man; \. c. Whistler, secretary; J.

Carl Grief and J. A. Henderson drew
up resolutions, as follows, which
were adopted by the delegates:
I'VE find that there exists short
age of feed grain and hay through
out the county, no locality having
surplus We also find that the bar
ley and corn supply of California and
the east will be sufficient to take
care of the needs of the country pro-
yiding transportation can be OBJ

reasonable supply OF alfalfa hay in
southern Idaho and the Yakima val
ley.
I'VE recommend that owing to the
scarcity of hay in this county, farm
ers be urged to conserve straw by
fencing their stacks or securing it i'll
some way so stock can not waste it,
and we suggest that alfalfa hay be
mixed with one-third straw and two
thirds hay, as the ration will be i'm
proved by the mixture for the feed
ing of horses.
I'VE call attention to the order OF
the food administration that milk

RECIPE FOR WAR SYRUP

Now, while there is need for saw
ing sugar, the following recipe for
war syrup will prove acceptable and
valuable to those who enjoy hot
cakes. Hot cakes should be encour-
aged because the flapjacks the Yam
KEGS are so fond of are great wheat
savers. Practically every substitute
makes good hot cakes, and they form
the fayorite American breakfast
when served with good syrup.
War Syrup
Two cups syrup, one cup water:
boil five minutes. Cool. Add
one teaspoon Mapleine and one
eighth teaspoon salt
This recipe was furnished by a
prominent cooking expert and is
recommended, as the syrup may be
served not only with hot cakes, but
on mush, cornbread, fritters and
puddings.

WAR FINANCE PLAN
 STRIKE UNEXPECTED
 SENATE OPPOSITION
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIrs1,

WASHINGTON, March 2-Unex- pected opposition to the administration measure to establish war finance corporation arose today in the senate, thwarting leaders plans for it's passage tonight and forcing the bill over until next week.
 Enactment of the measure, possibly With material notifications, was not believed by leaders to be endangered. The opposition centered chiefly on the proposal for licensing by a capital is- sues committee" of security issues of S100.000 and more
 Virtually no progress was made on the bill today. Only one minor amend ment was disposed of and that-ex- tending the provision for direct loans to persons as we'll as corporations was accepted by Senator Simmons in charge of the bill, when members of the banking committee and others insisted that farmers and small business men, as well as capitalists and large corpora tions, should be allowed to receive di- rect advances from the corporation.
 iiardwick Opposes Measure
 Senator Hardwick, democrat, today came out in vigorous opposition to the legislation. He declared it was un- necessary and would confer enormous pOWeIS over AIutIlCdu u q few men. The measure, he asserted, would create machinery similar to the Aldrich- -Vreeland central bank plan, but with vastly more arbitrary power
 Disapproval of the securities licens- ing plan was expressed by some sem ators, who believe the present volun- tary committee cooperating with the treasury department, would answer the purpose, while Senator Smith of Michi- gan, republican, opposed conferring upon the secretary of the treasury such enormous powers which he said the bil authorized. He suggested that the fed eral reserve act be amended to place these powers in the hands of the twelve reserve banks.
 Senator Simmons staunchly defended | the measure and declared the fedora reserve system cannot adequately cop, with the financial needs of American | industry in view Of the virtual com mandeering of the money market b! | the government. r s-f

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
TRepubIican A. P. Leased Wire1

Raids of growing intensity and ire quency on the Franco Belgian front are furnishing the chief features of military interest, particularly in view of the increasing degree of American participation in the fighting. Larger issues, however, are involved in the Russian situation, the uncertainties of which are giving rise to manifold mili- tary and political complications.
 The peace negotiations between the Bolshevilki and the Germans seem to have been broken off. Manifestly, at any rate there is developing a grow ing measure of belligerency among the Russian proletariat who with the safety of the revolution as a rallying cry are reported to be responding from all sides to support it.
 Rumania Stiffens Defense
 Likewise, the peace negotiations be- tween Rumania and the central powers are reported in unofficial advices from Berlin to have failed. The unsatisfac- tory reply of the Rumanian king is said to have been responsible for the 1 break. A semi official Berlin state ment, however, says the German and Austrian representatives have not left Bucharest where the session were held The German advance into the interior of Russia is in full swing again, witt columns reported moving toward Petro- grad from Pskov and pushing northeast along the railway from Podolsk witt the object of cutting the Moscow Pet rograd railway.
 Germans Occupy kiev
 In the south the Germans have SC. cured their immediate objective in tht Ukraine by occupying Kiev, the capita of the republic, after little more thar a ten-day march through the countr, on the 200 mile route east from tn, former fighting front.
 The tentative proposals for Japanes intervention in Siberia because of tn Russian situation have not culminatet in any definite decision by the allies so far as the current advices reveal London dispatches mention a growth, tendency there to discuss the situation fully and await developments, parti cularly the attitude the United State
 may assume. China is also involve
 in this situation.

JUAREZ, Mexico, March Zone Mexican civilian was killed last night during the exchange of shots between American soldiers and Mexicans just west of the international bridge. His body was recovered near the river bank and buried here today. This was learned during the official investiga- tion made by military officers here today.

WASHINGTON. March Especial regulations devised to restrict the man. hfacture of malt "to the minimum ab- solutely required for legitimate pur- poses" were announced tonight by the food administration. The new rules are in line with the recent proclamation of President Wilson limiting the amount of grain to be used by brewers to 70 per cent of last years consumption.
 Masters are forbidden to malt more than 70 per cent of the amounts of grain used by them for corresponding six months periods last year, or to carry over the summer any of this years grains or to have on hand at any time more grain than the equivalent of 120 days output Contracts involv- ing delivery later than 120 days there- after are forbidden excepting govern ment or allied contracts.

Fifty enemy air planes took part in the raid, droppinq three hundred bombs. It was the most violent raid on any Italian objective since the war began.
 The rsidine airpIanes made three or four circles over the martyred city dropping with deadly accuracy fifteen bombs against the ducal palace, ten bombs on the Bridge of Siehs, five near the church of St. John and St. Paul and on the church of St. Simon. The dam ' age to the last named structure, which is on the grand canal, was very great one of its marble columns being thrown down.
 Two hospitals were struck by bombs and 1t is a miracle that damaqe to priceless monuments in the city was not worse. The entire casualties were one man killed and two women wounded.

GUARDS FIRE UPON
 PADDING REC|MENI
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre]

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March D. One man of a negro stevedore regi- ment was killed and two others wounded, one probably fatally. to- night when guards of the 18th in- fantry (regular) fired on several hundred of the stevedores who were attempting to wreck a small store near their camp some miles north of this city.
 The names of the dead man and the wounded were not made public.
 Colonel Daniel Van Voorhis, chief of staff here, in statement tonight said the stevedores had been re- turned to their camp and that no furthe. :. ouble was anticipated. The attack on the store, the colonel said, resulted from an argument between Private Turner, of the stevedore reg iment, and a white clerk at the soda fountain in the store. Turner re- turned to camp, gathered. together about 300 men and marched on the store, attempting to wreck it with bricks and bottles.
 When the assault began, the col oners statement said the 4Sth in- fantry guard was ordered to arrest the men. As the soldiers approached the negroes ran. Two commands .tc halt having passed unheeded. tho ! guard was ordered to fire. Three of the negroes fell. one dying al most instantly.
