The Liberty Service volunteers,
who in the cause of liberty pledge
their energies to conserve the life
blood of the boys lover there have
stated that ''our first service is to
conserve waste wool, to lessen, inso-
far as we are able, the sufferings of
our boys who are fighting for our lib
erty in the trenches of France. Our
government has sent out warnings
that there is a great wool shortage.
Is there man, woman or child, liv-
ing in the wool growing districts of
this great Northwest, who would re-
fuse to pick one pound of wool from
ha Sc h.
rounding country, in order that the
man at the front, who is giving up
his life, home and loved ones, to pro-
fect this same man, woman or child,
may not suffer from cold in addition
to torturing wounds. -
While Jerome has not regularly
organized as a branch of the Lib
erty Service volunteers this is
sheep country and many. many pounds
of wool are going to waste on the
sage brush and fences. Boys and
girls, and men and women too, can do
much good by conserving this waste
wool. Many pounds could be gathered
up in this way. Right now is the
time when this wool will have to be
taken care of. Mr.. Jaycox will give
thrift stamps for all wool so gather
ed, paying SOC a pound for it.
