DISTRICT BOARD
REvERSES ITSELF
LATAH COUNTY REGISTRANTS
HAVE CLASSIFICATION RAISED
BY BOARD

Reversing itself in many instances,
the district board at Standpoint has
changed the number of many Latah
county registrants and as a result
there will not be the shortage of farm
help here that was feared. Many who
had formerly been put in class l have
been put in the second, third and
fourth classes, which means that they
will probably not be called this year.
The local board received ia ques-
tionnaires from the district board Sat
urday and these show many changes.
These are questionnaires that had al
ready been before the board, or 80 of
them had been before the district
board previously, and has been passed
on by that board. In nearly every
case the registrants had been placed
in class L. Just what caused the
change is not known here, but the
board at Standpoint sent for 80 of
these missionaries that had been
passed upon and changed nearly eve
ry one of them.
A very few were changed from class
2 to class 1,but nearly all of them
were placed in deferred classes. Many
who had been placed in class 1 by
the district board when it first had the
uuestionnaires, were put back into
classes and 4. 1t is believed that
70 per cent of the go were placed in
deferred classes. All of these were
agriculturalists.
Three cases from this county were
appealed to President Wilson who re-
fused to act upon them, following his
rule to not interfere where the finding
Of the district board IS unanimous, as
was the case in all of these cases, of
which five were appealed and but
three have been returned to the local
board
Martin Alexander Anderson, who is
farming $40 acres on the Palouse RI
yer in Latah county, east OF Palouse,
and owns 100 acres of this land and
has no one to help him, claimed de-
ferred classification on the grounds
that he is a necessary head of an ag-
ricultural industry. The district
board placed him in class 1. He ap-
pealed to President Wilson, who re-
fused to interfere and sent the pa
pers back to the district board, which
reversed its former decision and
placed him in class a, as 'sthe neces-
sary head of an agricultural indus
try"
Oscar w. Nelson, who is farming
land just east of Palouse and had been
put in class 1E, also appealed to Pres
ident Wilson who refused to take ac-
ton and the district board acted on
his case, but made no change. The
grounds for retaining him in this class
is that he engaged in farming too re-
Gently to be regarded as bonafide
farmer. Nelson is a married man and
as such will be in class 4, anyway,
so it really makes no difference
whether he is recognized as "nec-
essary head of agriculture" or not.
Harvey Henry Howell, of near Pa
louse is another who appealed to
President Wilson but is left in class 1
after action being refused by the pres
ident and the district board refusing
to make any changes. He is farm
ing only so acres just east of Palouse
in Latah county.

WHEAT PRICE
IS FIXED BY
THE PRESIDENT
WILSON ISSUES PROCLAMATION
MAKING PRICE FOR PACIFIC
COAST POINTS
PRICE 81 At SPOKANE
BASED ON PRICES PAID FOR 1917
CROP-HOOVER PROMISES
AN INCREASE

The price of the 1918 wheat crop
has been fixed by President Will
son in a proclamation issued Satur-
day evening. The price paid for the
1917 crop was used as basis for fix
ing this years price and there will
be few changes from the ruling prices
of last year. The telegram, dated at
Washington Saturday night, says:
A price Of $2.20.a bushel-the same
as for last years crop-was fixed by
President Wilson tonight for the COM
ing seasons wheat yield. The price
is for No. northern spring whe1t at
Chicago, with a scale of differentials
for other markets. The differentials
differ to slight extent from those
now operative and range from a mini
mum of So to maximum of $22S.
So Bushel at Spokane
On the basis of No. l northern
spring wheat and it's equivalents, the
president fixed the prices as follows:
Spokane, Great Falls, Pocatello,
Salt Lake, $500.
Seattle, Portland, Oklahoma City,
s2.o5.
Wichita, $2.08.
Forth Worth, $2.O9.
San Francisco, Los Angeles, $2.10.
Omaha, $2.15.
Kansas City, $2.16.
Minneapolis, Duluth, $2.47.ss-~ss~v.s-
St. Louis, $2.18.
Galveston New Orleans, 1920.
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Newport
News, Charleston, Savannah, 1927.
New York, 1928.
The equivalent of No. 1 northern to
which the same price applies are No.
hard winter, No. 1 red winter, No. 1
durum and No. hard white. The
wheat must be harvested in the Uni
ted States during 1918 and sold in the
market before June 1, 1919.
This price would be equivalent to
about $195 at Inland Empire points,
such as Moscow, but an effort is still
being made to secure the Chicago
price for coast. points and the pros
poets for success seem quite good.
Herbert Hoover, national food admin
istrator, had promised delegation
from Washington and Idaho that Chi
cago prices would be given for wheat
at Pacific coast points and in a tele-
gram to Charles Hebbard, state food
administrator at Spokane, Sunday, Mr.
Hoover reiterates that promise. His
telegram follows:
ssThe shipping board has undertaken
to transport the excess production of
1918 wheat or flour from the Pacific
coast in government vessels and has
made rate of Sc Ga ton) for flour and
$3.50 for wheat. In consequence the
food administration will be able to
raise the basis for 1918 harvest at Pa
cific coast points to approximately the
Chicago basis Give this publicity
This will mean about $2.17 at Port
land, or about $2.05 to $2.07 at inter-
ior points, as an ocean rate of $3.50
per ton to Atlantic coast points means
that wheat can be laid down there for
two cents more than sthe price from
Chicago.

AVERT LOSS OF
 STEAMSHIP TRADE

New York, Oct. 30.---The city au- thorities today announced steps would be taken to avert the loss to this port of the business of 25 steamship com pantes whose vessels, coastwise and transatlantic, dock here. Murray Hubert, dock commissioner stated that the companies would seek ac- commodations at Philadelphia, Bos- ton, Baltimore, Norfolk and other At lantic ports unless increased docking facilities could be assured at New York, announced that the situation would be considered at a conference on Friday with the Federal Regional Harbor officials. -
 The steamship companies said their business had been curtailed because i of the governments action in taking i over so many of the docks for war purposes.
 MT. Hubert said today he was en- outraged by the letter he received from Secretary of Commerce Redfield favoring a transfer of the termini of the Long Island Sound steamships plying between New England ports and New York from the North river | to the East river. The commissioner said this would be one of the changes to be discussed Friday with a view tc | turning the deep water facilities in the North river over to the steamship companies which have tn: eatened tc move to other ports.

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and Fresh Every Day
 -rrA Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash
 out poIsons,

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 s'olks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache. stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-, ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sou: bile and poisonous toxins. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins blood disorders and sickly compleXions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store
 which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounce
 ed crank on the subject of internal
 sanication.-Adv.

Met With Serious Accident

J. c.. johnson, night Waterman and
engine hostler at the local railway
depot. met witty a painful and serious
accident last Tuesday morning. He
was sitting on the step of the motor
car and riding from the r%oundhouse
down to the depot. and when the car
was running slowly near the water
tank attempted to step off. His foot
struck a tie or rock and he was
thrown down, striking on his head
and right shoulder. While his head
was cut and bleeding he was not
thought to be seriously injured and he
was taken home. DR.. Bremen was
called and an examination disclosed
that his right collar bone was broken.
AS this is a particularly hard bone to
hold in place while it is knitting, his
progress toward recovery will be
slow, but he is doing as we'll now as
can be expected. James Delaney has
taken his place at the depot.
