Sugar Beet Meet

Ways, But Duty to Help, Says DIR.
Thompson

The farmers might make more prof

and yet it might be a patriotic duty
to help raise sugar beets, was the
opinion expressed at a meeting at
the office if the county agent at the
court house Saturday, by DR.. w. o.
Thompson. DR.. Thompson suggest
ed that every man was in some sense
a soldier even if he did not wear a
uniform. Even if men could make
more than the rate of interest on
liberty bonds, it was still their duty
to buy liberty bonds. He said that
farmers had gotten the "hot end of
the poker" often and were suspic-
ious. lest the other fellow was prof
iteering, and this was natural. The
farmer wanted to be treasured. He
believed that IL treasured he would
plant. 1t developed at the meeting
that the intention of the government
to allow the Amalgamated a pre-war
profit of six per cent on investment.

ar company had offered to allow an

N b. Wolfe,
Twin Falls. Idaho.
Dear Friends: After waiting for
what seemed a lifetime your letter
finally arrived and will now try to
answer. The winter is considered
about over and the great German
drive that was to so utterly pulver
ize the allies has not materialized.
AS you have probably noticed in the
papers, some of the boys are still at
target practice, but are using Ger
mans for targets. 1t would tickle
Fritz nearly to death if he could
know Just what regiments are fac
ing him and for that reason l will
not say just what part we are play
ing. But as their aircraft operates
from the front line to several miles
behind unless stopped by shell or
allied machine. it will not give away
| secrets to say one of them is flying
overhead now. l cant see him in
the dark but know it is Fritz from
the reception he is getting from the
anti-aircraft guns. l do not know
| just what his mission is, but from the
nature of the brute it is surely one
of mercy, such as dropping bombs
on a hospital or church.
The hard work of winter drill and
maneuvers have taken some of the
bounce out of the boys, but their
cheerfulness is still paramount and
will never down. Your remark that
you would be glad when the Sammies
are safe at home again made me
realize that all of the gladness will
not be yours, for the Sammies will
sure be glad also. But how strange
it will seem to lie down and sleep
without being loaded down with the
hardware and medicated muzzles, and
to know that one is in no danger OF
being gas bombed or shelled. Elk
tend best wishes to all

The next day bitter attacks were
made by Senator Lodge and others,
and a demand for "pitiless publicity
of all things relating to the conditions
on the front. as seen from the view

foes of the administration, was de-
handed. 1t was known by senator's
making this demand that this could
not be allowed for it would amount
to giving a statement of the exact con-
dition and location of our troops to the
enemy. Yet when it was denied, as
the men demanding it knew it would
be denied, the cry was raised that
The people we're being deprived OF
the right to know the facts" This
at once permitted an appeal to the
galleries and also permitted the at
