HOGS NEEDED FOR WAR
FOOD
What the Department of Agri-
culture is Doing to Help
Win the War

The lowly hog is going to prove a
considerable factor in winning the
war, since it is one of the principal
sources of supply that must be de-
pended on to meet the worldwide
shortage of animal fats and oils.
Pork in the form of ham and bacon
makes up great part of meat ration
of the fighting troops. Because it is
one of the most concentrated, most
easily preserved and edible of meats
we are going to need millions of tons
of cured pork the coming year to ship
to our own troops and their allies.
The increased price and demand, the
quick returns on investment, and the
desire to serve their country is going
to induce many farmers to go into the
business of hog raising.
The department of agriculture
through its experts for years has been
studying to find the best methods of
caring for and feeding these animals.
They have published the results of
these Investigations in several bulle-
tins, which are furnished free to any
one who will write for them to the
Division of Publications, Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. c. One
of the most helpful of these publica-
tions is Farmers Bulletin 205 on "Pig
and Bulletin 874 on
Swine Management" These contain
plans and instructions for pens, yards,
feeding and prevention of dis
ease. Bulletin S34 discusses "Hog
Cholera Prevention and Treatment"
Bulletin 765 describes the various
breeds of swine and their character
istics. Bulletin 500 gives the result
Of carefully conducted experiments on
the value and management of pastures
and grain crops for hogs in this part
Of the United States.
All this valuable data which the
government has spent much time and
money to collect for your benefit is
yours for the asking. If you are
thinking of raising few hogs this
season to help out the food shortage
you should avail yourself of this in
1t may save you loss.

From Floy Clark.

Dear Doctor Rose-I am well and
happy in France and think OF my
friends at home quite often. As yet
we have received very little mail from
the U. S. l keep right with daddy.
wherever he moves to and have ev-
erything as nice as possible and enjoy
being with him more than with any
one else, for we were always great
pals. He has surely made success
of the army life and is about as far
up as he can go without being over a
division. Clare Skinner and Don Ea-
gleson and l are together in the head
quarters company and spend a good
deal of time together, with dad look
ing out for all of US. We are To-
Gated in one of the most beautiful
sections of France and enjoying the
fine weather, nearly like spring, and
it reminds me a great deal of Idaho.
Our last camp in France was In
very mountainous country, but very
pretty, and we were quartered in large
stone barracks. Our trip from place
to place is the bad part of it, but we
are always ready to move. At pres
ent we are very well satisfied and ex-
cellently treated by the French peo-
pie, but nevertheless we will be the
happiest army on earth when we once
more set our feet on American soil.

AND RAFFLINC
Attorney General to Decide Whether
Gambling Devices or Not

At the request of the prosecuting
attorneys from several counties, the
attorney general will soon hand down
written opinion on the punch
board" question. There has been
some difference of opinion relative to
whether the disposition of candies and
other articles, by punch boards" does
not violate the anti-lottery, anti-raf
fling, and anti-gambling statutes.
While the dealer may not obtain more
than the usual market price for the
articles, and while the 'puncher" may
be entitled to some trifling article for
every punch, yet it has been con-
tended that the whole scheme is de-
vised to make a skilfull appeal to the
gambling spirit, and that the sales
of candies and other articles are eff
fected purely in virtue of that appeal
The attorney general has also been
requested for an opinion as to the
proper construction of the law for
bidding sales of tobacco to minors,
and to pass upon the question as to
whether that law applies to all minors
under 81.
Prosecuting attorneys in the several
counties are expected to prosecute on
the basis of the opinion rendered, at
least until the supreme court of the
state has decided the matter.
1t has been suggested that, if the
punch boards" violate the law, then,
for even stronger reason, the raffies
held for the benefit of the Red Cross
are also misdemeanors. If so, it |
would appear that it would be better
to devise other means of aiding that
good cause.

from the states and / appreciate it
very much to know that the home
folks are thinking of us while we are
so far from home. l sure would like
to see some of the boys, but | guess
we are scattered over France and the
United States. I haven't seen John
since he left Boise and very few of
the other boys. Don Downing and
myself are the only Emmett boys in
this camp at present and it is hard
to tell whether the other boys are
far or near as we are not permitted
to tell or write where we are sta
toned We of the 146th had fine
voyage across, as the Atlantic was
very calm during the entire trip. We
have a fine camp here and | think
l will like it after getting settled and
a little smattering of French.

Field Glasses Wanted for the Navy

Field Glasses Wanted for the Navy
The navy is in most urgent need of
binoculars, spy glasses and telescopes.
Foreign importations have been en-
tirely cut off and the supply on hand
is far from sufficient. A rental of 81
will be paid by the navy department
for privately owned glasses, which
will be returned at the end of the
war unless lost or destroyed. Any
glasses that are not suitable will be
returned. Here is a chance for the
stay-at-homes to do a bit of real war
work by helping to give eyes to the
navy. If any person has glass of
this kind that they will lend the COVER
ment and will send or mail it to the
Forest Supervisor at Emmett, Idaho,
with their name and address it will
be forwarded to the navy department
and a record kept of it in the Super
visor's office until it is returned. Those
who have contributed to date are:
Geo. C. Heubner, Emmett, one pair
of opera glasses brought from Ger
many in 1870.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank G. Carpenter,
Emmett, one pair of field glasses and
one spy glass.
Jack Little, Emmett, one pair field
glasses.
Jerry Hurley, Nyssa, Ore, one pair
field glasses.

From Clair Haylor

Jan. 25-Have received one letter
from you (H. Haylor) and 20 others
from my wife and Kansas folks. We
are still here and expect to stay some
time. Dad would like to be with me
for a while, as there is quite lot of
wild game here. The top sergeant
brought in a deer the other day and
YOU should have seen it not much
bigger than a coyote. The mechanics
brought in two wild boars one day and
another the next day, so the company
had one feed of boar meat which was
pretty good, but not much like any
wild meat that l ever ate before.
There are lots of little towns scattered
through this country and we are near
two of them. 1t is amusing to try to
buy anything, as the most OF the
people don't understand English much
more than 1 do French. Water is
scarce and has to be hauled IN, but
wine is plentiful, but l don't like 1t.
Can get a good meal cheaper than in
the states. Most things are reason
able except American tobacco and
sweets. We were paid off in French
money. A franc is equal to zoe in
our money. Their small coppers are
5 and 10 centimes and are larger
than our old pennies and 2-cent pieces.
Skinny" and that bunch are across
here some place, also a lot of st.
Anthony boys, but have no idea where
hey are.

the next morning. One of the men
was especially friendly with the boys
and made numerous friends, one of
whom was Flintoff So the next morn
ing the boys in Flintoff's room were
awakened by wild shout from him.
The Frenchman had entered the room
at about in the morning to tell his
friend goodbye. He went up to him
and while he was asleep kissed him
on both cheeks and his mouth. Flint's
cry of surprise awoke the others, who
hastily jumped up on their beds and
when it came their turn they care
fully reached down and shook hands
with the Frenchman. So you see what
awful dangers we are subject to.
The weather here is comparatively
mild, considering that it is Writer. 1t
very seldom gets cold enough that we
need an overcoat. The only disagree
able thing is the rain. Hardly day
passes that it doesn't rain, but we are
getting so used to it that we hardly
notice it any more. The snow has all
disappeared and the hills look pretty
with the blocks of cultivated fields
and orchards and woods. The grass
is already green, so we think spring
is on its way, although the trees are
still bare.
We certainly miss The Index. Ev-
cry time the mail comes, which so far
has been very seldom, l look TO see
if l have received my mail, and then
go over to see if Major Clark has
received the paper. | no more than
get inside the door than he asks me
if l received the paper from home.

this country and they certainly are

BOOTLECGERS IN COLORADO HAVE
 HARD TIME OF II

DENVER, April 26.-Colorado's first company of state constabulary is making "bootlegging," the illicit traffic in liquor from wet" Wyom- ing into "dry" Colorado, decidedly un- popular for the "bootlegging mag nates," many of whom have become rich since Colorado went dry" two years ago.
 "War to the death" on bootlegging was the order of Colonel Frank Ad- ans, superintendent of the constabu- lary, to the first company when it took the field on January T. Already it has made its effect felt, and whisky which bootleggers formerly sold in Denver for $2.50 pint has jumped to $3 and $3.5O pint because of the added danger to it's importation. Doz- ems of men have been arrested, as
The Cordova daily times., 1918-04-26

many as eleven automobil being stopped and their occupantsrrested in one night. All these aumobiles carried dozens of cases illicit liquor.
 Before the constabulary declared war and took the field it so was possible in Denver for whis- drink CTS to choose their brand, solentiful was the supply. Now it all classed as bootleg" and those w) drink have no choice as to what bnd.
 One man already is deadthrough action of the constabulary. He was shot near the Wyoming linen Colo rado one night late in Februy. when he refused to halt when ordeed to do so by squad of state poce. He died few hours later in a aeyenne Wyo., hospital.
 The man was Ray D. Hangar, al automobile man of Denver Harri gan had been arrested prevausly by the Denver police, charged With boot logging, and was suspected by tn constabulary of running" whisk from Cheyenne to Denver. However there was no liquor found nhis autC mobile after the shooting. The COT stabufary charge Harrigan with ac ing on that night as pilot for al other machine, and that if he mad it through he would return and te

the other the coast was clear.
 A coincidence of the Harrigan case was that less than two weeks later his brother-in-law, in Harrigan's au- tcmobile, was arrested by the same members of the state police within two miles of where Harrigan was killed. This time the automobile car ried sixty-three gallons of whisky, ac- cording to the squad which made the arrest.
 As soon as the men can De recruited there will be four companies of con stabulary. Each will consist of forty five men and a captain, lieutenant, sergeant and two corporals.
 But the standards of the service are i high and men are hard to find since
 the war was declared by the United States on Germany. Most of the mem
 hers are former soldiers or sailors,
 cowboys, Texas rangers or men who
 long have lived in the West. All must
 meet the highest mental physical ana moral requirements.
 The constabulary was made possible
 through action of the last Colorado !. ,egislature as a war measure, to guarC
 and police the state during the war r. It is formed on lines similar to tn' i. pennsylvania state constabulary. an' Q Its members can be called for duty Il Il any part of the state.
