A. 3. Spicer ~(recently returned from
New York;: Yes, sir, times seem
to be lively in New York and through
out the eastern section Of the coun.
try. All the factories. you know. are
operating to the full capacity, many Of
them on overtime, in order to meet
the heavy demands in the commercial
world. l noticed the same evidences
of activity in Ohio and other places
that l visited. There seems to be
general optimism in the business field.
due, probably, to the great aid un-
precedented demand growing out of
the European war"
w. S. Murray: For some reason
or other, but which we have been un-
able to fathom, The Saturday News
stopped coming to u house some
time ago, and we missed it greatly.
Was it because our subscription had
expired or was it because our credit
wasn't any good? / was under the
impression that we'd paid ahead"

rays name had been stricken from the

of somewhat similar spelling. His

Mr.. Murray, for setting the matter
rightly
H. A. Sasse (Henry): II want to
renew my subscription to The Satur-
day News for another year. The leg
islature? Yes, sir, it seems to be
grinding away in very c~ommendable
shape. There is every indication,
judging from the newspaper reports
and from what / hear in other quar-
tiers, that the members of the legisla.
ture are striving to do what's neces.
sary for the best interests of the
state. We can't all agree, Of course
but my observation leads me to be
ileve that the state as a whole viii
be very well satisfied with the work
of the session of 1917" (Note.-Mr
Sasse, having served two or three
terms in the legislature, speaks from
the standpoint of practical expert
ence.)

Soldiers Must Be Physically Fit

To take a man from civil life. wheth
er it be at the desk, the shop, the
factory or any other mode of industrial
occupation and throw him into the
open life Of soldering, was a problem
to conjure with. To most people the
one thought of being a soldier is to
shoulder a gun and be an expert
marksman. Little idea is given to the
fact that before man can be depend
ed upon to do his utmost as a soldier,
he must be as physically fit as a base
ball player, football player or fighter
who is matched with an able adversary.
Conditioning 100000 nnen was the
problem that confronted the govern
ment and the first step taken in this
direction was fostering of athletics.
Setting up exercises to bring into play
muscles that had lain dormant for
years has been part of the army
training from time immemorial In
time of peace, these simple little work.
ings of the muscles suffieed for the
soldier. But these are extraordinary
times and necessarily must have extra
ordinary methods to attain success. SO
| it became evident that if our soldiers
were to emerge victorious in hand to-
hand struggle in No Mans Land that
something more than setting up exer-
! it, The original setting up exercise
| schedule was elaborate and two hours
each morning was prescribed for this
/ part of the training. After several
weeks these became almost obsolete
and it is little wonder that the native
and up-North visitors gasp in open
mouthed wonderment when they visit
camp and see company after company
of men engaged in races, hurdling,
| football, boxing and basketball.
To them it appears on the surface as
one grand, big picnic and they are fear
| full lest when the time comes these
same soldiers will be unable to uphold
the confidence placed in them by the
millions at home But to those who
have gained by experience Of the three
| years of the war "over there" the ath-
| letic feature of camp training has I'M
divided support Being soldier is not
wholly confined to marching in parade
or gring a few shots from being an am
buscade at hidden enemy. Little does
! the average civilian think of the cold
the rain and the mud and other disad-
vantages that must be confronted be-
| fore the enemy can be reached. Little
| thought is given to the man in uniform
| and his ability to withstand day after
day on short ration, when pursuing the

In every mode of life, red blood is a
requisite that is absolutely essential to
success. And the real red blood, the
kind that thrills over victory, over the
success of difficulties that seemed in
surmountable, and eventually makes
it's predominant over all obstacles, is
obtained by an open, free and athletic
life. One look through that famous
publication who's Who In America, !"
will prove that the assertion is true be-
yond argument Men who have become
prominent factors in civil life, promot
ers and architects of some of the big
gest schemes and successes of this
great nation have laid the foundation
of their success by struggles in the
open, either in athletics to gain pre-
dominance in that branch of life for
which they were best fitted.
When, after two years of silent
acquiescence in the unrestricted, I'M
lawful acts of the German Emperor, in
his fitful struggle for worlds supre-
macy, this country was drawn into the
vortex of the world war, some persons,
termed pacifists, loudly proclaimed that
this country was wholly unready to
cope with and demoliSh the gigantic
machine which then bid fair to control
all Europe and spread it's tentaCles to
this side of the ocean. Our President
felt that his course in declaring war
was right and justifiable and in accord
ance herewith this country was drawn
into the fray Howls went up from
those who looked upon war as a curse
from the Most High and did not real
ize that only by such a procedure could
the world be made safe for the methods
of living for which the world had been
created and peopled.
The first step taken by the govern
ment was the calling into service of
all members of its Regular Army and
the National Guard. This represented
the cream of the fighting force of this
country but in numbers it was a mere
handful compared to the millions who
had already laid down their lives on the
battlefield ST Europe. Census figures
in 1916 showed that in this country
there were 21,000,000 young men, be-
tween the ages of 81 and 81 and upon
these did the government base it's hope
of bringing the war to an early and
successful conclusion. The draft was
the next step taken, drawing from the
ranks of those eligible over one-third
of their number.

age, grit, stamina and endurance gain
ed by careful athletic training, are
brought into play. Then it is that con-
fidence, imbued by victory in the
game about camp, is brought to the
surface and confidence, coupled with
the knowledge that all physical dis
abilities can be overcome, is what will
eventually bring the American soldier

Ietics, upon basis that does not make
it monotonous, has been the best thing
introduced in army life since this coun-
try has had men under arms. And as
the proof of the pudding is in eat
ing it," so also will the great body Of
young men in training, prove, beyond a
question of doubt, that the athletic
training received while wearing the
khaki, has been the biggest and best
step taken to make the American sol
dier the peer of any engaged in the
conflict across the sea.

Rev. E. N. Murphy Delivers
Sermon on "The Word Of
God Which Liveth and
Abideth Forever"

Life in the Word" was the topic
OF a sermon by Rev. e. N. Murphy,
pastor of Collister Presbyterian church.
The sermon was one OF the series be-
ing preached by the ministers Of Boise
in the revival being conducted. The
text from which Rev. Mr.. Murphy
preached was taken from first Peter,
THE word Of God which liveth and
abideth forever" His sermon was in
part as follows:
THE Bible Is the written word.

Christ and the scriptures are the living
word. They are so identified In the
scriptures that 1t Is not always clear

Of the times often brooks no authority
higher than that of the people. A re-

MESSAGE OF ALL PEOPLE.
THE Bible has the unique property
Of adopting itself and it's message of
all people. Mems books will not al

runs freely into the mould of every
language. The word exhibits the char

rather than on the printed page. The
