BUYS FOR UNCLE SAM

BY an act of congress a commit
tee was established in 1910 to prepare
specifications, receive the proposals
of bidders and to award contracts for
government supplies. This committee
Is known as the general supply COM
mittee and consists of representatives
from the executive departments and
federal commissions. DR.. o. H. Briggs
was made superintendent of the COM
mittee. His duties are detailed and
manifold. He was formerly superin-
tendent of supplies at the post Office
department.
By means of the committee a
wider range of business is done than
is handled by any other corporation
in any country in the world. One of
the first rules is efficiency, and eff
cheney in their particular line means
economy. Economy for the United

BRITAIN'S HEAD NURSE

Before the war the staff of mill
tary nurses in Great Britain numbered
298. Today the number Of those under
the control of the war office-every
one of whom possesses a certificate
of training Of at least three years
numbers $685. And, taking into &C
count those supplied by the Red Cross
and the auxiliary agencies, 10000 wom-
en- today are devoting their lives and
energies to the care of the soldiers OF
Great Britain.
Miss E. H. Becher, r. r. c.. whose
official title is that of matron in chief,
is responsible for the army of nearly
1000 military nurses. From her room
in the war Office she controls the en-
tire organization and supplies the calls
for nurses that come to her from the
varied regions where British forces
are operating. But one sees no signs
of nervous haste or business about
her. Apart from her gray uniform

CALL GOVERNOR TO ACCOUNT
FOR MISREPRESENTATION

The Republican members of the
state land board showed their dis
pleasure Of the antics of the COVER
nor's personal organ when at a meet
ing of the land board last week the
governor was taken to task for his
statement in the Capital News which
sought to make it appear that the
governor was the only member of
the land board who favored foreclos-
ure upon past due land loans. In
the early part of January the board
passed resluotion authorizing the
attorney general to foreclose upon all
loans in arrears previous to January
LIST, 1914. The governor with other
members of the board, although vot
ing for the resolution. urged that in
some cases the state would no doubt
be better off if an opportunity was
given for land values in Ada and ad-
| joining counties to revive, these loans
having been made for the state by
previous land boards at a time when
land values in these counties were at
high tide.
When the News made the governor
appear as being in favor of these fore
closures on land loans. he was con-
fronted by Miss Mccoy as to his at
titude on the land board. The gov
ernor stated that he was not interested
in what the News said and had moth
ing to do with what appeared in tha
paper.
This led to inquiries from the boaro
as to where the News secured its IN
formation in relation to board meet
ings and board doings. Secretary o
State Barker maintained that Their,
