IDAHO HAS A RECORD TO BE
PROUD OF.


PROUD OF.
Idahoans are not inclined
boast, but the record they mad
while their country was actively en-
gagged in hostilities with enemy na
tions will be written into Idaho his
DRY as one of the states PROV
chapters. There was no flinchine
and there will be none in whatever
sacrifices may be called for In the
future
In not one single instance has
this state failed to meet war de-
mands. Its sons to the number of
probably $4,000 entered the service
of their country to make the great
sacrifice II that was necessary to
beat the Huns to their knees. No
longer is 1t too great for those who
kept unstained the fair name OF
their state in the hour OF stress.
1t oversubscribed to the four Liber-
ty bonds issued and will repeat for
the fifth and sixth. II they are need
ed. IT contributed handsomely to
the Red Cross, to the Y. NJ. c. A.,
Y. Nv. c. A., knights OF Columbus.
Salvation Army, Syrian relief and all
other agencies to carry on their war
work. 1t observed the food regula-
tions that those lighting might have
more. In fact 1t did multiple of
patriotic duties for which it claims
no special credit and 1t Will gladly
do again.
While this states past record Is
excellent, those responsible for it
are not to consider their task is end
ed. Far from it. Let Idahoans re-
member there are many readjust-
ments to be made before they can
settle back into the conditions we
call normal. There will still be
sacrifices to be made here and there
as those directing the great work
decide upon. 1t will take time to
equalize and stabilize. Patience
must be shown and a cheerful
willingness to do those things that
are necessary. Because hostilities
have ceased, there should not be a
spirit Of carefree and abandon.
True, there is rejoicing and great
satisfaction that the most cruel en-
envy nations ever faced has been
vanquished and decisively defeated.
Sober thought, qualification in hav-
ing done the task we'll and a clear
conscience of being with Right and
Justice are rewards that all war
workers fully appreciate. In the
meantime let Idahoans remember
that much Is yet to be done and to
be prepared to do those tasks that
are necessary whenever the call
comes The war may be over inso-
far as actual fighting is concerned
but your duties are not.
