There is enough wheat, sugar, meat and fats in this country so that no one who is willing to substitute a reasonable amount need .fear that he will have to go hungry. Yet many seem to think it necessary to store up quantities of these articles to last then' fdr several years and do not seem to realize that in doing so they are absolutely . de- feating the object of the whole pro - grant. These food, are needed for im- mediate use. The _productive capac- ity of this country is sufficient guar- antee that a permaliefit shortage does not threaten. There is sufficient sup- ply on hatia at the present time to last until ;mother crop is harvested if people u ill refrain from storing it up so that proper 'distribution can be made, It is a part of the food administration's duty to sec that hoarding is prevented, and as on; attention has been called to the fact that there. are those in this comninn- ity who are laying in big supplies, we give herewith the: penalty provided • for such violations: Sec. 6—Hoarding. The punishment for hoarding necessities is a fine not exceeding $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than two years or both. Necessities are hoarded within the meaning of the act when (a) Held, contracted for or ar- ranged for by any person in a quan- tity in excess or his reasonable re- quirements for use or consumption by hitnsel( and dependents for a reason- able time. A reasonable time , has been inter- preted to mean two weeks, in or- dinary cases, so that while it is com- paratively . easy to evade the statch- fulness of the retailers in carrying out their Orders is to selling in great- er.quatitities, the penalty for doing so is too severe to warrant the risk. Vi'ith the increasing watchfulness of the administration and its improved facilities for checking up the hoard- ers, the danger of being detected is greater ever* day. We hope that nowt of our read- ers will lay themselves open to pros - et -mime on this charge, both because it would be expensive and unpatriotic. VIP No virtittAT SAVING EASIER In a new set of regulations, pro- mulgated in yesterday's proclamation of the president and taking effect throughout the country this week, Me food administration takes a business- like step . forward tpward saving wheat, wItich just now is the com- modity most needed by the nations beside which we are fighting. Public eating places are to have two wheat - less days instead of one, and private tables will be urged to make the same extension. Manufacturers of food products from wheat will be re- stricted to 70 per cent of their aver- age consumption of last year. Whole- salers must make a corresponding re- duction in their turnover of wheat products. A most important part of the new reglations is the assurance they give that hOtisewives will be able at all tithes to purchase a \victory\ loaf in which wheat substitutes are used. At first this loaf will contain 5 per cent of suPstitates, but this proportion will grow until in a few weeks 30 per rent of 'the \victory\ loaf will be solne cereal othee than wheat. It has been a commott complaint in the past that in many places it has been difficult to buy any but white bread, but here- after thete will be op need for any such demur. fly its new schedule the food ad- minkteation makes it easier for the Americas people to co-operate in tge- ing leheM. 3‘1,1 4ft Mr , ItiGAT!r MO. ont, without 1#1.1 cçq die plan caw sot succeed, for: \We hate , but one - police force—the kinerican \ \ °man\. If through indifference or selfishness co-operation fails and the \police force\ is unable to get results, compulsory rationing will be the only recourse the goversament has left. We must send wheat abrOad. If the 'people will not save it voluntarily stricter measures Will- have to be taken. But the wheadess idea is making such progress that possibility of. failure is happily remote.—Spokes- man Review. ' . • Ila Pa IS PEACE , COMING BY FORCE? It seems that the militarists of Ger- ita . ny started something they cannot stop when they entered into negoti- ations for Peace with Russia, especial - y •Since they have been' fOrced to :W- O that peace without' acnexations I vas not a part of their program. The lust for peace in this war -ridden coun- ry seems to have gotten the best of, the lust for blood which was so evi- lent at the beginning of the war, and there is a rapidly increasing demand hat the warlords Make good their trofessed anxiety to end/the struggle: NVhether or not the atesent agita- tion for peace will result in competi- ng the emperor and his henchmen to isten to their demands at this time, it is increasingly evident that they cannot much longer persist with their program. The increasing boldness with which the demands are made is an indication of the sticngth of a movement that will 'ultimately result in a radical change of policy or a revolution that will overthrow the house of Ilahenzedlern and establish in its place a reptcsentative govern- m(nt. The t Gerinatriwople, because of their year , of training, will be slow o follow such a - movement, but once it is hiirly started it will gail 1110 - la tuns v itlt a speed that will doubt - IC s B lin. i r i surprise some p‘rominent men in - BENJAMIN SOULE KILLED IN DESPERATE -STRUGGLE [Continued from Page 11 TICSS of taking evidence was com- menced. Saturday afternoon • the inquest proper started at the court house. County Attorney Parks conducted the exlmination of the witnesses, and Arthur Soule was represented by A. S. Ainsworth. The attendance was not very large , . Head Wound Caused Death The first witness called was Dr: E. D. Peek who had conducted the autopsy of the corpse. Dr. Peek described the nature of the injuries arid the probable effects, stating that death was the result of the head wound, with the bullet wound as a contributing factor. He said that or- dinarily such a fracture would cause instant death. After further exam- ination of the wounds he testified that the base of the skull was also frac- tured. Met Both Men on Road Al Holtman testified to meeting Benjamin Soule on the road near the blue slide about 10:30 Friday morn- ing and of meeting Arthur Soule about half an hour later, both travel- ing west, lie also testified of re- turning to the Soule ranch with the sheriff and coroner that evening and of identifying the body of the victim. Warned Ben Away Ernest Ross testified that he had been working with arthur Soule and Joe Soule M the camp on Squaw creek; that Arthur had told hint of his suspicious concerning Ben Soule and Mrs. Soule and that he had warned the young man to stay away from the place. He stated that Arthur had said \I suppose if I shot him en) they would get use for pre- meditated murder\ and Ross had re- plied that the thing to do was to cinch him. Continuing, lie told of Arthur Soules leaving for the ranch Friday morning about 9:30 o'clock to get some hay While the other two came to town. He described his meeting Arthur at the edge of town and of accompanying him to the hospital while Joe Soule continued home; he staled that after supper he went tp the ranch where he remained until the sheriff and coroner arrived and then brought Mrs. Soule to town. Ross appeared to be an unwilling witness and at one time it was neces- sary to threaten him with 'confine- ment in the jail before he would ans- wer the questions. Attorneys Clash • The session was enlivened at this time by I little argument between Attorneys Parks and Ainsworth. The latter had appeared for the first time in restainse to a summons as a wit- ness and the \eounly attorney desired to exclude him Troin the room until he was called to testify. Mr. Ains- worth objected on the grounds tbat he was representing Arthni gentle as attorney. Parks then objected to an attorney appearing for We but was overruled and the matter was settled by 'proceeding it ;h; ç 'nation , of kir. Ainsworth immedislely. Mi. Ainsworth testified to his relations as attorney for Arthur Soule in con- nection with the present affair, but declined to testify as to confidential relations with him previously. Mrs. Soule Unable to Talk During the testimony Mrs. Arthur Soule, accompanied by Mrs. Ben Soule and Mrs. R. R. Ross, appeared in answer to a summons and another argument took place ... as to the ad- missibility of her testimony. Mr. .ainsworth gave notite that he would decline to permit her, to talk, if she were called to the stand, and as she was evidently not in physical condi- tion to tcstifai, she 'was excused for the day. A dramatic incident occurred when an attempt was made to have Mrs. Arthur Soule sworn. When she seemed unable to rise, the widow of Ben Soule walked to her side and taking hold of her arm, urged her to talk,' saying, \You're responsibb for this; tell all about it\. Roy Ilart was next called and tes- tified as to what Mrs. Arthur Soule ' had tolehim o fthe events' leading up to the shooting. His testimony was - practically the'sante as the story told! in another column. Arthur Soule's Wounds At this time adjournment was taken tintil Tuesday. When the inquest was resumed Tuesday afternoon Dr. E. D. Peek was recalled and testified to the bullet wound sustained by Arthur Soule, which lie said entered the right shoulder jte , t above the clavicle and passed to a point just behind tilt spine. He also stated that there was a wound- an the head and that his back seerded tloc - ba lame. He said that Soule wa , not in condition to be Keinoved froni the hospital, that hi• had been irraiional at Limes, partici- ularly Sunday alien it was necessary to call in Deptity Sheriff Hart to re struin When questioned . regarding his re- fusal to permit the county attornc. to visit Soule, lw stated that the pa- tient was not in condition to be ex- cited and 'that turless the request came from Soule, no one would be per- mitted to see him. Lekivetz, the hospital nurse. testified to admitiiiterias first aid to Mr. Soule and as to the nature of his ittturies and his condition. Rifle Identified Sheriff Hartman was asked to iden- tify the rifle which was used by Aram, Soule. He testified to securing it at the A rthur Soule home where it had been taken following the shootinir:- ' - Ernest Ross 'Was recalled to the stand and asked further questions re- garding his relations and conversa- tions with Arthur Soule, but nothing of importance in addition to what he had previously told was brought out. Following a recess, the county at- torney announced that he desired to call no further witnesses, and the case was turned over to the jury. A scaled verdict was returped within a half hour and the hwy. dismissed. 4 it ti 3 it 4 it 3 4 RED CROSS NOTES U annnttnp.f nttnnnn A sweater which was knit by Jeff McKeel is on display at the Reel Cross headquarters as a gentle hint to the male members of the local branch. The workmanship on this garment is first class and is proof that the men deserve equal suffrage with the women in matters pertain- ing to the organization. The dance and supper Saturday evening netted the local PrganizatTosi the sum of $156, and pioVided an at joyable evening for those who it - tended. Music was furnished by tiers. Wm. Moser, H. 0.

The affair will be held at the power camp, baskets will be sold at a that rate of 30c and preparations are being made for a pleasant evening's entertain- ment. At this time also a $15 fish pole will be disposed of. The rod v,as purchased by the finance com- mittee at cost and is expected to make a ,neat little sum for the Red Cross fund. Another article which should bring itt some money for ,the work is a big doll- which. has bean dressed by Mrs. Jas. Green and Mrs. Ray Camp. It is planned to dispose of it at the aimc time. Nearly 25,000 children in France .ac receiving aid from the American Red Cross in France at the present linit, accordipg to a copy of a cable- - ram forwarded to the northern di - ion headquarters. Seven hundred children are receiv- ing complete medical care at the hands of the American Red Cross 'doctors and 3,060 are being treated ,,t the medical dispensaries of the American relief society. In addi- tion there are 20,300 orphans and other children who are being aided the Amerian lied Cross either di - Ft ctly or indirectly. The American Red Cross is also aiding 6000 Belgian children of whom it has 1000 in complete charge. Hos- pitals nnd other shelters for orphans and children 'from the ruined areas are , maintained as an important ac- tivity of the American Red Cross it, road. Children who have long gone un- washed, many of them infected and seriously ill, receive tender and in - t elligent care. Not only as a work inevy;• butt because it helps insure the Welfare of the coming genera- tion, this child welfare work of-the, Nmerican Red Cross is rogarded as .ti immense value. The following, taken front a bul- 1 tin of the national council of de - shows the status of the Red Cross in relation to the go - eanmcnt ind should convince any skeptics of is reliability: 'The American Red Cross is or- arlized under act of congress: Its president is the president of the l • nited States. Its charter requires that one-third of the members of the governing board shall be appointed by the president and that there shall be one representative Of the war, navy, state, treasury and justice de- partments. The entire war council of the United'States is appointed by the president of the United States. Congress, by its charter, directed that it should act in matters of relief in accord with the military and naval authorities of the United States and as a medium of communication be- tween the people of the United States and their army and navy. The char- ter of the Red Cross provides that its accounts shall be audited annually by the war department. \Therefore it is unnecessary for the council of defense to call upon the Red Cross to report as to organ- ization, audit and accpunts. The name of the Red Cross should, with- out further preliminaries, appear at the head of any list of approved or- ganizations published by your coun- cil\.
