'Pursuant to call of the presi-
dent you win mobilize your COM
pany at once. Further orders
will follow. Signed, Charles S.
Moody, adjutant general Of Idaho"

The above dispatch received last ev-
ening by Captain P. w. McRoberts re-
suited in the beginning of activity
among the officers of Company ID who
promptly began sending word per-
sonally, by telephone and telegraph to
members of the company here and
elsewhere. Today the boys are gather
ing at quarters and everything shows
signs of preparation. 1t is not known
when further orders will be received
or what they will be when they come.
1t is expected that some word will be
received this afternoon or tomorrow
in regard to further steps to be taken.
All sorts of rumors have been cir
culated, one being to the effect that
the boys would be mustered into state
service and used to guard bridges
Captain McRoberts said that he be-
lieved that they would be called
into federal service at once and that
all statements with reference to the
purposes for which they had been call
ed we're mere guesswork, without any
evidence whatever to back them up.
There is evidence of patriotism
everywhere. Flags are going up all
over the city and people are gather
ing in knots talking of the situation
and expressing sentiments of love of
country and national honor. For the
past two weeks there has been daily
Increase in the number of flags dis
played and flags worn on coat lapels
and caps Today all those who had
not previously worn the national col
ors are putting them on and "Pre-
paredness" badges are everywhere in
evidence.
The women of Twin Falls are show
ing their usual patriotic fervor in the
usual practical way. The Red Cross
Auxiliary will meet tomorrow after
noon at 4:30 o'clock at the rooms of
the Commercial club for the purpose
of organizing a chapter. This chapter
will affiliate directly with the state or
ganization which has already been
formed and through that with the ma
tional organization. Only one chapter
will be formed in southern Idaho so
that those who join the society in 9th
er cities and towns on both sides OF
this city must affiliate with the organ
ization here.
The Red Cross chapter which will
be formed tomorrow will hold a pa
triotic meeting at the auditorium OF
the Twin Falls high school Monday
night and everybody of both sexes is
urged to attend. Their will be some
speeches and arrangements made for
practical and systematic work. 1t is
felt that everyone can do something
to help the country and the boys are
going to the front to risk their lives
for it and for all the people.
The Red Cross Auxiliary was or
ganized here at the time that the boys
were called to the border and did 6
wonderful work in assisting them by
providing many of the comforts Of
home and many articles of the highest
utility and practical necessity, besides
keeping in touch with them and ex
tending highly appreciated human fel
lowship, which made life less monot
cnous with those who were away from
their homes.

MORE AID SOUGHT FOR FAIR
FAIR BOARD PASSES RESOLUTION
ASKING FOR INCREASE IN
STATE APPROPRIATION

At meeting Of the county fair
board held at the Office of Secretary
Bergheim, a resolution was passed
urging the state agricultural society
to work for better legislation govern
ing county fair associations. The reso-
luton asked that all county fair So
cieties receiving state aid be admitted
to the state society and that the state
society work for an increase in the
stae appropriation for aid to county
fairs from $S5, 900 to $3.50, 900 or such
an amount as the state offers to pay to
the county fair societies for premiums
awarded at the fairs. For the past two
years the state has paid the societies
only 20 per cent of the amount prom
ised and the local fair board, in its
resolution pointed out that unless re
lief is extended to the measures out
lined the fairs will sooner or later be
put out of existence.
In its resolution the board also ask
ed that the limit on the appropriation
of county boards for county fairs be
removed or raised to at least 81 900.
At present the limit is $500. They
also asked that the laws governing
farmers mutual fire insurance com
panies be so amended as to permit
them issuing policies for fair property.
The insurance rate on such property
is SO high that it is impossible for a
county fair association to carry insur-
ance on its property, thereby also pre-
venting them, from erecting snbstan-
tial buildings. Lastly, in the resoin-
ton, they asked that an amendment
of the tax laws be made to exempt :he
property Of county fair associations
from taxation.
The committee on a race track and
racing association reported that it had
already gotten busy and that the track
would likely be ready in time for the
fair next fall. The COMMITTEES stated
that it wished to get into circuit in
cluding St. Cloud, Sauk Centre, Long
Prairie and other cities in this vicin-
ity. The money for financing the con-
struction of the race track must be
raised by public subscription.
Notes amounting to $4,000, held by
the First National bank, were taken
up and new notes issued for them.
