July, because by that time the great
wheat crop will commence moving
live stock from the ranges will be
moving to the eastern markets From
that time on there will be a continual
ton of crop movement which together
with the great use of cars that must
be made to win this war. 1t can safe
ly be said there is grave danger after
this great movement of cars is on
there will again be a shortage of cars
fuel for the people unless we take
advantage of the present situation and
store coal.
AS an inducement to the people of
Idaho to store coal l have asked the
coal dealers in that portion of our
state where the gross margin for han
ding coal is more than So, to give
the people the benefit of the cost of
unloading coal from the cars to the
bin, which is at the present time
about 25 cents a ton, so by ordering
your coal of the dealer at the present
time, and if he finds it is possible to
serve you direct from the car, you
will be saving 25 cents of the deal
er's profit in handling coal
Another matter in which there is a
great saving at the present time is in
the price of coal at the mines. The
government has fixed the price of all
prepared coal from the Utah and
Wyoming coal fields at 1915 per ton
Up to the present time the operators
have not taken advantage of this in
crease but have continued to sell their
coal at the old price of $3.50 per ton
Early in January I urged the opera
tors of the Utah and Wyoming coal
fields to make low price during the
spring and summer months when
there was an ample supply of cars to
induce the people to store coal so that
they would not again be confronted
with a serious coal famine such as has
confronted us in the past.
/ am unable to secure a promise
from the operators that this price of
$3.50 shall be continued beyond the
first of May, yet hope to be able to
induce them to extend this time |
Users of coal in Idaho can materially |
help in extending this price if they |
will file their orders with their coal
dealers at the earliest possible mo-
ment If l am able to show the peo-
pie are anxious to store coal in Idaho,
believe I shall be successful in in
ducing the operators to continue The
present price of $3.50 per ton.
To the people of Idaho, 1 want to
say that if you are able to store coal
and do so under the present prices,
n those parts of the state where the
gross margin is above So for the han
ling of coal, you will make a saving
If 70 cents a ton. In those parts Of .
he state where the gross margin is
,nly $500 you will be making a sa
ing of As cents ton.
Again l want to call the peoples at 2
ention to the fact that the present !,
ross margin for handling coal in q
daho is a very modest one. I am +
ure the coal dealers expenses have q
cen increased as well as the expense
f handling every other commodity. y
he price for handling coal has not is

Government Expenditures Jump t.
New High Record.

Government war expenses, includ-
ing loans to the allies, will run above
81, 500, 600, 900 this month and set a
new high record for any belligerent
nation.
Expenditures reported Wednesday
by the treasury show that the govern
ment's outlay in the last month have
taken a jump of more than $500, 000,-
900 above the normal rate in the past,
and they promise to go steadily higher
in the next six months.
Tentative estimates now are that
SILL 900 ,000, 900 will be spent between
next July l, the opening OF the new
fiscal year and December 81. six
months later, and the greater part of
this must be raised by the fourth Lib
erty Loan in October or November,
which President Wilson in his revenue
address before congress explained
would be the biggest popular credit
ever offered.
So far as officials are able to esti-
mate at this time, more than $685.
900, 900, 900 will be spent by the gov
eminent in the next fiscal year. near
ly twice as much as in the year end

TRACTOR Is SOLVING
FARM LABOR PROBLEM

Washington. May 28.-The Ameri-
a farmer is carrying on, though his
sens and his horses have gone to the
war by regiments and by droves.
He has got to produce bigger crops
over wider areas, this season han ever
before, if the world is not to starye.
Without his horses and his sons, and
with farm hands as scarce as ukeleles
at a symphony concert, the American
farmer is out to win, and he's winning.
One hundred thousand tractors are
chug-chugging away in the fields, ear
ly and late, doing the work Of al least
1000 farm hands and 500, 900
horses.
The farmer has pinned his faith to
the tractor, and If he can win over
the submarine with il this year. Meth
er the /. W. W. nor the Malthusian
law ever again al worry the food
producer. The tractor is solving the
American food production problem,
and many other things that used TO
give the good American gray hairs.
Last summer not nor than 10000
tractors we're in use on American
farms, and the gasoline pillow horse
was looked Upon as an experiment
Now twelve factories are running night
and day to supply the demand for
tractors, and the railroad administra-
ton is rushing thousands of tractors
TO the fields. More than 200, 900 Of
these gasoline laborers will be in use
by the end Of this year, officials esti-
mate.
The department Of agriculture,
through its local agents, mas carried
on a campaign of education in the use
of tractors throughout the country.
Colleges Of agriculture in Ohio and
Minnesota put on special courses for
farmers who wish TO learn how to use
tractors TO the best advantage. Many
neighborhood associations of farmers
have been formed TO buy tractors, so
that the machines never will be idle.
AS soon as one farmer has finished a
certain job. he drives the tractor TO
his neighbor, who drives straight
through with his job so that another
neighbor may have the use Of the ma
chine.
