ONE HUNDRED AND F0RTY.TW0
YEARS OF LABOR AND STRUGGLE

The American people fought their first bat
ties for liberty and the rights of self'govern-
ment one hundred and f0rty-twO years ago.
At that time, and for many years thereafter
their realization of their national aspirations and
of the goal toward which they were really striv-
ing was vague and indistinct. But step by step
thew struggled onward and upward toward
light which grew clearer as their eyes and minds
slowly opened to it's significance. Today, as
result of their struggles and their sacrifices. we
possess and enjoy our priceless American insti.
tutions.
These institutions must be preserved. The
structure so Iaboriously reared in these one hun
dred and forty two years will be utterly Destroy
ed if we do not spring to it's defense with every
atom of our energy and determination. This is
not situation which may be trifled with. or
evaded, or put off. It is one which must be met
now--today-no matter what sacrifices it may
entail, or what the cost may be.

IN EXILE WITH HER FATHFR
Daughter Of Millionaire Of klef, 40
companies Parent to Save Him
From Dreaded Loneliness.

Children in the exile districts seem
grOtesQuely misplaced, yet there were
many. Sometimes the gendarmes magic
would lift a father from his too liberal
fireside in Russia and set him down
without the humiliation of trial In
the glorious Narym solitude, writes
Fortier Jones in the Century. "NOt
inlrequently his family followed him
In order to share the new life, for, as
elsewhere, fathers are loved in Rus
sia. Particularly among educated men
the continual, unrelleved loneliness
tended to bring on insanity.
'T know one fine business man, a
millionaire of Kieff, and a direct de-
scendant of Rouget de Lisle, whose
little daughter came into exile with
him to save him from this dreaded
loneliness. She was fourteen years DID,
and they lived in a dreary village by
the great old river, in q log cabin with
pink chintz curtains and a piano. She
was a winning little thing, with happy,
brown eyes and long curls, and to
all appearances was 40 whit the worse
for her exile existence. The fascinat'
ing life Of the forest was familiar tC
her, the birds and flowers, and her ia
ther cared for her French and history
What a bright spot she was in tha'
vzretched place, and what q curious
life for a little girl whose tllustriou'
forefather had composed the 'Marseil
laise! Her mother, who Joined then
later when her health would permit
and they had gained permission Il
live in a town on the railway, was
sister Of Nine. Cu-ie."

IDAHO REPRESENTED
At FRONT THREE YEARS
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO'S RHODES
SCHOLARSHIP MAN SERV-
ING IN FRANCE

Few people know that the University
of Idaho has been represented on the
fighting front in France for more
than three years, but such is the case.
Graduates of the school have been
serving with the Canadian troops on
the battle front since the first year
of the war and there has not been a
time since the first Canadian coming
ent reached the scene of conflict that
there have not been former students Of
this school engaged in the fight
against Germany autocracy.
It has just been learned that Law
renee H. Gibson, the first man select
ed from this school for a Rhodes
scholarship, was among the fighting
men in France, having been engaged
for some time and that the boat on
which he was being taken from Eng
land to France was torpedoed but none
OF those on board were lost. 1t is al
SO learned that RALPH Foster, of Wies-
er, Idaho, the last Rhodes scholarship
man to be- sent to Oxford by the UNI
versity of Idaho, has left the historic
al school on the Thames and gone to
the battle front in France.

THE HOUSEWIFE AND THE WAR

Stores used to be we'll supplied with
new household devices to tempt the
housewife. Now it is becoming impos-
sible to purchase some the simplest
articles because they are no longer
manufactured, or cannot be trans

with the unusual value of little things
with the necessity of making house
hold utensils last, of repairing them
or of making what she has on hand
answer 1t is a part of wars lesson
of thrift. Are you learning from it?
Here are some aids:
Handles, screws, and fastenings OF
knives, forks, egg heaters, etc., left in
hot water, become loose
Metal utensils rust when put away
wet
Brooms and brushes used continu

Brooms should not be allowed to

for eating less of this rich food.
Yet the results have been wonderful. The national
food administration which had worked out plan for
saving food in the United States in order that
armies and allies may be fed had estimated the
amount of pork that would be saved and this esti-
mate ran into thousands of tons. When the amount
that could be saved by this reduction consumption
in the United States first published it deemed
entirely too large The people did not realize that
reduction of one meal day and two days week
without pork would the enormous amount esti-
mated by the food administration, but they did
quested
1t is found that instead of being too large the
estimate entirely small and that 175 100000
pounds of pork than the estimate has been saved
and is at the disposal of allies. 1T is pleasing

There is not who has denied him
self herself Of pork the times requested by the
food administration but will feel that this slight sacri
fee has brought wonderful returns that he she
has been amply repaid for dispensing with pork
