Campaign For Clothing

The Comission for Relief in Bel
GUM has asked for 5000 tons of
used clothing for the Belgians.
The American Red Cross has taken
over the task of furnishing this
clothing. Allotments have been
apportioned to each chapter thro-
out the country.
The Kendrick Red Cross asks that
all goods be left at the office of H.
P. Hull or the Overland Motor Co.
Since garments will be subject to
the hardest kind of wear, only dur
able materials should be donated.
1t is to be hoped that a large guam
tity of used clothing will be
brought in as the material is need
ed badly. Everyone help a little.

Cushing Reported Killed

Unless there has been some mis-
take in identity, the letters publish
ed below and received Monday by
Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Cushing of this
city, carry the news of the sacrifice
of the life of another brave Mos
COW boy in the service of his country
and of hmanity. The letters bring
the word of the death of Holt Cush-
ing, son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. H.
Cushing, pioneers of Moscow. This
is the first news received, and there
are no other details. Inasmuch as
there had been no word from the
war department at Washington, and
the name of the young man had not
appeared IN the casualty lists, it
was thought that there might be
some mistake, and c. A. Hagan,
partner of Mr.. Cushing, wired Bur-
ton l.. French of this state to secure
any information that could be had.
The following telegram from Con-
gresham French, gives a ray of
hope:
Washington, D. C. Sept. "a.
C. A. Hagan,
Moscow, Idaho.
War department has searched
through its lists and has received no
information whatever indicating
that Lemuel Holt Cushing has beer
killed, or even injured. l am ask
ing the war department to invest

Holt Cushing was born and rear

Measuring Hay in The Stack

AS a result of investigation ex-
tending over several years, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has worked out formulas
for measuring hay in the stacks
which, it is believed, farmers may
apply easily and with accurate re-
suits. This method is one adopted
by Farm Markets Director, Harvey
Alfred, in southern Idaho.
In order to make the formulas
easily remembered, the specialists
who have worked it out call it the
"FOWL" formula, F standing for
fraction representing the face of
the stack, O for the over, w for the
width and L for the length.
Instead of having to measure the
height, always more or less difficult
matter, the farmer, when measur-
ing a stack by the "FOWL" for
mula, need only ascertain the
"over," the width and the length,
also noting the general shape
against the sky line from end to
end.
The lover" is found by merely
throwing tape over the stack from
side to side and measuring from the
ground at the edge of the stack at
one side to the ground at the op-
posite edge. The cubic contents of
the stack is the product of the
over, the length, the width, and a
decimal fraction, which depends on
the shape of the stack when viewed
from the end. This fraction always
lies between .25 for low shapes that
approach a triangle and 81 for
shapes having high, full sides and
blunt points.
In making his estimates the farmer
should compare the end outline of
his stack with the figures showing
shapes given in Cir. No. 67, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, using
the figure most nearly approaching
the shape of the end of his rick.
From the formula it is known
that the volume in cubic feet equals
FOWL, or Fraction times Over
times Width times Length. That
will give the number of cubic feet
in the stack.
Shrinkage makes a very marked
difference in the number of cubic
feet required to make ton. The
best information at hand indicates
variation of from 512 to 422, with
466 as an average.
Circular 67 will be secured by ap-
plication to the various county Farm
Bureau offices, or by direct request
to the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. C.

Fourth Liberty Loan

All terms OF the fourth Liberty
loan except the size and the ma
turity were announced Tuesday by
the treasury. The amount, prob
ably near $4,000, 100000, was decid-
ed on but announcement was with
held.
The interest rate will be Al per
cent, the same as that of the third
loan. Bonds will be dated October
"a, five days after the close of the
subscription period, and the first
interest payment will be made next
April Is. On $50 bond the first
interest coupon will be worth $l.O1,
on 500, $2.02, and higher multiples
accordingly.
Both coupon and registered bonds
will be issued in denominations of
$50, 500, $500, $1,000, $4,000 and
$4,000. The $4,000 and 500, 900
bonds will be registered only.
Since the last maturity periods of
the first, second and third loans
were 80, 25, and 10 years respective
ly, it was considered probable that
the maturity of the fourth loan
would be either Is or 20 years.
Ten per cent of the subscription
will be received as the initial pay
ment of the fourth loan. Twenty
per cent will be due as installments
November 21, December 19 and Jan
uary l6 and 80 per cent January 80.
Terms of the loan were COM
municated to the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing and within few
hours 100000 finished bonds were
ready for shipment The bureau
plans to print about 35,0OO,OOO sep
crate bonds for the fourth loan,
with a larger proportion of baby
bonds of the $50 denomination than
in previous issues, in anticipation
of the multitude of subscriptions
from the persons of small means.
This is the first time that more
than three installments have been
arranged in addition to the payment
on application for any Librety loan.
The initial payment has been in.
creased from 5 to 10 per cent as a
means of discouraging the practice
of some persons in the past of sub
scribing without carrying out the
installments.
The setting of the last stallment
of 30 per cent as late as January
30 was interpreted as assurance that
the fifth loan would not be foated
before late in February or possibly
March.
The initial payment, although due
at the time of pledging, need not be
paid until October II, the end of
the subscribing period. The install.
ment dates will not interfere with
the practice by which subscribers
have bought bonds through banks or
other agencies and paid 10 per cent
a month for approximately 1C
months. That arrangements, offic.
ials explained, is transaction be.
tween the bank and it's customers
and the treasury is not involved.

From Ingvald Aas
Charles ston, S. C.

Charleston, S. c..
Have had long, tiresome trip.
Left Seattle July 5 and arrived in
Chile on the 31st of the month.
Chile is alright for niggers but |
don't want any Of the south in mine.
We spent eight days there loading
a cargo Of nitrate and returned by
way of the canal in the day time so
saw it all. 1t sure is some canal
and the locks are great.
1t rains every day down there
but in southern Chile it rains only
once every twenty-four years and
that is only shower. Water was
about as expensive drink as they
had there and that was very bad.
The stores have wood for sale
and people buy it by the basket
full. There wasn't quarter of a
cord of wood in the whole town.
They build a little fire in a small
pan in the middle of the room and
sit around it to keep warm. They
called it winter but it was so darn
ed hot l could hardly get my breath.
We couldn't get any U. S. smok-
ing tobacco and that Chile stuff
sure had some kick. | bought a
pound of our chewing tobacco and
had to pay 8 peso for it, about
three dollars in our money.
Nothing but sand hills in that
country and the people sure had lots
of sand. We couldn't anchor at a
dock and had to drop anchor about
a mile from land. The natives
would charge US peso each to row
us to shore, taking 10 or IL Of us in
a little old row boat. So you see,
they would make 20 to rs peso for a
half hours work. They are kind
hearted people though. They keep
the pigs, chickens and donkeys
right in the house with them.
I'll bet you Bear Ridgers would
have enjoyd yourselves if you could
have seen me the first day after we
came through the canal. The Car
rlbbean Sea sure is rough one.
The waves rolled over the ship and
fed the fish for some time 1t sure
is a queer feeling to be seasick.
The best part of it was, | wasn't the
only one as half the crew did like
wise.
1t takes from one to two hours to
get an order filled at restaurant
where | am now and they charge a
man in uniform more than they dc
d civilian. There is no place like
the west for square deal. A sol.
dier could live well in Seattle even
if he was broke. People came tc
the soldiers and sailors club there
and asked us out to their homes tc
stay over night. And talk about
eats they treated US like we were
human there.
We will be here for about a week
and don't know where we go from
here but | expect we will see New
York soon.
l have received only one copy OF
the Gazette since | left Puget
Sound. | sure miss it.
When we are at sea we work foul
hours out of eight and when we are
in port we work eight hours out OF
sixteen, and have twenty-four hours
off every week. We get more lib
erty here than we want because the
town is N. G.
l sent father a package of Chile
tobacco and haven't heard from hin
since. | wonder if he is still dizzy
Tell everybody hello and give
them my address. | would like tc
hear from some of the old neigh
bors. Ingvald Aas, U. S. S. West

is due to disorders of the digestive
tract. 1t is known also that the
human brain can not do it's best
work when digestion is impaired.
1t has been fully demonstrated a.
mong the poor in the cities that a
hot breakfast or a hot lunch greatly
improves the mental ability and dis
position of school children.
To make schools more efficient by
improving the health and mental
ability of the children, many
schools have established in recent
years the "hot lunch" for pupils
who cannot return home at noon
but who find it necessary to take
lunch. In some schools a cafeteria
is operated, where the pupil may
secure a full meal. In others
simply bowl of soup or a cup of
cocoa is served with the lunch
brought from home.
In Kendrick the girls taking
Home Economics are planning, with
the help of their teacher, Miss Low
cry, to serve the pupils who find it
necessary to bring lunches. 1t is
intended to serve only simple
dishes. These will be served at
cost and will entail no expense upon
the school district. 1t is believed
that these simple dishes can be ser.
we'd for three cents, or fifteen cents
per week per pupil. Some pupils
will probably be able to furnish
milk or eggs or vegetables instead
of paying cash.
To those who are not familiar
with the hot lunch idea, it may be
we'll to say that meal to take the
place of the lunch brought from
home is not intended; just some
thing hot to go with the lunch
brought.
Those who take advantage of the
hot lunch opportunity will not need
to bring so much in their lunch
baskets.
