WORK OR FIGHT ORDER TO
BE ENFORCED IN TENN

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 18.--En-
forcement of the vagrancy laws Of
the state will be undertaken in Ten
nessee on practically the same plan
as in the state of Maryland. w. Fl.
Sears, chairman of the state commit
tee Of the national COMMIT IN
prisons and prison leb~w f,lloWi7g
conference With Dr. q. Stage White,
chpirmar IF the executive council in
| Wesh ngton, has returned here with
the purpose of setting into motion
the machinery of the various sheriffs
and police officers in the state for a
statewide campaign against Migrants.
Compulsory work laws are not
headed, according to the Washington
officials, to execute the plan to COM
incl all persons in the state who are
| not employed to 60 to work
The vagraney laws Of the state are
regarded as sufficiently drastic to en-
liable the plan to put every one to-
work to be carried out Conferences
with Gov. RIVE and g. G. Member,
secretary Of the state board Of char
tiles, will be held at Nashville at
! once, anu Tie governor Will Dc Cducu
upon to issue proclamations to the
sheriffs of the various counties TO
begin an active campaign against
Migrants at once.
i Manufacturers win also be appealed
to to establish bureaus SO that those
who are placed in jail may be given
Immediate employment. It win be the
application Of the work or fight prin-
lciple in the state to all men between
the ages of 1S and 50 and not mere
lily to persons eligible for military
service. The authorities cannot re-
lquire these Migrants to register az
lin Maryland, but it is believed that
| through the cooperation Of the sheF-
ifs Offices and the court officials
the same results can be obtained
as are being obtained ia the state
lof Maryland. Mr.. Sears win also
start a movement to mobilize the
warehouses Of the state to gather
Iup all materials that are now going
to waste. such as paper, tin ears,
copper, rubber and other materials
needed for the munitions and var
essentials.

LABOR

Boise, June 13. We have in Ida.
no, citizens and aliens-some sub
ject to draft, others who are not
who are unwilling to work for the
current wage. In fact they would
not work for any stipulated figure
II they thot their refusal to work
would force the payment Of a high
er wage.
Idaho has arranged a wage scale
which Is as high OF higher than
that paid by any other state in the
Union for like agricultural labor
That scale has been approved by the
State Council of Defense as just and
reasonable. All u papers pub
lished in the state have been pro-
vided with that wage scale. We
now most respectfully ask all our
papers to publish that wage scale
in every issue Of their paper for the
benefit of their readers for a period
sufficiently long that all their pa
irons may become fully acquainted
with 1t. 1t is in condensed form
as follows:
For harvest hands. $500 for a
day of ten hours with board, and a
maximum of as cents an hour for
overtime. Monthly wages. $4,000
with board; or for married men who
board themselves. $4,000 a month
with suitable housing. For expert
irrigators. $500 a month and
board.
We respectfully ask all farmers
employing help to abide by that
scale that there be no competitive
bidding against fellow farmers. and
that the laborer may be assured his
wage and be protected in obtaining
it.
We respectfully ask the farm la
borer to accept this wage scale and
become an earnest producer with the
farmer for whom he labors; in order
that we may know our reliable, pa
triotic men working for a stipulated
price can be left at home to produce
the food our soldiers and allies must
have.
We are now engaged in the blood
lest war the world has ever known.
our lives and our liberties are at
stake. 1t Is unjust that our broth
ers and sons should die in France
while slackers bleed the producers
at home. "Idlers must work or

Cooperation in Sheep Grazing.

Groups of small sheep growers on
the Minidoka Reclamation Project.
Idaho, where approximately 500 set
tiers are producing sheep on their
farms, are consolidating their flocks
into larger bands for summer graz
ing. A field maj in the U. 8. De-
partment of Agriculture is assisting
in the work. The experiment in
cooperative grazing was tried in
1917 with two range bands and the
results were so satisfactory that the
number of bands has been Increased
to four this season. Approximately
5000 sheep. representing "a small
flocks. make up the four bands,
which will be grazed on the Saw
tooth National Forest. The farmers
act as a unit in their dealings with
the Forest Service and cooperate in
furnishing supplies and equipment
and in employing the necessary
herders and camp movers. Through
this cooperation 1t Is possible for
the small sheep growers to realize
the benefit of inexpensive summer
grazing for their flocks. The idea
also is being tried this aso on
several reclamation projects.
Don't Shoot Pigeons-They May Be

United States Army to carry mes

that cans practically free from rust

there are from 1000 to 5000 cans

U. S. Will Motorize
Artillery For Its Army

Motorization of field artillery will
be carried to a greater extent in
The American Army than in any
other army engaged in the war. Not
only will a far greater amount of
motor equipment be provided In pro-
portion to the strength of the Army.
but it will be used for work where
armies now in the field depend sole
ly upon horse and man power.
The Ordinance Department has
succeeded in developing such types
of tractors that. exclusive of the
heaviest field artillery mounted on
railroad carriages. all American ar
tillery will be motorized, with the
exception Of some 3-inch-gun bat
teries. The problem of motorization
of field artillery is a difficult one.
which explains why 1t has not been
carried to a greater extent than has
been the case with the armies that
have been fighting in Europe for
the last three years. # a5a
The possible output of tractors
for the transport Of field artillery
in the United States is practically
unlimited. whereas the supply of
horses Is at present limited and is
becoming more so each month.

HAY

Boise. June 13. Many growers

asking a forecast of crop and prices
