least four times as much electric power
as if burned in the average small plant,
and If centralized burning could be in
troduced to a greater extent the
amount of fuel required could be large
~ reduced without reducing in any
way the ultimate production of light
and power.
Economy in Central Service
1T may be generally stated that in
pulldlng where electric plants are 10
Gated and where exhaust steam from
engines is utilized in the heating of the
building, furnishing hot water require
ments and possibly providing a very
small amount of steam for industrial
and other processes, such build
ing can readily adopt central station
service without loss of money and at
a large percentage of saving in fuel.
1T is the duty of the fuel admins
tratlon to devise means for securing a
curtallment in the use of fuel in ways

snip. 1t is believed that there are many
plants, not only in New York, but
throughout the entire country, which
could, at least temporarily, shut down
1heir own electrical machinery and pur-
chase power from others at financial
advantage to both parties and with a
considerable saving in fuel.
Ihe whole question comes to this
point: There is just so much fuel to 60
around. There is just so much trans
portatlon equipment to convey this
luel, and again, as stated above, the
question is the best means of utilizing
the fuel with respect to all users. Thus
there has been under consideration the
question OF curtaiment of certain
classes of industry. Such curtalment
mas been effected in other countries at
war, one OF the prime objects having
been the saving of coal. The neighbor
OF some Office building Owner may be
the owner of a manufacturing plant.
the curtailment Of whose product is
under serious consideration in order to
save fuel. The question may be at
issue as to whether it is advisable and
how far it is advisable to curtail the
output or such factory on one hand, and,
on the other, whether it is advisable to
ask the Office building owner to obtain
his power requirements from central
station. The coal saving in one case
may be equally as great as in the other.
but the saving can be made with great
er ease IN the case of the office build
ing than in the case of the factory.
Examples of Economy
lmportant steps on a large scale
have been made in different sections
OF this country as regards tying in of
power lines. Practically all of the lines
OF California are connected at the pres
ent time. This is also true in North

stances where towns containing both

War Patterns Burned

ELIZABETH, N. j., March 10.-Hun-
dreds of dollars worth of patterns, said
to have been owned by the United
States government, were burned in a
fire which to-day destroyed the one

is not known.
The pattern shop was located not far
from the main building of the concern,

Must Give Up Wheat

The survey of wheat, wheat flour
and sugar has been almost compiet-
ed in Nez Perce county. The food
administrator now announces that
anyone having in his possession in i
excess of the amount allowed, any
of these staple foods that have not I
been reported to the food admins 4
traitor, should attend to the matter
at once. 1t is up to each individual
to get this information reported in.
All wheat that is held in any stor-
age place or on any of the farms in
Nez Perce county in excess of what
is absolutely necessary for use as
seed will be requisitioned by the
government on or after May l5, in
accordance with an order received
from R. F. Bicknell. state food ad-
ministrator. Pursuant to Mr..
Bicknell's request call was issued
ten { ays ago calling upon the farm
ers and others to bring their wheat
tu market not later than May Is,
except what was necessary to re-
tain for seeding purposes.
Anyone holding their grain in
the expectation of receiving high
er price is doomed to disappoint-
ment, since any higher price that
might be established hereafter will
not affect any present holdings.
Only detriment to the government
can result from holding grain be-
yond the time limit of May Is and
no benefit whatever can accrue to
the holder.

Dr.. Brown Here May z

DR.. H. H. Brown, Of the Bureau
of Chemistry Of the U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture, has just COM
pleted series of very interesting
lectures on grain dust or smut ex-
plosions in South Idaho. Every
where DR.. Browns talks were lis
tened to with eager interest. He
speaks from wide experience and
brings his message in a forceful
manner. For his demonstrations
he uses motion pictures, lantern
slides and miniature dust explosions.
Ordinary smut or corn -four readily
explodes when blown thru the air
in the presence of an open fame.
There is no room for doubt that
dusts of many kinds easily explode
under proper conditions.
Along with his demonstrations
DR.. Brown shows the working of
effective preventatives and precau-
tionary measures. Nearly one hun
dred threshing machines blow up in
the Northwest every season. Most
of these could be saved if proper
precautions are taken. The same
holds true of elevator and mill ex
plosions.
We are glad to announce DR. Brown
\ will give his address in Kendricl
May Z, 1918. All persons interest
ed in elevators, mills. threshine
machines or the storage of grail
generally cannot afford to miss thi
lecture. The University Extension
Service (Boise) is cooperating will

Queen Esther Wienie Roast

The members of the Queen Es-

little hike last Saturday afternoon
They met at the home of Miss Mary
Bunger at five o'clock in the eve
ming and from there adjourned to
the cold springs.
Here some members employed
themselves in carrying wood and
building the fire, while others lay
around on the grass and told stories.
At about six-thirty O'Clock all
members returned and the roast be-
gan. After the supply of wienies
was exhausted, marshmallows were
produced but they soon disappeared
too. Nothing could last long
among such bunch. After all the
"eats" were gone they sat around
and played games till after eight
o'clock and then started home
They all looked like they had had &
good time and we are very sure
they did.-One of Them.

Food For Soldiers Inspected

The Quartermaster Corps, charg-
ed with the responsibility of feed
ing and clothing the soldiers, is
rigidly inspecting the food purchas-
ed for the troops to see that only
pure articles are supplied. AS an
indication of the amount Of food
that must be obtained, says state
ment authorized by the Quarter
master General. 1.50O.O0O men con-
sumo daily 100000 pounds of
beef, 225,OOO pounds of bacon,
100000 pounds of ham. 135,OO0
cans of tomatoes, and 225, 900 cans
of jam-with other articles aggre-
eating 6,75O,OO0 pounds.
These quantities of foodstuffs are
subjected to thorough inspection,
which begins at the source and con-
tinues until the food is actually con-
sumed. Each depot of the Quarter
master Corps is a central subsist-
ence business of its own, supplying
the camps, cantonments, aviation
! fields, and other posts in its terri
tory. The subsistence officers are
held responsible for the quality of
the goods they receive.
Before the supplies reach the
depots, however, they are passed
upon by inspectors in the packing
houses, canneries, and other sources
of origin. The records at Washing
ton show the capabilities, character.
and standard of every establishment
furnishing food for the Army. The
specifications which their products
must meet are clear and exact.

Kendrick Girls Sell Hair

Spokesman Review Impelled by
a desire to do something for the
Red Cross and to help the govern
ment. four girls of Kendrick, Idaho,
decided to contribute their hair.
The result was fund of $210.
The story of the sacrifice was
told last night by Harry Morris,
conductor on the Palouse branch of
the Northern Pacific. Two of the
girls were on the train, and he
noticed that their hair was cut of, /,
and inquired the reason.
The two girls who came to Spo-
kane yesterday and will remain
here to work are Miss Della Riggin
and Miss Mae Sherbondy. The
others are Miss Edna and Miss
Alpha Long, daughters of a ranch
er near Kendrick. They are ex.
pected to come to Spokane within
! a week to live.
Il have a brother in France, y
one of the girls told Mr.. Morris
1--WE got to talking about what we
could do to help the Red Cross OF
other war work, and one of the
girls suggested that if We could sell
our hair we might get consider
able sum of money. We asked the
Red Crosse people if they would ac
cept the money, and they tried tt
discourage US, but said the none!
would be acceptable. So we al
had our locks clipped and sen
them to a hairdresser and got $2lO
Of course the hair will grow on
again, and if the war lasts lon,
enough we may be able to help il
that way again"
