOD NEWS FOR
WHEAT GROWERS
Chicago Prices Secured for
Coast Terminals.
(Spokesman-Review, Feb. 2O)


The delegation which went from
here to Washington to secure a
better minimum price for the 1918
wheat crop has been successful,
according to the following tele-
gram from E. T. Conan to R. In
singer, of the chamber of COM
merce.
Committee, with the Pacific
northwest senators and represen-
tatives, have secured concessions
which will assure our farmers Chi
cago prices at-Coast terminals for
the 1918 crop"
This will add, approximately,
$12,000,000 to the value of the In
land Empire wheat crop on the
supposition that there will be a
$4,000, ,000-bushel crop, which is
reasonable, with a good season.
Present indications point to $1.91
a bushel for wheat. Until now
$1.70a bushel was the basis. One
sixth of the wheat of the nation is
raised in the northwest.
MIR. Insinger said yesterday:
"The gratitude of all the people
of the northwest is due the com
mittee which achieved this result.
The difference in price to the
farmer will mean the difference
between the 30-cent freight rate
from here to Chicago and 81 to 9
cents freight rate from this dis
trict to the Pacific coast. Our
price for good wheat will be about
$1.91 for bulk and more for sack
ed grain. The committee also
has assurance that arrangements
are being made to provide grain
bag shipments from Calcutta.
The strong point of the delega-
ton from here was that the Pacif-
ic northwest raised more wheat
for export than any other section
of the country in proportion to its
population.

NEARLY READY FOR
THE NEXT DRAFT
Seventy Men Examined at
Grangeville Wednesday.

Concerning the next army draft,
Adjutant- General Moody of Ida
no says:
So far as draft matters are con-
cerned, the work is now nearly
completed up to the calling of the
next quota. We have not yet
been advised as to the number OF
men we shall be called upon to
supply, or when the draft will be
called. 1t is assumed that we
shall be required to furnish the
same number as before and we
have about the same number Of
credits as before, which will make
in round numbers 1000 for our
share of the next draft army. We
enjoy the proud distinction ol
having furnished more men in
proportion to our population than
any other state in the union, anc
it goes without saying that we are
more than proud of the class o.
men we sent to the colors.
The local draft board at Grange
vile on Wednesday passed fifty
one registrants for service. Ter
men who were in the doubtful
class were taken to Lewiston yes
terday by Clerk Tollefson of th'
draft board, to be examined b!
the medical advisory board.

EAT MORE POTATOES
Increased Use win Bring About
Saving Of Grain.
Agricultural Department Suggests Tu-
bers Be Given More Prominent
Place In Lunchsons-

Washington.-The eating Of more
potatoes for supper. or for luncheon,
If the family is accustomed to have din
ner at night. is suggestion Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. In order that the tremendous crop
Of tubers produced In the United
States this year may be utilized as
fully as possible and spoilage avoided.
Such Increased use should. at the same
time. bring about a saving Of grain,
since one common result of eating
more potatoes is the eating Of less
wheat bread. which is a reasonable
suggestion when one remembers that
both of them are used as source Of
starch In the diet. This reduction in
grain consumption is desirable. the de-
partment points out. and there Is great
need Of grain for shipment to our sol
liers aud to the soldiers and civilians
Of other countries engaged with US in
the war against Germany.
The use Of more potatoes for lunch
con should be a simple matter. in the
upiiiiVu VI SBtCldhcAS VI Ahc NCpoA =
ment Of agriculture: since practically
all Americans like potatoes and since
there are numerous ways in which the
tubers may be prepared to avoid a
sameness in the diet Potatoes, even
in their simplest forms-baked and
boiled-malSe good luncheon dishes.
They may also be used for making a
variety of dishes, uch as creamed
and escailoped p0f oes with or with
out cheese; stIf potatoes, potato
croquettes. and 5 on. Cowbination
dishes. such as hash. stews. meat pies
with potato crust. and 60 on. in which
considerable amount Of potato Is
used with other foods. may constitute
practically an entire luncheon, being
hearty enough to serve for the purpose
with little salad or fruit or sweets.

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS I

To anyone who doesn't know Of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-

The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions Of these toasted ciga-

enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Gross Society to the boys

This new process of treating tobacco

Supply sueculence.

The ration for the dry COW should
be formulated with three things in
mind, namely. to furnish sufficient
amount of protein to develop the fetus
properly and allow q surplus for the
needs of the body Of the COW; to sup
ply enough carbohydrates that the COW
may lay on little fat; and to supply
succulence. Some kind Of green feed
is very essential in the ration for the
COW at all times. It serves the pur-
pose Of maintaining the bowels in a
loose condition. which is necessary to
good digestion and assimilation Of
