declared in an interview today. He

to the townsfolk in the Methodist
church.
President Wilbur is graduate OF
Stanford. In his student~days he was
closely associated with Herbert
Hoover; and the two men have al
ways kept in touch with each other.
Hoover is now one of the regents Of
Stanford. When Mr.. Hoover as
sumed charge of the food conserva-
tion work President Wilbur was one
of the first men he summoned to his
assistance. It. was Wilbur who or
ganized the food conservation divis-
ion of our Federal Food Administra-
ton; and ever since then he has been
largely responsible for the admins
tration of that division.
In addition to his work at the nat
ional capital President Wilbur has
spoken to great audiences in every
state in the Union. He is therefore
able to speak to US with abundant
knowledge of the actual
food situation, of the prospects of
food supply for ourselves and for our
allies, and of the war sentiment in
the various parts of our country. He
says that in some parts of the coun-
try the people have relapsed into a
state of more or less indifference
since the enthusiasm of the first
stages of the war. The prolonged
period of neutrality had very seri-
ous effect up on the mental attitude

Mr.. Phelps was knocked down and
his right leg broken below the knee
The break is a bad one. His trous-

blood flowed freely, covering the
sidewalk in great pools.
Mr.. Carpenter suffered severe
bruises on the legs and arms and
hand. No bones were broken but his
injuries are painful. He was able to

BOYuSCOUTS START
BOND CAMPAIGN
LITTLE SOLDIERS WILL 'MOP
UP" GROUND OVER WHICH
MEN HAVE GONE

This morning the Boy Scouts be-
gan their intensive cleanup CAIN
paign for Liberty Loan bonds. The
scouts will endeavor to canvass the
entire community and citizens may
expect visit from them. The boys
will have application blanks which are
self-explanatory. Giving your sub
scription to a Boy Scout is as effect
i've as giving it to any other COM
mittee, for in any case, payments
must be made at local bank before
the close of the campaign. If you
wish to subscribe or to increase your
subscription, fill in the blank with
your name, the name of the bank at
which you do your banking, and the
method Of payment. You may pay
the bank personally, or authorize
them to charge your account with
whatever amount you wish to pay
down. The scouts can not handle
any funds whatever. An application
through the Boy Scouts is not bind
ing, until payment is made at the
bank and your name will not be pub
lished as a bond subscriber until
such payment is made.
In the next four days Moscow must
make up a large deficit balance in
order to ego over" and an additional
subscription through the Boy Scouts
will be effective. If Moscow re-
spends to this cleanup campaign it
will also win another honor, for the
Scout organization in each state that
sells the greatest amount of bonds
this week will win the presidents
flag. Lewiston won in the second
campaign with little over $4,000.
Moscow must subscribe much more
than that this week, and there is
every reason to think that Moscow
Scouts can win the flag.
The Star Mirror will publish the
Boy Scout returns from day to day
next week, and your subscription
will be added to the roll of honor in
the same manner as before
The Boy Scouts are making this
in every city and commun-
1ty of Importance in the United
States, and with the sanction and by
the request of President Wilson and
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
