sen. ATHERTON WOULD
REBUILD VETS HOME
And He Would Have Ii Done Now
Even At Cost of Special Legisla-
tive SessiOn-He Deems The Nee
essity Quite Sufficient.

The senator from this county has
just returned from visit to Boise
with very settled and definite ideas
regarding the duty of the state with
reference to its old soldier wards.
AS everyone knows, the comfortable
and we'll equipped home in which they
have been housed and cared for was
burned to the ground some months
ago. Since that time the veterans
have been sheltered in the old U. S.
barracks, where the senator visited
them and made a careful note of the
situation. AS to what he saw there,
and his conclusions therefrom, he
talked to a TIMES reporter substan-
TALLY as follows:
1.-THE barracks are a row of old,
detached buildings, hardly above the
dignity of sheds, and are in no man
ner suitable for men of that age, av-
eraging, as they do, above seventy
years. Colonel r. II. Barnes, the
commandment, with his competent
staff-and l especially include Adju-
tant Burnet, who has been seventeen
years in that position-have done and
are doing everything possible for the
comfort and welfare of the men. But
il is plain that the situation makes
it impossible to give them such a
"home" as they have had, or as is
necessary to their well being. There
are now about one hundred and twen-
ty-five veterans present. Eight have
died since removal to the barracks
an unusually large number for the

A FULL ADDRESS GETS
PROMPT MAIL DELIVERY
Postmaster StrOnk Explains the Nee
essity For Complete Addresses On
MaiI-AlsO As To Tax On Parcels
Post packages.

Postmaster M. A Stronk in a com
munication received yesterday by
this paper. requests all patrons, as
far as possible, to have their street
route or box numbers placed on their
mail, in order to secure prompt de-
livery. He reiterates what he said
in the Times a couple of weeks ago
The following is his letter:
A few weeks ago requested
irons of the Twin Falls post office
use more care in having their mail
addressed to box number, street ad-
dress or rural route. / am glad to
state that there has been quite a
considerable increase in the amount
of mail received that is properly ad-
dressed.
There is still at least SO per cent
of the mail received that has no ad-
dress other than Irwin Falls, Ida. 3"
AS l stated before, most of this mail
must be given directory service. At
present we are able to give this mail
directory service within two or three
days of it's receipt but as the holiday
season approaches and the volume
of mail increases this will not be
possible. Persons expecting to re-
ceive mail promptly from now until
after the first of the year, 1918
should take especial pains to have
their mail come addresses. Parcel;
and papers, not addressed properly
will be subject to ;Ie greater delay
because we give letters the prefer
ence in directory service.
Please call attention to the fact
that Dec. 1st parcels post packages
must have l cent revenue war ta>
paid on them for every 25 cent regu
lar postage. A parcel on which thu
postage is less than 25 cents will no
require a war tax. A parcel on whicl
the postage is 26 cents would require
cents war tax. The war tax staml
is a special stamp and must be can
celled by the sender of the parce
writing or stamping his initial ant
the date of mailing thereon. War ia,
stamps will be on hand at the loca
postoffice in ample time for use De

Personals
A party of officials from Seattle,
consisting of Joseph Collins, director
of the bureau of development; Mrs.
Hilton, director of the woman's bur-
eau and Miss Mae LOOMS, director of
the nursing service, arrived Tuesday
noon to visit the chapter.
Unfortunately Mr.. Collins arrived
very i'll and was ordered to bed at

The women members of the party
left Wednesday morning to continue
the tour of the northwest division. 1t

able to join them.
Mrs. Schildman and a committee
were up from Filler last week to help
pack the Christmas packages.

word that she has organized a knit
ting club for the women living on
the Salmon tract.
Mrs. Winters from American Falls,
Mrs. Shepherd from Jerome, Mrs.
Severn and Mrs. Provost from Han
sen, were callers at headquarters last
week.
The enthusiastic manner in which
the Junior Red Cross responded to
the call for tin boxes is much to be
commended. Anyone who is in need
of such a tin to use in getting their
Christmas packets ready can obtain
them either at headquarters or the
sewing room.
The ball given at Filler on Friday
evening by the local Red Cross at
tracted a large crowd. The evening
was perfect and scores of people from
Twin Falls, Bull, Kimberly motored
to Filler to enjoy the good music and
excellent floor
A short program was rendered
early in the evening which added
much to the pleasure of the occasion
More than $4,000 was realized
This sum goes into the fund Filler is
collecting for a motor kitchen to be
sent to France.
Among those who mOtored from
Twin Falls were Mr.. and Mrs. Du-
vail, Mrs. and Mrs. Dwight, Mr.. anc
Mrs. White, Mr. and Mrs. Macvicar
Mr.. and Mrs. Read, Mr.. and Mrs
Peavey, and Mr.. and Mrs. Ormsby.

Sewing Room Notes
Among the gifts received the past
week was a bolt of outing flannel
given by Mrs. Nye. Mrs. Evans con-
tributed a complete knitted set, do
mated all the material and labor.
The attendance at the sewing room
has somewhat increased recently. 1t
is hoped that the Jewel hall may be
obtained for the sewing work, in
which event the present sewing quar-
ters will be used for preparing the
surgical dressings.
The demand for all kinds of Red
Cross supplies grows constantly
greater, and it is urgently asked
that every woman in the community
do her Bit to the limit of her spare

however that they may have author

should he decide that nothing can
be done without legislative authority,
it is my deliberate opinion that a
special session of the legislature
should be called at once. This for
the reason that awaiting the regular
session, work could not be begun be-
fore one year from next spring and
the new building could not be occu-
pied sooner than two years from the
present time-a long while for men
now beyond three score and ten.
I'm rebuilding the home at the pres
ent time, the fact will be considered
that there will be more "old soldiers
to care for in the future, and plans
will be made accordingly. And this
attention by the state. even going to
the length of a special legislative SEES
sion, will in itself be a stimulation to
patriotism 1t will show those who
are representing Idaho with the col
ors of the nation that they and their
possible necessities are not and viii
