FACED DANGERS TO REGISTER
Oil Man Walked Eleven Miles and
Swan Flooded Streams.

Ellsworth, Kan.-Heavy rains and
swollen streams almost compelled
Carl Holt of this city to miss register
ing. Holt is a tool dresser for the
Shamrock Gushing oil drill. eleven
miles southeast of Ellsworth. He was
required to register here.
When Holt, late in the afternoon,
started to drive into Ellsworth with
his car he found himself cut of by
streams which had flooded and wash
ed out the bridges.
He promptly discarded the car,
swan the creek and started to walk
the eleven miles to Ellsworth. In the
course of his walk he found it neces-
sary to navigate other streams in a like
manner. Fifteen minutes before 8,
wet, muddy and tired, he rushed into
the registration hall and signed his
name to the card.

When horses were first hitched to
vehicles the driver never thought Of
riding himself, but walked by the side
of the road as be held the lines. So as
to have his right hand always ready
he walked on the left side. and conse
quently the horse on the left side came
to be known as the near horse and
the one on the right side was called
the off, horse. In that manner the
terms near horse and "off horse" be-
came general and still pertain to horses
hitched as team.

RED CROSS WOMEN
IN RUMMAGE SALE
MAKE ELABORATE PLANS TO
RAISE FUNDS FOR THE
GREAT CAUSE
Fair warning!

dll al nlhS.
That Red Cross rummage sale starts
in Moscow Monday morning to run
through the week to Saturday night.
Good time to clean house, what?
The store room adjoining the Red
Cross headquarters on Third street,
the former home of the Sanitary Mar
ket, has been secured for the rum
mage sale. This will be open bright
and early Monday morning for the re-
ceipt of all contributions. If the wom-
en- of Moscow have no way of getting
their stuff down to the market, the
women of the Red Cross will be glad
to send after it when notified of it's
existence.
But this is to be more than rum
mage sale. 1t is to be in reality a
municipal market as well for one
week. The women of the Red Cross
are especially anxious to get dona
tions of canned fruit. They estimate
that if each housewife in Moscow will
contribute one jar of canned fruit it
can be sold to advantage and will as
sist tremendously in building up the
war fund.
Nor is this all. The good women
living in the country are urged to
contribute fresh vegetables, apples
and other fruit. These can also be
sold to advantage and will be gladly
received from any who can spare
them.
Those in charge have added Mrs.
George N. Lamphere, Mrs. Howard
David and Mrs. Charles Shields to the
committee. All are hustling to make
this rummage sale one of the big
events of the Red Cross year.

WASHINGTON. = The Red Cross
Grayson Mp. Murphy is head, has re-
ceived the following letter from Adju-
tant General Benjamin Alsord of Gen
eral Pershing's staff:
"Our army is keeping war diary
which is to be the official record of the
war here. l have received an official
communication from the commander in
chief of the American Expeditionary
Forces reading as follows:
1T is well to place on record the
attitude Of the management of the
American Red Cross in France. From
the beginning they have simply wanted
to know what they could do to assist in
the great work before the army. The
gentlemen at the head Of the American
Red Cross in France are men of great
experience in handling large affairs
in the United States, and they have ex-
hibited wonderful resources in accom-
plishing everything they have been
asked to do.

ward to the war department for

LIBRARY CAMPAIGN
FOR SOLDIER BOOKS
WHAT NATIONWIDE MOVEMENT
FOR $1,OOO,OOO is INTENDED
TO ACCOMPLISH

Library War Fund week will strike
cradle force and enthusiasm neverthe-
less This campaign is for money, ST.
100000, and not for books. Contribu-
tions of books can be looked on only
as supplementary to the million-dollar
cash fund. By the present plan, no
money is being solicited for camp lib
rary purposes by any organization
other than the American Library as
sociation.
Not a penny of the money subscribed
will be used in the expenses of the
campaign; that cost has been met by
private subscription. The work is to
raise, in conjunction with the Amer
lean Library association, $1,000,000
for the erection and establishment of
equipped libraries for the camps, can
tonments, the field hospitals, the troop
ships;-wherever American soldiers
and sailors are gathered together.
"A survey VI tuG W1OlG uSlQ uO-
termined that 81 will furnish a book,
keep it in circulation, replace it when
it is worn out, and at the same time
pay a share of the expense of properly
housing and caring for the libraries in
the various camps.
The forthcoming countrywide can
vass is designed to equip the Amer
lean Library association to assume the
responsibility it faces in the war. 1t
must follow and furnish to the soldiers
and sailors, libraries and reading mat
ter which will sustain the morale of
the men in whatever phase of service
they may be engaged. No other organ
ization can accomplish this with the
same degree of success and economy.
The army and navy will fight more eff
and the end of the war will
be- hastened through this medium.
Plans are not yet definitely made
for the campaign in Moscow but with
in a few days there will be an an
made of the plan of action

YOUNG'S0LD|ERS
START FOOTBALL
GREAT COLLEGE GAME TO HAVE
PLACE OF HONOR AT
CAMP LEWIS

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash.-The
football season has opened at Camp
Lewis. Several teams are being or
ganized and some of the best players
on the coast are in the camp.
Here are some of the men who are
turning out for practice: Lieutenant
Russell, last years center with Cali
fornia: Lieutenant Morst, formerly
guard with the University of Cincin-
natl; CAPPED, for four years with the
Utah Agriculture college eleven; Chas.
Kelly, former guard with California;
Dury, former end with the University
of Chicago; Lieutenant Bell, end from
Southern California; Lieutenant Ever
ett May, former coach and manager of
athletics at the Oregon Agriculture
college: Speck Hurlburt, of Multno-
NAH club; and Lieutenant Hutchinson
California.
And that's only few of them. One
officer, a former college player, said
today that a couple of hundred football
teams could be formed here from men
with previous experience when the or
ganization of the camp is completed.
A team representing the 362nd reg
iment will probably meet the Seattle
naval militia team in the Tacoma sta
dium on Thanksgiving day.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.-Warning
against the dream of early peace, LORD
Northcliffe psade. a stirring appeal to-
day to the Hmeffcan Bankers Associa-
tion convehtion for a pull together
spirit.
''The Hun must be crushed" he de-
clared. 1--WE find a remarkable un-
animity of thought and purpose" he
continued; between the kaiser, the
junkers and the mass of the German
people. The German food situation is
better The Huns task at the front
is easier because defense is easier than
attack. Finally Germany lives in a
circle and can continue the fight long
time, spending her own money among
her own people"
Benjamin Strong, governor of the
New York Federal Reserve bank, de-
clared that confidence in the American
banking system was essential to the
successful prosecution of the war.

YOUNG HUSTLER
TO QUIT MOSCOW
FRED C.. MCGOWAN TO ENTER REAL
ESTATE BUSINESS IN
POCATELLO

F.. c. MCGOWAN, who for two and a
half years has been general sales
manager for the Idaho National H4r-
vester company, has acquired half in
& Gray of Pocatello and will leave
in few weeks with his family for his
new home in the southern part of
the state.
During the Is years Mr.. MCGOWAN
has lived in this section of the coun-
try, nearly all of the time in Latah
business, community, social and polit-
| ical activities of this section, and his
many friends will regret the departure
of himself and his estimable family.
In the first years of his work in
the west to which he came from an
editorial position with the Milwaukee
Free Press, he was identified with the
Potlatch Lumber company as private
secretary to A. W. Laird, later as pur-
chasing agent and again as land agent
for that concern.
Severing his interest with this COM
pany he, in partnership with H. P.
Henry, now of Portland, Oregon, put
the townsite of Deary on the market
and it is undoubtedly due to Mr.. Nc
Gowan's ability to give to any enter
prise with which he is connected that
kind of publicity which is lasting that
resulted in making Deary one of the
most stable and prosperous of the
small towns of Latah county.
He has served Latah county twice
as representative i'll the state legisla-
ture, and was ranked as one of the
strong men of the Republican party in
that organization. At the last session,
he was floor leader of the Republican
party and acquitted himself in that
responsible position as leader of the |
with credit to himself and to
the county which he represented. AL
ways a staunch friend of education, he
did his "bit" for the university, being
one of the leaders in the fight to give
to our educational institutions the fin
ancial backing that they are entitled to
from a great and growing state. He
has been prominently identified with
the Chamber of Commerce and has
been tireless in his agitation for good
roads in this county and for the build
ing of state roads throughout this
section.
While regretting his departure, he
BELIEVES that business interests demand
lis departure to his new home where
le will undoubtedly occupy position
If prominence similar to that which
lie has enjoyed here.

declared they were sick of the war.
They said the losses in their troops
