Anchorage is making an efort to have the trail between that city and Nenana properly staked with guide posts so that parties desiring to come to the coast by that route can find their way. Just why any party starting from the Interior should come by the Broad Pass Route is impossible to say as it takes nearly a week longer to reach salt water than by the Fairbanks Valdez route and costs the traveller moro money to get to the States by that exit. Comfortable road houses at interYals of few miles on g well traveled road may be found on the Valdez trail, and hotel bills and expenses are less after one reaches tidewater.

gton.-Determination Of ma
tional policy governing meat produc-
ton, sale and distribution during the
war, which may include virtual price
fixing and definite control or actual
federal operation OF the big packing
houses, has been intrusted by Presi-
dent Wilson to a special commission OF
five prominent government officials.
This step, announced Sunday, was
taken at the recommendation Of Food
Administrator Hoover, who advised the
president that he found himself power
less to protect properly oil branches of
the cattle industry, and that the gov
ernments present course is almost in
tolerable in criticism from both pro-
ducer and consumer" Mr.. Hoover
asked that power be extended to meet
the policy initiated in steel, copper and
other commodities which are sold at
prices fixed on the basis of conferences
between producers and the govern
nent.

HALT MEATLEss DAYS A MONTH
Oversupply Of Livestock Forces Lifting
of Rule.

Washington Food Administrator
Hoover-has announced complete sus-
pension of meatless days for period
of thirty days.
Announcing the suspension of the
meatless days, Mr.. Hoover issued the
following statement:
II am asking the state administra-
tors to suspend the meatess days for
the next thirty days because of a very
much over normal run to market of
hogs due to supplies held back during
the winter months. Car shortage still
continues and seems likely to go on
for another thirty days. After this pc
rid the seasonal shortage in marketing
will set in.
ut is matter of regret that the ex-
tent of our domestic storage capacity,
the limited oversea and inland trans
portation and port facilities do not per-
nit of saving and giving the whole of
this temporary and abnormal surplus
to the allies for use when this heavy
killing season has passed.
ION the other hand the larger and
cheaper supplies or potatoes ana tne
larger supplies of milk, together with
these further relaxed restrictions on
meat, SO that some portion is available
each day, should facilitate the enlarged
saving of breadstuffs of which we are
so much deficient in allied needs.
81 am confident that this holiday
will not be taken advantage Of by the
producers to ask more than fair price
and fair profit. and that the packers
and retailers will have sense enough
to realize that this is not to be holi-
day of high prices.
"Nor should the consumer take this
announcement as in any way depart
ure from the general principles of con-
servation of all foods which the food
administration breaches. The need OF
food on the other side is greater than
ever-the need OF economy in America
is greater than ever"

for such use as they see fit to make
OF them. American troops may soon
be fighting side by side with their Brit
ish and French allies In the battle
which Is raging in northern France.
1t is enough to say that great ac-
tivity of many sorts is in progress in
the entire American zone. Miles OF
motor trucks, loaded with Americans,
have passed through the towns, some
going in one direction, some In an
other. Through a driving rain the
motor trucks plowed their way along
muddy roads, the Americans singing.
Many of the trucks had American
flags fastened to their tail boards.
On other roads mile after mile OF
marching Americans splashed through
the mud, which came over their
ankles. The horses were steaming
from the work they had to do. All the
men are working as hard as possible.
1t is. not violation of the censorship
to say that probably 100000 or more
American fighting men, fully equipped
and intensively trained in the school
of actual battle conditions, are avail.
able at once to be thrown into places
to strengthen the British and French
lines wherever they threaten to buckle

A Stand for Unity and Free
Institutions

The following resolution was un-
animously adopted at meeting of
farmers held in Oakley, March 80,
Resolved. That we. as citizens of the
United States, residing in Southern
Idaho, do not give countenance to
nnr approve of the formation Of or
panizations such as the Farmers
Non Partisan League and kindred
associations, which rapidly develops
socialistic if not more serious tend
encies. We believe that while our
nation is egnaged in the present
world war for the freedom of man
kind. that democracy may not perish
from the earth, that the citizens of
the United States should avoid ad-
venturous departures from old line
parties and systems of government; !;
standing loyalty and unitedly behind
the Administration. advancing no
schemes and tolerating no combin-
ations which may tend in the least
degree to bring discord among the
people or result in dissatisfaction and
defeat" " Representatives from Twin
Falls and Cassia Counties were in at.
tendance. 1t WAS stated that the or
ganization in question has had organ
izers among the former class of citiz-
ems. who have urged the joining ot
the League and have extaacted SIG
from e,ch member for the privilege
of voting for certain men at the
next election.
