INCREASED INTEREST IN
FOOD CONSERVATION is SHOWN
Dean E. j, Iddings Brings Encourage
ing Report From Trip Through
the State

An increasingly intense interest in
the problems of food production and
Wand conservation is being manifest
ed by southern Idaho agriculturalists,
according to E. j. Iddings, university
dean of agriculture, who has just re-
turned from a weeks speaking tour
through the southern part OF the state.
Dean Iddings said this morning that
the meetings attended by him at Twin
Falls, Buhl, Jerome, ShOshone and
other points in that district had been
characterized by good crowds and no
little patriotic zeal. He spoke par
ticularly of a gathering arranged for
himself and President Lindley IN
Twin Falls which brought forth an
unusually large attendance.

SCHOOL BOARD
REFLECTS RICH
POPULAR SCHOOL SUPERINTEND-
ENT TO BE RETAINED FOR
ANOTHER YEAR

The school board held it's regular
monthly meeting in the high school
building last night and transacted
much business. The principal item
was the reelection of Professor J. H.
Rich as city school superintendent
for another year. Professor Rich-has
made an enviable record and the
board felt that he is the proper man
for head of the Moscow schools for
the coming year. 1t is certain that
the boards action will meet with the
approval of the parents and with the
students, for the popularity of Super
intendent Rich with the students is
we'll known.
The board decided to dismiss school
some Friday before long in order
that the teachers may comply with the
request of President Wilson to assist
in card indexing the questionnaires of
Latah county The teachers have
been helping on this work at night,
after school hours, but it was felt best
to give them an opportunity to put in
two full days., Friday and Saturday,
at the work, in order that it may be
rushed through, as requested by Pres
ident Wilson The work of card in
dexing the great number of question
naires received from more than 1400
registrants in this county is more
than the local selective draft board
can do and President Wilson re-
quested the school teachers to vol
unteer their services to assist and
they have been doing excellent work
along this line. 1t is hoped that with
two full days to work at one time
the task can be completed

STANDS
WITH Am ERICA
KING GEORGE AND PRESIDENT
WILSON OF ONE MIND REGARD
ING PEACE TERMS

LONDON-In his speech opening
the struggle has reached the critical
stage which demands more than ever
the full use of all the country's en-
ergies and resources. Until there
is a full recognition of the only prin-
ciples upon which an honorable peace
can be concluded it is the full duty of
the British to prosecute the war with
all the vigor they possess" said the
king.
This announcement from England,
following closely the statement of
President Wilson to congress yester
day, presages renewed vigor and de-
termination to win the war for world
democracy and is regarded as warn
ing to the entente powers that there
will be no compromising but that the
war can and will end only when dem
ocracy triumphs and the rights of
small nations are garded as sacred.
The two addresses coming so closely
together will have great weight
throughout the world in showing the
aims of the two great English speak
ing nations are one. The addresses
of the president and King George are
regarded as a fitting answer to the
speeches of the German chancellor
and the Austrian foreign minister.

PRESIDENT WILSON TELLS HOW
To ATTAIN PERMANENT PEACE

we had learned of the conference at
Brest-Litovsk. His discussion and ac-
ceptance of our general principles Lead
him to no practical conclusions.
On Narrow Guage
HE refuses to apply them to the
substantive items which must con-
stitute the body Of any final settle
ment. He is jealous of international
action and of international counsel.
He accepts, he says, the principle Of
public diplomacy, but he appears to
in this case, to generalities and that
the several particular questions of
territory and sovereignty, the several
suestions upon whose settlement must
depend the acceptance of peace by
the 23 states now engaged in the war
must be discussed and settled, not in
general council but severally by the
nations most Immediately concerned
by interest or neighborhood. He

| In an address that will be accepted
| by all the nations opposing Germany
as the basis for the peace that must
follow this war, President Wilson laid
down the fundamental principles OF
the only peace terms to which the al
lies will subscribe and the only peace
that can be permanent. The address
was delivered to congress beginning
promptly at 1890 yesterday and made
a profound impression. Gable reports
from our allies in Europe state that
the address was received there as
voicing the sentiments of the allies
and pointing out the only way In
which the war can end. With the
galleries crowded with distinguish
ed assembly, including many women
and with the representatives of many
foreign countries assembled to hear
the address, President Wilson spoke
without oratorical effect. His address
in full, follows:
STcSlueuC WILSON'S AuuIccc
Gentlemen of congress-: On the
9Th of January, I had the honor OF
addressing you on the objects Of war
as our people conceive them. Prime
Minister of England had spoken on the
same terms on the 9Th of January.
To these addresses the German chan
cellor replied on the oath, and Count
Czernin for Austria on the same day
1t is gratifying to have our desire
so promptly realized that all ex-
changes of view on this great matter
should be made in the hearing Of all
the world.
Count Czernin's reply, which is di-
rected chiefly to my own address on
the 9Th of January, is uttered in a
very friendly tone.

per cent. January 80.
This is the first time more than
three instalments have been arranged
in addition to the payment OF appli-

initial payment was increased as q
means of discouraging the practice
of some persons in the pas. of sub
scribing without carrying out the i'll
stalments.
The setting of the last instalment
of 80 per cent. as late as January 80
was interpreted as assurance that
the Fifth Liberty Loan would not be
fioated before late in February or
possibly March.
The amount of the fourth loan and
the redemption terms probably will
be announced tonight by the Treas
ury.

METHODIST CONFERENCE
TO RAISE 100000
This to be Its Part of Twenty MIL
lion Dollar Pension Fund For Re-
tired Ministers.

| Practically all Protestant Churches
are making strenuous efforts to pro-
vide pensions for the WORKOUT
preachers and adequate care of the
widows and dependent orphans OF
deceased ministers, declared Rev. j.
t. B. Smith, campaign manager OF
/ the Board of Conference Claimants.
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
| Chicago, who has charge of the cam
paign for 100000 for preachers
pensions in the Wilmington Confer
ence. DR.. Smith continued:
The average salary of the Pro
testant preachers is barely 1000. Ii
is continually asked: What is the
average salary of an American min
| lister, and why can he not have suf-
| ficient money to take care of himself
and family in his old age?' This sal
airy conclusively proves that if the
preacher were to save he would rob
himself and family of the necessities
of life, and cripple his own efficient
service as pastor and preacher. The
plan of the Methodist Episcopal
Church is to give every retired min
! lister $40 for every year of active ser
vice. Thus a pastor who has had
forty years of active service will re-
ceive $500. At the present time the
conferences pay as they are able;
some $40, some SIS, some SIS and
some only SO for each year of active
service.
1.-The Methodist Episcopal Church
has S12, 100000 of the fund for
which they are seeking, and has a
total membership of 4,223,941. 1t
has $50 regular pastors in charge,
4,1S6,766 Sunday School pupils, and
S25,S23 Epworth League members. 1t
has 30,404 churches worth $685.
1881, and Ia, 426 parsonages val
ued at S34,916,539. But it has much
more. 1t has three thousand retired
ministers-men who have broken
their health or given the dew of
their life in the service of the church,
$3.50 widows of preachers and 500
dependent orphans.
The consummation of this 1918
campaign fund for $20,OO0,OO0 will
give a retiring competency to every
minister and adequate care of their
widows and dependent orphans.
The churches are showing an in
creased interest in their aged minis
tiers. 1t is a shame that the church
should be the last great institution
to do justice to the veterans. Minis
tiers do the greatest good, make more
sacrifices and receive less monetary
compensation of any class of men.
Small salary makes saving for a rainy
day impossible for the ministry,
hence the necessity of preachers
pensions"

of the nation and people may be
wholly devoted to such work and to
such enterprises as will help to win
