and Rochester In New Orleans the
increase was so per cent. and in
Galesburg, Illinois, it reached IS per
cent. A fat wage of so cents an hour
was fixed in the Chicago case, and
overtime work was arranged at time
and half pay, thus placing the en-
ployees on the same plane as skilled
mechanics in Government industries.
Paul M. Warburg, of the Federal
Reserve Board, in a recent address
spoke of the drastic shrinkages"
that have occurred in public utility
investments, and he expresses some
alarm at the outcome. The records
show that four companies with out
standing securities aggregating
$3.50, 100000 have gone into the
hands of receivers this year. The
utilities are paying increases of from
90 to $50 per cent for fuel, from 35
to 800 per cent. for materials, and
from 40 to SO per cent. for labor.
1t is easy for the average mind to
figure out why these increases in
wages and other items of operation
occur, but it is a little slower, but
just as inevitable process to figure
out, that the five cent carfare will
have to make the same kind of an
exit that has been made by the five
cent loaf of bread and the five-cent
quart of milk. :

Fairbanks, arrived at Camp Lewis,
Tacoma, Wash, after trip of more
than 5000 miles in which he trav-
eled by dog team, blackboard, mail

of the registrar at Paxson, that all

address in Seattle. His card was sent
there, and on May % he was ordered
by the Seattle Board to report there
for duty. He asked for two-weeks'
extension because boat did not
leave Fairbanks until late in June,
but he received reply to "take the
first train or be classed as a desert

White Horse, more than 1900 miles
away.

How Our Boys Leave.

Have you noticed how the Bour-

: who leaves takes his departure in a

Conserving Paper.

If we are to have conservation of
paper supplies in the United States
as a measure of assistance to the Gov
eminent, patriotic Americans will not
complain. This is evident from the
readiness with which newspapers
have themselves advanced plans for
conservation and are accepting Gov
eminent orders for reduction of pa
per consumption, elimination of
waste, etc.
But conservation of paper to be eff
fective and fairly managed must go
beyond restrictive regulations for
newspapers or the pre- hibition of the
establishment of new dailies or
weeklies for the period Of the war.
Some check should BE- placed also on
magazines and other periodicals of

Roosevelt On Our Industries

Once in awhile Colonel Roosevelt
talks about things in way that all
agree with, whether they are parti-
sans or foes of the ex-President. Mr..
Roosevelt has recently said that Gin
our industrial activities, alike of
farmer, wage worker and business
man, our aim should be cooperation
among ourselves and control by the
State to degree necessary, in order
to prevent tyrrany and yet encour-
age and reward individual excel
lence." Colonel Roosevelt says that
government ownership should be
avoided wherever possible; our
purpose shold be to steer between
the anarchy of unregulated individ-
ualism and the deadening Journalism
and ineficiency of widespread State
ownership. From time to time it has
been found necessary for the Govern
ment to own and run certain bust
ness, the uninterrupted prosecution
of which is necessary to the public
welfare and which cannot be ade-
quately controlled in any other way,
but normally this is as inadvisable
as to permit such business concerns
to be free from all Government SUPER
vision and direction.
Normally, and save where the ne
cessity is clearly shown, our aim
should be to encourage and stimulate
private action and cooperation sub
ject to Governmental control.

Latah Road Work Planned

All but IL of the so overseers of
Latah county attended convention
called by the commissioners to dis
cuss road building. Commissioner
Woody stated that, unlike other
counties in the state, Latah would
increase rather than curtail road
improvement operations as good
roads are needed at this time more
than ever before and that it was
the object of the commissioners to
get the roads in good condition be-
fore spring farm work began and
complete any unfinished work be-
tween seed time and harvest.
Road drags will be placed in each
district and overseers will be re-
quired to see that the roads are
dragged as volunteers cannot be
depended upon.

Board Reversed Itself

The district board at Standpoint
has changed the classification of a
number of Latah county registrants
and as result many who were put
in class l have been given deferred
classification. The deferred CLASH
fications were granted principally
on agricultural grounds.
The Latah board received ia
questionaires from the district
board Saturday and these show
many changes. These are question
aires that had already been before
the board, or 80 of them had been
before the district board previously,
and had been passed on by that
board. In nearly every case the
registrants had been placed in class
l. Just what caused the change is
not known, but the board at Sand
point sent for 80 Of these question
aires that had been passed upon and
changed nearly every one of them.
A very few were changed from
class 2 to class l., but nearly all of
them were placed in deferred class
es. Many who had been placed in
class l by the district board when
it first had the questionaires, were
put back into classes and 4. 1t is
believed that 70 percent of the 80
were placed in deferred classes. All
of these were agriculturalists.

Warning To Farmers

The beginning of next week will
start National Implement Inspec-
tion and Repair week, which is a
big drive for repair orders for farm
machinery to forestaIl congestion at
harvest time. This movement is
being supported by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. agricul-
tural colleges and state councils of
defense. Farmers are urged by
all means to ascertain what repairs
will be needed during the coming
season for farming operations and
to get their orders placed with a
local dealer, thereby insuring them
selvesa gainst the certainty of having
an unavoidable delay during the
rush season, if they have failed to
order in advance. The proposition
of getting machinery parts is a
serious one and should certainly

Laborers Wanted

The department of labor which
recently called for the enrolling of
mechanics, carpenters and others
qualified for shipbuilding, is now
calling for the enrolment of all
laborers in what is to be known as
the public service reserve.
The government is now giving an
opportunity to every one to give
his services for that which he is
best qualified. Those who enroll
now may not be called for some
time, but the government desires
that they register with the local
agent, giving their address and the
kind of labor for which they are
best fitted, in order that when their
services are needed they may be
found and employed.
If you are a farm laborer the
government wants TO KNOW IL ana
know where you are. 1t may have
a place for you in some other neigh
borhood if you are out Of employ
ment now. Or it may need you
later. In the call for this registra-
tion it is explained that this is ''for
men who are not content to be by
ISLANDERS, but want to play their
part in saving the world from the
rule of brute force"
B. 7. Byrns is registration agent
for Moscow and will gladly register
any who apply at his Office on Main

Church Supper Melted $50

The church supper at the Presby.
terian church dining room was a
very satisfactory affair in every
way. The service was furnished by
number of girls dressed in the
costume of Washington's time and
the many good things which they
placed before their hungry guests
were a delightful change from the
everyday, humdrum Hoover meals.
The sum of $50 was cleared from
the sale of supper tickets.
The new dining room of the
church proved to be great conven-
ience as the arrangement lessons
the work Of preparing dinner such
as the one given Friday night. 1t
also gives the church certain
amount of independence in the way
of church social functions.

have put the war principles of 'let
the women do the work" into prac.
tice.. They painted the interior of
the dining room and did it well,

Increase Maximum Weight

As a means of stimulating the
movement of farm products from
the producer direct to the consum-
er, Postmaster General Burleson
has increased the allowable weight
of parcels post packages effective
March Is.
Packages when mailed in the first
zone for delivery in the first, second
or third zones, may be as heavy as
70 pounds. They are now restrict
ed to so pounds.
The weight limit for all other
zones has been increased from 20
to so pounds.
This is planned to help the farm
ers to reach the markets with their
products and save the middle
mems" profit. A farmer can send
a package weighing 70 pounds to
any postoffice within 800 miles of
his farm and a package of SO
pounds to any place in the United
States. The same rates and weights
apply to every one, but the change
was made principally to help the
farmers to reach distant markets
with the products.
