SAM LANCE PLANS TO HELP
UNCLE SAM WIN THE WAR

S. R. Lange is getting an early start
for his farming operations for 1918.
He was in Moscow one day last week
and bought from his brother, Christ
Lange of this city, one light gas trac-
tor and one grain thresher complete
with automatic feeder, wind stacker
and weigher complete. He also pur-
chased 14-inch tractor plow. Lange
says he will save all the labor he can
in the coming year, raise all the grain
he can and save all the feed. He is
doing this to help win the war. His
outfit will be ready for delivery about
March 1. He is planning to raise 400
acres of grain next season, most of it
wheat.

WILL EXPOSE THE SH|RKER

| Uncle Sam out; to give some of thei
time to assisting in the performance o.
numerous duties this nation has {
right to expect of it's citizens in time
of trouble; to feel some responsibility
in the crisis that threatens their very
firesides. If they continue to show dis.
regard and lack of interest especially
when they have no right to do either
they may expect public opinion to
draw it's own conclusions
This war is making strange bedfel-
lows. Men are made and unmade with
the rapid passing Of time, continually
punctuated with stirring events. Those
from whom the least is expected some
times make the greatest sacrifices, and
those from whom the most was con-
fidently looked for, not infrequently
fail.
In Idaho the time is rapidly passing
when just appearance will count. 1t
is what you are doing, what sacrifices
you are making, what you are giving
and how you are helping that will
shake away the veneer If those fin
ancially able to help do not, they
need feel no reproach at smarting
criticism and plain accounting from
their fellowmen. II those able to help
perform the task which their country
places on them, do not cheerfully ac
cept the burden, they need feel no
resentment at being called shirkers.
For shirkers they will be. Satisfy
your own conscience as to which side
Of the line you are on. Dig in and
help.

Judge J. H. Forney, director of the
campaign in Latah county for the
thrift stamp and war-savings certif-
icate lis entering upon the campaign
this week with deep earnestness. He is
after the shirker in the following
statement just given out for publica-
ton:
1t is going to be uncomfortable for
the shirker in Idaho. War burdens
were not meant to be carried by the
few. While no outward census has
|been taken since the United States en-
tered the war, the public, speaking
broadly, has registered subconscious
eral way with those who have re-
sponded readily to the calls for sup
port from the nation, and those who
have. A line has been drawn in the
public mind. This line, as we enter
the war more deeply, will become more
sharply defined. Gradually many of
those who realize they are not doing
their bit will move to the right side
and buckle into the harness prepared
to make willing sacrifice Others will
continue to hesitate They will re-
main on the wrong side. In their re-
spective communities they will become
known as shirkers. 1t will not be a
pleasant classification.
The people of Idaho do not want an
injustice done to anyone.
But they do want their neighbors tc
exhibit the proper spirit of patriotism

some of their worldly wealth to help |
