GOOD PROGRESS ON
ROAD CONSTRUCTION

One hundred men, 80 teams and two
trucks are now at work ON road con-
structlon in five different places in Ada
county.
This was the report made today by
Gus Carlson, chairman OF the board of
county commissioners, who spent the
morning going over the sections in
which road work is being done. He
reports excellent progress. One crew
Is Just completing the work at the Cess
crossing and within two days will be
moved to the Victory school south OF
Perkins. Another crew is working
southeast of Meridian grading the con-
Meeting link OF gravel road between
Meridian and Kuna. A concrete crew
is also working in that section. Two
miles west of the Whitney school
crew is working on the last two miles
of a highway to connect with the main
thoroughfare which runs east and west.
one and one half miles south Of Merid-
ian.
Something Of the amount of wor'S
done in the county is shown by the
fact that during the last Is months 500
concrete culverts and bridges have been
put In.

Official Registration
Day For Women Set
For September 18th

man s Committee of the Oregon Coun-
ell of Defense, through its chairman,
Mrs. Charles H. Castner of Hood Riv-
er, has designated Saturday, September

girls and women, both trained and un-
trained, for work in the government
service in some capacity, should it be
found necessary for the nation to call
upon the women of the country to take
the places of men in industry in order
that men may be released to join the
colors. 1t is also essential so that train
ed female help may be secured for gov
ernmcnt positions and positions direct
ly connected with military affairs that
can be filled by women.
A properly printed card is to be fill
ed out by every woman and on the day
of registration all assistance will be
, rendered in filling the card. Local com
mitteos have been formed in nearly all
| localities of the state for the purpose
of caring for this work on September
18th and Governor Withycombe, appre
ciating the Importance of this under
| taking, has issued the following proc
| lamation:
Whereas, the women of America
as well as the men who are giving
themselves to our nation S cause, ear
now perform great and timely pub
| lie service; and
Whereas, the woman S committee
of the council of national defense il
| organizing local councils in every com
munity in this state with the purpose
of systematizing and making effective

Whereas, the Oregon division o.
the woman 5 committee of the counel
of national defense desires that Satur
day, September 10, 1917, be set asid'
as the day for the registration of wo
men in this state for service;

greatest possible results. 1t is under
stood that most of Great Britain g
soldiers have received preliminary
training with rifles of miniature type,
that is to say, of small caliber and
light recoil, though built on the lines of
the army rifle.
The A, B, G of Shooting.
The task of teaching Tommy" to
hit what he aimed at proved not task
at all. because he received his school
ing in the a, b, C of the rifle. The
same principles are involved IN shoot
ing the army rifle, with the exception
of greater recoil of the rifle
we may, therefore, take another leaf
from the book of experience which
England has so dearly paid for and
profit thereby to the extent of adopt
inc a similar plan for our new National
Army. What the rifle clubs, organized
for the sport of shooting, have started
out to do the Government should finish,
but it should not overlook the vast or
ganization of nearly 5000 rifle clubs
with the equipment of ranges and rifles
of the .22 type available for teaching
small units of recruits in the art of
craftsmanship.
Rifle shooting in the United States
for many years has for the most part
been from the angle of sportsmanship,
though all the time there has been a
serious aspect on the part of those who
appreciated the value of training rifle
men to be ready in time of need. That
time has now come and every citizen
who has been taught to shoot a rifle
properly will have done Is per cent OF
his duty as a citizen in every sense
that the world implies.
