'FORUTH LIBERTY
LOAN DISCUSSED
GOVERNOR ALEXANDER AD-
DRESSES AN OPEN LETTER
TO A. E. BRYAN

In order that the fourth Libery loan
may be made a success and the finafn
cial burdens of the war equitably dis
tributed among the people, it is essen
tiaI that every county council IN the
state complete its war census. In this
] connection Governor Alexander has
written a timely letter to Chairman
/ Bryan of the state council, and the
! advice contained in it should be
promptly followed by county councils
| that have not as yet completed the
census. The letter follows:
CDR. E. A. Bryan, Chairman State
Council of Defense: AS the fourth
Liberty loan is in contemplation BY
the government of the United States,
and as the people of Idaho have con-
tributed so splendidly to the Liberty
loans previously offered, I would ask
the state council Of defense to lend
their aid and assistance to the county
councils of defense in every county in
the state towards the flotation of the
fourth Liberty loan, and to assist
Chairman Gwinn so that the loan may
be subscribed in the quickest possible
time | think the time consumed here
tofore has been longer than necessary
1.-THE people are willing to subscribe
and in order to have them do so
promptly l believe it would be wise
to instruct every county council of
defense to take complete war census
of their counties and insist upon the
war census cards being filled out by
every citizen of the state, especially
have filled out the answers to the
questions as to the amount of Liberty
bonds purchased Of the first, second
and third flotations; the amount held
on the first, second and third offer
ings; the amount contributed to the
Y. M. c. A. and the Y. w. C. A. and
the Red Cross contributions; the
amount of war savings certificates
held up to. "a certain date.
"By getting this information, it will
be possible to see that every man is
doing his duty and that the obligation
of financing the war is thereby borne
not by few who are willing, but dis
tributed among the many who are
able to bear share.
II ask your cooperation in this
matter and hope that you will see
that these things are done promptly
and that the cooperation between the
state and the county councils of de-
Tense and the Libery loan commit
tees will be of such harmonious ma
ture that the best results will be had.
will be glad at all times to cooper
ate with you in the flotation of the

our quota is promptly subscribed by
our citizenship will be the best evil

AMONG THE THEATERS
Her One Mistake

Sometimes scheming men get the
better of a young and wealthy woman,
but not always. In battle of wits
woman is often superior to the Graf
test man.
When necessity demands, she often
flashes brute strength of which any
athlete would be proud. See an ex-
ample of this in Gladys Brockwell's
latest photoplay "Her One Mistake"
at the Kenworthy theatre tonight and
Saturday.

Christmas Tree Business Dead.

This part of Vermont will be in
terested in the recent ruling of the
United States secretary of agricul-
ture, who has ruled that the ship
ment of Christmas trees in carload
lots Will be out of order next fall, on
account Of the demands made upon
the railroads for war shipments.
Many carloads of Christmas trees
have been shipped from the stations
along the railroad in Orleans county
and the annual cut has been enor-
nous, representing a tidy money in
come each fall to many farmers, Civ
ing work to several men and in the
aggregate making a business of some
proportions AS long as the war lasts
there will probably be no more Christ
mas tree business and just how it will
affect the dealers who have contracts
with farmers this paper does not
know. The probability, however, is
that if the wholesaler frds his bust
ness stopped, ruined, the farmer can
stand any temporary loss the ruling
may put upon him.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Raise More Cows.

The loss of 1000 mich COWS in the
state in a year is serious matter,
but probably is not as bad as the fig
ures indicate until they are explained.
1t is true that some farmers have CIV
en- up large herds because of inability
to get help, but in many cases farm
ers have improved the quality of their
stock. The 'boarders that
were not worth their keep-have been
turned into beef as result of the
records revealed through the cow
testing associations. Many farmers
are undoubtedly producing more milk
and butter and getting more money
with smaller. herds than they owned
only a few years ago. 1t is not en-
courag ing, however, to see the fig
ures dwindling. Prices on all dairy
and meat products will remain high
for years, and for this reason some
thing should be done to induce farm
ers to keep more cows and more
sheep Reformer.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l, 1914, to
January /. 1918. is given by figures
Just announced by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,1OO,933 people, In
addition there was enough extra pro-
TEN to supply this portion of the diet
for 22,194,57O additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3S4, 100000 bushels
FORK exports for the 3R years amount
ed to almost 2,OOO,OOO,OOO pounds. Ex-
ports of fresh beef totaled 443, 4S4, 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
10 Russia is negligible compared with
'hat sent to the western allies.

In a communication to the editor,
Rev. c. A. Adams, formerly of Iras-
burg, but for more than year in
France, doing Y. NJ. C. A. work, he
says: congressman Dale is right
regarding the long hard war before
US. For six months have been writ
ing that we might consider ourselves
very fortunate to have the peace we
want in 1919. But believe it will be
much later" Still many people think
the Germans are all but starved, that
their man-pOWer is at an end and the
minute the American troops enter
the trenches some magical turn viii
bring disaster ard defeat to the enc
my and an immediate and conclusive
victory to the Allies. If only the
great american people could see that
the enemy, without the aid Of the
United States was q victor, and ar
rayed against Germany the United
States must bear the brunt of a cruel,
stubborn and tenacious contest, there
would be q willingness and a more
spirited entry into the plans our gov
ernment is making.
