COMMITTEE
HAS INTERESTING SESSION

The cNecul @ committee of the
county council of defense, C. j.
Kinsolving, II. b. Hay, w. d.
Keeton, p. Goodwin, II. l.. Al
corn and p. II. Sweeney, convened
i'm the probate court room Mon
day afternoon for the apparent
purpose of trying w. f.. Lufkin
ON charges brought by c.. J. Kin
solving, county food administra-
tor and chairman of the council
of defense, who acted as COM
planning witness. Nice-chairman
.T b. Hay presided over the meet
ing, Chairman Kinsolving being
disqualified by reason of his in
terest in the proceeding.
Attorney e. N. LaNeine, who
represented Mr.. Lufkin, asked
that in justice to his client the
hearing Of the charges against
him be made public but this re-
quest was denied by Mr. Hay, who
insisted that the whole proceed
ings should be secret and who de-
sired to exclude even the defend
ants attorney. Mr.. LaVeine in
sisted that Mr. Lufkin was en-
titled to legal representation and
i'm this connection said: "Not-
withstanding the fact that we are
at war, the time has not come
when the council of defense or
any other body may deprive
man Of his constitutional rights"
He then notified the vice-chair-
man that if the executive COM
mittee would not permit Mr.. Luf-
kin to be represented both he and
his client would withdraw from
the hearing.
Mr.. Hay insisted that the afore-
said "Star Chamber" method of
procedure be followed, evidently
favoring the plan of action used
during the Spanish Inquisition,
but was overruled by the remain
der of the executive committee
who, on motion, decided to allow
Mr.. Lufkin's attorney to remain,
but proceeded to put the skids
under the representative of the
press (who, by the way, was pres
lent on invitation from the chair
man of the county council and
also at the request of the ac-
cused). While this interesting
phase Of the situation was being
staged, Mr.. Dill, also connected
with the Powell-Sanders Co,
which Mr.. Lufkin represents, had
taken up strategic position near
the door to permit of speedy exit
should the trench mortar of the
vice-chairman be turned on him.
He also was bounced.
After the preliminaries the
proceedings were had behind
closed doors. Mr.. Lufkin has
stated ON several occasions prior
TO the hearing that he has at all
times endeavored i'm every way to
assist in the enforcement Of the
! federal and state food regulations
and will continue to do so.

There is an absolute necessity
for further conservation of
wheat and wheat products and
Idaho, along with the rest of the
country, must adopt the $3.50
plan, using only the substitutes
officially authorized, according to
telegraphic advices received by
Food Administrator Bicknell
from United States Food Admin
istrator Hoover.
In Mr.. Hoover's wire he states
he appreciates that some states
will have difficulty to find sub
stitutes, but this simply means
that wheat or wheat products
should be only sold TO the extent
that there are available substi-
tutes Of equal weight, thus re-
sulting in conservation of wheat
for the allies.
The wire emphasized our more
abundant meats should be sub
stituted for our less abundant
breadstuffs.
In this connection Idaho's food
administrator said that the
people of this state can serve
themselves and the government in
three-fold way by practically
lceasing to use both wheat flour
and the cereal substitutes and
instead use potatoes in increased
proportions along with meat.
"As recently suggested" said
Mr.. Bicknell, my personal opin-
ion is that if the public at large
will stop using flour and the sub
stitutes for a period of from 80
to so days and will use instead
potatoes, they will not only con-
serve as the necessities Of the
lease demand, but they will drive
down the price Of both flour and
1.-The substitutes and at the same
time furnish a market for ouI
large supply Of potatoes.
Refusal to use Doth flour and
Substitutes would be a much
Ireadier remedy against the high
Iprices concerning which so much
icomplaint is made than any regu-
Ilation the food administration
could devise.
"While it would perhaps b'
necessary to make exceptions Il
kthis suggestion in favor Of in.
tvalids 1 can see no reason VIII!
lour adult population could no
flor a period go upon a potato ant
lmeat diet and absolutely elimin-
late breadstuffs from their meals
IT regret that a completion o
1.-The wheat census by the nationa
administration renders necessar,
'tthe revelation Of my ruling Of
flow days ago permitting flour T.
be sold in the ratio of one par
y substitute to three Of wheat flou

state TO be put absolutely on tn

administration had any cOntrC

Benewah club and Eagle hall on
Friday afternoon and evening for
the purpose of taking the pre-
liminary steps towards organic
ing a Farm Bureau in this coun-
ty. The meetings were called by
L. b. Hitchcock, instructor in
soils at the University Of Idaho,
who is spending several weeks in
this county in the interests of
the organization.
At the afternoon meeting,
which was held at the Benewah
club, Herman Saxton was chosen
as temporary chairman and C. L.
Butler as temporary secretary.
MIR. Hitchcock went into a de-
tailed explanation of the farm
bureau, the need of it in every
community, and the work which
it will accomplish. He explained
that the bureau works hand in
hand with the county agent in
solving the problems confronting
the farmers and cited figures
from various counties in the state
showing the savings which had
been made and the assistance
which had been given to the
farmers of the different lOcali-
ties. a W
He explained that the depart
ment Of agriculture had asked
Cor the appointment of a county
Agent in every locality as a war
Measure to assist in greater food
production and in this connection
read a letter from Carl VroOman,
assistant secretary of the de-
partment of agriculture, urging
the appointment of such agents.
The letter from Mr.. Vrooman in
part is as follows:
"The county agents constitute
American agriculture's first line
Of defense. They are the men in
the first line trenches, zealously
guarding the farmers interests
and bringing to his attention all
that is of immediate practical
value in our scientific teaching,
and fortifying this with results
from the experience of the most
successful hard-headed practi-
cal farmers of each county.
"At a time like the present,
when the nation is engaged in a
great war wherein food prOduc-
ton is of vital military import
ance, the value of the county
agent to the Government can
hardly be over emphasized.
"Since the United States be-
came a belligerent, the county
agent has done valiant war ser
vice. In counties having agents
it was possible during the las
summer to secure truly wonder
full results, in quickly and ade-
quately meeting a. difficult labor
situation; in locating available
seed stocks; in arranging foi
; farm credits for the purchase o
machinery and fertilizer; in sup.
plying tractor power, and in Othe
forms of effective leadership, al
contributing to a great increas'
in the production of sprinI
wheat, oats, corn, potatoes an,
other food crops; and, finally il
assisting in facilitating market
ing" Y
At the close of Mr.. Hitchcock
address a, committee on organi
zation was appointed as follows
d. Bennett, M. C. Cleary, Chas
Brebner, P. E. Newport and R. '
Hall. March % was designate

Good music, good speaking. good movies
and an excellent spirit among the men
summarizes the activities of the past
week at No. 70.
On Tuesday we had the pleasure of. lis
tening to a most excellent program rem
dered by Senior Jose Andonegui, VioliniSt
who was accompanied on the piano by his
wife, and also Mr.. Sura, sooist, of the
ll2th Infantry. The men showed their in
tense appreciation for the classical and
popular selections rendered by their rapt
attention and their hearty applause. 1t
is not often that an audience of tired SOL
dierS Will remain absolutely quiet charm
ed by. the music and it is tribute to Sc
nor AndoneguiS playing that such was
the case. 1t is hoped that he will be able
to return to us in the near future.
The good speaking has come to us
through MI E4WeES OF HlllSDufS VINO is
spending q month at work in camp. He
has given us two talks which have come
straight from his heart and just as
straight from his shoulder. He has start
ed the men to thinking seriously along
constructive lines. There is something
wrong with man who is fighting for his
country and cannot fight himself-his de-
sires and his temptations. Master your
self NOW, and you will not have to fight
that battle when you reach France" And
by the number of War rolls" which were
signed after the meeting it is evident that
the men made definite decisions, as re-
suit of his tallS,-to take their stand with
Christ and to fight Gods battles with all
thir power and might.
Silas Mariner was the picture of the
week in the movies. 1t is a splendid thing
when we may have such pictures and the
men enjoy them. May we have many
