Drowned in the Canal

On Tuesday of last week as Mr..
a ditch rider. was making
his usual ride on the ditch north
west of Jerome he came upon a
horse in the canal that had evidently
been drowned and the carcass carried
into an eddy at this point. Seeing
sheep camp near by he drove to 1t
and informed the herders they would
have to remove the horse from the
canal at once He was informed that
the horse was not the property of
that camp but thought it belonged
to man by the name of Roberts.
whose herder had not been seen for
a day or two and that they were look
ing after Roberts sheep. On furth-
ar investigation a cap belonging to
the herder was found and the con-
clusion arrived at that the rider and
horse, in attempting to cross the
canal at this point. had been drown
ed.
The authorities of Gooding coun-
ty we're notified and for several days
dragged and dynamited the canal at
this point. Their search was not re-
warded until Monday Of this week
when the body was discovered about

500 feet from where the cap was
found.
II Is presumed that in attempting
to cross the canal. the herder, who
had curbed bit on the horse, held
the animals head down until he
could not swim the stream. with the
above result. The canal at this point
Is about sixty feet wide and goes
through dirt fill with considerable
swiftness.
The young man was about nine
teen years OF age and as far as can
be learned had no relatives in this
section, but has sister in Nebraska.

Accident on the Grade

On last Saturday, what might
have been a fatal accident, occurred
on the Blue Lakes grade as a party
of jerome people were on their way
to attend the circus. In the car
were the two older Sorrels boys, their
mother and an infant child, also
Mrs. w. e. darlington and baby. On
the south side of the grade some
work is being done on the road. At
this point the driver lost control of
the car in some manner, backing
the car off the grade where it rolled
over. breaking the top and wind
shield The occupants of the car all
escaped injury, except Bert Sorrels,
whose leg was broken. He was taken
to the hospital at Twin Falls and
from last reports was resting easy.

greater. Non-essential labor Is being

tail labor Is being greatly curtailed.
Delivery service by retail groceries is
classed as less essential labor. II is
recognized that some delivery service

ready.

The attention Of the Food Admins.
tration has been called to extensive
profiteerirg in mill feeds and some
other products by some North Caro-
lima merchants. The complaints have
been so widespread that State Food
Administrator Page has instructed
County Food Administrators and the
eight inspectors in the field not only
to investigate and report any viola.
lions of the margins allowed but
where North Carolina dealers were
apparently getting only a fair margin
and yet were selling at a too-high
level OF price, to report the names of
the mills or dealers from whom the
mill feeds were originally purchased.
Mill feeds should be reaching the con-
sumers Of North Carolina at not more
than $40 to $45 per ton, even where
freight is added and the State Food
Administrator is determined that prof.
iteering In this product must cease.
North Carolina dealers have been
sufficiently warned by the Food AID.
ministration and incidents of profit.
eering hereafter will be drastically
dealt with. Already Mr.. Page has had
blacklist orders issued against a mum.
Der Of North Carolina merchants.
Among these are ]. L. Thompson Com
pany, one Of the largest concerns at
Dunn, who had charged margins Of 40
per cent to as high as rs per cent on
meat, lard compound, flour and mo-
lasses; and the United Cash Store
Company at Marshville which had dis.
regarded Food Administration rules
and regulations in a number of In.
stances. The Mclaughlin Company
at Raeford was allowed to contribute
$1,000 to the Red Cross and charities
in lieu of having a blacklist order is.
sued against them. A number Of
other dealers have been blacklisted
and larger number have been al.
lowed to make a contribution to the
Red Cross in lieu Of being put out Of
business.
"The profiteer has no place in bust.
ness at time like this" declared Mr..
Page to correspondent. "Prohteer-
ing and disregard of Food Admins.
tration rules and regulations will not
be tolerated In North Carolina. Offers
Of large donations to the Red Cross
are not going to be considered where
exorbitant profteering or wilful d.
regard OF Food Administration rS2Es
and regulations are shown" -
