new ORDER WILL
SEND EGGS DOWN

ATLANTA, Ga, February ID
Warm weather did not cause the sud-
den not cause the sudden drop in the
price of eggs, although it had some
thing to do with it.
The drop was caused by the order
of the Federal Food Administration,
issued by DR.. A. M. Soule through D.
F. McClathchey, his executive secre-
tary in Atlanta, requiring all eggs
now held in cold storage in this city
and state to be placed on the market
for sale between now and March 1, SO
that no old stock will be carried over
iI'to next season.
This was why the price of eggs went
down.
With the order clearing out cold
storage eggs came the announcement
yesterday of the order prohibiting the
killing of any young hens or pullets
from the present date to May 1, and
piUHLpitAHS CnG sale Ut SulpmOHt "
any young hens or pullets from Feb
ruary Is to May 1, the latter dates be-
ing fixed to allow dealers having
dressed hens or pullets now on hand
an opportunity to dispose Of the
same.
The hen and pullet order is design
ed to increase the supply of eggs
150,000,000 of which are always lost
between February 1 and May / by
the killing of young hens and pullets.

Wound Threatens Medley.

FITZGERALD, Feb. 14.-Arthur L.
Mobley, proprietor of the Cash Drug
Store of this city, is lying at the point
of death from the reopening of an old
wound received by him about ten
years ago in a duel with Mr.. Wash
at Osterfeld, who was shot to death
by Mobley on that occasion, Mobley
receiving a serious wound in his leg.
The wound has given Mobley consid-
cradle trouble of late, and Saturday
a blood vessel burst and it was some
time before the flow Of blood could
be stopped.

Two little
pie-crust secrets

Here are two practical pie-crust
hints. They were given to us by
cook whose wholesome Cottolene
pie-crust was tender and haky treat.
Hint No. I. Always chop your
shortening into the fourwithknives.
Don't mix it in with your hands.
Hint No. 2. Always keep your
shortening and your dough as cold
as possible.
Just forgetting the money-saving
in using Cottolene, why don't you
compare your economical Cottolene
pie-crust with your very best pie
crust made with "half of butter?"
If you follow your own recipe,
De sure to use one-fhird less of Cotto-
lene than you ordinarily use of other
shortening. Cottolene goes farther
because it is richer.
A great many particular women
who used to use part butter are now
using wholesome Cottolene alone
to make tender, haky pie crust.
But perhaps you would like to try
the recipe below. You'll need:
~ cups flour u teaspoon baking powder
"a teaspoon salt Ice water n cup Cottolene
For method start at picture No. |.

PRESIDENT WILSON WILL o STAND FOR AC-
TIONS OF FALSE OFFICIALS IN IDAHO.

Every federal official holding a position of any conse-
quence in Boise, is aligned with the Nonpartisan league.
There is a reason for this. Under the rule at Washington,
their appointment and retention is solely up to the only
present Democratic member of congress from Idaho
Senator Nugent.
Horace Mann, self-confessed Socialist, |. w. w. and
Bolsheviki, arrested and held for trial for sedition, was
permitted to go at large by United States Marshal, Roy
Jones, although the United States Commissioner advised
him that his bond had not been approved and that Mann
was to be taken into custody. United States Attorney
McClear has told people in Boise there was a frame-up
against Mann and it is all ID foolishness, thereby
showing his (McClears) sympathy. Mann's confession
itself, and the affdavits Of many reputable citizens Of
Idaho show that Mann was arrested solely because of his
reasonable utterances and actions.
Why was he allowed to roam at large? Why is the
United States District Attorney Of Idaho so interested in
this traitor?
John Smead, Deputy United States District Attorney
for Idaho, was insulting in his manner toward govern
ment witnesses in the Mann case, including M. Cramblett.
whose son., Frank, gave his life for his country in France.
Smead talked about politics. Great God! What manner
OF man is it who will mix politics in such a case as that.
There will be a day of reckoning when l take my seat in
the United State Senate, if not before. l will demand an
investigation of these federal officials in Idaho, although
the indications are that President Wilson will institute an
before | can be seated and punish these false
officials Notwithstanding any senatorial influence that
may be exerted in their behalf.

NONPARTISAN LEAGUE LEADERS
ROOSENELT BUT STICK TO DISLOYALSTS.

| ask the people of Idaho to remember the charges Of
~dlsloyalty made by the United States government, and by
Theodore Roosevelt and others, against Townley and Le-
Seuer and other NOnpartisan leaders. l ask them to re-
member the revelations | have made from official docu-
ments and from signed letters showing Arthur LeSeuer.
the Executive Secretary of the Nonpartisan league, who
directs the campaign in Idaho through McKaig and
Scholtz, is an |. W. w, a Socialist and a traitor to his
country.
The only answer to this by the Nonpartisan league lead
ers IN Idaho, is that LeSeuer is a great lawyer, but they
say nothing about his Americanism or his patriotism. for
they cannot. There is no such thing in his makeup and
yet he wants to control Idaho for Townley.
None OF these men-Townley, LeSeuer. or even Bill
Haywood, have been r~epudiated by the Nonpartisan
league leaders that TOwnley and LeSeuer have sent into
of government, but they were quick to repudiate Theodore
Roosevelt and to even go so far as to say this great Ameri-
can citizen is dislOyal. They stand for traitors and graft
ers OF all kinds, but they damn true American citizens who
have the courage and the manhood to expose them.

country through the critical times that will come after
the war.
We Know that we are going to win a great victory on
the battlefields of Europe, and that we are going to bring
back peace to the world, but God only knows what the flu
ture will bring to this country unless prejudice can be
laid aside and we all work together, trying to hold up the
country from panic and disaster that will surely follow to
this nation if Towneyism is to prevail. | know of no
class that will suffer more than the farmers. YOU ARE

Mr.. Farmer, this article is written for you. viii you be
kind enough read these lines? In all that | have said
against the leaders of the Nonpartisan league in Idaho,
there never has been a time when | have had a though
that the farmers of Idaho were disloyal because | know
that is not true. / am making your fight, as NO man ever
fought in Idaho before, in exposing the greatest criminal
organization America has ever known.
It il not strange that you did not understand Towney
and Townleyism, and the Socialism that they stand for be-
cause no newspaper with one or two exceptions in this
state has ever attempted to tell you the truth about the
leaders of the Nonpartisan League. 1t is not strange that
you should join an organization that you believed was for
the betterment Of the farmers, because it is true that
there are some things that are wrong in Idaho that must
be and will be made right. In most cases professionally
trained men have been sent to your communities-men
who are professional salesmen-and that they have de-
ceived a large number of the best farmers of the state all
will agree. Even Roosevelt tells us that for a time he
thought the movement a good one.

BE ON YOUR GUARD AGAINST ELEVENTH
HOUR +

The campaign made by the Nonpartisan league
leaders In Idaho has been one of villifcation and
groundless accusations. They are now preparing to
spring campaign f%alsehoods so late in the day they
cannot be refuted. Watch out for these eleventh
hour Canards.
.Ihey have presented no reason whatever why any
OF their candidates should be elected. They have
no constructive or beneficial program for the tax
payers of Idaho.
They have Samuels, their candidate for governor.
and every other one of their candidates, completely
Under their control.
They have never given the people one line of con-
~structive or beneficial policy. All they propose to do
Is to carry out the orders of their bosses from North
Dakota.
The mask has been torn from these Nonpartisan
league leaders. They are rot fit to ruIe in Idabo
You can best do your duty to your state and nation
ana keep Idaho clean until the boys come home by go
ING to the polls and voting against them.

WHERE 1 STAND.
TO THE PEOPLE OF IDAHO:

If | am elected to represent Idaho in the United
States Senate President Wilson will have no better
supporter in his war measures than myself.
The man who would not support President Wilson
in his war measures would not support the boys in
the trenches or the boys who are serving their coun-
try on the high seas. Such a man, to my mind, would
be a traitor.
| will fight for lower freight rates for Idaho. The
present rates are unjustly high. | have been fighting
them for a long time and will continue the contest on
the floor Of the senate.
| stand for a safe and sane government in nation
and state-no Socialism, no |. w. w., no Nonparti-
san League leadership.
stand for the industries of Idaho and for the high
est possible development of our state.
As United States Senator, | will be in a position to
more potentially make my fight for the extension of
irrigation projects and the opening up of new tracts
of land under irrigation, which will result in attract
ing more people and more capital to our state and
providing homes for returning soldiers.

WHO AM FIGHTING

Whenever | make a case against the Nonpartisan
League leaders they crawl behind the League mem
Ders. have never said or written one word against
the membership of the league. My fight is on Town
ley, LeSeuer, MeKaig, Scholtz and all the other league
leaders who are trying to deceive the farmers.
TRYING TO DECEIVE THE PRESIDENT
Fred I. Dubois has been trying to deceive Presi-
qeht wilson as to the character of the Nonpartisan
League leaders. There is no question that he will
fail, because the National Democratic Administra-
ton is fighting these same leaders in North Dakota
with all the vigor at their command, and exposing
them for their d~isloyalty and for having i~nterfered
with the war.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1918-11-01
NONPARTISAN LEAGUE LEADERS BEE TAX
pAYERC

| ask the people of Idaho to bear in mind that Townley
and the others Of the Nonpartisan league big Five" who
rule North Dakota, pay an average of only 73c each in
taxes. These are the same men who want to rule Idaho
and spend your tax money.
There is no longer any reason for any farmer or anv
other citizen of Idaho to be deceived by these outsiders.
They have been shown up in their true colors, both in and
out Of the courts, and they have not answered a single
charge.
Any who may have been deceived by them can afford to
be equally as courageous and manful as Roosevelt has
been. Even he admits they fooled him for a time, but
when he found them out he repudiated them.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1918-11-01
FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE

Everyone will agree that the farmers should organize
that it is essential for them to have organizations, but few
will agree that we need such leaders for the farmers as
Townley, LeSeuer, McKaig and Scholtz, who have forced
themselves to the head of the farmers organization in
this state.
Mr.. Farmer, have looked up the platforms of both po-
litical parties in Idaho and the laws passed by our legisla-
lures for a number Of years. | find there has never been
"A single pledge made to the farmers by either the Republic
can or Democratic party that has not been kept. You
have never asked for anything of either one of the two
parties in Idaho that it has not given you. More than half
of the senators and representatives that have served this
state for a number of years have been farmers or men
who owned land and cultivate the soil. There never will
be a time in Idaho in my judgment when the agricultural
interests in this state cannot pass such legislation as is
necessary for the welfare Of the great agricultural inter
ests of the state.
Every one of our adjoining states, Mr.. Farmer, has re-
pudiated the leaders of the NOnpartisan League. The Ma
tional Grange has repudiated them: the oranges of
Washington and Oregon, and the farmers organizations
of Utah have r%epudiated the leaders of the Nonpartisar
League. In those states the great newspapers have come
to the rescue Of the farmers and a campaign Of education
and exposure has been on for some time. If we had had
such a campaign in Idaho hundreds of thousands of dol
lars would have been saved to the farmers of this state
and the enemies of good government would not have got
a foothold here. The campaign | am waging today is q
campaign of education. | have forgotten all about the
senatorship. | have fought these enemies of our govern
ment Aef0re, and know that unless they are exposed they
will destroy the state and destroy its citizenship.

NO TIME FOR CLASS FEELING.

We have an embargo ON wheat at the present time. 1t
IS not strange. 1t is impossible for the railroads to handle
road men are Straining every effort within them to handle
the agricultural crops and the war essentials that must
be given first consideration. Mr.. Farmer, there never
without prejudice, as it does today. H is NOT THE
TIME TO ARRAY ONE CLASS AGAINST ANOTHER.
II is going to take the best brains in the land to guide this

DANGEROUS TO AMERICANIsM.

Roosevelt brands Townley and LeSeuer and their
agents as being as dangerous to America as Lennine and
Irotzky to Russia. | cannot find language to express nv
contempt for the man who would say that ex-President
Roosevelt is d~isloyal. That one utterance of McKaig and
Scholtz should be enough for every good loyal American
cltlzen, regardless of what party he belongs to-, to brand
these men as dangerous enemies to a free government.
| AM GOING TO KEEP UP MY FIGHT, MIR. FARM
ER, UNTIL H END, N WHEN AM THROUGH.
iii THE PER CENT AMERICAN CLUB
THAT HAS BEEN ORGANIZED IN IDAHO WILL
CONTINUE THIS FIGHT UNTIL TOWNLEY AND LIE
RAND McKAIG N SCHOLTZ NO LONGER
HAVE A VOICE IN IDAHO EXCEPT WITH SOCIAL
ISIS M l. w. WIS. l know a few Socialists in this
state for whom | have a very high regard as men. They
do not believe in Socialism as preached by Townlev. Kate
OHara, LeSeuer and Bill Haywood. They do not believe
IN direct action as do these men. They have a beautiful
dream and believe the world can be made better by their
kind of Socialism.
Call back to your memory the things that | have said
about the leaders of the Nonpartisan League. THEY
HAVE NOT DENIED N WORD. They have tried to
deny that Arthur LeSeuer is their secretary. They boast
that he is their legal adviser. They tell you he is a great
lawyer.
| am fighting for the best interests of Idaho and the
boys IN the trenches and upon the high seas, and their
mothers, their fathers, their wives and their sweethearts
V CONFIDENCE THAT THE LOYAL FARM
Frs OF IDAHO WILL GO TO THE POLLS ON THE
AND HIS AGENTS FROM THE FAIR
STATE OF IDAHO. Bill Haywood is but a child as COM
pared with Townley and LeSeuer. In his coarse. brutal
blunt way, he continued even after the espionage law was
passed, but Townley and LeSeuer cunninglv changed their
tactics. Instead of assautng the president, they are tell
ing the people what a great man he is. Do you believe
them! They have no more respect for President Wilson
today than they had before that law was passed. They
are the same Townley, and the same Arthur LeSeuer.
II you Will but hear me. | know you will cast out a man
who would destroy our state. You need not be ashamed
II you have given TOwnley sixteen dollars. His agents
have fooled many an honest man. The pity is that they
have already destroyed some good men and women bv in
Jectlng into their minds anarchy, treason, and rebellion.
| am not appealing to those who believe Roosevelt is dis
loyal and his speeches all camouflage. | an talking to the
honest farmer of Idaho. | believe that ninety-five per
cent OF the farmers of Idaho are as true and loyal citizens
as can be found anywhere in the world.
