No Drop in Prices.
BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 22.-Thero
has been no drop in prices here since
the government began its war on
boarding and profteering, quotations

vances.
Parcel Post Food Sale.

for surplus army food for delivery
through the parcel post are still
being taken at most postoffces.
James I. Blakeslee, assistant post
master general announced today.
The sale which began last Monday
was TO have ended Wednesday.
"Postmasters will continue to take
orders for the army food until each
has sold his entire allotment" said
Blakeslee.
although order books were closed
Wednesday night, at the postoffices,
this was temporary let down 80 as
to give the postmasters time to
check up their orders totals. Some
discovered that they had completely
sold out their ailotments or certain
foods. Most postmasters still have
a surplus of some foods"
Sale OF army surplus foods to cities
has been suspended until the war de-
partment can learn whether post
masters have not booked orders for
the entire department, it was stated
at war department director of sales
office.
Orders from postmasters, for sur
plus food have been so large that
the war department does not know
whether more orders from cities can
be filled.
The postoffice department has ad-
yised the war department that its
orders probably will take the whole
surplus supply.
Cities, however, still may buy
articles packed in containers that
cannot be handled through the par
cells post department.
If auditing of surplus food orders
shows that postmasters have not
ordered an entire supply, sale to
cities will be resumed.

Should Start Something

Reports from Boise as we'll as
from other sections of the country
are to the effect that labor is con-
jesting now that soldiers are be-
ing released by thousands at a
time when work Of all kinds is
practically at a standstill. The
powers to be should start some
thing, anything, if it is in their
power to do so. There are mil
lions of acres of arid land that
need water which would provide
homes for millions and would
also provide work for millions.
Also there are hundreds of thous-
ands of acres of logged off land
which need clearing up and made
fiE for homes. Could not the gov
ernment help out on projects of
this kind in some other way?

ROOSEVELT DEAD.
Death Came Monday Morn-
ing---Only Negro Attend
ant Present.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
died in his sleep early Monday at
his home on Sycamore Hill in Oys-
ter Bay. Death is believed to
have been due to rheumatism,
which affected his heart.
The colonel suffered a severe at
tack of rheumatism and sciatica
on New Years day, but none be-
lieved that his illness was likely
to prove fatal.
The former president sat up
most of Sunday and retired at IL
O'Clock Monday night. He came
to his home on Sycamore hill from
the Roosevelt hospital on Christi
mas day, but week later was
stricken with a severe attack Of
rheumatism and sciatica, from
which he has been suffering for
some time. The rheumatism af-
fected his right hand and it be-
came much swollen. He re-
mained in his room and efforts
were made to check the trouble.
Last Saturday the colonels secre-
tary, Miss Josephine Strickler,
called to see him but the colonel
was asleep in his room.
Miss Stricken said that no one
had any idea that death was SO
near at hand.
Colonel Roosevelt was laid to
rest without pomp or ceremony
in Young's Memorial cemetery in
that village Wednesday afternoon.
Tie was buried on d knoll over
looking Long Island sound, plot
which he and Mrs. Roosevelt sell
ected soon after he left the White
House. The words of the clergy
man who conducted the funeral
service, Americas most typical
American" known in every cor
nor of the earth, will 60 to his
grave as a "quiet, democratic,
christian country gentleman be-
loved by his neighbors."
After prayers at the Roosevelt
home, at which only members of
the family were present, the fun
eral services were held at 1245
in Christ Episcopal church, the
little old frame structure where
for years the colonel and his fam
lily attended divine worship.

Why is an Editor

A boy was told to write a COM
position and this is the result:
Don't know how newspapers
came to be in the world. | don't
think the Lord does for He hain't
got nothing to say about editors
in the Bible. l think the editor
is one of the missing links you
read of and stayed in the bushes
until after the flood and then
came out and wrote the thing up
and has been doing so ever since.
l don't think he died. | never
seen a dead one and never heard
of one getting licked.
"a doctor can use a word a
yard long without anybody know
ing what it is, but if an editor
uses one he has to spell it.
"Any old college can make a
doctor, but an editor has to be
born. ."-Unityvllle Unicorn.

The Old Silver Dollar

How dear to my heart is the
old silver dollar when some kind
subscriber presents it to view
The liberty head without necktie
or collar and other strange things
that to us seem new.
The wide spreading eagle, the
arrow below it. The stars and
the words which the strange
things they tell. The coin of oul
fathers, we are glad we know it
For some time or other it vii,
come in right we'll.
The spread eagle dollar the
star spangled dollar we all love
so we'll.

Idaho No Home for
Foreign Rorn Slackers S

Spokane, Wash, January o.
Idaho is to be no home for for
.eign born men who gave up their
citizenship papers in preference
to entering the war for the United
States. Following close upon the
announcement that the Atlas Tie
company of Occur d 'Alene was
barring all such'men from its en-
ployment comes the announce
ment that mining companies, the
Blackwell Lumber company and
other concerns are notifying ev-
eryOne concerned that these slack
ers cannot be employed in their
plants. Many former employees
have been discharged as soon as
it was learned that they had re-
nounced citizenship.
In Shoshone county officials are
prepared to proceed under the
Idaho statutes, which provides
that no private corporation may
employ foreigner who has not
first declared his intention of be-
coming a citizen of the United
States.

A Mes sage From People

The legislatures of: western
states soon to meet have had a
message. 1t has been written
and delivered at the poles to the
members-elect of the legislature
in the form of election returns.
The institutions were to the law
makers and the state admins
tration. These bodies were told:
THAI they must encourage de-
velopment.
That they must invite immi-
grafton and capital with a guar
anty that both will be protected.
That they must keep admi mis-
tration free from every thing that
savors of socialism and give,t the
state straight-up business deal
safety and progress the motto.
The people have instructed the
incoming state government to
avoid radicalism to keep the ship
Of state in safe waters and to
keep it moving.

American Public asked
to Subscribe 80 Millions

The number of American re-
lief workers among the destitute
and starving peoples of the Near
East has been augmented by
Americans who were imprisoned
during the war by the Ottoman
government.
A cable received by the COM
mittee also states that Americans
imprisoned during the war are
now at liberty and are actively
engaged in relief work in Arme-
MIA and Syria. Among them are
William Nielsen, former Vice
Consul at Tripoli, Syria; Charles
Arthur Dana, of the Presbyterian
Board of Foreign Missions, and
Mr.. Levine. All Of them were ac-
cused of espionage, by the former
Turkish government, the charge
growing out of the help the Amer
leans gave to Armenian refugees.
For the purpose of continuing
its relief work among the people
of the Near East, the American
Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief has appealed to the
American public to subscribe $780,
100000. A nationwide cam
paign to raise this amount will be
waged during the week of Janu-
ary 18th to 10Th.
The Rev. DR.. Franklin T. Con-
nor; Pastor of the Bethel Presby-
terian Church, Spokane, who has
been doing organization work,
throughout Eastern Washington
and Northern Idaho, has been
recommended to be a member of
a commission going to Armenia,
due to his having been so greatly
interested in the work since it
was started.

High Cost Of Feed Men
ace to Stock Industry

In sections where dairying is ex-
tensive dairymen thought for a
while they would have to sacrifice
their herds on account of the high
cost of mill feed and shortage of
hay. In southern Idaho much al
falfa is raised and not so much
dairying is done. This surplus
hay is now being shipped to the
points where most needed at a
cost of $24.50 per ton.
During the past summer thous-
ands of dairy COWS were sent to
the packing houses, as we'll as
thousands of brood sows which
were disposed of because of the
shortage of feed. These condi-
tions were unavoidable as feed
could not possibly be aimed at
a profitable cost, and in most
cases it was not to be had at any
price.
In some parts of the country
livestock were near perishing from
starvation and they were sold to
packers in poor condition, being
only fit for what is known as can
ners. At the price of pork it is a
great waste to sacrifice young
brood sows as has been the case
in the past, but at the cost of feed
it was either sell them or let them
starve.

A Case Of 'iAaye to"

If there is such a thing as being

it is for everybody's interest that

Give Mining Even Chance

Now that the war isover, many
restrictions on mining develop
ment should be removed.
Owing to government orders
large producers were resticrted and
many small producers suspended
entirely.
Restrictions were necessary in
order to win the VIZ, and the
mining industry responded with
superb patriotism.
Thousands Of skilled men and
mining engineers were taken out
of development work and sent to
the front to help win the war.
Thousands of mines suspended
production and development
work to meet the governments 6
demand for man-power.
These mines suspended finan-
cial operations and closed up their
properties until after the war and
put their money into the war.
All restrictions hindering legiti-
mate development should now be
removed and let the work of open
ing new mines go ahead.

TO BURN TIMBER
IN BIG RESERVE
Dead Timber Covers Large
Amount of Grazing
Land.

In Idaho county in this state
lies the Nez Perce forest reserve
embracing approximately 2,000,-
600 acres. Here and there in this
government reserve a number OF
settlers were allowed to file home
steads in certain townships that
were thrown out of the reserve.
Most of these settlers have en-
gagged in the cattle industry. AS
these herds increased the grazing
area gradually became insufficient
for the requirements of the farm
ers. and stockmen. Forest fires
have burned over great areas and
all that remains is a mass of
twisted, blackened dead timber
wlicl if cleared up would provide e
the best OF grazing land. Stock
are unable to penetrate some of
these jungles.
Stockmen who have located
within these large forest areas or
reserves are in favor of petitioning
the head Of the forestry department
to permit the settlers in conjunc-
ton with the forest rangers and
hlnder the latter's supervision and
direction to burn off this dead
burned over timber, thus clearing
the ground covered by it with a
view of seeding it to clover and
other grasses.
The idea is a good one from
every point of view. The timber
is worthless, unless it could be
converted into fuel wood which is
impracticable because of the great
distance from transportation
points and the nature of the
country leading to it. AS it is
the land is more valuable for
grazing purposes than any other.
Also if the land can be made fit
for stock grazing it will help in
crease and stimulate the stock in
dustry of Idaho county. The
only Objectionable fea ture and
probable the only one which the
government officials will find is
the danger from fire in burning
it. But the danger would not be
great if fred close to the wet sea-
son and care used as in any for
est fire to prevent spreading.

CuItivating Enterprise

Wallace Dempsey, a 16 year
old lad living at Priest River,
Idaho, has demonstrated that pop
corn can be grown successfully in
that region. He planted a small
tract as an experiment. The corn
turned out to be of such good
quality that a local merchant has
contracted to take all the corn
the boy can raise next season, at
a price of one cent a pound above
prevailing market quotations.
