Reduce Price of Bread National Guaid to Front

The food administration prepared Wednesday to take over the entire 1917 wheat crop if necessary to stabilize prices throughout the year. * It formed a fifty-million dollar corporation, with all of the stock held by the federal govern­ment, to buv and sell wheat at the principal terminals.

The move was the first of a series to be taken to reduce the price of bread. Millers already have agreed to put themselves under voluntary regulations and are working out with the ' food administration a differential of profits. Distribut­ion of our flour by wholesalers and the baking of bread will be taken up next.

The hope of the administration is to establish a scale of prices from the farm to the grocery store, eliminating undue profits and end­ing speculation. The maintenance of a standard price for wheat, its officials believe, is the first and most necessary step.

In announcing formation of the wheat corporation, the food admini­stration also made known the per­sonnel of a committee which will fix a price to be paid for this year’s wheat yield, and the names of thirteen men who will act as pur­chasing agents for the corporation at terminals.

The wheat corporation will be put under the administration’s grain division. Its chairman will be Herbert Hoover and its presi­dent, Julius Barnes, a Duluth ex­porter, now serving as a voluntary aid in the food administration. The price fixing committee will be headed by President Garfield of Williams college, and will comprise twelve members, representing pro­ducers and consumers.

The wheat corporation will handle all allied grain purchases and will do the buying for the American government.

Plans for sending the first nation­al guard troops to France have been perfected by the war department with the organization of a division which will include troops from 26 states and the District jof Columbia.

The states from which the nation­al guard troops are to be assembled are: Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Wis­consin, New York, Ohio, Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois. Indiana, Minnesota, Maryland, South Carol­ina, California, Missouri, Virginia, North Carolina, Kansas, Texas, Michigan, New Jersey, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, Oregon. The others come from the District of Columbia.

The commanding officer of the division will be Brigadier General W. A. Mann of the regular army, now chief of the division of militia affairs of the war department.

Discussion of the time and place of mobilization of the division or of its departure for France are not permissible under the voluntary censorship. The structure of the division as given in the official statement shows it will conform to the reduced trench warfare division­al organization recommended by Major General Pershing, which would give it a total strength, with auxiliary troops, of approximately 20,000 men.

Atchison Loses Hat

The concrete work was finished on the Kendrick Warehouse & Mill­ing Company’s elevator Monday night, Mr. Atchison thereby losing a hat to Mr. Georg, the contractor, who made a wager to the effect that the concrete work would be finished not later than Wednesday of this week. There were very few delays on the job and the crew on both the day and night shifts, did excellent work.

It will take some time to get all the machinery installed and the wood work, such as the cupola and roof, finished, but Mr. Atchison states that by the end of next week the elevator will be in shape to re­ceive grain. There will be no question as to the storage capacity of Kendrick’s elevators and ware­houses this season. There will be room to spare for the 1917 crop.

The entire 670,000 men compos­ing the first increment of the army draft forces will be under training early in October. Under orders is­sued from Washington, the first thirty percent of the quota of each district will begin entrainment for cantonments September 5, the next thirty percent September 15 and another thirty percent September 30. The remaining ten percent will be mobilized as soon after that date as possible.

The plan to assemble the new forces in three - increments dis­tributes the task of furnishing sup­plies in any camp and will give the new officers from the training camps time to familiarize themselves with their duties gradually before re­sponsibility for a great body of men falls on them.

In farming communities local boards now will arrange the lists of those to fill the first increment with local crop conditions in mind Drafted men engaged in that work and who otherwise would go with the first third of the district quota will be passed over to the second or third, as may be necessary.

Red Cross Pharmacy Sold

On Saturday (tomorrow) Moscow will entertain all of Latah county’s men who are registered for military service, providing they will all be in Moscow on that date to be enter­tained. A program consisting of music, patriotic speaking, athletic sports, pavement dancing etc. has been arranged.

By the unanimous vote of the committee the members of the Civil war and Spanish war veterans were added to the 1672 men whose names are on the registration roll for the present war. A special in­vitation and badge were sent to all the registered men.

All badges will be honored at the door of the picture shows. The en­tire program except the ball game will be held in the down town dist­rict.

R. S. Newton of Harrison pur­chased the Red Cross Pharmacy from H. Busse this week and took charge of the store Thursday morn­ing. Mr. Newton owned a drug store in Harrison which was de­stroyed by the big fire prior to coming here. He is a registered pharmacist and has had quite ex­tensive experience in that line of work. He spent some time in Troy before going to Harrison.

Mr. Newton, like many others in Kendrick, has found it imposs­ible to get a house to rent. His wife will come to Kendrick as soon as he finds a residence.

Mr. Busse has not fully decided what his plans for the future will be and he expects to take a vaca­tion of several weeks to recuperate after his labors in the store.

Home Guaid Meeting

The Juliaetta Cannery is making a very good run this vear consider­ing the dry weather conditions it has had to contend with. The cherry run is practically over and they are now in the midst of the bean run which will be followed with tomatoes.—Independent.

The Home Guard met in the band stand of the town park Monday eve­ning and transacted routine busi­ness. Action was started with ref­erence to procuring a flag pole that would do credit to the town. Mar­tin Thomas has offered to donate the pole providing ihe Home Guard would furnish a team to transport it from the woods to the corner of the park, where it is to be set. It is thought arrangements can be made to get the pole in the near future.

Art Hartinger, George Carlson, Harry Grice, and Ernest Clem left for Spokane Wednesday to enlist in the United States Military service providing they can get into the de­partments of their choice.

August weather has not dulled the pleasure spirit of the Okoke Klootchman Club members who were entertained by Mrs. G. S. Porter Thursday evening in comp­liment to Mr. and Mrs. Hans Flo.

The rooms were beautifully de­corated in goldenglow and ferns. Dainty sprays of wood fern formed a lattice work over the archways, and large baskets of heavier ferns throughout the rooms added a touch of green to the gold color scheme brought out by huge boquets of goldenglow, and yellow shaded candles.

Dainty cakes and ices arranged in shades of yellow and white carried out effectively the tones of the decorations.
