ARE ORGANIZING
IDAHO FARMERs

\ report from Boise states that
If the North Dakota movement
does not make itself felt in Idaho
politics at the next state election
il will not be because the farmers
OF the state were not made fam
iliar with the movement. Organ
izers have been in the field for
weeks.
Little is being said about the
work, but it is we'll known that
the non-partizan organization,
designed to play a part in the
future politics of the state, is
growing and that those who are
backing it are not allowing grass
to grow under their feet. -
The work of organizing was
started some time ago. Several
counties have already been can
vassed, but no statement regard
ing the results have been given
out. The tactics being pursued
indicate that the campaign TO
organize is on the still hunt or
der and that little or no publicity
is to be given the procedure until
the work is accomplished.
Close political observers in
Idaho say that it will be impis-
sible for any person to be elected
to Office who does not have the
endorsement of the farmers or
ganization, especially if it works
in harmony with organized labor
of Idaho.
1t is understood that the nom
partisan league does not intend
TO put a ticket in the field, unless
ii finds it impossible to have sat-
isfactory candidates named on
either the democratic or the re-
publican ticket.

BOARDS DRAFTED.
Some Changes in Ruling as to
Heights and Weights.

Columbia, Aug. 23.-Members of
exemption boards are just as effect
lively drafted under the selective SER
vice law as the soldiers they select
for duty, SAYS the latest ruling 0i
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowier, re-
eived by lha once OF Governor Man
ring. Only Nh der exceptional cir
cumstances will the President excuse
a man from serving on exemption
boards, states the ruling, for 1.-The eX-
ecution Of the law cannot be delayed
by refusals based on any but the
most urgent reasons Of necessity"
The President will refuse to accept
designations except when they are
supported by specific statements of
fact accompanying them and the rec
ommendation Of the Governor.
"The great sacrifice that this oner-
Gus and practically incompensated
service has imposed upon the men,
bers Of the boards is fully recognize
ed" says the ruling. at has been
borne with scarcely a complaint by
5000 of the best citizens of the
country. This record of sacrifice and
efficiency stands as remarkable and
significant manifestation of substan-
tial patriotism, for no more valuable
service could have been rendered
the nation in the attempt to organ
ize for war"
Persons enlisted in the enlisted re-
serve corps are exempt from duty If
they Joined prior to the posting Of
their names by the local board, states
the ruling.
According to the ruling, the sur
Seon general has amended his regu-
lations so as to authorize acceptance
of men II inches high, weighing not
less than 10 pounds; 62 inches,
same weight; SO inches, not less
than 112 pounds; also he authorizes
the acceptance OF men Ga inches
high and not less than standard
weight; provided the underweight is
due to temporary causes and can, in
the opinion OF the medical examiner.
be reasonably explained.

DOES NOT ALWAYS DIsQUALIFY
"Flatfoot" Must Be Very Marked to

Washington, Aug. 22.-Flat feet
do not necessarily disqualify a man
for army service. Provost Marshal
General Crowder. in a telegram to
state Governors to-day, called aitcu.
ton to the army ply regulations
which specify that "a broad, flat sole
is common in laboring classes. par
ticuiarly among negroes, and is in no
way disabling"
''In the fat foot which renders a
man unfit for SERVICE" the regula-
tions explain, 1.-The arch is so far
gone that the entire border rests
upon the ground, with the inner an
kle lowered and very prominent, and
the foot apparently pushed out
ward"
Gen. Crowder said in his telegram
that there would be less necessity for
the multitude of questions asked by
local boards if they would observe
the provision of the physical regula-
tons that physical deficiencies "must
be present in such degree as to clear
ly and Enthusiastically disqualify the
man for military service before he
can be found to be physically def
cient and not physically qualified for
military service"
