COUNTY CHAIRMEN URGED
TO PUSH WAR STAMPS


All county chairmen of war savings
in Idaho have been urged by James K
Lynch, governor of the federal re-
serve bank at San Francisco, to put
their counties over the top with their
quotas of war savings. To accom-
plish this every county in the state
is making a strenuous endeavor this
week. The government expects the
fulfilment of the war savings obli-
cation just as it expected the state
to come across in Liberty Loans. 1t
will take earnest work to put Idaho
across before the limit expires. Mr..
Lynch says:
"The secretary of the treasury is
depending upon Idaho reaching her
quota in war savings and it is up to
you we must look to put your county
over. It is of great Importance that
Idaho should not make a failure of
this campaign. l know she can sue
ceed and am confident she will"
All chairmen of Liberty Loan drives
in Idaho have issued statements urg
ing a cleanup on war savings to save
Idaho from the stigma of Stacker. Gov
ernor-elect Davis, chairman of the
second and third loans said: "The
state must not now be allowed to fail
OH war savings. Such a blot on the
splendid record we have made on ev-
cry other war drive would be unbear-
able, as view it. The eight million
dollars Idaho has been asked to raise
by sale of war savings stamps is as
much a duty as would be an appor-
tionment for this state of an equal
Of I fraa
has now come for Idaho to dig in
and clean up our balance on war saw
ings."
Chairman Johnson of the first Lib
erty loan said: Il have no fear but
Idaho citizens will put their shoul-
ders to the wheel in the war savings
drive. The coming week Idaho must
fulfill her obligations"
Chairman Monte B. Gwinn of the
Fourth Liberty loan said: Idaho has
made a magnificent record in other
war drives 1t would be a shame for
the state to fail to clean up its quota
of war savings certificates. Nothing
| less than full performance of all our
war obligations should satisfy us. II
is unquestionably the duty of every
loyal citizen to feel deeply his indi-
vidual responsibility in the drive to
clean up on war savings and to do his
or her utmost to put it across. 1t is
duty we owe to the state and the
nation. ourselves and our soldiers, who
sacrificed infinitely more than We
who have been forced to stay at home
can possibly sacrifice. Idaho can moi
afford to let her obligations on any
war demand go by default"

HUNS MUST PAY FOR WAR
TO LIMIT OF CAPACITY
Lloyd George Also Declares the Sub
marine Pirates and DevastatOrs
Must be Punished.

Germany must pay the cost of the
war to the limit of her capacity, Pre-
mier Lloyd George declared in a
speech Friday.
The submarine pirates must be pun
ished. the premier added, and whoever
devastated the lands of another coun-
try ought to be responsible for it.
Referring to the culpability of the
authors of the war, Mr.. Lloyd George
said the government intends that the
investigation to be conducted should
be a perfectly fair, but a stern one.
and that it should go on to its final
reckoning.
Il mean to see that the men who
did not treat our prisoners humane
ly be made responsible" the premier
declared. He added that he did not
wish to pursue policy of vengeance,
but declared:
I'VE have got so to act that men in
the future who feel tempted to follow
the example of the rulers who plung-
ed the world into war will know what
is waiting for them at the end"
Lloyd George, dealing with the
question of the responsibility for the
invasion of Belgium, said the British
government has consulted some of the
greatest jurists of the kingdom and
that they unanimously and definitely
had arrived at the conclusion that in
their judgment the former German
emperor was guilty of an indictable
offense, for which he ought to be held
responsible.

How a Farmer Made $1,000

farmer who kept accounts under

persons. he knew better than to do as
he was doing, but he was Missourian
enough that he had not only to be
shown, but must do the showing him
self. This is where the farm accounts
system came in. He adpoted hog feed

experiments have shown beyond ques-
ton to be practicable. His accounts
convinced him that such methods
were practicable for him.

STORIES FROM THE BAT
TIE FRONT.


How two American Engineers, cut
off and lost from a night patrol, spent
five days within the German lines
nursing a wounded cOmrade, and fin
ally, after they had been As hours
without food or water, rushed Boche
machine gun emplacement and killed
the crew, ran a gauntlet of fire from
a dozen other machine guns swan a
river and got back to their lines with
their patient and valuable information
is one of the stories produced by the
restless fighting during the period
when the Germans, pausing in their
retreat, made stand on the Vesle.
Privates Frank c. Schultz and Ed
ward Morrisy are the Engineers who
managed the episode, and Private
Frank DeBlase. an Infantryman, is
the wounded man they saved.
The three were members of a party
which, with noses for fighting and in
formation, crossed the Vesle one night
and penetrated into a battered little
town on its northern bank. The pa
troll investigated the town clashed
with the Boche garrison, took a couple
of prisoners and returned.
The Patient Arrives.
But Schultz and Morrisy partly be-
cause they had tarried to bandage the
wounds of two slightly wounded sol
diers, lost the bunch and, what was
worse. the direction. They wandered
cautiously around for an hour until.
running almost into the arms of a
German patrol, they sought hasty ref
uge in a hole dug in an embankment
a the side of the street.
The hole was a small one, hardly
large enough to be dignitied with the
name Of dugout, and its limited di-
mensions were taxed still more half
an hour later when DeBlase. blinded,
temporarily at least, by a bullet
wound in the forehead. came cropping
down the street and was taken in.
Dawn that morning disclosed the
plight of the trio. They were near
the southern edge of the town, sepa-
rated from the river and their own
lines by a quarter of a mile of fiat,
openl ground Looking across the
river they could see the hillside
where they knew American sentinels
and artillery observers were station
ed and. looking TO the north, they
could see another hillside where they
knew German sentinels and observers
were on the alert.
They were in No Mans Land-that
part of No Mans Land claimed at
night time by the Germans and held
by isolated machine gun crews who
with the passing of darkness with
drew to the high ground behind.
Too Risky to Try.
If they made a dash for the Ameri-
can lines. they had the strip of open
ground to cross and then the river
with a score OF Boche machine guns
firing from the rear. 1t was too risky
they decided A run for it at night
through the fanking fire of the ma
chine guns near the river was just as
unfeasible.

cutive conference and decided to stick

are at the present time with the fed

ment made by Governor-elect D. w.

sentative Twin Falls people Thursday.
says the Chronicle. Mr.. Davis stated
that because of the possibility of his
being able to advance the claims Of
the Bruneau project on that occasion.
he had determined to attend the con-
ference of governors and governors
elect throughout the United States. to
be held in December at Washington

likely that plans for the development
of natural resources and reclamation
projects will be given a generous
measure of consideration.

l7iSi
MAY PUT HOOVER
IN FULL CHARGE
Appointment of Food Director for All
Allied Nations is Proposed.

The appointment of Herbert G.
Hoover as director of relief, having
charge of the entire food and relief
administration for the European al
lies and the United States. is under
consideration.
1t is understood the offer of the
position has been made in behalf of
the allies and it rather favorably re
garded by Mr. Hoover, although no
announcement has been made.
The general idea of the plan is to
centralize the organization under one
head so that both the food and ton
mage made available by the various
allies would be used under one plan
to the best advantage of each of the
allied nations The director general
would be the supreme executive head
and would work in conjunction with
the existing interallied maritime, food
and financial commissions which have
Headquarters in London. The present
American representatives on these
commissions are Messrs. Stevens,
Rublee. Crosby and Sheldon
Part of the plan is that relief ships
forming an extensive interallied re-
lief fleet shall fly an interallied flag
SO that the countries receiving relief
will feel that it comes from all alike,
rather than from any one country
Mr. Hoover. after going to Brussels
probably will go to London. where
the plan will be considered further.
His party includes Robert Taft. son of
the former president. and DR. Alonzo
Taylor
