THREAD 81 A SPOOL

Wartime luxuries Twelve months
ago, Injuries of today were common
place. Pork, sugar, white bread, certain
fabries-the list is increasing dailv
But we have not yet begun to suffer
the privation experienced by European
nations, belhgerent and neutral. be-
cause of the war.
In certain European countries il is a
luxury to be able to wear mended
clothing, because a spool of thread
costs dollar. Think of cooking one Is
food, and then pouring water into the
kettle in which it was cooked and
cooking the kettle that nothing NAV
be wasted. And If this is not bad
enough, thinking of having no food to
cook and no kettle to put il in. if
some kind person should give it. These
are the hardships that are being en-
dured in Flanders and France.
Prof. Stoughton Holborn, of Oxford.
told a Washington, D. c. audience re-
GENTLY that the English woman who
appears in new dress apologies for
doing so, and that his first impression in
this country was of extravaganza and
waste in food and clothing. "Only
three-quarters of pound of butter has
come into my British home in the last
three months" he said.
A year ago one of the Y. NJ. C. A.
speakers assured us that Americans
have not begun to learn the meaning
of the word sacrifice" Anyone who
has food to eat, even of the plainest.
and fuel to burn, and clothes enough
to keep warm ought to celebrate
Thanksgiving day every morning.

A coLoRED BOY IN FRANCE

Wallace Press Times: After while
when the casualty lists which come
by cable from the front carrying names
from every community; when eyes are
dry from determination and hearts are
steeled to every word of news which
may come across, we will perhaps take
scant heed of the cases of individuals.
In due time when the bugles of peace
shall have been sounded we perhaps
shall count the items which make the
whole. But during the great stress
which seems soon to approach, we
will have thought of but one thing,
results
Now, while we wait, we hear the
reports and they are of the small
things which make the whole. We
hear now of deaths of the few, and
they make us shudder. And again we
hear of the death of some one we 90
not know, of whom we have not
heard, but the circumstances warns
us to an appreciation of that which
is to come.
Here is a story of a colored boy,
who died unknown tower there 1t
was the first funeral from the
trenches in that unit. Rev. Henry
Wilds Smith, who is with the Sam
mics, writes of it. He says:
"A day or two ago we had our first
funeral It was not one of our boys,
but a colored boy from Alabama, who
had been brought into our hospital.
For some days it was known that he
could not live, and l had visited him
several times No coffins had come,
so the boys made a pine box. We
gave him soldiers funeral; as good
as a general would have. We wrap
ped him in the United States flag,
half filed the grave with holly, then
taps were sounded. How shrill it
over the chilly French feldsl
So that is the end of the colored boy
from Alabama Aye, not the end, but
the beginning He must have had a
mark of idlealsm or he would not
have been here. Somehow, it got hold |
If the boys and me. -

Comparison with February of pr,
WOULD FIX FARM LABOR PRICE
Maximum Wage of 80 Cents an Hour
NO Pay for Loss of Time.

At a recent meeting of the State
Farm bureau, an association of the
presidents of the various county farm
bureaus of idaho, it was recommended
that harvest hands or extra help en-
ployed by the day should not be paid
more than 30 cents an hour or
So, with board, for a day of
ten hours and with a maximum of
10 cents an hour for overtime
with an understanding that time be
taken out for delays from storms or
other acts of providence. 1t was fur
ther recommended that 81 additional
should be paid hands who board them
selves. Sixty dollars a month, with
board, was given as the maximum farm
wage to be paid during 1918. The
price recommended for potato piekers
was cents a sack of 100 pounds for
picking, said price to include board;
when pickers board themselves the
price is to be 6 cents a sack.
Committees were appointed to con
slider the wage scale for machine and
engine men and picking fruit
The Idaho State Farm bureau is
said to represent 5000 farmers of the
state and the meeting above mentioned
was held in connection with the labor
committee of the State Council of De
Tense and the directors of farm
markets.

BRAINS AND PUBLICITY

+ Pocatello Tribune: Keen men a,e al
wa s reaching out for bigger and bHtter
things. They are not satisfied with hold
ing the same trade year after year.
They are always reaching out for more.
A newspaper does not have to use any
long winded arguments to convince slch
mcl about advertising They Believe
in it already. The only thing neees-
sary is for the solicitor to convince
them that his proposition is sound arfd
worth the money he asks. The adj
vertising merchant is the best one for
the public to patronize, because of the
temper and characteristics revealed by
the fact that he does advertise. This
shows that he is not satisfied with
things as they always were The same
spirit of enterprise that urges him to
seek new trade by advertising, leads
him to seek better bargains, higher val
ues, and more satisfactory service.

French war honors have come to an
Idaho boy. He is Robert L. Nourse of
Boise, former Princeton football star,
and he has been cited for bravery by a
French general and awarded the Croix
de Guerre, for heroism under fire.
Nourse enlisted with the French am
bulance corps while at Princeton, and
went abroad with number of college
men He was injured while establish
ing post behind the French lines,
and within range of German shells.
So far as is known, Nourse is the first
Idaho soldier to be thus honored by
the French.

FORGOT WHAT HE NEEDED

From the Republican, Mt Giliad
Ohio The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when young
gentleman came to this office and asked
for copy OF the Morrow County Re
publican. He scrutinized it carefully
when a copy was handed him, and then
said: "'Now 1 know!" "What is it
you are looking for" we inquired.
"My wife sent me after a bottle of
Chamberlain s Cough Remedy, and |
forgot the name. went to several
stores and the clerks named over every
thing in the line on the shelf except
Chamberlain s. III try again, and
IN never go home without Chamber
lain IS Cough Remedy" The Republi-
can would suggest to the proprietors
of stores, that they post their clerks,
and never let them substitute. Custom
ers lose faith in stores where substi-
tutinr is permitted, to say nothing of
the disappointment of customers.

NEW RULES ON MEAT

So many rules restricting meat con
sumption have been promulgated, that
the situation has become confusing
One scarcely knows which days ar,
meatless, which porkless, and the like
because of the numerous rulings that
have been made by the food admins
tration.
Here is a new ruling, which makes
the meatless program less difficult to
follow:
The food administration asks the
public for the time being to deny it
self in meats only beef and pork on one
day a week-Tuesday.
The suspension of previous rulings
on meat consumption is for an indef-
mite period and comes as a result of
increased meat production and the nee
essity for a still greater saving of
wheat. Farmers of the country arc re-
spending to the call for greater work
production, and the nation is possessec
with sufficient meat for home consump-
ton, and plentiful supply for the
allies. The crying need of the allies
now is for more wheat.
Tn the Pacific northwest, the new
ruling denied the people only pork on
Tuesday until March 10, when beef
also come under the ban on Tuesdays.

General Pershing has referred the
cases of four American sentries, caught
sleeping while on duty in France and
sentenced to death, to the war depart
ment for review. While decipline is a
requisite in the American army, as well
as in any other well-organized army, it
is gratifying to know that these first
offenders were not summarily executed,
as would have been the case among the
Germans, but their cases are to be
given all possible consideration, before
sentence is carried out.

IT was a wild affair at Toronto Ont
the other night when William Jennings
Bryan tried to address prohibition
meeting. Whether the conlmoner had
hoped to have spoken on prohibition or
peace, was not made clear in press
dispatches, but it is presumed that he
was to have spoken for the drys. Any
way, the galleries, which were packed
with soldiers, hooted the former seere
tary of state, and called out; "What
about the Lusitania7' and sang: "We
Won't Be Home hill Morning" 1t
appears that it was combination of
causes which led to the soldiers atti-
tude toward Mr.. Bryan, and that they
were opposed to his speaking, both be
cause he is pacifst and prohibitionist.

FARM BUREAU MEETING

Bruce who attended the farm bureau
Il .;no in Grangeville Monday night
who spoke on the SUBJECT Of a
bureau. are to be congratulated,
only on their enterprise, but for
dir expressed willingness to suppress
s;vidual interest and private gain for
benefit of the country in time of
xar.
Nm who addressed the meeting said
~ thev knew their neighbors are
q edinq wheat to hogs and other live
.k when every grain of wheat should
sold to be ground into flour for the
american people, America 8 armies and
b. allies in the war. Speakers told
j their neighbors' intentions to plant
u "a and barley instead of wheat, be-
-aase they could realize more dollars
Or acre for oats and barley than for
xbeat. since the government had fixed
H. price of wheat, and had not fixed
.tbe prices of other grains.
n THE farmers who attended the meet
he-and most of those in attendance
here farmers-were unanimous in de-
llaring that it is decidedly' wrong at
III time to diminish wheat acreage,
though other crops may prove more
profitable, so far as the selling price is
concerned. 1t seems that the few farm
frs who are disregarding the govern
nent's appeal for more wheat, do not
Realize the gravity of the war situa-
hon, nor have they ever given thought
10 what would be their condition if
Germany won the war
1t would be well if more meetings
such as that held Monday night, could
be held in Idaho county, for such
gatherings serve to inject the proper
spirit of cooperation into the minds
of everyone. If a farm bureau is es-
tabhshed here, and it is virtually GER
tain that one win be formed in Idaho
county, part of its work will be to CO.
ordinate the agricultural interests, with
the chief aim being to stimulate
wheat production.

stirred up a matter which has needed
airing for some time, and which has
mot, oven up to the present time, it
would seem, been fully exposed.
The I. w. w have been a menace to

1the northwest states, where the organi-
cation has at times become strong in

a Program calling for exorbitant wages,
