Worth Fighting For

CHALL this little girl grow up in the sort
20 of American home we know, healthy and
~ happy? Shall she have the advantage of
living and learning in free land, under free in
stitutions? Shall such children develop into the
Liberty loving citizens that free America may
be proud of?
For over two hundred years Americans have
fought valiantly, and died galanty, to win for
themselves and hand down to their posterty the
blessings of liberty, justice, sef-government and
equal opportunity This precious heritage. bought
at so great price, is now threatened.
The question which today confronts America
nation, and you an individual, is .
whether not free America /
is worth fighting for /
Are American children in this and all future
generations receive unmpaired the legacy of
freedom of which we are the custodlans.
shall their country be turned over bodily to the q
brutal rapacous, power mad enemy which has
forced us into this war?
This question cannot be answered by word of
mouth, but by deeds alone

METHODIST CHURCH.

Why should We wish our boys to
find Christ in the camps, if We our
selves are not trying to obey Christ
1T home; The Church is a special
place for the increasing of Christian
obedience.
A lot of moral fog is scattered
when We begin to call things by
their right name. The devil never
does this but Christ always does.
The church is a place where we hear
at least some of the things which
Christ says.
The one sure way to get more
light on life's dark path is to fol-
low what little light we already
have. The church helps US to walk
in the light and to seek more light.
The finest thing in man IS his
power of will; the finest exercise
of mans will is to get in'o harmony
with Gods will The church viii
help us in understanding the will of
God and getting ourselves in har-
mony with it.
Therefore, You are cordially in
vited.

'esentatiVe and desires work start

County Agent can be secured.

barren waste on the praries for miles
in the eastern part of Colorado, is
now producing many thousand bushel
of corn and wheat, and the prices
received are making the ranchers
independently rich. 1t is enccuras-

ducing at time when the products
are so much needed.

THE LITTLE WILLOW
CREEK PROJECT.

The contractor of the Little Will
low Creek Project are laboring un-
der much difficulties in getting ma
terial on the ground. Two cars OF
cement are being hauled from Pay

are transferred from the trucks to
wagons. Six horses are required for
each wagon, and then but small
load can be taken. The work however
is progressing in fine shape. This be-

COUNCIL Of
DEFENSE FORMED

Col. &. f. Muller was eleCIed q cndlI
man of the Executive Committee o
the Payette County Council Of De
fense at an organization meeting
Thursday afternoon at the Cour
House. Ira Tweedy was made sec
retary and Mr.. F. H. Hogue, Mr.. P
Monroe Smock and Mr. j. E. Turner
were appointed chairman of the i'm
portant committees on Labor, Publ
city and Public Sentiment, and FL
nance respectively.
The other members of the Execu-
tive Committee are: Mr.. J. F. Orr,
leader Of the membership drive for
the Red Cross; Mr.. C. w. Giesler,
who has charge of the War Saw
ings Stamps; Miss Fac Sutton, Coun--
t. Superintendent of Schools; Mr..
J. C. Woodward, President of the
Payette County Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Gross; Mr.. NJ. F. Albert,
chairman of the Liberty Loan Com
mittees; Mrs. E. w. Pesse, Presi-
dent of the Woman's Committee for
bClGlISG lOI dg tllt SOuulg anu
Mr.. J. H. Hanigan of the Payette
County Exemption Board.
1t is the purpose of the Council
of Defense to unity to certain ex-
tent and coordinate all the county
war work under this one head To
this end all citizens are urged to
send important information to the
members of the Committee prompt
ly and to cooperate enthusiast cal'y
with the committee whenever call
cd upon to do so. Leaders of the
various war activities in the county
feel that greater results can be Sc
cured with less trouble under the
new organization.
There are thirty--four County Coun-
cils of Defense in Idaho under the
direction of a state Council CT De- .
fense with headquarters at Boise.
DR.. e. A. Bryan is chairman of the
State Council and Mr.. Joseph Han
sen, war secretary to the governor,
is secretary.
Both State and County Councils ar
giving greatest attention TO the
important problem of securing labor
for Idaho's farms and industries. /.
In a recent Bulletin the State Coun-
Gil says; "Idaho's loafers and idlers
should be put to work. The man
who is loafing around the pool halls
and card rooms, wasting his time
should be made to see the error of
his ways and if he does not yolun--
tarily get to work he should be
made to work. When the nation is
at war, no mans time is his own.
1t belongs to the government. If the
government can conscript the young
man-the very flower of the country
for military service, it can con-
script the idler as well.
Lack of labor is one of the big,
serious problems before Idaho. 1t |
is an issue that must be solved. Put :
ting the loafers to work is one way s
of doing so. Idaho should legislate '
the power to conscript them. 1t {
should do so without hesitation /
The General Council of Defense i
was formed at two mass meetings L
held at the court house last week. {
There are now thirty-seven members. T
Other members will be add.d from i
the best workers in the county when i
need for them arises. Mr.. c. w. {
Giesler is Chairman, Mr.. P. Monroe q
Smock and Mr.. F. H. Hogue, vice
Chairman, Ira Tweedy, secretary
aad Mrs, R. A Crump, Treasurer.
