NEW MEXICO HAS MADE
MIGHTY POOR RECORD so
FAR ON SAVING STAMPS

East Las Vegas, March 2l. The
first official report covering the
standing of the states in sales of War
Savings stamps, has just been re-
ceived by the New Mexico head
quarters here. 1t is statement of
the per capita standing of the states
on February IS, and refers to post
office reports only. This shows that
on that date New Mexico stood 81
in the list of states, with a per capita
sale of war savings and thrift stamps
of 2o-cents.
Nebraska leads the list of states
with per capita sale of $204. Con-
necticut is second with Sl04 Arizona's
per capita on that date was 46 cents.
1t is pointed out that the heaviest
sales of war saving stamps in New
Mexico have been made since Feb.
IS and that the statement referred
to covers only post office reports
received by the Treasury department
to that date. The next statement,
it is expected here, will show New
Mexico has made a material advance
in per capita in the past thirty days.
The state however. is far behind its
quota as whole and
vigorous work will be required on
the part of War Savings committees
and thrift stamp workers to bring
the sales UP to the half yearly aver
age by June 30 Strenuous drives are
now being planned in nearly every
in the state. These will be
carried out not in conflict with the
liberty loan, but in connection with
that campaign, and it is expected
that the work as planned will be
helpful to both.

DISTRICT BOARD
ENDS SESSION HERE
FEW MARRIED MEN TAKEN
FROM CLASS FOUR. MANY
SINGLE FARMERS ADVANCED

The district board which has been
in session here since yesterday to act
on appeals from Latah county regis
trants, of whom there were $50 mar
ried men with dependents. The board
is leaving most of these men in class
q v though many Of them have no
| children. The board announced that in
other counties all men who were mar
ried before war was declared, even
though they have no children, have
been placed in class a and they would
not treat Latah different from other
counties.
The local advisory board placed 226
Of these men in class 1 and 100 ap-
pealed. The remaining 46 who did
not appeal, have been examined and
about half Of them will entrain next
Monday for Camp Fremont, Califor-
MIA, to enter the army. Some of those
who did not appeal feel that they
have not had a square deal and that
those who appealed should not be
given better treatment than those who
did not appeal, but the local board is
not responsible. "Four of us Mos
COW men did not appeal and are go
ing to camp next week and we will
have a bad taste in our mouths when
we think of those who appealed and
were released" said a young married
man who was married long before
war was declared.
There are about 20 or 25 young I'M
married men, who had been given de-
ferred classification on account of ag-
riculture, who are placed in class 1.
The list of these names will be ready
for publication in a few days. There
were about 100 men in agricultural
deferred classifications and about SO
of them have been placed i'm class l..
The names of 26 of these were pub
lished recently. The others will be
published as soon as they are pre-
pared by the auditor.

senting the attempt of the Nonpartizan league TO secure
control or the legislature by nominating men of any old
political party as democrats for legislative positions. But
the act that has aroused the greatest resentment lis that
of a citizen of Washington coming into Idaho and selecting
candidates for the voters of this county. The flagrancy of
that insult "gets the goats of the democrats.
But history is only repeating itself. Until last fall there
lived a man who did to Washington what a Washington

to the loyalty and patriotism Of himself and his cohorts,

select candidates for them to elect to the legislature? That
is a question that will be answered at the September pri-
maries, but if the democrats of Latah county nominate two
socialists and a republican as democratic candidates for
the legislature from this county, it will be a surprise to the
people of the county as we'll as to those of the entire state.
We are not making prophesies, but if the men nominated

cratic legislative candidates in this county are given the
nomination at the September primaries we will surely be
surprised. N
