HOME GUARD FRICTION.

The Home Guard as an organization
Is a valuable asset to our states mill
tary forces and a credit to our race.
We regret to say, that like the or
ganizations of the white companies,
the usual friction has developed. There
is among the Negroes desire of some
to outrank their superiors, and the
proper discipline has not been main
tanned. Instead Of supporting each
other to make the entire, outfit an eff
cient organization, there is spirit
among a few to be insubordinate to
such an extent that progress is him
dered
Efforts are being made to make it
unpleasant for those who have the
responsibilities of organization in or
der that the agitators might succeed
in command. Whether this is pro-
German propaganda, or a natural de-
sire on the part of those to climb over
the corpses of their fellows to secure
official prominence, is question
which will be answered none too soon.
A spirit of harmony and tolerance
should prevail. The time given to
criticism and gossip could be better
used for instruction, SO badly needed.
The Home Guard is a permanent Or
ganization, but some men and officers
have unwillingly separated themselves
from 1t. 1t is time for Negroes to
learn that discipline in all military
branches at this time, whether state
or federal, is compulsory and VIOLA
tions are punishable. Restricting the
progress of any organization to aid
the nation in thfs war, is a federal
crime. Although some are innocent
of such intent, they are ignorant tools
of the underlying forces at home, for
which Home Guards are authorized to
destroy in order that all citizens shall
be protected.

We have never known two injus-
tices to make anything right. The
Saturday News has prospered by be.
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because a majority Of white people
will always side with a white man
when a question arises between him
and one of our color; still certain col
ored newspapers, without making any
investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne
gro race do identically what they con-
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself.

UNITED STATES SHORT

SPOKANE-The state of Washing
ton will be short 1000 school teachers
next September, according to an an
nouncement made by Mrs. Josephine
Corliss Preston, state superintendent.
MANY well-trained and successful
teachers have gone into government
places or into business at greatly in
creased salaries" said Mrs. Preston.
There will be shortage of $4,000
teachers in the United States this
year, according to figures issued by
DR.. Clayton of Washington, D. c.,
United States commissioner of edu-
cation.
The greater part of the shortage of
teachers in this state is expected TO
fall in the country districts, as higher
salaries are expected to induce teach
ers to go into the large cities and
towns.

BELGIAN ORPHANS
NEED ASSISTANCE
IDAHO PEOPLE ASKED TO ADOPT
THESE LITTLE ONES, MADE
ORPHANS BY WAR

BOISE-It is impossible as yet TO
bring Belgian children to this coun-
try for adoption by people inclined
to take little ones left homeless into
their families but those interested are
given an opportunity to become a
"godmother" to them by paying regu-
larly certain sum of money for the
maintenance of such child or child
rem. This is the information that has
been transmitted to the state council
of defense by Arthur Fleming, chief
of section, Council of National De-
fense.
In a letter to the Idaho council,
Chief Fleming says in part:
81 have made inquiries of the Bel
gian legation as to the matter of the
adoption of unfortunate Belgian
children. The Belgian legation has
found it impossible to hanve any
children brought to this country as
yet, and does not think that it would
be practical under the present con-
ditions. However, they have estab-
lished a number of homes and sani-
tariums in the unoccupied sections
of Belgium and in Holland where the
unfortunate children of the devas-
tated districts are cared for.
"It is possible for those interested
in the Belgian children to pay GER
tain sum for the maintenance of a
special child. The name of the child
would be given and direct communi-
cation established between it and it's
'godmother' in this country. Madam
Horta is in charge of this work in
this country, and any contributions
sent for this purpose should be made
out to the Belgian minister at Wash
ington with For Madam Horta
Fund written on the corner of the
check.
81 am also informed by the Bel
gian legation that special commit
tee for this work will probably be
established here in Washington with
in week or so. AS soon as we are
notified of its organizatiin I will in
form you."

cises were held. The program was
indeed pleasing and delighted large

To HAVE BUSINESS
STEAM RAILROADS WITHDRAW
FROM COEUR D'ALENE
AFTER JUNE 2

The Milwaukee, Northern Pacific
and Spokane International will with
draw steam trains operating into
Occur d'Alene, Idaho, from Spokane
and will leave the freight and pass
enger service to Coeur d'Alene to be

the, plan of the central committee
representing the northwestern rail
roads, which is working on plan of
caring for the business on lines in
the northwest. The committee S
recommendation will go to the reg
ional director.
Until the various steam roads in
Occur d'Alene can be connected with
the Spokane & Inland by electrifica-
tion and until some of the industrial
tracks can be electrified, a steam
switch engine will be located at
Coeur d'Alene.
In the Coeur d'Alene agreement
the railroads agreed that there was
no more business than single road
could handle easily and the other
roads agreed to withdraw their SER

COLLEGE RECEIVES
A FINE BULL CALF
WHITE BULL CALF FROM GREAT
SHORTHORN FARM REACHES
UNIVERSITY HERD

The animal husbandry department
of the agricultural college received
by express from Iowa last night,
what Dean Iddings believes to be the
best specimen of beef type of cattle
ever owned by the department. The
animal is a white Shorthorn bull calf,
which is to become the herd head of
the University's Shorthorn herd. He
is to be the sire for the breeding herd
and will be shown this year as a calf.
He was calved on September 2, 1917,
and is fine, large animal for his
age. "This is one of the finest speci-
mems of the beef type ever brought
here, said Dean Iddings in describ-
ing the animal.
The calf is son of Sultan Dale,
one of the best known breeding bulls
of the Mississippi valley corn belt,
whose calves have been prize winners
at all of the great stock shows. The
calf traces back direct to what is
known as the straight Scotch" breed
of Shorthorns bred by that pioneer
of successful breeding, Amos Cruik-
shank.
"The calf will be fitted up for
show purposes and exhibited next
fall and winter, said Dean Iddings,
"after which he will be kept as the
herd sire. This gives US three white
Shorthorns that are exceptionally
fine animals. Many people do not
realize that there is such thing as
a pure bred Shorthorn of white color,
but they are very popular color and
some of the best animals of that
breed are white. This calf was
chosen for his color as we'll as for his
individual merit and breeding. We
have a number of red cows and by
crossing the white and red we get
fine, rich roam. Should we decide to
cross with the Galloway cattle we
will get fine blue roam. Admirers
of good cattle are invited to visit the
college farm and see this fine ami
NAL, from which we expect great re-
Suits"
The calf comes from one of the
best herds in Wapello, Iowa, dis.
trict noted for it's fine cattle of the
beef types, and came through by ex-
press in fine condition.
