There used to be an unpleasant
proverb to the effect that boy was
half man, two boys We're half
boy and three boys were no boy at
ALL but Uncle Sam thinks better of
his boys than that. He is calling on
them to register in a Boys Working
Reserve Army that is to help hurry
the Hun into his hole. and then
tramp II down neatly on top of him
and plant corn there. Indiana now
has 5000 boys on its roll and Him
ois. Missouri, Wisconsin and Kansas
have good enrollments also. Clubs
and churches and schools are being
used for enrolling stations and the
cooperation of the various organiza-
tions engaged in uplift work has
been secured. While many of the
boys to be enrolled know a good deal
about farm work now. there is much
to be learned from those who have
made a scientific study of soils and
crops and intensive farming. More
over, the modern farmer has over
come much of the drudgery that is
associated with farm work in most
minds. and the boy who lines up for
service now may find that there is a
stronger lure where green fields wave
than back of the white lights" OF
great cities.
There are six million boys between
sixteen and twenty-one and their I'm
Gle Samuel expects every boy to dc
his duty, remembering that other

"December" in .lvrii

One of the greatest surprises of
Wednesday morning to the people of
Southern Idaho was to find blanket
of ''the beautiful nearly foot deep
covering the ground. This is the
first real snow storm that the resi-
dents of this section have witnessed
during the past winter. So far the
people of Idaho have enjoyed the fin
est kind of weather. such that is be-
yond comparison anywhre. Our fore
cast OF this storm is that il will be
great boon to the Tract. on account
of the added moisture. and it will
also prove a great help in holding
back the fruit trees. etc, until the
proper period for budding, and We
most likely can now look forward
to an abundant suppl of fruits. ber-
ries and other crops.

Army Rife Superior t
That Used BY German Troops

sh'hft ass'> ''s.i'~''>'
That Used BY German Troops
American troops are armed with
n faster firing and more accurate RI
ie than used by the Germans. ac-
cording to our expert designers,
manufacturers. and markmen. says a
statement by the Bureau of Ord
nance. One military critic and writ
er claims the German Mauser does
not permit the most skilled user to
get more than SO per cent OF the
firing speed of the modified EDhld
adopted for the United States SER
vice.
The superiority claimed for the
American weapon is supported on
three counts; Quicker firing rs re-
suit OF bolt-handle design. easier
and quicker sighting as result OF
sight design, greater accuracy of bull
let flight resulting from bullet design
and greater mechanical accuracy OF
chamber and bore.

100000. Every county in the state
has been organized for the drive. Of

quota will be raised within a short
time Idahoans are urged by the
state committee to determine the
amount they can subscribe for and
be prepared TO meet the solicitors on
the opening day of the drive.
