When, few months ago, one of our
troop ships was torpedoed there were,
OF course, many worried mothers. One
of them received a cable message tell
ing her Of her sons rescue, and was
naturally much relieved. But this cable
was followed almost Immediately by
another asking for money by cable.
The mother of this lad was rather
puzzled by the message, AZ she could
not tell IL 1t was genuine or not. She
did not wish to risk sending a com
paratively large amount of money to
an imposter, 50 she hit on the plan
of sending q return message asking
the sender Of the tirst cable to cable

names which would only be known to
a member of the family.
The answer with the right names
came at once. and the son received
the money. He has been boastlng OF
his mothers cleverness ever since.

LOCAL PRICES FOR
THIS YEARS WHEAT.

In answer to an inquiry, the follow
ing information comes to me from
Harvey Alfred, State Director of
Farm Markets, Boise, Idaho:
The price for No. wheat is $500
I. o. b. shipping points on main
lines and subject, Of course, to dock
age. The price for No. will be
$1.s7; for No. 8 $1.ss. The Food
has announced that
they would consider price charged
above &c per bushel by dealers for
handling and financing the shipment
of the grain, exhobitant; SO we can
generally depend upon &c being
charged by the elevators and mill
men where they assume all respons-
Utility in shipmentss and advance
the farmer the cash at time of load
ing.
In the event the farmer Ii not sat
isfied with the grade the buyer may
designate his grain to be, he can APP
peal to this Department and obtain
official grading, which will be bind
ng on the dealer and producer alike.
here are other ways in which the
rover may protect himself IL he does
not wish to pay the price charged by
the dealer for handling his wheat.
One is by direct shipment to the
;rain corporation. Chicago terminal.
In order to avail himself of this.
the government will handle bis grain
free OF charge. The shipper would
have to assume all risks incidental
to shipping his wheat and wait un-
til his grain reached market termin-
ais for his pay. Or he can ship to
eastern private grain corporations
by arrangements made through the
Federal Grain Corporation, and
which will be announced as soon as
get full information. This corpora
ton will handle the wheat on basis
of lie bushel, advancing to the far
mer from SO to Is per cent of the
value Of his grain through bank
draft on receipt of bill of lading. The
shipper will then wait until grain
reaches terminals for balance of his
pay and will assume all risks incl
dental to shipping. The Intermoun-
tain Farmers Equity at Pocatello
will handle your grain on per cent
basis under the same conditions OF
advancements and responsibility.
II farmers desire official grading
on their wheat they can get all nee
essary information to get 1t from this
office. d. L. SAGENT,

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the Fourth LIB
erty Loan begins September 2S and
closes October 10. While the
amount has not yet been announced,
1t 10 generally conceded 1t will be for
a larger amount than any OF the pre-
ceding loans. The American peo-
pie, therefore. are called upon to
raise larger sum OF money In a

fore. There Is need, therefore, for
prompt action-prom and efficient

scriptions.
We have q great inspiration for a
great effort. The news from the bat
tlefront inspires every American
heart, not only with pride and patri-
otism but with great incentive to do
his or her part. There is no shirk-
ing, on shifting OF the individual bur-
den. no selflshness by American sol

THE CONSTRUCTIVE SPIRIT.

II there ID one thing we would
impress upon our readers over an-
other 1t is the Importance OF con-
structiveness with relation TO the in
dustries and the business interests
of the state generally.
Idaho has only begun TO develop.
We have made a fairly good start
but we are far removed from the
goal of our ambitions. There are
still broad acres lying idle; there re-
mains in the mountains vast stores
OF treasure; our dairy industry is on
ly in It's infancy and in other con-
nections 1t may be truthfully stated
that we are merely at the alpha of
our development.
It requires capital and lots OF it TO
accomplish the ends towards which
we are all striving, and altho we
have the natural resources all efforts
to attract capital to them will be
largely neutralized IL the state
should acquire reputation OF being
antagonistic to new capital or OF
mistreating that which has already
invested In our state and which, in
relation to the larger operations, has
so far failed to reap any adequate re-
turns from the financial confidence
It has repoBed In the state.
1t Is time for all our people to
give serious attention to this sub
ject, II Idaho lie to avoid the conse-
quences that have befallen other
states where undue agitation and
uniustifable harrassment have char
acterized the attitude Of the public
toward business institutions. II
there Is anything wrong at any point
It can be corrected, but in this pro-
cess the mistake IL often made of
bringing every enterprise within the
sweep of general condemnation be-
cause OF some possible faults of a
few that, in any event, are usually
controlled either by competition or
by public bodies or both, and that
can hardly depart far from the lines
OF correct business policies and fair
treatment OF the public because OF
the inhibition thereby imposed.
Idaho can be made to grow by
ieaps mad bounds but Idaho people
must take the initiative and first
show the outsiders. both investors
and homeseekers. that we are not q
carping, obstructing or destructive
people, but that we are lndustrially
progressive, and by our treatment OF
business concerns within the state
give assurance to all who may have
their eyes turned to Idaho that they
may come here with perfect safety,
assured In advance that they will be
treaated with absolute fairness
