NO MORE MEATLESS
DAYS FOR z MONTHS
PORK REMAINS UNDER BAN, BUT
MUTTON AND BEEF MAY
BE EATEN

Meatless days have been eliminated III
Pacific coast states for a period of
Sixty days, by order of U. S. Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover. The ban has been
removed from beef, mutton, veal and
lamb, but the food administration in
sists that no pork be served on Tues
days, and it is urged that persons re-
frain from eating pork on Saturdays.
he order expires March Is. The
modified order, which affects Ida
no, Oregon, California, Washington, Ne
vada and Arizona, is intended to relieve
these states o. the beef and mutton sit
uation and to help carry the public over
the season of scant fish supply. The
action is said to be due in part to diff
fculties in transportation in the Pacific
states and it also is figured that by al
lowing increased consumption of beef
and mutton, there will be decreased
pork consumption. A marked shortage
of pork exists.

YOUNG INDIANS READY
TO FIGHT FOR U. s.,
BUT OLD BUCKS OBJECT

Young Indians Of the Nez Perez
tribe are willing to fight for
America, but the old bucks fail
to look with favor on the young
braves taking part in the
"pale faces - war, said young
Indian from Kooskia, who this
week appeared before the local
draft board.
Whether the old warriors of
the Nez Perez tribe, which was
noted for its belhgerency and for
its atrOcious crimes against the
whites in the early lays of Idaho
county, have been changed by
civilization from ferocious war
riors to ardent pacifists, or
whether they still hold a grudge
against the white man, and OBJ
iect to helping them out, was not
made clear by the young brave.
Indians of CONSUMPTION age are
subject to draft, and the young
Indians have not, so far as the
local draft board has learned,
voiced any decided objection to
serving in the army of the Unit
ed States. A number of Indians
from various parts of the country
have volunteered for service and
now are in the army. 1t is
said that, under modern methods
of warfare, they make splendid
soldiers and are as fearless as
were their ancestors in the days
of yesteryear.

THREATENS FREE
PRESS WITH A
LIBEL SUIT
REGISTRANT DOESN'T WANT HIS
NAME PRINTED IN DRAFT
CLASSIFICATIoNS
SAYS PAPER WILL PAY CASH
Man Who Was Registered on Order of
Sheriff Defies Newspaper to
Publish His Name.

The Idaho County Free Press is
threatened with a libel suit. James Zeb
Hallet, alias Zeno Casey, is the man
who threatens to file suit against the
Idaho County Free Press if this paper
prints his name in the classifcations as
handed down by the local draft board.
Mr.. Hallet so informed the editor of the
Free Press Friday, when he called at
this office and asked that the Free
Press refrain from publishing his name
along with those of the other regis
trants of Idaho county.
Asked if he had any good reason
why the Free Press should, not print
his classification, Mr.. Hallet, who is a
ranch hand, declared that he had. He
was asked to name the reason, and i'm
mediately replied that it was none of
our business why he didn It want his
name printed.
Will Print His Name
Mr.. Hallet, who became very indig
nant, was told that, when the local
board announced mis- classification IA
the selective draft, his name would be
duly published in the Idaho County
Free Press.
81 tell you now not to print it,
shouted Mr.. Hallet He was informed
that he was not operating the Free
Press nor debating its policy, but Hal
let seemed to think differently.
''When a man tells you not to print
his name, you are not supposed to
print it, - Mr.. Hallet informed the edi-
tor. He was told that he was ignorant
of the law and that, in case a news
paper printed nothing of a hbelOus ma
ture concerning him, he had no recourse.
What He viii Do
You II find out, " Mr.. Hallet de
clared. You II have some money to
pay if you print my name. What II |
/ do? Why II get a lawyer after you, -
he remarked, III substance.
Hallet was told to file twenty cases, !
if he would be allowed to do so, and to |
hire every lawyer in Idaho county to |
prosecute the cases.
Inquiry at the sheriff s office reveals [
the fact that Hallet didn t register on
June 5. last. He claimed that he was
not p years of age at that time. How
ever, two months Gfterward, the sheriff
sent one of his deputies for Hallet and
he was brought to Grangeville and
was registered.
"He doesn 4 want to 90 to war, "
said a member of the draft board the
,ther day, in commenting on the mat
er However, it is believed that the
nan has good chance of seeing mill
airy service.

sLE1eH1Ne ENJOYED BY MANY
Traffic Now Is Largely On Runners
Bob-sled Parties

Sleighing is being enjoyed this week
on Camas Prairie, runers having taken
the place of wheels in many instances.
Though the recent thawing spells have
threatened to break up the sleighing
in places, the nights have been cold
enough to freeze the roadbeds and thus
prolong the sleighing season. Bobsled
parties of merrymakers have been made
up in Grangeville during the last few
evenings, to take advantage of the
sleighing. The hard roads also have
given wood haulers opportunity to
bring wood to town on sleds from the
hills

100 Girls Wanted by
Nebraska Red Cross
In Hospital Hut Work

Girls for canteen and hospital hut
service overseas are wanted imme-
diately by the Nebraska State Red
Cross. Applicants must be between
rs and IS years of age and should
have at least a high school educa-
ton.
Mrs. c. 7. Kountze has just re-
turned from a meeting in Chicago
of the bureau of personnel heads
from FIVE states, Michigan, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska. At
this meeting it was announced that
Nebraska's quota would be approx
mately 100 girls. In addition, a few
motor drivers are wanted for serv-
ice between Paris and the various
base hospitals, to relieve men from
motor truck duty on the front.
Mothers need not hesitate in al
lowing their daughters to go to
France on this Red Cross work"
said Mrs. Kountze. Some mothers
have expressed a fear as to the in
fuences that may surround their
girls. Each group will 60 over in
care of an older woman and they
will stay at pensions in Paris that
have been carefully investigated.
They will be as safe morally as if at
home"
If possible the girls for overseas
work are asked to pay their own
expenses, but helpers are so badly
needed that the Red Cross will fl
nance some of those who are es-
pecially we'll qualified.

Fremstad in "Tosca"
Replaces Mary Garden
in Opera Here in Nov.

One Of the unexpected exigencies
of grand opera season effects a
change in schedule OF the Chicago
Grand Opera company on its coming
tour, which includes a visit to Oma-
ha November | and 2 at the Audi
forum under the auspices of the AS
ISOLATED Retailers. Mary Garden
has cabled she has undergone an
operation for appendicitis and conse-
quently will to unable to appear in
opera this season.
The committee. having the choice
of a number of other operas and
stars, after careful study and mature
deliberation has selected Puccini's
"Tosca," the Italian intensely dra-
matte opera with Nine. Olive Frem-
stad in the leading role. This choice,
the committee feels, is a distinct
gain for Omaha, for Olive Frem-
stad is to "Tosca" what Mary Gar
den is to Thai" leading in
terpreter of the role III America and
equally famed in Europe.
During her brilliant career with
the Metropolitan Opera company
in New York, Nine. Fremstad's ap-
pearance as Floria Tosca never
failed to attract a large audience,
and she was always considered the
"prima donna absolute" of this role.
Later she appeared with the Chica-
go company and at the Boston
Opera house in Boston, always &C
claimed as "the ideal Tosca."
