w. r. Alworth, member of the
State Council of Defense and head of
the Idaho State Farm Bureau, spoke
at length on the subject of farm la
Dor, farm labor wage scale, and ade
quate food production. Mr.. Alworth
explained in detail as to the manner
III which the present farm wage scale
was arrived at This being done at
the State Farm Bureau meeting at
Idaho Falls in February. This scale
and method of handling the farm
labor question has been Endorsed by
the State Council of Defense and sew
eral county councils IN Twin Falls
county the County Farm Bureau is
handling the matter very successfully
according to the plan, and the wage
scale is adhered to without variation.
After a thorough discussion of the
ton was proposed by c. c. Wilburn
of Jerome:
| RESOLVED: That the Lincoln
! County Council of Defense has care
fully canvassed the labor situation
and has reached the conclusion that
it is to the best interests of all Of
the people at this time that the uni
form farm wage scale as set forth in
the State Farm Bureau, he observed
during the season of 1918. The Coun-
ell believes that all patriotic citizens
will desire to cooperate with tho
Council in making this schedule ef.
fective. Any departure from this
scale of wages by the farmers of Liz
coin County will be looked upon by
the County Council of Defense rs al
act calculated to lessen the efficiency
of the country in the prosecution oi

1t is the view of leading naval
authorities who have examined this
branch CT the subject that subma-
rinc operations should be limited to
attacking warships forming the reg
ular part OF navy. Attacks would
be prohibited against merchant
ships, either passenger or freight,
and whether armed dcfcnsivcy Or
otherwise. According to this view
submarines would continue to be an
arm Of naval sacrifice, bit their use
would be confined strictly to nayal
warfare.

Up to a late hour tonight the de-
s,rttction OF five sailing craft and the
tanker Herbert l.. Pratt was the rec

navy department. The fate OF the

ported by wireless yesterday she was

crews OF some OF the craft destroyed

story OF eleven days imprisonment

NO WHEAT FOR TEN WEEKS
Housewives Must Abstain Until New
Crop Comes In.

Washington, June For ten
weeks the Nation is to be on a vir-
ITALY Wheatless basis.
Squeezed down to 20 per cent of
normal wheat supplies, the American
household must 60 virtually wheatless
until August IS, when the new crop
becomes available.
Food Administration officials quiet
" are putting the new program into
eject. Every fraternal society,
church, Sunday school and religious
organization has been asked By
Hoover to pledge each OF its members
to abstain entirely from use OF wheat
until the new crop is out.
Thousands OF others will be reached
through wonen's clubs, commercial
organizations and other channels.
Texas has volunteered to adopt the
wheatless schedule. While labor or
CARNATIONS have not been asked to
abandon wheat food, administration
officials look for savings from work
inglnen, but do not ask complete abol-
itlon al wheat by them.
While it is expected that the baking
industry will be hit by the wheatless
program, the grain shortage leaves no
alternative if the Allies are to be fed.
Hospitals and other institutions still
will require wheat The exceptions to
the wheatless rule will practically eat
up the surplus lett in the United
States, forcing the great body of
housewives to bake quick breads and
in other ways cease using wheat.
Official figures show that slightly
over go million bushels OF wheat are
left for domestic consumption until
August IS. Normally we would use
100 million bushels in that time.

These men must agree to accept for
their labor sum not in excess of the
pay of private, plus subsistence.
While dealing kindly with object

plain, will not stand for any nonsense
from ultra-rav,u long-haired OBJ

principles are such that they cannot
be associated in any manner with war

mission That U-Boat Has
Failed,

Washington, June 3.-Germany at
last has brought her submarine war
fare to the shores of the United
States, apparently in a forlorn hope
of striking telling blows on this side
of the Atlantic and of drawing home
some OF the American naval forces
from the war zone, where the U-boat
menace is being slowly but surely
strangled to death. T..
In the attacks upon coasting YES
sells almost in sight of the New Jer-
sey shore reported today, naval Off
cials see frantic admission from Ber-
lin that the submarine has failed.
American armed power is rolling
overseas in ever-increasing force, de-
spite the utmost exertions of the IN
dersea pirates off the coasts of Eu-
rope.
Now the raiders have crossed the
seas and lurked for days near Ameri-
cas- greatest ports. They no doubt
were sent to sink transports, but here
again they have failed. Blocked off
the troop ships by convoy craft, they
have turned in fury against defense
less coasters.
In all the period OF destruction they
have written, the raiding party has
struck at no vessel bound overseas
and therefore armed for fight. Only.
