More “Dope” on Wheat and Flour It has been impossible for me to answer all the letters in regard | to the disposition of surplus flour, ete. The food administration does not expect anyone to do the impossible. It is not likely that those in the very remote parts of the county will be compelled to return any flour unless their sup- ply is evidently in excess of their needs or if they are disregarding food conservation rules. But it is demanded that they report what they have. No definite provision has been made for the return of flour except that merchants may take it back at the present market price. Farmers should sell the wheat they have left after seeding. If Mmm, \it is not sold it will be comman- — ¢ deered. It is urged that each family should strive to be as near self- supporting as possible by planting a garden, and especially by rais- ing a large patch of potatoes. Remember that the Govern- ment expects you to use not to exceed 6 pounds of wheat flour for each person per month. If you use more, our soldiers and al- lies will have less. : Victor Peterson, Food Administrator for Idaho County. Death of Mrs. Shattuck. The death of Mrs, Shattuck, wife of Prof. R. A. Shattuck the well known music teacher, died Wednesday at her home in Ferdi- nand after a brief illness with pneumonia, at the age of 59 years. The burial took place in the Cottonwood. cemetery this after- noon, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. Gornall at one o'clock. As evidence of the high esteem in which the deceased and her husband are held, the floral offer- ings were profuse and beautiful. Among the flowers furnished were wreaths by the Ladies Aid Socie- ty, the Rebekah lodge and bands of Ferdinand and Cottonwood. —o—_—~ More Liberty Bonds.

Frans She oe A crowd of our Red Cross boost- ers, including the band, went to Keuterville Sunday, where a rous- ing rally was held in the interest of the coming Red Cross drive. After the meeting—during which time half a dozen or more short speeches were made—the patriotic people of that section subscribed nearly $200 to the fund, and will continue to subscribe until after the drive is over. Next Sunday a delegation of our boosters, includ- ing the band, also Judge McDon- ald of Lewiston, will hold a simi- lar rally at Greencreek at 2:30 and Winonaat 8 p. m. Craaceeeckendih An interesting meeting of the Patriotic League was held in Odd Fellows hall last night. Among those who made short talks for the good of the league was Father Willibrord of the Catholic church. In nearly every city and town in the United States “War Savings” societies are being organized, and it is thought such an organization here would havea beneficial ef- fect. All the ladies in town and this vicinity have a special invi- tation to meet with the men in Odd Fellows hall next Thursday evening at 7:30 o’clock to discuss this matter. Everybody is invit- ed to be present. CRE TT A The Fulton Orchestra of Grange- ville, considered one of the best organizations in the state, has dis- banded for the present.

What About a Silo This Year? Every farmer in this state will or later have one or more silos. sooner They are just as necessary to economical and profitable farming as is the livestock for which the silos are built and filled. Every farmer who builds a silo wants the best his money can buy. And with the great number of silos on the mar- ket, many of them of very doubtful val- ue, we know it’s something of a puzzle for you to pick out the one best silo for your farm. We found it something of a puzzle ourselves until we saw the Eu- reka and right there we stopped, realized that IT was just what , for we we had been looking for—A REAL SILO ata REASONABLE PRICE. It was easy for us to see this and we feel sure it will be easier for you to see it because you know what a silo must do to make good on your If you will take just a few hours soon to come in, we can show you how,the Eureka will do all that you expect a silo to do. Better come in this week and place your order to make sure that you will get it built before the busy season begins.
