allotments and allowances is simplified
The bureau of war risk insurance will
now handle allotments of only two
amounts-$15 and $20 Formerly the
allotment was on sliding scale and had
to be changed every time mans pay
was increased by promotion or other
wise This required from 10000 to
100000 changes per month.
By transferring to the war and navy
departments all allotments not carrying
allowances, the bureau of war risk in
upon payments to persons entitled to the
government allowance. and it is believed
that this simplification of the work will
tend to speed up the delivery of checks
to these persons.
Although the institution of these
changes may cause temporary delay and
concern to soldiers families unless the
reasons for the changes are carefully ex-
planned, it is expected that the ultimate
result will greatly rebound to their bene-
fit, and the office of the quartermaster
general states that no delay is antici-
pated.
In some instances, however, relatives
of soldier or sailor may find that their
man in the service has not taken the
necessary steps outlined above to see
that his people at home continue to re-
ceive the same payments as formerly,
through the war or navy departments, |
instead of through the bureau of war
risk insurance. In such cases, the rela-
tive should write him urging upon him
the necessity of taking the necessary ac-
ton. 1t is matter which lies purely in
his discretion He is under no compu1-
sion from the government

CROP CONDITIONS

w H E AT III RVEST is ON
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
RAINS HELP ALL CROPS

BOISE.-The week was fair for the
rather high in all sections. Crops made
rapid advancement and farm activities
went forward in good shape. 1t was a
busy week in farm communities, farmers
being engaged in putting up hay, har-
vesting wheat and oats, and threshing.
In the early districts, the second crop
of alfalfa is now in the stack, and reports
indicate that there was a good crop and
that the hay was put up in fine shape.
But in most sections the second cutting
is now in full swing with weather con-
ditions about all that could be desired.
Wheat harvest is going on apace. In
all the early districts harvesting is about
finished and threshing is the order of the
day. The harvest is advancing gradually
into the later districts, where wheat is
ripening in good shape. Dat harvest is
well under way in the western counties,
but in the east portion of the state oats
are just heading The condition of the
crop is fair to good
A general improvement in range con-
ditions is noted. With few exceptions,
feed is ample in all sections, while in the
eastern and central counties range
grasses are exceptionally luxuriant and
all stock are making fine gains. Good
rains in Adams county have greatly inn
proved conditions there and the feed
shortage so seriously threatened has not
materialized. Fat steers, cows, and
lambs are now being shipped from there
in good numbers. Twenty carloads Of
lambs were shipped to eastern markets
from Cassia County during the week.
Apples, peaches, and plums are rip
ening and being marketed, the apples,
Of course, being early varieties. Fruit
is by no means plentiful and the price

War Risk Bureau to Discontinue
Handling Allotments Which Do
Not Garry Allowances

In many cases men have made allOt-
ments to parents, brothers, or sisters
through the war risk insurance bureau,
but have not requested the government
allowance, either because these relatives
were not dependent upon them and,
therefore, not legally entitled to the
allowance, or because although depend
ent they did not understand that he
could obtain the allowance for them by
requesting it. In either case, the rela-
.tives will no longer receive the allotment
through the bureau of war risk insur-
ance. If the man wishes them to con-
tinue to get the allotment, he must make
a new application through the office
having his accounts, which will then be
paid by the war or navy departments
If he decides that he does not care to do
this, these relatives will cease to receive
any payments whatever
If such relative should deem himself
entitled to the government allowance by
reason of dependency, he can only secure
it in the future by asking the man to
discontinue his allotment through the
war or navy departments for instance,
and to make application to the bureau
of war risk insurance stating that he
wishes to make an allotment which will
carry an allowance with it,
No Change in Allotments to Persons
Not in Classes A and B
Relatives or friends of enlisted men
not included in Class A (wife, child, or
former wife divorced, who has not re-
married and to whom alimony has been
1ecreed) or in Clacc B (parent, brother, |
sister, or grandchild) to whom allot- |
-eceive them through the war depart
nent or navy department as previously |,
Allotments to such persons were never
handled by the bureau of war risk in
urance and no change is contemplated |
n this regard.
Var and Navy Department Offices
Which Handle Allotments.
If a man desires to continue allot-
nents which under the new plan can no
onger be made through the bureau of
var risk insurance, he must make the
llotment through the appropriate officer
Who has charge of his accounts, and it
viii be paid through the following Of
ices:
In the army, through the "office of the +;

of war risk insurance because of the re-
duction in the allotment required. The
amount of the government allowance
will be the same, but the allotment re-
CURED from his pay will be less. If he
desires to have the total continue as be-
fore, he must make an additinoal allot-
ment through the war or navy depart
ments Thus, if soldier or sailor was
allotting $18 to his mother, after August
1st she will get So less through the bu-
reau of war risk insurance, and if he
wishes her to continue to ge the same
amount as before he must make sepa-
rate allotment of So through the war or

mind and decides that SIS is enough, the
government cannot compel him to allot

Ducks the Answer
To Meat Problem
Market Expert Urges Their
Use to Save Beef and In
crease Milk Supply

Meat addcts will welcome expert ad
vice given yesterday by ?. Q. Foy. loca
market price authority. in the'matter OF
food conservation. 1t was not en-
bellished with fervid oratory. To the
contrary. it is simply this:
"Raise ducks"
Mr.. Foy points out that by resortine
to ducks as foodstuff tons of beef will
be saved and the milk supply OF tho
nation increased.
"A duck" says Mr.. Foy. ''matures in
twelve weeks from the time of Matching
and weighs six pounds. a million were
tY farmers. Suppose the entire United
States turned to duck raising. Would
there be meat shortage? There
would not
Then he pointed out that while it re-
qulres three years to grow steer and
at least a year for a hog to mature
little relief could be obtained By turn
ing to those producing sources. And it
takes ten months for a chicken to grow
to "roasting age"
"Ihe meat supply must be increased
quickly Mr.. Foy insisted. "Ten
months is too long. Ii farmers begin

will have enough mea7 in three Or four
months to feed the nation. Our dairy
cows can be spared and tie pork uti-
llzed for our armies.
Furthermore, ducks are cheapc,
than chickens. And they're Just as
good TO eat. The government should
appeal to the people to take this step
For years it has been virtually the only
meat the people OF Poland have eaten
and there is not a harder race on the
face OF the EARTH
