KHAKI BOYS IN FRANCE
HAVE FRIENDS OVER HERE
Good Women OF the Nation to Help
the Men Who Fight For
the Nation

WASHINGTON -. N ews s h u ngry
Sammies in France can count on the
suffragette for current magazines and
newspapers.
This was assured by President Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait, president of the
National Womans Suffrage associa-
ton, in an enthusiastic statement to
! the United Press today
She said General Pershings plea
for newspapers and magazines for his
American boys would be answered.
There is no question of the answer
of the women of the country" said
Mrs. Gait. "An opportunity like that
speaks straight to the mother heart
of every woman.
1T makes easy one of the kinds
Of service that women love to give.
But more than that, to we suffragists
it is an opportunity to give comfort
to men who are fighting our fight
the fight for democracy, for the right
of those who submit to authority to,
have voice in their own govern
ment.'
Our men are willing to risk their
lives for the principle in France. They
cannot fail to bring the fruits of
their victory home
I've will pass the word along TO
the 100000 enrolled in our organi-
zation, and it is safe to predict that
newspapers and magazines will be
shipped from every suffrgist home
to American Soldiers, Somewhere in
France"

FORMER PASTOR
HONORS MOSCOW
REV. A. J. CABLE COMES FROM
. CALIFORNIA TO RENEW MANY
PLEASANT TIES

Rev. A. J. Cable, who occupied the
Baptist pulpit in the absence of Rev,
NJ H. Yager, gave a strong and ex-
cellent sermon from the passage in
Hoz. 8:12. 1t is worthy of note that
a man 76 years of age can hold an
audience with interest and profit.
Rev. Cable came as pastor to the
Moscow church in 1886 and remained
eight years. His leaving was due to
ill health, as his friends thought him
going to California to die. He re-
covered and has held several success
full pastorates in California during
thege 21 years, finally resigning be-
cause he thought himself too old to be
acceptable. Directly upon reaching
San Jose, however, he was elected
first assistant pastor of the First
Baptist church, where he is at pres
ent pastor of Calvary Mission. He
came to Moscow at this time that he
might personally acknowledge a pos
tai card shower given him by his
Moscow friends on his last birthday.
He is being entertained by many of his
former parishioners. His wife is
buried in the Moscow cemetery.

DID GERMAN AGENTS
KILL FRANK LITTLE
Remarkable Statement Made by Lead.
ing Labor Man in Butte After
Careful Investigation

BUTTE Either German agents OF

This today was the remarkable
statement of Secretary Edwards Of
the Montana Metal Trades council
and one of the most prominent labor
leaders in the state. Edwards has
studied the Little killing carefully
but he is unable to choose between
his two theories.
He finds motive plenty for either
theory. If German agents killed Lit

activity. Butte produces one-fifth of
the copper mined in the United States
and, Edwards concludes, German ag-
ents would not stop at taking a life
if they thought they could interfere
with the production of this metal nee
essary in the manufacture of muni-
tions.
On the other hand, Edwards finds
there was suspicion among certain
industralities that Little was a detec-
tive, working to secure secrets Of the
If this theory Is correct,
Little paid for his deceit with his
life.

GOOD RED CROSS

VISITORS FROM MOSCOW CHAP
TER FIND BRANCHES HUSTL-
ING FOR THE CAUSE

The visiting committee of the local
Red Cross, composed of Mrs. Harry
Whittier and Mrs. Fred Veatch, who
for the past week have made an in
spection tour of the branches of this
chapter, report that contrary to the
current opinion that their visits have
been resented they have been very
cordially welcomed. Many Of the
branches have been waiting for fur
ther instructions from this chapter
before going on with their work The
work that has been done is most sat
isfactory and the branches are to be
congratulated upon it. In Potlatch an
especially strong organization has
been built up, much of the credit be-
ing due to Mrs. Laird who has person
ally visited number of other chap
ters and has carried back splendid
ideas to her own organization. 1t is
thought that with the aid of these
branches a unit will be made ready
for shipment soon.

All Moscow Citizens Work
To Make Reception a Success

lately after by Chief Justice Bulge
and Associate Justice Morgan; a pa
rade of all enlisted men, veterans and
volunteers; a barbecue in which one
of the finest steers to be had in Latah
will be consumed; open-air dancing
on the pavement; picture shows; vo-
cal music; athletic stunts, and a gen.
eral good time. The point was en-
phasized that all Moscow is on the re-
ception committee and that nothing is
to be considered too good for the
guests of the day.
Good Work by Women
Red Cross women have been at
work on various phases of the enter
tainment with splendid spirit. They
are to have charge of the serving of
the coffee and sandwiches; they have
rendered aid of great value in the
of the badges and invita-
tions and getting them mailed to the
men.
There is to be another meeting to-
night at 1880 sharp at the office of the
Veatch Realty company when many of

BOARD OF EDUCATION
FAVORS LATER OPENING
But No Definite Action Has Yet Been
Taken in the Matter-Principa
Rich Coming

At the meeting of the school board
last night, there was not quorum
present. The question of the opening
date of the city schools, which has
caused much interest, was to have
come up. 1t is the general opinion of
the directors who were present, how
ever, that the opening date will be
postponed one week, making the first
day September 10th, instead of Sep
tember Sd. There has been some talk
also about the high school opening
later than the grade schools. On this
point no information is available at
this time. Superintendent ]. H. Rich
is expected to return from New York
about August 22d and several matters
connected with the schools will await
his coming, for decision.

COUNTY ATTORNEY
WILL REPRESENT !
PROVOST MARSHAL
WILL TAKE APPEALS IN DOUBT.
Full CASES FROM LOCAL EX-
EMPTION BOARDS

Frank l. Moore, the prosecuting at
torney, has been designated the rep
resentative Of Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder for Latah county to take
appeals to the district board from all
orders of the Latah county exemption
board granting either discharges or
exemptions:
Provost Marshal General Crowder
takes the position that in the con-
scription of men for military service
the interest of the government is para
mount to the interest of the individual,
that all must make sacrifices for the
common good.
Prosecuting Attorney Moore's duty
is to look after the interests of the
government and not of the drafted
men. If he has reason to believe that
any exemption or any discharge grant
ed by the local board is without merit,
he is to take an appeal. Appeals are
to be taken in all dependency cases.
In his instructions the county attor-
ney is to consider himself rather as
one working in cooperation with the
board than as an attorney appearing
before it,
Prosecuting Attorney Moore's au-
thority in these matters comes di-
rectly from the provost marshal gen
eral through the governor, so that his
responsibility is great. His appoint
ment is based on the assumption that
all discharges and all exemptions will
not be in the interest of the nation.

Farmers and real estate owners
catch it, going and coming and

are then subject to all raises in
taxation that the Frankfort State
Taxing Board chooses to subject
them to. They can be raised just
as much and just as often as this
Board orders them to be taxed and
raised, and raised and taxed. In
addition to all this they can be tax
ed for all sorts and forms of county,
municipal, school and other district
taxation in which they have a tax
able citus. There is no escape for
farmers and real estate owners
from any form of taxation.
God bless the farmer and real es-
tate ownerl What they have can
not be hidden or sworn out of
sight Stick it to 'em. They are
public meat. Let everybody eat 'em
and pick their bones clean.
Why not avoid this rank and dam
nable injustice by amending the
present taxing law so that whisky
can be taxed five cents on the gall
Ion, coal one cent on the bushel,
abolish all useless officials = and
