The Prospect for giving Twin Falls
a plant for the wonderful new deny
drafting process, by which fruit, vege-
tables and even meats can net only
be indefinitely preserved in natural
flavor, but many times reduced in
bulk, appears to be quite clear. Mr..
Reed, who is managing the expert
mental unit of this plant, now being
operated in the Herriott building, will
doubtless organize a company for this
purpose during the present week. If
so, it is certain to become an exceed
ingly valuable asset to the city and
community

Books for Boys
Being Collected
Statement Issued by Library Concern
ing Drive Now Being Conducted
Throughout Nation

Relative to the nationwide cam
paign for books for boys in the
trenches, now being conducted, the
Twin Falls public library has issued
the following statement:
During the week beginning March
is, a nationwide drive is being con-
Quoted to secure at least two mil
lion volumes, and this campaign will
be continued indefinitely, to assure a
steady flow of books into the receiv-
ing stations as long as the war lasts.
The Libraries of the whole country
have rallied to this work, and all that
is necessary to get the books prompt
ly into the hands of our men, is to
take them to the Public Library, or
to ask the librarian to send for them.
AS to the class of books used it is
astonishing how great the demand is
| for technical books-books dealing di-
rectly or indirectly with some phase
of military science; and how much
of the reading is done for purpose
not merely to pass away the time
In the average public library the de-
mand for fiction is about sixty pei
cent; in the camp libraries it is less
than half.
The demand is for all kinds Of
books. The boys who are away from
home want much the same kind Of
reading as the boys at home. Con.
slider this in making your selection
to send away. But do not fail to dc
your part and bring books of fiction
history, biography, and poetry to thu
public library during the next week
Cut out this coupon and send it t
the public library and your books
will be called for:

1000 NURSES NEEDED

Save a nurse for the wounded!'
 Don't be selfish to youre sick neigh borsr
 Don't leave an expectant mother with out essential nursing care! Ga The slogans are to be used in every community by Red Cross speakers in the nurses drive now under way. The pur- pose is to bring home to the public the importance to the nation of employing graduate nurses in private homes only when their services are essential to saw ing life. 4
 The army and navy have already drawn from the private civilian practice more than M,0O0 nurses, some 10000 of which were Red Cross nurses. assigned them under the terms of their enrolment by the Red Cross to active duty in the army or navy nurse corps.
 More than 10000 additional graduate nurses must rally to the colors within the next few months in order that no wounded soldier or sailor may lack for anything that skilled nurses ca contrib ute to his recovery or restoration to the fighting line. One thousand nurses IS the gulf division quota.
 When this army of. nurses is in mili- tary uniform. every remaining private nurse, hospital nurse and public health nurse will be needed to help the sick in many, places. At the same time the only way to assure those very sick or recov- ering from surgical operation shall have essential nursing is for the public to help each nurse to serve several pa tients at time In hospitals each nurse ministers to number of sick, the visiting nurses going from home to home, can give absolutely essential att lltertion to R anumber .-of sfamiliess 10 moHopolize the time .ofpd graduate nurse to care for one patient who is not dan gerously. ill, is to, deprives many sick Of

PATRIOTIC LABOR ~DAYa

2" The Birmingham Trades Council has, adopted the idea to make Labor Days an occasion of record production rather than enc of pleasure and merrymaking, which IS taking hold of patriotic work men everywhere This idea was first suggested by The Weekly Call, and so popular has it become that it is now being adopted all over the United States. Members of labor unions in the various cities are declining a holiday on Labor Day, and will give their en- tire days pay to the American Fed Cross This method of celebration of the national labor holiday is being rec commended by all unions. The laboring men will. in addition, urge their em- .ployers to contribute the profits Of the day to the Red Cross
