SECRETARY LANE
MAKES STATEMENT
CHAIRMAN OF NEW DIVISION
EXPLAINS WHY THIS BUREAU
WAS CREATED

BOISE.-Franklin K. Lane, secre-
tary of the interior, chairman of the
new field division of the council Of
national defense, authorizes the Idaho
state council of defense to give out
the following statement from him with
regard to the division and why is was
created so that it's object and duties
may be made clear in this state:
'9The new field division of the coun-
Gil of national defense begins it's dut-
les Wednesday. This section, Great
ed by the council of national defense,
is to organize and arouse the opinion
and the energies of the country upon
war work. It is to move through the
state councils and subsidiary organi-
cations down to the heart of the ma
ton, it's core, the small community
cit is an amalgamation Of those
organizations which have hitherto
made this effort-the state section Of
the council and the woman's commit
tee-and all the far reaching agencies
of both are Incorporated as part
of it's machinery. It is intended to be
the connecting link between the ma
tional council and the citizen. Since
the war began this connection has
been maintained through the two or
CARNATIONS which are now merged;
but it has now come more manifest
with each passing month that there
was no sense nsupporting two dis
tinctive agencies, one of men and one
of women; and this was recognized
earliest by the state councils which
took the women of the country into
their directorates and gave them full
part in their work. In all states
this is not true, and in one or two
it is perhaps legally impossible at
present, but it is shipped and expected
that this policy of joint action shall
be, wherever possible, adopted. The
part which women are playing in this
war, and the increasing part which
they are taking in making it possible
to maintain it make this consolidation
no more than the recognition of a
facial men and women are making,
and are to make, common sacrifice
and effort.
"Under the new plan of organiza-
ton, DR.. Anna Howard Shaw becomes
vice chairman, Grosvenor B. Clarkson,
secretary of the council of national
defense and the advisory committee,
becomes director of the new field div
ision with Miss Hanna ]. Patterson,
resident director of the woman's COM
mittee, associate director.
"The work Of the field division will |
fall under six heads:
1.-THE federal agency section, under
John S. Cravens, will have charge of |

all work relating to government de-

all work relating to government de-
partments and federal agencies re-
curing the aid of the field division
and the nation wide defense organiza-
lions that reach out into every COM
munity in the country.
"The organization and information
section, headed by Elliott D. Smith,
will have charge of general planning
and the advising of state councils as
to organization methods and the best
methods of carrying on the work.
"There is also being created a
field staff, the members of which will
be the executive connecting link be-
tween the field division and the par
ticular group of states allotted to
each member of this staff.
"Under the direction of Mrs. M. b.
Martin, there is being created the
Americanization section, which will
handle the dissemination of education
al information, paying special atten-
ton to the problems of AmericanIza-
ton. This section will also take over
the work in educational propaganda
formerly handled by the woman's
committee, and will mobolize and
stimulate the spiritual resources OF
the country. :.
"a speakers section under the d.
rection of Frederick L. Allen, will OBJ
tain, organize and route speakers
throughout the country; while DR..
Jessica B. Peixotto will be in charge
of the child's conservation section

THE STAR-MIRROR HAS
A STRIKE OF CARRIERS

Thursday evening the carriers for
the daily Star Mirror struck, just as
the paper went to press and refused
to deliver their routes. 1t was too
late in the evening to get substitute
carriers and teach them the routes and
as a result the papers were not de-
livered. This evening matters have
been adjusted to the satisfaction of
all and the boys are again at work
and promise better delivery in the
future than in the past. Subscribers
who do not get their papers regularly
or on time are requested to notify
the business office of The Star Mir
ror between 8 a. m. and p. m.

THRESHERS MUST
SEND IN REPORTS
LAW REQUIRES THAT EVERY
OWNER MUST REPORT AMOUNT
OF WORK DONE

County Agent O. S. Fletcher is
sending out requests to all threshing
machine owners to send in reports Of
work done this season. The law re-
quires this and although notices have
been sent out to all threshermen a
number of them have failed to make
reports. Criminal prosecutions for
failure to make reports are provided
for in the law. Mr.. Fletcher is now
sending out the following self-explan-
atory letter and hopes that thresh-
ermen will make reports at once. His
letter follows:
To All Threshing Machine and
Combined Harvester Operators Of
Latah County: am herewith en-
closing a summary sheet for you to

GOVERNOR GOOD|NG
COMES TO RESCUE
FORMER CHIEF EXECUTIVE APP.
EALS FOR CARS TO HANDLE
IDAHO'S WHEAT

Frank R. Gooding wired an appeal
for help to Senator Borah on Mon
day in the matter of car shortage
for wheat shipments. The message
explains itself 1t follows:
Hon w. E. Borah, u. S. Senate,
Warrington, D. CT regret to advise
you that very serious condition ex-
lists in Idaho owing to the shortage
Of railroad cars and the embargo that
is on wheat In the face of this dis

In hideous conflicts, fought hand to

Over the riddIed bodies of comrades

Exposed to the fury of hidden foe,

Could we see, as we looked at our shat

That mechanical wars outgrow voice or

And souls must go forth at the body's

Would this arouse us, in our duty great,
To loan this money Liberty is de-

Do we see the uses of this money fete,
Or are we too weak for understand

If KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Neutralize Irritating
Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder.
where it often remains to irritate and
infame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, Obliging you
to seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night. The sufferer is in con-
slant dread, the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again, there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness. most folks call it,
, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
! water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
! longer is a source Of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and. lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is
, splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer-
yescent lithia- water drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble

Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 1S.-While
flying Is miles west CT Fort Worth,
Captain Vernon Castle of the English
Royal Flying corps has been killed.
Captain Castle in trying to avoid a
cadet swerved his machine beyond his
control, fell and was unable to right

war zone. His work had been es-
pecially on the Flanders front and
covered a period of nine months. He
came to Fort Worth last October
along with Lord Wellesley.
His friends in Texas declared
when they heard he had been killed,
THAT is the way Castle wanted to
die. He had said many times, 4 have
had hcnors enough; I want to die in
the flying service of Great Britain"
The plane was only SO feet above
the ground and was going rapidly.
The plane with which the collision
was threatened was just rising.
