FARMERS HELD PICNIC
Finnish Farmers Gave Rous-
ingss, Get Together Meeting
Sunday at the Oscar Star
Farm.

The Finnish farmers adjacent
to Eagle River held a get-together
meeting and picnic at the Oscar
Star farm, which is located a
couple miles south of Eagle River,
last Sunday for the benefit of the
Finnish Cow Insurance Associa-
ton, an organization recently
started by that colony.
From, one who attended, it was
a pleasing sight to see the many
families and their children enjoy
the day. The youngsters formed
their own Indian dance and Sc
cured the musical inspirations
from numerous old tin cans.
Anthem Biohm and Oscar Alfors
furnished real music to the older
people. The main program con
sisted of music and the singing of
national hymns.
Through the courtesy of bust
ness men of Eagle River a cash
fund Of $7.15 was donated the
association, and through other
means additional funds were
given which swelled the fund to
$14.61.
This get-together form of meet
ings among the people of any
community is the one method of
knitting them together for their
own betterment; as the seed in
the ground terminates, grows
and brings forth the fruit, so
should the people learn to be
fruitful and in this manner be-
come benefactors to this country
which is giving them of its best
without price.

so PER CENT
OF US TO BE
I'm WAR WORK
(Special to The Times.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June "a.
Half the American nation will
be actively engaged in the war in
another year.
Only about half the actual army
can be sent abroad.
With 100000 men in Europe,
a similar number will be needed
in America and the outlying pos
sessions.
Ten workers are needed to keep
each soldier armed, fed and colth-
ed.
This would mean $4,000, 1000
men, women and children work
ing to supply the army of 5,000,-
600.
On the basis of 10, 1000, 900
population, that's half the ma
ton.
And the other half will be in
directly engaged in war work, too.
These figures give Americans a
new conception of the oft-repeated
phrase:
"This is a war OF nations, not
of armies"
