AN IDAHO GIRLS WORK.

An Idaho girl, Alice Edna Gipson,
of Caldwell, is the latest aspirant
for authorship honors in this state.
There has just been published, from
the press of the CaXton Printers,
Caldwell, her John Home, His Life
and Work" Although not dealing
with popular subject, the book
will be a welcome addition TO the
library of any home where true lit
erature is cherished.
Miss Gipson gives evidence in this
work of wide scholarly research and
the literary style is most commend
able. 1t is interesting to know that
the book was offered by her as a
thesis for her doctors degree at
Yale.
The work devotes considerable
space to the stage history of the
tragedy, Douglas" by Home, which
withstood many vicissitudes, includ-
ing Garrick's rejection of the manu-
script and Thackeray's ridicule.
While special emphasis is laid upon
Douglas" the book treats of other
works by Home and gives a most
entertaining review of his life
The story of Douglas" is highly
melodramatic, but is couched in the
grandiloquent blank verse of the
thesis for a theatrical production or
even a tragic movie without causing
any disappearing comment. but it
provoked a storm of protest when it
was produced in which the Church
of Scotland became an adverse con-
tender.-Caxton Printers, Caldwell.

THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN NEXT MONTH.

The third campaign for sale Of
Liberty bonds will start Saturday,
April 9Th. 1t is planned to acquaint
the American people with the pur-
poses and need of this Third Liberty
Loan through a nationwide school
house meeting the night of Friday,
April 18th. In all the message will
be given in at least 100000 school
houses in America the same evening
This will be the first cooperative,
concerted effort of the kind in the
history of America.
In regard to the Third Lib
SS erty Loan the editor of the
ISS Meeteetse tWyoming) News
u A. very aptly says:
Now comes the announcement of
the Third Liberty Loan to be solicit
ted by our government of the Ameri-
can people at about the time of the
first anniversary of the declaration
of war-some time in April. Several
billions of dollars must be raised to
be spent for the obvious needs of the
government, and loyal America will
heartily respond because of its desire
to help the nation in time of need,
and the pro-German and unpatriotic
element will buy heavily of the
bonds because they are a good in
vestment. The bond issue will be
successfully floated, because Ameri-
ca has never known defeat in any
branch of warfare, be it on the bat
tlefields or in the efforts to sustain
the army with money and clothes.
The people will buy bonds, just as
they bought them in the previous is
sues, and now they are better edu-
Gated to the value of the investment
and the nations need of the money
they will buy even more willingly.
The new issue of bonds, we under
stand, will bear four and one-half per
cent interest payable semi-annually
as before.-Meeteetse, tWyo.) News.
