MOSCOW PEOPLE ASKED TO
GIVE FOR RED CROSS SALE

The Red Cross is planning mann
moth auction sale to be held on the
streets of Moscow next Saturday and
the people of Moscow are going to be
asked to contribute merchandise and
all kinds Of property to be sold. Com
mittees will call upon the merchants
and others tomorrow and ask for do
nations of any kind of property that
will sell. 1t is hoped that the people
will be prepared to give literally and
promptly and that they will not hest
tate. The committee has a large
amount of work to do and asks that
those who will donate anything for
the sale make up their minds in ad-
n tell the committeeman calling
upon them promptly what the article
is and not consume the time of the
committeeman in soliciting. The work
is a worthy one in which all are inter
ested and people should give literally.
It is hoped to have many hundreds of
dollars worth of property ready for
the sale and that the net receipts

SHEEP MAKE WASTE
PASTURE INTO MEAT

The keeping of a reasonable num-
Der of sheep on the average farm does
not necessitate the keeping Of fewer
dairy COW or other grazing stock.
This fact was determined by the
United States Department of Agricul-
lure in it's recent investigation of
sheep-raising possibilities in New
England. 1t was found that farms
where sheep are kept successfully
have practically the same number and
kinds of other live stock as other
farms of like area where no sheep are
kept, and that the acreage in crops
on the two classes of farms is sub
stantially the same. The inference IS
that the farmer who keeps no sheep
is simply throwing away enough pas
turage that lows and other live stock
do not utilize to net him a neat profit.

HAIL STORM WAS
VERY DESTRUCTIVE
MUCH GRAIN, BEANS AND
OTHER CROPS DESTROYED
TELEPHONE DAMAGED

JULIAETTA.-The telephone line
to the Cedar Creek section which was
put out of commission by the wind
and hail storm on last Thursday, has
now been repaired in part, and today
for the first time since the storm:
could the extent Of damage done to
crops be even appropriated.
About 800 acres of beans in that
section were totally destroyed by the
hail, and the farmers are now en-
gagged in ~reseeding their entire acre
age.
All the fall grain in that district
was practically ruined, which will, Of
course, be a total. loss. While a
larger area by far in that section was
in spring grain, which suffered but
slight damage, yet there were prob
ably several hundred acres of fall
grain.
Lester Hill had in 40 acres of fall
sown wheat which was a complete
loss.
Many window-panes were broken
by the hail-stones, which were about
the size of pigeon eggs. The fruit
was practically all stripped from the
trees and strawberries beaten into
a pulp. While the hail-stones were
comparatively small, the heavy wind
hurled them with great force and
rendered them all the more destruct-
i've.

RAILROAD OFFICES WILL NOT
CHANGE HOURS OF CLOSING

Many persons who read the state
ment that the freight offices at the
three railroad stations in Moscow
would close at 4 o'clock on week days
and l o'clock Saturday afternoons,
took the statement to mean that the
railroad offices would close at that
time. This is not the case. Only the
warehouses will be closed. The ticket
and freight offices will remain open
for business as before, but the freight
warehouses will be closed at / o'clock
Saturdays and at a o'clock every other
afternoon.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEND THEM BACK TO GERMANY

Secretary's suggestion that all conscientious OBJ
jectors" be sent back to "the country of their prefer
ence at the close of the war" will meet the general
approval of all Americans. Any man who comes from
another country to this one to better his condition and
is not willing to fight for this country against the
country which he admitted is not as good as this,
should be returned to the country from which he came.
America is filled with unpatriotic, selfish people
who came from other countries to better their condi-
lion here, but who are not willing to do anything to
help the country from which they are getting more
than they could ever have gotten from the country
from which they came. Many of these are not only
unwilling to help this country, but are secretly in
sympathy with and aiding where they can do so with
out fear of being caught, the country from which they
came.

when they are in i'll humor, they do
not even turn toward the speaker, but
remain m~otionless, huddled together,
standing Or lying down. The straight
neck and the gentle majesty Of bear
ing the long down of their always
clean and glossy skins, their supple

air at once sensitive and noble. If it
happens-which is very seldom the
case-that an Indian wishes to obtain,
either by force or ever by threats,
what the llamas will not willingly
perform, the instant the animal finds
itself affronted by words or gesture
it raises it's head with dignity and,
without making any attempt to escape
i'll treatment by fight, lies down. The
respect shown these animals by Pc
ruvian Indians amounts almost to
superstitious reverence. When the
Indians load them two approach and

that it may not see the load on its
back. It is the same in unloading.

Germans will win the war and opposed war measures.
He had previously refused to buy Liberty Bonds or
contribute to Red Cross or other war. funds. He is
of German descent and a German sympathizer. He
was called before the council of defense and compelled
to resign. The Patriotic League of Colfax, which is a
terror to unpatriotic people, forced his resignation.
Every community ought to have such an organization

These people should be shot as traitors, If the evil
dence against them is sufficient to show they are
aiding or sympathizing with the country with which
this is at war, but if such proof cannot be obtained
they should be deported to the country from which they
came. No man, whether he be American born or
foreigner, who is not willing to help this country IN
the time Of it's greatest need, should be permitted to
enjoy the freedom of the United States when the war
is over. There are a few American born persons who
should also be deported before the war closes. Amerl-
can should be for Americans, or those, only, who are
in full accord and sympathy with it.
"Work or Fight" is the edict that has gone forth
from state and federal governments. The United
States needs every bit of man-power that can be
secured. There is work for all and then some. The
person who would feed a tramp now would be almos.
criminal. There is no cause for any man being idle,
and to assist men to live without work now is working
a direct hardship on the United States. Every able
bodied man should be doing something useful and the
government purposes to see that he does.
Moscow citizens will be called upon tomorrow to
donate an article that can be sold for the benefit of
the Red Cross. Genesee raised 1900 at a sale of this
kind. Bull, Idaho, raised $4,000 at a similar sale.
Moscow ought to make a record at the coming sale,
and it is to be hoped that the people will respond lib
orally to the call for articles that will bring money to
the Red Cross. No one doubts that the money is badly
needed.

The Highest Explosive.
From the American Boy.

NV XIV a Ivy.
'rrotol-gelatin. the greatest explosive

who invented it two years ago and pre-

of the engineer corps of the New York
national guard.
Since the manufacture # this explosive
became one of the secrets Of the war de
partment, ordnance experts have busted
themselves with formulating a safe way
gerous explosive in the. sense that .lyna-
mite or nitro-glycerin is. but when YOU
shoot a hot spark through it or set it off
with a illuminate # mercury cap, it does
three times as much damaee as either
dynamite or nitro-slycerin. With the new
firing device inyented by Lieutenant
called the governments. newest. safest
and most powerful explosive. The old
haphazard. and extremely dangerous
method of firing explosives was to light
before the explosion occuric.i. This can
be done with trotol. to be sure. but when

Trotol is safe to handle. for it cannot
freeze or sweat and thus become danger
out Ike dynamite. It is impervious to
weather conditions and shock. for one can
hammer it at will without destroying it's
power or setting it off. YOU can place
two tcaspoonsful of it four inches apart
and explode one without setting off the
other. although it will be blown 20 pieces.
Even a regulation rifle ball. travelling at
the rate of 2.160 feet a second, can be
shot through one of the sticks without dis
charging it. Fire doesn't hurt it. When
you apply a match to. a stick 1t burns
much like tar paper. giving off a black.
pungcnt smoke. You can mold it into
sticks and throw it around or against any
object you WISH
But shoot an electric current through it
or touch it off with a illuminate of mer-
curry cap and YOU have the greatest shat
tering force known.
A year ago. Woodward's squad used a

weighing 80 pounds or more, to set off the
