DIR. HOxsEY HEARS FROM SONS

Doctor Hoxsey is in receipt of let
tiers this week from his sons George
and Edwin both of whom are now
on the "other side" Edwin, writ
ing from Camp Mills, New York on
the 10th of December, stated that
they were packing up and that he
would not be able to write again
for several weeks. He said Camp
Mills was about the coolest spot he
had been in for a long time. One
night he placed his canteen near
his pillow and by midnight the wat
er was frozen solid.
Georges letter was written at sea,
and mailed on their arrival in Eng
land. He says very little about the
trip except that it was uneventful.
He did not get seasick and says he
never missed a meal although they
had some pretty rough weather. He
closes by saying that he would write
a good long letter in the near fu-
ture. The doctor is wearing three
stars on his coat these days which
means he has three sons in the war.
Harry his oldest son is in the artil-
lery, present whereabouts unknown.

All this is so, because the desired
unity in action, purpose and under

JAN. 7 TO IL HOUSEKEEPER'S
WEEK AT PULLMAN COLLEGE
Every Community Should Send A
Representative There-Valuable
Fund of Information To Be
Had

The women OF 1e0VenWorCh
should make arrangements to send
representative to Pullman. Mem
bers of the State College faculty
have been in conference with the
authorities at Washington and come
back with message to deliver to
the women of every community in
the state of Washington. The week
of Jan. Z to II will be employed by
the Home Economics department of
the college to deliver this message
and also to give visitors the benefit
of the combined housekeeping know
ledge and experience of every house
keeping school in this country.
Speaking of this matter, Mary E.
Sutherland, state leader of the
Home Economies Extension Service,
says:
at is easy to assume that in a
nation of the wealth, power, and
ideals of the United States, victory
will come of course. What we shall
pay for victory is the question of
the hour.
You and l, and every one of us,
from the youngest child to the
feeble aged, will pay dearly for vic
tory, if there is not on the part of
every able-bodied American, imme-
diate, enthusiastic, and unqualified
response to the nations appeal for
help from the American homes.
Not only is this war of soldier
against soldier, but it is a war of
home against home. DIR. Harvey
Wiley spoke the truth recently when
he said that it was the women at
home who are fighting the war.
When the American home breaks
down and women fail in their duty
Americas armies are defeated.
There must be in every American
home, not in few here and there,
saving reservation, utmost skill and
forethought, down to the last ounce
and stitch of all home supplies.
This was the order and the practice
in Germany on the first day of Ger
many's war with the world, and is
true in Germany today. Funda-
mentally, this is why Germany now
is able to assemble on the western
front, the forces to strike what mil
itary observers in the world outside
of Germany believe may be her har-
dest blow of the war.
The homes of Washington must
prepare for that blow, and for sub
sequent blows, from the most power
full and the most ruthless energy
that the world has ever seen. Mem
bers of the Extension Service of the
State College have recently returned
from the nations capital where con-
ferences were held with Mr.. Hoover,
Secretary Houston, Secretary Dan
iels and others. The hour is full of
great consequences; and every
neighborhood, town and city should
De represented at Housekeeper's
week for the sake of the informa-
ton that can thus be sent back into
different parts of the state.
Women's clubs, social groups and
business organizations turnout the
state, should see to it that they are
represented at Housekeeper's Week

forth" he says, the power of the i'm

THAT status must be altered in
such fashion as to prevent any such
hideous thing from ever happening
again" ssaGlo
