A meeting will be held at 1 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon, July IA, at the
court house in Moscow to adopt a
constitution and bylaws and to other
wise perfect an organization to take
care of the industrial crisis that has
been forced upon the county by the
activities of the I. w. W.
This is the outgrowth of the mass
meeting held at the Farmers Union
hall in Moscow Friday afternoon. At
that meeting officers were elected for
a county organization-a president,
vice president, secretary, treasurer
and executive committee of 10 men,
bers. 1t was also decided to organize
in every precinct in the county.
Work to Be Done
The organization is to operate along
the following lines:
To take steps to conserve and pro-
tect the crops which are so vitality
needed by the government; to pro-
tect the individual, the community and
the national interests; to counteract
through this organization the endeav-
ors of such violent and disturbing ele-
ments as the |. W. W.; to provide ways
and means of assisting in the harvest
ing of the crops; to give protection to
any and all productive enterprises of
Latah county.
Organize Whole County
1t is the plan to organize the en-
tire county along lines similar to the
party organizations. A strong man
has been designated for each precinct
and he is looked to to organize in his
particular locality and see to it that
the right kind of men attend the meet
ing at the court house next Saturday.
In the communication sent out to
these precinct organizers the situa-
ton is set forth in the following
words:
What Harvest Means
Eve are near the time when a
large number of laborers must be con-
Iinuously employed in order to save
the harvest in this county. 1t is ne
eessary for your welfare that your
crops be saved, and it is a national
luty to make this county yield the
greatest possible amount of food
stuffs.
Acts of Violence i'm Latah
due to the national crisis and war
situation our labor supply is dimin
shing This situation is being daily
made worse by the fact that men who
Ire unemployed and who do not wish
o be employed are travelling through |

ion known as the T. w. W. Farm |
md other laborers are being induced

hreats and intimidations, and threats |

permitted to harvest your crops.

"Movie" Exhibitor. Patriotic.

The United States civil service COM
mission has received an expression of
the patriotism of practically all sthe
exhibitors of motion pictures in the
United States. The government is In
need of thousands of typewriter oper-
ators and stenographers of both sexes
for war work in Washington, and thru
it's 5000 local boards Of examiners in
that many cities the commission re-
quested the owners and managers OF
motion picture theaters to allow free
of charge an announcement on their
screens of this need Of the government.
The refusals were SO few as to be
negligible. Not more than hundred
| of the 10000 odd eXhibitorsswho were
approached declined to render to the
people the service asked. Even these
can not be charged with disloyalty;
most of them held decided views as to
their duty to their patrons who pay
for entertainment only The only criti-
cism of the government came from
three exhibitors who declined on the
ground that is was proposed to place
| q tax on motion picture tickets. One
lewner asked remuneration in the sum
OF Is cents q week, and another stipu-
lated that he was to be relieved of any
responsibility for damage to the slides
furnished by the government The
slides cost less than 10 cents each.
Almost without exception The
'movie" men were not only willing. but
were even eager to serve the govern
ment in the manner requested. 1t is
ilitrssting to note in this connection
that the estimated daily attendance at
motion picture shows In the United
States Is ten million. This allows an
average OF 500 for each house.

Committees Raise $4,000 More.

today, when Chairman ]. L. Wylie, OF
Gilman, telephoned County Chairman
C. c. st. Clair that his committees had

was $4,000. There has been subscribed
up to this morning S96.45O, and bet

helped offset the less encouraging re-
ports from a few of the other country
districts, where the committees are
having hard Shedding. While cases of
absolutely refusing to give are in the
minority, the communities have falist.

SAVING OF WOOL AND COTTON
Conservation Important Because Of
Shortage and Mendins Should Re.
ceive Careful Consideration.

Mendlng day assumes new import.
ance and the mendlng bag takes on
unwonted dignity now that war con-
ditiOns prevail. Once II was perhaps
our own affair whether or not we
mended as cOnscientiously as our
neighbor. But now that there Is q
shortage of wool and no great abund-
ance of other fabrics 1t amounts to a
positive sin to throw away any gar.
mcnts so long as they may be mended
into usefulness at any reasonable ex.
penditure of time and energy, says an
exchange.
If we feel that our own time is too
valuable to spend on the mending then
we should employ some one to do the
task for us. There are always old or
semi.invalld persons who would be
glad to do the mcnding either as a
help for their own support or, If they
are well provided for, as means Of
earning money for some charity or
other work.
Even IL we do not save a very great
deal of actual money by having the old
clothes mended we should attend to It,
for In so doing we are conserving wool
and cotton--an act almost as import.
ant as conserving wheat and meat.

In the apparel offered for this sea-

BY this time let us hope that there
are more Christmas packages in
France, by many thousands, than there
are American soldiers. We know that
the Red Cross will gee that they are
all properly distributed. If there are
any women among us who sent moth
ing. through neglect or oversight, our
self-respect must be suffering. We
can reinstate 1t and retrieve ourselves
by getting busy for the boys in the
environments ut home. There are six
hundred thousand of them, besides the
thousands In our regular army posts
and in the navy. Now Is the time for
women to send an expression of their
good will to all our soldiers.

can Red Cross has issued bulletin
giving suggestions for Christmas pack

directions for packing them. This bull

amount not exceeding $1.5O be select

following manner:

The bulletin suggests that dried
fruits and other food products should
be packed in small tin or wooden
boxes. Send only hard candies or

SIMPLE and SMART
Combination Not Often Found in
Multitude Of Blouses.
PepIun Model, Favorite Among French
Women, Has Not Gained Much
Head~ay In America.

To discover variety In blouse styles,
especially simple ones that may be
made at home, is real task these
days. Designers of blouses seem to
have habit of quite overlooking the
demands of women of simple taste.
and while never have there been so
many different blouse styles seen, pep
lum and nonpeplum, low collar and
high collar, short and long sleeves, fit-
ted, semi-ftted and baggy, simple ones
are scarce.
Therefore, when somebody does dis.
cover q blouse that Is simple and yet
smart, this individual Is looked upon
as something Of genius, declares a
writer in the Washington Star. The
little blouse shown in the sketch Is an
excellent example of the smart blouse
characterized by extreme simplicity.
The garment fastens In the center
back and has deep capelike collar
which extends over the shoulders and
hangs low on the sleeves.

by lightly caught stitches, and opens

being finished in the same manner as
the ones that drape the sleeves. A cuff
finished on either side with fluted ruff

neck Is also trimmed with q double

Georgette was used for this blouse,
and to make 1t three yards of material
will be required.
