STILL MAINTAIN
HANDLING CHARGES
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR ADMITS
ERROR IN ORDERING DISCON-
TINUANCE OF FEE

: LEWISTON.-Telegrams received
yesterday from State Food Admins
traitor Bicknell announce he was in
error in the advices sent by him a
few days ago to county administrators
that the grain corporation or dealers
charge of one per cent on grain hand
ling had been eliminated. Similar ad-
vices that the charge had not been
cancelled came from President
Houser, of the grain corporation at
Portland, whose jurisdiction applies
to the northwest. Mr.. Bicknell has
now sent kilograms to all county ad-
ministrators correcting his previous
message.
Grain dealers and warehousemen of
the Lewiston country felt at the time
the Bicknell message was received
that some error had occurred for the
effect of such a step would be prac-
tically to close all warehouses and
make impracticable the maintenance
of handling agencies.

OF woman suffrage. l have been an
advocate of it for twenty-five years.
| have spoken for it in every state of
the union where it has been up, but
| believe each state ought to settle
the question for itself.
am satisfied that to impose suf-
frage upon the southern states at this
time would be a distinct Injustice to
all OF the women of the south. I
have thousands of letters from them
to that effect. | enclose you a-short
one to show the drift of their senti-
ment
l seriously do not wish to offend
the women of my state, but l do not
feel justified in doing what l think
an injustice to large number of
people in my country for mere po-
litical expediency..

E'with electricity and the machinery
operated by this power, making the
homes so comfortable and nice that
farmer boys would cease to leave the
farms for the city.
He praised our soldiers and told
how Americans had led the advance
in France and how our american
boys opened up with deadly aim and
started comm toward EN-" and how
the Germans, who had hoped to ter
rorize the Americans were overcome
with fear and "started runnin' and
they're runnin' yet" He pictured the
work of the Red Cross nurses who
"keep the spirit of the body and soul
together" during the first few hours
after the soldier is wounded and told
of the many millions Of lives the Red
Cross nurses had saved for England.
He said that England had lost in
killed, 100000 and had wounded
numbering 4,5OO,O0O and eff it hadn't
been for these Red Cross nurses the
figures would have been reversed"
Therefore he wanted every Red

Mr.. .Samuels said: "My feelin's is

took an interest in her case but dis
covered that only "enlisted men"
could go through the lines. He in
formed her of the rulings and she
offered to enlist and did so, being en-
rolled as private. She was then
permitted to continue her journey.
On arriving at Galetin, Tennessee,
Mrs. Smith was taken to the out

The streets were blocked with every
Kind of vehicle or article that would

"Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle
men: read in this evenings paper

Mr.. Samuels reviewed his life and
