CALDWELL GETS
BEHIND EFFORT
TOCHANGE TIME
Petition Generally APP
proved and Strong At
tempt Will Be Made to
Set Clocks Up.

Generous is the number of sigma.
ures which .. w. Erwin, secretar,
of the Commercial club, had affixed
to the petition which he circulated
Thursday afternoon asking return
to Mountain time. This petition will
be presented before the Boise Ad
club Friday evening as being indica-
tive of Caldwell business mems desire
to get back on the old time basis.
Recently the interstate commerce
commission denied an application
through the, Idaho public utilities
commission for an order granting a
return in southern Idaho to the Noun.

faster than Pacific time and was for
merly inforced as far west as Hunt.
ington. Now Pocatello is the time
changing point and southwestern
Idaho has felt that such time SEIZED
ule is not best adapted to the needs
of this section of the state.
When the hearing was held in
Boise on this petition to go back to
Mountain time some time ago, it was
verbally agreed that in the event
the application was denied, some at
tempt would be made to get Nampa,
Boise and Caldwell together on a uni
form and more satisfactory standard.
Now, however; Nampa has decided
that she prefers to have Uncle Sam
and God Almighty mind the clocks"
and probably will not be represented
at the Boise meeting.
Wednesday evening, the Develop
ment league of the local club went
on record as favoring a change to
set the clocks one hour ahead and
instructed Mr. Erwin to circulate a
petition to determine what proper
ton of Caldwell business men favor
change entirely independent of fed
eral regulations.
Several Idaho towns, notably Twin
Falls, have bee noperating independ-
entity of the federal time regulations
and are reported to be entirely salts
fled with the arrangements in spite
of the discrepancy which exists be-
tween that time and railroad time.

WHEAT VALUES
MUST GO UP IS
FARM VERDICT
Farm Bureau Federation
Asserts That Actual
Shortage Exists With
SIS Wheat Ahead.

Boise.-"The world is short of
wheat; the United States is oversold,
and prices must certainly go higher"
These declarations appear in state
ment just received by L. w. Flu
harty, secretary of the state farm bu-
reau, from the offices of the American
farm bureau federation at Washing
ton, D. c.
Already more than 125,OOO, 900
Bushels of our wheat has cleared for
foreign ports" says this statement,
"and the most optimistic figures
never have indicated a total export
able surplus to exceed 100000, 900
bushels. In other words, much more
than half of the wheat that can be
spared for export already has gone
out of the country. There is no wheat
surplus today. On the contrary, there
is a real world shortage, and those
who have studied the situation closely
predict S. to $3.50 wheat before an
other crop is harvested.
Supply Below 1919.
"In support of these broad state
ments, federation officials cite the
fact that all European wheat yields
have dropped materially below their
earlier estimates, and that final crop
figures show only 20,OO0OO0 bushels
more than last years crop, while the
combined wheat and rye crops show
total even less than last years crops,
or probably the smallest on record in
recent decades. Federation officials
say further that the wheat crops of
the northern hemisphere, exclusive
of India, which is no longer an inter-
national factor, are more than 10O,-
100000 bushels under year ago.
They say the crop of the United
States is l90,0O0,0O0 bushels under
that of year ago, and that the COM
bined crop of the United States and
Canada is l20,OOO,0OO under that of a
year ago; also that the worlds visible
supply of wheat is 200,0O0,000 bushels
short of what it was year ago.
"'There is absolutely no justifica-
ton for the present law grain prices,
says J. R. Howard, president of the
American farm bureau federation, and
if natural forces are allawed to prevail
the price of wheat must rebound
strongly in the near future.
1--WE do not intend to call on or
ganized strike to withhold grain from
the market to force the price to re-
gain its true level, but we do feel that
every Trainer should know the facts
as to the available supply and prob
able demand, and if on the strength
of these facts it seems good business
to hold, he should be granted the
necessary credit to do so. We do not
believe the general consuming pub
lie desires to see the farmer accept
the present ruinous prices offered
particularly when the margins go into
the pockets of the Spectator than to
the man who buys the bread"

Probably the most important indi.
rect means for increasing production
is the avoidance OF waste. This should

there is a particular necessity for

Observations made by specialists Of
the United States department OF agri.
culture show that n surprising amount
Of wheat Is wasted IN the thrashng

Cold Causes Stale Bread.

Prof. ]. r. Katz of Amsterdam has
been trying to discover what makes
bread grow stale. He has found, says
Chambers Journal, that low temporal
ture is the chief cause. Bread kept at
40 degrees F. was quite fresh at the
end of 4S hours; but when the tenn
perature was reduced to 122 degrees
the bread began to grow stale, and
continued to increase in staleness
down to about three degrees below the
freezing point. Beyond that the stale
ness grew less until at the tempera-
ture of liquid air the bread had again
become perfectly fresh. 1t is suggest
cd that bread can be kept fresh by
nlacing it in a fireless cooker immedi-
ately after it is removed from the
oyen.-Youth's Companion.

DAYS PUT MARK ON FACES
Interesting to Note the Differing Phys
iognomies as the Week Makes
Its Usual Round.

If "the proper study of mankind Is
man." then make a beginning by
studying the weeks faces of your fell
low travellers or workers. You will
find that each day brings a change OF
countenance, says London Answers.
'Friday faced was once a %reproach.
It was thrown at the man with a long,
doleful visage, and harked back to the
DAYS when the Friday fast was uni
versal. And although the observance
of Friday as a day of fasting is now
more honored in the breach than in
the observance, the "Friday face" re-
mains. Test it next Friday.
The Saturday face is the best of the
batch. The payment of wages, the
of the Saturday half-holiday,
the knowledge that the weeks work is
nearly wound up, is reflected facially.
The Saturday crowd is pleasant to
look on.
Mondays face is grumpy, and holds
a disconnected look. Another week OF
work has to be faced. Rest and pleas
ure are knocked off. Never ask a ia
yor on a Monday, and do not expect
an exuberance of courtesy.
Tuesdays face is better, and the
shadows of it are light.
Wednesdays face is the normal face.
Work has ceased to annoy, the har-
ness does not rub, finance is easy.
Wednesday is a sociable day as be-
tween man and man.
Thursday is not so good. It's a half
Monday, half Tuesday face. Work is
taking it's toll, and the end of the week
seems a long way off, For nonshop
workers, too. closed shops and dull
tho~roughfares depress. Faces are not
amiable on Thursdays.
