Some stirring speeches were made
by j. T.. Carruth, Charles E. Harris
A. j. Snyder and other regarding the
need of making the immediate sac
rifice of laying down our own in
dividual affairs and taking .up~tne
affairs of the nation-of Seacrificing
time the way the soldiers do, if
necessary, to keep khe work well
in hand.
The necessity of finding out who is
loyal and who is against us will re-
ceive attention earl& and the federal
government will receive quick aid in
getting its hand on Neople who are
uttering discouraging Nr disloyal re-
marks or doing anything. whatever
to obstruct the work of defepse,. or
compromising the work of equipfng
the soldiers, making them comfort
able or protecting them from i'm
moral influences. It was said that
every mother who sends a son to
war would feel relieved If she knew
that he would die clean morally if
he does die, or would come back
clean morally when he comes back.
In fact, it is generally agreed that
that one thing hangs heaviest on the
heartstrings of parents everywhere,
and the American people are determ-
ined that the armies they send out
shall indeed be the flower of the
land and the flower of the world in
thought and conduct, and anyone
who would refuse to help to make
and keep them so will be called up
on very quickly to show the reasons
for such refusal. If the nation has
right to levy upon property and
lives, It has and will take the right
to levy almost at will upon the sub
stance needed to keep their spirits
clean, for everything else is counted
beyopd our control for the man in
the trenches.
Every citizen of the county will be
called upon soon to do something for
the war, and no argument nor de-
clining will be expected. A prompt
response, a valid reason frankly
stated, or an investigation of your
loyalty will be in order, and the
American people are behind the
work.

BINGHAM COUNTY IN LINE I,

The United States government, be-
ing in need Of millions of workers
and mountains of materials, and de-
string to take an accurate census OF
all available women power, asks the
American people to set aside SO
much of their regular work as may
be necessary for five days, to make
a complete record of all who can
and will perform. and service, sal
aried or otherwise, to help win the
war;
The principal objects for this
registration are that the government
may have an accurate census of the
woman power in America; to be
able to place women who can serve
in positions of usefulness in many
fields; to be able to furnish women
for salaried positions, whether in
government service or not.
The success of registration de-
pends on reaching all classes of .wo-
men, distinguishing between trained
and unframed service, on having the
cards sgined with understanding and
on having the cards so filed that the
state or local committees may be
able to respond promptly and accu-
rately to any calls from the govern
ment for the service of women.
Registration is voluntary. Women.
will not be drafted into government
service. Registration is privilege.
Women will not be taken from their
homes for government service in
America nor in Europe unless they
definately offer themselves for such
service. Registration is intended for
women loyal to America whether
they are native or naturalized citi-
zens. Women will be asked to reg
lister for any one or more occupa-,,

CORRECT THE CUB

Elijah Jordan was in Saturday to
defend dry farming by offering ad-
ditional information to what we said
about Albert Appel's fall wheat that
looked so promising, but threshed
only thirteen bushels per acre.
Mr.. Jordan said the grain was cut
with a binder operating without
twine, and dropping the wheat in
winrows. Then it lay in the field
about three weeks, was forked up
and handled loose, and the waste
was bound to be considerable.
Mr.. Jordan said he felt as If it
would be a. slander to allowable mis-
taken or partial report to stand as
we gave it, and came in to defend
the soil out that way.

PATRIOTIC MEETING

Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock at
the high school auditorium a patri-
otic meeting will be held at which
Rev. T. P. Graham, chaplain of the
last session of the legislature, will
address the people of Blackfoot on
matters connected with the war.
The western states being farther
sfsom the seat Of war and from the
areas whege wars demands and the
congested condition of commerce are
felt first, does not feel the pinch and
the great need of immediate action
by all of the states, and series of
meetings will be held by different
speakers to bring to us the urgent
messages of the war department to
quicken our organizing and our ac-
tivities.
A large percentage of the popula-
tion Of this county will have to de-
vote half of their time to war work
right away, and some Of the people
will have to devote all their time to
it without pay or thanks, because the
burdens of the fighting world are
falling heavily upon America from
all sources.
