no reports confirming statements
contained in q, letters printed in
New York papers today as to an
engagement with a German de-
stroyer; as to a battle between
submarines and a transport con-
voy, or as to a division of Ameri-
cans defeating German troops
near Lens.
In the latter matter, 1t was ex-
planned that Gen. Pershing's expe-
dictionary forces had not yet gone
TO the front, and If any Ameri-
cans were fighting around Lens
they must have been of the for

We have traced up every such

that San Francisco, which the
young lieutenant cites in rather
uncomplimentary comparison with
Tacoma, has overcharged the
men shamefully in certain mat

The officers themselves have
told me so. The uniforms they
bought in San Francisco cost
them SIS more than those they
get here, and the material is not
nearly so good. We are going to
treat the soldiers fairly. at any
rate; and then If we can give them
hotel discounts and other accom-

ANOTHER KICK
Camp Lewis officers went up
in the air when they were told
Tuesday by a Tacoma firm il
would cost them $3.50 to get their
two-piece suits pressed.
They claim that civilians are
charged only $3.50 for pressing
three-piece suit with long
trousers.
The statement was made that
Seattle is offering lower price
and will get the business unless
1T is met by local firms.

NEW CABINET
HARD TO GET

PARIS, Sept. 12.-M. Painleve
formally reported to President
Poincare today that he had been
unable to form a cabinet. The
president urged him to continue
his efforts. He consented to try
again.
Presumably Painleve's failure
has been due to lack of support
by the socialists. 1t was this lack
OF socialist support which caused
the downfall of the Ribot minis

Considerable surprise was ocea-
stoned by Painleve's announce
ment today. Last night he had
issued a tentative cabinet list in
dicatfhg selection of two and pos
sibly three socialist leaders, and
the socialists had Professionally an
nounced their approval.

1t carefully. 1t is full of food for your
serious consideration:
Why Should Farmers Organize?
Every wideawake town has its com
mercial organization or its commerce
club.
Every wideawake community should
have its Community Club.
Every wideawake county should
have its farming communities and It's
farming population as whole or.
ganized.
An organized community will re.
ceive attention and cooperation from
the county. state and federal officers.
while 1t is hard for individuals TO OBJ
tain an audience.
An organized county will receive
first attention in any emergency where
assistance is to be given or received
by officials or organizations inside or
outside that county.
At the present time the farmers
should organize in order that they
may get the best counsel and advice
of the best farmers in determining
what ought to be done and how 10 do
1t.
They should organize to provide
means for easily and quickly reaching
every community in the county with
Information OF value to that commun
ity or to the county as q whole.
They should organize to provide
plans for obtaining the cooperation
of all OF the farmers interested in
carrying out a countrywide agricul
tural project.
They should organize in order that
they may keep in close touch with
their county officials, state officials
and others, and either assist these
officials or receive assistance from
them when opportunity Offers.
They should get together to fur
nish an organization which will en-
able US TO meet the great national
emergency and cope successfully with
the problems Of production. market

are the authorized representatives OF
the community from which they come
and transact the business of tho Farm

The councilmcn elect their presi-
dent, vice president, secreatry, treas
urer and board OF directors at their
called meeting and annual meetings
thereafter. The duties OF these OFF,
cars are the same as OF similar off,
