A nation wide drive" for food con-
servatiOn is scheduled for this winter
This great movement should have the
fullest cooperation of the women of
Idaho. To this end, every community

leadership of district chairmen.
Mrs. Il. c. MathiesOn of Cottonwood,
is the chairman for Idaho county, Last
Saturday representatives from differ
ent parts Of the county met with her
in Cottonwood to discuss plans for To-
cal work in conservation.
We are in the midst of a great world
war Millions Of men have been with
drawn from the production Of neces-
saries of life and placed in circumstan-
ces where the consumption Of food and
clothing is great and costly. Millions
of other workers are producing cloth
ing and the other materials Of war and
must themselves be clothed and fed.
The United States and her allies are
short of certain kinds Of food supplies,
while she has an abundance of other
kinds. She must save on some foods
by substituting others.
Teach the people that we must:
Save on meats, wheat flour, sugar
and dairy products
The need of these concentrated foods
for our armies and those Of our allies
is very great and there is world
shortage in these foods We must
use more potatoes, vegetables, fruits,
fresh, dried, canned and preserved,
milk and poultry. Idaho has these in
great abundance.

NEW FARMERS BULLETIN
Describes How Pennsylvania Farm
ers Conserve Manure

Washington, Oct. 17-Farmers
who are confronted with the prob
lem of maintaining soil fertility-im-
portant in carrying out increased food
production-will find it profitable, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture suggests, to study the meth
DDS of handling barnyard manure
practiced in parts of eastern Pennsyl-
vania where excellent results in ado
ing to crop yields have been secur-
ed. These methods are described in
Farmers Bulletin 978, recently pub
lished by the department. For over
a century it has been the custom in
this region to store stable manure in
a walled manure yard, partly or Who'll
ly covered, in which the stabbed ami
mails are allowed to exercise during
the day. Manure thrown into such
such yard and thoroughly. tramped
by stock, according to the deparr-
ment's bulletin, loses much less
through heating and teaching than
does manure piled in the open.

Earlaps of the Japanese

The earlap is almost entirely
wanting with the Japanese, but this
apparent anomaly is none at all. 1t
is we whose ears are badly formed,
or at least different from those
which nature, if not interfered with,
would have given us. Our ear is dis
figured because for centuries our an
cestors loaded it with more or less
heavy ornaments, which in the course
Of time elongated it's inferior part
We inherited from them both the
custom and it's effect-the lap. A
fact goes to show that this useless
and cruel custom was unknown to
the Japanese, the expressions for ear
rings (mimi-gana) and earlap (mimi-

Japanese language until the epoch
when the japanese entered into con-

housewifely hands. One of them
showed me the dress she was wear

This is all 1 have" she said, "and
it is a gift. The enemy stripped me

How to Store Potatoes

Proper storage of potatoes, accord
ing to a specialist of the United
States Department of Agriculture
would prevent much of the annual
loss in this important food crop. In
experienced growers especially are
urged to take safeguards against
spoilage.
Potatoes should be stored in a cool
dark cellar or be buried in a pit in
the garden They must not be allow.
ed to freeze. If they are buried If
pits the potatoes must be covered
sufficiently to keep out all frost. Il
exposed to the light they will turn
green.
A good method of storing potatoes
! is to place them in barrels with a few
holes cut in the sides near the bot
tom for ventilation. Cover the bar.

THE PRESS AN ESSENTIAL
INDUSTRY

In view of the fact that newspapers
and periodicals have lost some en-
ployees, who have sought greater
humanity from military service in
more essential war industries, it is
well to ask just how essential the
press is to winning the war; The
War Industries Board puts newspap-
ers and periodicals in class in the
priority list which furnishes the bas-
is for industrial exemption from the
draft. Industries grouped in class /
are of exceptional Importance in con-
nection with the prosecution of the
war. Those grouped in 2, 3 and 4
will have precedence over all indus
tries not appearing in the priority,
but the Board says distinctly that Gas
between these three classes, however,
there shall be no complete or abso-
lutte preference" This means that
newspapers and periodicals are prac-
tically on the same footing as the in
dustries and plants of classes 2 and 3
in demonstrating the essential quail
ity of their product.
What service has the press al
ready rendered in this war? The ma
tioral publications broke down so eff
fectually all sectional barriers that
when the time came to declare war
upon Germany it was the act of a
united nation. Newspapers and peri
ideals have been the most powerful
single force in populariZing support
of the Liberty Loans, and Secretary
McAdoo has testified to the major
part they have thus played in sup
plying the sinews of war. They have
so educated the public mind on the
isues of war and the duty of every
citizen in a democracy that the draft
has met with no opposition. Had the
newspapers during the Civil War Civ
en- the same support to this prin-
ciple, there would have been no draft
riots then. The task of the press in
preparing the public for the great
loans yet to come is tremendous, and
it's mission of education in the closing
months of the war and in the pre-
paration for peace is as significant
and essential as that which it has al
ready mplished.-Leslie's Week

DOOM OF WAR SEALED
Asquith Says Object of War is to
Destroy Militarism

London, Oct. 16-Ex-Premier AS
quith in a speech today referred to
President Wilson's latest note in re-
ply to the peace proposals of Ger
many, saying:
"The reply which President Wilson
has given to Germany is exactly what
was required. 1t is terse, dignified
and outspoken and goes to the root
of the matter. It leaves no loophole
to escape.
1--WE cannot imperil the ascendancy
we have gained on sea and land OF
give breathing time to an enemy who
could not be trusted to observe either
the rules of honor or humanity"
Mr.. Asquith said the main object
i've of the Allies was to destroy Prus-
sian militarisn1.
'"There is no one in the civilized
world who does not feel that the
doom of war is sealed" he added.
Mr.. Asquith declared that the over
lures of the enemy came from peo-
pie who knew in their heart OF
hearts that they would have to give
up the game. The reply must come
from the German people himselves
He said there was no one better
qualified than President Wilson to
be the spokesman for the common
cause.
