Spent Thousands in Charity

"When Mr.. Bowers retired from
business, owing to bad health, he took
steps within a few months thereafter
to incorporate his business for the
sake of those who were loyal to him,
as he expressed it.
i'Since I have been general mana
ger of Mr.. Bowers Stores, Inc, he
had never asked for a single report,
and in fact, had requested me not to
bother him with any such details.
He was always liberal spender, con-
tributing freely to every worthy
cause which came up. He had al
most the simplicity of child"
Mr.. Bowers was widely known in
Tennessee because of the vigorous
fight he made against capital pun
ishment in the state. Two years ago
the legislature actually passed the
Bowers law, abolisliing the death
sentence, but the statute was invsli-
dated, the courts held, because the
governors signature was affixed too
late. ,,..
Surviving Mr.. Bowers is his widow
Mrs. Ethel Gibbs Bowers, their
daughter, Ida May Bowers, and his
sister, Mrs. Frank Lower, of Baton
Rouge, La.-Commercial Appeal.

REVENUE COLLEC-
TOR FOR DRESDEN

In a communication received by
this paper, Collector Of Internal Rev.
enue E. B. Craig announces that a
federal income tax officer will be
sent into this county on Feb. II and
will be here until Feb. 20. He will
have his office in the courthouse in
Dresden, and will be there every day
ready and willing toF help persons
subject to the income tax make out
their returns without any cost to
them for his services.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms pro-
vided for the purpose before March
l, 1918. Because a good many peo-
pie don't understand the law and
won't know how to make out their
returns, the government is sending
in this expert to do it for them But
the duty is on the tax payer to make
himself known to the government.
If he doesn't make return as requir-
ed before March /, he may have to
pay penalty ranging from $50 to
1000, pay fine or go to Jail. So
if you don't want to take chances
on going to Jail, you had better call
on the income tax man, If you are
not sure about being subject to the
tax, better ask him and make sure
Whether you see the income tax man
or not, you must make return if sub
ject to the tax.

: Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.

Mitchell's Barn Burned

On Saturday night, Dec. %, at II
o'clock, the stock barn Of E. E.
Mitchell, chairman Of the Weakley
county Exemption Board, was burn
ed to the ground, fire originating
from some unknown origin, which,
however, is thought by Mr.. Mitchell
to have been incendiary, as he had
not been about the barn for a day
or two.
The barn contained 1875 barrels
of corn, about Is barrels of which
was saved, several head of stock, a
COW and his fattening hogs. Miss
Maude saw the fire first and ran to
the barn, turning out the stock, COW
and the pigs just before the roof fell
in. Mr.. Mitchell is confident the
barn was set on fire.

Telephone Courtesy

The people who get the greatest
amount of good out of their telephone
are those who talk over it as though face
to face.
Courtesy smooths out difficulties and
promotes the promptest possible connec-
tons.
The operators Of the BELL System
are trained to be patient and polite under
all circumstances, but they will do better
work if they meet with patience and
politeneSS on the part Of the telephone
users.
The fact that you cannot see the
operator or the other party should not
cause you to overlook this The best
results come through the practice Of
mutual courtesy.

BOISE.-State Chairman Pence of

wired all chairmen of county councils
urging necessity Of Idaho clearing
her record on War Sewing Stamps and
that these councils get behind the
big drive next week which is desig
mated Honor Week. State Chairman
Pence says: "There is some tendency
manifest in certain quarters to doubt
necessity of completing War Savings
quota. If our honorable record be
maintained it is vitally important that
allotment be met fully and the gov
ernment needs the money. It is but
meeting obligations assumed at the
beginning of the year. There are diff
ficulties to be overcome but it is i'm
perative that the quota be reached in
each county"

MOSCOW PEOPLE
ASKED FOR HELP
DESTITUTE FAMILY NEEDS AS
SISTANCE DURING SICKNESS
OF THE MOTHER

All the suffering and misery that
is worthy of attention is not across
the Atlantic ocean in the war zone,
as is demonstrated by the unfortunate
condition in which a number of fam
lilies in Moscow find themselves after
suffering from illness, and other mis-
fortunes. One case in particular will
appeal to the mothers whose kiddies
are just outgrowing their first or
second outfits of clothing. A new
born baby of unusual size, is in dire
need of two or three nightgowns, six
or eight extra diapers, dresses of the
first length, shirts of the second size,
and numerous other articles which its
parents have not been able to pro-
vide to keep it comfortable through
twoyear old boy needs rompers and
would appreciate the gift of several
other articles of wearing apparel. His
four-year old brother is also short of
clothing. Underwear, stockings, shoes
and outside clothing are, in short,
needed for these three little citizens.
The mother, who is very ill of influ-
enza, would be much more comfort
able during convalescence if she had
given to her warm bath robe or
kimona and bed room slippers, num-

Any one who wishes to donate any
or all of these articles either from
the discarded clothes bag at home or
new from the store may call Phone

ing. The articles will be promptly
delivered at the home where illness
has cut off the fathers income and
where the mother will be unable for
several weeks to do anything for her
children.

SERGEANT HALLAM
WRITES OF THE WAR
MOSCOW SOLDIER TELLS HIS
PARENT OF E EXCITING
SCENES AT THE FRONT

Sergeant Glen Hallam, who is with
the 3o1st infantry of the olst division in
France, wrote October 27 to his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. G. c. Hallam of
West Sixth street: "As we all know
the o1st division has won praise the
world over for their splendid achieve
ments. 1t is said the o1st division from
Camp Lewis is the best trained in all
the American army and has done some
of the best fighting. The northwest can
feel proud of these gallant boys"
The 3o1st company where Glen is
stationed has been in the thick of the
fight Glen says, the last of October
when he wrote, Old Kaiser Bill seemed
to be getting his fill, for they then
saw only the Hun prisoners and there
were plenty of them
He said it was certainly some exper-
fence to drop in range of Hun machine
gun and then another test to undergo
the sprinkle of artillery But now after
the grand advance, he was back resting,
which was certainly we'll earned in the
opinion of his Moscow friends
His parents had not heard from him
for three months, and one can imagine
how welcome the letter was.
Harold Collins and Jack Barnes, two
Moscow boys, are there with the same
regiment and he reports them 0. K.
He and Elmer Roth, another Moscow
boy, are probably near each other, but
so far they have failed to get together.
These boys who have been doing the
fighting for us have no time to visit
Glen's brother, Clyde Hallam, has re-
ceived his commission as lieutenant at
Camp Taylor, Kentucky. Glen says the
boys who have not been sent across the
pond are just as well off in America,
and he will be glad to get home again.

ADVISES KEEPING
CHILDREN At HOME
DIR. ADAIR ASKS PARENTS TO
KEEP CHILDREN FROM ALL
PUBLIC MEETINGS

Permission was today granted the
churches of Moscow to hold Sunday
school for adults but not for child
rem tomorrow. The regular church
services will be held. Dr. Adair, city
health officer, has issued an appeal to
parents to keep school children, who
are not permitted to attend public or
Sunday school from all gatherings,
including picture shows. He says
there are many new cases, including
four families with children of school
age in Moscow, who have developed
the disease in the past few days.
The disease is spreading through
the country districts but in mild form.
A farmer near Viola, who has fam
lily of II, came to town one day this
week with two of his children and
now five members of the family have
the disease. DR.. Adair says that
taken as a whole conditions show
gratifying improvement in Moscow
and vicinity and that with care being
used next week he believes that the
ban can be lifted by week from
Monday There is one new case re-
ported in university circles.

Next Bonds May Be Large

There is reason to believe that there
will be in the next Liberty Bond issue
no bonds of small denominations. We
were promised that this would be the
case in the Fourth Liberty Bond drive,
but the matter was not agreed upon in
time. Furthermore, there is good rea-
son to believe, although we have not
yet had official announcement to that
effect, that the Liberty Bonds of next
spring will be made attractive to the
big buyer in one of several possible
ways, to such degree that it will not be
necessary to bring pressure to bear on
the person who would not otherwise
want to buy bonds. This would mean
that the bond issue would be absorbed
chiefly through the large individual, cor
poration and static channels

MORE AND BETTER
POULTRY IN IDAHO
CAMPAIGN TO ENCOURAGE PRO-
DUCTION OF MORE POULTRY
PRODUCTS IN THE STATE

An active campaign to increase the
quantity and improve the quality Of
poultry in dIaho is being arranged here
by N. +. Luce, government poultry spe-
cialist for Idaho and Wyoming, and
Professor Prem Moore, head of the
poultry department of the University OF
Idaho. A lot of new bulletins are be-
ing prepared and will be sent out to all
applicants. These will be ready before
long and will be distributed throught-
out the state for the benefit of those
interested in poultry raising. The bull
letins will contain much valuable in
formation for farmers and others who
raise poultry. Mr. Luce said:
There has never been a time when
the poultry business was of as much
Importance as now Prices for eggs
and poultry are higher than ever known
and will remain at high levels for a
long time. With eggs selling at whole
sale at $21 per case, and retailing in
San Francisco at 81 IL cents and Spo-
kane at 90 cents, any one can afford
to produce eggs and they can be pro-
duced at profit if the poultry has the
proper care There has never been a
time when care of poultry would bring
such large returns as now.
1--WE realize that the raising of poul-
try is not business with the average
farmer, but is a side line But it is
side line that can be made to bring in
a large lot of money if care is given to
it and attention is paid to the improve
ment of the stock. The average farm
er gets few hens and few roosters
and turns them loose and gives them
no further attention. They inbreed and
deteriorate Just little care would
improve the quality of the poultry and
increase the output of eggs and cause
the production of more eggs when prices
are at the highest point"
When the bulletins are issued and
distributed Professor Moore and Mr.
Luce will make tour of the state, hold
ing poultry meetings and arranging with
county agents and farm bureaus to take
up the work. The campaign will be car
ried on in southern Idaho and then
in Northern Idaho. They will take the
state by counties and hope to organize
each county for the purpose of increas-
ng the output of all kinds of poultry
and improving the quality of the prod
let. Already seven county leaders in
Idaho have taken up the work and are
getting results. The work by the county |
agents is to be carried on under the |
supervision of the state and federal bur |
,aus Mr.. Luce paid high comp1i- |
nent to Professor Moore and the poul- |
ry industry of the University of Idaho, |
saying they are not excel1ed for effic- |
ency in the west.
