Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1917-04-26

This command has been instituted
by our President for our Country's
good. and we earnestly request that
the farmers of Lincoln County will
join with the committee in carrying
out this-the Country's first call for
your assistance Boost the move
ment along, Put in as much new
land as possible and try to get your
neighbor TO do the same. but above
all things try to keep any person in
your vicinity from knocking" and
let us show to the State Of Idaho and
to the entire nation that Lincoln
County has again maintained her re
putation for loyalty TO the flag, to our
Government and to its citizens
The committee at its meeting re
quested that the Board OF Trustees
in every school district of the County
should assist in the patriotic move
ment by having flag display in
every room of the school buildings
and also have the pupils in each
room taught the words and music of
the Star Spangled Banner and
America.
1t has also been urgently requested
that every citizen in Lincoln County
display either on his building or on
the flag pole located near the same
our Country's flag. These small dis
plays of loyalty add but little to your
expense or to your trouble but show
loyalty and patriotism and set an ex-
ample that few American citizens will
not be pleased to follow.
In order that the work of the com
mittee may be put upon more prac-
teal basis you are requested to fill
out the blank spaces on the dotted
lines and return the following re-
port to either your local committee
man or to Paul S. Haddock. Chair
man at Shoshone. Idaho.

TO RELIEVE HARDSHIPS
Men Wrongly Drafted May Be
Excused From Service

A method OF relieving hardships
in cases where men who should
have been exempted have been
ordered to report for military SER
vice or have entered camps has
been prescribed by Provost Mar
shall General Crowder.
/. If a local or district board be-
Iieyes a man has been wrongly
ordered to report for duty it may
reopen the case on its own initiative
and revoke the former action.
If the man has already entered
the service, be may be discharged
only BY order OF the army adiutant-
general. who will act on recon-
mendations OF local or district
boards.
Another ruling provides that
thousands OF aliens who registered
for the draft June 5 and who since
that date have declared their in
tention of becoming citizens are
now subject to draft.

man would like special training
along any certain line she may
be able to secure it through regis
tration under THE Council of De-
fense."
All women can do this much for
the government register where
you might take the mems position
land help the government deter
mine the woman power.
The registration is voluntary;
women will not be drafted into the
government service.
The governor of Tennessee has
asked each woman to register on
October 10. The mayor Of each
city is issuing a like proclamation,
and the pastors Of each church have
set aside Sunday, October Z, TO
talk on the work.

KNITTED ARTICLES
Much Energy, Time and Laber
Is Being Wasted

With all womankind knitting
for the soldiers and sailors, the
comforts committee of the Navy
League finds that much energy,
time and labor is being wasted be-
cause needless and useless articles
are being knitted. In order to Sc
cure concerted action and to secure
articles that can be utilized, circu-
lars giving instructions in knitting,
also reciting what articles are
needed, are being distributed. The
acceptance and wearing of the fol-
lowing articles under such restris-
tions as commanding officers may
prescribe, is authorized:
Sleeveless jackets of gray wool,
mittens of gray wool, mufhers.
blue or perfectly gray wool, wrist
lets of gray wool, helmets of gray
wool and articles.
The Red Cross is also doing a
great work along the same line as
the comforts committee and de-
sires the foregoing articles also.

MUCH POLITICS
Next Year Promises to be Inter-
esting Along Political Lines

The year 1918 will not be lack
ing in political interest. Locally
we will have a municipal election
next March, in which a mayor,
recorder and six aldermen are to
be elected. This election some
times gets quite interesting, but
we know of no plans that will
bring on a contest of a very ami
mated nature in the next election.
There is plenty of time yet, how
ever, for much interest to get into
the election Of the officials.
The field is full Of aspirants for
places on the benches of the ap-
pellate courts, and they are even
now not allowing any grass to
grow under their feet. The nom
mating convention will be held
about the middle of December, and
the nominees of this convention
will be elected next August. There
are some fine men in this contest.
The county election comes at the
same time and there is some little
talk Of the republicans nominated
by the recent primary having dem
ocratic opponents. If this suppo-
sition prove true, some interest
may attach to this election.
Governor Rye's successor must
be named and a United States SEN
ator nominated to succeed John X.
Shields. There will be at least
three democrats seeking the CUB
ernatorial nomination. with the
same number of candidates for the
senate, the incumbent, Governor
Rye and Hon. Charles I. Gates,
Jr., and so. altogether, the greater
part of the new year may be ex-
pected to fairly sizzle with politics
from Garter to Shelby"
Judge "A. H. Rogers, Austin
Peay and Ed Albright, all of Mid
die Tennessee, are spoken of in
connection with the democratic
gubernatorial nomination.
The republican party has not
shown its hand yet. OF course
candidate for governor represent
ing that party will De put in the
field in due time, but Just who win
get the honor has not been re-
yeaIed. 1t is certain not to Do

REWARD FOR DESERTERS
Government win Pay $50 for
Their Apprehension


Fifty dollars reward will be paid
by the government for the appre-
hension Of every deserter delivered
to the nearest army camp or post.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
designated as a deserter any regis
tered person who fails to report
for military service to the adju-
tant-general Of the state BY the
date specified in the order Of the
acknowledgement. Through the
council of defense the following
has been sent to all local boards:
Attention is directed to the fol-
lowing from Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder and request made
that the widest possible publicity
be given the same;
"A reward Of $50 is payable
for the delivery at the nearest
army camp or post of a deserter.
This reward is in full satisfac-
ton of all expenses incurred in
said delivery.
A person who fails to report
to his local board for military SER
vice at the time specified in his
order to report is a deserter
A person who fails to report
for military service to the adju-
tant-general Of the state specified
in the order Of the adjutant-gen-
eral to said person is a deserter.
1t is highly desirable from
every standpoint that an effort now
be made to round up all persons
who are delinquent in reporting
for military service. It. thought
that if the fact of reward is given
the widest publicity we shall have
a great force OF police officers and
even of individuals interested in
bringing such delinquents under
military control. If, after such
persons are brought to a military
authority, it appears to the mill
tary authority that their delin-
quency is not wilful, they will be
forwarded to a mobilization camp
and their local board will be given
credit. Ifitappears that the delin-
quency is wilful they will be prose.
cuted before court-martial as de-
serters.
+" In either case the reward is
payable. Respectfully,
Tom c. RYE, Governor.

JACKSON ELIMINATED
Opposition to Training Camp
Puts End TO Contest

The citizens of jackson having
charge of the campaign to secure
the army rifle range for Jackson
have been informed by the war
department that Jackson and Mad
ison county had been eliminated
from the contest because of the
opposition that had arisen in the
eastern part of Madison county
and from the city OF Lexington
and other parts of Henderson and
Carroll counties.
This puts an end to a most vig-
orous campaign waged by the
jackson association committee who
have left absolutely no stone un-
turned in order to try to get the
camp. Options bad been secured
on property and every preliminary
arrangement possible had been
made by the committee. Lieut.-
Col. Howell, of the scouting squad
Of the war department, stated that
jackson had an ideal site to offer,
but the opposition in Henderson
county killed any chance of get
ting the camp.

BENTON COUNTY LINK
Survey OF Highway Causing Good
Road Sentiment

The following appeared as a
special from Camden in Sundays
Nashville Banner:
THE survey of the Bristol-to-
Memphis highway, across Benton
county, has almost been completed
by the force of civil engineers en-
ployed to survey the route. The
route comes into Benton county at
Sales Landing on Tennessee river
and goes from there via Camden
on the old stage road to near Hol-
low Rock, where it reaches the
Carroll county line. There is
more sentiment in Benton county
since this survey began for this
road than at any time in it's past
history. and it would not be sur
prising to see u real movement for
good roads inaugurated in Benton
county"
The surveying party is coming
this way and will soon be to the
Carroll county line. We hope the
survey of the highway through
Carroll county will cause an in
crease of good roads sentiment in
this county and it very likely will
have that effect. We suppose the
surveying party will be in this
county before many weeks.

WOnan's Registration

Miss Sue White, of jackson,
state chairman of registration)for
the committee, Council Of National
Defense, spoke to an interested
audience ia the court house, OK.
planning the aims and purposes of
the registration of women.
At the conclusion of her address,
Mrs. Neill Wright was elected
chairman, Miss Viola Cook, vice
chairman, Miss RebeCca Bayer,
treasurer, and Miss Mary Haw-
kins. secretary.
This is FerE worthy organiza-
ton, and the club women of every
state OF the uuion, as well as wo-
men who are not club members,
are deyoting their time and ener-
gies to patriotic endeavor and war
relief work.
For those who are not familiar
with this organization, we would
like to state that registration day
is simply a call of the government
for a census of the woman power
of the country that, if it comes to
the worst, the women may be
trained to fill the positions left va
