STANDING ARMY OF 2SO,OOO PROVIDED

 REORGAN|z|NG BILL
Compulsory Training For Boys IS to 20 Years Old in Army or National
 Guard Included
 in Measure
By A,.aoI.t.a Pms,

Washington. December 21.-Legisla- tion which would amount to virtual reorganization of the army with pro- lection from outside attack as pri- mary purpose and with compulsory military training for boys from IS to Fl years of age as a leading feature, has been agreed upon tentatively by the Senate military subcommittee con sidering a permanent military policy for the nation. Senator Wadsworth of tee, said tonight the legislation would be put in final form during the Christ mas recess of Congress for presenta- tion to the full committee when the Senate reconvenes. r
 While various minor details of the plan remain to be worked out the Com mittee's present agreement, Senator Wadsworh said, calls for permanent standing peace army of 2s0,000 men. although the committee may possibly reduce this number in the final draft of the bill. The smallest possible standing army that will meet the de- mands of this country is the aim of the subcommittee. Chairman Wadsworth said
 One big army composed of the regu- lar army as now recognized and a re- serve, or citizens army, is provided in the tentative legislation
 Of the latter army the national guard would be a part, although the details of the organization of that service re- main to be worked out.

 joining the national guard for a fixed period during which they would receive the same amount of training as pre- scribed for the four months period
 Upon completion of this training, the recruits would be placed in a reserve army for period of five years, but un- der no conditions, Senator Wadsworth said, could the reserUfsts be called upon to perform military service except in case of a declaration of war
 While the bill will provide for com pulsory military training Senator Wadsworth said, there will be no pro- vision made for compulsory military service
 Another radical departure from the present military system will be the sub stitution of the term service" for corps, provision being made for desig hating the quartermastA. judge advo- cate, ordnance and simiNr branches as services.
 TO OVERRULE BAKER
 Promotions. the bill provides, would be guided by eligibility instead of semi ority, selections being made from a se- lected list.
 The subcommittee also plans to over rule the recommendations of Secretary Baker and General March, chief of slaAl, 70 nave the chemical warfare service combined with the engineering corps and instead will make the former service along with the construction and transportation branches.
 Under plans of the House committee. the peace army will include approxi- mately 3o0,000 enlisted men and 1S,0e0 officers.
 Consideration of the war depart ment.s recommendation for compulsory military training. however, has been postponed by the committee.
 As now planned the House bill win maintain the present status of the na- tional guard. It will also provide for ssplucking board" consisting of five general officers to weed out dead tim Der" among the commissioned men.

HAWLEY MAY BE NAMED
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR

Hon. James H. Hawley, former gov
ernor of Idaho, and Idaho's "grand
old man" may be named secretary of
the interior, to succeed Franklin X.
Lane, resigned, say dispatches from
Washington.
In Governor Hawley's behalf it was
argued that he was one of the group
of three in the political hat i'll 1913
when the president chose Mr.. Lane.
The other candidate considered at
that time besides Mr.. Lane and Gov
ernor Hawley Was Will R. King of
Oregon, who is now chief counsel
for the reclamation service. Mr..
King, not being regarded as n line
for the appointment at this time,
Mr.. Hawley is declared to have first
claim. Though 70 years old, Gov
ernor Hawley is said to be healthy
and vigorous

GOVERNOR SCOTS AT
EXTRA SESSION PLAN

Action taken by University Of Ida
no co-eds in passing resolutions
indorsing a special session Of tho leg
islature to ratify the suffrage amend
ment, has attracted interest of the
party leaders in Boise, say advices
from the capital The college girls
hold that Idaho IS vote may be a cri-
teal one before the campaign is over
to get the legislatures of the various
states to ratify. They are enlisting
support of the women's clubs in vari-
Gus parts of the state as well as the
alumnae.
1t is not likely that the special SEES
sion of the Idaho Legislature will be
called, however, unless tho college
girls and other women of the state
are able to convince Governor Davis
that it is necessary to win him to
their side. The governor is not in
clined at this time to summon the
solons Of course, in the event it
became imperative to have Idaho s
vote to assure safety of the amend
ment, he would order the special ses-
sion. The amendment does not seem
in any particular danger. In fact the
necessary twc-thirds vote will be
secured without any trouble, the
governor and others believe. Other
states which were planning special
sessions have abandoned the idea at
this time.
There is no question but that the
Idaho legislature would ratify the
amendment by a practical unani-
nous vote. That seems to be con-
coded. There is not the slightest pros
pect of a fight over ratification and
as long as the two-thirds vote is
assured the governor sees nothing to
worry about. Idaho can ratify in reg
ular order when the legislature con-
venes a year from now, it is held.

GOOD ROADS CRYING
NEED, ASSERTS PERRY
ELK CITY MERCHANT COMMENTS
ON CONDITIONS IN BIAS
IN COUNTRY

Business conditions have been eX-
ceptionally good in Elk City during the
year now drawing to a close according
to NJ II. Perry, Elk City merchant,
who was in Grangeville this week on
his way to Lewiston. Mr.. Perry had
not been in Grangeville for a year, and
naturally was much Impressed with
the road work that is going on.
"Increased business in my Elk City
store,' said Mr. Perry, els Indicative
of the growing property of that part
of the country, in both mining and
an agricultural way. We look for
much additional improvement within
the next few years.
Mr.. Perry is a keen advocate of
good roads into the mountain country,
and especially eager is he to see actual
work commence on the South Fork
highway.
''What we want is a road all the
way through to Elk remarked Mr.
Perry, "and we hope to see it cOmplet-
ed within the next few years so we
old-timers in that locality can acquire
benefit from a good highway. We
hope to see in the not far distant flu
ture 1000 or more people in the mount
ain country, instead of few hundred
miners and ranchers, who now popu-
late the Elk basin, and surrounding
districts -
Mr.. Perry said snow was two feet
deep at Elk City when he left, and
six feet of snow covered the ground
at Mountain House.

Vanilla Flavor Also Frowned
on by Filler, Who Issues a
Blacklist to Local Grocers
It's Worse than Whiskey, He
Says, in Commenting on Eff
fects of Famous Joy Juice

Issuing a blacklist, naming men who
are alleged to have purchased lemon
and vanilla extracts for beverage pur
poses at local grocery stores, Sheriff
Eller has declared that flavoring ex-
tracts shall not be sold to certain men
in Grangeville The sheriff has given
the names of these men, it is said, to
every grocery in the city.
Whether the sheriff of Idaho county
can legally forbid the sale of extracts
to any person is declared to be a moot
question, but the sheriff is convinced
he can forbid the sale of flavoring eX-
tracts to those who use the stuff as
beverage

WORSE THAN WHISKEY

dts worse than whiskey,' COM
mented Sheriff Eller. cit makes them
crazy"
Extracts are drunk because of the
alcohol they contain, as a substitute
for whiskey, which is not to be had in
Idaho, since Montana entered the dry
column last January. Previous to Jan
uary, whiskey was packed over the
mountains from Montana into Idaho,
and was somtimes to be had here, it
is said, if one were con to the ropes. -
The sheriff said vanilla extract con-
tains approximately 40 percent alec
hOl, while lemon extract is 80 percent
alcohol. Observers comment that, by
drinking either lemon or vanilla eX
tract, it is possible for a man to soon
get on genuine, old-fashioned
E'toot," although Idaho county is
prohibition territory. All the old
time effects of whiskey are derived
from drinking the extract, and more
effects, even that which whiskey fur
nished, are to be experienced.
ECHO OF OLD TIMES
Revival of the black list in Grange
vile recalls the saloon days of several
year ago, when 1t was cutomary for
backlists of heavy imbibers of strong
drink to be posted in saloons.
The sheriff says that flavoring ex-
tracts, usually sold in small bottles
for use by housewives, in flavoring
foods they prepare, are now to be had
in large bottles, such as might be
required by hotels and restaurants.
The sheriff asserts he feels confident
these large bottles also are prepared
by the manufactures for sale for bev-
erage purposes.
