AUTOMOBILE MAKERS
 MUST WORK FOR WAR.
Must Have Their Plants at Full Ca
 paeity for Government by 1919.

Washington Aug. 9.-Manufacturers of passenger automobiles were advised by the war industries board to get on 100 per cent. war work for their plants before Jan. l, 1919. In letter addressed to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, responding to it's proposal for a voluntary 50 per cent. curtailment of passenger car production, the board says the manu- facturers can be sure of continuing their industry and preserving their organizations only by converting to war orders.
 No Automobile Material.
 The war industries board declared that the present situation regarding steel and other materials needed for war work gave little assurance of ma terial required for the manufacture of passenger automobiles, even after pro- viding for war requirements.
 Pending receipt by the board of sworn inventories of materials on hand requested last July 16, no ma | terials will be permitted passenger car manufacturers, the letter states.

W. B. Aver, Federal Food Admins
traitor for oregon, earnestly directs
attention to some excerpts from a re-
cent official summary, at the end OF
its first years work. OF the United
States Food Administrators aims
methods and results. These excerpts
are given below:
when the U. 8. Food Administra-
ton undertook the work Of conserving
and mobilizing Americas food re-
sources. there we're three methods OF
approach possible in handling the
problem, these methods Of control be-
ing rationing, high prices and volun'
tary effort. .."....
The Three Systems.
"The introduction Of rationins into
this country would have resulted IN
an inevitable reaction. II would also
mean a tremendous expenditure. ON
the basis OF the rationing system
adopted by European countries for
certain staple foods, II would require
$4,000 900 q year for the printing OF
the necessary ration cards; II would
demand one official for every 1000
families TO take care OF distribution
under this system; In fact, on the
European basis, about s46,oOo,oo0 q
year would be required TO administer
the rationing system in this country.
Control OF consumption by high
prices was obviously too unfair TO
merit consideration in such q country
as ours, meaning az II must, conserva'
ton for the rich at the expense OF the
poor.
"The voluntary system. based upon
education and publicity (the third al.

the moderate expense involved. and
because Of the opportunity 1t afforded

leans TO serve their country.
Results Enormous.
"The results OF the voluntary control
of food lave been enormous. The sur.

on normal consumption. would have
been 10000 900 bushels. II the present
rate Of saving by the American people

IT'S A GOOD SYSTEM

1t costs the farmer more to raise
wheat and he will have higher
taxes to pay, but his position this
year is nevertheless quite satisfac-
tory. He can hardly fail to make
a good profit on wheat at the gov
ernment price. He gets his money
for his wheat so soon as it is
hauled, if he wants to accept the
local dealers grade. He doesn't
have to spend sleepless nights in
wondering whether the market will
20 up or down. for he knows it can
do neither. He likewise knows that
no silk-hatted, portly exporter who
has never touched hand to plow will
make more money on his wheat
crop than he does himself. In
brief, nobody has chance to gam
Bile. which is a good thing from
both a moral and financial stand
point. Incidentally, the nations

The farmer promptly pays the local

rowNLErs IDAHO NEMESIS

Edward T. Barber edits and
prints The ShoShone Journal, and is
little man with a big idea. The
idea has TO do with one A. c. Town
ley. Barber was among the first
editors in the United States to
camp on the trail of this Townley
person, and he has accumulated a
mass of evidence to prove that
TownIey is a German agent. He
Eliminates against Townley in ev-
cry issue of the Journal, and his
editorials arc widely quoted.
Southern Idaho has been a hot-bed
Of Townley propaganda, and some
of that shrewd organizers mistaken
followers have been nightly wroth
at the little Journal man. One
burly farmer dropped into the office
one day to beat Barber up, and had
Just she'd his coat when he looked
into a convincing argument. This
argument had a hole in it, but the
hole constituted its most persuasive
feature. The angry farmer was
promptly subdued, if not mollifed.
We quote from a recent Journal
editorial in order to give our read
ers an idea of Barber's style:
THE Journal harps on the Nom
partisan league until am getting
tired of it." Well, the boys at the
front are also tired of their contin-
ual hardships and inconvenience.
They would like to rest awhile, but
their rest is up to the Kaiser. So
the Kaiser is working here in
America, here in Idaho-yes, right
here in Shoshone-harder than he
ever did. For the Kaiser sees the
time not far ahead when peace
must come. He wants the most
favorable peace possible. He paid
DR.. Rumley as editor of the New
York Evening Mail, and through
him he paid Townley, and through
him he paid Roy McKaig and
Scholtz and all the host of league
organizers and orators down to the
little two-by-four fellows who buzz
at our ears like German mosquitoes
to work for a German peace. 1t is
the business of the Journal to tell
you of these things and to keep on
telling them until the danger has
been averted. The danger is great
er now than ever. Do not permit
your love of ease to dull your per-
ception. When the Kaiser can get
a crowd of loyal American citizens
together as he is doing all over
Idaho to listen approvingly to the
insidious poison poured into their
ears by Scholtz and McKaig and
their tribe of Kaiserites. it is no
time to get tired of opposing such
activities. The Journal is tired of
it, too, but its editor would rather
be called a crank and crazy old
man than to lie down and let the
Kaiser trample all over this coun-
try and lay plans to stab our soldier
boys in the back, while shouting
