Month Of Harvest Moon.

Aside from the autumnal equinox,
September each year is marked by an
other astronomical event of considera-
hle interest, namely, the So-called har-
vest moon it being the full moon near
est the autumnal equinox. The harry.
est moon rises at nearly the same time
for several successive evenings In
stead of nearly an hour later from
night to night, as is usually the case,
and it Is from this continuous run Of
bright moonlight nights that this
moon is said to derive its name, farm

FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN WILL BEGIN
SEPTEMBER 28TH

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan begins September rs and
closes October 49, While the amount
mas not yet been announced, ii Is
generally conceded it will be for a
larger amount than any of the pre-
ceding loans. The American people,
therefore. are called upon to raise
a larger sum of money in shorter
length of time than ever before.
There is need, therefore, for prompt
action prompt and efficient work
and prompt and liberal subscrip-
tons
We have a great inspiration for a
great effort The news from the bait
tie front inspires every American
heart, not only with pride and patri-
otism but with a great incentive to
do his or her part There is no shirk-
ing, no shifting of the individual
burden, no selfishness by American
soldiers in France; there should be
none here, We are both supporting
the same country and tba same
cause our Army in one way, our
selves in another Theirs is the
hadred part, but at least we can do
our part as promptly and loyalty
and efficiently as they do theirs.

POLES DRIVEN TO
germany TO WORK

+. G. Wacott member of the
United States food administration, and
during the time America was feeding
the civilian populations of Belgium,
Serbia and northern France an assist
amt of Mr. Hoover in these invaded
eountrics, has pictured in a graphic
way the conditions he found among
the people it was his duty to help.
After describing the terrible condi-
tions in Poland in 1916, the millions
that We're dying of starvation, the
hundreds of thousands of defenseless
people that had been ruthlessly cut
down by the sword of the German con-
qneror, he says:
In that situation, the German COM
mander issued a proclamation. Every
able-bodied Pole was hidden to Ger
many to work. If any refused, let no
other Pole give him to eat, not so
much MS mouthful under penalty of
German military law
This Is ihe choice the German gov
ernment gives to the conquered Pole,
to the husband and father of a starv-
ing family: Leave your family or die
or survive as the case may be. Leave
your cou TRY which is destroyed, to
work in Germany for its further de-
struction. If you are obstinate, we
shall see that you surely starve.
Staying with his folk, he is doomed
and they are not saved the father and
husband can do nothing for them, he
only ADDS to their risk and suffering
Leaving them, he will be cut off from
his family, they may never hear from
him again nor he from them. Geg-
many will set him to work that a Ger
man workman may be released 60 fight
against his own land and people. He
shall be lodged in barracks, behind
barbed wire entanglements, under
armed guard. He shall sleep on the
bare ground with single thin blan-
ket He shall be scantily fed and his
earnings shall be taken from him to
pay for his food.
That is the choice which the Ger
man government offers to proud,
sensitive, higlrstrung people. Death
or slavery.
When a Pole gave me that proclama-
ton, | was boiling But | had to re

Schools to Open Sept. 16.

The Mountain Home schools will

All pupils who anticipate attending
the Mountain Home schools during
the coming year should present
themselves at the school building
Monday morning September 16 at

will begin at 800 o'clock 1t is
essential that all Mountain Home
boys and girls will attend school this
year should begin with the opening
Of school, No extra classes can be
organized for those who enter late.
Late entrance or frequent absence
from school will be great handicap
to success in school for the year.
Parents who have children who
are entering school for the first time
and who accompany them to the
school building will kindly take them
to room 6. first floor of the school
building. First grade pupils who
have had some schooling will as
semble in room 4 Second grade
pupils will assemble in room 3.
Third grade pupils in room 5; fourth
grade pupils in room 8; fifth grade
pupils in room IL; sixth grade pu-
pills in room 10; seventh grade pu-
pills in room II; and eighth grade
pupils in room Is. All high school
students will assemble in the study
hall for registration.
One of the essentials to good
teaching is morale in the teaching
corps. Nothing is more depressing
to teachers in a strange community
than unsatisfactory living conditions.
TO do good work and be an inspira-
tion to children teachers must be
happy and contented. 1t is sincerely
hoped that those who have homes in
our community will give this matter
some immediate consideration Any
who will accommodate teachers with
room or board or both room and
board are very kindly requested to
notify the Office Of the superintendent
at the school building at once. "

quarter Glass / men begin to be
available by October /? Because by
October l, at the present rate of dis
patching troops to Europe, our can
tonments will be depleted, and by the
process of retilling their places, the
Glass l men obtained by the 1918
classification will have been entirely
used up. 1t will, therefore, be nee
essary to call more Class | men to
camp. In order to obtain more Glass
/ men we must proceed to this new
registration. AS soon as the whole
number has been registered, the clas-
sification will begin and quota will
be called each month, beginning in
October, to fill the places in the camps
of those who are departing to join
the boys over there.
Therefore, the registration had to
take place not later than the middle
of September, in order that the first
installment of the new Glass / men
may be ready by October
Read carefully the ideas and sug-
gestions and to newspaper publishers,
and let us all cooperate to the limit
to make this 18-45 Registration Day
the most noteworthy day in all our
history to help Win the War quickly.
The material, cards, blanks and in
structions, for the great registration
next Thursday, was received by the
Elmore county local board the latter
part of last week, and since that time
they have been busy making prepara-

c. F. SOCIETY HOLDS
ANNUAL Session

The Endeavor convention which
closed last Sunday evening at the
Congregational church in this city
was one of the Most successful as to
numbers and interest in the history
of its annual conventions.
The school of methods and the
evangelistic note were leading feat
ures. Miss Whipple, president of the
Oregon c. e. Union, was a great help.
AS a social feature and relaxation
from the stress of business, the auto
ride Saturday from five to six and
the picnic on the church lawn, were
very much enjoyed. Thirteen cars
were furnished by the Mountain
Home people, and an abundance of
provisions Delegates were heard to
remark that they wondered how the
local society could do so much The
answer is that the local people re-
sponded. The large number of dele
gates were easily entertained.
The children's pageant Sunday af-
ternoon was the most largely attend
ed sessions of the convention, and re-
ceived much praise. Many of the
delegates took kodak pictures of the
children in costume.
Among the resolutions passed were
the following;
"That we extend our most sincere
thanks to the Mountain Home people
for their splendid hospitality and
good will.
THAT as Societies we make c. q.
Pledge of supmere importance.
THAT as c. L. members we this
year personally invite every friend
or associate who has not already ac-
cepted Christ publicly to do so"
The principal officers we're reflect
ew for the ensuing year, viz Rev..
J. E. Ingham, president; Elsie
Schmid. secretary; Sarah Bolger,
secretary These with other officers
were installed Sunday evening.
The Mountain Home Endeavor So
ciety extends most hearty thanks to
all who assisted in entertaining, use
of automobiles, food for the picnic,
children for the pageant, or other
help

FOOD RULES ARE
Being EASED UP
Big Harvest Helps to Fur
nish Supplies in Greater
Quantity to Allies and at
Home.

Worth s. Lee, county food admin
strator, has furnished the Republi-
can with the following new food
rules, promulgated last week by Mr..
Hoover.
THE recent careful survey by the
Food Administrators of the United
States. France. England and Italy OF
the food resources OF the 220, 600 900
people fighting against Germany
shows that to maintain enough sup
plies and necessary reserves against
disaster there must be maintained
in all countries conservation OF
wheat -four during the coming year
1T has been agreed that the wheat
bread of the Allies shall contain 90
per cent other grains than wheat
and 1t is only just that we should
bear our share In this saving and
our bread should be at least universal
with those who are suffering more
greatly from the war than ourselves.
Distribution and transportation cir
cumstances in the United States rem
der II necessary to rely largely on
voluntary action in our homes to en-
force this mixture
THE Victory bread so made Is
wholesome and there is no difficulty
in preparation. We desire to empha-
size the fact that mixtures outlined
below are for wheat bread and the
saving of wheat -four. but they are
not intended to displace the large
use OF corn bread. We must use the
mixtures with wheat fiours in addi-
tion to our normal consumption of
corn bread
For this purpose regulations are
formulated below effective Septem-
