THE need OF ECONOMY AND SAVING

The United States is now at war.
A large part of our country's human
energy is taken away from the farms,
factories, and industries of peace
until the war ends all their energies
will be devoted to lishting
A great portion OF our productive
energy is being turned into the crea-
tion of implements of destruction
Many Of our products are now being
devoted TO purposes of war. Destruc-
tion instead OF construction is the
object of great portion of the
eountry's energy
As much of the human energy and
productive capacity of the Nation
are now being devoted to the purpose
Of war, so should the proper amount
of the money of the United States be
so devoted, He who offers his life
for his country is Offering the great
est possible sacrifice, bat the Ameri-
can men and women who support the
Government with their money are
doing their part
This war is going to be financed

Skirts must be heightened II we
are going to win this war said Miss

The Young Women's Christian asso-

Girls and women must dress so

Mans cause Is woman's cause, and
we must both rise or fail together.
There is lure in the brass button,

a real part to play in this war, and
they must mobilize the girls, because

Leo A. Dresser, we'll known in
Mountain Home, and for the past two
years a member of the St Paul team
Of the American association, has been
old to Detroit in the American
league. The purchase price was
$500. and another player. Mr..
Dresser, who is a son-in-laW Of
Henry Jacobson, has made a record
for himself at ST Paul, and is loked
upon as probably the leading player
in that city A st. Paul Paper car
ried the following comment last
week when the sale was announced:
When Leo August Dresser gets
with the Tigers, that club viii have
more speed than any other in any
league in the country. ry Cobb and
Leo August will make many catchers
wish they were elsewhere when the
Detroit team is around.
In point OF speed in running, DEes-
sen can make Cobb look. like dray
horse If the two were to race 100
yards Leo would win by not less than
fifteen yards, but Cobb has the dar-
ng and the instinct as to the right
,ime to start that, enables him to
more than hold his own with other
PLAYERS who can outpace him in
straight running,
After Leo has seen Cobb pull some
Of his daring stunts, he too, is likely
to cut loose, and then he too, is likely

Just as Ty Cobb often does.

. largely out Of the savings of the
American people during the war.
1t is not too great a sacrifice to make
for ones country in time of war to
deny ones self uxuries, to cut down
unnecessary expenses, to lead quieter
and buster lives. Not only will the
money thus saved and used to buy
Liberty Loan Bonds help the United
States but the diminished consump-
tion Of food and other articles will
do much the relieve the country
from the strain OF war,
The less the people use the less
strain there is upon the productive
capacity of the Nation and the more
can be devoted to winning the war;
the more the people save the more
liberal financial support can they
give the Government This is the
peoples war, and it is to be financed
b. the American people, not by the
rich and not by the poor, but by
the rich and the poor, the capitalist
and the wage Garner the miner and

PHONE COMPANY
OFFERS SOLUTION
ON HAY STACKER

The annual argument between the
agriculturists and the public utility
companies which operate wires in the
state OF Idaho again bobs up, Ever
since the invention OF the mechanical
hay stacker its transportation along
and across the highways has been the
source of much controversy between
the ranchmen ana the wire-ownng
corporations. The former has always
maintained his right TO move his har-
yesting apparatus as he saw lit, fire.
quently with disastrous results in the
matter Of broken wires and ronse-
quently interrupted service
The wire-oWnins corporations have
relied in the past upon the Idaho laws
which permit them to recover heavy
damages, and have based their objec-
tions to the ranchers arbitrary action
in hauling staekors through the lines
on the grounds that many innocent
and transmission were caused serious
Interruptions and inconvenience
There seems to be a middle ground
in the controversy, however, and this
has been taken by the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany which makes the following
statement; mo charge will be made
to the ranchman who desire to move
hay stackers through the lines of our
company provided ample notice is
given rs, and we will gladly furnish
liueman who Will cut the wires
necessary and repair the same rhis
method insures the least possible in
corruption 10 the telephone service
ana should be very acceptable to the
rancbmen inasmuch as it insures
both themselves and their neighbora
the greatest amount of freedom from
delayed telephone service
The Telephone Company qualified
their statemnt as follows We feeF
that we are partners With the ranch
men in Idaho in many ways, It is to
our interest quite as much as to theirs
that crops be harvested rapidly and
ineXpensiyely And this is partic-
uIarly true this year because of the
greater demand for production of all
kinds The moving Of hay staekers
is essential to harvesting, but 1T must
be remembered that we are also part
ners with every telephone user In the
state. 1t is our duty to furnish con-
tinuous exchange and long distance
service and this can be secured only
by cooperation on the part of the
ranchmen" We anticipate very
little difficulty when our position is
known and we hope that the news
paper people viii give this the wild
est publicity as the season is at its
height when these movements Of hay
stackers are most essential"

one in the administration of M
duties.
eff the war continues for mucl
longer period the question OF foot
supply may develop into a more ser
ious condition in our own country

''It is also hoped that insofar a!
the shortage and sale of food products

tion in their distribution under con
