TO COORDINATE oReANIZA-
TIONS

Coordination of the various pat
riotic organizations as the Liberty
loan, food control, Red Cross, Y. M. C..
A., and women's work, etc, will be
taken up with the complete reorgani-
zation of the council and the creation
of the county councils. This it Is be-
lieved will prevent duplication of
work, solidify movements that are
statewide in their scope and bring
about the closest kind of CO. operation.
In order that the council can carry
out its plans on much more extern
sive scale than heretofore, perfect its
statewide organization as q unit be-
hind such important movements as are
desired, central headquarters will be
maintained in Boise, suite of rooms
being procured for that purpose which
will be in charge of Secretary Joseph
Hansen under whom will be q corps OF
stenographers.
I'VE plan to make the work Of the
council as recognized, more COM
prehensive, more perfect, more co-or-
dinate and effective" said DIR. Bryan
ITO do this it is necessary that no,
only every county have a county coun-
Gil of defense, but the counties them
selves be thoroughly reorganized. BY
maintaining central headquarter.
closer touch can be kept with the var.
ious units working under the direction
of the council. No time will be lost II
the county organization work. From
now on all questions that a state
council of defense should properly dea
with, will be taken up and carried

PERSONAL ORGANIZATION.


Members Of the executive committee
OF the state council will personally
supervise the organization of the
counties. Mrs S. H. Hays, the only
woman member of the council, chair
man of the women's committee, will
organize the Washington county coun-
Gil. Secretary Hansen will leave for
the southeastern part of the state this
week and proceed with the organiza-
ton of councils in the various counties
there. DIR. Bryan will go north and
organize one of the county coun-
Perez and Kootenai counties. James
f. Ailshie's assistance will be secured
in organizing some of the other
counties in the panhandle. Henry z.
Johnson will organize Canyon county;
]. T. Pence, Washington and Gem
counties; Robert McCracken, counties
along the Oregon Short Line railroad
between Ada and Bannock counties.
Ada county will be organized by the
executive committee. The other coun-
ties in the state will be organized by
members of that committee just as
rapidly as is possible.
FOLLOW NATIONAL COUNCIL.
The fundamental principle underly.
ing the county organization plan is to
utilize the various working units
within those counties, so that they will
not be at cross purposes. The county
councils, 1t was explained, will pattern
after the state council in the matter
of their organization, each county hav-
liz its own chairman and standing
committee. The state council Is pat
termed after the national council OF
defense. When the organization Is
complete there will be in existance
within the state of Idaho not only a
state council, but Al county councils
all of which will work as one force
under the national council which has
its headquarters at Washington, d
C.
MANY IMPORTANT PROBLEMS
It lie expected that as the war opens
up on a larger scale insofar as the
United States Ii concerned, that thu
state council OF defense will be giver
many important assignments which
will command all of its energy to sat
isfactorily perform. Grave problems
face the nation now but many NOR
e. serious viii follow and the stat
councils will be required to make man!

DISlOYALTY DISCUSSED.

Regarding the matter of investigat-
ing charges of disloyalty. which was
discussed freely by members of the
executive committee, it is known that
the council has given the matter SER
ious consideration and that it will
even more extensively investigate such
charges as are now or in the future
come before it. When the council reor-
ganized this question was discussed
and considered at length.
The maximum membership for the
county councils will be 10. but in this
latitude will be allowed to enable those
counties which desire larger mem
bership to exercise discretion in the
matter. On the recommendation OF
the state council, the members of the
county units will be appointed direct

CARELESSNESS.
(By Armeda NJ. Wylie, District Nurse
Of Danville, Va.)

Carelessness Is your worst enemy
Its temptations are great, presenting
itself to you In various forms. 1t
seeks the rich and poor, presenting
itself to the groceryman as insanitary
| food stuff; housewives as dust or dirt
garbage cans, filthy yards, cuspidors
and many other unclean surround.
ngs. Closets have been found In
rooms in which food was stored
These are often in filthy conditions.
Food found in such places is liable
to- become infected with dangerous
germs. 1t is a well known fact that
flies often act as carriers Of diseased
germs. They seek all ,inclean places
then wander into the house making
themselves useful in giving out these
germs to whatever they may come in
contact. Babies need protection
from these insects, especially babies
who are artificially fed
On visiting home one day, there
laid baby nursing bottle, flies
swarming profusely around IT., baby
almost asleep. When. mother was
questioned concerning the baby being
left alone in taking it's feeding, her
reply was that the baby always nursed
itself to sleep, then would awake and
finish it's milk. Carelessness has
caused this mother to lay her baby as
a dangerous victim to some dreaded
disease which may result in malaria
or typhoid fever, tuberculosis, dyson
terry, diarrhea or some other disease
Which may be conveyed to the baby's
mouth through this angry looking
fy-specked nipple.
Through carelessness the entire
world has been aroused into enor-
nous confusion through q little care
less attack upon one little Austrian
ship, of which the entire world must
shoulder the burden Of war. The
race riot which took place in East
Stu. fa0ai & May +, Q 9th occurred

zation OF the seriousness of the situa.
ticm caused by this terrible war into
which, though greatly against our
wishes and desires, we have been
drawn. Therefore, we must under all
circumstances and conditions, prove
ourselves loyal and patriotic during
the continuance Of this war, and must
III all things support tho Government
even as we did on registration day.
This country Is our home, and in
It's defense slackers should not be
tolerated among us. Let us stand
shoulder to shoulder with our white
brother, and do our best to win the
victory for God and humanity. We
may not be able to do much financial
~ to h,lp tn poor and suffering in
Belgium and France, but let us not
fail to contribute our bit.

visions varied from 35c decline TO a
rise of 1oc.
Smoothness which characterized the
transfer of wheat business to the gov
ernment resulted in some degree from
the fact that receipts We're only sutIi-
cient here and elsewhere to meet cur
rent milling requirements. In any
event. however. the merchandising of
wheat arriving in Chicago no longer
took place on the board of trade, but

the upward tendency of the corn mar

that the plant was not making the
