ITEMS Of ACTIVITY FROM
STATE COUNCIL Of DEFENSE
Idaho's Organization Appreciated.

Idaho has one of the most COM
plete war organizations in the
United States. This in brief is the
report that Joseph Hansen. secretary
OF the state council of defense, brings
back with him from Washington, D.
c. where he was afforded an oppor-
tunity to confer with those actively
in charge OF war work and hear re-
ports made by other states It was
gratifying to him and will unques-
tionably be so to all members Of
county councils to learn they are
part of an organization which is
recognized as one of the best By the
nations leaders
This state has yet to see a failure
in going over the top on a war drive
whether it be for men or money 1t
has been prepared and is still pre-
pared to make any sacrifice the ma
tion may call for. These facts Secre-
tary Hensen discovered were known
Fat Washington and thoroughly APP
preeiated there While aware of
them it was gratifying to him to
realize Washington was also He
returns to his home state proud OF
the efforts that co-workers in all
communities have put forth to give
Idaho such prominence. The east is
intensively patriotic and very demon
monstrative. Patriotism there, how
eyes, is no more intensive than 1t is
in Idaho and other western states
Those in Washington in touch
with the war coneede the situation
on the western front to be serious
but they absolutely confident that
in the end the United States is
bound to win, said Secretary Han
sen. We are not to become alarmed
but to energetically back the govern
ment in every way.
Secretary Hansen went east to
attend the conference called by
FRANKLIN K. Lane, secretary of the
interior, to provide ways and means
for the Americanization of foreign
born He will recommend to the
state council for Idaho that ugor-
GUS propaganda be inaugurated in
this state to follow out the plan
outlined and a special committee be
named to supervise the work.

64 NEGROES GO ID CAMP PIKE
 FOR DUTY TODAY
Local Boards Send First In- crement of New Call Off
 This Morning.

Sixty-four negroes leave this morn ing for Camp Pike to fill the first increment of Jefferson county's quota of the new draft call. The party is composed of 50 men from board No. 2 and IA from board No. 1. Practi- cally all of these men apply on the unified quota of the old draft.
 The white men called by the two boards to fill the first quota of the new draft will be sent to camp Mon day.
 Eight of the colored registrants of board No. 2 are very much "in bad" as they failed to show up for duty when called and technically are classed as deserters. The officials of the board state that they advise these men to report at the earliest possible moment and thus avoid probable ser ious punishment. The men who fail ed to report are: Reuben Terry, Mack Griffin, Robert Conley, Will Bender, Willie Vester, Henry Love, Ernest Richardson and Jesse Powell.

NIVEN CONSENTS TO
 REMAIN .IU SERVICE
Banker, Planter and Public Spirited Man Yields to Friends and An.
 nounces for Legislature.

D. E. Niven, one of the representa- tives from Jefferson county in the general assembly, has finally acquiesc- ed in the wishes of numerous frineds and supporters and consented to be- come candidate for reelection. MT. Niven makes formal announcement of his intention in this issue of The Graphic.
 Jefferson county has been consid- cred fortunate in possessing citizens of the caliber of MT. Niven willing to make the sacrifice that service in the legislature entails. And none has stood higher, nor performed better service than Mir. Niven, and announce ment of his consent to continue in ser vice will be received with qualification by people turnout the county, as we'll as among the assemblymen from other counties and state officials who have been sincerely desirous of legislating for the best interests of al lthe people
 That it is wisdom to have man like MT. Niven in the legislative body has been recognized. A business man of ability, with experience in banking, planting and merchandising, he pro- vides expert advice in such matters as they affect the states business and the interests of the public. Of the, highest integrity, tolerant in his views, with high ideals for himself and his people, and. .embued with a desire to be of real service to his country, state. county and fellowman, it is doubted by those who know MT. Niven if better man could be chosen In any county as one of the representatives in the coneral assembly or other important body.

 "Pep Systemic. Pills were recom- mended to me and after taking only two bottles. I gained twelve pounds and my stomach trouble disappeared, my nerves became calm and enjoyed sound sleep at night, which made me refreshed. =: .....

FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH MEMBERS
 PLAN GREAT DAY
Propose to Make Tomorrow Most Eventful Day
 of Revival.

Tomorrow is 70 be the high day in the Christian church revival. The member of the church are planning to have the largest Sunday school ever assembled in the church. They have been most industriOusly working to attain this goal and if weather con- ditions are favorable they expect to attain their aim. The Sunday school has had remarkable growth in the last few months, and the goal, set for tomorrow will add great enthu- siasm to the entire work of the school. The officers and teachers of the school have been untiring in their efforts to put over the biggest thing they have ever attempted.
 At the church services tomorrow Dr. Jordan will speak in the morning on "The First Easter Morning" In the evening his subject will be "The Supreme Tragery," MT. SaxtOn has splendid program of music for the occasion and the day promises to be full of interest for every one.
 Last night full house heard the sermon on "What Will You Do With Jesus? ?' The text was taken from Matthew 27:22, "What then shall do with Jesus who is call the Christ"
 "We are free to make this choice of the Christ as the Savior" said Dr. Jordan. God does not campel. No moral worth in anything we do with out freedom of choice. Two things are always before us, Christ and the world. We are allowed to weigh the matter. To chose rightly is the thing for which we have much encourage ment
 '"The choice is always between good and evil. We must make the choice of Christ or reject him. We must do something with Him every time we have the opportunity to accept or re- jest Him. We are responsible for the results attending the choice. A deci- sion to serve Christ means an eter- nifty of bliss"
 This was considered one of the strongest appeals Dr. Jordan has made and it did not fall upon deaf ears. a-
