ENTHUSIASTIC RED
CROSS WORKERS

The largest and most enthusiastic
gathering of Red Cross workers that
have met for some time gathered
Thursday at the Parish house for an
afternoon of sewing in response to the
organization for sewing and still more
sewing. The following ladies responded
to the roll call: Mesdames F. A. Mon
son, P. S. Haddock, J. w. Lundin, j.
w. Baker, Joe Dunn, B. G. Lane, t. j..
Murray, e. A. Bowler, NJ. T. White
mack, w. L. Seward, c. F. Borden, J..
L. Fuller, F. Crosse, L w. Gnroing,
f. Bailey, o. 2. Burkhead, Geo. Sturgis
F. G. Merrifield, e. L. Ginger, d. W.
Yaden, Geo. Anderson, r. r. Osborn,
E. r. Helm, E. w. Sinclair. D. S.

C. Wernecke, Prak, A. A. Walter, H.
II. Phillips. A. D. Fuller NJ. Burkhill,
w. A. Dunhaf, A. A. Moline.
The women Of Shoshone are filled
with the spirit of sacrifice and de-
votion to the cause. Their ready re-
sponse to the Red Cross calls is made
through their home work as well as
through the sewing work. In this is
sue is a new call for more home work
ers. Knit and knit and knit says the
secretary, also sew and sew and sew.
1t is evident that ever younce of wo-
man power in town can and will be
utilized. 1t is doubtful if there is a
woman in town who, if she cant sew,
is knitting; and if she cant knit is
sewing.

SHoSHONE WEATHER
Division Manager.

This bit of news is of no interest to
home readers but is written for the
benefit of the soldier boys who will
read it with feelings of great appre-
citation of conditions back home. Up
to Wednesday of the present week
but few nights have been cold enough
to freeze. Buds on the lilac bushes
and roses are swelled enough to show
colors of the flowers. Pansies have
blossomed out of doors. There has
scarcely been a day so far all winter,
until this week, that a fire has been
needed during the day. At Picabo
they are filling the ice houses with ice
but two inches thick, which in usual
winters are filled with ice from three
to four feet thick. Here at Shoshone
we have not had a half dozen nights
cold enough to freeze ice out of doors.
The weather has been so pleasant and
mild that practically all the plowing
in the county has been completed. At
the present time the snow in the noun
tains indicates a shortage of water for
the irrigation season, but if present
weather continues, this fay be largely
overcome by getting crops in very
early. There has been enough rain to |
put the ground in fine condition for |
seeding In the spring.

INDUSTRIES NEXT TO THE WAR


The press accords to all the depart
ments of the Government engaged in
carrying on the war the fullest pub
Iicity and editorial support.
Next to giving space to all the pub
licity the government needs to carry
on the war. the press gives space TO
home industries.
The press realizes that preparedness
at home, maintaining the pay rolls for
the breadwinners and the producers,
is most important.
The farmers and the labor organiza-
tions have made suggestions looking to
exemption from military duty, but pub
fishers ask no favors.
They help put over the draft machin-
cry, to secure volunteers for army and
navy, to boost the Liberty loan and
Red Cross Funds.
This is all done without money and
without price and no other line of bus
mess gives it's help so completely with
out hope of reward.
The press is Loyalty promoting the
plans for food conservation, for ships
building, sugar production, oil and
power development
The great industries that are back
of the military preparations and the
multitude of little local industries are
given support. "a
The press realizes that the people
must earn wages. must have money to
support families and that pay rolls
are Tie basis of prosperity. r Is

TO PROSECUTE
PRICE BOOSTERS

Violation of the governments orders
regulating the prices of coal and foods
is to be regarded as criminal offense.
The operatives of the bureau of in.
vestigation are to be used in gather.
ing evidence.
That such is the order from r. w.
Gregory. attorney general, was re.
vealed in a dispatch received from
Washington last night. FOR conviction
it must only be proved that the VIOLA
tion of the governments order is
"willful."
Retail and wholesale coal dealers,
jobbers and mine operators, are
deemed subject to prosecution.
United States district attorneys all
over the country have been sent food
and fuel administration prices and
have been instructed to seek the in.
dictment of all dealers against whom
there is well founded complaint.
Fuel Administrator Garfield took
the matter up with Mr.. Gregory after
receiving reports from many sections
that excessive prices are being
charged for coal.
State fuel administrators, according
to DR.. Garfield. are to cooperate with
the district attorneys in institutine
prosecution, and 1t is expected that
food administrators will work in the
same manner.
