tort is being made to focus attention

SYST in newspaper publicity.
Vice Chairman George COPELAND

wanting in this great work. The daily
press and the weekly newspapers are
earnestly requested to give the widest
publicity to the presidents proclama-
ton and the recruiting program. 1t is
urged that every weekly newspaper
in Nebraska may find room for the
presidents proclamation this week.
Our information is that only 230,-
600 men have been recruited out of
fun quota of 100000, which is a seri
GUS falling off in the number OF re-
cruits.
"All members of every county coun-
Gil of defense must sense the signif-
canoe of the situation. Every county
defense council should meet and en-
Enthusiastically set about the speeding
up of recruiting. Automobile parties
should be organized, hand bills should
be distributed and local councils
should put on patriotic war paint and
enthuse our young men with the spirit
of the day.
1T should be remembered that
young men between the ages of IS and
q and 81 and 40, inclusive, are eligible
for enlistment in the regular army as
we'll as men who registered for mill
tary service 1t is not urged that men
of professions or trades should enlist.
1t is regarded as extremely important
that the regular army should be re-
cruited to its full strength as quickly
as possible"

is BOISE CITY COMPOSED
OF DRAFT SLACKERS?

Charging that Boise does not have
sufficient population to justify its
classification for selective draft pur-
poses as city of 10000 population,
and that because of it's classification
as such the burden of furnishing men
for the United States military forces
falls unequally upon other Ada coun-
ty communities, interested citizens
of Meridian and vicinity, many OF
whom have relatives in the army,
began circulating petition here
Saturday afternoon, for presentation
to Senator William E. Borah and
Senator James H. Brady asking that
they take the matter up with con-
gress and the war department in
time to secure a correction before
another draft call is made
1t is planned to circulate the petit
tion all over the county. Several men
have volunteered to carry on the can
vass.
Meridian and vicinity has furnish
ed more than so men for all branches
of the military service, the sponsors
of the petition point out. OF these
% are members of Co H, known
as the Boise company Boise, it is,
charged, got credit for several of
these men.
Thirty-nine men or three more than
half of the county's quota Of II,
went from Meridian and vicinity to

More than is Meridian boys are in

4 tion and request You to use your in

department to have the city of Boise
properly classified and placed under
/ the jurisdiction of the local eXemp-
4 tion board of Ada county
| In presenting this petition We
want it distinctly understood that the
| signers hereon are loyal American
ciizens whose desire is to see the
war against Germany and barbarism
/ prosecuted with the utmost vigor and
with the full resources of the nation
Its man, money and material pow
er-thrown into the scale
I'VE believe that conditions require
every man to do his bit, and we hope
that when the final analysis is made
that it may be truthfully said that
there are no slackers in Ada county.
t We believe that our request is a most
lust and equitable one, and will tend
to promote a better spirit of patriot
ism within our county
Three Reasons for REQUEST
Our reasons for requesting the
above are:

WAR BRINGS BIG DEMAND
Fer CONDENSED MILK.

The Boise Cooperative Creamery
company has worked out tentative
plan for installing milk condensary
$4,000 pounds per day capacity, at
some point within its territory ia the
Boise valley, now covered by it's
cheese factories, it was announced
Saturday. Plans for the condensary
will be submitted to the stockhold-
ers at a special meeting called for
Boise on Saturday, Dec. /. The eX-
act site for the factory has not yet
been selected. 1t will probably be
determined when the stockholders
meet at which time arrangements will
be made for the $4,000 investment
that will be required to erect the
necessary building and install the
machinery.
Under the plans now considered
cheese factories now operated by the
company will be maintained as milk
stations. No change will be made with
the present working force of the COM
pany unless it is to improve their
conditions, it is announced The de-
cision to condense the milk now used
in the creamery and for making
cheese, will result i'll the abandon
ment of cheese manufacturing The
company has been making carloads
of cheese for the market. The cheese
factories can be readily turned into
stations to receive the milk for the
condensary.
There is not at the present time a
milk condenser manufacturing plant
in southern Idaho, yet the demand
for condensed milk is rapidly grow
ing, especially when the government
is feeding thousands of men in the
cantonment camps 1t is anticipat-
ed that this demand viii increase be-
cause the mobilization of men for
the army has only started, and will
continue for some time. Condensed
milk and cream is heavily used by
the Sammies. There is a growing de-
mand for the product.

sufficient population to bring it into
the 10000 classification.
20. On account of the recruiting
stations being located in Boise, that
city has been given credit for the
enlistment of men who have come
from the rural communities.
"3. The agricultural industry OF
the county has been impaired eonsid-
erably more by the selectiye draft
than it would have been had the city
of Boise been properly classified and
had to furnish its proportionate share
of the men called to arms in this
county"
