Places Where Idle Congregate.

Whereas: 1t has come to my know
ledge that within the state there are
certain places of amusement where
games are INDUCED in and people con
gregate during working hours, and the
only use of such places is for the amuse-
ment and pleasure of the idle, which is
contrary to the spirit of the American
people in this critical hour;
"Now, therefore, l Moses Alexander,
governor of the state of Idaho, do call
upon the county and municipal officers
of the state to see that every place

THE HOME FRONT

The battle front in Europe is
not the only American front.
There is a home front, and our
people at home should be as pa
triotic as our men in uniform in
foreign lands.
Every American soldier who
has fallen in France, every Amer
lean sailor who has died for his
country S cause has given his life
for his people. Surely we, their
people, can lend our money to
our nation, their country.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is
the fighting loan. Its great sue

Its success means American vie
tory Prussian defeat.

pointing out his position in the mat

w. Owens, county agricultural agent
today made the following statement:
"A recent ruling of the Railroad
Administration has made it possible
for consumers to receive a so per
cent rebate on all car load shipments
of feed of every nature, and since
this measure is strictly a war one,
feel that all farmers and dealers in
grain and feed should appreciate my
position as a representative of the
Department of Agriculture inasmuch
as must issue orders to buyers be-
fore they can receive this reduction.
AT other times and under normal
conditions those who deal in feed and
grain would look upon the PROPOSE
tion and the county agent as a COM
petitor but in the midst of such

THE PEACE OUR SOLDIERS
WANT

The Stars and Stripes, the Of
ficial newspaper published by the
soldiers Of the American EXpedi-
tionary Forces in France, says
editorially about the enemy peace
offensive:
Let the Weak-hearted who are
dreaming Of a compromise; let
the pacifists who are talking a
peace by agreement; let the side
liners who have had enough of
war; let the secretly inclined pro-
Germans who think this war
should end without decision
let them one and all know once
and for all that for the American
Expeditionary Force there is no
such word as Peace with the
Huns unbeaten The man who
talks of peace today, except
through victory, is a traitor"
The enemy peace offensive is
lkcued to the action of German
machnc.guu crews in the Veslc
fighting, when they fought and
killed Americans until they were
surrounded, then shouted KAN
Grad. "
The mothers of the American
soldiers in France want the same
peace their sons demand. All |
the courage of the ancient Spar
tan mother is in the hearts of the
women Of America.
The object of the Fourth lib
erty Loan is TO bring that peace
"a gust peace, "A righteous peace,
an American peace.

Human neuelonment.

Man has been on the earth perhaps
some twenty odd thousand years, aud
1t is only the last three thousand that
we are much concerned with. TO sup
pose that a modern l1nglisAman must
necessarily be at higher stage Of
mental development than an ancient
Greek is almost the same mistake as
to argue that Browning must be a
better poet than Wordsworth because
he came later. If the soul, or the
brain, of man is developing, it is not
developing as fast or so steadily as
all that.-Gilbert Murray in the Cen
tury Magazine.

Stop Ktching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zenlo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, $100. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In short time
usually every trace of eczema, tetter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making 1t
vigorously healthy, always use zerno, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
cthers fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.
