A meeting of all threshing machine
owners, farmers and others interested in
the harvest has been called by the county
council of defense for the court house
next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock to
take steps to arrange details of harvest
work. The question of fixing a uniform
price for threshing will be taken up. The
council of defense and the labor and
farm bureaus have taken up the question
of providing help for the farmers in
harvest. 1t is hoped that there will be
a big attendance. Every farmer is inter
ested in the business before this meeting
and should attend if possible.

The campaign waged by the Canyon
county farm bureau the last year for the
construction of sifos as a factor for the
conservation of grain is bearing fruit in
all parts of Canyon county as it is pre-
dicted that more si1os will be constructed
inLthe different communities of the
ty this year than in any previous year in
its history. Canyon has at present about
10 si1os to which will possibly be added
about 40 the coming season, according to
County Farm Agent R. H. Musseh.

K. OF C. PLEDGES
LOYAL SUPPORT
STRONG RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
BY ORGANIZATION IN RE-
CENT CONVENTION

Knights of Columbus at their last state
convention, held at Genesee, Idaho,
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, Our country today is con-
fronted with a crisis of such overwhelm-
ing magnitude and of such vital impor-
lance as to equal that first crisis which
existed at the very birth of liberty and
free government in our land, because the
preservation of this principal or liberty
democracy and free government not only
for our country, but for all humanity, is
today at stake; therefore be it
Resolved, That we must be prepared
to make every sacrifice, ever to the Civ
ing up of life itself to preserve those
principals which have been left to us by
our forefathers as such a priceless heri-
tage, and which it is Our duty as Ameri-
can citizens to maintain and defend; be
it further
Resolved, That we hereby renew our
pledge of unreserved loyalty and support
to the President of the United States,
to this our government, and to all its
authorized representatives, in any and all
measures adopted by II government,
towards the winning of the war.
Whereas, The United States govern
ment has extended to our order the spe-
cia1 privilege of assisting the government
in promoting the spiritual and temporal
welfare Of the men in the service, both
at home and abroad, and that Of BUR
allies; and
Whereas, Much has been accomplished
by the Knights of Columbus in carrying
out that sacred trust -confided to them
but there still remain much greater
things to be done.

the factory could not supply all of the
machines needed and sold out the en-
tire output of the factory several weeks
ago. These machines require but two
men Cor two girls) to operate and can
cut several hundred acres ina season
and put the grain in the sack at one
operation.
The factory is planning to double its
output of machines for next year if men
and material can be secured. The fac
tory now has capacity for 200 machines
a year.
Mr.. Priddy will work out of Moscow
for a time. He left Tuesday evening
for Walla Walla, where his company
sold several carloads of the combined
harvesters this year. Mr.. Priddy makes
his home in Moscow, but is on the
road most of the time.

Important as is the harvest of the grain crop it is
regarded by the government as second to the raising
and e~quipping of an army. Provost Marshal General
Crowder has made it plain that men will not be re-
leased from military service even to save the grain
crop and wisely suggests that we can do as Illinois
has done, organize school boys, bank clerks or men
who are not producers Of anything, to go into the har-
vest fields and save the crops. There is not a town
in the Inland Empire that has not enough men who
never do an honest days work in a month and have
never been known to do real hard work, to save the
grain crop without interfering with the work of rails
ing an army. Let the men in town get out into the
harvest fields and save the grain crop. It will be a
good thing for them to harden their hands and it will
be doing real patriotic work.

'chool and had helped with horses on
be farm before their brothers went to
var, offered to harvest the crop. At
first Mr.. Anderson hesitated, but the
girls insisted and they took the machine,
hitched IL horses to it and cut several
hundred acres of wheat which yield
ed well. Anna sewed the sacks, and did
as good a job as any professional. After
the grain was harvested the girls took
teams and gathered up several thou
sand bushels of wheat and are now en-
gagged in hauling it to market.
Mr.. Priddy says the wheat crop was
fairly good in California, probably aver
aging from 90 to IS per cent of a normal
crop for the entire state. In the southern
part much of the grain was damaged by
hot, dry weather, but in the Sacramento
and San Joaquin valleys the yield was,
good.
The Idaho National Harvester com
pany, whose factory is located at Mos
COW, sold more than $4,000 worth of
harvesters in California this year.
The supply of labor was very short and
he need of machines that require but
little labor % operate was SO great that

And, therefore, we recommend, That
we continue with ~unflagging zeal and
undying devotion to support the wal ac-
tivities of our order by thorough organi-
cation in every community and district
throughout the state, and every indi-
vidual and separate committee cooper
ating towards this, and according to the
methods approved by the government.
The thanks and appreciation of the
State Council of Idaho Knights of Co.
lumbus is extended to the press, to
Catholic and non-C catholic alike, for the
magnificent assistance given the Knights
of Columbus in their war activities.

CALIFORNIA GIRLS
OPERATE COMBINE
TWO SISTERS IN SACRAMENTO
VALLEY CUT SEVERAL HUN
DRIED ACRES OF GRAIN

How two California girls, Grace and
Anna Anderson cut several hundred
acres with an Idaho National Combined
harvester, Grace driving II horses and
Anna sewing sacks, is an interesting
story brought to Moscow by M. C..
Priddy, travelling. salesman for this firm,
who has been in California since early
last spring. The two girls are daughters
of John Anderson, an extensive farmer
in the Sacramento valley. Their two
brothers were called by the draft and
harvest help was hard to obtain. Mr..
Anderson did pot know what to do
about saving his grain crop.

FRANK R. GOOD|NG
FOR u. S. SENATOR
FORMER GOVERNOR WILL ASK
TO BE SENT TO UNITED
STATES SENATE

BOISE.-Frank R. Gooding, who viii
enter the republican primary as a can.
didate for short term United States
senator, stands squarely on the repub-
lican platform recently adopted by the
state platform convention held in this
city. He particularly favors the power
plank.
In a statement regarding the platform
Mr.. Gooding said:
81 consider it one of the best plat
forms ever adopted by the republicans
of Idaho. I am especially we'll pleased
with the plank on the power question.
| have given the development of our
power serious consideration. I find that
the power companies, for some time
past, have failed to make any new de-
velopment whatsoever. The state has
caught up with all present power deve1-
opment, and much more could be used
to good advantage. By an order of the
public utilities commission in the spring
the power load for heating purposes
was withdrawn from the people in order
to meet the demands for power for
pumping water for irrigation, and even
with this it is said that some parts of
the state have suffered from lack of
sufficient power for pumping.
"The people of Idaho have given the
power companies an absolute monopoly
under our present laws. It is now i'm
possible for any man to exercise the
right to develop water power under
present conditions. Idaho people have
the right to demand that natural re-
sources be developed and I am satisfied
that they will see to it that they are de-
veloped. But whatever the outcome
may be between the people and the
power company, all may rest assured
that Idaho is not going to cripple any
industry by legislation. It has always
been generous and fair toward invested
capital. I have lived here since boy
hood and never have | seen a disposition
to confiscate anybody's property, or to
be unfair. The state has been generous
to a fault in its dealings with capital.
"Of course I realize that this is not
the time for the power company to
make costly extensions; but the trouble
is that it showed no disposition to make
extensions and improvement when it
was the proper time"

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATES PRESS
GETTING Down TO BUSINESS.

There is cheering news in the announcement from
Washington today that "the sole object Of the Allied
armies now is to kill as many Germans as possible
That sounds cold-blooded and heartless, but that is
what war is, and then some. The only way to end this
war is to defeat the kaiser. and the only way to defeat
him is to kill the poor dupes who are willing to be
killed in order that the house of Hohenzollerns may
have a throne for each of it's sons.
The sooner all sentiment is withdrawn from the war
and the work of fighting the devil with fire" namely
fighting the Hun with torture, treachery and every
method known to the savage warrior, is adopted by the
Allies that much sooner will the war be ended.
There is neither honor, principle nor anything manly
about the German rulers. They are as treacherous as
the American Indian and as heartless and cold-blooded
as %cannibals. They are more dangerous than mad dogs
and rattlesnakes and should and must be exterminated.
If the German people who are offering their lives,
their all, the hope of the future, everything they have
or ever expect to have for the kaisr, are willing to
Fight and be killed in order that he and his sons may
rule the world, let US kill them and do it quickly.
Military experts say that at least one million Ger
mans must be killed before the Germans will begin
to weaken. The kaiser has offered one and a half
million German lives to reach Paris and the channel
ports. He cannot reach them. Let us help him make
the sacrifice CT his subjects and kill one million or
two million or any number needed to crush his army
and make the world safe from such a brute.

The county council Of defense has called a meeting at
the court house next Saturday to try to fix a uniform price
for threshing. This is a good move. The council wants
to know why the ~threshing of wheat should be IS cents a
bushel in Latah county, five cents in Ada county and six
cents in some other county. The meeting at the court
house next Saturday afternoon will be an important one
and should be attended by every farmer, threshing machine
owner and grain dealer who can get there. The saving of
the grain crop is now the most important matter before
the people of Latah county. Let there be a good attend
ance at Saturdays meeting.

them again today, with several thousand dead Germans as
