THINKS THERE WILL BE NO

"There will be no scarcity of labor tc

said A. w. B. Kjosness, county agent
and head of the farm bureau for Latah
county. Mr.. K~josness and his assistants
and associates have been devoting much
time to the labor problem and have been
in communication with all labor centers,
with the result that many men have
been secured for work in this county.
When the fire in the Clearwater dis
trict was extinguished Mr.. Kjosness and
L. F. Parsons, head of the federal labor
bureau here, made a bid for the men
released from fighting fire and brought
a carload of them to Latah county. They
were put to work at once. A number of
men have been secured from Spokane
and other centers and work has been
ofund for all of them. There is still a
strong demand for men for sawinill and

UNIVERSITY SIGNS
NEW ARMY CONTRACT
AGREEMENT WITH WAR DE-
PARTMENT PROVIDES FOR
TRAINING OF SOLDIERS

The agreement between the War De-
partment Committee on Education and
Special Training and the University of
Idaho has been signed and approved.
This agreement covers the two months
period beginning August IS, and calls
for 100 soldiers to be trained in the
same subjects as the present contingent +;
the only change is that 40 men are to be
trained in auto mechanics and 20 in
radio work. This is the reverse of the
present order.
The larger contingent of 200 at least
will arrive October IS. The university
is energetically proceeding with the
necessary building and alterations to pro-
vide in a satisfactory way for the larger
~contingents which will arrive every two
months, beginning with October. By
that time the required building will be
completed and the soldier training will
not in any way interfere with the regular
work of the university during the acade-
mic year. The board of education and
the president have from the first guarded
against any such possibility. This is
done in fairness to the soldier contingent
as we'll as out of consideration for the
interests of the university students. The
smaller c%ontingents of soldiers the Uni
versity of Idaho has agreed to accept
has therefore not only permitted the SOL
diers to receive a very high grade of
instruction, but the regular work of the
University to be both maintained and
strengthened.

SOLDIERS MESS
FUND CROWS SLOWLY
MORE FUNDS NEEDED FOR THIS
WORTHY CAUSE. SMALL
DONATIONS ASKED

There have been but four contributors
to the mess fund for the soldiers at the
university. This fund, issued to buy
%jellies, fruits and other d~elicacies not
provided in the regular army ration. We
are sending large sums to army canton
ments and to France to buy these things
for the soldiers, yet the soldier boys at
our university need them as bad as
do those at a distance.
The Star-Mirror has offered to receive
contributions to this mess fund. 1t will
be needed on August IS. We have but
S3O.5O so far, and this sum came from
four contributors. Three of them gave
$40 each. One gave so cents. 1t is not
desired to work a hardship on any one,
and large contributions are now asked.
Contributions Of 50 cents, 81 or even rs
cents will be thankfully received.
Hagan & Cushing started the fund with
$40; H. Melgard, of the First Trust &
Savings bank gave $40; Mr.. Holland
gave 50 cents. Today Dr.. E. H. Lindley,
president of the university, who thinks
that contributions of SO cents or ST are
large enough and all that should be ask
ed from individuals, set the pace for
this kind of contributions by giving $40
in one-do1lar subscriptions. This makes
a total Of $30.5O. Let us swell this sum
to $3.50 by August IS. That will be only
$3.50 for each of the soldiers who will
be here two months. It is an insignificant
sum. Who will be the next to give to
this fund? The Star-Mirror wants t.
new contributions to it every day.
Let us have a good list for tomorrow's
paper.
