! Sox work is progressing nicely
among the knitters. Most Of the
toes and heels are about right. Mrs.
Hendrie is waiting for many more
pairs to be sent in, however, before
she can prepare the shipment.
Those surgical dressingers are to
be well supplied with nicely cut and
folded squares of old white goods
after a while. Mrs. Dunn phoned
she had package ready. Mrs. Jack
man sent over some material and
Mrs. Irwin, aged Is, is busy helping
us out.
Each of our local chapters have
had a little vacation recently. The
knitters were out of yarn; the Sur
gfcal Dressingers were waiting for
gauze; the Belgian Reliefers could
not sew for the little six-year-olds
until the three big bolts Of material
came and now the Sewers are watt
ing for goods with which to manu-
facture the good warm bed sox.
Mrs. Robbins wisely suggests that
while workers are waiting for mater
ials they plan to keep up all the,
home work and get little ahead
1t possible SO the various chapters
will not feel the burden of work
when it comes to us.
There is an ever increasing family
of boys "over there" that we are
beginning to count by millions. We
must look carefully to ourselves that
each may do a full share to keep
them comfortable.

Wheat Crop Not
Up to Standard

Around the Springfield vicinity the
grain Is looking fine with an average
OF forty bushels to the acre. The
wheat at Taber is not so good. the
average acreage being twenty bu-
shells.
The heavy hail storm of four
weeks ago damaged the grain con-
siderable at American Falls, but
notwithstanding this fact the acreage
will be fair.
In the wheat fields south of Black
foot extending to Pocatello is good
with an average Of thirty-five or
forty bushels. In the fields north of
here the oats and barley acreage is
hardly average.

RAGE IN CHICAGO
Four Killed and Seventy
FIVE Wounded.

| CHICAGO, Sept. A bomb ex-
ploding in the entrance of the federal
building this afternoon killed four
persons and wounded seventy-five
others.
The blast was attributed to the I.
w. w. by Phillip J. Parry, acting
chief of the local federal Investigation
bureau.
The list of dead follows:
William H. Wheeler, mail clerk.
J. B. Ladd, sailor from the Great
Lakes naval training station, whose
home was in Saline, Kan.
E. r. Koikow, a postal clerk.
Miss Helen Michike Of Chicago.
While the city police were rushing
the wounded to the hospital, federal
agents hurried from the building and
made two raids on l., w. w. head
quarters. Nine men were bagged at
these places and woman was grab
bed in a nearby office building. Her
identity is being kept secret.
The explosion wrecked the en-
trance Of the building and shattered
every window in the first three floors
of two building across the street.

Lands, where ninety-five l. w. w.
leaders were given prison sentences
a few day ago, is on the sixth floor

Haywood in the Building at Time
William D. ("Big Bill') Haywood,
"uncrowned king" Of the I. w. W.,
was in the building at the time Of the
explosion. With his lawyer he was
planning to seek a writ of error to
stay the execution of the twenty-year
prison sentence given him.
He deplored the outrage and ad-
mitted he thought the I. w. w.
would be blamed, but denied empha-s
tically that any member of the organ
ization had committed the act.
Haywood plainly felt the building
tremble with the detonation OF the
bomb and heard the glass chars In
the dome Of the structure and the
cries of the injured. He appeared
calm and did not leave the deputy
office. at is unfortunate
that this thing happened at this
time,' he said feelingly. II know
that the /. w. w. will be blamed, but
am convinced in my own heart that
no man of my organization was in
my way connected with this matter.
t would be insane for an /. w. w. to
commit such an act at this time"

NATIONAL REGISTRATION DAY

The Idaho state council of defense
and all county councils Of defense
are called upon to see that a 100
per cent registration is secured in
this state September IL, under the
enlarged man-power draft = law.
Every county council is called upon
now by the state council to lay early
plans for making the national regis
tration day an occasion of patriotic
importance. The state council is SO
directed by the council Of national
defense.
The military program for the nine
month period from October, 1918 to
June 1919, inclusive calls for an
additional 100000 men, according
to the statement in the congressional
record, issue of August s, 1918.
We must have these men If we are
to make good our agreement with
our associates in the war. They
must be taken from class l of the
selective service If there is to be the
least possible interference with the
economic, industrial, commercial and
agricultural life of the nation.
On September 1, 1918, according
to the best estimates which can now
be made by the provost marshal gen
erals office, there will be not more
than 216,570 remaining in class |
from the registration of men from
twenty-one to thirty, including the
1918 class, age twenty-one, regis
tered under the presidents procla-
nation. This remainder will be en-
tirely exhausted by September calls.
The most urgent matter new con-
fronting us as nation, then is to
provide an additional reservoir of
man power in which approximately
!, 100000 fighting men will be in
class /. To insure the accomplish
ment Of this task, the selective SER
vice act has been amended to include |
al between the ages of 1920 in
elusive and 32-45, inclusive, and It |
VIII be necessary for all within those
age limits-all who have passed
'ighteen and are not yet forty-six-
o come foreward voluntarily on the
appointed. day and register them
elves as members of America, ready
when wanted.
It is estimated that 13,200.644
vni respond to the call and that
mere will be among them 2,39S,S45
lass ! fighting men. The margin
yer the absolute essential is small.
no not one man can be spared.
