SOLDIERS ENJOY
CANTEEN TREAT
Soldiers in New York Tell
of Pleasant Experience
Met During Their Stop at
Glenns Ferry.

The eanteen service that has been
maintained at Glenns Ferry by the
Red Cross under the direction of
Rev A. l.. Wood, is being gratefully
appreciated by the soldiers on their
long trips east Mr.. Wood has la
bored faithfully and hard to make
the service successful and the people
Of Glenns Ferry have been more than
liberal in their support of his work
but the time Is here when outside
help must be mustered for financial
support. Mountain Home has con-
tributed little more than 500 and
several loads of good magazines but
when real movements of troops are
started II will require vastly larger
amount The following from Sun
days Statesman gives an idea of the
welcome the soldiers give this cervice.
B. r. Hyatt, secretary of the Boise
Commercial club. received letter
Thursday from Max Maytield, who
left q position in Boise to take up
active work with the federal food
administration in New York in the
sugar division of the administration.
He had pat on the back for Idaho
towns In his praise Of them for their
treatment of the boys on the troop
trains that have passed through
Idaho
His letter reads as follows:
Here in New York You run across
all sorts of people and meet strang-
from all countries on the face Of
the globe. The citizens here feel
very friendly to the soldiers and
sailors in uniform particularly to
the French sailors, who receive very
small wages, something like 6 cents
per day and whenever occasion offers
some kindness Is shown to these
fine fellows; but what | want to say,
Is that / was particularly proud Of
Idaho on account Of its fine name for
hospitality. ] met a sergeant here In
New York, who had Just come east
from Camp Lewis, Washington, with
three batteries of artillery, and he
said that the only state through
which they passed which manifested
any interest in our boys in khaki was
Idaho. He told me that when the
train stopped at Glenns Ferry, the
good people Of that town brought
down to the train boxes of oranges,
for which the men were very CRATE
full. Then when they arrived al
Pocatelo, the people Of that town
presented each man with a package
Of cigarettes and gave each of the
officers a carton of cigarettes. He told
me that nowhere else through all
the states which they passed, going
from the western coast clear through
to the Atlantic coast was any atten-

from Idaho, and was mighty glad to
hear the story Ny hat is off to
both Clenns Ferry and Pocatello, as
these little courtesies and attentions
to our soldiers boys are more far
reaching than we have any idea.
The men who comprise our army at
present are men of intelligence and
appreciate the spirit of these gifts. |
wish some arrangements could be
made whereby the railroad towns,
particularly Nampa, Glenns Ferry

of Belgium under the very sha-
dow of German authority and re-
lentlessness.
Today, though its work has not
stopped, the Commission for Re-
lief in Belgium must do without
