A RED CROSS CHRISTMAS

This ought to be Red Cross
Christmas in the heart OF every Am
erican citizen. Now more than ever
before are members needed for the
Red Cross. A special drive for TO-
100000 new members for the Am
erican Red Cross is on. 1t is spec
ial Christmas campaign. 1t ought
to go over the top.
The American Red Cross propos-
es doing for your soldier boys what
would be impossible for you as an
individual or for the American gov
eminent to do.
But as an individual you can be
the means of the Red Cross dong
this thing. Every member OF every
family-mother, father, son and
daughter ought to become member
now. The membership fee is VI.
This 81 is to be spent for the SOL
diers' Christmas. The Red Cross
plans to send every soldier in the
camps a Christmas package. This
Christmas package will be message
of love and encouragement from the
folks back home. 1t will stimulate
the boys to greater deeds of vaIor.
It will let them know they are not
forgotten. 1t will cheer them dur
ing their lonely, homesick hours.
o, it will do so much for those
who have been torn from home and
home ties and cast into cherries
training camps.
Then, will you withhold the pal
try sum of $500?

no frowning despot shall sit upon the

"Peace on eartn.
At the threshold of the celeofa-
ton of the natal day OF Him whose
most celebrated expression was
"Peace on earth, good will t ward

down the ages as has no other OF
mortal man; one which has carried
hone into the hearts Of untold NIL
lions of men from the '!a% uttered
even to the present day I've repeat

find the whole world at war.
Men by tie thousands are 5cl"s
sacrificed that that Peace on cath"

We enter upon the>19l7 Christmas
season under circumstances never pc
fore confronting christendom. New
or in the history of the world have
there been 50 many nations at war
certainly never before SO many dead
and wounded and bleeding upon the
manv battlefields. Never before
since the foundation of the world
has there been so gigantic strug-
ole for the contamination OF that
HPeace on earth" as is in progress
TODAY throughout Europe.
Even we OF peaceful, prosperous
contented America have been drawn
into the maelstrom of the fierce
fighting. Multiplied thousands Of
our boys are in the training camps
Other thousands are cover there,
sharing with their British and Frencl
and Italian comrades the dangers ant
the bardships and the privation'
brought on by war. Unitedly the!
are fighting for that peace OF
earth"

SYNOPSIS OF WEED LAW OF THE
STATE OF IDAHO.

The First National Bank has issued
a booklet for the benefit of its patrons,
setting forth in a brief but concise way
the provisions of the new weed law
which will be enforced next year, as
follows:
This act provides that County Com
missioners on their own initiative or
upon petition of ten resident freehold
ers within the county to order the de-
struction, on any given agriculture
area within said county, of weeds
deemed injurious to crops. Naming
them). Notice of such order shall be
posted in three different places in the
county and served upon the owners Of
the premises in said agriculture area.
The act further provides that the
county commissioners shall place OF
record in said county a list of noxious
weeds, and makes it the duty of the
Extension Department of the Univer-
sity Of Idaho to cooperate with the
commissioners in asceTtaining the
names, habits and growth of such
weeds.
l. such weeds are not exterminateI
by the owners of the land in the spec
ifed area within the time specified il
such notice, the Commissioners shall
cause the same to be destroyed an

The dry farmers excursion found
that the following practices we're the
best weed control measures in use
in this county and that they were alb
solutely effective:
/. Disc as early as possible in
spring before blowing:
a. to kill weeds already germinat-
ed.
b.. to bring to surface and germin-
ate other weeds.
2. Pillow as soon after discing as
other necessary work permits.
a. this kills second growth Of
weeds.
8. Harrow after plow.
a. to mulch ground
b. to start other weed seed.
4. Harrow four days to a week
later. (when the weeds are Is inch
high.
a. to kill third growth of weeds.
5. Follow the harrow with weeder
if necessary as it usually is.
8. Follow the weeder with the gar
den hoe "a boy with a hoe on a pony
/ gets the occasional weed on many
l acres Remember there are 80 700
to 200, 900 vital seeds in the average
r mustard plant, by actual count.

= diately.

Burn thoroughly all screenings. D

assess the expense of such procedure
as a tax against the land, but in case
the land is of such poor quality as
to make it impracticable to collect the
cost of destruction from such lands or
the owners thereof, such costs shall
be paid out of the general fund of the
county. Weeds in the highways Of
each highway district are to be des-
troyed by the Highway Commissioners
Of such district.
Said act also provides that such or
der may be issued against parties
owning or operating any canal, rail-
road or irrigating system to compel
them to destroy such weeds along their
works, canals or tracks, and in case
they do not obey the order, the same
may be done under the authority Of
the board and assessed as taxes
against such canal, railroad or irrigat-
ing system. This section also pro-
vides for a fine not to exceed 800
in case the order is not complied with.
While no particular form Of petition
is necessary, we would suggest that
the following be used:

TO oYERWHELM RUSSIA.

London. March 26.-Special dis patches from Petrograd emphasize the seriousness of the situation aris- ing from the German cOntTation on the Riga and Dvinsk fronts with apparently the certain intention of attempting to break through to Pe- trograd.
 It is argued that the shortening of the German front in France is part of a plan to oysrwhelm Russia by a sudden and tremendous blow before the country can recover from the unsettled effects of the revolu- ton.
 According to correspondents, in- ternal conditions in Russia, not withstanding the determination of the government and responsible leaders to conduct the war with en- ergy, are disqmeting they say, and that time is needed to restore the discipline of the army and navy after the recent upheaval and they record incidents which are hinder ing progress in this direction.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-sec- retary of War Baker and Secretary of the Interior Lane are devising . plan to employ all interned German subjects, numbering several thou sand, whom it is likely will be ar rested the moment war breaks out between Germany and the United States. Both secretaries are work ing on a plan whereby the intern ed men can be put to work on gov. erument irrigation projects and will be paid the wages of a United States soldier. Guards will be stationed over the men and they will be treat ed as prisoners, except that they will receive pay for their labor.
