FARM MARKETS BUREAU ADVISING
FARMERS TOPAY PRICE FIXED FOR LABOR

The state farm markets bureau has
issued the following bulletin cover
ing farm labor for the current season.
We have In Idaho, citizens and
aliens some subject to draft, others
who are not--who are unwilling to
work for the current wage. In fact
they would not work for any stipu-
lated figure if they thought their
refusal to work would force the pay
merit of a higher wage,
Idaho has arranged wage scale
which is as high or higher than that
paid by any other state in the Union
for like agricultural labor. That
scale has been approved by the State
Council Of Defense as Just and reason
able. All our papers published in
the state have been provided with
that wage scale. We now most re-
spectfully ask all our papers to pub
lish that wage scale IN every issue
of their paper for the benefit Of their
readers for a period sufficiently long
that all their patrons may become
fully acquainted with it. 1t is in
condensed form as follows,
For harvest hands, $500 for day
Of ten hours with board, and maxi
mum of 45c an hour for overtime.
Monthly wage, $4,000 with board !;
or for married men who board them
selves $4,000 month with suitable
housing For expert irrigators,
$500 month and board
We respectfully ask all farmers
employing help to abide by that
scale that there may be no competi-
tive bidding against fellow farmers,
and that the laborer may be assured
his wage and protected in obtaining
it,
We respectfully ask the farm
laborer to accept this wage scale and
become an earnest producer with the
farmer for whom he labors; in order
that we may know our reliable patri-
otic men working for stipulated
price can, be left at home to help
produce the food our soldiers and
allies must have.
We are now engaged in the blood
lest war the world has ever known,
Our lives and our liberties are at
stake. 1t Is unjust that our brothers
and our sons should die in France
while slackers bleed the producers

REGISTRANTS GET
into new CLASSES
Elmore County Local Board
Celebrates ''Class One
Week" by Giving Lists
and Questionairres a
Thorough Inspection.

The Elmore county draft board is
celebrating "Class One Week
Questionairres are being thorough
ly gone over by the board to ascer-
tain the registrants who should be
reclassified under the provost mar
shall generals order for general re-
adjustment upward from the deferred
classes.
The status of many registrants
has been changed by circumstances
that will warrant the placing of the
men in higher classes than they were
given under conditions that obtained
when the questionairres were made
out last winter, Chairman Arthur
Stevens said Thursday. In other
cases, registrants were originally
given lower classifications than a
closer study of their cases would
have shown them entitled to. For
these reasons quite number of
changes will be made.
As soon as the board completes
It's review of questionairres, regis
trants affected will be summoned be-
fore the medical advisory board for
re-examination in cases of men here
tofore classified for special or limit
ed service, and registrants, affected
by other than physical requirements,
will be called upon to present proof
as to why they should not be placed
in higher classes.

ADVANCE IN PRICE
OF NEWS PAPER
%EE dH4HFHF MAE@
War Conditions Have Made
it Necessary to Raise Sub
scription Price of Repub-
lican Fifty Cents a Year.

Owing to the excessive cost of
everything that enters into the
making of a newspaper, the manage
ment Of the Republican will advance
the subscription price on the first of
July to $3.50 Within the past year
white paper has more than doubled
in price. ink has gone up to about
The same extent, wages have taken
d big advance, linotype metal has
done It's bit and so far as we are
able 10 discover there is nothing that
we have to buy for the use OF the
paper that is still at the same old
price.
This advance does not put the
price Of the paper to the point that
it's publisher charged in an earlier
day. The Republican cut the price OF
its subscription from $500 to $500
in 1893, and the Elmore Bulletin
met that price. The Bulletin was
later merged into the Maverick and In
1911 the Maverick was absorbed by
the Republican. Since that time the
Elmore Times was taken over and
consolidated with the Republican,
and during the past two and one
half years there has been only one
newspaper in Mountain Home But
even with only one newspaper the
prices have remained the same as
were charged before with the result
that the raise to war prices has left
us doing business below cost, a state
that makes price reYisions necessary.

the point I want to bring out is this.

press agent of the Triangle missed a

VARIOUS WAR SERVICES
CHURCHES OF ROME ENTER INTO
CHRISTIAN SPIRIT NEEDED IN
THESE TIMES.

Of the special services in all parish
churches of Rome on last Sunday the
eliminating note was struck by that in
st. Mary Major. In the morning there
was Mass of, General Communion, Ex-
position of the Blessed Sacrament all
day, and in the evening ''Litanies, .
with special prayers for the salvation
of the country, for peace through vic
tory, and Benediction given by the
Archpriest of the Basilica, the Dean of
the Sacred College, Cardinal Vannu-
telli.
The function was organized by the
"Circolo di San Pietro," all the Roman
and international colleges and relig-
ious associations were there, and the
official lea1et, issued with ecclesiasti-
cal authority, rang with patriotism.
God protect and bless Italy," was it's
motto. It quoted Plus TX; then poet,
not Christian, as it said, Carducci;
then an Italian Senator, Pratt, the poet
of the Italian "Unredeemed Terrific
ries;" and finally, to embrace, as again
it said, all parties and all faiths, to
show what love of country is-Mazzini
Not much doubt now of the devotion
to their country of Italian Catholics.
