Why We MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop In France was
less than half normal, using the crop
of 1913 as basis of comparison.
There was shortage of 10000. 900
bushels, or 533 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-rhird of nor
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit of 67.9 per. cent. Her meat
herds IN the early fall showed a short
age of 100000 animals.
Those are a few of the reasons
America must feed her associates in
lie war. They are aDsilonger able to
feed themselves. and unless we come
TO the rescue are face to face with
starvation And starvation means de-
feat in the war;

IDAHO TEACHERS
WILL DRAW PAY
CLOSING OF SCHOOLS BY QUAR-
ANTINE DOES NOT STOP PAY
OF THE TEACHERS

The state of Idaho is out approxi-
mately $4,000 per day in maintain
ing its school system during the Span
influenza epidemic, as all teachers
will continue to receive their calaries
during the closed period where their
contracts do not expressly state other
wise. More than 3700 teachers are
employed in the state, and the av-
erage salary is $100 per month. Other
expenses bring the total cost of op-
Grating the schools to approximately
100000 per school month of 20 days.
Much interest has been shown by
teachers in the question of whether
they were to receive their salaries or
not while the schools are closed. The
attorney general has rendered the fol-
LOVING opinion regarding this matter
in the case where a school was closed
during a quarantine last year and it
covers the present situation:
All Teachers Get Pay.
"By section So, laws of 1913, page
442, power is given the board of trus-
tees to employ and contract with
teachers. AS there is no provision of
the laws which has come to our at
tention that governs this situation the
question is one of the contract en-
tered into between the school board
and the teacher and the rights of the
teacher to receive pay and the liability
of the school board for salary viii be
governed solely by the contract.
In the absence of terms in the
contract permitting the school board
to suspend the salary of the teachers
during quarantine, it is the opinion
of this department that the salary
should continue throughout the period
of the quarantine. Occur d'Alene
