TO FURNISH FARMERS
WITH NEEDED LABOR

In order to meet shortage of farm
help this season, which seems more
than probable now, the department Of
agriculture is making an investiga-
tion thru the country to ascertain
how best to supply men where they
are needed on farms. S. o. Jayne of
Pocatello, who is in the. farm man
agement service in the office of the
secretary of agriculture, spent a day
in Blackfoot this week to learn about
how much farm help may be requir-
ed on Bingham county farms and
how best to handle some sort of en-
ployment bureau in Blackfoot. Mr..
Jayne thinks that If an office is es-
tablished with somebody to keep rec
ords, where farmers may leave word
how many men they need and where
the unemployed may also register,
the shortage may be overcome.
Working on a large national scale,
the department will be able to ship
numbers of laborers from one locali-
ty to another.

Woe Unto the
Man that Fails
To Register

There is no excuse imaginable
that will stand between any man and
the law If he Is more than 81 years
old and less than 81 and fails to
have himself registered by the off,
cial registrar of his district on June
8.
In military matters there are no
excuses. Too much depends upon
military operations Those who make
mistakes must pay by suffering.
IF you are sick send someone for
card, fill it out and have it accept
ed by some registrar on June 5.
If you think you are exempt, for
get it. That is up to the govern
ment. You are not exempt until the
government says you are.
1T you are away from home, reg
lister anyway. You should mail your
card filled out to your home district
registrar, but If it miscarries you
must prove you mailed it. However
you do it, see that you are certain
ly registered Take no chances.
If you do not like to get into SER
ious trouble, see to it. Register on
June 5. The next day will be too
late, very much too late.

THRIFT AND LIBERTY LOAN
BONDS.

There is great campaign for
thrift being conducted all over the
United States-thrift in production
by the farmer and other producers,
thrift In economy in use and con-
sumption by all persons, and thrift
in saving. The thrift campaign is
nationwide. Not only have business,
manufacturing, agricultural and 9TH
er associations and individuals taken
up this campaign, but it has been car
ried into universities, colleges and
schools.
In connection with the last aspect
of this thrift campaign, that of saw
ing, the Liberty loan bonds Of 1917
offer an ideal investment of savings
for small investors. No other small
investment, or large one either for
that matter, has quite the advantages
that the Liberty loan bond has. Saw
ings invested in Liberty loan bond
are just as safe as it is possible to
make them and will constantly draw
interest. While the interest is only
" per cent, the bonds being nom
taxable makes the investment the
equivalent of 5 or per cent in
terest-drawing investment in ordi-
nary securities
Not only is the investment abso-
lutely safe but it is practically as
readily converted into money as a
United States treasury note. To dis
pose of one Of these Liberty loan
bonds may require the owner to go
to bank instead of passing it over
any counter. Yet this is an advant-
age. The trouble and time required
to convert the bond into cash will
give the owner time for thought and
reconsideration, and it is not improb-
able that in many instances the re-
suit will be that the savings invested
in Liberty loan bond will be pre-
served intact where savings in mon
ey would be spent, in part If not in
whole.
There is one other incident to be
considered in regard to the purchase
of Liberty loan bond. The invest
ment has a nature which should ap-
peal to every American citizen. 1t
is backing our government, helping
the winning of victory for Ameri-
ca in war. This has no money value,
but it has a value not to be measured
in dollars and cents.

They say down in the south end of

of banquet They expect to air a
number of booster sentiments at the

MEMORIAL EXERCISES.

In spite of the inclemency of the
weather about one hundred and fifty
people gathered at the high school
auditorium to witness the Memorial
day exercises Wednesday morning. In
the absence of the mayor, who was
to have had charge of the meeting,
w. D. Vincent presided and opened
the meeting with patriotic talk.
Judge F. ]. Cowen, a Spanish-Ameri-
can war veteran, made pleasing ad-
dress, reviewing the spirit of liberty
and the freedom of thought and ac-
tion since the time our Pilgrim fore
fathers came to this country until
the present crisis our country is in
volved in. On the stage were seated
Messrs. Wilson, Earl, Shannon and
Ball civil war veterans; Messrs.
Graft. Cowen and Wheeler, Spanish
American war veterans; Mr.. Bond, a
veteran of the Indian war, and Mrs.
j. c. Fisher, widow of a civil war
veteran, all of whom were presented
with bouquets of cut flowers. The
ladies' sextet of the first ward sang
and the audience, under the direction
of r. H. Clayton, sang America" and
the "Star-Spangled Banner" with
much feeling. At the gates of the
cemetery a procession was formed
and all who had taken part in
the parade marched around the
driveways. The Red Cross ladies
were each given bouquet of cut
flowers and as they came to the
graves of our soldiers they fell out of
line one by one and decorated every
grave.
The services were most impressive
and vote of thanks is due to all
those who took part, those who ar
ranged the exercises and especially to
the Red Cross Ladies

THE TERMS OF THE LIBERTY
LOAN.

The act authorizing the Liberty
loan bonds of 1917 was passed April
"a, 1917. 1t provides for the issu-
ance of $5,000,000,000 of 3R per
cent bonds, the interest payable semi
annually ON December Is and June
Is of each year, The principal is re-
payable on or after the 18th day of
June, 1882, at the option of the gov
ernment, and If this option Is not ex-
ercised the bonds will run full thirty
years and become due June Is,
1947.
The bonds are exempt both as to
principal and interest from all taxa
tion, national, state, county or muni-
cipal, except the inheritance tax,
which is really not tax on the prop
erty, but on the transfer of property
by will or inheritance.
The bonds are to be sold at par;
that is, dollar for dollar, no premium
and no discount. They are to be sold
by the treasurer of the United States
and by all federal reserve banks. But
all banks, national and state, post
offices and express companies have
been designated as agents of the gov
ernment to receive applications for
these bonds. 1t is almost as easy to
purchase one of these bonds as it is
to get a postoffice money order.
1t is not necessary to pay cash in
full for bond. One can pay down
2 per cent of the purchase price on
application-that is, 81 for $50
bond, 50 for a 500 bond, etc.-1S
per cent on July 25, 1917; 20 per
cent July 80, 1917; 80 per cent Aug
ust Is, 1917; and the balance, 80
per cent, August 80, 1917.

MORAN SAYS HE WILL BE NEXT 10
 TACKLE WILLARD

New York, April 13-'rWhen Jess Willard gets ready to fight again I'll be his opponent said Frank Moran yesterday afternoon. The big Pitts burgh heavyweight had just finished his last days work for his ten-round scrap with Tom Cowler at the Harlem
 Sporting club last night.
 And Moran's statement, or rather prediction, listens reasonable when one sums it up. Here are his own
 words: X "Coffey, Morris, Cowler and myself are the best heavyweights in the game today True, Fulton displayed a lot of class up to the time he met
 Morris But he is out of the running now The public will never stand for him again after the deliberate foul punch he delivered.
 II fight Cowler tonight. stopped
 him in six rounds in London back in 1911. Well, I'll repeat it tonight, and it won't take me six rounds to do it. either. can punch too hard for Tom. "A week from next Monday Morris and Coffey clash. Coffey will win sure If he fights Carl the right way-stand off and box him. You know, Jim gave Carl a bad wa1lop1ng a couple of years ago at the old St. Nick rink, almost knocking him out in the ninth round. With Coffey a winner and myself a winuner, why, then it's up to some live promoter to match us again. And the victor of this bout will be the man the public will demand Willard meet. So, you see, boys, Francis has an- other crack at the title coming to him"

KAUFF STAR OF
 GIANTS' TRIUMPH
 OVER THE BRAVES

Boston, April 13.-The Giants got away we'll in the National league race
 here yesterday afternoon, beating the
 Braves to 4, in a g-draWn-out battle on a soggy field. It was an awful day for pitchers to put their wares on exhibition. Dick Rudolph of the Braves fared the worst, as the Giants pounded him heavily in the
 fourth inning, punching five hits, after a wild throw by Red Smith had pro- vided an opening, and thereby getting all their runs in one package.
 Just previously the Braves had ac-
 quired a two-run lead by means of a
 double, a triple, and a single negoti- ated in a cluster against Fred Ander- son. Once the Giants were ahead, however, Slim Sallee, although pitch Ing faI. off form, managed to hold the edge, although the Giants did no fur ther damage against Allen and Barnes. 1t was a miserable day for out-of- door sport, and the players showed little life except for brilliant bits of fielding by Herzog and IKauff, both of whom made plays in the pinches that prevented the Braves from getting into the game after the visitors had forged ahead. The Giants, however,
 whanged the ball hard and their one winning punch was beautifully deliv- cred. KauH got three hits.
 The Giants in their fourth session
 batted completely around the list and
 hit their old chum Rudolph to all cor ners of the lot. For starter Robert
 son got his base on balls and reached second when Smith, after taking Zim- mermans bounder through the mud
 threw too wide for Evers. Rudolph got Robertson at third by fast work on F1etcher's blunt and then the fun started.
 Kauff had a slice of luck when both
 Rudolph and Konetc11y fell over his
 Slow hit toward first. With the bases full. Ho1ke's fly dropped to one run,
 but RaTfden singled to right and then pinch-hitter Mccarthy banged out a
 triple that cleaned things up, scoring at once himseH on Burns's line drive to right field. It was fine rally, but the Giants reached second base only twice during the remainder of the game.
 Sallee took up the pitching burden
 for the New Workers in the fourth in-
 ming and wabbled through the re- main of the matinee. Kauff's great catch came on Maranvilles deep hit m the sixth with a man on base.

FRANKIE BURNS WINS FROM DUTCH BRANDT
 IN WATERBURY BOUT

Waterbury, April ! 13-Frankie Burns, granddaddy of the bantams, administered good sound lacing to Dutch Brandt of Brooklyn in the star bout of 12 rounds at the Auditorium last night. Burns merely toyed with Brandt, hitting him when and where he wanted to in the majority of the rounds! Brandt hit four effective punches in the twelve rounds. After the first two rounds, which were about even, Burns went out and car ried honors until the final gong.
 Chief Turner, the Sioux Indian, out pointed Silent Martin, the deaf and dumb fighter, in the semi-final bout of ten rounds. The Indian deserved honors in four of the rounds, five were even and Martin took one. the fifth.
 Marty Farrell of New York won over Billy Richards of Bridgeport in g, bout that went but four rounds Farrell had big edge over Richards when a second in the latter's corner tossed towel into the ring in token of defeat.

INFORMAL RACES | AT YALE REPLACE
 OUTSIDE CONTEST

New Haven, April 13-Changing his plans to return to England, Guy Nick alls, the Yale crew coach, has decided to remain here and to drill a squad daily in optional rowing. Undergrad uates who wish to work under the coach have been requested to meet him at the Adee boathouse in the afternoons. Crews will be made up daily on the arrival of the rowing squad at the boathouse, and there will be no settled order of rowing.
 All outside competition between Yale crews and other universities has been forbidden by the university fac ulty after the war. but it is regarded by no means impossible that some in- formal races may be held later in the season between eights formed under the supervision of Nickalls.
 Permission to use the Adee boat. house has been granted by the Yale officials to the members of the naval unit which has been formed at Yale They will live at the boathouse, \and will not be compelled to report at any university exercises.

IN GOOD
 FORM AND TANKS
 LOSE TO RED SOX

New York, April 13-The long ex-
 pected spring drive of the Yankees
 is again delayed. Donovan's men
 once more fell before the onslaught
 of the Red Sox at the Polo Grounds
 yesterday. The score was to l.
 Dutch Leonard was on the mound for
 the enemy. In the past, Carrigan al-
 ways caught Leonard, and 1t was fig
 ured by many that the big southpaw
 would miss his former manager moro
 than any man on the club. He does
 not appear to miss him as much as the
 rooters in cities outside of Boston
 hoped.
 Leonard had a lot of stuff and
 pitched pretty game of ball, but at
 the same time he owed a lot to his support. It must be highly encourag-
 ing for a boxman to know that he has
 behind him such a team as the Red Sox. Every one of those regulars is a
 veteran, seasoned and skilful. A ball
 hit anywhere within their reach has about as much chance of getting away as an opossum in Liberia. The Yankees hit the horsehide hard enough to win a couple of ordinary ball games. Time and again it trav e1ed from their bats with pleasing ve- 1ocity, only to have some Boston fielder check it in mid career. One of the surest methods we know to avoid reaching first base is to knock ball at Scott or Gardner, and the home boys did that frequently. On one oc- casion Gardner had to dive headlong at the speeding spheriod, but he came up with it in time to make a force l play at second. l If it be true that practice makes I perfect the Yankees by the end of ] the season should be good against southpaws. Barry has started left 1 handlers against them in two games and is apt to come back with Ruth
 on Saturday. It is probable that every other manager in the American ! League will follow the example he has set, and as practically every club has one or two good port-siders. Don l ovan's men will SC much of tlsat brand | of twirling.
 | One encouraging fact in this regard is that Pipp, who was supposed to be | weak against southpaw, hit the ball viciously yesterday. In fact, four of 1 the Yankees seven hits were made by players who bat from the first base side of the plate.
