WHY you SHOULD HOLD
YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

Hold your Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Certificates. Hold them first,
because they are the best investment
in the world backed by every resource
in the Uunited States lis the appeal OF
Secretary of the Treasury William q.
McAdoo, rs sent to Twelfth Federal
Reserve District Liberty Loan head
quarters. Following Is the Secreta-
RVS statement:
Hold your Liberty Bonds and
War Savings Certificates. Hold them
first, because they are the best invest
menf In the world backed by every
resource in the United States.
Hold them because you have made
sacrifices 10 order 10 buy them. Why
pass on to some one else the contract
you have entered into with your gov
eminent?
Hold them because. even though
/ the war may be over, It has not yet
been paid for. The treasury depart
ment must soon issue more bonds.
Every sale now by you makes future
government issues more difficult and
more expensive. This expense can be
borne only by the people of the Unit
ed States; therefore. why add to the
already large burden?
Hold them because, the time may
come when such an investment will
prove to be q true friend in time Of
lneed, a guaranty against the fear OF
debt and Insurance against real hard
ship.
Hold them because, the need for
saving is not over Government ex-
penses are today larger tnan at any
time during the war. Our boys IN
France and Germany must be paid
and fed and clothed, and, when thetH
work Is over transported home. They
have not quit. why should you?
Hold your Liberty Bonds instead
of exchanging them for some otheI
Isn-called security because you know
tile security OF your United States
bend and cannot often know the
worth of what is offered in exchange
The 'Get-Rich- Quick crook Ii ready
to steal your bonds from YOU at ths

EASTERN FACTORY WANTS
JACKRABBITS TO CAN.

Washington. Dec. 17.-Enterpris-
ing operators Of canning factories in
the east are about to start a brand
new industry, the canning of jack
rabbit meat, which laboratory tests
have revealed has considerable food
value. The product IL expected to
do much to relieve the shortage of
beef pork, etc, and can be readily
used az sandwich filler. Thus does
necessity give birth to another inven-.
tion. For years IL has been the GUS
tom In the west TO have jackrabbit
drives, the fecundity or the animal
being such as to make IL pest ufl-
less some measure was taken to keep
it down. Now, thousands Of tons OF
edible flesh. which has been wasted In
the past. will be turned TO good ac-
count. Already one factory has put
In bid for 100000 rabbits at ID
cents apiece. The flesh will go to the
tables, the fur will be used In making
hats, and the refuse will make fertil-
ixer.

This ID a consistent query to come
from the Sunfiower state, which 50

tion in the Nov. elections. Probably

that question will soon be asking the

cotton be woven in Europe or Japan
Why don't the factories move TO the
country where the cotton is?" Be

AUTO OWNERS PAY
sS70,7SB TO STATE.

Automobiles in Idaho number r.
513 more for 1918 than for 1917. the
total number being 32,281 for this
year, according to figures in the Of
flee of the state highway engineer,
says the Boise Statesman. Gross
revenue from licenses amounted to
s576.785.56. OF which IS per cent,
or s144,196.37 was apportioned to
the state. and the remainder of rs
per cent was retained by the counties
in which collections were made.
Last year the revenue was S413,-
00S.6S from 24.76S cars. SO that the
increased registration this year added
s162,7763S to funds for state and
county roads over the revenue for
last year.
Five years ago-in I913-only
.HOS3 automobiles were registered in
the state. Compared with the 1918
registration of 32.2S1. this shows an
increase for the five years of more
than 400 per cent in the registra-
ton
Ten per cent of the states share
from this years collections of $144.-
1857 was apportioned to the sink
ing fund for payment of interest and
principal of the 5000 900 state high
way bond issue and the remainder,
less cost of automobile registrations,
or about 5000 ZOO during the bien-
MUM was available for use in main
tenances OF highways.
Twin Falls county has the greatest
number of cars, judging from its coll
lection of $50. 933.47 for licenses, the
largest amount of any county. Ada
county is next with collections of
tSb5, 4S5.4S, and Canyon county
third with s3S.S28.10. Boundary
county collected $3.50. the lowest
nmount The average license was
1918 per car.
Motorcycle registration dropped
from 752 in 1917 to only TOT this
year. The highest registration in the
last five years was in 1915. when 754
motorcycle owners paid licenses.

What's Your self.EstImate7

The estimate you put on yourself
will determine the confidence others
will put in you. No one wants to be-
lleve in and follow a fellow who has
no respect for his own ability. Man
Is born to rule, but few Of them know
It, declares the Pennsylvania Grit. The
set-backs Of childhood and the rude
ness Of maturity crushes the germ OF
pre-emlnence in most minds. Because
first attempts have failed too many
weakly settle into doing what others
are responsible for. They should do
the very opposite. They seem not to
know that the first step toward their
heritage is to believe in themselves.
It takes nerve to do 1t when all the
while everybody about you Is claim
ing the right to rule. But remember
that right belongs to the fit. When
you make yourself what the creator
intended you to be there will be no
question about your having place to
exercise your divine right.

were constantly whistling over me W.
lage and bursting in our rear, search
ing for our artillery.
These cellars were cold, damp and
smelly, and overrun with large rats
big black fellows. Most Of the Tom
mics slept with their overcoats over
their faces. I did not. In the middle
Of the night woke up in terror. The
cold, clammy feet Of a mt had passed
over my face. I Immediately smoth-
cred myself in my overcoat but cauld
not sleep for the rest Of that night.
Next evening, we took over our Sec
tor Of the line. In single file We wend-
ed our way through q zigzag COM
;munication trench, six inches deep
with mud. This trench was called
"Whisky street" On our way up to
the front line an occasional fare Of
bursting shrapnel would light up the
sky and we could hear the fragments
,slapping the ground above US on our
right and left. Then Fritz would
traverse back and forth with his type
writer or machine gun. The bullets
made sharp cracking noise overhead.

piece Of shell had gone through his
ishrapnel.proof helmet. felt sick and
weak.
In about thirty minutes We reached
the front line. It was dark as pitch.
Every now and then German star
shell would pierce the blackness out
in front with its silvery light. was
trembling all over, and felt very lonely
land afraid. All orders were given In
whispers. The company we relieved
filled past Us and disappeared into the
;blackness of the communication trench
leading to the rear. AS they passed US,
they whispered, "The best O. luck
mates"
sat on the fire step Of the trench
with the rest Of the men. In each
traverse two Of the older men had been
lput on guard with their heads sticking
ioVer the top, and with their eyes try
ling to pierce the blackness in 'No
Mans Land" In this trench there
were only two dugouts, and these were
used by Lewis and Vickers machine
gunners, so 1t was the fire step for
ours. Pretty soon it started to rain.
We put on our "macks," but they were
not much protection. The rain trickled
down our backs, and 1t was not long
before we were wet and cold. How l
passed that night will never know,
hut without any unusual occurrence,
dawn arrived.
The word "stand down" was passed
along the line, and the sentries got
down of the fire step. Pretty soon the
rum issue came along, and 1T was a
Godsend. It warmed our chilled bodies
and put new life into us. Then from
the Communication trenches came

Sun Time and Clock Time.

December % is the shortest day Of
the year, for the reason that the larg-
est part of the suns course is then
below the horizon. and the sun at mid
day is also at the lowest point south.
From that time, the sun begins to
come back, and the days grow longer
at first very slowly, however. By
singular discrepancy between clock
time and sun time, the sun continues
to rise later and later for nearly three
weeks after the winter solstice, while
early in December 1t began setting
later, and by the 22d 1t set four min
utes later than at the earliest point.
This operates to make the forenoons
shorter and the afternoons longer at
this season Of the year. The forenoons
begin to get longer the middle Of Jan.
uary.
