Government Crop Report for Ida.

Boise, December 27.-Consider-
ing those crops for which acreage
and production figures are avail
able, Idaho's farms have produe-
ed products TO the value of $780,
626, 900 this year as compared to
$64 AIS, 900 in 1916.
An interesting feature is the
shifting Of the winter and spring
wheat acreage. Winter-killing
last winter, stabilized price and
increased production campaigns
are largely responsible for this
change. Unfavorable weather
conditions reduced the yield per
acre Of all cereals, while potatoes
and hay show an increase when
compared with 1916.
Below is given the acreage and
production of crops and the prices
prevailing December 4, 1917, and
1916 as complied by the Bureau

SON PUTS COIN IN SLOT;

Andrew ]. jackson Found Dead ;
Body Rushed to Hospital by Po-
lice, Hoping to Save Life.

A coin dropped in a quarter-in-the-
slot meter at the residence Of Andrew
J. Jackson. 1922 36th street, after the
gas had automatically been cut on, per-
mitted the flow of gas into Jackson's 8
bedroom and his death resulted. Ed
ward Jackson. a son. dropped the coin
in the meter last night about 1880
o'clock. on his return home. and this
morning he went to his fathers room
and found him dead.
When the elder jackson retired last
night, it is stated, he left a dim light in
his room. His wife, knowing the quar-
ter's supply of gas was almost ex-
hausted, left a note directing the son
to drop a quarter in the slot when he
reached home. The supply was shut
off before the young man returned, ex-
tinguishing the light in his fathers
room. and when the son dropped the
quarter in the slot the flow was
started.
No odor of gas was detected in tho
house until this morning about S
o'clock. when the son went to his ia
theirs room. Police of the seventh pre-
cinct. thinking it possible that there
was n spark Of life LEFT in the body.

Huns Try to EIectrocute
Americans, Then Signal to
U. S. to Barrage Own Troops

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. February 17.-An American
patrol having passed the first line of
German entanglements and approached
the second line last night was suddenly
the first-wire line.
Instead Of attempting an immediate
return to their trenches, which would
have meant certain death from electro
cution or machine gun fire, the Ameri-
cans clung close to the earth. and later,
when the electricity was cut off. re-
turned in safety to their positions.
Apparently. the Germans merely
turned on the current by chance. hop
ing that if any Americans were within
the entanglements they would be kill
ed on the wire or while trying to get
out. The patrol returned safely to the
American lines when the electricity was
cut off
The Germans, apparently having dis
American rocket signals, last night
caused the Americans for a consider
able distance along the front to pre-
pare for gas attack. At first the Ger
certain color which is the American
signal for gas attacks. but the hoax
was discovered soon after the troops
adjusted their gas masks
nne Germans next sent up rocket
calling for barraEe by the Americans,
but the American officers on obserya-
tion duty in an advanced post seeing
whence the rocket came, sent message
to the artillery in time to prevent it
from laying down the needless she'll
fire. The command to fire was ready to
be given when the information reached
the gunners that the enemy was re-
sponsible for the barrage signal. Ex
tremeiy quick work was necessary i6to
stop the order to fire. for the America q
artillery has reached a high degree of
speed in going into action.
The Germans are coming to realize
this and they are not so free with their
| shells as In the early days of the Amer
lcan occupation of the line. In the Ian
guage OF the front, every time that
Fritz sends over one shell now he rets
''an armful" in return. %
