tournament competitions. Several of the
women players who are attending the ma

ment of Miss Cassell last September as

action in the case of the famous woman

THE PLAN FOR HELPING
UNCLE SAM -.
SMALL SAVINGS SCHEME
DIRECT APPEAL TO THOSE OF
MODERATE MEANS TO HELP
IN THE WAR

Judge ]. H. Forney, in opening the
campaign for war-saving certificates
and thrift stamps in Latah county
wishes to say, that the sale of these
certificates and stamps was authorized
by a recent act of congress. Big cap
ital and big business already have
been called into service by the sale OF
Liberty Bonds. The new plan in
vokes the vast part of the small sa-
wings and the small business. 1t will
be popular wherever it becomes
known. The task assigned to each
person is very easy, but very great
in it's effect upon the future welfare

ue every minute of the time, and you
can use it as money whenever you
wish
e. s. Thrift Card
The United States thrift cards are
planned on the same principle as the
war-savings certificates. The total
value is only So, however, and the 20
spaces for war-savings stamps pro-
vide for saving as little as % cents
at time. The whole plan is simplic-
ity, convenience, profit, and service to
the highest degree. 1t gives to every
class of Americans, even those of the
smallest means, the opportunity to
save money and to lend it to their own
government at four per cent compound
interest, with the right to have their
money back, with increase, at any time.
1t brings to every man, woman and
child a strong inducement to econom-
ize in food, clothing and personal in
and to use his savings to in
crease his own fortune, to strengthen
his government land to support the gal
liant soldiers and sailors who are Civ |
ing their lives for us.
Limit Amount of Sales
War-Sayings certificates, United
States thrift cards, and the war-sa-
yings stamps to fill them, will be on
;ale in every postoffice in Latah coun-

with the hope of effecting a cure in a

The Mission of the Seals
1t is for this great war fund to fight
tuberculosis that the Red Cross
Christmas seals will be placed on
sale. Every stamp bought is silent
but powerful promise to the young men
of our land that work is going forward
to stamp out the disease from which
every year 100000 persons in the
United States die.
The conservation of the strength of
our nation in the supreme test of this
war will depend very largely on the
public response to the appeal to buy
Red Cross seals at one cent each.

4 A Challenge to Save
The challenge of this new opportun-
i ity to save and to serve for America
and for humanity must be heard and
needed by all who share the blessings
! of this great free land and who owe
4 allegiance to its flag. America has
/ taken up the greatest burdens that can
come to the richest, strongest nation
on earth All of us, business men,
professional men, officials, and lab
oring men, women boys and girls, are,
first and last Americans and the
tasks and problems of our beloved
country come straight home to us. We
are it's strength and its wealth. We
must carry it's burden and perform
it's tasks. We must win its victory
The small moneys of the many are
now to join the big moneys of the
few A dollar from each of a mil
lion men is mightier than a million
dollars from one man.
Chance for Loyal Service
Millions of patriotic Americans
born and bred on the soil of freedom
are now to have chance to express
their love of their own country and
their purpose to keep it safe and free.
Millions of patriotic citizens who
have come here to enjoy American lib
erty and opportunity under the Stars
and Stripes are now to have a chance
to express their loyal, loving devotion
to the land which in new and broad
er sense has become their father
land-the land which gives them the
of it's free institutions and
and the protection of its |
flag.
Millions of boys and girls who, with |
many a salute, have pledged alleg- |
lance to the flag and to the republic |
for which it stands, are now to have I
the pride and pleasure of rendering .
that allegiance in a real service which
shall help their country to win this
war.
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1917-12-04

of America. The performance OF the
task brings immediate profit to each
person who does his part. The govern
ment pays a higher rate for it than
for the service of big capital. Lib
ertv Bonds are beyond the reach OF
many who are willing to do their part
for their country, but who must ac-
emulate their savings in small sums
from day to day.
What a Certificate Means
war-saving certificate has 20
snaces upon each one of which gov
eminent stamp costing $4.12 at THIS
time may be affixed. These stamps
will increase in value at the rate OF
four per cent compound interest, so
that in five years, at maturity, they
will be worth S. each. A full certlf-
icate. costing $S2.40s will be redeemed
in five years by the United States gov
eminent for 500 in cash. But any
one of the stamps, or any part OF an
filled card, will be re-
deemed in cash, at any time, on ~
DAYS notice, for more than its orr
ginal cost. The stamps and the card
filled, or partly filled, war-savlngs
certificates are better even than cur

Lo, THE POOR FAT MAN

Goodbye. old tummy. you must go, for Hoover has decreed 1t. He says you are a sack of heat and that the allies need 1t. He also says if you and l do not our friendship sever, I'll be disgraced for all my life in spite of all endeavor.
 Time was, old paunch, when you and were lords of all creation; folks gazed upon our ample front in open admiration. But now they say that fat is food, and food is ammunition. If this be true. please don't explode and blow us to pe-dition.
 In days gone by the guy who own ed rotund chunk of suet, he proud ly held it way out front. that all the world might view it. It was his badge of high" esteem and marked him as a winner. It showed that he had won success and never missed his dinner. And though the jealous sprung their jokes and tried to be real funny, 1t still remained the dreadnought shape bespoke of ready money. The gink who owned g padded porch on which to drape his buntir g, 1t seemed that fortune with her smile was ever for him hunting.
 But now you've brought deep woe and shame upon us fieshy critters, and. people give us angry looks where once they gave us titters, and when we puff along the street folks stop and jab our turret, and call it some un- pleasant names and otherwise they slur 1t.
 But if they put us portly guys upon a wartime diet, from Hoover's chro- mo. would judge, he'll also have to try it.-Carlton Fitchett.

isresides at ..sIaissssonn. sPlymoutA, Baltimore. PhiladelpNaa and else where on Americas shores is again attacked. The difference between the time when King George sent hired Huns to America and the present is that science and enterprise have made the world smaller. The liberty-seek- ing people of three centeuries ago could flee from the iron heel of mill tarism. They did so, and when mili- tarism followed them to their havens of refuge, a century and half later, they united and hurled 1t back across the Atlantic
 The lesson from Americas exper- fence carried the geographical bor- der of democracy back to Europe. There a mad monarch, dreaming of the conquests of former worfd-con- ouering monarchs and seeking to sat- fate ambition for place in history among them, attacked democracy' s new borders. It is but span, as dis tance is now measured, from the trenches in France across the Allan tic to our own land. When the per petuity of European democracy was American democracy was lmperiled. All that the fathers who efossed the Atlantic to American shores sought, all that those who foa- lowed Washington fought for. all that those who learned at the knee of Jef- ferson to apply democracy accomplish ed, all that those who fought to pre- serve the Union died for, was again in the balance.
 Therefore the war: ils sacrifices on European battlefronts and it's pri- vation at home.
 The lesson our dead would teach us is that we mako this the last war fdy democracy; that monarchy and be removed root and branch from the face of the earth.- Juneau Empire.

 There seems no doubt of the au- thenticity of the letter. Its writer (the signature Is an exact replica of that of Geo. W. P. Hunt on official docu- ments) for five years was Governor of Arizona, in that office assumed to represent the character of the popu- lation of the great State. Twice he was elected. A third term was denied by the voters, who, at the same time, by a plurality of many. thousands for Wilson, reaffirmed their allegiance to the Democratic party to which Hunt asserts he belongs. Gov. Hunt appeal ed from the verdict of the people. He lost in the lower court. The case now is before the State Supreme Court on allegations of error largely techni- cal in character.-San Diego Union.
