any definite satisfaction. Finally he
took the matter up with Senator Nugent
and other members of the congressional
delegation. Senator Nugent asked the
ouartermaster generals department to
act. It's reply was evasive. He then
set forth the request of Idaho with re-
gard to the sale of its surplus produce
to the government in concrete form.
He requested a plain answer. The re-
suit was that shortly afterward a reply
came stating the quartermaster' de-
partment would contract for Idaho hay
through the various county farm
bureaus. This is the first time in the
history of the state such action had
been authorized. 1t is important to
the hay growers. Later is is hoped in

OBJECTIONS FILED TO PROPOSED
APPEARANCE OF LEAGUE

INDICTED AS DISLOYALTY
Fear Presence of on-Partisan Chief
in Boise May Cause Disturbance
That Wouldn't Be Pleasant

The record of A. G. Townley, presi
dent of the Non-partisan league, which
organization is at work in Idaho, is to
be investigated by the executive com
mittee of the State Council of Defense,
at Boise. Townley is billed to speak in
Boise during the state convention of the
Non-partisan league, to be held July 3
and 4.
Since the announcement was made
that Townley would make a second
appearance in Idaho complaints have
been heard with regard to the advis-
ability of permitting him to speak.
They were taken to the governor, to
the chairman of the Ada County Coun-
ell of Defense and later to Z. A. Bryan,
chairman of the state council, with the
request that the executive committee be
called together to consider the matter.
The fact that Townley is now under
indictment for alleged disloyal utter
ances made in the state of Minnesota;
that utterance of Townley regarding
the objects the United States is fight
ing for and why American boys have
been sent to the front, also alleged to
be reasonable, and which have never
been retracted; that many Idahoans
now have sons in the front who re-
sent such statements, and that it
might be to the best interest of the
peace of the state that the league lead
er did not make a personal appear
ance, were some of the main reasons
why the executive committee of the
state council took cognizance of the
natter.

Telegram From Nugent.

The following telegram was received
from Senator Nugent:
Washington, d. c., June 20, 1918.
"Hon. Harvey Alfred, director farm
markets bureau:
Have just been advised by quar-
termaster general that chief of forage
branch, Chicago, has been instructed
to buy hay from county farm bureaus
in Idaho. Shall continue my efforts to
have government purchase certain other
farm produce through your department
or county farm bureaus"
The announcement as made in the
above telegram accomplishes one of
the objects Director Alfred has been
working on for months. He urged last
year that the government arrange to
take Idaho's hay. The quarermaster
department sent agents into this state
who did buy something like 5000 car
loads The buying was done indepen-
IDENTIFY, however. He also urged that
the government arrange to contract for
Idaho's surplus oats, beans, onions and
other products.

THE DOCTOR AWAY FROM HOME
WHEN MOST NEEDED.

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they most
need his services. Disease like pain in
the stomach and bowels, collie and
diarrhoea require prompt treatment, and
have in many instances proven fatal
before medicine could be procured or a
physician summoned. The right way is
to keep at hand a bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie and Diarahoea Remedy.
No physician can prescribe better
for these diseases. By having
it in the house you escape much pain
and suffering and all risk. But it now;
it may save life.
