TO REDUCE FLOUR
CONSUkP

The Federal Food Administration
aas found it necessary to reduce
flour consumption still further by
limiting the amount that can be sold
to any one customer in town or city
to twenty--four pounds and the limit
to rural customers is forty eight
pounds. In no case is the flour TO
b. sold without the sale at the same
time of an equal amount by yweight
cf the substitutes. The provision
whereby purchaser could formerly
offer substitutes already in his pcs
sassion is Withdrawn. Emphatcally,
no flour can be sold without the ac--
tual sale at the same time of the
REQUIRED amount of substitutes.
.Householders are requested to use
not to exceed a total OF one and
cne-half pounds Of wheat produc's
l,er week per person. CThis includes
all wheat products combined-flour'
crackers, pastry, ptfs cakes
and wheat breakfast cereals.) Except
where a person is engaged in manual
labor the limit is one-half pound per
day for such person.
Public eating places are request
ed to continue to observe the Two
wheatless days, Monday and We'd
nesday, and in addition thereto not
t. sArva in thes aggregate more
than two ounces of wheat products
combined to any one guest at any

Manufacturers using wheat pro-
iucts for non food purposes are re-
luested to cease such use entirely.
No limit is placed on other cereal
ilours and meals. Thousands Of faml--
lies report that they have cut out
the use of wheat products entirely
and are doing SO in perfect health
and satisfaction.
There is no possibility of relaxing
restrictions until the arrival of the
harvest season. Until then all pa!
triotic Americans will exercise the
necessary patience, sacrifice and CO.
operation that the serious conditions

NOTES

: LABOR.
The drifting type Of labor seems
I to be fairly plentiful TO date. Some
of it is fairly dependable while some
Is utterly irresponsible. We would
suggest that ranchers build bunk
houses for this type of farm help
rather than housing them in their
family home. Disease and other kin
dred troubles would thus be avo d.
GRAPE PRUNING.
Don't forget to prune the family
grape vines if you would keep pro-
duction up to standard. On tn S 1918
growth will appear buds and fruit.
And the. 1918 growth must grow from
tho 1917 wood.
,GOPHERS.
Write or phone this office for in
diyidual U. S. directions fer con-
troll of gophers. Free demonstrations
Will be given by the County Agent
when groups of farmers desire same.
SEED SAMPLES.
We have samples Of corp, potatoes,
Dicklow wheat and alfalfa seed on
display at the Court House office, IN
floor See them.
STATE HIGHWAY MARKERS.
To clearly mark the State High
way from one end of the county to
thu other end and continually re-
mind the traveller that he is on the
Highway, We would sugges st that
tn fences on either side be paint
ed a uniform white. This might b
sprayed on with a power outfit thuss
beautifully outlining this roadway.
Then prohibit and" enforce the piac-
ing of advertising On these fences
so that these white lines might be
kept neat and attractive. Perhaps
property owners will show their
pride by painting their bit Of fence
FLIES.
If each OF US will kill 100 flies
during the next ten days thsrs VIII
be no kaiser-fly problem in Idaho
this season.
DRY LAND HOUSES.
ThesA are painfully bare and with
out shade and adornment in many
dry land sections. A few gooseberry
bushes planted along the foundations
will yield fruit and adornm Mt at
very little cost. Add few hop
vines around tn perch ard it
will appear as a home greatly en-
riched. And don't forget that you
can buy 100 small locust treIs for
less than $500 from the State Uni
versity Forestry Department at Mos
COW. Plant now for ranch adol nment.
SAN JOSE SCALE.
This is easy of control if you but
use the proper ammunition at least
5 degree Baume strength and do
thoro shooting. If your nsighbor does
not nor will not spray, just notify
your County Agent and he will see
that the authorities know the con-
ditions. Peach leaf curl can also be
partially controlled by L. S. spray
applied now before the buds swell.
F. B. MEETINGS.
At the Talbot ranch, Sunnysidn,
a gopher demonstration at 8 A. NJ,
Saturday, and a similar demonstra-
ton will follow at 1890 A NJ. at the
Valley View school house.

Now that the candidates for of.

ers, so far as the Negro is concerned.
1t does not (for revenue only write
hp every candidate as friend of
our race or "the right man in the
right place." It gives each the ad-
vantage Of the columns under paid
advertisements"
The Twin City Star intends to ex-
pose any candidate whose record has
been against the Negro. Its editor
has q fair knowledge of the history
of several campaigns and has made
study Of the value of the Negro
vote. He is not bound by any indi-
vidual or party, and has stood, at
all times, for the political recogni.
tion of Negro voters. The Twin City
Star is a paper with a worthy pur.
pose, recognized by its readers as
a reliable source Of information, an
intelligent and fearless advocate for
equal rights for all men.

Tho Role OF The Social Worker.

Never, perhaps, has the position of
the social service worker, profession
q: and voluntee., been so strategic as
now. The war has made unprece-
dented demands upon this group, de-
mands beyond all proportion to the
number prepared to meet them. Gov
ernmental agencies, Red Cross, Y.
N. c. A., and host of other organ
izations have drawn their services and
are making insistent demands for
more.
To large extent the social work.
er,-and the definition has a wide
scopes being called upon to answer
most perplexing questions: what ahall
be done with the crippled soldiers; /;
how shall the increase in juvenile
delinquency be met; what methods
shall be used to Americanize the for.
eign born? These questions might be
multiplied Indefinitely.
Much Of the progress and forward
trend Of the next few years will rest
in the hands of the social workers
backed by the Intelligent conviction of
the community.

We have never known two injus.
tices to make anything right. The
Saturday News has prospered by be-
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search Of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because a majority of white people
will always side with white man
when a question arises between him
and one of our color; still certain col
ored newspapers, without making any
investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne.
gro race do identically what they con-
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself.

Negro Must Use "Extreme Caution"
and Face Facts SquareIy.

Atlantic City, Feb. 2S.-"Tne Am
erican Negro needs to exercise ex-
treme caution lest it be swept away
on a wave of false optimism" says
Floyd Delos Francis, secretary-gener-
al of the Negro American Alliance.
In q statement which the Alliance
Is sending out from it's national
headquarters, the Secretary General
continues: 1T is we'll to be optimistic
and look on the bright side of Things,
but there is danger mark that must
be carefully avoided. At the present
time there is much machine-mada
opinion finding its way into the public
print. The Negro is being assured
that all is we'll. There is much talk
about what he has done in the past
and how he can be depended upon in
the future. He is being lauded as an
American citizen Who always rises
equal to the emergency. While be-
ing filled with enthusiasm by hired
enthusiasts it is well for him to
pause, face the facts squarely and use
his common sense.
1--WE are at war with Austria, yet
Austrian alien enemies have more
privileges than Negro soldiers in uni
form. The fact is that democracy is
being made farce and mockery right
here in America. 1t is time for the
Negro to cease fooling himself or
when the war is over he will be lost"

The proclamation follows:
"Inasmuch as the war fund of 1917,
so generously contributed by the
American people to the American Red
Cross for the administration Of relief
at home and abroad, has been prac-
tically exhausted by appropriations
for the welfare of the men in our

those dependent upon them and for
the yet more urgent necessities of
our allies, military and civilian, who
have long borne the brunt Of war;
"And inasmuch as the American
Red Cross has been recognized by
law and international convention as
the public instrumentality for war
relief;
"And inasmuch as the year of our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands up
on the patriotism and Hberality of
our people and made evident the ne
cessity of concentrating the work of
relief in one main organization which
can respond effectively and univer-
sally to the needs of humanity under
stress of var:
"And, inasmuch as the duration of
the war and the closer and closer
cooperation of the American Red
Cross with our own army and navy.
with the governments of our allies
and with foreign relief organizations,
have resulted in the discovery of new
opportunities of helpfulness under
conditions which translate opportuni-
ty into duty;
"And inasmuch as the American
Red Cross war council and it's COM
missioners in Europe have faithfully
and economically administered the
peoples trust; ....
"Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as President of the United
States and President Of the American
Red Cross, I, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week beginning
May 20, 1918, as Red Cross Week.
