candidate for the republican nomina.
tom for congress, visited Pullman
Wednesday. Since announcing his
candidacy more than year ago the
doctor has been making IA most Wig
orous campaign. He is indulging in
no speech-making, but is endeavoring
to carry his candidacy directly and
candidly to the individual voter. He
has visited all of the IL counties of
the Fourth district and expresses
himself as confident of the nomina-
ton.
He outlines his platform as fol-
lows:
America first and country above
party.
Stand by the boys in the trenches
and secure peace by victory.
Relentless war on profiteering.
An American merchant marine
and the markets of the world for the
products OF American farms and
American factories.
Just and equitable laws that will
tend to make friends of labor and
capital.
The speedy development of our
streams for irrigation, and land al
lotments for our soldiers.
Water power for factories and
cheap electricity in every home and
on every farm for light, power and

SALVATION NELL
IN THE TRENCHES
(By Frederick j. Haskin)

Wy FIeueTlEh j. 11dSklu)
Over a hundred Salvation Army
girls from this country have discard
ed the blue poke bonnet, full skirt
and tambourine for khaki-colored
uniform, tin hat and a bingham
apron. In this costume, with gas
mask convenient, they are ready to
meet shrapnel, mud and roaring hot
kitchen fire while they prepare
doughnuts and coffee for our men
at the front.
The Salvation Army works unob-
trusiYely, but effectively Since
America entered the war 800 of its
men and women have quietly gone to
France to supply some of the SOL
diers needs, such as homemade pie,
buttons sewed on to stay, place to
spend time off duty, and, not least
important, disinterested advice
Close to the front lines, in dug
outs, cottages or made-to-order huts,
they set up shops and hang out their
signs. kitchen stove is the most
important item of equipment A Sal
walton Army unit may struggle along
with a well-behaved stove and nc
roof to cover it, but lacking a means
| of cooking it, the most elaborate hut
| is a failure, for the Salvation Army
speciality is cooking. Doughnuts, ap-
pie pies, cookies, coffee and cocoa
these the capable young cooks turn
out in quantity every day for the edi.
| fication of the American soldier tC
whom life without pie is a calamity
One girls record for doughnuts rests
at $500 in morning.
At night, above the time when the
soldiers are shifted, Salvation Army
lassies. escorted by officers of the or
ganization. go on expeditions to the
trenches, armed with coffee and bas-
kets of pastry AS the men relieved
from duty come out from the
trenches the girls distribute their
gifts. AS one soldier says, "A cup oil
steaming coffee may not look like a
luxury to the civilian, but to the
tired, muddy soldier just out OF the
trenches it is the last word in ma
terial comfort"
One fact about these girls which
| the soldiers note and appreciate Is
that they are real workers, with nc
fuss and feathers, going calmly about
their work under fire, and infusing
the elusive home atmosphere into the
huts where they cook and sew
There are now 22 of these huts
built by officers of the American Sal
walton Army, and more are Delne
erected. The unit assigned to each
hut consists of a Salvation Army OF
ficer, his wife and two young women
assistants. The young women as wei
as the men are usually commissioned
for the Salvation Army was among
