SAVE THOSE EVE LAMBS

Save every lamb possible for breeding is the urgent
message the department of agriculture is sending to
sheep Market for slaughter only those being
absolutely worthless for breeding stock. There is a
strong demand among farmers for breeding stock and
owners of eve lambs should have no trouble finding
breeding market for them through county agents or
the state agricultural colleges. Sheep specialists OF
the department believe that although prices
ing stock high, those who start production of
wool and mutton moderate scale will have no cause
to regret purchasing breeding stock at present figures

Loses Valuable Mare

Violet, one of the valuable Perch
eron mares recently purchased by the
University of Idaho short time ago,
broke window at the university farm
Friday, upset a measure containing
grain poisoned for the killing of
squirrels and ate so much of it that
she died some time after. Careful
investigation made it plain that no one
was to blame for the accident

A DRY WAR

Congressman Sam r. Sells of Tennessee approves
of the attempt to accomplish national prohibition
plea that the manufacture liquor wastes the grain
supply of the country, but at the time he has
hestancy in presenting clear prohibition
to the house providing that after July
ufacture and sale alcoholic liquors shall stop while
the war is in progress, and penazfng violations with
fine of $1,000 five years Imprisonment. Mr. Sells
believes that should follow the lead France

and Immediately institute reforms along that line.

AMERICA IN ARMS.

AMERICA IN ARMS.
We have not willed this war;
Nor heaped for men this monstrous pyre,
But we have striven hels wide shore
To quench the horrible fire.
For this willed to be
BY one who sprang world asleep,
And now his talons out of the sea
Have drawn in to the deep.
In TO the deep and dark
Where his blood is drunk with the splendor
of the ships,
AS he lies in lair with a steel-gray shark
The mad foam his lips
No more, then, now no more
Tis ours to watch by the burning lake
But ours, thank God, to wage this war,
Thank God-for freedoms sake
Till freedom shall be strong
Through hell her heavenly work to do
For force is neither right wrong
SUIT the put it to.
So this is the pledge plight:
That we can fight, who do not hate,
And we for freedoms love will fight
IN the venomed teeth of fate
Grid, then our hearts to blaze
Once more through battles black alarms
God of our fathers, and uprase
America in arms
s. her free sonl may live.
Then ours-to win Thy grail or grave
Are a hundred million lives to give,
But only one to save.

CITY TO LOOK
UP LAKE S ITE

Members of the city council put
themselves on record as favoring
an additional source of municipal
electricity Monday when they au-
thorized Commissioner Gronen to
begin Immediately survey of the
Mineral lake region, for water
storage facilities. It is planned
to use Mineral lake as an emer-
gency reservoir in case of low wa
ter at the city's plant.
Gronen declared that the MIL
waukee railroad wanted 1000 Kill
owats Of electricity daily as soon
as it had electrified it's terminals
here. The American Nitrates Co.
will sign a 10-year agreement to
buy $4,000 worth of surplus Juice
a year as soon as 1t is assured that
the supply will be constant. The
Milwaukee business will bring
$4,000 revenue to the city annu-
ally.

1t was damp and cold in the
hut. Feodorishkya, little Mother
Hubbardovitch' husband, lay out
side, frozen to death. He had gone
forth In the morning to gather
wood, and had come home with a
load-but not of wood. He had
gone to sleep on the doorstep with
the thermometerski at zeroitch
and Little Mother Hubbardovitch
found him there, stiff and cold.
authors note = These details
of winter weather ought to be re-
freshing for a summer story.)
CHAPTER ii.
There was left only Fvydosky,
the dog, and Little Mother Hub
bardovitch. Ivanishki, Masholov,
Schkmgsi, Havrsbtvhjki and Jan,
her five sons, had all gone to Pc
trograd to help Sevreskji and
Arskygtva, their two sisters, buy a
new Rolls Royce. There was no
fire in the hut and the wolves
howled outside. So did the wind.
The wolves were bowling with
toothache. They had tried to eat
Feodorishkva, who lay so stiff and
cold outside, but he was frozen too
hard for even their long, cruel,
white teeth. So they were howl
ing outside, waiting for Feodor-
ishka to melt.
CHAPTER III.
Fvydosky, the dog, whined.
He was cold. He was hungry.
He might have gone out and eaten
wolf or two, but Fvydosky was
fox hound and wolves did not
agree with him. (Did we men,
ton the fact that 1t was cold out
side and that the snow was sift-
ing into the crannies of the hut?
Well, we should have, for a Rus
sian story is always full of snow
and gloom and things.)

There, only few feet away, in
rigid brown ranks, stood the same

seen in Tacoma offices and streets

we had not taken very seriously;
boys in no way different from
other boys and young men.
And now-if one of us runs
away from his job, the worst thing
that is likely to happen is that we

edges of our country, so that our

mics.
We watched them soberly, re-

Mr.. Bean and strikebreakers
should be taken to Germany
where the fight is hottest; they
love to fight so we'll. Or, stood up
one by one and shot. Because peo-
pie that can be bought to take any
kind of part against such a

All our men want is justice and
NO violence. Watch strikebreak-

breakers next, as 1t is a no more

l do not say they CAN be

opinion anyone taking a hand

watching, as our boys are all a

right to live. Don't forget, Mr.

me I'would call this strikebreak-
ing gang a good chance.
