ALL APPEALS FOR PATRIOTIC FUNDS

SAYS NATIONAL COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

BOISE-The solicitation of funds for
patriotic and philanthropic war pur-
poses has increased to such an extent
that it demands official supervision to
prevent wastefulness, overlapping
duplication or fraud and therefore the
mends that the state councils of de-
fense Jake active steps to supervise
all such appeals to the public for

to that effect, and so notified the Ida

Whereas, appeals are constantly
being made throughout the country in

EVERY STATE IN UNION
SHARES IN ROAD FUND
Federal Government Stands Ready to
Do Its Full Share to Conquer
King Mud

WASHINGTON-Al the states of the
union have availed themselves of the
opportunity of participating in the
benefits of the federal aid road act,
which appropriated Is million dollars
for the construction of post roads and
10 million dollars for forest roads, ac-
cording to the report of the director of
the office of public roads and rural
engineering, United States department
of agriculture. That the passage Of
the act has stimulated road building is
shown by the fact that in 1916, there
were approximately Al million dollars
of state funds expended for all high
ways purposes, and it is estimated that
in the calendar year 1917, the aggre-
gate expenditures of state funds for
this purpose will be at least so mil
lions. A number of the states have
made specifies appropriations to meet

.hese are New York, Illinois, Michigan,

THE BREAD LINE

fused Both these traits of human ma
3ture to aid him in saving food and
Eescaping the Bread Line" He has
Sasked the ladies to abstain from serv-
5ing wheat, and beef and pork on cer-
ltain days of the week. The human"
seannot get these food articles on
these days, hence he wants them bad
sly, prizes them more when he does
lget them, and does not waste them
iany more. The putting of bread crusts
iinto the garbage can has stopped.
lMr. Hoover has issued orders limiting
the amount of sugar one person could
lbuy, or the merchant sell to one per-
bon, and the humans wish for sugar
kas increased 1t took more effort to
get sugar, so it was priced higher, and
bot wasted. 1t is easier to work with
human nature than against it.
But another trait of human nature
ZONES in cupidity. The human wants
more sugar than is allowed; and the
merchants wants humans trade. Cup
idity meets cupidity; and they deal.
A sack of sugar and some paltry dol
lars change hands, and the deal was
so easy that the waste of sugar goes
on apace. The soldier in France goes
on holding the Hindenberg line, hun
grily, freezingly but grimly. We, the
people here at home, are thrust one
step nearer the Bread Line" The
merchant and the human meet, deal
shake and part. Each thinks he has
made a friend of the other. When
they meet in the Bread Line" year
hence, perhaps, the merchant will say,
You did it. Why did you ask for the
sugar and tempt me?" And the hum
an will reply, 'You did it. Why did
you sell the sack when I asked for
it? Your competitor would not" Each
blames the other. Both are guilty.
Both are the enemies of the govern
ment f--the soldier and of their
neighbors Both should be reported
to the Council of Defense at once.

PORTLAND-In order to guarantee
Oregon potato growers a just price

Complaint has been made that potatoes

station, and then gradually work up
with the line, till about 6 or o'clock,
when the food is secured and the per-
son can go home. The object of this
government control is to prevent
waste of food, and so have enough to
feed the soldiers The allowance is
measured out, so much to each per-
son. The people are not allowed to
buy as they wish They always waste
when they do. Even so, persons who
know, have stated that Americans
wasted enough food to keep an equal
number of people in Europe, and this
was before the war. If this was true
before the war, and their governments
without measuring it out to them, how
about the American waste of food?
Mr. Hoover is trying to have us es-
cape the Bread Line in this coun-
try, and in order to do so is urging
us to save food. He is doing this in
many ways, but is always asking the
triotic duty. He has asked people to
pledge themselves to do as he asks
Most of them have done so. There
are a few slackers, and these must
be weeded out. A Stacker in obeying
food regulations is helping to crowd
the whole population into the Bread
Line" He is an enemy of all, not only
of the soldier boy fighting his battles
in Europe, but of his friends and

PRO-CERMAN SUSPECT
DECLINES TO EXPLAIN
CITED TO APPEAR BEFORE COUN-
GIL OF DEFENSE HE
DISAPPEARS

w. T. Whitman, Route 5, Moscow,
cited to appear before the county
council of defense to explain loose
talk in which he was indulging on the
streets of Moscow, is reported to have
skipped the country. He failed to ap-
pear before the council of defense.
Willman was heard railing against the
government, denouncing President
Wilson and arguing that the entry Of
this nation into the war was wholly
wrong and unnecessary. He was i'm
mediately cited to apepar before the
council of defense but failed to ap
pear. Now it is asserted that he is
gone. This gives rise to the suspicion
that he was but acting for somebody
higher up in pro-German propagan-
da, and that he was induced to leave
before telling what he knew.

Big Force at Work

At the present moment there is,
gathered from the four corners of the
land, a working force of 967 men,
women and girls, working long hours
feverishly
This force merely inaugurates the
work of selling Americas fighting men
from $1,000 to $4,000 worth of insur-
ance each, of seeing that dependents
get their allowances and that wound
ed men get their compensation.
With practically 1000 workers hard
at it getting the system under way,
and new faces being added at the
rate of 100 to 200 a week, it is esti-
mated that this force will number
several thousands before the work has
progressed another six months.

packed full of girls at gathering type

Seattle and beside her one from Ten
nessee. An office boy from Maine
slaps patches of correspondence on
both their desks, which came from
man who volunteered from Alaska.

seen Washington until few weeks
