to particular commodities. The war
conscience is active everywhere and
the food administration confidently
expects the spirit to carry this effort
thru to another triumph with Idaho
in the forefront. Germany's peace
efforts and the military situation
must not cause any relaxation in con-
servation for Mr.. Hoover states that
conservation becomes particularly
important because evacuation of oc-
cupied territory imposes upon us re-
sponsibility for additional civilian
populations
Mr.. Ho0ver's message for conserva-
tion Sunday will be distributed to the
clergy thru the county administra-
tors of the Idaho section of the

POEM WRITTEN BY JOHN DEAN

a = 10 10 b.
The following poem was write
by John Dean Of Blackfoot:
There is kaiser Bill
He has an iron will.
The Yanks they gave a poke
And then his will is broke,
And that is kaiser Bill.
He says you dirty Yanks
Quit cutting up your pranks 4.
And breaking thru our ranks.
For we are going home.
We. thought the tYanks were thin,
But they have got us on the run
With their little sawed of gun,
On towards Berlin.
When this awful war is over,
And the work tits well done,
Well return to home and mother
And say we licked the Hun.
We know we have done our duty,
And we know We have done it well.
We have got the Hun running
And we hope he will run to hell.
Now we have done our fighting,
And our money we have lent.
We will return as clean and pure
AS we were before we went.

A number Of farmeretts went out
to WoOdville last Wednesday and
picked potatoes for Fred Rice.
Not only do your, bit, but do your
best!
Antoine Christensen came nome
from the University Of Utah at Salt

stay until the university opens again

The Shelley post office may be
moved to new location in the near
future. The new location has not
been exactly decided upon as yet, and
it is sincerely hoped that it will be
for the better.

John Dick brought in an unusually
large beet to town last Saturday. The

The town was not very lively last

Washington, March Ex-senator
Tillman has introduced a bill grant

maintain and operate "a toIl-free
canal connecting the Santee and Coop
er rivers, between points at or near
Moncks Corner and Ferguson and to
construct such locks and other struc-
lures as may be necessary for the
proper operation of the canal.
The measure carries provisions that
the project shall be subject to the ap.
proval Of the chief engineers of the
army and the Secretary of War and
that 1t shall include provision for the
diverisen OF one-har for the flow of
the Santee river into Cooper river at
or near Biggins Swamp.
In consideration of the construction
ana maintenance Of the canal without
cost to the United States of tolls or
charges OF any kind, and in a manner
satisfactory to the Secretary of War.
the Tillman bill grants to the con.
structing company Or it's assigns such
rights as the United States possess. to
use the water power produced by its
SAID canal and convert the same into
electric power or other utilities. sub
Ject to the approval Of the plans and
Facilities for such utilization by the
secretary OF War and to the condition
that the proper and complete navi-
cation of the canal shall not be i'm

1t is the senator's understanding

But from the progress Of the work
as it has thus far developed, we arc
confident that it will be the means of

are completed. BY the time the last
way is finished, the vessel on the first
way will be we'll on towards compile
uon; and as soon as it has slipped into
the water, another keel will be laid
in it's place and we will thus have a
continuous series of vessels dropping
into the water from this yard at the
rate of two n week. Even greater, ton
mage will be produced at Hog Island
with it's larger number of ways and
the bigger type of vessels that are be-
ing constructed there.
There is no doubt but that we are
destined to be one of the leading ship
building nations of the world. We
will have the largest number of ship
yards, the materials and the labor and
when our shipbuilding plants are COM
pleted and are well organized on
sound business lines so as to produce
ships cheaply and rapidly, we will not
only produce sufficient ships to be-

the world by furnishing transportation
at reasonable rates thereby perform

ceal. Shipping is the essence of the
struggle in which the world is now
engaged-the central beam of the
whole war structure. If that fails, al
