Initial Step 70 Independence.

The fact that well.to-do people are
almost invariably "close" and Saving"
and usually have that reputation,
should be mighty good pointer for
those who are always hard up. 1t
isn't luck, Il isn't robbery that starts
young people on the road to independ-
ence. It Is common sense and moral
courage to deny themselves that does
the business.

New Sugar Regulations

Latah county people must adjust
themselves to a plan that will allow
use of not more than two pounds
of sugar per month per person.
This will be 70 per cent of the al
lotment for July. The new order
is due to the serious situation ap-
plying to sugar.
Merchants allotment certificates
will be issued now for the month
of August. Certificates for manu-
facturers, soda fountains, restau-
rants, all public eating places, and
bakers cannot be issued until fur
ther notice.
The national food administration
has allowed Idaho definite, limit
ed amount of sugar for the month
of August and this has been ap-
portioned among the different
counties according to the popula-
tion. Consumers may continue to
get sugar for canning purposes up
to 100 pounds on a sworn affidavit
that they have the fruit actually on
hand for the amount of sugar ask.
ed. Persons receiving sugar will
be held strictly to account for the
use of the sugar as indicated in the
affidavit. The sugar situation is
serious and patriotism will prompt
everyone to use extreme care in US
ing sugar at this time.

Methodist Church Burned

The Methodist church, which was
burned to the ground Thursday
night of last week, was one of the
oldest structures in town. 1t was
built about 27 years ago, was the
first church building in Kendrick
and was in fair condition before
the fire destroyed it. Insurance to
the amount of $1,000 was carried
on the building and furniture but
this will not cover the loss, which
is estimated at S1,500. Rev. En-
mel lost valuable household goods
which were stored in the basement
and carried no insurance.
The fire started about 9:30 in the
evening just as the choir had fin
ished the weekly practice. 1t is
believed that short circuit was
caused in the wiring near the roof,
as no other explanation can be
advanced as to the origination of
the fire.
The household goods of Rev.
Gregory were removed from the
parsonage as it was thought at the
time that this structure would be
consumed. Good pressure and
plenty of water from the city fire
hydrant saved the building and the
only damage done to- the furniture
was in moving.

Must Be l8 or Over To Enlist

The minimum age limit for vol
untary enlistment in the United
States Army is fixed by Congress at
Is years. There have been so many
applications for releases from the
Army of boys under this age who
have enlisted that Adjt. Gen. Henry
P. Mccain has issued the following
circular letter:
''The large number of applications
received from parents and guar
dians for the discharge of minors
under 18 years of age. inclosing
satisfactory evidence that the SOL
dier is under this age, indicates the
necessity of more care on the part
of recruiting officers in order to
, avoid unnecessary expense to the
Government and annoyance to the
troops in the field in the subsequent
discharge of such men, and to avoid
placing a blot for life on the record
of boy whose offense of misstate-
ment of his age arises usually from
a patriotic desire to serve his
country.
Hereafter no applicant under
the registration age will be accept
ed or enlisted until he has proven
to the complete satisfaction of the
recruiting officer that he has reach
ed the age of 19 years. The proof
required will be (a) birth certifi.
cate, baptismal record, or school
certificate, or. in case a is not a
vailable, (b) affidavit of parents OF

Action Of District Board

The district board, which was in
session at Moscow Monday and Tues
day, finished re-classifying the ap-
peals of Latah county registrants.
which included 18O married men
with dependents. The board based
its action of putting nearly all men
in class 4, who were married before
war was declared, on the grounds
that the same thing had been done
in other counties.
The local advisory board reclassi-
fled 226 men, putting them in class
l. Of this number l80 appealed.
The remaining 46 did not appeal
and they were examined and about
half of them ordered to entrain
Monday for Camp Fremont. Cal.
There are about 20 or 25 young
unmarried men, who had been Civ
en- deferred classification on account
of agriculture, who are placed in
class |. The list of these names
will be ready for publication next
week. There were about 100 men
in agricultural deferred classifca
tions and about so of them have
been placed in class l..

u. S. and German Finances

PeSSlmlStlc Americans who view
With alarm our increasing national
obligations may derive a great deal
If comfort from a comparison of |
he financial condition of the United
States contrasted with that of
Germany.
The total resources Of the United
States are estimated at about $780,
300, ,O00O,00O; our annual earnings
are estimated at about $50, ,0O0, ,O0O,-
900. Our national debt, including
the third liberty loan, may be put
around $12, 200, 100000
Before the war our Government
was spending about 81. 900, 100000
a year. When the war is ended,
interest charges, less the interest
collected from our loans to our
allies. Government insurance ex-
penses. and other necessary expen-
ditures growing out Of the war may
conservatively be estimated at
something like $1,000, 100000. We
are confronted, therefore, when
peace comes, with raising only a
couple of billions year revenue, a
slight task for Nation of such
tremendous wealth, capacity, and
resources.
The resources Of Germany before
the war were estimated to be $780,
OOO,O00.0OO. The annual expendi-
lures then of the Imperial Govern
ment were about $500. 100000.
Her debt now is $4,000, 900, 900,
and her resources and man power
have been severely impaired. AT.
ter the war she is confronted with
additional expenditures growing
out of the war totaling some
81, 900, 100000.
The interest of her war debt,
even if the debt grows no larger,
will be about 81 100000, 900. AL.
though she is niggardly in her pen
sions to private soldiers and their
families, 100000 a year
would hardly suffice to pay even
small pensions to her injured and
the families of her soldiers who
have been killed. Her war debt
must be paid some time and sink
ing fund of s percent would ado
$500, 100000 to her annual taxa
tion. Here is a total increase Of
$4,000, 100000 all due to the war
Of course both the United State
and Germany may greatly increas,
their debts, but the increases will
not change the relative situations.
The German Government ha
drained the German people Of thei
gold, even their jewels and heir
looms, and yet the Imperial Banl
of Germany now has but little owe
$500. 900, 900 of gold in it's vaults
The United States has made n
special effort to obtain gold, ha
made no call upon the people fo
the precious metal, and yet toda
has in its Treasury vaults practical
ly 50, 500, 100000 of gold coin an
bullion.

The estimated yield of winter
wheat in the Potlatch is falling
short of expectations since actual
threshing of number of fields has
been done. The most optimistic re-
ports are to the effect that from 20
to 25 bushels to the acre is about
the average.

No Agricultural Exemptions

1t will be impossible to grant de-
ferred classifications to men en-
ployed on farms in Latah county,
during harvest, as had been planned
by the local draft board. 1t had
been hoped that men called in the
draft might be given an opportun-
ity to help harvest the grain crop
because of the scarcity of labor and
an effort to secure permission for
this was made. Governor Alexan-
der telegraphed Provost Marshal
General Crowder asking that men
employed on farms be released from
the August draft call but the appeal
has not availed. The following cir
cular sent out to all county boards
is self-explanatory:
To All Boards:
The following telegram was sent
by Governor Alexander to the Prov
ost Marshal General:
august draft will rob agricul-
tural counties of Idaho Of needed
labor for harvesting crops. Can
quotas in these counties be delayed
thirty days? Answer. Alexander,
Governor.
The reply of General Crowder
was as follows:
"No. E-1958. Cannot delay
August calls without interference
with military program. Have been
compelled to make same reply to
other states who have evolved their
own solution. Illinois for example
has organized thousands of school
boys and sent them into the harvest
fields. August draft will not ex-
ceed Glass l. Attention is directed
to furloughs granted by camp COM
manders in specific cases. These

tingents but must be acted upon by

military program precludes any

STORY OF A SCOT
Soldier Declares Dead Men Held the

Many soldiers who fought through
the battle and retreat at Mons say
that angels saved them from annihi-
lation. The following Is the story, as
told In the April Woman's Home Com

had just been killed in the red horror.
1T was in the twilight when came

stop to see If it were a bullet, or just
sleep that overcame them. And 1t
seemed to me as If the Germans were
sweeping on us like tide. / heard
myself crying on my elder brother
Dougal, and on my mother, too.

have been, but that Is not what saw.
Those who helped us appeared TO my
eyes like the men that had fallen on
our side in the battle Of the Mons.
They had fallen because we were out
numbered and unprepared. They had
died too soon, before all their work
for their country was done. And now
they had risen in the dark to hold
back the Germans. That they fought
with weapons do not believe, but that
they were helping US, know.

ing me. They couldn't go back to my
mother again. but they would protect
me for her sake.
"'Do you see?' | said to the cor
poral.
He saw nothing, but he listened;
and he said he could hear the Germans
shouting. I heard them, too; cries OF
surprise and fear. The corporal
thought they were the shouts Of VIC
tors. but knew who the victors were.

sense Of rest after pain. 1t is not
