Unfortunately the straight business street has not the
advantages Of winding thoroughfare for the con-

FLOUR MILLS SUPPLY
THE FIGHTERS FIRST
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LEVIES
TRIBUTE OF 80 PER CENT
ON ALL PLANTS

The United States food administra-
ton has sent out notice to every mill
that in order to supply the needs OF
the army and the navy, and the export
trade to the nations associated in the
war with the United States, the food
administration desires to buy from
every mill not to exceed 80 per cent
of it's output.
Bids shall be made in the usual man.
ner for army and navy requirements,
and where awards are made to mills
on such bids, such awards will be ap-
piled as a part Of the 80 per cent re-
quired by the food administration.
Notice will be sent to each mill at
least two weeks in advance of the per-
centage of output which the food ad-
ministration desires to obtain from
them for a subsequent period of 80
days. The food administration will
retain at all times out of the flour pur-
chased a reserve stock and will ship
flour to any point where the local
supply might be short
This measure is not taken with the
view of diminishing supplies to the
market, but is to fundamentally furth-
er adequate handling of transportation
in respect to army, navy, and export
requirements, and regular supply
Of flour for the associates in the war
Of the United States at favorable load
ing points, and more regular flow OF
the commodity and to prevent con-
gestion and inequalities in stocks OF
flour owing to transport difficulties.

c. A. WORK

DR.. j. G. Eldridge, dean of the uni
versity faculty, whose decision to en-
ter actively upon the work of the
army Y. M. G. A. in France was an
nounced at a university assembly held
in November, is to leave for New York
early next week. He goes in re-
sponse to a call received today from
Harrison Elliott, overseas secretary
of the bureau of personnel of the Y. M.
C. A. war work council.
The appointment committee of the
war council had at first decided ad-
versely on overseas service for Dean
Eldridge because of his heavy family
responsibilities, but reconsidered upon
pressing his willingness to enter upon
the active work.
The message sent today by Harri-
son Elliott advised Dean Eldridge that
everything seems favorable to his
appointment" and urged that he come
prepared to sail at once. The dean
would have gone Immediately upon re-
ceipt of the telegram had it not been
for the fact that President Lindley is
in southern Idaho and the present
probabilities are that he will leave be-
fore the middle of the coming week.

new SENATOR. WILL
SERVE SHORT TIME
ATTORNEY GENERAL WALTERS
GIVES RULING ON THE
VACANCY LAW

BOISE-The appointment to be
made by Goveronr Alexander to the
United States senate, to fill the va
cancy caused by the death Of James
H. Brady, only holds good to the next
general election and is not for the
unexpired period of the term of the
deceased, which would carry the ap-
pointee over to March 3, 1921.
This is the ruling of Attorney Gen
eral T. A. Walters. Following the
death of Senator Brady, Governor
Alexander wrote the attorney general
asking for his construction of the
emergency law empowering him to fill
the vacancy and as passed by the last
legislature. The governor felt the law
is a little ambiguous.
No official action has been taken by
Governor Alexander towards appoint
ting the successor of the late Senator
Brady. Petitions and telegrams from
the friends of the several prominent
Democrats mentioned, including
James H. Hawley, John F. Nugent,
Harry L. Day and others, are pouring
into the governors office. Many Of
these petitions have been circulated
by friends of the various candidates,
for they bear the same names and are
signed as petitions usually are.

that President Wilson, without pre-
