DISABLED SOLDIERS IN
INDUSTRY.

The Federal Board for Vocational
Education. assisted by the United
States Employment Service. proposes
to make a real job out of the task
OF placing disabled soldiers and sail
ors in industrial employment.
For a long time England permitted
volma;ocr associations to find jobs
for the discharged solGfers. and the
plan proved an absolute failure. Too
many employers offered to take the
boys in and give them jobs on the
assumption that Il was their patri-
otic duty to help the disabled. 1t
didn't work, Then England made a
government affalr OF employment and
found places fer their disabled sol
diers and sailors where the employer
could c-cerfully write "for value re-
ceivod" across the mans pay envc-
lope.
The American Government is fol-
lowing the latter course; and 1t is
training soldiers for industrial en-
ployment, spending six months OF
more on each man. When he is pre-
pared for employment a place Is
found and he is sent out to earn his
living in way that make" him abso
lutely independent; and the proposi
ton balances dollar for dollar be
sween employer and employee. The
motto 10 Uncle Sam IN this task Il
l''no sentiment" The operation o
the whole plan is made absolutei.
practical; since the disabled MAJ
when turned into Industry has beer
evolved from the soldier into rea
economic facNor in the Industrial liz
of his country.

DIGGING GOAL FOR PERsHING.

One day last winter, when the coal
famine was at its worst, a Senator
from Ohio recited the blundcrs by
reason of which the great coal pro-
ducing state was deprived of even
enough fuel to keep its University
open and it's people from freezing. A
visitor in the gallery remarked: Il
wish that senator would stop talking;
he is breaking my heart" Out in
Ohio this year they are no longer
breaking hearts; but they are pro-
ducing coal. Production Manager
J. ]. Roby, of Cleveland. calls atten-
ton in a statement to the fact that
General Pershing demands 100000
tons more a month than Washington
figured on. "All right" says Roby,
well come through with our part,
and we are now going $4,000 tons a
week over our share. and we will
make it $1,000 TONS" That's the
kind of a response that is coming
from every portion of the country.
and the fuel administration is conf
dent that 1t will have enough coal
for Pershing and all the rest of our
fighting military and Industrial fore
es this winter.

YANKEES LIKE BEANS.

Consumption of beans by the
United States army averages 62h
tons a day. Dried beans are a popu-
lar dish among Uncle Sans soldiers
and they receive the best that can
be furnished Beans have a high
value as food and are especially suit
able for men under intensive train
ing, experts of the war department
have found.
All the beans required by the
United States and the allies for the
coming year will be obtained through
one purchaser. the food administra-
tion grain corporation, which has
made arrangements to inspect and
pay cash for beans in the producir g
fields. This will eliminate delav IN
payments and insure the purchase Of
beans at a lower figure.

FAVOR ARMY BEEF CHANGES.

The recent announcement of the
Government policy of buying beef
for the fighting forces Of Uncle Sam
nd the Lilies on q quality basis has
met the approval of cattle feeders.
With quality, irrespective of weight,
as a basis feeders can make 4 quick
turnover on their money invested in
cattle. They can market well-finish-
ed and conditioned beeves which
weigh less than 1000 pounds for
Army or Navy disposition. 1t is be-
lieved the regulation will stabilize
production and better balance the
livestock industry. The abandon
ment of the old schedule which coll-
ed for beef of npecific weights drops
the bars so that hereafter lightweight
baby beef will be available for feed
ing our soldiers and sailors. The
new ruling favors the increase in
the production CT baby beeves, q
branch of meat making which affords
an attractive opportunity for de
pendable and quick profit to the
producers.

WOMEN AND GREASY JOBS.

There is on file in the Employ
ment Service of the Government a
list of more than $50 distinct occu-
pations women are filling in indus
try. They are learning to read blue
prints as we'll as dress patterns. and
to handle hammers without losing
the iron nails or those on their fing-
ers. The munition factories are full
OF such women and they have demon
strated in this last year or two that
there is nothing unwomanly about
the woman in overalls working at so
called dirty. greasy jobs.

AN EFFICIENT TICKET.

1t behooves every loyal Democrat
to vote the Democratic ticket on
November 5th, and by doing so he
stands squarely behind the Presi-
dent in all war policies advocated
by our chief executive. Last week
the News said that all persons who
are opposed to Socialism or Bolshev-
ikism should vote the republican
ticket. On the other hand the News
truly Gays that the county ticket is
controlled by the Democratic party,
and that being the case what reason
has the News to say 100 per cent 10y
al Americans should vote the Repub-
lican ticket? There is no difference
in the brand of Democracy or in the
stand which the candidates on the
Democratic ticket have taken in for
mer elections, but the News seems to
be trying to make an issue out of
this. II so, let the News come out
and say what Democratic candidates
are not 100 per cent loyal, and If 1t
can single out any person upon the
Democratic ticket who cannot stand
the loyalty test, then We are willing
TO concede that he should not be
voted for or elected to office. Until
this is done. we are appealing to all
Democratic voters to stand squarely
behind the Democratic ticket and not
be influenced or biased by what a
few Republican party leaders may
say inspired more by their wishes
for the success OF the Republican
party. AS the Democrats need no
100 per cent loyalty clubs, every
Democrat being a patriotic citizen
and desiring to do their duty at this
time. the Democratic ticket is safe

REDUCTION IN FREIGHT
RATES TO BE ASKED.
Believed That at Least $40 a Ton

At the hay growers meeting,
which was held at Shoshone, Octo-
Der 26th, it was decided to ask for a
reduction of freight rates on hay.
A committee was appointed to attend
to this matter and also to get in
touch with the farmers and dairy
men of northern Idaho and eastern
Washington, where the hay situa-
tion is acute. County Agent Avery
will go to the above mentioned sec
tions to personally investigate the
hay problems. 1t is believed that at
least $40 ton, +. o. b., will be rea-
lized
All having hay for sale are re-
quested to report the number of
tons, section. range, etc, where it is
located to Albert Hawkinson, Jerome.

BOYD X. FRAZER PASSES
AWAY AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS
i ~
Well Known. Young Man succumbs
to Pneumonia.

Wednesday morning the whole
community was grieved when 1t was
learned that Boyd Frazer, son of r.
s. Frazer, had passed to the Great
Beyond after a brief illness.
Boyd Frazer was reared in Je-
rome and reached his nineteenth
birthday the 10th day OF last Sep
tember. On October 18th, the
young man was inducted into the
Students Army Training Corps and
left that day for training. He had
been at the school but three days
when he was taken Ill and was con-
fined to a hospital for ten days. He
tnen came home and arrived here
Sunday. From Sunday until the end
the young man declined and. al
though the fondest care and aid that
could be given, he passed to his re-
ward at o'clock Wednesday morn
ing.
Boyd was a young man who took
part in all athletics at school. was a
general favorite with the younger
set and all who knew him, and his
friendly smile and happy greeting
will be sorely missed by his com
rades and friends. The deepest
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to TUncle Bob" Frazer. and
Starret. father and brother OF the
| young man. Starret is serving with
| the Marines overseas.
The funeral was held from the
fhome this afternoon and interment
|took place at Jerome cemetery, where
the remains were tenderly laid tc
Irest beside his mother. who passed
to the better world some time ago

TO PAY 412
A TON FOR SUGAR BEETS
Price This Year Induced Farmers to
Increase Beet Acreage.

1t has been learned that the gov
ernment Is to pay $12 per ton for
sugar beets next year. The price
of $40, which was paid for beets
this year induced farmers over the
tract to increase the acreage plant
ed to beets and the new price named
by the government will doubtless en-
courage more farmers to increase
the number of acres planted to beets.
Sugar is something that everyone
must have, especially the soldier in
the field becausecthe boy smust nee
essarily have it on account Of the
healing properties OF the sugar. 1t
therefore behooves every farmer to
raise all the beets that is possible,
not only for the profit that is in
them, but because of the patriotic
duty that is performed.

VOLUNTEERS CALLED FOR.

The local Red Cross Chapter again
issues an urgent call for volunteer
nurses to aid in the present influenza
epidemic. Mrs. Piper is receiving
call after call from people who need
someone to come in and help them
for two or three days during the sud
den illness OF some member OF the
family. and as these calls are likely
to continue and become more numer-
Gus she is very anxious to get In
touch with those who can serve In
this way. All who feel that they
can help the work or the Red Cross
to this extent are most earnestly re-
ouested to register with Mrs. Piper.
