RAISE MORE HOGS
Matter KOOtenai County Farm
trs Urged to Consider.

In urging the farmers Of koote-
mai county to consider the hog Sit
uation and the worlds need of
meat and fat, with a view to ad-.
justing their farm operations so as
to increase the production OF pork.
H. H. Beier, agricultural agent,
points out that there is decrease
of 81, 900, 600 hogs ia Europe, and
that the rate of slaughter in the
United States has increased 10 per
cent the last year.
He quotes the food administra-
tion as authority for the assertion
that there is IS per cent surplus
of corn and other feeds in the
United States and that if market
is to be found for this feed it must
be to great extent through an
increase of livestock.
An official statement from Wash
ington declares that the west will
be expected to supply feeder hogs
for the corn belt states next fall.

COUNTY LOSES CASE
Cannot Have All Of Water
Power Valuation.

Boise, Idaho. Kootenai county
last Friday lost its fight against
the state board of equalization
over the apportionment of valua-
tions on the Washington Water
Power company's property, when
the state supreme court declined
to issue to it writ of review.
The county sought to have the
court review the proceedings of
the equalization board for 1916, in
the belief that the state auditor
could be forced to apportion to It
tax moneys received from the
power company in Idaho
The equalization board assessed
the power company's property at
So, $50, 900, and when apportion
ing the tax money divided II
among the counties on the basis oil
transmission line mileage. The
company owns plant in kootenai
county, valued at 5000, 900. The
valuation on the plant was dlstri'
buted among the counties. Koote
mai county made the claim wher
presenting its petition in court thai
the equalization board should have
credited it with the entire value o
the plant. The equalization boarc
had asserted that such an appor
tionment would be contrary to law
In denying the application for
writ, the court held writ OF review
is not a proper remedy with which
to right the complaint made b.
Kootenai county, since the dutie
of the equalization board are Sc
out in the law, and there was moth
ing in the petition to show that tn
equalization board had not proper
ly performed its duties.

Squirrel Bounties.

Claims for bounties on ground
squirrels and gophers must be filed
with the state veterinarian,
Clarence VanDeusen, state auditor,
announced at Boise, Dec. "a. The
bounties became payable January
I, when the funds raised through
4 state tax were made available.
Several hundred claims were
filed Monday with the state
auditor. He turned them to the
state veterinarian, where they must
be passed on.
The state will have S45, 900 to
expend on bounties. That will be
sufficient to pay claims on 2,225,-
600 rodents.

An Unusual Winter.

Boise, Idaho. Idaho has had but
two other winters like the present
one since it was settled by white
people, according to "Uncie" John
HALEY, who has lived here since 1863.
The FIRST mild winter came in 1867
IS, he said Wednesday. The next
came 10 1879.80.
No snow fell in the valley either
winter, but much fell in the noun
tains. On both occasions spring
came early. The springs were not
unusually wet.
II believe that God is giving US a
mild, wet winter that we may raise
crops IN abundance and every farmer
should be in the felds plowing and
making ready to SOW" he declared
1--WE are in a great war and the
world is dependent upon US for food
and If Providence has come to ouI
assistance we should take advantage
of the opportunity to plant our grain.
II feel as though l wanted to gc
out into field and grip a pair oi
pl0w handles and commence to turr
over the earth, and wish that wa,
able to do it,"
"Uncle" John is of the opinion
that Idaho will raise bumper crops
next season, since the ground is goin,
TO be 10 better shape than for years
for planting. He is certain tina
sufficient snow will fall in The noun
tains to make water plentiful fo
irrigation purposes next summer.

CASH AND CARRY
Plan to Conserve Food and
Release Man Power

More than 400 grocers IN different
parts OF Idaho had last week Signited
their willingness To adopt the "cash
and carry" plan OF doing business,
effective January | or thereabouts,
SAYS signed statement by r. F.
Ricknell, state food administrator,
which Is being sent out In circular
form TO county chairmen Of the food
administration to merchant repre-
sentatives and to newspapers through
out the state.
1t is the intention Of the food ad-
minlstration, says this circular, Ito
publish from time to time in the
local press of the various communities
of the state the names of those loyal
merchants who are doing business on
cash and carry basis in Difference
to the governments desires, with the
view of causing the patronage of our
citizens to be taken TO those mer-
chants"
"All grocery merchants of this
state and other merchants, too, are
asked by this administration, says
the circular, "abolish the free delivery
system entirely, to make deliveries
only at charge to the customer and
to curtail those paid deliveries to the
minimum. BY cash is meant get
ting the actual cash in payment for
the goods when the possession thereof
is parted with. In this way the
overhead expenses about which the
grocers have complained for years
will be reduced to minimum, aud
accordingly will promote greater
business efficiency.
1.-The individual conveniences OF
merchants and consumers should give
way to this war economy measure fol
greater efficiency 10 business methods,
and the plan should be so viewed b,
everyone concerned"

To Punish Disloyalty.

The bulletin Of the state council Of
defense says:
''The time is rapidly approa ching
in Idaho when the disloyal--thUse
aiding Cur enemies by refusing assist
ance to their own country-will be
ferreted out. 1t is apparent even to
the most casual observer there are
some people absolutely blinded TO the
critical situation the nation faces;
who refuse, either deliberately or
through ignorance, to take home to
themselves its seriousness. Some of
them are thoughtleSs, others are
needless while not few are covertly
in sympathy with the enemies OF
their own country. With the
thoughtless there has been tolerance;
with the needless there is disgust and
against the latter class there Is
developing desire among the
patriotic and loyal to bring them TO
time. 1t is unfortunate that those
in all three classes cannot sea at this
time they are riding to fall.
1.-The thoughtless and needless
must be made to understand sacrifices
are expected of them. If they have
means and plead financial distress foT
refusal to take part Of the first VI
second Liberty Bonds; contribute tt

able war work, every community
should see that in the future thel
cease being slackers financially. /
