FINAL SESSION is LIVELY ONE
Continued from Page y

was Miss Permeal French who talked
in a most convincing way of cOmmun-
ity war work. She treated the subject
from the viewpoint of the young peo-
pie, emphasizing the need of organized
play, and well directed amusement.
1.-THE women will fight this war for
20 years and they and our children
will finish the war. Our problem is
to SO develop the women and chill
dren that they can cope with the sit
uation awaiting them at the close of
en- of the United States plan to do
which they cannot accomplish" Miss
French dwelt upon the Importance of
taking care of the leisure hours.
"That child is less likely to swerve
from the path of right who has been
taught the beautiful things of life.
You will look after the moral and spir-
itua1 side of the child if you look aft
er his play. 1t is because so many
of our girls have not learned the
fight sort of amusement, nor the
proper way to give expression to their
feelings, that they are now n of the
greatest problems throughout the
country. If it takes money we must
spend it to teach children to play
fairly and to teach all young people
those things which will undo the
wrongs of this war.
The Thursday afternoon session of
H~ousekeepers' week was given over to
a discussion of the housewives tex
tile problems. Following a very de-
lightful piano solo by Miss Alice Bes-
sey, Miss Ada Erwin, assistant state
leader home demonstration agents
spoke on textile conservation. She
showed that high prices were to a
great extent legitimate on account of
the increased cost of raw materials,
fuel, light and labor. The United
States has never been able to supply
her own needs and now foreign supply
is entirely cut off. Patriotism now
demands that we leave the available
wool for army and navy use. Don't
buy wooden materials, then wool will
not be put into material to supply pop
ular demand. Cotton is more expen-
sive on accoun of a short crop and
the big demands for munition work.
Linen comes almost entirely from
abroad now, flax fields are used for
food production so only linen a%vaila-
BILE is small domestic production and
is now on hand in homes, stores
and warehouses. Save you linens!
Use substitutes Japanese cotton
lunch cloths, Indian head lunch cloths,
even white flour sacks, Strengthened
and joined together with seams and
a touch of stitching. Silk is the patri-
otic fibre. Supply most nearly nor
nal.

and the allies be fed; the farmers will
look to the feeding Of themselves, and
it is up to the people in town to hus-
tie and see to it that there is enough
for the third table.
France and Italy are hungry, Col
onel Ousley said. They have no had
a square meal in three and a half
years. Russia collapsed because the
people were starving. They arose
and compelled their government to
negotiate an ignominious peace. Ii
Italy and France collapses from
starvation the a may come to the
United States in six months.
The Spirit Of Hate
Colonel Ousley said he tried not to
hate Germany. He did o hate the
German people, but he did hate the
spirit of lust and conquest, the bestial
thing that is dominating Germany:
Like Harry Lauder, he can love his
enemies, but not the enemies OF God.
The speaker ~eulogized the mother OF
American who is willing to filing
her boys to the dogs of swar." and
thank God for giving her a man
child; but the people must not per-
nit that sacrifice to be made in vain.
When the War Will End
After r%ecounting the debt this na-
ton owes to France, Belgium, Eng
land and Italy for standing between
her and the war, Colonel Ousley closed
by saying that the war would close
only when German ~autocracy had been
battered into dust; when the German.
flag had been driven back to the
Rhine, and when Won Hindenburg a
surrendered his sword to Persh1ng.
Some Exceptional Music
The music was furnished by a vocal
quartet composed of Prof. Eugene H..
Storer, Richard D. Canaan, Russell T.
Scott and Homer Mcdonald; the
University String quartet composed
of Misses Freda Soulen, Hazel Grons-
dahl, Agnes Sweeney and Margaret
Friedman, and the High School orch
estra under the leadership of E. ).
Carey. 1t aroused the assembly to
frequent outbursts of applause.
The dinner was prepared by the
women of st. Marks Guild and was
served by a bevy Of pretty High school
girls under the personal direction OF
Miss Dewey. Everything connected
with the dinner and the service WasI
of the best.

CAUSE Third OF DEATHS
Heart Disease, tuberculosis and Pneu.
monia Are Most Fatal, According
to Statistics,

Washington.-Nearly a third of q
million deaths reported to the United
States during 1915 were caused by
heart disease, tuberculosis and pneu-
mOnia.
Figures made public by the census
bureau, predicted on vital statistics re-
garding 70 per cent of the country's
population, show the deaths caused by
heart disease numbered HAITI, tuber-
c%ulosis, 1O1,3S6, and pneumonia, 49,
1884.
Accidental deaths numbering 6O,O71
are ascribed chiefly to railroad and au-
tomobile accidents. There were 1O,162
suicides last year.

come later. The question of the special legislative
session is wholly aside from this.
1t remains for Governor Alexander to determine now
whether the resolutions mentioned here, possibly
emanating from sources wholly outside the state, are
to carry more weight than the wishes of the citizens of
Idaho expressed through the council of defense; wheth-
er residents of North Dakota are better able to de-
termine the needs of this state than this defense coun-
Gil made up, as it is, of some of the best men and
women of Idaho-citizens who have no political or
other interest at heart aside from the welfare of their
home state.
It is a fact that conditions in Idaho have changed
radically since the regular session of the legislature
adjourned. The nation has entered the war since then,
and many problems, never dreamed of at the time, have
been forced upon the people of the state. The times
are critical and it is the judgment of many wise men,
that a special session should be held to assist the people
arisen.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION

Farmers representing various organizations, at a
meeting in Lewiston recently, condemned by resolution
the calling of a special session of the legislature which
ander to call.
The action of the farmers in this instance is hard to
comprehend because in its request the state council of
defense had set forth as the primary need of a special
session the necessity for protection for farm crops and
the securing of labor, to harvest them. Besides it
pointed out the desirability of favorable legislation on
a number of points which organizations of farmers are
demanding and which would mean thousands of dollars
to the agricultural interests of the state.
Their action from this distance would make it ap-
pear that the meeting at Lewiston was largely dom
development of the Non-Partisan League as a political
organization in Idaho. The significant outcome of the
Lewiston meeting, and other similar meetings held at
various places in the state, was the passage of resolu-
lions indorsing the Non-Partisan League, praising it's
president and other nonresident officers who have
been active in organization work in the state for
some time past; and at the same time condemning the
executive officers and the legislature of Idaho. The
several sets of resolutions adopted at the various Idaho
meetings are so similar in thought and phraseology
that they naturally raise the question whether they
were not prepared and put over by parties whose prim-
airy object is the advancement of the fortunes of the
dent of Idaho.
But it is not the intention of The Star-Mlrror to
enter into a discussion of the merits or dement's of
the Non-Partisan League at this time. That will be
more appropriate in the political campaign that will

LII ENJOY THE CLOSING FEAST
CONTINUED from Page y

refuse to economic on wheat, meat,
sugar and fats were working in hearty
sympathy with Germany. Miss
Rausch said that Germany was ahead
in the war at this time and is prepar-
ed to go to the bitter, brutal end;
she is crazy to get at the United
States.
Feeding and Fighting
Feeding and fighting go together,
Miss Rausch said. There is no use in
furnishing uniforms and guns to the
men if they are to starve. h in
sisted that all have three good square
meals each day to meet the unusual
strain of the war, but to save the
things wanted for the army and the
allies and to live simply and econ
omically.
In closing Miss Rausch read a letter
she received from a little French
orphan she has adopted as an illus
tration of how France has suffered.
It brought tears to the eyes of many.
The Farmers Part
Editor Smith of the Idaho Farmer
said one question was constantly aris-
ing in his mine-how to capitalize for
the farmer the wal sentiment that is
giving the punch to food production;
low to throw a little of the glory in
to the humble home of those who are
striving so hard and sacrificing SO
much.
Hope is in Quiet Places
Col. Clarence Ousley, assistant sec-
rotary of agriculture, made a deep
impression in the final address of
the evening. He is tremendously in
earnest and as he has gone over the
/. country extensively he is in position
to speak with first-hand. knowledge.
The modest little community, such
as Moscow, Colonel Ousley said, made
the republic and now it must say the
republic. He was afraid of the fever
ed cities, he. said, with their white
lights and congested masses and ar
tificia1 thinking.
Why Russia Failed
He cited conditions in Russia as an
Illustration of this danger. He told
of the threat just made to assassinate
the American ambassador to Russia
if Emma Goldman, the anarchist now
in prison in this country, were not
set at liberty. This is the spirit, the
speaker said, that breeds in con-
gested cities. He places his hope in
the small community where people
NAV see God in the clear sky.
The Towns Must Hustle
A significant statement made by the
speaker and one that called forth
applause was that the
snuare-jawed man In the White
House would insist that the soldiers
