dependence.
July 4th, 1918, will be an independence Day
that will linger long in the minds of every man,
woman and child living under the broad protection
of the Star Spangled Banner.
This is day so very full of significance, so ire
mendOusly important in the life of every American
that it is serious question what to say here.
Shall we dwell upon the principles for which
the United States of America stands for?
Shall we dwell upon the undying liberty enjoyed
by every American in these United States of ours
Shall we dwell upon the feats of daring and
bravery are being evidenced by American Men
upon the fields of France and upon the waters of
the ocean lying between Here and Over There?
Shall we dwell upon the devotion, particularly
OF the wonderful Women of America who are MAX
ing such wonderful sacrifices and showing such
wonderful bravery during these mOmentous times?
Shall we dwell upon the hope and determined
conviction that "Old Glory" shall never be dragged
in the dust g?
Or shall we simply remind each and every one
of you that tomorrow is The independence Day of
the United States of America, the greatest country
under the most advanced civilization and the freest
most wonderful form of government under the blue
canopy of Heaven, and urge upon each and every
of you to give thanks unto God that you live in
such country?

BOOKS FOR THE SOLDIERS

Next wetk a great drive will be made
all over the United States to collect
books for the soldiers. This means
live up-to-date books, not necessarily
fiction. but any kind of books of lit
erary or scientific value. If you have
lot of old musty, discarded books
burden the collectors with them. They
are as useless to the soldiers as they
are to you, sell them or give them to
the junk man. But if you have a book
given you last Christmas, and one
which you have enjoyed very much,
send it to the boys. They will enjoy
it as much as you have. These books
will be delivered to the city library.
Our city librarian will forward them
to the state librarian who will deliver
them to the proper places. Dig up a
book or two for the soldiers.
What You Can Do
You can pass on to the men in khaki
the books you have enjoyed but will
not read again.
You can give them some. of the books
you like best-books you would like to
keep. They will like them too.
You can send novels, tales of adven-
ture, detective stories and standard fc-
ton; up-to date books on civil mech
anical and electrical engineering, the
trades, business, the professions and
agriculture; recent text books on mill
tary subjects, mathematics, the sciences
and foreign languages; books of travel,
history, biography, poetry and the pre-
sent war; dictionaries and new ency-
interesting books in foreign

NO MORE CLASSES IN SURGICAL
DRESSINGS FOR THE PRESENT

Recent advices from Washington with
respect to probable changes in future
requirements in surgical dressings
make it seem advisable that no consi-
derable number of classes for instruct
ion of teachers of surgical dressings
be held in the immediate future. It is
therefore suggested that unless there
is strong reason to the contrary in
some particular instance, chapters hold
no more classes in surgical dressings
for the present, and no instruction
classes in the future until they COM
municatet with the office of the North
west Division. Glasses that are under
way should. of course, be completed.
The officers of the Lincoln County
Chapter have deeply regretted the de-
lay in organizing the promised classes
in surgical dressings in Shoshone,
which arose from the inability of the
Boise Chapter to send tthe instructors,
he demand being greater than the
supply. The above letter from head
quarters will explain the continued de-
lay in starting these classes.
