HAVE chosen as the sub
ject of my paper the art
of making sketches and


aSHNI of making sketches and
tA-A finishing the same with
pencil or crayon. The making Of
sketch is the art of recording by
a few strokes with pencil or crayon
the object one desires to draw.
One must have an object or model,
especially for the beginner, or
sketch an object from memory.
Some artists have the power OF
reproducing from memory any
thing they have seen; this is al
most a natural gift; some people
have it as others have the power of
writing a story, or memorizing
music. At the same time l believe
it to be possible to acquire it, so
far as to enable you to make pre-
sentable sketch, and to attain the
ability to draw an object without
having it before you. Still, it needs
an immense amount of practice.
The best method is as follows:
Draw any object or person you
fancy, then draw it again from
memory without looking at the
first sketch; compare the two; keep
at it and in the course of time you
will succeed in drawing things you
have seen when you can no longer
see them. To make my meaning
more clear-we compare the art of
illustrating with the art of music.
The soloist that plays before an
audience without the printed score
has memorized every note of his
composition; the artist also has
memerized every detail of his OBJ
ject. If the artist draws from a
model or from nature, the task is
not so difficult, but if the picture
or sketch is many times larger or
smaller, the operation is more diff
cult.
The first operation is outlining,
then finishing, by working out ev-
cry detail in shading. The shade,
in the right place. makes or spoils
the picture. Take the human face,
with its many expressions, every
one of which must be recorded, es-
pecially in comic illustrations. At
the end of my paper l will give
you a few practical illustrations. l
shall be happy indeed if they prove
helpful to anyone who. having
never tried, did not know how to
begin.
Drawing is not merely an agree
able accomplishment, it is useful.
How often have a few pencil
strokes settled long discussion!
You may talk as you will, and how
ever clear the details, you can new
er make your hearer perfectly ap-
prehend the form and character of
the object in question. But if you
can only draw, you will soon make
yourself understood. Two minutes
of sketching is worth many days
of explanation.

SOLDIERS LEAVE
FOR CALIFORNIA
SIX LATAH COUNTY MEN LEFT
ON 1 80 TRAIN TODAY FOR
FORT MCDOWELL

With Carey's band playing patri-
otic airs, with Old Glory flying from
the staff, and with an admiring
crowd of friends and relatives pre-
ceding and following them, six heroes
from Latah county, who answered
their country's call, marched to the
Union Pacific sation at 1 o'clock to-
day and took the train at 1 80 for
Fort Mcdowell, California, where
they enter the camp and begin pre-
pairing to do their part to win free
dom for the world.
There was no time for speech MAX
ing or a further demonstration. The
men should not have left here until
$50, as they cannot get out of Col
fax until $40 tonight, but like the
'Noble Six Hundred" they answered
the call and went as directed 'Se'en
though some one had blundered." The
jtreets were de9orated with flags
early this morning and before tnc
time for the parade to start had ar
rived there was a fair sized crowd
in front of the Hotel Moscow pre-
pared to bid the boys good bye and
march with them to the depot
and relatives came to accom-
pany them to the train and bid them
God-speed. Quiet greetings were ex-
changed and the men boarded the
motor and set out on a journey, the
end Of which no man can foresee.

SERMON JUNE 2
NOTED Y. nj. C. A. WORK Err
COMES FROM CAMP LEWIS
TO DELIVER ADDRESS

Norman F. Coleman, secretary Of
the Army Y. NJ C. A. for the North
west, with headquarters at Camp
Lewis, has just wired his acceptance
of President Lindley's invitation to
deliver the baccalaureate address at
the university, Sunday, June 2, at
1920 A. M.
Mr.. Coleman is noted speaker
and his message will deal with the
phases of the war his splendid or
ganization is particularly connected
with. The university is fortunate to
secure the two noted speakers it has
for commencement week-William
Allen White, the noted editor and
author and Norman F. Coleman, the
brilliant speaker and war worker.
Mr. Walkers address will be de-
livered in the university auditorium
at 1920 and should be heard by
every one in Moscow who can secure
admittance. The auditorium should
of the churches will arrange their
services on that day so that their con-
gregations may have an opportunity
to hear this noted speaker who is
giving his best energies to this great
religious, educational and humani-
tartan work.
The university is now busily en-
gagged in preparing to receive the
soldiers who will be here on June Is
to take special courses in different
vocations, to fit them for special SER
vice to their country. Bids are being
received now for plumbing, grocer
les, supplies and equipment to fit the
university to care for these men. The
university wants to get number OF
used motor cars and trucks for use in
the mechanical department where
these men will be trained. There will
be large class in motor engineering,
repairing and care and old trucks
and motors are wanted for the double
purpose of use and experimentation
in repairing and refitting. There is
vast amount of work to be done
before the school is ready to receive
the 100 men expected here June 15.s

He WOULD AVOID
EXTRA SESSION
GOVERNOR ALEXANDER OF IDA
HO HOPES NATIONAL GUARD
WILL BE RECOGNIZED

BOISE-Speaking of the prospects
for an extra session of the legislature
Governor Alexander said: 81 went to
Washington to get the national
guard recognized without a special
session Of the legislature. I have
yet hopes that the judge advocate's S
opinion will be modified and if 1t Is
the matter can be adjusted.
"Idaho is not the only state that
has asked recognition for it's national
guard. Almost all Of the states are
in the same position. Some of them
have had special sessions and have
passed laws to conform to the re-
vised statutes of the United States
and even then have been denied the
benefit of national recognition and
will have to do all the work over
again.
"The states of Wisconsin, Wash
ington, Missouri and Illinois passed
the necessary laws recognized by the
judge advocate general as complying
in full with the terms of the military
act. Should the Idaho legislature be
convened in special session, the stat
utes of some of these states mention
ed should be adopted
No definite decision to convene the
legislature has been reached, how
ever.

pose of bringing before the people
of Moscow and vicinity the great
amount of work that is being done
by the newspapers for the unbuild1ng

purpose The letter is written by a
man who knows what newspapers
can do and have done in all public
enterprises and he is frank enough
to say that the press has carried more
than its share of the burden, done
more than its share of the work and
that without the support of the press
the great drive would have been a
failure The letter follows: Read it.

LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE
THANKS THE NEWSPAPERS

Gagged, within our hearts, a deep SYM
pathy for him. We knew he was
carrying daily the troubles of the
world on his shoulders. We knew
that the space we asked in your
newspaper for nothing was worth
dollars-worth as much as space in
Heaven or a Washington apartment
house.
Let it be said that the newspaper
man has given-given of himself and
his dearest possession, space. We
have never thanked him from day to
day. We were afraid to. But we da
now-thank him with full heart for
we-all Of us-have worked on a
newspaper somewhere, sometime, and
we know the sacrifice he has made
in this Third Loan.
Remember, he has received nothing
for it-nothing save the knowledge
that he was doing his best for his
country, and his unsung best is as
good as General Pershing's best.
s'Lest we forget, lest we forget
the newspaperman.
The state committee joins in ex-
tending thanks to the newspapermen
of Idaho; also the state defense coun-
cil

The recent session of the Montana

every one who is able to work tx
labor at least five hours a day
whether he be millionaire or g
pauper. Realizing that every one
must help to provide food, equip
ment and supplies of all kinds for
our fighting men and our allies, the
state has taken drastic action. Idaho
has been asked to take steps to put
the idlers to work and it is found
that we have adequate laws to ac-
-complish this. The following letter
sent out by the State Council Of De-
Tense to all county chairmen, is self
explanatory:

passed resolution that the munich

ment; also to handle idlers, loafers,
vagrants, etc. We hope that your
County Council will use every influ-

the proper steps have not already
been taken in your county relative
to idlers, loafers and the unemployed.

Germans Fail to Dent Lines

The Associated Press review of con-
couraging. The statement issued from
Washington today follows:
The allied defense on the Flanders
front to the southwest of Ypres has
again been tested by the Germans and
has been found adequate. Two di-
visions of Teutonic troops were en-
ployed on a relatively short front and
were sent into the fight under cover
of terrific artillery fire. The front
chosen for the attack extended from
the village of Voormezeele, but the
center of the assault seems to have
been at Vierstaat, hamlet northeast
of KENNEL hill.
The flanks of the German attack
ing line were stopped short by a fire
from the French and British artillery
posted on high ground and which was
able to enfilade the German regi-
ment sas they tried to advance. In
the center, however, the Germans
made quite a serious dent in the al
lied line. Wednesday night, however,
the allies drove forward in counter
attack, and the latest reports from
Field Marshal Haig are to the effect
that the line has been re-established.
The Germans are reported to have
lost very heavily during the fighting.
There is a constant rumble of
heavy artillery fire along the Somme
front, but here the British have again
improved their position by local at
tacks. The Canadian forces from
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have
engaged in successful local attack
south of Arras.
On the southern sectort of the
Somme salient, as we'll as in Lorraine
and other sectors further south, there
have been no noteworthy combats.
The artillery of the contending
armies continues very active in the
Asiago basin region on che Italion
front The official reports from
Rome tell of enemy troops being
"hampered" by the allied fire. The
Brenta and Maserada sectors also
have been centers of heavy lombard
ments.
The city of Amiens is being sys-
tematically destroyed by German ar
tillery fire, in spite of the fact that
there are no allied troops in that
place and it is of no military value
since the allies have constructed new
lines of communications outside the
city. The venerable cathedral, one
of the finest in Europe, is reported
to have been struck by shells and to
be- in peril of destruction.
