In money HOLSTER subscribed $1,000
to the first Liberty Loan and $11, 900
to the second; $1,000 to the Red Cross
and $3.50 to the Y. M. G. A. There
were raised and shipped 225,000 bush
els of wheat, 5000 tons of hay and 10
cars of potatoes from this new sec
ton.
HOLSTER has also been active in all
lines of Red Cross work.
Kimberly and Filler
No report was received from these
two busy towns, hence no figures can
be given. Filler is the neighboring
town on the west and Kimberly the
neighbOring town on the east of Twin
Falls. Both have been almost up
to their ears" in work. They have
contributed as generously as any
town or community on the project to
all branches of war service, to the
Liberty Loans, Red Cross, Y. M c.
A., and in the work in all these
branches. Not a drive nor a cam
paign of any kind has been waged
that these two communities were not
in the front ranks.
With these should be included such
communities as Castleford, Curry,
Berger and others on the project
ROgersOn
Lying close to the foothills in the
southern part of the Salmon River
project, south of Twin Falls, is the
town of Rogerson, which has been
quietly turning out men, money, food
and labor for Uncle Sam. A dozen OF
more men have enlisted from the com
munity for war service.
When the first Liberty Loan was
announced, Rogerson subscribed S476
and to the second S19,350; to the Rec
Cross, $4,000; to the Y. M. c. A, 5000

we're from Twin Falls county. the
others from surrounding counties. AL
though Jealous efforts have been made

about 300 and perhaps more.

for three weeks during the harvesting
of the fruit crop and students and
teachers went into the orchards and
packing houses, many of them earn
ing $4 and So per day.
In this time of war Twin Falls is
also preparing for peace and the
building campaign seems not to have
been retarded in any way by war
times.

On later voyages they may go to the

to accumulate reserves against a pos

announcement Of peace, and a grand
scramble OF the four-year hunger for

1t was explained at the food admin

would think of filling German order

ton and getting its sanction; and. in
the second place, even If any dealer
could be found who would consent to
do business with the recent foe at this
time. without practically a mandate
from the government to do so, the pur-
chasers could never get pound of
stuff out of the country without a
license from the War Trade Board.
1t in not considered that Germany
would have any great trouble in fnanc-
ing the purchase Of foodstuffs in the
United States, as the funds in the

House Committee
Insists on HEAVY
Cut II, Navy Bill
X RepresentativeButlerL Leads
Fight to Have Govern
ments 8 Expenses Shorn

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.--Readjust-
mens or departmental appropriations
from war to a peace basis was begun
to-day by Congress. Tho House Naval
Committee took up revision Of the
naval bill for the next fiscal year. and
members were insistent that expendi-
lures be held to the lowest possible
minimum consistent with effective op-
Grafton and upbuilding Of the navy.
AS recommended by the Navy De-
partment, the bill carries total Of ST.
44o,0oo,o 900, the estimates being made in
the belief that the war would continue
through next year. Rear Admiral
Earle, chief of tho ordnance bureau,
who was before the committee, said the
department. now is revising its esti-
mates, and his bureau alone had elm
mated moro than half Of the s40O, O,00O,-
900 calculated as necessary next year
under war conditions
Whem asked whether Henry Ford
would loss money if the contract were
cancelled, Admiral Earle said Mr.. Ford
received no profit for the work. The
plant, he said, was financed by the
Navy Department.
Admiral Earle also revealed that
since hostiIties ceased the ordnance
bureau has cancelled contracts amount
ing to $421 1855, 900, practically half Of
the amount appropriated for the bu-
renu since the war began
Representa- tive Butler, of Pennsylva-
MIA, ranking Republican member Of the
committee, who is expected to become
chairman Of the committee in the next
Congress, led in demanding downward
revision, but other members also in
sisted that, now that hostilities have
ceased, government expenses must be
held down sharply.
Mr- Butler criticized Admiral Earle's
request for s53.o00,0o0 for ordnance
and ordnance stores next year, saying
It was greater than the amount appro-
priated in war time He also voiced
ch3ertions to the completion Of the 112
eaglebonts at the Ford plant at Detroit.

the size or time of fotation of future
bond issues necessary to cover the re-
manning expenditures growing out of
the war, but added it was entirely clear
that 'the moment had come when the
interests of the government and the
country would be best served by the
issue of bonds of short maturities, and
that that would be the policy Of the
Treasury"
Interest Rate May Change
Short term bonds, Treasury officials
feel, would be bought more rapidly
than those Of longer maturity. Pre-
vious Liberty loan issues range be-
tween ten and thirty years.
Whether short term bonds might be
sold at the interest rate of AZ Der
cent set for the past two Liberty loans,
or the rate might be increased, re-
mains for future determination.
Existing war obligations mature as
follows:
First Liberty loan, $4,000 900 900, re-
ury after 1882 and payable not later
than 1947; second Liberty loan, s3,-
808, ,000, 900, redeemable after 1927, pay
able in 1912; third Liberty loan, 81
176, 100000, redeemable and payable
without option in 1928; fourth Liberty
loan, $3.50, ,O47 900, redeemable after
1888, payable in 1888; War Savings,
$685. ,O0G up to the present, payable
in 1928
With this programme Of maturity the
Treasury by exercising its option can
call in the nations war debt for re-
demption in instalments every five
years until 1888.
