school board?

school board?
Perhaps we are unjust in presuming
that the Times has an axe to grind
for itself or some of its friends and
we presume it must have a few. But
If we are wrong how shall we answer
the question being so generally asked d?
Apparently in the opinion OF the editor
of the Times there are no honest or
efficient public servants in Boomers
Ferry for according to his insinuations
in the past months the sewer COM
mission, the town board and the school
trustees are all wrong. Let the Times
play fair, play no favorites, hew to the
line whether friend or foe, if it would
assume the role of the "muckraker".

Nearly every county in
Idaho is now organizing a
Liberty Chorus and through
the Boundary County Defense
Council, Mrs. G. H. Wilbur
has been asked to organize

practicing patriotic songs to
be sung at public gatherings.
Mrs. Wilbur is anxious to

Fippodrome Girls Will Sacrifice
Luxuries for War Savings Stamps

Another silent revolution took place
yesterday. The fair members OF the
ballet and chorus at the Hippodrome
resolved to become thrifty and save
their money. They agreed to forego
the luxuries which have been annihilat-
ing their savings. and decided to lend
their spare pennies to Uncle Sam for
his war against Kaiserlsm.
Hereafter when these young women
take part in patriotic ensembles and
wear the nations colors they will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
they are just as loyal to America as
they seem to those on the other side
of the footlights. Yesterday they
formed the Hippodrome Ballet and

LONDON, Feb. IS. Great Britain

OF these essentials America can send is
worth more than gold. This nation
needs the bare necessaries of life and

Lord Rhondda's assistant "is having a

authorities assure nc there is an acute
shortage Of meat. Unless supplies
rapidly increase the Food Controller
Will have -difFiculty IN furnishing the
small quantity called for under the
ratlonng system, which was put in
operation this week.
1t is considered likely it will be nee
essary to introduce compulsory bread
rations this spring. The shortage of
meat has caused an unprecedented run
on fish and supplies arc totally made
Quate.
Great Britain has begun to feel the
economic pinch, but whether it leads
to real suffering depends almost en-
tirely on the speed with which Amer
ica ships essentials. The breakdown of
American transportation in January
set back Great Britain a month. What
that means it is difficult to appreciate,
unless the announcement is made of
the size of the food reserve in this
country.
Acute Meat Shortage
In addition to several large ship
ments of meat and bacon lost through
u-boat attacks, domestic cattle are in
the poorest condition in mid-winter,
and it was considered wise to delay
their slaughter until they could fatten
in the spring.

Scandinavian countries, generally
among the biggest exporters to Great
Britain, fell off badly following the
American embargo. These various diff

Commission, was about to retire Mr.

eral OF New York, and was assigned to
his present post by Attorney General
Lewis. The Federal and the state food
commissions have been working jointly.
Arthur Williams, Federal food ad-
ministrator, denied last night that Mr.
Robinson had offered his resignation.
Mr.. Robinson himself had nothing to
say, but it was stated that he soon
would be transferred to duty in con-
nection with German spy hunting.
Others Threaten to Quit
Several times lately various depart
mental heads Of the Federal organiza-
ton have threatened to resign. Once
or twice the resignations are said to
have actually been placed in the hands
of Mr. Williams. More recently fric-
ton. it is reported, has been developed
by conflict of opinion regarding the
handling of the cases of protitcers.
Some of the board officials favor pub
licity as the best means Of checking
trade abuses, while others insist on abb

Drastic Bread Ration

PHILADELPHIA, Feb 2S.-No more

Jay Cooke. local Food Administrator,
announced to-day. This new food ra-
ton, made absolutely necessary if a
bread famine is to be avoided in the
next four months, is reduction by a
pound from that announced by Mr..
Cooke earlier IN the week
The wheat situation is becoming so

ficulSies combined to produce an acute
bacon shortage.
Moreover, the usual supplies Of but
ter and margarine dropped sharply and
the country was without a sufficient
quantity Of fats. Manual workers, ac-
customed to a liberal allowance of
meat, feel acutcly the reduction in
ratlons, and this is reflected in the
work OF the factories and other plants.
Not the shortage OF tonnage, but
American railway difficulties. are CON
siderod chiefly responsible fer the pres
ont situation.
There is objcct.on to tho shipment Of
corn that is not thoroughly dry and is
likely to arrive in bad condition.
The reason compulsory bread rations
have not already been introduced is be-
cause the upper and middle classes have
voluntarily rationei themselves, while
the laboring classes are not using moro
than is essential to their needs.
Navy Takes Trawlcrs
Much fish is offered from America,
but the difficulties Of shipment serve as
a bar. Practically so per cent Of the
fishermen and 90 per cent Of the trawl-

in the British economic problem.
George Barnes, a member OF the War
Cabinet. said in Parliament last night:
Last month, instead Of certain
number Of ships being turned out from
the shipyards Of this country, we had
less than half of the estimate actually
turned out. This month, so far as l
am able to ascertain, will be no better.
America is failing us, so far as ships
are concerned. SO it is a serious mat
ter. Shipyards are even more impor-
tant than muniton ships. Winning
this war depends on the output Of
ships, and we will have to turn out
ships in far larger numbers than we
have turned them out so far, if we are
to get through the trouble of the next
few months"
The card system of distribution of
butter, margarine, meat and sugar,
which was extended tc the whole of the
British Isles March 25, is working we'll
in London, where it was introduced
Monday. But it has not begun to solve
the problem. Distribution depends en-
tirely on supply and America is the

ALBANY. Feb. Is. Governor Whit
man and representatives OF the farmers
of the state talked things over to day,
despite the attempt of some of the
Democrats and anti-W Whitman Rcpub-
Leans to prevent their meeting.
The Governor told the farmers that
they need but send in .hc names of
their candidates for the Farms and
Markets Council and he would appoint
tfem. The Governor said, however,
that he did not believe the entire
membership Of the council should be
made up of farmers. All the people, he
said, should be represented.
The Governor told the farmers that
there was no truth in statements circu-
lated among them that he had played
politics with the Farms and Markets
Council. These charges were embodied
in resolutions adopted at various meet
ings OF farmers recently.
Calls for Suggestions
Il want you gentlemen to give me
any suggestions you have with refer
ence to these appointments; they
should be made very soon, and if you,
after you have returned to your homes
and after taking the matter UP with
the different societies which you rep-
resent, will submit any suggestions or
anything that will be helpful I shall
be glad to do what | can" said the
Governor.
There is split among the farmers
over the Governors offer Some of
them are for accepting it. The Demo-
Gratis among them are lined up with
the anti-Whitman Republicans and in
sist on carrying out the original pro-
gram of the agricultural societies.
which would have none but farmers on
the Farms and Markets Council Some
or them even want the Farms and Mar
kets Council abolished.
Confer With Leaders
Before going to see the Governor the
farmers conferred with their leaders
at the Ten EycG. They could not agree
on the question of submitting names.
as some OF the Whitman men among
them suggested that they do. John J.
Dillon. Democrat, formerly State Food
and Markets Commissioner and an op-
ponent of the Governor; Seth J. T.
Bush, president of the Western New
York Horticultural Society, and S. j.
Lowell, master OF the State Grange, led
the opposition. The Whitman forces
were marshalIed by Fred Boshart, pres
ldent OF the State Agricultural Society;
+. NJ. Godfrey, former master of the
State Grange, and L. J. Brockway, of
the State Breeders Association.
The Governor said, in answer to q
question, that he would appoint the
new council within the next week.
