FOOD CONSERVATION
IS STILL NECESSARY
Says PROF. GRAHAM
COUNTY ADMINISTRATORS RE.
GENES MESSAGE AT THE NASH
VILE CONFERENCE.
new PROPAGANDA IS COMING
First Week In December Will Be
Used for Bringing the New Food
Message to Earnest Attention of the
People-Schools to Aid.

County Food Administrator Graham
has returned from the conference OF
food administration at Nashville on
Thursday. This conference, said Prof.
Graham, was attended by seventy OF
the county food administrators and
practically all of the members of DR..
Morgan's staff.
while there have been and will
contiue to be changes made in the
food program" continued Prof. Ora.
ham, '"the fact was made plain that
this nation must furnish in the aggre-
gate more food than 1t had expected
to furnish had the war continued. Dur
ing the past year America shipped
something like 100000 tons Of food
stuffs, as compared with a pre-war
average of about half that amount. We
had expected to ship seventeen and a
half million tons this year, but it
is now estimated that we will be call
ed upon, as the result of the liberation
of millions Of people, to increase those
shipments to twenty to twenty-five
million tons.
Conservation in the future will be
general and not specific. All waste
must be eliminated. We are going to
bring this matter very forcefully to
the attention of the people Of the ma
ton during the week beginning the
first day of December. On that day a
message from Mr.. Hoover will be read
in every church and Sunday school in
the land. On Monday and Tuesday the
county food administrators and their
assistants are expected to hold public
meetings to present the situation to
the people. Mr. Hoover's message
will be read in all fraternal organiza-
tiOns, clubs, etc.
ION Friday, Dec. 6, we will observe
food conservation day in all the
schools of the county and state. Pro.
grams will be arranged requiring
about an hour, presenting in an inter-
esting and intelligent way the food
problem to the children of the schools.
The food administration has accom-
plished great results through the
,itsvpRopa gsnda sswerky and
we expect equally as fine results in
this effort"

for returning soldiers and those who
have been engaged in war work. which
is an obligation upon the nation.

all employers of labor use this SER
vice of the government in employing

days OF reconstruction. In the move
ment to raise $4,000 in Tennessee

that have been by the people of this
county.

movement for Maury county, announc-
ed this morning that Miss Della
Dortcll, of Nashville, one of the most
impressive women speakers in the

committee of the National Council OF

OF :.
SOLDIERS PLANNED
COMMUNITY LABOR BOARDS TO
ASSIST IN FuLFllMENT
OF TASK

The Important service and duty of
providing employment for returning
soldiers will devolve to large meas
ure upon the community labor boards
operating in conjunction with the u.
S. employment service. The follow
ing message from the Secretary OF
Labor to Joseph T. Ware, federal d.
rector of the service in Tennessee, has
been forwarded by him to James NJ.
Dedman, local agent:
Sincerely trust that no member Of
community labor boards will fail to
appreciate that the cessation of hostil-
tiles brings new opportunitys for SER
vice and impose new and important
duties. The country now faces the
obligation to return to suitable en-
ployment those it indicted to enter
its service in the field and factory.
The we'll being Of the people for many
years to come depends largely upon
the manner in which that obligation
will be fulfilled, as well as the vindi-
cation Of those principles OF justice
which animated US in the pursuits of
war. Community labor boards are
best suited and best equipped to help
in the process of transition from war
to peace. Confdentially appeal to
each member to continue serving until
the last man from the army and war
service has been placed in suitable
employment. Much depends upon the
members Of the community labor
boards in the fulfIlment Of our task"

ITALY EARNED HER
SHARE OF VICTOR
BY HENRY WOOD.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
ROME, Nov. 23.-With the end OF
the war, which renders no longer nee
essary secrecy regarding the mobili'
zatjon of the various allied countries,
the fact has just been made public
that Italy's total mobilization reached
lust 141s per cent of her entire popula.
ton.
This figure it is believed will sur.
pass that of any Of the other allied
nations.
OF a total of 36,O00,000 inhabitants,
Italy called under arms over 5,oO0,O 900
men.
To Go this it was necessary to call
out not only all of her Oldest classes
that could possibly be of any service,
hut to send also her younger classes to
the front in greater proportion than
eny o. the other allies. Italy's class
of 1899, comprisig the 19-year old
BOYS of the nation, were at the front
n yea- before hostilities ceased, while
all of the more important elements OF
the 1900 class of 1S-year old boy sol
diers have been under arms for the
last six months.
In addition to the 100000 men un.
der arms, Italy has engaged in her es-
Adjustments for the manufacture OF
war material 100000 men and 100000
women and boys. In addition France
was supplied with over 10000 Italian
workmen for keeping up the civilian
work of that country, besides thous-
ands CT auxiliary troops who were en-
Gagged in the construction of military
defenses along the entire French
front. making a total Of war industrial
mobilization of 100000. Added to
this was the agricultural mobilization,
consisting largely Of old men. women
and boys who replaced the 100000
italian agricultural workers who were
called under arms. Italy's military, in
dustrial and civil mobilization thus
,eached a total Of over 100000.

THREE HURT
AUTO ACCIDENT

Harry Dunn, his sister, Mae Dunn.
and Edmire Boileau, were severely in
jured Thursday morning when the car
in which they were riding left the road
and turned completely over.
The accident happened on the Mo
ravia road just this side of the G. n.
railway subway. Harry Dunn, the
driver, was travelling at a fair speed
when he suddenly lost control of the
auto and the car travelled along the
bank of the road for a hundred feet
and finally tipped over, the radiator
landing on a stump. 1t is considered
a miracle that the driver and the two
girls were not more seriously injured.
AS it was Mr.. Dunn was able to crawl
out from under the car and tip it suf-
ficiently so that the girls, who were in
the back seat could get out. All
three were terribly bruised and shak-
en- up. Edmire Boileau suffered a
broken collar bone and Mae Dunn a
broken shoulder. Harry Dunn es-
capped without any broken bones but
was cut and bruised from head to foot.
The girls were brought back to Bon
ners Ferry soon after the accident and
Drs Fry and Keller set the fractures
and dressed the cuts and bruises and
then fixed Mr.. Dunn upas comfortably
as possible.

Squirrel Bounty Held Up

Some weeks ago Master Edward
Montgomery of Porthill, delivered to
A. ]. Kent, of this city, the proof of
having killed 81 ground squirrels and
the affidavit was sworn to in the reg
ular manner and mailed to the state
veterinarian, Mr.. Bodle, at Boise, with
the claim for $1.34 bounty as provided
by statute. Mr.. Bodle returned the
claim stating that no claims would be
allowed for less than 100 squirrel
tails at a time.
The Idaho Session Laws of 1917,
Chapter 1902, however read that the
live stock sanitary board of the State
of Idaho is hereby authorized and di-
rected to allow and pay bounty, not
to exceed two cents per head, on each
of the following animals killed within
the State of Idaho; prairie or pocket
gopher, grey gopher, ground squirrel
prairie dog and prairie squirrel"
There is nothing said in the whole
chapter that would indicate that the
state veterinarian or any other person
may arbitrarily set the number of an
imals which must be killed before a
bounty is paid. In this county the
squirrels are becoming more and more
of a pest and menace to crops and ii
is not right that anyone so disposed
and especially the children should be
discouraged in their efforts to rid the
county of a pest merely on account of
some slight inconvenience that the
state veterinarian might be put to.

MORE KNITTING
is REQUIRED

Mrs. H. A. Gale, chairman of the To-
cal Red Cross auxiliary, has received
word that there will be no vacations
for Red Cross workers this summer,
in fact there is an urgent demand for
extra help at headquarters for the
auxiliary has been notified that it is
required to make $50 pair of wooden
socks this month and that it must
make 300 pair before the first of Dec
ember, otherwise the U. S. army boys
in France are liable to suffer from
frozen feet the coming winter.
Inasmuch as there is no more ma
terial available just now for the usual
Red Cross work it has been decided
that for this month all the Red Cross
women will spend all their time knit
ting. Mrs. Mccoy will be at the Red
Cross headquarters each Wednesday
and Friday afternoon to give instruc-
tions in knitting to all who desire to
learn. Those who are doing gauze
work will continue.
Every woman who can knit is urged
to help every possible moment at the
Red Cross rooms. Those who cannot
knit should get busy at once and start
to learn. In these times we may not
think of our own comfort and must
remember that to some degree the
responsibility of winning the war
rests with those who stay at home.

DRAFT BOYS LIKE CAMP LEWIS
Sam Johnson Thinks LOafers Should
Be Sent To the Camp

Miss Goldie Cave recently received
the following letter from Sam John
son, a Boundary county soldier at
Camp Lewis, with the 37th Co., 10th
Battalion, 166 Depot Brigade:
I'VE all arrived in camp o. X. and
have been here ten days now. Every
one is in the best of health and all
were accepted for service.
This certainly is a great camp and
they treat a person better than anyone
expected considering the number Of
men they have to handle: are rather
strict with orders but have to in or
der to make soldiers out of us. Every
one has sore arms from being vaccin-
ated and one has to be very careful
who he bumps into.
I'VE all appreciated what you peo-
pie in Boomers Ferry did for us few
days ago and / am sure you can be
proud of the ones you have sent to
get the kaiser as a man don't stay here
long before he is a fighter and get
the Germans we must for we all want
to come back to our loved ones but
not under German rule.
Have no idea how long we will be
here but have been told by officers
that we would not be given as much
training as the first draft men. Have
been acting corporal and have a
chance at promotion in a short while.
Everyone has to do his share of work
and | would like to see a few of those
loafers and eight-hour men here as
they would sure change their minds
about a lot of things. All the boys
send their regards"

Great statesmen and military leaders

IDAHOANS MUST PREPARE
FOR PERIOD OF COMING CRISIS

Idahoans should prepare to steel
themselves for the sacrifices before
them, for with their sons on the bat
tie line fighting for the preservation
of civilization that the tentacles of the
monstrous Hun octopus has for four
years threatened to strangle, there
will be losses. The coming days may
bring sadness into many homes. AL
ready the pang of bereavement has
been felt in the breast of the father,
mother, wife, sister and brother
Those who have no near relative at
the front, can, in these times, do a
service to their country by showing
kindness, sympathy and consideration
to those whose sons have made the
greatest" sacrifice.
The county councils can be of I'M
usual assistance in the trying times
ahead. Many sons from Idaho are
in the service of their country. They
left behind them all the comforts of
home, association of relatives and
friends, and vowed to make sacri-
fees in mind and body that the prin-
ciples their country advocates may be
maintained. No act is more noble
AS the United States steadily as
sumes a great burden of the war-as
