SHOULD BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Everyone Who Can Buy Them and
Don't Is Not Red-BIooded Citi-
zen says Hawley

Idaho must invest $1,000, in lib
erty bonds. The Executive Commit
tee OF the twelfth district has fixed
this figure as the minimum for the
state The maximum is $13, 900. In
order to have the state keep up It's
record for supplying funds for war
purposes and to come up to the ex-
pectations of the executive committee
of the twelfth district. Idaho must
buy bonds o the amount of $40, 0,000,-
900.
The government must have $3.-
900, 100000 and to get this minimum
amount Idaho must subscribe ST.
100000. but this figure should by no
means be the maximum. Chairman
Davis says that s9,000,000 must be
taken as the states minimum and
that the full $10,000.0O0 that the
western division headquarters expects
should be subscribed
The government cannot get along
with less than $4,000. 100000 and It
is asking subscriptions up 10 $1,000
100000. In order to meet the de-
mands of the government il Is i'm
perative that Idaho buy bonds up to
the full $4,000. 900 allotment.
Some people have the idea that
to buy liberty bond is to make a
donation to the government" said
former Governor James IL Hawley.
IF the government were taking our
dollars in the shape of taxes no loyal
citizen would have right to COM
plain. We are. however, offered a
government bond that pays per
cent interest. Holdings up to $4,000
are exempt from all taxes. All hold
ings. no matter II one has a million
dollars worth. are exempt from local
taxes and also from the normal in
come tax. Can you find better and
safer investment for the man with
money. The man who refuses to buy
liberty bond, II he has the money
to buy with is not good citizen. The
question OF investment should be a
secondary consideration. The all
important thing is that our boys. the
sons of mothers and fathers of Idaho.

$500 Per Year
MORTALITY RATE IN WAR
Only IL Men Out Of 1000 Killed Or
Captured

There is a considerable of comfort
for the mothers and fathers of Amer
ican boys in the figures concerning
French casualties recently published
by NJ. Andre Tardieu, the French
High Commissioner to the United
States. The fact that, for the last
six months of 1916, the casualties
mum mbered only a little more than one
per cent OF those under arms has as
founded most Americans. This per-
iod includes the great Somme often
sive, the fall drive against Verdun,
and other great military operations.
Since NJ. Tardieu includes under cas-
ualties those killed, missing or TAX
ell prisoner-evidently not those
wounded, this means that, in one of
the hardest fought periods of the
war, only about twelve men In a
thousand lost their lives, or fell into
the enemies hands. Concerning the
wounded no figures are furnished.
Since from 80 to 80 per cent of the
disabled are sufficiently restored to
quite apparent that the number of
men seriously and permanently in
jured is not large. AS to the sick
nesses that have gathered the great
est toll in previous wars-typhoid.
dysentry, typhus. tetanus-the chan
ces of getting these diseases at the
front is much less in the armies than
at home. No European or American
town or city has any such sanitary
system as is everywhere enforced in
France. The number OF killed and
disabler in this war is large, but that
is mainly because OF the great num-
bers engaged. Proportionately 1t is
small. The percentage OF casualties
is by 10 means as large as it WAS in
the last year Of our Civil war. The
fact that the engines of destruction
are much more terrible now than ff-
ty years ago has blinded us to the
fact, and We forget that the means
OF defense are also incomparably
greater than in the Civil war. The
dangers which our American boys
are 10 run are great and call for the
heroic qualities which they possess.
But let US not exaggerate. Accord
ing to the experience OF the French
army only one or two out OF every
hundred men modified in each six
months will be killed or taken pris-
oner.
OF course the normal mortality
rates which We have In peace as we'll
as in war, will increase this percent
age. But these rates Will probably
be lower than in the average Amer
lean city. not only because of the ex
cellent medical supervision, but be-
cause the men sent represent a 80
lected class'-from q physical stand
point they are the pick of the popu-
lation, those who are most able to

BULL ROAD BONDS CARRY
Highway District Gives Astonishing
Majority for Rig Issue

The people OF Bull are In favor OF
good roads. as evidenced by the big
majority OF 1913 to 104. which they
rolled up for the proposition of bond
ing the district for 100000 for hard
surfaced roads. at the election held
for that purpose last Saturday.
The vote by precincts was as fol-
lows: Buhl city, for 1876, against
81: Deep Creek for 90. against 10;
Lucerne, for AZ. against 10; Glover,
for 1O1. against ~: Castelofrd. for
17S. against IS.
The splendid endorsement given
by the west end people for road Inn
provement should presage a victory
for the proposed million dollar coun-
ty issue. although some fear is enter
tanned that the west end people hav--
ing got what they want will be In
clined to oppose the county Issue
This should not and probably will not
be the case. The Improvement OF
roads all over the county has now
come to be n matter that concerns
every section alike.-Twin Fall'

Riddles Have Big Time

At considerable expense and
great amount of labor and patience.
the long-looked for and much-talked
of "Kidies' Carnival" was put in
running order last Friday and Sat
urday.
The plan as outlined by Rev. Rob
erts. assisted by a most competent
stan of assistants. proved most sue
cessful from not only financial. but
pleasure standpoint.
In the crowd who attended the
various entertainments were the old
folks. the middle aged folks. the
young folks and the babies. and from
getting the Kaiser's scalp to a two
minute ride on the merry-go-round,
all seemed to be enjoying themselves
immensely. The proceeds of the car
nival WAS donated to the Red Cross
society. and right here let us not
overlook the fact that even the kid
dies who took part In affording the
different amusements deserve a great
deal of credit in their effort 10 do

the railroads. in the effort to secure
the utmost use of all railway equip
ment during the war The Railroads
War Board issues a warning, how
ever. that itw i'll be necessary for all
concerned to exert renewed efforts,
as the obnormal demands upon the
railroadsf or the movement of both
troops and supplies is constantly In
creaslng. while the securing of new
equipment is virtually impossible.
From now on $500 cars day will
be required to carry food and sup
plies to the men in military camps
while the shipment OF export supplies
for the allies will be doubled. All
this additional traffic must be moved
by the railroads. although they have
only per cent more equipment than
they had at this time last year

Knit to Win the War Is Plea Sent
From Front by Colonel Holbrook

Mrs. l.. r. Holbrook received d
letter Friday from her husband. Col
onel Holbrook, who is now with his
regiment in France. In response to
her inquiry as to what was most
needed by the men over there he re-
piled that unless they had woolen
socks. and plnty of them, very soon,
the consequences would be serious.
He explained that the socks pro-
vided by the government were heavy
cotton ones which wore out quickly,
that the shoes provided by the gov
ernmentw ere not water proof and as
consequence the men had wet feet
most of the time, as II rained con
stantly
He urged his wife to ask the Ida
no women to knit socks at their teas
and luncheons, in fact to knit them
at every spare moment, and to send
them by mail and he would have
them distributed.
'Do this" he said, "and you may
be the means of winning the war"
1t will not be necessary to await
the arrival OF special yarn to com
mence on the socks, since any color
will do, Mrs. Holbrook says. while
for sweaters and helmets khaki is
needed. but the socks may be white,
blue. green or red. just as long as
they are received.
Colonel Holbrook suggested size
IL as an average, since they will
shrink. although bigger and small
er sizes may be made and men will
be found whom they will f1t. The
main thing is to get them knitted.
The club women OF Idaho are ad-
vocating knitting not only by all the
high school pupils. the inmates OF
the penitentiary. deaf. dumb and
blind school. insane asylums, and IN
dustrial schools. but they suggest
that there is no reason why the mer
of the state should not learn to knit
also and help out In this emergency

Every section of the country has

AGRICULTURE UNDERNiANNED
More Liberal Application OF Army
Draft Law Desired by Agri-
culturists

Spokesman for the nations organ
lied farmers asked Pres Wilson to
order a more liberal application of the
draft law to farm labor in order that
war. They urged that the govern
ment not only should exempt men
who apply, but should make 1t its
business to keep skilled farmers out
of the military service and require
them to remain at their posts as pro-
ducers.
The delegation that called at the
White House was headed by a com
mittee OF the federal board of farm
organizations and included the legis-
lative committee of the national
grange and members of the house
and senate from the great agricul-
tural states. The federal board s
committee presented a memorial set
ting forth the farmers situation and
formally asking relief.
agriculture is the only great In
dustry now undermanned. as compar-
ed with the standards existing before
the war" the memorial said.
"The shortage OF farm labor is cut
ting down the productive power OF
American farms. Transportation com
panies, contractors and Industrial
plants offer for labor prices higher
- by far than any farmer can pay and
still produce food for the consumer

ed on the desire of the government
to put each man where he may serve
his country best. then the admins

should be exempt refuse to apply

the nation as a whole.
Because the world is short OF foot
the government has asked the farm
