Tom Sharkey Is
Fully Qualified


When Tom Sharkey, the veteran
heavyweight, applied for Y. NJ. C. A.
secretaryship for service on the battle
front. he had one reason-he wanted
to prove he was still real fighter.
Sharkey had at first considered re-
enlisting in the navy, but changed his
mind when told that he would see more
real action right up there with the
army.
What do you think you could do
over there?" Sharkey was asked when
he applied at the Y NJ. C. A. head
quarters in New York for the position.
I'D do anything to keep the boys
cheered up" he replied "Ill box or
put on boxing matches and direct them
in athletics. I'm ready to do anything
they expect of ~ secretary, and I'm
ready to comply with any of the re-
qulrements-run q store, operete an
automobile or put on an entertain

"Do you want to 60 to tho front ?''
he was asked.

ever made name for himself in sports

to big degree in defeating George
Dernell, Pelham Bay, from scratch, who
was second.
Dernell lost considerable ground by
his inability to get off his mark quick
y, but once under way gradually
picked up ground on his rivals At the
70-yard mark Dernell was fourth, and

ponents and was on the heels Of Olson
The latter, however, finished with much
reserve speed, wining by one foot

Deem Breathing.

To maintain good health you should
try to initiate your lungs to their nor
NAL capacity at all times. declares a
physical instructor. The proper puri-
fication of the blood through oxygena-
ton requires ample breathing. Drop
your shoulders forward and then try
to take full breath. You will find 1t
is impossible to do SO in that position.
Breathing Is only partially accom-
plished with the shoulders forward and
the breastbone depressed. The lower
portion of the lungs cannot be emptied,
and instead of receiving supply Of
fresh air they remain filled with resid-
ual air.

wheat. We can hardly believe tina
any true loyal American citizer
would consider the little paltry df-
ference when he knows that wheat
is a crop VIC must have to win the
war. Besides, when farmer plants
wheat, he knows to a certainty just
what he is g3ing to realize for his
crop. And While the price of other
products, are not fixed, it Is uncer''
tain what the returns will be. Let
every farmer that can, plant wheat.
This is no time to consider personal
financial gain. The farmer is in
this war as we'll as the boys at the
front; and thousands of boys at the
front have left good easy positions
where they were receiving $50 and
500 per month, and are now put
ting in IS hours per day in the
trenches for $1,000. PLANT WHEAT.

THE SCHOOLS IN THE WAR
SAVINGS CAMPAIG


The first part of the work to be
organized in connection with the
great War Savings Campaign fol
this year in the State of Idaho
vas that in the schools of the State
n every school and in every school
Dom in the State of Idaho the
Aachers have taken up with their
upils the need of Thrift and Saw
e on the part of all American
dzens, both young and old. They
we pointed out that there are two
ga: reasons; the one is that the
jvernment needs to use the money
rs saved in the. prosecution Of
great war, and the other is
te Importance to the individual lat
on Of saving and accommodating a
s oital or surplus which will be
eded and used by him in the
ture. 1t was pointed out how the
,vnrnment had provided the best
, an yet devised for making the
rcessary saving, through the pur--
las- Of Thrift AMI War Savings
amps, and the pupils were urged
- start Thrift Card and add the
70 bit Thrift Stamps as fast as
ICY could save money for the pur-I
tAase.
There are in the State of Idaho
lready a number of school districts
With 100 per cent record; there are
;everal in Bannock, and there are
rHveral in Washington County already
re forted in; undoubtedly, there are
school districts in other Counties
that have struck twelve in this res
pect, but have not yet been re-
bcrted in to State Headquarters.
here is strong rivalry between
Tn Counties to see which will be
TIE 1lrst to reach this 100 per cent
mark. If it should be attained soon
N our County, it is probable that
we would be the first County in |
Inc United States to reach this per-
'ect mark, for there has yet been,
30 far as We know, no report OF
my County in the United States
which has reached this point.

When war comes 10 nation, the
first essential for the prosecution OF
that war is money. 1t is necessary TO,
arming and equipping an army and
a navy; it is essential for food, for
ships, for dependent families Of
soldiers, for everything that makes
for efficient prosecution of war; and
the total cost is SO stupendous as
Government of the United States
seem trifling 1t is estimated that
in the neighborhood of $4,000, 0O0, >
600 will be spent by this country
alone in the first year that we are
at war.
There are two ways to raise this
enormous sum of money-by taxation
and by the sale of Government bonds.
The Government could take our
money as it has taken our men. 1T
could levy taxes so heavy that the
burden would be well-nigh unbear
able. But it has seen fit not to dol
this, and Congress has authorized
issues of Government bonds, to be
known as Liberty Bonds, to help
finance the war, thus offering toi
the people of the United States the
opportunity to put their money into
the safest and the most glorious in
yestment in the world.

Every citizen of our country now
appreciates fully that our present sup

before. in our history Under pres

war food. 1t constitutes about one
third OF the food supply of the nod

have never before known but just
