4 LETTER TO MINISTER'S
AND CHURCH WORKERS

There seems to be some confusion in
the air as to the use of pulpits and
churches next Sunday in the cam
paign for Liberty Loan and Food Con-
servation. tt is unfortunate but
seems to have been unavoidable. Per-
NIT me to make a suggestion. Inas-
much as the President has requested
that the Liberty Loan issue have
precedence, / would suggest that next
Sunday-October 21st-be more large
ly devoted to that campaign and then
the Food conservation be taken up at
a later date, if possible on October 2S.
This will clear the air and will give
both the great objects fair opportun-
ity to be presented Surely in this
time of crisis and of need ew have no
right to act without harmony and with
confusion.
Yours for Righteousness and Patri-
otism,
DAVID HENRY HARE,
Pastor Presbyterian Church, Moscow.

MADE A RECORD.
IDAHO CONGRESSMAN TIRED BUT
READY FOR LIBERTY LOAN

PROUD OF WORK DONE
CONFIDENT THE NATION WILL
MEASURE UP FULLY TO HER
RESPONSIBILITIES

Representative Burton L. French
reached home today by way of south
ern Idaho where he stopped off for a
couple of days to examine matters
connected with the Boise-P -Payette ir-
rigation project.
Il am mighty glad to be at home for
q little time after the most exciting
and strenuous session of congress
that was ever held" Mr.. French said.
''The session was expected to last
for a couple of months when it was
convened, but the immense amount of
work demanded full attention for more
than six months, and in fact, we would
not now take time off were it not that
we are to assemble again December

Great Record Made

Mr. french declared that no con-
gress in the past in this or any other
country ever considered so much leg
islation and such vitality important
legislation in so short time. He be-
lieves that in spite of the fact that
many times it seemed that progress
was made slowly the future histor-
ian will wonder, not at the length of
time spent, but in the shortness of the
time consumed in shaping this legisla-
ton. Continuing Mr.. French said:
Begin at the Bottom
1--WE have been peace loving peo-
pie and when we recognized state
of war between this country and Ger
many we simply had to begin at the
beginning, as it were, to prepare. The
measures for raising an army, for pro-
viding revenue, for the expenditure
wisely of money raised, the war risk
insurance bills, and numerous other
bills for the protection of the rights
and interests of our soldiers are al
ready on the statute books The SOL
diers' civil rights bill passed the house
and is now before the senate commit
tee 1t will doubtless become law
in December"
Mr.. French feels that it is of term
endous Importance that the Liberty
Bond campaign result in complete sue
cess.
Boosts the Liberty Loan
This will be a powerful stroke
against Germany because it will show
that we are united country 1t will
also give courage and heart to the
allies as nothing else that we could
do at this time. 1t will shorten the
war and thereby save the lives of our
dear boys and the terrible expense of !
a prolonged war"
On Monday Mr. French spoke at |
Caldwell in behalf of the Liberty Loan, |
and last night he held a meeting at
LaCross, Wash. He will give consid
cradle time to this work during the
next two weeks. He plans to remain
in north Idaho till shortly before con-
gress convenes again, and after the
bond campaign is over he will be in
Moscow almost constantly.
