the breadwinners and producers, is
most important.

tions have made suggestions looking
to exemption from military duty but
publishers ask no favors.

army and navy, to boost the liberty

This is all done without money and
without price and no other line of
business gives it's help so completely
without hope of reward.
The press is Loyalty promoting the
plans for food conservation. for ship
building, sugar production. oil and
power development.
The great industries that are back
of the military preparations and the
multitude of little local industries are
given support.

Jerome Man Went
to Bed in Alley
DisrObed and Retired But Found IL
UncOmfOrtable-Fi Finally Got Room
buds Found Next Day.

Gowned in a union suit and cover
ed by his natural modesty, a man Civ
ing his name as j. l.. Showers of Je-
rome retired in the rear of the Hotel
Perrine Monday night to enjoy 1.-THE
Sunshine of Paradise Alley" in dream
land, after returning from Twin
Springs. He undressed in the alley
before retiring. Later the location
seemed uncomfortable when a cold
misty rain began falling so he tried
to get into the hotel, finally landing
in the sample room, at least so the
thing was Sherlock Holmesed, for no
body saw or heard him in the sample
room, but foot prints on the sample
table (there being no sands of time
conveniently indicated that somebody
was perambulating aimlessly in deep
if not puzzled mediation, evidently un-
der the delusion that he was climb
ing up the Golden Stairs"
Later a chilled individual. largely
unattired and quite sober, appeared
at local rooming house and obtain
ed quarters for the night.
Although the man had no idea Of
what had become of his raiment. il
was finally located next day by the
police in the alley mentioned above
and $3.50 in change in one of the pock-
cts was undisturbed. No booze was
found and as nobody had seen him
Intoxicated, however strongly circum-
stances might have tended to raise
such presumption in the minds of the.
suspicious, he was not arrested and
took his clothes and departed.

certainly appreciate the interest the
newspaper men in the state are TAX
ing in all branches of their work and
are very grateful for the extreme
courtesy extended to us.
The TIMES has always been among
the first to make inquiry and to ex-
tend to us the use of it's columns, and
this paper has our thanks for asking
us to say a word about our coming
drive for the boys and girls of Idaho.
Our plans are yet in the rough, as to
the nature of making this drive. We
will be able to give committees, ETC.,
next week.
This fund now owned and used by
the Idaho State Federation of Wom-
ems clubs for this I1ost worthy work
has by persistent notwithstanding
over IL years-reached the sum of
$500. During the past four years
calls for this fund have been far be-
yond our ability to fill, and now the
war makes the increasing of this sum
imperative.
We know of the very many calls the
war has brought-will bring-but the
raising of this fund is also a war
measure, and that in spite of ALL will
receive hearty and loving response
from Idaho citizens, goes without say
ing. Already we are asked to assist
two whose fathers have gone to fight
for us. That they will not ask in vain
is a foregone conclusion. We have
only begun our work yet everywhere
we are meeting with deepest interest
and many inquiries.
AT no time during the past 5 years
have we been able to loan to lower
classmen, but only 70 juniors and
seniors, even then it takes four or five
years for the amount loaned each in
dividual to return to the treasury, and
become again available
We loan 500 year, have never had
money enough to increase this amount
no matter how great the need. The
student pays no interest until out of
college, and is given one year to get
on his feet, during this year and until
same is returned he pays per cent.
Then at beginning of second year from
college he is expected to return five
or ten dollars per month according to
amount earned, until all is returned.
So yau can see how much money is
needed, If students are to be helped
in all stages of college course as the
government is urging us to do, and
as we should do. We cannot supply
all upper classmen now to say nothing
of freshmen and sophomores.
Even though the Federated Women
have raised and used this fund for
the benefit of Idaho boys and girls
and we are the only federation in the

south and all hands just about gave
up the ghost for we were going to-
ward Mexico, that nice little blot on
the map where we roasted during the
summer of 1916. Those who had been
there certainly had no desire to go
again; however, luck was with us and
we sailed right on by. On or about
the thirtieth we anchored off San Jose,
Guatemala, where we staid a few days
and then went on to Balboa, Panama,
where we remained from the twentieth
to the twenty-eighth. We passed
through the canal and after coaling
at Colon passed on through the Car
ribean sea and following the coast line
of South America, passed through the
Grenada Islands and headed south for
Brazil. Crossing the Equator June
10th all hands were initiated into the
Domain of Neptunus Rex Ruler of the
Raging Main. We arrived in Bathia,
Brazil the fourteenth, staying over
night at Bathia we steamed on the fol-
lowing day for Rio De Janerio where
we arrived the eighteenth. We re-

about fifteen days, when we again got
underway.
The evening of the twenty-fourth
saw us entering the harbor of Buenos
Aires, Argentina. Six days were
spent in B. A., and then we started
north again.
So far we had only been visiting but
now we came in for the work.
From August ninth to October four
