use every endeavor to avoid inter
ference with the work of the farm
ers and other producers during
the planting season.
l beg to suggest that in this dis
trict every possible precaution in
this regard is being taken. The
term in Clearwater county, with
the aid of the bar and court offic-
ials, has been cleared, in SO far
as jury work is concerned, with
out calling jury.
In Latah county the spring term
commenced on April 23d, and is
now being held. The time for the
jury to attend has been fixed for
June 4th when it is hoped the
farmers and others engaged in
planting will have the work SO far
advanced that the term will not
seriously interfere with their
work.
However, when that time comes,
l assure you that no man who
wishes to do his bit with the
army of producers will be interior
red with by court process.

RAISE PATRIOTIC SPUDS
IN HEART OF THE CITY
Lawyer and Athletic Coach Join
Forces to Help Fight the Famine
and Feed the Fighters

With coat of arms adopted, where
on is inscribed patriotic Spuds" Max
w. Griffith, prominent attorney of
the city, and w. c. Bleamaster, ath-
letic coach of the University of Idaho,
have incorporated under the laws of
Idaho for the blowing, planting, and
plucking of a patch of patriotic pota-
toes on an acre of ground in the
heart of the city of Moscow. The
land lies Immediately east of the Will
hanson department store, between
First and Second streets. Mr.. Griffith
said today that Mr.. Williamson had
placed substantial bid on the sum-
mer crop of potato bugs, but as this
is to be a purely patriotic potato
crop, Mr.. Griffith declined to allow
any thct of mercenary or selfish gain
to mar the enterprise However, a
six-wire fence is being constructed
around the acre today to guard against
he possible CONSUMPTION of the Crit
spuds by unscrupul-
ous militarists.

SEND THE HOME PAPER

; j. w. PegIer, connected with
the London news bureau of the
United Press, found on investiga-
ton that one of the insistent de-
mands of the American fighters
abroad is for the newspaper
from home. If the division of
100000 goes to France, as now
seems likely, there will be some
from this community and they
should be kept well supplied with
their home papers. Even now
there are Americans on the firing
lines in Europe who went to the
front by way Of Canada, and
some of these are from this part
Of Idaho. 1t is just as cheap to
send papers abroad as it is to
send them to the different parts
of this cOuntry-One cent for ,
four ounces.

Do You Neglect

his own machinery more than that of

the system at least once Il week is TO
