seen sights that would make the

The most terrible thing I saw was
the shell-shocked man. 1t is a sad
sight to behold group of young
blinded fellows led along the streets
by a nurse and you realize that for
these men the light has gone out for
ever. But, even worse, to my mind
is the shel1-shocked man. His nerve
centers are paralyzed He has no con-
troll over himself Some have to be
strapped into their chairs to keep
them from flying out They cannot

squalling like babies, fully realizing
their helpless condition 1t is some
satisfaction to know that many of
these cases are now being success
fully treated
Everybody over there has some
body either in the war or killed. They
have invariably one or two replies,
He has joined up" or "He has gone
under" Yes. they have joined up, or
gone under in the greatest and holiest
cause that ever engaged the mind
and heart of maa. A cause that can
not fail
Yes, labor is meeting and will con-
tinue to meet its obligation to dem
ocracy. The labor movement is not
a movement composed of perfect indi-
viduals, neither is any movement with
in ken so constructed But if all
other elements of our body polite
render service in this crusade in the
same proportion that organized labor
does, there can be no doubt about the
outcome And | believe society as
whole is going to render this service.
The world is awake and the awak-
ening spells the doom of numbering,
raping Germany We say that Prus-
sianism, the Kaiser and his six rotten
sons and all are playing their last
tune. We say that we have no feel
ing against the German people that
cannot be set aside when the war is
ended We, the organized workers
of the Allied countries, declare that
when the conference of the society of
nations is held, the representatives
of labor must be on those delegations.
We declare that we will hold labor
conference at the same time and place.
We want something to say about the
reshaping of the worlds affairs. We
declare that this must be the end of
all wars, that the maximum of good
things existant in any country shall
become the minimum for all countries,
that the trade routes of the world
must be free to all participants in the
society OF nations When the world
has thus been put on human rather
than dollar basis, when man is rated
above money, pathway of peace and
progress will be opened up for all the
children of men, and in that day we
will again extend the hand of brother
hood to the German and every other
worker-James Lord, President, Min

OF Interest to Livestock Men

The following report from the
Food Administration contains news
that should be of interest to live
stock men particularly.
"This information comes to US
that the l. w. w. have planned
this winter to use concentrated lye
and roach powder for killing cattle
and hogs in yards and feed pens.
1t is said lye on rock salt causes
mouth sores, ulcers in the stomach
and rots the feet and that many
people will think it foot and mouth
disease. 1t is further said muriatic
and nitric acid fed in bran will
cause ulcers on hogs stomachs and
cause them to die, closely resemb-
ling hog Cholera ~

OF Interest to Registrants

There seems to be some misap-
prehension as to the cards sent out
from the district board. A number
of those placed in class 4 by the
local board were placed in class l
by the district board and many sup
posed the district board had changed
their classification. But such is not
the case, except in the agricultural
grounds entirely. When the dis
trict board changes classification
it is on occupational grounds and
does not affect the classification OF
a registrant in class 4, who has re-
ceived deferred classification on the
grounds of having dependents.

ber of the course is ladies quar-
tet and will present a varied pro-

reputation as entertainers.
The tickets are on sale at the
Red Cross Pharmacy and all those
wishing reserved seats are requested
to attend to the matter at once as
they are nearly all taken. 1t is al.
so very important that those having
reserved seats verify the number:
on their tickets with those on the
board as there are a number Of
duplicate tickets out and it viii
save confusion to get the number
corrected before the evening of tn
entertainment.

Latah Red Cross Drive

Latah county secured 1854 men,
bers during the Christmas drive.
The quota for the county was set at
25OO and it was thought at first
that this was too high, but the re-
suit of the drive shows that Latah
county is as usual ready to do her
bit. Previous to the drive there
were 26OO members enrolled. The
total cost of the drive in the county

Latah Widows Suffer

Thirty or Forty Latah county
widows are forced to pc. their taxes
in full this year because they failed
to file claims for exemption before
the fourth Monday in June.
This is the awkward problem
Commissioners Lyon, Cone and
Woody have been wrestling with.
Some of the women complain that
copies of their tax schedules were
never sent to them by Assessor
Gemmill and that they were never
notified to file their claims. Others
say they were informed by officials
that they could file their claims
with the commissioners at any time
and have them allowed. The assess
or insists the law was followed in
all particulars.
Before reaching a decision the
commissioners asked for an opinion
from County Attorney Moore. He
informed them that they had no
power under the law to remit these
taxes or to refund them if they
were already paid. He said the
, commissioners could be held person
ally liable if they did remit or re-
r fund.
Some of the women are soldiers
widows and the payment OF the
d taxes will be serious hardship on
almost all of them Star Mirror.

Capital Correspondence

The greatest event in the past
week in the Capital City was the
holding Of the annual Chicken
Show, now known as the Pet Stock
Show. But even that name hardly
covers the ground for in addition
to poultry and dogs and cats and
rabbits there was real live panther
and skunk-the latter we viewed
at safe distance.
Not being an expert on pet stock
our opinion is Of little value but
the cats, despite the extraordinary
care lavished upon them, were
measly lot. The geese. the ducks,
the turkeys, the gunieas, the chick
ems, were of all known varieties and
of standard quality, but there were
some R. l. RS in our back lot that
were not on exhibition and for that
reason did not secure blue ribbon.
The feature of the show was the
Rabbitry. The man who makes his
living by travelling from place to
place judging pet stock is on record
as saying that neither Portland,
Seattle or any other place where he
had been earning his daily dread,
had anything to equal the Boise
rabbit either in quality or quantity
and the Boiseites have been singing
the praises of the judgment OF the
learned judge ever since.
The Boise slogan to win the wal
now is-"Raise Rabbits" 1t is
authoritively stated that if you sci
up pair of these rodents in busi
ness on the first day of January, or
the first day of the following Janu
ary you will have 1872 rabbits ex
elusive of the original pair. Con
tinue the business two years longer
without numbering any of them
and you will have 5S37O4 rabbits
Now salt them down and you will
have one rabbit each day, which
considered a square meal for fiv
grown ups, for 1899 years, 5 month
and 20 days, not counting lea
years.
1t can be readily seen that
Herbert Hoover had started in tn
rabbit business few years ag
with half a dozen pairs he would s
this time not need to be preachin
meatless days. Many of the cattl
men and dairy men have gone, ar
are going, out of business owing
the high price Of hay. In Califo
MIA poultry men are quitting on a
count of the high price of fee

we heard an animated discussi
concluding that As cent eggs al

that these industries have heard

Last Thursday evening the rab'
men contributed 70 rabbits to

dinner. This was by no mes
widely advertised but before
