NEW YORK, March 22.-Uncle Sam
is taking leaf from the book of expe-
rience of Germany and is saving all of
the junk that used to be wasted Speak
ers at the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Waste Material Dealers at the
Hotel Aston said that the reclamation
was worth $l,0oO000,0oo a year.
One firm, handling old metals alone,
it was stated, did business of $45,000,-
900 year. These big figures, to those
who used to hum "Got any, rags, any
bottles, and bones today9'' were sur
prising enough, but the fact that the
government is going into the junk bust
ness on a big scale came along as new
thing in convention tidings.
| Louis Berkinstein, the retiring presi-
dent of the organization, is going to
Washington to work with the bureau of
reclamation.
| THE average man would be sur
Iprised," he said, ''to know that under
the system now there is absolutely
nothing goes TO waste IN the United
states. Even old shoes are put TO many
fuses. They may be ground up for fer
tilizer or burned and their ashes treat
led for chemicals. -
The association elected f. Solomon OF
lao Nassau street president for the en-
lsuing year. He said that he would d.
| all he could to speed up the reclamation
work, even in the country and on tn
: farms. He wanted to cooperate witt

searching for everything that possibl,
might 90 to waste, and suggested tina
, iron might be collected in all sections
with the aid of the railroads.

FATAL ACCIDENT
BEFALLS IDAHO
FALLS RANCHER
Found Lying Beside the
Road With Crushed
Skull From Which He
Later Died.

Crumpled under his motorcycle
and suffering injuries which later
caused his death, Emet Hershey OF
Idaho Falls, aged nineteen, was
found Sunday morning, fatally in.
jured on the Shelley road.
Young Hershey was Immediately
removed to hospital in Idaho Falls
when he was discovered, and he died
there yesterday about 6 o'clock D. m.
He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Bar
nard j. Hershey, who live four miles
south of Idaho Falls on the. Shelley
road
The secret of the cause of the ac-
cident died with the young man.
Altho circumstances point strongly
to the theory that his machine was
hit by an automobile the body of the
young man or his crushed motorcycle
to indicate that his machine had run
into a post or even a rut in the road,
and the fact that his motorcycle was
badly torn up gives strength to the
theory thath was run into.
Hershey never regained conscious
ness after he was found. He had
left for early mass at the Catholic
church and as his family came along
the road an hour later they dis
covered him lying injured in the
roadway.
Funeral services were held at 10.
o'clock Thursday morning, from the
Caholic church at Idaho Falls.

SOLDIER VOTE
GREAT FACTOR
FOR NEXT FALL
How Boys in Service
May Perform Import
ant Duty at Home in
Selection of Officers
Who Will Back Them
With Vigor.

Drafted men called into the SER
vice from Idaho need not lose their
vote by reason of having entered the
military service II they took the pre-
caution to register before leaving.
So long as they are within the con-
tinental United States and furnish
necessary qualifications they are en-
titled to take advantage of the alb
sentee voters law passed by the
1917 legislature in the opinion of
T. A. Walters, attorney general, who
was interviewed Tuesday evening on
the subject.
5000 Called Since May
Since May 1, when registration
books were opened, calls have been
made for more than 5000 men, all
of whom can take part in the coming
elections If they have registered.
The registrants period closes Au-
gust 3. Men awaiting current calls
or expecting to be called should reg
lister at once If they desire to vote
by mail.
The law provides that electors ex-
pecting to be absent may make ap-
plication to the county auditor, the
city clerk, or other proper official
authorized to issue official ballots,
on blank to be furnished by the
issuing officer, for an official ballot
The application must be made not
more than fifteen days nor less than
one day preceding the election at
which the elector expects to vote.
For the primaries this year the voter
would be required to fill his aplica-
tion not sooner than August 10, nor
later than September 2.
How work is Done
If the application is for a primary
election ballot, the elector is re-
quired to state his political affilia-
ton.
In the application the voter must
take oath that he is duly qualified
and registered elector of his voting
precinct, and that he expects to be
absent from the precinct on election
day.
The ballot which the voter receives
upon application must be filled out
and returned by registered mail to
the officer who issued it, at least one
day before the day Of the election.
The vote of any absentee voter
may be challenged under the same
processes as any other vote.
Because of difficulties in tabulat-
ing the vote, the federal government
has not made provisions for voting
by soldiers in service outside of the
United States.

HUNS STARVING,
HOOVER SAYS IN
LONDON SPEECH
Loss of Life by Priva-
ton Before Next Har-
vest Will Be Larger
Than in Battle.

LONDON, England.-In a state.
ment July % on food problems, Her
bert G. Hoover, the American food
administrator, spoke of the great
problem of agricultural substitution,
which he said was dominated by two
critical factors, the first of which
was time and the second expenditures
in fodder and land productivity.
ITO increase our beef production
continued Mr.. Hoover, would re-
quire from three to five years. On
the other hand, we could bring about
an enormous increase in our meat
and fat production thru swine within
nine to twelve months"
Mr.. Hoover said the American ag-
ricultural population had been given
assurances which had led to a wond-
erful increase in swine production.
II have in mind the increase of
meats for the allies, the food admin
istrator went on. 1--WE can furnish
this whole volume in pork alone. We
can summarize our present position
by stating that within the next twelve
months we can, with less pressure
Of saving upon our people, export
100000 tons, If necessary, and to
this Canada will add 5000, 900 tons. :"
After announcing that all anxiety
had passed, Mr.. Hoover continued: F:

of our submarine defense. We have
now built up our food reserves in the
nearest market as a further defense.

UNCLE SAM WILL

diets That They Will

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Govern.
ment operation of railroads means
government ownership. The rail-
roads will never be returned to cor
porate ownership, unless the Ameri-
can people so decree.
This, in substance, was the sum-
ming up of a statement made by Will
liam G. McAdoo, secretary of the
treasury and director general of the
railroads on July 7.
Uncle Sam Is running the roads
now" said McAdoo, with the idea of
obtaining the greatest possible eff
cheney at the least possible cost.
Whatever reductions in operating
revenue we will make will be re-
f1ected in rate reductions The gov
ernment has taken over the roads
for the war period, that we may ex-
pedite all shipments that. have a
bearing on the war conditions. We;
are getting results. If the American
people want the roads to be returned
to the corporation interests they rep-
resent they We only to say so byl
popular vote. Otherwise it is likely
that some permanent readjustmentl
will be made"
"In scrambling the roads as has
been done with the Western Pacific
and the Southern Pacific" the secre-s
tary was asked, don't you think the
government is going to have a hard
time putting them back where they
were before?"
II don't think the unscrambling
will ever be called for" said McAdoo.
1--WE are running the roads now for
the greatest possible benefit to Uncle
Sam. They should be run that way,
war or no war. They are public car
riers. They aim to serve the public
efficiently and economically. We are
now trying to show the public that
the railroads get the biggest results
if run by the government. If the
public finds this policy to be in error
it can remedy the condition by put
ting the roads back where they were
before-in the hands of private own
ers."
