Community Choral Society

The Choral Society met in the High
School Auditorium Tuesday evening.
A few members were absent, which
greatly hindered our practice. All
please make it point to be at every
rehearsal, for your absence makes it
very hard for those who come, and
every time you are absent prolongs
our work. Next rehearsal will be at
the Presbyterian church at p. m.
All members are urged to come; also
bring some one with you who is in
terested in music. The cause is a
worthy one.

handsomely. Mr.. Craig yesterday esti-

Beans and spuds Are Not Substitutes

Beans and Spuds Are Not Substitutes
Beans, potatoes and other products
specified as substitutes heretofore,
will not be recognized as such in the
future, according to telegram sent
to all county chairmen by R. F. Bick-
nell, food administrator for Idaho,
that reads:
effective Immediately, beans and
potatoes will no longer be permitted
to be sold as substitutes with wheat
flour and bran. Shorts and middlings
will not be recognized as authorized
substitutes. The only substitutes per-
mitted from now on are those named
on the original list-corn meal, corn
starch, corn flour, hominy, corn grits,
barley flour, rice, rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats, buckwheat flour, potato
flour, sweet potato flour, soya bean
flour, feterita flour, tapioca flour.
Effective Immediately certificates
by consumers that they have in their
possession the required substitutes to
balance wheat flour purchases will no
longer be acceptable. In other words,
with every purchase of flour there
must be a purchase at the same time,
pound for pound, of the authorized
substitutes. Package wheat cereal
goods now held in stock by whole
salers and retailers may be sold with
out substitutes, but not as substitutes.
This permission is given for present
stocks only now on hand, not for fu-
ture stocks.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

The contract for the building of the
bridge across the Farmers canal on
Washington street was awarded to
Charles E. Hughes at his bid of $1946.
The bridge will be of cement and a
very substantial structure. The road
way will be reinforced by 36-foot steel
railroad rails laid in the cement.
These were donated by the Short Line
railroad. The width of the bridge
will be 80 feet, and provided with a
railed-in passageway for pedestrians
on each side. Construction is now un-
der way.
The sprinkling district has been
enlarged to include Commercial ave-
nue. and Boise avenue to Fourth street
Ordinances vacating street in Riv-
erside addition and forbidding placing
signs over sidewalks were passed.
Users of the sewer who are in the
habit of throwing potato parings and
other similar refuse into the sewer,
must desist from such practice. The
council has given strict orders to the
marshal to arrest all who do so in the
future. The sewer is intended for
water only.

RED CROSS
NEEDS HELP
Urgent Call for Assistance by Sur
gical Dressing Section.

From the hospitals on the Western
front where the allied armies have
been battling desperately to "halt the
Hun" since March 21, comes a call
for more bandages and dressings for
the wounded soldiers who have placed
their bodies as barrier between our
homes and the bestiality of a Hun
nish invasion The quota asked from
the Emmett Surgical Dressing Class
has been doubled for this month. More
help is needed if it is to be provided.
More help must be had on this work.
If there is a woman or man who can
possibly spare an hour or more dur
ing the day or week, they should see
Mrs. V. T. Craig, who is in charge
and get their assignment.
While you may not have brother,
son or husband there to give you
personal interest, those who are op-
posing the horrible frenzy of the pow
er-maddened Kaiser are somebody's
dear ones and entitled to demand of
YOU and all of US the first of care,
even if it requires the sacrifice of
some of our comforts and pleasures
If you have an hour you can give
to the Red Cross or other war work
and are not doing so, you are
"slacker" and sooner or later your
neighbors will find it out.
Don't wait for public opinion to
force you to do the duty your con-
science tells Won YOU should do.
