Need Great Drive

But army officers declare that a great
drive for volunteers to fill the army
and national guard to the new war
strength will be necessary unless there
is TO be serious delay in organizing the
newly authorized regiments. These of
course are for the regular army and
quite apart from the army to be raised
by selective conscriptions.
Despite the fact the nation is at war
and American regulars are under or
ders for the fighting front in France
less than 200. 900 men have enlisted
since April | in the regulars and ma
tional guards. The present rate of en-
listment 1900 to 1900 day-officials
say must be increased to 10000 or 20
600 n day IL the forces which in all
probability will be among the first to
follow Maj. Gen. Pershing's division to
Europe are to go forward promptly. An
appeal to the country from the PreSi-
dent may be necessary to get the men.
The National Guard is even in
worse situation. The present total
strength Of the force is less than 200, 900
and raised to a war footing. as has
been ordered. should total $50 .n0O. In
addition the is national guard divisions
plan on which the war depa rtment is
working, would require nearly as many
more to fill necessary additional regi-
ments
The most striking fact in connection
with the recruiting rate for the regu-
lars, officers say. is that even the an
nourcement that Gen. Pershing would
lead division to France without de-
lay. failed utterly to stimulate enlist
ment.
II voluntary enlistment fails. despite
the recruiting campaigns that are in
prospect. the only recourse will he to
fill up the regulars and national guard
with men selected for military service
under the draft.

EVERYONE MUST HELP

Why 1t that you see very few men
employees working for the upbuilding of
the community asked a subscriber the
other day.
The question is as old as Job and
never has been answered. This COM
munity is no different from any other
town in that respect.
There is a general tendency on the
part of employees to let the merchants
do it, when anything is to be done
for the town. Altho they do not seem
to realize it, the man who works for
wages has just as much interest in
making this a bigger and better town
as the merchant. The more the-wage
Garner does to make this better place
in which to live the more contented
he and his family will be. If he works
shoulder to shoulder with the merchant
to bring new industries here it means
that he is going to have just that many
more opportunities to get better job,
to improve his condition in life.
Only as the town grows can the en-
ploye expect his opportunities and his
wages to grow, so it is just as much
to his interest as any one else to get
out and make this a bigger and better
community

GOODING MOTOR COMPANY

The Gooding Motor Company. with
branches at Gooding, Twin Falls and
Burley, and agencies established at a
number of other points in its field both
north and south of Snake river, has
recently been promised a full supply
of all needs of the Chevrolet car. The
first two car loads have been placed
this week and the company is now pre-
pared to take orders for the cars for
immediate delivery.
The 1918 model of the Chevrolet,
which is now on hand it is claimed is
something extraordinary in the way of
motor values. Lighter in weight, eco
nomical in the use of gasoline and oil,
with tire mileage not exceeded by any
car, the 1918 Chevrolet now has all the
conveniences and luxuries which here
tofore could only be secured with cars
Chevrolet. 1t has the one-man top, de-
mountable rims, tilted windshield and
many other things which in the past
have been found exclusively among the
more luxurious and costly of the plea
sure vehicles.
Mr. A. J. Schubert, the general man.
ager Of the Gooding Motor Company
while in town recently. in speaking of
the matter said: 1--WE have been labor
ing under a great disadvantage dur
ing the past two and a half months of
having a demand which could not be
satisfied. Some of our statesmen have
taken orders for Chevrolets, which we
could hot fill, the manufacturers having
been entirely unable to meet the de-
mands from its general agencies, and
also from the government. have re-
Gently been informed by the general
western agency at Kansas City that
during the month of August, that altho
orders had been placed by the manu-
facturers for 1000 cars, only 81 were
received. Happily for both the manu-
facturers and also for those who desire
to secure cars, the company has as
surances of both material and labor,
so that in the future we will be able to
secure fair supply of Chevrolets. The
Gooding Motor Company now has or
drs in for something over fifty cars
a month. I do not feel that there is
any danger of not being able to handle
at least that many. and there are in
dications that even a larger number
could be marketed in this field.

Mothers of boys did you protest

Did you shrink from giving your pre-

Did you beg that he might be spared

While others did their share.
Did you beg for his love and his sup

To show how much you care?
Fathers of boys did you protest
When your. country called ''to arms"
Did you falter and whimper and

Did you ask exemption for your son
Cause you could not see him go.
Did you keep him home to care for you
When his country needs him so?
When the call went over the land.
Did you coax and threaten and cry
and plead,
Did you sulk and fret and demand?
