it was quite natural to slip in when

So you see 1 can't get as much

There are hundreds of most excel

very keen. Everybody received good
commissions at the last camp but

officers there is to be selected one
major, and only about 80 captains,

pretty good to me. But once out on
the line l am not afraid of competi-
ton and what l learned in the guard
will not fail me and l will get a

with trench warfare. We have con-

X. C.'s Solicit Subscriptions

This week subscriptions are being
taken in all parts of the United
States for the Knights of Columbus
army fund and the subscription lists
of Boundary county are being circu-
lated by L. N. Brown and Tom
Martin.
The Knights of Columbus are doing
much the same kind of work in the
army and navy as is being done by
the Y. NJ. c. A. and in the various
environments the buildings of the X.
c. are open to all religious sects.
In the national campaign an effort
will be made to raise $3,000,000 for
army cantonment work. Prominent
members of the order in this city
believe that this sum will be exceeded
by at least two million dollars.
The Knights of Columbus are now
preparing to enlarge the work of the
organization among the soldiers and
in accordance with this plan call
has been made for 400 priests to
volunteer their services in America
and 200 for service in Europe.
According to the latest report this
morning a total of $175.0O had been
subscribed to the X. c. fund in
Boundary county.

meeting.
The Clifton-Applegate Company's
bondsmen wrote the council asking
for definite information concerning

Clerk Storm was instructed to Sc
cure legal assistance and learn if
possible why the town had not re-
ceived taxes on the merchandise of
J. B. Brody for 1915 and 1916 and
why the residences of ]. l. Monks

chairman. Mrs. Hayes, of Boise, an
nouncing that the government regis
tration of women will be officially
done the week of December 3rd to
Sth.
Mrs. Murray has been instructed to
secure the rural teachers of the
county to assist in the work of regis
tration and these teachers will be
designated as chairman of their re-
spective districts. The registration
cards have not yet arrived in suffic-
lent quantities for thorough work in
the county, but even with this handi-
cap, Mrs. Murray is determined to
make a good record.

no woman will be called for service
unless she has definitely offered her
services and if she does volunteer her
services and then when called finds
that she cannot go she will not be
subjected to any criticism. The wo-
men who must have pay for their
services are as important 20 regis
ter as those who can and VIII offer
their services either at horne or in
some part of the United States, witt
cut any sort Of compensation.
At the meeting to be held We'd
nedsay afternoon Mrs. Murray will
ask for volunteers who will serve

pectei that the women of Boundary
