ANOTHER JEROME BOY PAYS
THE SUPREME SACRIFICE

On Monday of this week Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Worthjngton received
word from the Adjutant General ad
vising them of the death of their
son Robert which occurred October
3rd while at the front. No details
were given in the telegram.
Robert Worthington was the sec
ond son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Worthington of Jerome and before
entering the service made his home
here with his aged parents. At the
time of enlistment Bob" as he was
more familiarly known claimed no
exemptions although he could have
done so on account of his parents
who are we'll along in years. His
claiming no exemptions can be read
to answer the call of his country.
And that this young man who has
always been one of the mainstays of
his parents should oe called makes it
doubly sad.
Robert was last home on a short
furlough from Camp Lewis early in
May and at this time was loud In
his praise of the army life and eager
to be able to go overseas to help gel
the kaiser. This privilege was de.
MED him until a few weeks ago wher
he was sent overseas and at once en-
gagged in some of the fiercest fighting
of the war
The unfortunate young man leaves
a mother, father, two sisters ant
two brothers to whom the sympath,
of the entire community is extended

BOYS ARE DESTRUCTIVE
TO LOCAL STREET LIGHTS
Shoot Them Out With "Beanies'' and
Air Rifles

During the past week or ten days
the Power company has made re-
placements of street lights to the
number OF nearly a dozen. These
lights in nearly every instance were
broken, and presumably by boys with
"beanies" or air rifles. This from
monetary standpoint is becoming
quite serious, as these street lights
will average about $500 per lamp;
aside from the inconvenience caused
the public in being in darkness at
the street crossings, SO affected.
In one instance the parties respon-
sible for this source of trouble if
known and, while the Power COM
pany doesn't care to cause suit to
be brought, it will warn the parents
of all boys owning air rifles and
"nigger' shooters to caution them
against the destructive use OF these
play things. Otherwise if the pres
ent breakage of street lamps from
these means doesn't cease, the Pow
er company will be forced to make
an example of some of these boys
m uch to their sorrow.

DECISION IN WATER CASE
Supreme Court Holds That State
Cannot Refuse Carey Act Entry

The state supreme court last Sat
urday handed down decision ar
fecting water rights under the sys-
TEN Of the Idaho Irrigation company
In the case OF A. l.. Furbee VS.. the
state board of land commissioner.
This case was brought at the instiga-
ton OF the irrigation company for
the purpose of establishing its right
TO continue the sale OF water rights
after It's entire available water sup
ply had been disposed OF. The state
land board some months ago, de
cided that no more entries would be
allowed and this action was brought
to compel the board to allow plain
tins entry.
A number of water users fled a
petition In Intervention. setting forth
their prior rights as water users,
that the entire water supply OF the
company was exhausted by the ater
rights already sold and that further
sales would impair the rights OF
prior purchasers. The supreme court
refused to give consideration to this
petition. holding that these water
users must seek relief in some otner
form of action.
The decision OF the court is In
favor OF the plaintifr. the court hold.
ing that the state land board has nc
discretionary power to refuse Care,
act entry after public notice has beer
given that the land involved is oper
to entry and while such notice is lefi
standing unimpaired."
II is understood to be the inten
tion OF the company to continue the
sales OF water rights, notwithstand
ing the report OF the state engineel
that the available water supply i
sufficient only for the water right
already sold. To prevent such ex
cess sales the water users severa
months ago. filed an Injunction sui
against the company. This suit 4
pending n the federal ciourt and 1T 4
understood that It will now be push
ed to trial.
The United States court OF appeal
In the Salmon river cese, held tina
Carey act company could not b
compelled to sell water rights In eS
cess OF it's water supply, but ther
has been no decision on the point
to whether a company can be permit
ted to sell water when 1t has no wat

Smaller newspapers find 1t impos-
sible to make all the reports and
comply with all the regulations and

OF course, after the war some of
these interferences with the liberty

are disheartened.
The government has not fully ap-
preciated the loyalty or the devotion
OF the press in helping put through
every need of cur country.

SWIFT & CO.'S REPLY TO THE
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
Large Part of War Earnings Expect
ed to Disappear When Prices
Go Down.

Boston.-Swift & Co., have pre-
pared q reply to the accusations of
the Federal Trade Commission filed
with a senate subcommittee on Sep
tember %.
The company states that In its
whole consideration Of profits. the
Federal Trade Commission fails to
realize that the profits reported by
the packers are not profits that have
actually appeared In the form of cash
but are largely book profits tied up
in inventory which will undoubtedly
disappear in large measure when
prices begin to go down. Even IL
the war lasts five years longer and
the drop in prices does not come un-
til then, the loss will be just as real.
For the meat and by-products de-
partments, which are subject to the
nine per cent limitation of profits,
the statement continues, the rate of
turnover is approximately three and
one-third times a year. ut must be
rem mbered that part of the steer
consists of by-products which move
slowly, that some of the beef is cured
and salted, and large portions of
pork products consists of cured pro-
ducts which move very slowly and
that even in the sale of strictly fresh
meat it takes some time for the mon
ey to return to the companys Golfers
after the actual sale is made.
'The commission says that the
packers profit of one-quarter of a
cent per pound on beef amounts to
SIS a ton as compared to only 25
cents per ton profit on coal. AS a
matter of fact an average quality
ton of beef is worth at wholesale at
present about $500, whereas a ton
of anthracite coal at tidewater is
worth only about 81. Compare SIS
profit on a $400 sale with 25 cent
profit on 81 sale. The beef profit
is only about Il per cent, coal pro-
fit 311 per cent.
"In 1911 Swift & Co. filed over
30,0OO.000 orders of all products
with a total of about 200, 100000
items, a large part of which had to
be weighed and wrapped separately,
while coal is delivered In carlots or
ton lots"

ALL WHEAT BREAD
AGAIN ALLOWABLE
Government Throws ON All Restx1c.
items But Cautions Against Waste

The American public may now eat
all wheat bread. The white loaf may
return to Uncle Sans table.
The food administration has an
nounced that all regulations requir-
ing use of wheat substitutes in bak-
ing are suspended However. Ad-
ministrator Hoover still advocates
restricted consumption of wheat
bread.
Already plans are being perfected
to care for accumulated stocks of
cereals. Under the new order the
course grains will be used mostly for
animal feeds.
Millers who have trouble dispos-
ing of substitutes acquired before
November IL probably will be able
to sell them to the food administra-
tion grain corporation which is form
ulating plans to purchase such GER
eals.

SAVE OUR SHEEP
AND LIVE STOCK

In some of the big wool growing
states of the west it is proposed to
enact laws to protect sheep and live
stock against neglect.
High wages paid in other lines of
work and scarcity of labor has en-
abandon their flock without notice.
The result has been some losses
from sheep wandering away and get
ting caught in severe storms and
great suffering from starvation.
1t is proposed to make 1t a peni-
tentiary offense for sheep herder
to leave his band under such circum-
stances without thirty days notice,
to allow owner time to make other
arrangements and prevent loss and
starvation.
While the legislatures are about
II they should provide penalties to
punish owners of sheep and live stock
OF all kinds, for neglect.
Owners of range cattle or sheep
should be required by law, as 1t is
to their own interest, to provide ade'
Iouate shelter over winter.
The state domestic animal com
mission should make survey ane
require flock owners to have the
proper amount of feed end suitable
shelter.
The disposition to take long chan
hl
nation millions of dollars In losse
and suffering incalculable.
The dumb brute cannot speak TO
itself and this appeal is to enlighte'
humanity and intelligent self-mteres
TO save food animals.

TOO MUCH TNTERFERENCE

Various boards. politicians and

istration made plans to gather facts
from many sources in various sec
