PATRIOTIC DIVIDENDS.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
In a notice just received from the
Ouachita Valley bank. Camden. Ark,
in which am a stakeholder, it is an
nounced that in addition to the regu-
lar dividend declared in January, the
board Of directors on February II de-
clared an extra dividend Of six per-
cent which was designated a LIB
erty Dividend" made payable in Lib
erty bonds, war saving certificates
and thrift stamps and my share Of
this dividend was enclosed with the
announcement in the form Of the
above securities. The idea is such a
thoroughly commendable and patrio-
tic one that feel impelled to pass it
on for what It is worth.

BRITISH NATION
WANTS CHAUTAUQUA
REPRESENTATIVE OF ENGLISH
GOVERNMENT WANTS CHAU-
TAUQUA IN HIS COUNTRY

At a recent meeting of the Chau-
tauqua managers in Chicago there
were representatives present from
England to study this American sys-
tenn of entertainment and instruction.
In spite of the war burden in Eng
land the British representatives in
vited Americans to come to England
and start chautauquas. They insisted
that this work should be begun at
once, as the nation needed just such
work as a tonic to carry on the diff
ferent phases of war work.
Wherever the Chautauqua has been
held this year there is an added inter
est in the Liberty loans, the war saw
ings stamps, the army Y. M. c. A.,
and the Red Cross. Everyone recog-
nizes that the burden of carrying on
- &yt~s~-,'''-'',A ,Ai,es are not
these various war activ1uIeC = -
equally distributed. The Chautauqua
assists in more equal distribution
OF these burdens by its speakers en-
listing more help, and in educating
the workers SO that an appeal on any
of the war activities can be made
with much more effect
England has seen the necessity of
carrying its war messages to its peo-
pie and have asked for the Chautau-
qua. The United States has been for
tunate in having such organizations
in the field. President Wilson recog-
nizes the value of this peculiar Am
erican institution at the present time,
and advised "Carry On" the work.
Ellison and White have prepared an
excellent program this year for the
northwest, and which will coordinate
with every important war activity.
Speakers from the front have been
procured who will give their audiences
first-hand information on the war.

ors expressed delight with the uni

ent of schools and now dean of women

homes.

About 40 prominent educators of
the state are guests of the University
of Idaho today, there being 35 of the
county school superintendents and a
number of members of the faculty of
the Lewiston Normal school, State
Superintendent Miss Redfield, DR..
Bryan and others.
The guests were brought from
Lewiston, where the county superin-
tendents of the state have been in
convention all week, by automobile
this morning. The first loads arrived
at $50, and by 1915 they were all
here. They spent the afternoon look
ing over the university and inspecting
the work of the soldiers.
i At lis they were given a buffet
luncheon at Ridenbaugh hall, which
was attended by more than 80 guests,

ARMENIAN RELIEF
DRIVE NEARS END
SUNDAY EVENING THE DRIVE
IN LATAH COUNTY CLOSES
MANY POINTS GO OVER

The Armenian relief drive comes to
finish on Sunday, when it is hoped
every precinct in the county will go
over the top. Mr.. Krikorian has
stirred the whole county by his mag
nificent appeal and unremitting work.
If all Aremenians have the same
energy and business ability as this
man, it is no wonder the lazy Turks
are afraid of letting them prosper.
Council of defense precinct captains
in nearly every place have Loyalty CO.
operated; there have been very few
slackers. There are very few people
who are not willing to do their bit to
save this martyred people, when they
know the situation. Thirty cents per
capita from the American people will
save a small but vigorous democracy
in the heart of Asia and maintain the
morals Of 100000 seasoned allied sol
diers.
Within week after the subscrip-
tion is paid into the First Trust bank
the relief gets to the starving people.
The organization of transmition and
administration is one Of the most
complete bits of machinery in the
world. Allied government officials,
British army transportation facilities
and American citizens intimately ia
miliar with the situation on the spot
all are co-ordinated to save this stu
alton. There is not an hour to waste;
1t must be done now; every hour ct
delay means the loss of precious lives.
This child of America will one day be
one of the great bulwarks of Ameri- /
can ideals in Asia.
AS already stated, every dollar sub
scribed goes for relief; administra-
ton and organization expenses are
met by private individual.
An enthusiastic meeting is reported
from Bovill last night. Bovill, as
usual, is ahead on the thrift stamp
drive as well as the Armenian relief.
DR.. Gibson motored the speaker back
to town last night, completing the
journey in one hour and fiftyfive
minutes. Bovill knows how to move!
