HOW CANADA
HELPS THE ALLIES
GIANT MOVE ON F00T TO RESCUE
FARMS OF BELGIUM AND
FRANCE

Prof j. W. Gibson, director of agri-
culture for British Columbia, who is
the guest of DR. II. j. Smith in Mos
COW today while looking over the
University Of Idaho farm, is enthusias-
tic over the work of the British En-
pire Agricultural Relief of the Allies.
This is a new organization with DR..
James w. Robertson of Canada at the
head 1t is doing wonders already,
Professor Gibson says, in the way OF
rescuing the farms in the stricken por-
tions of Belgium and France and in
restocking them with implements, live
stock, poultry, seed and dairies. He is
confident that similar work will be
launched in America at no distant day.
He says all Canada, in common with
the other parts Of the civilized world,
is amazed at the thorough and COM
prehensive way in which the United
States has entered the war. He will
visit the w. s. c. at Pullman before
going to Spokane on his way back
home.

FOR PATRIOTIC RALLY
RED CROSS. LIBERTY LOAN AND
FOOD SAVING WIN MANY
FRIENDS;

One of the best patriotic rallies held
in Latah county this year was that held
at Viola last evening. The III, school
house was packed. Edward G. Rosen-
helm spoke on food conservation, Mrs.
Harry Whittier presented the Red
Cross cause. Prof. Phi Soulen spoke
for the Liberty Loan. There was a
fine spirit manifested. Within Is min
utes Red Cross branch was organic
ed with so members. Practically eve
y adult present signed the food con-
~ Eation pledge, and, notwithstanding
the fact that the district had been can
vassed for the sale Of Liberty Bonds,
three in the audience volunteered the
purchase of bonds and assurance was
given that a number of others would
be taken. ss 9sii z,i.t lsA :,a

FOOTBALL WARR|ERS

with clouds. A victory? | hope so,
but a coach can never make positive
predictions"
This was the only statement that
could be elected from Coach Bleamas-
ter as he boarded the train, but the
members of the team seemed filled
with confidence thought to augur
we'll for possible success.
The following men were selected to
make the trip: Backs-Evans, Graf,
Thompson, Dingle, Roberts, Knudson
and Ross; linemen-Breshears, Robin
son, Captain Jackson, Carnahan, Plas-
ino, Hartwell, Pierson, Perrine, Cow

MOSCOW SCHOOL TEACHERS
EXPRESS THEIR PATRIOTISM

Up to date the public school teach
ers in the city of Moscow have sub
scribed for $3.50 worth of Liberty Loan
bonds and this amount is likely to
be materially increased before the end
of the week. When it is considered
that these teachers get pay for but
nine months of the years and when it
is considered that many of them are
forced to the limit to meet their obli-
cations, their subscriptions for Liberty
Bonds, almost without exception, speak
we'll for their character. One of the
young ladies has three brothers in
the army, but that did not precent her
from taking bond.

MILK FAMINE LOOMS
FOR NORTHWEST HOMES
DIARIES UNABLE TO MEET THE
INCREASING PRICES OF
cow FEED

PORTLAND-Milk and cream in the
Pacific northwest may become a lux
ury-seen only on the tables of the
well-to-do.
United Press reports from various
towns in Washington, Oregon and
British Columbia show that the milk
famine is growing increasingly ser
ious. Dairymen, facing the rising
price of feed, are selling their COWS
to the butcher or stockyard. Thirty
five cows from dairy ranches were
sold at the Portland stockyards in one
day recently.
The situation is probably more SER
ious in Spokane than any coast city
Milk retailers there say they must in
crease the price of milk or go out OF
business. They have offered to turn
their plants over to the city-and the
city may try to relieve the situation
by taking care of the production and
distribution of milk.
Some dairymen in New Westminis-
ter. B. c., suggest that milk be deliv-
cred in cans instead of bottles, ma
king a large saving for the distribu-
tor.
Northwest milk condenseries are
working at capacity-but their product
is becoming scarce throughout the
northwest because a large part of the
canned milk output is shipped abroad.

WASHINGTON-tt is strongly indi-.
Gated here this afternoon that the
country passed the $3,500,00O, 900 mark
in the Liberty Loan drive at noon to-
day. Treasury department reports in
dicate that the nation is aroused to
the highest pitch of patriotic ferwor.
The $4,000, 100000 goal will probably
be reached by Saturday night when
the campaign closes. Bond buyers are
overwhelming the banks and trust
companies. Panama, Hawaii and the
Philippines report brisk sales of bonds.
The president and all members of the
cabinet in Panama subscribed. In
the middle west the German districts
are subscribing heavily now.
Property belonging to citizens of
Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria will be
seized along with the property of Ger
mans. A. Mitchell Palmer, the alien
property custodian, announced today
that this property would be given to
the treasury department for Liberty
Bonds.
