ashamed he declared. .sThat we
should permit any of these boys to
pay from their meagre earnings the
money that is to furnish them the

Prof. Boynton brought new view
OF financial investment in war. He
brought out the moral view of it. The
opportunity which is offered for men
to be part of a great movement which
is advancing the civilization of the
world more in a few years than it has
advanced in centuries. He spoke of
the moral effect of the sale of the
present Liberty Loan issue. Is the
world to believe that our subscribing
for the Liberty Loan last May was
just a typical flash in the pan, or are
we going to back it up by oversub-
scribing this second loan and showing
to the world and to our own men that
we ere accepting the moral and finan-
cial responsibility of bringing that
dream Of democracy nearer. Ii this
loan falls down it is going to have a
terrific moral effect on our own men.
Tt is going to show them that the peo-
pie at homo are Indifferent to their
welfare. It is, on the other hand, going
to be the greatest comfort that has
been given to the enemies of our ma

privilege" to every man and woman in
participating in the great movement
that in so participating he might also
have part in the profit of the sue
cessful outcome of the great movement
in which America has entered and
from which America will not turn back
until her aims are attained.
In the prevailing vein of the evening
George William Bruce, secretary Of the
Milwaukee Merchants and Manufactu-
rers Association, made strong appeal
for civic patriotism which meant not
only the Support of the home town, but
also the support Of the nation.
There was plenty of business to come
before the session. Secretary Kaiser
read an exhaustive report, showing the
work of the Chamber of Commerce
during the past six months. He show
ed that it had entered into many ac-
tivities for the advancement Of the
city and showed a strong promise for
future work Treasurer Funck report
ed that the receipts for the year had
been $8,292.56 and the expenditures
$7,792.55. The annual election of di-
rectors resulted in the reelection of
the retiring directors-Joseph Funck,
G. w. Johnson and Charles FL. Huber
Within a short time special bull
letin will be sent to all members of the
Chamber of Commerce which will give
the detailed reports Of the officers and
outline the plans for the new year.
The meeting was most successful

Chamber Drawing the rain storm to
be present at the dinner and the meet

President Holt of the Milk Pro-
ducers Union is making home run
hit when he says that it is advisable
to examine into the costs of distribu-
button of milk. That is one of the big
problems that confronts the state and
the government. 1t will not be of any
great value to cut cent off the price
paid the farmer if at the same time
the same cent is not cut off the price
charged the retailer. The investiga-
ton should be thorough enough to
cover the sale of milk all the. way
from the man behind the cow to the
baby ahead of the bottle.

IF his views on the Lusitania were
the only failings of the senior senator
he might be excused. His blatant
tongue has been used to hit every other
feature of the war program and it is to

getting the goods for his expulsion.

The home gardener who had fail
ure of it this year has at least the
comfort that he tried to do his bit.
The pigs and insects which ate up the
crop are not able to take away from
him the benefits he secured from work

were probably worth more than all he
expected to raise.

Local Talent Play Pleases

The local talent play given last
Tuesday under the auspices of the
Presbyterian church, attracted a
large crowd. The night was cold
and probably kept goodly number
from coming in from the country.
But even so. the receipts at the
door amounted to something over
$65. This amount, after deducting
expenses. will be applied on the
church piano fund.
The play was rather a difficult
one for amateurs but the different
parts were generally we'll carried
out. Most of the members of the
caste have had some experience on
the stage and this experience. COM
bined with several weeks hard
practice made them proficient in
their various part. More local tai.
ent plays like the one given Tuesday
night would prove very acceptable
to the people of the community.

Tuesday accepted the resignation of
DR.. Melvin A. Brannon as president
of the University Of Idaho. Chair
man Evan Evans of the board was
instructed to appoint committee
to draft suitable resolutions ex-
pressing to the retiring president
the boards appreciation of his work
as head of Idaho's leading educa-
tional institution.
The resignation of DR.. Brannon

tion to be laid before the board.
On December II he presented his
first resignation to President Evans.
No action was taken by the board
Monday night he wired the board
reaffiming his resignation of Decem-
ber and asking that it be acted up
on. The board was unanimous in
accepting it.
President Brannon is not to leave

ment.

Contingent Fund For L.atah

tingent fund of $1,000, the maxi
mum allowed by the statutes, to be
used by the peace officers of the
county in securing special witnesses,
special evidence, and special assist
ance in criminal cases. This appro-
priation is designed to make more
effective the prosecution of mis-
creants who violate the prohibition
laws, but may be used in any case
where the circumstances are such
as to warrant additional assistance
for the officers of the county ir
preparing a case for the state.

May Abolish Pump Guns

A report comes from Boise that
a bill has been introduced that pro-
vides for the elimination of the
pump and automatic shot guns.
The measure is probably intended
for the protection of the game
birds. 1t will no doubt arouse
much opposition among sports
men all over the state as it
is said nearly eighty per cent
of the sportsman use either an auto
matte or repeating shotgun. A
rigid law limiting the number of
birds any one individual may kill
in a day and also limiting the num-
ber killed in a week, would be
much more sensible and would
meet with the approval of the
sportsmen all oyer the state.

Work Begins on Line

Work began yesterday on the new
electric line between Troy and Mos
COW. A. V. Dunkle left Kendrick
yesterday morning with a crew Of
nearly twenty men. They will
start work at Troy, digging the
pole holes and setting the poles as
they go.
1t is estimated if the weather is
not too unfavorable, the line will
be completed sometime about the
first of March. The poles are con-
tracted for delivery as fast as the
crew can set them and the wire
will be strung as fast as the poles
are set.
When this line is completed Ken.
drick and Troy will have the best
service obtainable.
Five tons of copper wire are ir
storage at Moscow ready to be
strung as soon as the poles are set
With the material on the grounc
and plenty of men to do the work
there is no reason why work shoult
not progress and the line be in a
soon as expected.

one reception after another to those
who were members. Even the
Shriners gave smoker" in honor
of the soldier boys. This need not
be described. If you are a Shriner
you need no description. if you are
not you wouldn't understand it if
given.
But the fact remains that the
soldiers were kept here too long.
The army officers in all probability
followed their own rules to the let.

has taken much too long to send &
