Iowa communities was shocked at the
news from Pomeroy, telling Of the ter
rible devastation caused by two lorna

lation was practically demolished. only
a few houses being left standing. The

Marshall county must furnish III
| men for the national army call to be
entrained during the five-day period
| beginning July 90. The county quotas
| for this call were announced Monday
by Adjutant General Logan. All OF the

OF this number $3.50 will be sent to
Camp Gordon, Ga, and 1887. includ-
ing this county's quota. will be sent to
Camp Pike.
1t Is estimated by the local exemp-
ton board, which expected the county's
quota would be larger than it was. that
to fill this call Glass / men, holding
order numbers up to nearly $500 will
have to be included. These will all De
Glass / men Of the 1917 registration.
and the board estimates that 1t will
have about 100 or more left tn the
class after this quota is filled. 1t is not
expected that the order for entrain-
ment will be received before the first OF
next week.
In addition to this quota the county
will be called on to furnish its quota
of 1000, that is to be called into serv-
ice about July %. It is expected that

Classifying New Mon.

Monday to classify the men VINO regis
tered June and who claimed deferred
classification for various reasons. 1t is
noticeable that the board is classifying
these resistrantts very much mere
closely than were those who registered
last year A very large percentage are
being placed in Glass l, or in cases OF
claims for deferred classificatons be-
cause of occupational or agricultural
claims. the board is recommending to
the district board that the registrant be
placed in Glass l. 1t is the evident
purpose Of the board to place all regis
trants in Class l unless very good and
substantial reasons are shown why
they should be placed in lower class.

UTILIZE THE GARBAGE
Food Administration Says Big
Saving Can Be Made.
Housekeepers Urged to Keep Kitchen
and Table Refuse Separate
From Other Waste.

Westinghouse campaign for the
utilization Of garbage has been inaugu-
rated by the United States food adj
ministration, which is advising all state
administrators to spread garbage
utilization propaganda through their
territory and urge upon housekeepers
the necessity for keeping garbage
(kitchen and table refuse) in a sepa-
rate container from other house
refuse.
Figures and statistics issued by the
food administration show tliat in one
ton of garbage there is sufficient
glycerin to make the explosive charge
for II "75-milIimeter shells, enough
fatty acid" to manufacture IS pounds
Of soap, fertilizer elements to grow
eight bushels Of wheat and a score Of
other valuable materials essential in
the manufacture of munitions.
1t is also pointed out hat "a cities
of over 100000 are not utilizing gar
bage and that the combined popula-
ton, which is estimated to be over
100000, is wasting 100000 pounds
of nitroglycerfn and 49, 0 900 70
ounce cakes of soap besides 10000 tons
of tankage, which contains fertilizer
elements sufficient to produce a 3,00O,-
600 bushel wheat crop. The value Of
his loss of materials is estimated at
$4,000, OOO.
In 20 cities where there are garbage
utilization plants the figures show that
a combined population OF 100000
people are utilizing these products. to
the value of over 81 100000 annually,
and that a large percentage Of this
saving is being directly used by the
government in munition making.
But in these % cities, or most Of
them, large amounts of garbage are
destroyed by burning or made useless
by being mixed with other wastes.
If in these % cities the garbage vas
'kept clean" or free from bottles, tin
cans, crockery and other foreign mat
ter, the saving to the government
would be many million dollars mOre.
The responsibility devolves upon the
shoulders of the housewife. who is
urged to see that nothing but garbage
goes into the garbage pail. Other
house refuse has a value but its value
is lost and the value of the garbage
is lost if refuse and garbage are mixed.

RED CROSS FEEDS ALsATIANs
Three Thousand Who Escaped in First
Weeks of War Are Being
Cared For.

Washington.-Three thousand loyal
Alsatians who escaped across the from
tier in the first weeks of the war when
the battle line swayed back and forth.
across southern Alsace, are now being,
fed with American food. They are.
quartered in nineteen villages safe on
the French side Of the war zone where
American troops are now stationed.
They lost all their property three
years ago and what little money they
had was soon exhausted. With the in
creasing cost of living and the inability
of their French neighbors to continue
to help them, their situation became
desperate. In answer to the appeal
from French societies interested in
them, the American Red Cross has just
shipped food to the nineteen villages to
provide half the daily rations of these
5000 Alsatians for ten months.
The shipment included 1920 pounds
Of condensed milk, 1920 pounds of
flour, LOO pounds of sugar, 5000
pounds of dried peas, 2,2OO pounds Of
rice and 5000 pounds of timed meat.

JOHN j. JACKSHA
WINS LONG FIGHT

John Joseph Jackson, son of a prom
inent farmer, who with his father and
brother are farming 500 acres of land
which they own, will not nave to fight
for his country. He has won one of
the longest and most unique fights to
evade serving i'll the army that this sec
ton has known.
The local board has received notifica-
ton from the district board at Sand
point that Jackson has been placed in
class &C" which means that he will
not be called for service for at least a
year, if at all.
This ends a case that has attracted
much interest here. Jackson appealed for
deferred classification on the grounds
being engaged in agriculture as the "nec-
essary and sole head of an agricultural
enterprise" His appeal to the district
board was rejected and he appealed to
President Wilson, who sustained the
board and Jackson was sent to Camp
Lewis with the first draft.
He took his case up with the army
exemption board at Camp Lewis and was
sustained there, the board holding that
he was needed for agricultural work
and discharged him from the army and
he returned home.
Then came the change in methods
with the QUESTIONABLE and Jackson filled
this out and claimed deferred c~lassifi-
cation on the grounds of being a farmer.
He was placed in class &C" When
the legal advisory board had the re
classification of Latah county registrants
up some time ago, Jackson was again
recommended for class l.. The matter
went to the district board which today
sent back its findings, placing Jackson in
class &C" 1t is believed that men in
this class will not be called for actual
service at any time.

reap the greatest benefits from this school should get
acquainted with it and with the men who have made it
what it is. We would suggest that the mining men of the
state be invited to come here later and get acquainted
with the school of mines which is doing wonderful work
for that great industry which means so much to the state.
Last week a horticulturist from Utah came here and
spent a day with Professor Vincent, head of the horti-
cultural department and praised the work of the school.
It would be well for farmers who are raising fruit ond
the fruit men of the state (for fruit is one of Idahos
profitable crops) to come here occasionally and get better
acquainted with the school and the work it is doing for
their industry.
There is not an industry in the state that is not being
benefited directly or indirectly by this school and it is
fitting that the people who derive this benefit should have
a better and closer acquaintance with the school and see,
just what it is doing.
