Shat SO per cent of the wounded SOL

return to the battle front, while the
French returned 40 per cent and the
English 20 per cent was the report

Morrow, addressed members of the
Boise chapter of the Red Cross society
at the Carnegie library and cited the
percentages given above to illustrate
the value and thoroughness Of Ameri-
can work. He pointed out that the Red
Cross had had so much to do In the
past few years and such unexpected
calls that its funds were low and more
members were needed to carry on the
work. He spoke of the good work
being done BY American women in
making bandages and sponges and,
urged that they follow precisely the
rules given in making both, declaring
that 1t was absolutely dangerous not TO
do so and cited cases of how gangreue
had been caused by improperly made
bandages and sponges. He urged Ida
no people TO join the Red Cross organ
ization to help in the great work for
suffering humanity.

stock Show and Pure Seed
Exhibit Appropriation
Vetoed in It's Entirety.

Boise is designated as the place
where Idaho's state fair shall be per-
manently located under the supervision
of a new state agricultural board, as
the result of the action taken today by
Governor Alexander in approving house
bill No. 1871. The fair gets an appro
priation of $4,000. The same law gives
the Northwest Livestock show at Lew
iston $4,000. This board is composed
of the secretary of state, state treas
urer, director of farm markets, state
veterinarian and state horticultural in
spector.
The bill as passed by the legislature
carried $4,000 appropriations for both
the state fair and the livestock show.
together with $4,000 for a state seed
show. In approving the measure the
governor cut the livestock show appro-
priation $4,000, the state fair appro-
priation $4,000 and struck out the pure
seed show appropriation altogether. All
reductions were made with the approx
al of the interested parties.
MESSAGE OF APPROVAL.
The governors message to Secretary
of State w. T. Dougherty in trans
hitting the bill as approved by him fol-
lows:
Il am transmitting herewith house
bill No. 191 which l have signed and
approved excepting as to the items of
expenditures therein mentioned in
section II, which items on account Of
the necessity for cutting down the ap-
preparations made by the legislature, l
have been compelled to reduce.
In signing this bill, am impelled
to give sanction TO the livestock show
to be held at Lewiston and to the es-
tablishment of state fair to be held
at Boise, but do not approve OF a sep
arate item of $4,000 for a separate seed
show to be designated by the board,
therefore, the item of $4,000 in section
IL is disapprOved as a whole and en-
tirely.
THE item of $4,000 to be expended
for a livestock show at Lewiston,
Idaho, is disapproved in the sum of
100000 and approved in the sum of
$4,000; and the item of $4,000 for a
state fair at Boise is disapproved in
the sum of $4,000 and approved in the
sum of $4,000.
II wish to say in this connection
that the reduction in these two items
has been made with the entire APP
prevail of the officers and the persons
interested In the state fair at Boise
and of the livestock show at Lewis
ton; and also with the sanction and
approval of the members OF the state
board of agriculture created by the
bill, all of whom have assured me
that they will not question the author
ity I have exercised in reducing the
respective appropriations to the fig
ures therein designated but will accept
the same in the spirit intended and in
view of the necessity which requires
this action"
