IDAHO PEOPLE CAN HAVE
MORE SUGAR FOR CANNING

A mistake seems to have been made If
the order sent out yesterday discontinue
| ing the issuing of permits for sugar ir
25-pound lots for canning purposes F.
| l. Coats, of the state food administra-
ton is here today and gave out the state
ment that Idaho people can have sugar
for canning purposes, but the food adj
ministration insists that it be used in
moderation To The Star-Mirror Mr.
Goats said:
"The sugar situation is critical, but
we have made no order disseminating
the use of sugar for canning. We shall
be able to allow the continuance of the
use of sugar for canning fruits This
is along the line of food conservation
which the administration wishes to en-
courage There is a scarcity of sugar
and we want to impress upon the people
the need of conserving it, but we do not
want to do anything to curtail the cam
ming of fruits during the fruit season.
Wonderful results have been OBJ
tanned in Idaho, due, think, to the
fact that our county food administra-
tors have been on their jobs all the
time We have made a fine record
During the month of July there was
saved in the state of Idaho alone more
than one million pounds Of sugar over
the consumption for July, 1917 I think
this fine showing for a state as small
as Idaho.
"On August 10 there will be a meeting
at Boise of all of the Pacific coast state
food administrators from Alaska to
California, when it is hoped to work out
a uniform plan by which all of the ter
ritory embraced will have the same
rulings in regard to food conservation.
The people are cooperating with the |
food administration everywhere and are
doing sp1endidly in the conservation of
food
"Mr Martin, county food. admins
traitor, will continue to issue permits for
sugar in 25-pound lots until the situa-
ton becomes such that this cannot
longer be permitted"

Frank L. Moore, Of Moscow, DEM
ocratic candidate for United States
senator, will have no opposition in
the primary election. He received a
telegram from G. W. Suppiger, of
Moscow, who is now in Boise, stating
that Mr.. Evans, whose name had been
filed for the democratic nomination,
had failed to file an acceptance. This
leaves Moore with a clear field in

candidates to succeed himself.

Too Much for the Skunk.

Mr.. Cackle Brery vouches for the
following story:
A Frenchman, an Englishman, an
Irishman and German prisoner were
in an argument as to which was the
bravest.
A Yank overheard the controversy
and decided to settle it. Pointing to
nearby poultry houe, he told them
that there was skunk inside and
asked the Irishman to step inside and
see how long he could stand it.
Pat did as he was told. In five min
utes he came out. The Englishman
followed, but he stood it only four
minutes. The Frenchman next tried
it, but five minutes was enough for
him.
It was the Germans turn. He went
in and the others waited. The minutes
passed -one two three four-five
six-seven, but no German. Eight
minutes en-the skunk came out
