Conveying as an Offensive.

The conveying Of merchantmen has
now reached stage almost of perfec-
ton, after many months work In train
ing both the officers of merchant ships
and the personnel of the patrol fiOtil-
las. While systematic conveying was
undertaken primarily as a defensive
measure. it has now developed that
conveying is at the same time the best
offensive measure yet devised against
the U-bOat
The offensive side Of conveying may
best be shown by an illustration:
When q submarine tries to torpedo a
conveyed ship-as submarines are now
compelled to do owing to the infre-
quency Of unconvOyed shipping-there
is always a destroyer on the scene. and
the chances of the destroyer's "gct-
ting" that particular submarine are
correspOndingly increased. The wake
of torpedo is generally seen by the
destrOyers lOOkOuts, and 1t gives q
good line on the direction where the
submarine is lying. The destroyer i'm
mediately steers course full speed
in the line shown by the wake of the
torpedo and drops repeated depth
charges along this course.
In considerable proportion Of cases
this proves effective, for these depth

during the last four weeks has been

merchant ships but also still more
satisfactory increase in the number Of
submarines sunk.

William J. Byron of Detroit, Mich,

National league. Since he Joined the

Byron has developed into one Of Ten

decisions on balls and strikes are not
questioned often. He has an ideal tenn

reason is respected by players.
Unlike most Indicator handlers, Bill

MILITARY COMPANY
PLAN IS QUIESCENT
Bad Case OF Suspended Animation
General Interest In MOve-BuhI and
Filler Active.

1t looks as if the move for the or
ganization of a home guard in this
city were suffering from locomOter
ataXia. Homer Locklin took the mat
ter up some time ago and left blanks
at number of places. A few signed
but no sustained effort was made by
anyone except the originator. Mr..
Locklin wrote to acting Adjutant Gen
eral Burns, who promised to take the
matter up as soon as possible, but on
his retirement the matter seemed to
be dropped.
In the meantime Filler is proceeding
with the organization of a company
and Bull is bestirring ITSELF according
to the Pioneer, the editor of which is
a Spanish war veteran. Others in
Bull mentioned are Doctor Randall,
II. w. Lehman, Art Cutshalts, Ralph
Weaver, Leslie Nelson, Frances Nc
Donald, Chester Divilbiss, Doctor Wy
att, Samuel Farlow, Ed. Littler, j. H.
Shields, Jr., and j. G. Sloan.
In response to a letter Governor
Alexander gave the following endorse
ment to the Bull organization:
There is no immediate necessity
for this, but it ought to be acted upon
just the same promptly, so if the time
should arrive, everything would be
in working order and all that the Of
ficers of the law from governor down
would have to do is to call upon these
men to assist them. Such organization
in any community will do more to
dispell doubts, allay agitation, and es-
tablish confidence then most anything
else.
1--WE are facing a crisis; we are in
war and we are going to stay in this
war until it is finished and finished
our way, and whatever can be done
by every individual citizen, ought to
be done. The women of Lewiston
have started an organization of this
kind on a similar plan, and 1 am proud
Of it, and we ought to follow it up
and believe it will be needed in some
localities at some future time. There
is nothing like taking time by the fore
lock. l am very anxious to hear OF
the organization of home defense
leagues of this kind and urge upon
the various communities to do this
Nothing would please me better, and
nothing would be more in order at the
present time"
The benefits of such organization as
a training school has been much dis
cussed and endorsed by military au-
thorities. There are many trained
men in Twin Falls and in the opinion
of those competent to Judge, a com
pany could be formed second to none
Commandant James Bice of Dan Nc
Cook post, G. A. r., has now writer
to Adjutant General Moody regarding
the matter and hopes to help arouse
interest. 1t has been suggested tina

BUG HUNT BEGUN BY
NOTED ENTOMOLOGISI
Professor A. c. BurriIl, Head of Com
mittee That Is After Scalp of Farm
Pests Locates Here.

That the bug and the crop pest will
get what Pershing will give the Junk
er if Uncle Sam and the Gem state,
by cooperating can make their drive
as effective as they hope, is the sub
stance of the story told by Professor
A. c. Burrill, station entomologist Of
the entomology substatiOn which is to
be established here. Professor Bur
rill arrived in the city Tuesday after
noon and at once began quietly to lay
plans for the undoing of the aphis, for
the handing of woe TO the weevil, and
the dealing of harm to the hoppers
Professor Burrill says that on ac-
count of the necessity for the raising
of large crops this year, the United
States government is taking especial
interest in the fight against pests and
has requested the Idaho experiment
station to keep close watch an cpl
denies of insects attacking crops.
I'VE expect minor injuries from
many kinds of insects due to late
spring." said Professor Burrill, but
it is especially desired that anything
of epidemic nature, such as Mormon
crickets, grasshoppers, clover. aphis,
army worms, wire worms and the like
which appear in immense hordes and
are destructive over wide acres will
be promptly reported as soon as their
| injuries become evident A committee
on pests to whom reports should be
made, has been appointed as follows:
Plant disease, Miss Nina A. Willis
pathologist, Moscow; rodent pests, Mr.
w. Crouch. detailed from United
States bureau of biological survey
Boise: field pests, Mormon crickets
County Agent John A. Morrison, Pres
ton: clover aphis and epidemics in
general, Professor A. c. Burrill, chair
man and station pathOlogist, Twin
Falls.
"The season is late and the bugs are
starting in some spots, so it Will be
a race between the pests and the pro
fessors. l hope that the losses from
aphis this year will not be great.
wish that l could assure farmers thai
| had a remedy for the aphis, but
am unable to do so positively. l have
what proved to be remedy for small
patches late in the season last year
and l hope that it may prove effective
on larger patches applied earlier, but
although / entertain hopes of 1t.
effectiveness, / shall not say thai
it will Further experiments are nee
essary before a definite statement Of
that sort can be made. What we are
going to do is to try as far as possible
to eradicate all pests, with what sue
cess we will be able to determine lat
err on"
And with this remark which nigh
have been made by T. Edison abou
his anti-submarine device, the ento
mologist took himself off.

A LIBERTY LOAN BOND MEET IS.
Continued From Page -

advantages of the liberty loan bonds.
The funds to prosecute the war
should come from the men and wo-
men of the nation at large, not from
only certain classes. The support of
the liberty loan of 1917 must be uni
versal.
The secretary of the treasury keen
~ appreciates the tremendous service
the American press can render the
nation in this matter and asks your
help.
The following are among the many
advantages mentioned by the treas
ury department in regard to these
bonds:
There are two kinds of liberty
bonds. Bearer bonds are to be issued
in denominations of $50, 500, $500,
and 1000. These Bearer bonds,
which are made payable to bearer,
have interest coupons attached which
are detached by the holder when the
interest installments they represent
are due, and can be cashed at any
bank the same as a United States
! treasury note.
! Registered bonds are to be issued,
which are registered as to both prin-
cipal and interest, in denominations
of 500, $500, $1,000, $4,000, $4,000,
$50, 900, and 100000; checks for the
amount of interest due will be mailed
out semiannually to the holders of
these registered bonds.
| Liberty loan bonds of the first is
sue of OO0,00O,OO0 are to bear date
of June 49, 1917, and to run for thirty
years, except that the government re-
serves the right to pay them fifteen
vars after date. If this right is not
exercised by the government fifteen
years from date, the bonds will run
the full thirty years.
These bonds bear interest at 81
per cent per annum, and the interest
is payable semiannually on the fiji
teenth day of December and the fiji
teenth day of June in each year.
One especial advantage no other
bonds, national, state, municipal, OF
corporate, have is that if the United
States during the continuance of this
war shall issue other bonds at a high
er rate of interest, the holders OF
these liberty bonds have the right t
exchange their liberty bonds FOL
bonds bearing the higher rate of in
terest, dollar for dollar.
They are nontaxable. If your city
county, and state taxes are three mills
on the dollar, not unusual tax, these
bonds are equivalent to ordinary cor
| porate bonds or other investments
bearing 615 per cent.
In addition, no federal tax which
war conditions may later make neces
sary will affect these bonds. Thu
only tax these bonds are subject t.
is the Inheritance tax, which applies
to all property of all kinds whatso
ever.
How Are Liberty Bonds 0btained9
Blank forms of application for tn
purchase of these bonds can be OBJ
tanned from the treasury department
any federal reserve bank, any nation
al, state, or private bank, any express
office, and any post office in tn
United States Any bank or post
master will aid applicant in filling
out his bland and the other act
necessary to obtain these bonds.

players and that is why he refuses to
let them become too serious in their
arguments with him. And that is why
he also thinks it ill-advised for the
Baseball Players fraternity to attempt
10 break into the Federation of Labor.
"The chief trouble with admitting
the Ball Players fraternity to the Fed
Grafton of Labor" says Byron, sis that
baseball playing isn't labor. There is
nothing in common between dashing
over the greensward for a couple of
lhours every afternoon and putting in
eight hours wrestling pipes or running
n lathe.
"The services of a ball player to his
club cannot be measured in terms of
anything that union labor recognizes.
When the leaders of the federation
come to discuss the minimum wage
question with the magnates, they would
be up against a new sort of game. You
couldn't fix an hourly wage, nor daily
wage, and the unions probably wouldn't
want to put up fight to give the ath-
Ietes a bigger yearly remuneration
than is earned by the highest paid OF
The skilled trades.
s'Ban players as rule are very well
off. There are undoubtedly some indi-
vidual cases in which they get the
worst of it, but an ideal condition can
not be expected in any line of work
nor can it be brought about by force
or by any other method that has beer
discovered"
