LOCAL GUARD
DRIVE STILL
BEING PUSHED
MOSCOW MUST HAVE ONE HUN.
DRIED MEN ENROLLED BY FRI
DAY MORNINE
NEED MANY MORE MEN
COMMITTEES WORKING TO Sc.
CURE REQUISITE NUMBER TO
FILL COMPANY

1t would be an awful thing if Moscow
would fall down" now and lose the
company of national guards that has
been organized here and was mustered
into the service Monday night, yet that
will happen unless enough more men
are added to those already enlisted to
bring the total to 100 men by Friday
morning.
Adjutant General Moody will return
to Moscow Friday for the purpose of
completing the organization and the
ultimatum has gone out that the full
number, 100 men, must be ready to be
sworn in when he returns. If this
number is not secured it is not too
late now to disband the company and
Moscow would never outlive the dis
grace.
The committee has worked hard
and conscientiously to secure the re-
out pay and there has been some
splendid work done, but there are some
who are not doing their duty. The
committee will not brand these as
slackers, but think there are many
here who have not done all they can
or should. Mr.. Lee said: 'They have
given excuses that seem to satisfy
them but they do not satisfy me nor
the other members of the committee"
The people of Moscow have one
more day after today to fill the ranks
of the home company of national
guards This means 100 men. Sand
point, not nearly as large nor good
a town as Moscow, has 149 men en-
rolled and Moscow can not afford to
be far behind Standpoint.
Every man who is eligible to join
this home company is going to be given
an opportunity to enroll before to-
morning is the statement
made by the committee and Fridays
wants to contain the
statement that the company, with the
full number required, has been enter
ed in the service of the state as one
sources of northern Idaho.
The following is a list of enlist
ments to the National Guard since yes

lished in this paper:

TEACHERS HAVE
DONE GOOD WORK
CARD INDEXING OF LATAH COUN-
TY QUESTIONNAIRES ALMOST
COMPLETED

The school teachers of Moscow did
splendid work Friday and Saturday in
assisting the local selective draft board
in card indexing and posting the ques-
tionnaires and arranging the clerical
work connected with the draft. The
work is almost completed and can be
finished in the evenings, after school
hours.
The work would have been complet-
ed Saturday had it not been for the
fact that IT'S questionnaires were in
the hands of the district board at
Standpoint. 1t is hoped to get these
back this week and if they are re urn
ed the work of indexing them will be
completed Saturday.
Homer Estes, county auditor, re-
ports 173 men enlisted from Latah
county as volunteers since the coun-
tvs quota of 129 was filled last fall.
Two more men were sent to Spokane
on enlistment Saturday night. The
total number of men now serving the
colors from Latah county is 302.
The board has examined 325 class
men in this county under the new reg
ulations and about 80 per cent of these
were found physically fit. There are
about 100 class 1 men yet to be ex-
amined in this county.

When women first were put to work
in shell factories in England they
handled only the light feld-gun shells.
Later it became necessary for them to
turn out larger shells, and doubts were
raised as to whether the women were
strong enough to handle them. A
young mother settled the question.
'Let me heft the, SHE'LL" she said,
picking one up from the floor. "Aye,"
she commented, ''this shell is a mite
heavy, tbs true, but it's not so heavy
as my baby
There is a shell factory in the Liv-
erpool district operated almost exclu-
sively by the daughters of business
and professional men. Many are
young girls who had never done any
kind of work other than needle work
and cooking. The heavy work of the
establishment is performed by the
wives of sailors.

times they were driven back. he said,
