SUGAR ALLOWANCE
TO Be CUT AGAIN
COUNTY FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
IS ORDERED TO ISSUE NO
SECOND PERMITS

Lightning Change Artist" Bicknell
head of the state food administration
has evidently changed his mind again
about the sugar permits, for he has sent
to H. D. Martin, county administrator,
the following notice:
"There is considerable complaint be-
ing received as to abuses of the canning
sugar privileges. We desire to impress
upon you the seriousness of the sugar
situation and to request that you be very
careful in the issuance of special per-
mits
SIN no case should you issue special
permits for the purchase of canning
sugar in excess of the first 25-pound lot,
and then only upon the absolute showing
by the applicant that she has the fruit
for the preserving of which the extra
agar is applied for and that it is neces-
sary to have such sugar in order to keep
the fruit from spelling. Limit the issu-
ance of special permits just as much as
conditions will permit"

DEARY'S LIGHT VOTE
WAS DISAPPOINTING
HIGH SCHOOL PROP OSITION
CARRIED BUT RESULT is NOT
SATISFACTORY

Much disappointment has been
manifested by people Of the Avon sec
tiap over the outcome of the school
election. A great many-withou
question . majority-of the Avon
folks were favorable to coming into
the rural high school district, but ow-
ing to harvest, many who would have
voted to come in felt that they could
not spare the time to go to the polls.
The vote in that district was tie
7 to land therefore unsatisfactory
All would rather have seen it
decisive, one way or the other. AS it
stands, Avon cannot come into the
district without another election.
About seven-tenths of the assess
ed valuation Of the eight districts par
ticipating is represented in those vot-
ing favorably, which will insure a
good high school. The county COM
missioners at their next meeting will
appoint a set of five directors for
terms of one, two, three, four and
five years. At the next school cleo
tion the director appointed for one
year will retire and another elected
for five years. 1t is hoped that the
first term of high school in the new
district can be made so good that
other districts will want to join it.

CUTS OUT COMMISSION
FOR BUYING WHEAT

H. D. Martin today received tele-
gram from State Food Administrator
Bickne1l stating that the national grain
corporation which is handling the wheat
of the nation has discontinued the one
per cent & cents a busheD charge for
handling grain 1t is taken to mean that
the price will be increased by one per
cent because of this change. The tele-
gram follows:
'The Grain Corporation advises us the
one per cent administration fee to grow
ers and dealers for handling wheat con-
signments has been eliminated. Please
give wide publicity
1t is believed that there is an error in
this telegram and that the world "grow-
ers" should be shippers or rnil1ers, for
there has never been any provision for
paying any one per cent fee to growers.

MERCHANT MARINE
WANTS YOUNG MEN
WANT MEN 18 TO 20 AND 32 TO
35 YEARS FOR SERVICE ON
MERCHANT SHIPS

I The following letter to S. L. Willis
enrolling agent for the merchant mar
inc at Moscow, is self-explanatory
The government wants more men for
this work. The greatest ship building
campaign the world has known is now
in progress and men are needed. The
age limit has been reduced and the
government is calling for men. They
can enroll with Mr. Willis at his drug
store next to the Moscow State Bank.
The letter follows:
To S. L. Willis, Enrolling Agent,
Moscow, Ida.:
This is to inform you that Edward
N. Hurley, chairman of the United
States shipping board, has today es-
tablished new age limits for men en-
tering the Merchant Marine through
the recruiting service. From now on
adventurous youths from Is to 20 in
elusive will be accepted for training
on the training ships of the shipping
board as sailors, cooks and stewards.
Men between the ages of 32 and 80
inclusive, will also be accepted for
training as sailors, cooks and stew
ards. Prior to this date all the 5000
men month accepted for training
by the shipping board and subsequent
service in merchant crews have been
within the present draft age limit of
21 to 81, but in order to draw more
lightly on men available for military
duty under present draft regulations,
the shipping board will hereafter ac-
cept men of draft age only for train
ing as firemen. New age limits for
firemen are Fl to 81 inclusive. Fire
men who have fired six months will
be given special training as oilers and
watertenders.
Mr.. Hawley states that he expects
the new age regulations to stimulate
recruiting for the Merchant Marine
service. There have been several
thousand inquiries by letters from
youths under the draft age who want
to go to sea. We are building for the
future and hope that majority of
youths under Fl to be trained by the
shipping board as sailors, cooks and
stewards will stick to the Merchant
Marine after the war is over.
The training station at Seattle con-
sisting of the shore station and the
two training ships, U. S. "Iroquois"
and the U. S. chippewa" are now in
commission and we have at the pres
ent time some 300 recruits in train
ing. Our capacity is 750 and we. urge
upon you the patriotic duty of putting
forth every effort to send US young
to be trained to man the
ships of the United States govern
ment, and in doing so you will be
assisting to win the war.
Thanking you in advance for your
patriotic cooperation, I remain,
Yours very truly,
w. j. GRAMBS,
Supervisor, Seattle Training Sta
ton, United States Shipping Board.

IDAHO WENT OVER

total subscriptions for Idaho were $l0,-

state was 81, 1909, ,366. The percentage of
subscription was 1888. The total num-
Der of subscribers was 77,1oo, or 2371
per cent of the population, based on the
census of 1910, which was 25,594.

Idaho stood sixth in the list of eight
states in the district in oversubscription.
Every county in this state oversubscrib-
ed The figures of the Idaho state COM
mittee show the total number of sub
csribers to be 1886. The discrepancy
between the state figures and the federal

due to some corporations filing only one
subscription to cover both themselves
and their employees, without specifying
the actual number of subscribers repre-
sented.
