THE WAR SAVINGS STAMP DRIVE

Latah county is to be asked to raise $780, 900 by the
sale OF war savings stamps. The drive will start in
the near future. The amount must be raised for the
government needs the money. 1t was hoped that vol
untary purchases of war savings stamps would reach
the amount required, two billion dollars, but it has
failed as signally as the efforts to raise an army of
volunteers.
Now the people are to be asked to give what they
can according to their means. The drive will be car
ried on along the same lines as the Liberty loan drive.
1t is to be conducted on business principles.
Our boys in France are doing their duty. They
will whip the Huns if we do our part. If we back
them up with supplies, ammunition, equipment and
ships to carry these to them, they will win the war.
You are as much a soldier as the man at the front.
You have a duty to perform that is as much a duty
As his. True, you will not be shot as a deserter if you
fail or desert, but that does not change the fact that
it is as much your duty to support him as it is his
duty to fight for you. Let US who remain home, pro-
tected by our soldiers at the front and the ships of
our allies on the ocean, do our duty as fearlessly and
n faithfully as the men at the front are doing theirs.
Did not your heart thrill with pride when YOU read

Are not the business men of Moscow a little
ashamed of the fact that there were more business
men Of Lewiston present at the reception given by
President and Mrs. Lindley at the university last
night than there was business men of Moscow? If
this school were located at Boise, or Twin Falls, do
you suppose that the people of a neighboring town
would outnumber the home people at an event of so
much Importance at the school? Would it not look
better if Moscow people took a deeper interest in the
school which is their greatest asset?

We do not know much about the
war only that the French are not
on their "last legs" but are prepared
to fight it out. They are tired of
war like the Germans are but nothing
short of a complete allied victory will
stop them now and say, Mr.. Whit

here, we are going to walk through
to Berlin without a stop. You "a

steps aside for America. Our boys
are certainly making a fine reputa-

much about European politics in
America, but U. S. is mad clear thru

n purpose and that is to lick Ger
many and that is why France and

England make such an idol of our

friendship that will never be broken
and that can never be bought.
Well I must stop now. Only wish
I could be with you tonight to run

will be. Remeber me to the Lusi-

four young men here to receive their diplomas tomor-

tomorrow will be noticed, but the men who would have
occupied them had their been no war, are doing a
grand work and Moscow and the university are proud
of them.

Governor Alexander will be here tonight. He will
remain in town for several days. While he is here the
men of Moscow who have the interest of the town
and the university at heart, should call on him and
show him how much the university needs more equip
ment and more room in order that Idaho may do its
share toward training the soldiers. We have been
asked to take more soldiers at this school and cannot
because wellack equipment. Let us go to the governor
with a united front and ask him to help in this import
ant matter. ~

If the kaiser and his advisers had ever sat in an

when Foxes put their heads together

When Foxes put their heads togesher
1t means for some one stormy weather.
or course, that is just a saying.
Foxes don't have anything whatever
to do with weather. But when folks
are in trouble they are said to be
having bad weather. and SO that lit
tie verse really means that when
Foxes put their heads together and
make plans it generally means
trouble for some one.
Reddy Fox had intended to be sell
fish and to try to get Johnny Chuck
him all alone. But the more he
thought it over the wiser it seemed
to him to get Mrs. Reddy to help.
In the first place Johnny was SO
big and strong that Reddy didn't at
all fancy a fight with him. He
wouldn't admit it even to himself. but
he wasn't at all sure he could whip
Johnny Chuck in a fair fight. He
knew that Johnny was tough Of skin.
stout Of jaw and sharp Of tooth. and
ready to fight to the last kick il he
had to.
So this was one reason Reddy was
willing to have Mrs. Reddy help him.
though not for anything in the world
would he have told her this or had
her suspect it. Another reason was
that he saw a way whereby working
together they were almost certain to
shut Johnny OFF from his home. and
once they could do that they would
have him without fail.
He is big enough and fat enough
to make both of us a dinner" thought
Reddy. Besides. IL we succeed in
!, catching him perhaps we can also
catch Polly Chuck. Mrs. Reddy is
very clever, very clever indeed, and

any. sense at ali in your head you
won't ask me to waste any more
time on that fat Chuck. We've
wasted enough as 1t is. You know
very well that we can't dig open that
house down in the far corner OF the
old orchard because 1t is right be-
tween the roots of that pesky apple
chucks away from their house. It
on watch when the other is eating
listen, my dear" interrupted
Reddy with a crafty grin on his face.
"All that you say is very true. 1
don't blame you for feeling that way.
don't blame you in the least. But
what would you say il I were to tell
you that those two silly Chucks have
separated and one Of them has built
a new home where it Is the simplest
thing in the world to- surprise him
away from his doorstep? What would
you say to that?"
THAT 1T is too good to be true"
replied Mrs. Reddy with great
promptness.
at is true, though" cried Reddy.
and at once started in to tell Mrs.
Reddy all that he had found out.
Mrs. Reddy listened with interest,
and as Reddy went on to tell of his
plan a crafty look crept into her
eyes.
we must plan this very carefully"
said she. Let us put our heads to-
xether and see il We cannot have a
double dinner of fat Chuck. for IL we
can catch one we may be able to catch
the other"
So Reddy and Mrs. Reddy put their
heads together and planned how they
would dine on fat Chuck.

FURNISHING HINTS.

sometimes the rather impromptu
dining room is a joy, because most
persons have dining rooms that are of
the ready-made, pay-your-money-a :
take-your-choice variety. They are
seldom growths and developments. as
our living rooms usually are. The en-
tire dining room outfit is usually
bought at once and paid for with the
same signing of the check.
A young woman who was recently
married. with rather limited amount
to spend on her initial furniture, de-
SPARED of getting the sort Of dining
room table she wanted. Then she
happened to read somewhere an in
terested account Of the dining room
tables Of most of our colonial an
cestors. whose board was literally a
board. 1t was a very choice board
and one that was treasured. you may
believe. There were two standards.
somewhat like saw-horses. to sup
port it. At meal time the standards
were set UP in place and the board
taken from the wall. where it rested
usually between meals, and was
ready for the spreading of the fine
damask cloth on which were spread
the pewter and trenchers
Now this ingenious young woman
got clever cabinetmaker to get a
very good piece Of rosewood for her.
and out of some wood that could be
stained to match the cabinetmaker
made two supports. copied after some
handed down from Colonial days.
This young woman did not have a
very spacious house to live in and
she was very glad to have a dining
table that could be shut up SO con-
veniently and laid against the wall
when she and her friends felt in
clined to dance or when for any rea-
table would take up when standing
in place.
This same young woman had one
chair that she considered worth
while. 1t was Queen Anne chair,
and after wishing that she had half
DOZEN DOZEN OF the same pattern to use for
dining room chairs she decided that
she could have them duplicated from
her worthwhile model The design
of those old chairs is fairly simple
! there is no carving or difficult turn :
ing. And for the amount that it
would have cost to buy rather ordi-
nary chairs she had a local cabinet
worker make these chairs and fit
| them with rush bottoms, and with
! her own fair hands she painted them
| to look as much as possible like the
original. Then she had. in lieu of a
| buffet. some shelves put up in the
end OF her dining room in imitation
Of some she had seen in an old Salem
interior, and the result was charm
