Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1918-09-05

The Editor in company with J. NJ.
Davis, ]. H Norris, A. C. CogswellI
and H. G. Gardner, in making a
little campaign trip up Little VIII
low Greek few days ago, drove on
up to the Paddock Valley reservoir.
1t was our first visit 10 that place
since the beginning Of the eonsruc-
ton work, which is now about COM
pleted. The Gam proper is fully COM
pllete and is certainly magnificent
affair. There were several men at
work completing the spill-way which
will also 1e finished within few
days. The people Of that valley shoul,
be proud of the splendid water sys-
TEN they now have. There IS abso-
lutely no question as to the capacity
of the reservoir for future needs be-
cause of the high rock embalkment
On either side which extends far
above the top of the ohm and would
allow the dam to be raised to any
height desired with but little ex-
pense, and more than double the ca
paoity if it ever should be NEEDED
The construction work of the dam
is mechanically and neatly done
and will stand until the 6hy OF judg-
ment. There IS some little work yet
TO be done ON the bitches which Will
be complete this fall so that next
spring the land owners under this
system will enjoy as fine a water
as there is IN the state.

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
BLANCHARD ARRESTED

Monday afternoon OF this wecl; the
city of Ierington experienced q shock
Justice OF the peace Blanchard was
arrested and charged with eating
wheat bread on wilcatless Gay by
the proprietor OF the Quitk Lunch
Counter. The case was brought i'll
Judge Bonncr's court at Mascr but
was dismissed hy hin, for lack OF
jurisdictions 1t would properly be
long to the federal courts.
According to the statements made
concerning the affair it was all occas-
icne,i by a 1nist2ke on the part of t.'le
proprietor. He did not serve crack
ers with tie scup but offered some
toasted squares Of bread as a sub
stitute. Judge Blanchard had some
Liberty bread that Geo. Nugent. the
bake. had given him, he proceeded
to eat it with his soup. The Judge is
a little peeved over the affair as he
had obtained the war loaf especially
because of the corn meal it contained.
The other. substitute was rice -four
and Of course it was not very dark. in
fact it looked like white bread.
The accounts given in some of the
nanc-s are not strictly correct as the
i,idge had gotten the bread Gu Thurs
day Of the previous week and had al
ready eaten most of it. and did not
GO out and purchase it. The whole
matter was only misunderstanding
Mr. Lane did not make sure that
I,fd9e Blanchard was eating forbidden
bread and the i,,dge has teen fond
Of joke for the last eighty years and
thee ien't much hope OF curing him

General Sullivan tnat Nevada will be

adjutant general has asked the war
department for exact figures on how
many enlistments this state will be

net credit on enlistlnents passing

applied on the second draft.

quire not less than twenty per cent Of

ial official appearance.
All bakers using three barrels OF
-four or more each month are under
license. and must conform to the vic
tory bread-making rules.
The new regulations calling for the
use of substitutes for wheat products
in bread baking first went into effect
February 3, when five per cent sub
stitutes, were to be used, increasing
steadily until February "a. when the
full twenty per cent was called for
Rolls are included in the ruling.
Pastries must contain not less than
one-third of wheat flour substitutes.
This includes doughnuts, cookies. var
ious cakes and sweet dough.
Food Administration officials say
there is nothing in the regulations to
prevent bakers from using more than
twenty per cent OF substitutes, if de-
sired. In some cases it is expected
that bread containing from twenty to
thirty per cent of hours other than
wheat will be developed and issued
under patented trade names, but the
name Victory" may be used by aall
bakers and pastry makers alike.
The Victory products may be
placed on the market on "wheatless7

sioner Merritt urges all bakers and
restaurants to turn out bread and
pastries for general consumption
which contain the largest 'poSsible
percentage of substitute hours on
