S. A. I. C. BOYS HELP
IN PRuNE ORCHARDS
MEN TO SAVE CROP is
MADE KNOWN

Unless the rains interfere with
prune picking in the Latah county
orchards, the next few days will see
some 20 of the soldiers who are in
training at the university, climbing
ladders in the prune orchards and
helping the farmers save the crops
which must be picked within very
short time. When an urgent call
came in to the government farm labor
bureau at this place, Mr.. Parsons,
who is in charge, announced that there
was a great need of men and prompt
ly met with the response from Cap
tain Edgington that he would call
for volunteers from among his men.
Twenty men volunteered at once.
Mr.. Parsons informs The StarlMir-
ror that, while the readiness Of the
boys to help save the crop is appreci-
ated, it will be the policy of the
county council of defense from now on
to call on men who are not employed
on work that is essential to help in
the fields and orchards. He believes
that it is the wrong policy to take the
boys away from their training, es-
pecially when there are others who
could give their time.

erican to wear, the button as a badge

of submitting designs was thrown
open to the American public and the
designs were selected without refer
ence to the affiliations of the artists.

RETURNING SOLDIERS
WILL WANT FARMS

BOISE.-As the result of a conference
held here recently between state agricul-
tural officials of California, Washington
Oregon, and Idaho state officials, it has
been decided that Idaho wills DIN with
other western states in urging upon con-
gress the desirability of uniform legis-
lation to provide for establishment of
returned soldiers upon public lands
Frank Adams, chief in irrigation in
vestigation of the University of Cali
fornia; H. D. Scudder, chief of farm
management at Oregon Agricultural col
lege, and E. W. Burr of the Washington
state land settlement department were in
attendance at the conference, at which
r. S. Madden, secretary to Governor
Alexander, and other state officials were
present.
1t was stated that so per cent of sol
diers now overseas had expressed a
preference for farm life after the war,
and it is desired to have the western
lands made available for their use.

WINDOW ADVERTISING
USED BY GOVERNMENT

A meeting of the local branch OF

on window displays, of which E. G
St. John is chairman, was held at
eight O'Clock yesterday evening at
the council of defense rooms, with
representatives present from practic-
ally every mercantile establishment in
the city.
All present were deeply interested
in the work and Mr.. St. John, in a
snort talk, urged the Importance of
immediate action and stated that there
was no excuse for anyone not doing
his full duty. He urged that the dis
play windows be used to advertise all
local war work, and stated that be-
cause of Moscow drawing people
daily from other communities, the
advertising in the store windows here
is of especial value, and besides,
serves to show to others that the city
is deeply interested in aiding in the
work.

TREATIES BRING MEN
FOR ALLIED CAUSE

Approximately 100000 men will be
made available for service to the al
lies by means Of treaties now being
completed between the United States
and it's comrade nations in the war.
Citizens of France, Italy and Greece
in this country who are of military
age, are made subject to the draft.
The new treaties are practically
counterparts of the agreements that
already exist between the United
States and Great Britain.
1t also is provided in the treaties
which have been sent to the senate
for ratification, that the allied coun-
tries may draft American citizens of
military age who are within their
borders.
Before being drafted the aliens
subject to draft by the United States
under the new arrangement may have
the privilege of enlisting in the mill
tarvy service of their own countries.
Within the next month the 60-day
period for the enlistment provided in
the British treaty will have expired
and British subjects will then become
liable to conscription.

ENTHUSE OVER PROGRAM FOR
GOVERNMENT WORK At j. Of |.

Every interest and every individual in
Moscow is enthusiastically back of the
university, and thus back of the govern
ment, in the effort to make it possible
| to accommodate larger unit of the stu
| dents army training corps at the univer-
s1ty, as has been requested by the gov
ernment.
AS stated in yesterdays Star-Mirror,
the government has approved the plans
whereby 500 fighting mechanics may be
trained at the university, instead OF lOO,
providing the necessary buildings and
equipment will be guaranteed within the
| next 81 days. To get the citizenship of
the community effectively back of the
university IN this emergency, meeting
OF business men was called by L. +.
Parsons, chairman of the countw coun-
Gil OF defense, at council of defense head
quarters last night. Some rs men active
III the affairs of the community were
present. Mr.. Parsons presided and ex-
planned the object of the meeting and
pointed out the need for immediate
action, if this service to the government
was to be rendered.
President Lindley of the university
explained just what the government de-
sired, and stated that with 800 me
chanics and 900 S. A. I. C.. men,
which it is the purpose to accom-
modate here, together with the women
who will attend, the total enrolment for
the coming term is likely to be above
l2OO. He called attention to the inlme-
diate need for the enlargement of the
plant to accommodate this numbef 1t
was pointed out that it will be necessary
to build mess hall of shack >,construc-
ton on the university grounds, and to
secure barracks and also to provide
equipment for the work of the 800
mechanics
1t was brought out at the meeting that
J. J. Day, president of the Idaho Ma
tional Harvester company, had offered
the harvester company plan for the use
of the government, through the univer
sity. This would solve Immediately the
problem of equipment for training the
800 fighting mechanics. 1t was also sug-
gested that other buildings in the city,
suitable for barracks and for mess halls,
cou1d bersecured
It is estimated that $45,000 will be
needed in order to meet the govern
ment's requirements, and the present
plan, which is generally approved, is to
issue deficiency warrants to cover this.
A committee consisting of F. A.
David, chairman; Judge Z. c. Steele
and ]. S. Heckathorn, was named at the
meeting to represent the community in
with the university author
tiles.
