WHO SHOULD BUY BONDS

I'm last Saturday there opened
.hrouohout the United States OF
America campaign for the subscrlp'
ZION nv the American public OF three
I,;on dollars worth of U. S. govern
mont AZ percent bonds. Proceeds
e.on fine sale of the bonds will be de-
..o+od 70 prosecution of the war. The
bonds will mature in twenty years
II is the duty of every person finan-
eiaIIv able to purchase these bonds OF
.ho third Liberty issue in such amounts
&c will not hamper ones normal busl-
moss activities. 1t is not the desire OF
.ho government that a man shall invest
his money in Liberty bonds and at the
same time fail to pay his honest debts.
Rut the government does except every
,,orson to do his share toward meeting
the cost of this war. The war bills
,nus+ he met by the American public,
and if devolves upon each and every
citizen to help.
$1,000 bond is not enough If you
are able to buy more. 1t should be
horne in mind by everyone that the
financial status of each citizen is known
and he who shirks his responsibility dur
ing the first days of the third Liberty
loan campaign, will not permanently es-
cape. Every American citizen, and
even those persons who are not Ameri-
can citizens but who reside within our
shores. have an equal share i'll America s
part in the war, for every man who is
looking to future of liberty and free
dom. rather than days of serfdom,
should firmly realize that the present
is the hour of hours when the future
of democracy is to be decided. He who
is financially able, yet fails to buy
bonds, is not deserving of the benefits
of free country.

WHY TEACH GERMAN?

Boise Capital News: The Boise G. A
r. post is among the latest to voice
its protest against teaching German IN
the public schools. There are many
patriotic reasons why German should b,
barred from the schools of this country
including the fact that there are still
teachers drawing down American money
who want German continued because of
the opportunity it affords to aid in in
cubating German thought in the youth
full mind. The United States secret
service has uncovered a lot of that
sort of thing We need not refer to
other patriotic reasons, which are wrap
ped up in Germany s outrageous treat
ment OF this country under the guise of
peace-its murderous attacks on a
neutral.
1t is not desirable to teach German
in our schools because of any necessity
of German literature.
Its theology is a fragrant violation of
Christian principles.
Its history is discredited in the
Trietschkean fantasy revealed by the
war.
Its philosophy is discredited by the
Nietzschean theory. which is responsible
for the lust of brute force that has
lured German people to the position of
slave drivers, with mad revel in vice
and malignity
Its scholarship is diseredited by the
writings of Meinscke and LANCE, who
poisoned educational reform at the
source by setting is up as a means for
conquest and world dominion.
Its belles-letters are discredited in the
work of Hauptmann and Sundermann,
whose conception of regeneration and
is confined to German boun-
daries for selfish purposes.
Its economic liturature is discredited
in the writings of Sombart and Nau-
mann, who assert the right of terri
toral acquisition through the sacred
ness of war.
American commerce does not require
the German language, for this country
after the war will not be dependent up
on German industries nor desire to cul- |
tivate them.
There is every reason why the Ger
man language should be eliminated /
from our schools.

CALL TO FIGHTING MEN

Duluth News-Trbune: Do you want
to get into the armyg Do you want
to have a part in this great war! Do
you want to get in quick and go over
without any delay. If you are not with
N the draft age then the way to do this
is easy.
If over 81 or under 81 years of age,
apply to the Canadian recruiting Of
flee. The British accept men of II
or over and up to 40. They take Am
orleans, or those of any nationality, not
foes They waste no time in prelmi-
mares. If man wants to go, he is
taken and sent.
In very few days he is on his way
TO Great Britain. In four months he
is in the fight. All that is needed is
red blood; the wish to get at the Hun.
They do the rest The cry from France
and Great Britain is for men The
United States accepts only those be
tween the ages of IS and 81.
There are literally millions in this
country above that age whose great,
intense longing is to get at the throat
OF the German devil. The way for
them to do this is throguh the Cana

Letter From Harry Meader.
Here is letter Doe Denny recently
received from Harry Meader:
Somewhere in France
February II, 1918.
Dear Friend Doc
Received your letter dated Jan. 3, to-
day and was surely glad to hear from
YOU again and to hear that you were
well. For myself, l don 7 know when
! ever felt better, guess this weather OF
climate agrees with me, but when we
leave here | think it viii be Idaho for
me.
Well Doe we are still on the old job
doing our bit for Sammy The weather
is altogether different these days. 1t
is daylight when we 20 to work ana
the sun is shining when we get through.
Guess we should be satisfied where we
are, for we could be in a worse place,
nevertheless, we wish we were with The
old company regardless of the hard
ships.
Things should begin to get hot in the
trenches before long, | hope it gets too
damned hot for the Germans and they
90 up in smoke.
Have seen one paper since we have
been here and it surely looked good
From the looks of it there must not be
many young fellows left. Is any of our
old bunch there yet2
One of the boys received letter
from Alonzo Brown today, and he SAYS
the boys are feeling fine and no sickness
He also stated they have the best camp
they have been in yet. That to my
notion must be pretty good. Surely
wish ! were with them.
You don t know how hard it is to
write when you can 7 say anything you
wish.
Max and | lay off working today
md washed clothes and shining shoes
30 we are ready for the coming work.
Shining shoes doesn t sound much like
but it has to be done once
IL while or you are reminded about
{ by someone.

HE is FIGHTING FOR YOU.

Pocatello Tribune: There is a purely
personal reason why you are deeply con
cerned i'll the black band that crosses
the map in northern France. Some
where along that deadly maze of trench
es a strong hearted, manly soldier is
fighting for you. Fighting for
you just as truly as if he were attack
ing a desperate in your own home who
was attempting your life. In fact, he
is fighting in your place-offering his
life for your liberty, and that of pos
terity
Visualize him. Get his image fixed
in your mind and his spirit of sacrifice
in your soul. You will then better ap-
preeiate your duty to him and be a
better citizen for it,
He, and each of his comrades, now re-
presents 343 Americans at home, of
whom 100 are men over age p. At the
end of the year when our army is larger
he VIII be fighting for about eighty six
citizens, of whom twenty five will be
men over age 81.
You are one of these citizens Of
whom he is a direct representative on
the battle line Are you loyal to him
What are you doing for him! If he is
man enough to fight for us over there.
we must be men enough to work for
him over here. We want him to have
every thing he needs regardless Of cost,
and this means ships, guns, munitions,
food, clothing, hospitals, and endless
supply of comrades-in-arms Above all.
he must have our moral and financial
support.
If we are worthy of him we will save
for him, sacrifice for him, and give for
him without hesitancy and without
stint. If he can afford to fight for us
on the BATTLEFIELD, we can afford to fight
for him in the grainfield and in every
other field of effort that will aid him.
Keep him in mind. Stand by him. Be
of him. We must share in his
sacrifice if we expect to share in his
victories.

LETTER FROM COTTONWOOD

The Free Press is in receipt of an
anonymous letter from Cottonwood
critcizing an article printed in last
week S issue of this newspaper relative
to the appearance of Cottonwood mer-
chant before the County Council OF
Defense.
The person who wrote this letter de-
clared that, in fact, there was no hear
ing" The article which appeared i'll
the Free Press concerning the hearing
given the Cottonwood merchant consist
ed for the most part of communication
issued by the County Council of De
fense and if the correspondent in Cot
tonwood will publicly make the state
ments which he made through the let
ter and seemed afraid to acknowledge,
we would be willing to wager that the
county council would consider another
hearing at which the anonymous cores
pendent would occupy conspicuous
role.

it will serve to show to the public the
character of support that a newspaper
which stands for genuine Americanism
receives from certain quarters:

To the Editor of Free Press:
Dear Sir: We see by your last issuse
and article concerning J. V. Baker,
merchant of Cottonwood, which said he
had violated the food law and upon his
promise of never violating it again the
case was dismissed after he plead guilty
and several witnesses had been examin-
ed This was a mistake He told of
selling sack of flour with the proper
amount of substitutes that the law re-
CURED at that time. In fact, there was
no hearing. The matter was investigat |
ed before he was called to appear and |
found to be purely grudge by one of
Ihe other merchants and as there was
no ground for hearing the, matter was
dismissed Through justice to Mr.. Bak-
ef we feel that you should correct this

My dear Grandmother;

My dear Grandmother:
1t has been some time since / nave
written you but have been pretty busy
over here and soldier can write too
many letters for he is only allowed a
certain amount of them and then, too
they are censored so | can t tell you a
lot of things that l might tell you if
there was no censorship. But it is bet
ter that person not say anything that
will help the bOche for that is what
we are over here to help get rid of and
we sure are going to do it when they
let us get at them.
am feeling fine and have gained
fifteen pounds since l have landed over
here. | like the country that / am in,
but would rather be in the good old T..
making my time count and seeing all
the country that / can for a person
wouldn t possibly have ever seen the
beautiful country that l have already
seen if ! hadn't come to France. l.
have been in a number Of famous places
and saw a lot of old castles, called
chateaus over here The architecture
is certainly wonderful and person
could study for years on some of the
sculpture that is in France. All the
modern buildings are made of very
strong material, rock aud cement and
they seem to last for years
l am still in the office and have been
very busy the last few days, but like
to be that way for | don t get lonesome
when am busy. The eats are very good
considering and like it fine so there
is no need for worry. Have learned
lot of new things that ] never thought
of before coming to France and if we
get back can tell YOU all about it then
The Free Press and the Globe papers
come here to some of the boys so ! get
to see the news and you know about us.
that is some things are in the paper
that can t write about Mac is away
now and hope to see him in the near
future.
