FINLAND PLEADS
FOR FOOD FROM
UNITED STATES
Denmark, Norway and Swed-
en- Present Appeal From
Famine Sufferers.

WASHINGTON, Ang. 9.-Identical
notes from Norway, Sweden and Den
mark, appealing to the United States
to aid famine sufferers in Finland,
were presented to the state depart
ment today by the ministers OF the
three Scandinavian countries.
Pledges were offered that no food
sent from America would be allowed
10 fall into the hands Of the Germans
or to aid Germany in any way. Alb
sence OF a responsible government In
Finland to give such guarantees on its
own account until now has blocked all
plans for help from America or allied
sources.
The appeal was the subject Of con-
ference during the day between Col
Vile Barclay, counsellor of the British
embassy, who is acting as ambassador
and Acting Secretary Polk. A reply
probably will be made shortly.
The Scandinavian governments act
ed, it is learned, after being urged as
brothers to do something for the
Films. The American government Is
assured In the appeal that the Firms
will be willing to accept whatever
terms may be adopted by the Scandi-
lcGdIuluS Tue dllOIl
CT supplies and that Germany also
will furnish proper guarantees.
DR.. Kaarlo lgnatius,' who was sent
to this country last fall by the Finnish
, government for the dual purpose of
seeking recognition of Finnish indie
pendence and obtaining foodstuffs, has
returned to Finland He was unable
to obtain any assurance that Finland
would be recognized by the United
States, although recognition has been
given by Switzerland and France, as
well as the Scandinavian countries
and Germany.
1t is stated that political conditions
in Finland are so unsettled as to make
it seem unwise from the American
and British standpoint to grant recog-

Millions of Acres Available.
Millions of acres of land that have
never known the feel of the pillow are
waiting for the home-seeker in the
great Empire States of the Trans Mis-

Many of these acres are in the dry
farming sections, many OF them can
be brought under irrigation bitches.
In addition to this wild" land,
there are many acres in these states,
now cultivated in large tracts, which

MOVEMENT.
Get READY FOR THE WARS END

"Wonderful Idaho" This is the
spontaneous comment Of all those
who know anything about this most
interesting state. According to the
record Of its agricultural department,
Idaho holds the record for continuous
seasons without farm crop failures.
There are within its boundaries
more irrigated acres than In any other
state. Two Government projects ir-
rigate a total of 100000 acres, and
the private irrigation projects are
numbered by the thousand.
Water falls furnish an inexhaustible
power for the manufacture of cleo
tricity and In many Idaho communi-
ties the use of electric appliances Is
more universal than In the large CEN
tiers of the east. Electricity is used
extensively, not only for lighting and
for power but for heating and for
cooking.
In these days, when the hog has
demonstrated its value as q farm
animal. 1t is profitable to bear in mind
the fact that Idaho Is more free of
hog cholera than any other state.
The potato is one of the great pro-
ducts Of this State and 1t holds the
worlds record for the largest potato
production per acre. This production
having In one instance reached 7Si
bushels. The State r also rapidly
coming to the front ranks in the pro
duction Of sugar beets.
Idaho Fruits are World Famous.
The fruits of Idaho are of the high
est quality and Idaho apples ant
Idaho prunes are famous the world
over.
There are still many acres Of IN
developed land In Idaho. Man,
thousand Of acres that are now giver
over to sage brush and jack rabbits

don projects. or the coming of tn
scientific dry farmer. Many of tn

would always reign, there are nov
