SPECIAL DIVIDENDS FOR Red CROSS

H. p Davidson, head of the great movement
raise $1O0OOOOOO for Red Cross work, writing Of tn
special dividends many corporations declaring
order to swell this worthy fund.- sounds note O
warming 1t is that there must be nothing said O
done in raising this fund that might raise the sug
gestion of coercion. He says:
while nothing is more important to the work
of the Red Cross than the financial support which
might come to it through such means, nothing
could be more unfortunate than that the Red
Cross should receive from any direction moneys
that grudgingly given, or worse still, given
under any suggestion of coercion. We feel that
we should emphasize this, fear that very ill
effects might attend a successful financial
campaign were it not made clear that all stock
holders who are to receive a special dividend
should thoroughly understand this position of the
Red Cross with regard to contributions of this
nature"

munities Moscow, the principle holds good here

AllHail, 100000 Young Men

The Idaho Farmer suggests that the
keynote of the Fourth of July cele-
brations this year be a tribute to the
mighty enrolment of the young man
hood of the nation. Discussing the
subject it says:
For the first time in it's history the
United States is engaged in a great
world war, the greatest of all world
wars For the first time in it's his
tory the United tates has enrolled the
flower of its young manhood as the
first great distinctive step to partici-
pate in that great world war.
Is not this the logical keynote for
this years national celebration of July
Fourth? Nearly 100000 men have
ENROLLED themselves, most of them
willingly and with unhesitating loyal
ty.
These 100000 young men, whether
they are selected to enter the army or
whether they are Communicated for
duty in needful occupations at home,
each and all have their names enroll
ed and are awaiting their respective
assignments.
Whether in the war that is now shak-
ing the nations to their very founda-
lions or in the mighty economic and
social problems which will follow this
upheaval, these young men are to play
the leading part. 1t is to them that
the country looks, that not only the
nation but the world as well shall, I'M
der God, have a new birth of freedom
and that government of the people,
by the people, for the people shall not
perish from the earth.
There have been years when the
celebration of our national anniversary
was little more than shallow merri-
rnent, but this year it must not be so.
We are entering upon the greatest war
in the history. of humankind. Our
every resource of men and means
must be, and is being, thrown into the
conflict against inhumanity. For the
first time In the history of America
It's young men have been systematical-
~ enrolled that they may. be assigned
to duties on the Fields OF battle or in
the industries 1T home to render their
greatest services to the country and to-
the world 1T faree. Their orders Will
come, and 1t VIII be theirs not to rea- i

WARNING TO POTATO
GROWERS.


Since potatoes have a definite re
lation to the sustenance of the hui
man family it behooves us as growers
to give the crop the best of care
throughout the summer. Unless this is
done, the returns this fall will not be
very satisfactory Protection against
insect pests and diseases is absolutely
essential.
The potato beetles are now out and
waiting for the potatoes to come
through the ground. Unless proper
precautions are taken this insect is
going to strip the potato vines OF their
leaves and decrease the yield mater
tally. In fact this is one of the worst
garden pests with which we have to
contend
Now is the time to see that plenty
of material is on hand for the control
of these beetles. Arsenate of lead
used in form Of paste at the rate of
from to pounds to so gallons of
water or in the form of powder at
the rate of from / to l 1-2 pounds
to SO gallons of water will do the
work If Paris green is used, the
following formula is recommended:
lime o., Paris green 1
o., water gallons.
Either one of these materials should
be applied as soon as the bugs begin
to work Don't wait until eggs are
deposited before making the applica-
tons. Get busy now. Make two or
three applications if necessary.
