school and the Kenyon freshmen.
Russell Eastman, who was captain of
the high school basketball team last
year, will play with the Kenyon
freshmen. 1t is noted that the Ken

are to be played outside of the town,
there is great rivalry between the
classes for the championship.

THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD ACT

Strong Endorsement of the recent move in this sec
ton against the l. W. W. from Arizona. There
as here, Industry has suffered and authority wa
by the members of this organization to such
that the people and took the law into the
hands giving proof that violence beges violence
The Graham Guardian in Arizona has this to say:
- 1.-The |. w w. might be easily handled
and put out of existence if the federal govern
ment would get busy and place the arch enemy of
ali government William Haywood behind the bars
.on a charge of treason in the time of war Along
with Haywood should go every member of the l. W.
W. a special effort being made to get the big leaders
first No sympathizer of the l. ". W. propaganda
should enjoy the liberty of this country only long
enough to place him Jail to await trial for treason
There is no room in this country for people like
Haywood Berkman. and the female species repre-
scented bv Emma Goldman. No form of government
suits them because they do not believe in govern
ments."

practice and learn to make every shot

practice and learn to make every shot
count
In modern warfare the intrenching
tool is an essential part of your fight
ing equipment. The eight men in each
squad carry these tools: 4 shovels
y pick mattocks, l polo or hand-ax,
and wire-cutter. In ordinary soil
you can quickly throw up shallow
trench which will protect you to a
great extent from the enemy's fire. Az
ter a trench has once been started, it
can be deepened and extended, even
in the face of the emmy, without the
soldier exposing himself to direct fire.
Don't look on practice in digging
trenches as if it were drudgery. Skill
in seeking and making cover from the
enemy's fire is far from being a sign of
weakness on the soldiers part. Rath-
er it is sign of the determination
and courage that mark really effic-
lent fighting force. The day has gone
by when either officers or men are ex-
pected to stand out in the open. They
should use every effective method of
self-protection so long as it helps to
gain ground and defeat the enemy.

WHEN PEACE COMES TO THE WORLD

There is much idle about peace these days There
is speculation as to what Germany will insist upon and
what the kaiser will be willing to accept.
All this may be brushed aside immaterial. When
peace comes back to this distracted old world the
kaiser and his cohorts will have mighty little to
about the terms. The terms will be dictated to the
kaiser by the victorious allies In Berlin Posdam
The ohenzolerns will what is given them and be
glad enough to get off with their heads their
shoulders
One issue is to be settled for all time before the
present war closes 1t is the question to whether
autoracy or democracy is to rule the world If that
question unsettled in the treaty that
treaty would be "scrap of paper" there would
nothing gained nothing settled The whole struggle
would be left to be fought again.
No America was slow in getting into this war; but
now that it is fn it safe to that the nation
will be satisfied with nothing less than definite con-
cusion definite conclusion death to the divine
right of kings.

The Betrayal of Labor


The Spokane Labor Council has
neither shame nor patriotism. II
Identifies itself with the reasonable
and mischievous I. W. W., making
demands which are both impudent
and irrelevant.
The primary offense OF the agitator
Rowan, was that he threatened a gen.
eral strike unless certain prisoners
r. w. w. were released from jail.
There was no demand that these men
be given trial in due process of
law or claim that they were inno-
cent; only a protest that they were
jailed at all, and an audacious proc
lamation of a purpose to paralyze
industry, and thus to harrass the gov
eminent in time of war OF course
such thing could not be tolerated.
There is no twilight zone of patriot
ism. The l. w. w. is for or against
America; and clearly it is against
America
1t is uncomfortable that labor gem
orally is against America. Indeed it
is known to be for America. 1t is not
likely that the Spokane Labor Council
is representative of labor sentiment,
even in Spokane. 1t has betrayed
labor by its declaration of sympathy
with the I. W. w. and by espousal of
its cause.-Portland Oregonian.

HOW LATAH COUNTY MEN WILL GO

Adjutant General C. s. Moody has worked out the
apportionment under which the men called into the
military service of nation will go to their training
camps.
The men are to go forward in four contingents-30
per cent September 80 per cent September 49, 80 per
cent October 3, the remaining 10 per cent when
needed.
Under Dr. Moody's apportionment SO Latah county
will go in each of the first three contngents and
u in the last one, making the total of 129 men,

Bear in mind that there is tendency
in camp life for men to become care

this purpose the customs and Tegula-

Besides his extra clothing soldier
carries blanket, a rubber poncho, a
canteen, a mess kit, including meat
can, knife, fork and spoon, a cup, toilet
articles, first aid package, and some
minor belongings
One of the most useful pieces is one
half of shelter tent, with rope and
pins. The shelter tent is said to be a
French invention which was introduce
ed into the American army during the
Civil war In the army it is often call
ed dog tent" evidently because Of its
shape and small size. Two men can
combine their halves and set up a
shelter tent in a few minutes. While
it can not be described as roomy, it is
just what it's name implies, shelter"

6he Exchange Table


The U. of l. at Moscow, rendered a
big barbecue to its students who were
required to register in Uncle Sans
service, last June, and Marvin Fry, OF
this place received 'bid' to be prs
ent. Consequently in company with
his brother Ben, and sister, Miss Vir-
ginia, they started in their car Friday
and returned Sunday. They report a
most pleasant time and outing. They
were accompanied home by Mrs. S. H.
Fry, whose home is at Lindon, idaho,
but who was at that time visiting
friends and relatives in that city.-Fer-

who are armed in some other way,
such as those who are serving artil-
lery or machine guns.
The rifle is the soldiers closest
friend. His first thought should be to
guard it and care for it above all his
possessions. He exercises it to take
care of him in emergencies. In ordi-
nary times he must take care of it.
In caring for rifle it is especially
important to keep the bore clean. In
so doing be sure to avoid injuring the
delicate rifling which causes the bull
let to spin as it is forced out and thus
greatly increases the accuracy of fir
ing. Never put away rifle that has
been fired or exposed to bad weather
without first cleaning. Never lay a
rifle fiat on the ground Rest it secure
ly against something. In lowering the
rifle to the ground, whether during
drilling or at any other time, see that
1t touches the ground gently
Don't play with your rifle. A rifle
or revolver, whether loaded or unload
ed should never be pointed at person
unless you fully intend to shoot that
person, IF necessary, in the perform
ance of your duty. When a firearm in
put into your hands you are intrusted
with a great responsibility for its
proper use.
Anybody in normal physical condi-
ton can learn to be a good shot. Two
of the most important points to femem-
Der are to take a deep breath just be-
fore completing your aim so that you
may hold the rifle with perfect steadi-
that the gun will not be jerked from
its aim at the moment of firing. When
you become an expert marksman (pro-
vided you have also the courage which
permits you to remain cool and col
lected on the battle field you will have
added immensely to your value as
citizen soldier. The simple fact that
you qualify as a marksman will give
you more self-confidence and self-con-
troll
The amount of ammunition which an
American infantryman carries into bat
tie is usually 220 rounds. In an ad-
vanced firing position, where it is diff
cult to bring up reserves of ammuni-
ton, it is necessary to be economical.

vour E0uipment and Arms

Bach soldier in modern army car
r-ies with him sufficient food. clothing
shelter, lighting arms, and ammunl-
ton to take care of himself for short
period IN case he should be separa-
tea from his company. The total
weight of his load. in addition to the
clothes he wears, is SO to 10 pounds
The number OF articles is surprisingly
large. They are so devised, however,
that by ingenious methods OF packing
and adjusting they can all be carried
with the least possible effort.
You are personally responsible for
all the arms, clothing. aand supplies
issued to you. The trained soldier
keeps track of them. He knows imme-
diately at any time where every one
OF his belongings is to be found. You
are required to keep them in good
condition. In case you need other ar
ricIes, they may be issued to you; but
their value in that case will be de-
Quoted from your next pay. q
You will receive ON enlistment an
ample supply of clothing, including not
only your uniform, but extra shoes,
shirts, underclothes, and socks. You
may not be always able to keep your
clothing spotlessly clean. But when 1t
becomes dirty or spotted take the
first opportunity to clean 1t thor
oughly.
Your shoes must be cleaned and pei
ished frequently Wet shoes should be
carefully dried. Army men frequently
dry their shoes during the night by
taking few handfuls Of dry, clean peb-
bles. heating them in a ment can or
kettle until they are very hot, and then
placing them in the shoes So long as
the pebbles are hot move them about
once in while by shaking the shoes
Take care not to heat the pebbles so
hot that the shoes will be scorched.
In general, see to it that all your
clothing is as neat and clean as posi-
BILE at all times. Mend rips and sew
on buttons without delay. This will
