THIS IDAHO PUBLISHER
 CAN'T BE INTIMIDATED

BLACKFOOT, Idaho, --As a result of the publication by Byrd Ire go of the Blackfoot Republican, a front-page story to the effect that about $2O,000 of the county's money had disappeared, quite bit of excite. ment has been created here.
 An attempt was made few days Inter bs certain parties to burn tn. Republican building, one of the finest newspaper offices in the West, but the would-be fire-bugs failed to complete heir job, being scared away before they had touched a match to some ker- osene they had spilled through a side door, a bottle of kerosene and one of gasoline being found after they had disappeared
 It is reported that the parties who attempted to destroy the Republican office are known. but that Editor Ire go generously declined to prosecute However, two people who had made threats against him have been requir- ed to file bonds to insure their good behavior. Editor Trego has demon. strated that he has the courage to publish news, no matter who may be hurt, and that he cannot be bluffed in any manner.

BOYS UNDER 21 IN U. s.
 MARINE CORPS MAKE UP
 ONE-THIRD OF FORCE

Secretary Daniels authorizes the following:
 Figures just made public by the Ma rine Corps show that since our en- trance into the war the corps has en- listed 13,826 recruits under 21 years of age, representing 30 per cent of the enlistments during the period.
 The policy of the Marine Corps in admitting boys of IS years and. over into the ranks is more than justified, officers claim, by the heroic fighting ty the marines at Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood, the showing they have made in their sector of the Marine line since that time, and the youth. fulness Of many of the marines who have been decorated and cited in France.
 While it was known that many boys under 21 were serving with the sea. soldiers. the statement that they az. gregated nearly one-third Of the en- listments was surprise even to Ma. rine officers themselves.

ALASKA GIRLS
 ARE PATRIOTIC
Spend Summer Vacation in Over. alls Helping Cannerymen Put up Food Supply
 of the Nation

One hears much of the farmerette, the elevator girls. the girls who work in the machine shops, the yeomanettes and all the other girls who are taking the places of men and releasing them for war service. but as yet. no one has said much about the Alaska girl, who donned overalls and went marching bravely down to the waterfront to the canneries and is helping the distract cd cannerymen put up his pack.
 Nearly all of the local canneries in ketchikan are employing girls in some capacity or other, some labelling, some feeding machines and doing the hun dreds of odd jobs that do not require much physical effort but are as neces- sary as the catching of the fish. Can nerymen say they wish they could get hundreds and maybe then they could put up the fish. One prominent SUD- erintendent stated yesterday that pro- vided he could get the help he could put up a thousand more cases a day than he is doing at present.
 The girls say they don't mind the work and they do like the pay, which ia forty cents an hour. and besides they work willingly knowing that they are doing as patriotic work as making munitions for they are part of the vast food army of the United States, and are the mainstay of the man behind the gun
 Our hats are of to the Alaska can nery girls!

The Committee on Public Informa- tion issues the following:
 Mrs. Wilson permits publication of the following letter as illustra- tive of the view point of the moth CTS of France:
 Madame Woodrow Wilson,
 Washington, D. c.
 Madame: It is from the mothers and women of France that I send you these words to prove our grat- itude for the comforting and broth erly support that these young Amer jeans bring us with such noble en- thusiasm, who are not afraid of leaving their families, their country, and their hopes to come tc our res cue. Alas! myself have given my beloved son to my unhappy and cruelty tried country, and I can un- derstand the pain of those who see their sons go so far, so very far away. Tell them, those mothers, those women with the sublime hearts, how near we are to them in thought, and how moved we are at their sacrifice. They are our sis ters through suffering and agontz- ing worries and we are brought to- gether through the same sorrow. That we will never forget. It would make me happy, Madame, to cor respond with some of these mothers, if they will send me a few lines.
 Very respectfully. Madame. I salute you.

COST OF OPERATING AIR MAIL ABOUT
 FIFTY CENTS MILE

The Post Office Department author izes the following:
 The first report of the comparative cost of the operation and maintenance of the Air Mail Service shows that the airplanes used in this service have broken all records for economy of gas consumption.
 The total of all operating expenses of nine airplanes covering flights az gregating 7,234 miles, was $3;682. The total consumption of gas representing 113 hours and minutes of flying was 1,377 gallons, which is $32.50 per hour-something over 50 cents per mile. The total cost of gas was $4O5 flying 7,234 miles.
 The best perforance in flying was made by Curtis UNA machine, which flew 26 hours and 40 minutes at cost of $2S01 an ho-- and covered 1,719 miles at cost of 43 1-2 cents per mile A plane equipped with Hispano Suiza l50 horsepower engine used apprOxl- mately 8 gallons of gas per hour, and a plane equipped with 400-horsepow TT Liberty motor used IT gallons per hour This shows 40 per cent less gas consumed than generally required for airp,ane engines of those sizes.
 The calculation of operating cost in cludes departmental overhead charg- es, interest on investment, replace ment of parts, deadhead time of me- chanics, gas, lubricating oils, office force, motor cycles and trucks; rent fuel, light, and telephone; pay of pi- lots, hangar men and mechanics.
 The average consumption of gas for the uine planes was 12 gallons per hour
