STRENUOUS APPEAL IS ISSUED
TO INLAND EMPIRE
FARMERS,

SPOKANE-An urgent appeal to
farmers to increase the production of
hogs is being sent out by othe United
States department of agriculture. The
appeal is being based on patriotic
grounds with the statement that enor-
nous additions to the supply of meat
are needed to win the war. The de-
partment makes the following state
ment:
''The situation is of great import
ance We must have plenty of meat
for our armies and the armies of the
allies in the field, and sufficient meat
for the civilian population.
Hogs can be increased quicker than
any other kind of live stock. There
fore a larger number of sows must
be bred NOW than in recent years.
I'VE now have an abundance of feed
crops-corn, oats, and barley-wltn
which to produce this necessary in
crease in the number of hogs. The
demand for meat is certain and 1t
will be profitable to the farmer to
market some of this heavy grain sup
ply on the hoof.
Pork can be transported more
readily and economically to troops in
the field than can any other meat.
Great supplies of bacon must go to.

in this country; and in the face OF this
we need more hogs than ever before"

CAPTURE
FOOTBALL CONTEST
PROVE TOO STRONG FOR THE
DOUGHTY HIGH SCHOOL
SQUAD

Two long runs made by Neil Irving,
freshman captain and fullback, and
tumble that Alfred, Kinney trans
muted into a touchdown defeated
Coach Werrell's Moscow High school
team 19 to 0 yesterday afternoon in
gridiron affray with the university
freshmen.
The game opened with several sur
prising yardage achievements on the
part of the high school but the fresh
men soon held and Brigham, Cornell
san and Irving started a procession
toward. the east goal posts. The frosh
captain finally ripped through center
at the 40-yard line, shook himself free
from several tacklers and travelled the
rest of the distance unhindered.
Alfred Kinney recovered high
school tumble early in the second per-
iod and gallivanted 55 yards through
the use of a capable straight arm.
The last score of the game came in
period three. The freshmen backs
battered the high school line until an
aperture was made and Irving jour-
neyed straight down the side lines
for an 80-yard run. He converted the
try for goal.
Ted Byorn at half was easily the
high school luminant of the afternoon.
He was responsible for the completion
of several forward passes and on one
occasion sped around right end for
25-yard gain.
In the final quarter the ball was in
freshman territory most of the time
and the high school twice threatened
to score. A place-kick tried by Quar-
terback Fallquist was blocked.

the war was inevitable.
81 want to see this struggle fought
through to an absolute conclusion, he
said because if it isn't we'll have
to fight it all over again in 30 or 40
years"
Nation Gone Insane
He referred to Germany as a nation
mad with the philosophy of Neitsche,
insane with false governmental doc
trines and went on to give several
personal experiences that had befallen
him when he was on the Rhine at the
time of the declaration of war.
He stressed the Importance of what
he called those two highly necessit-
Gus characteristics of the good sol
dier, morale and morality" and went
on to show the important part that the
Y. M. c. A. has been playing in the
of both valuable traits. |
The speaker told a number of "hu-
man interest" stories relevant to the !
war activity of the associations and
closed with a stirring appeal for gen
srous contributions to the fund being
raised.
Humanity is calling upon all the
sons and daughters of men to dress
upon her colors," was his final word.
Men and women of Idaho, what is
your answer?'

)ortant aspects of the Y. M. G. A. |
work and stating that the task of rails
ng $1,OO0,OO0 has been assigned to
he undergraduates of the country. He
closed with the announcement that |
our Liberty Bonds have already been
urned over to the fund by university
aculty members.

that Dean Eldridge has
,een called into association war serv-
ce, paid him warm tribute and ex-
PRESSED sincere regret at his prospec-
i've loss.
