Can You Beat 1t?
We Can Repeat 1t!
Neaning. OF Course, That In The
Pending W. s. :. War Drive Twin
Falls County Can Repeat Her GlOr-
i0us Record In Past Drives.

Primarily, this writing is to an
nounce that the drive, or effort to put
on it's feet the campaign for the sale
of war stamps and "baby bonds" in
this county will take place on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, the oath.
18th and 26th of this month.
In the second place it is desired to
announce that a meeting of all work
ers in former drive organizations and
all others interested has been called
at the rooms of the Commercial club
on Wednesday evening of this week,
beginning at eight o'clock sharp, to
perfect the organization and make
plans for the campaign indicated
In the third place, the TIMES of
fers, entirely unsolicited, a few more
or less relevant thoughts of its own
upon the proposed drive and the local
situation. In view of the former, the
latter now offers the supreme test of
the energy, the ability and the alb
sorbing and self denying patriotism
of the people of our community. Five
real drives" have been staged here
two for the Liberty Loan, two Y. M.
c. A. and one Red Cross, and in every
Instance this county far exceeded the
quota assigned to her, actually trebl-
ing it in one of them. Now that an
other chance to give needed financial
aid to our government is at hand, and
with third Liberty Loan in the near
future, does any one think that we
have in the past been too liberal
have done too much?
Surely no one will, after considera-
zion, answer that question affirma-
lively. This is a time when it is not
possible for any loyal citizen to do too
much. In fact, too much is just
enough. The only limit for every man,
woman and child is his or her most
and best. The world-struggle be-
tween the forces of liberty and prog
ress on the one hand and tyranny and
decadence upon the other is now on.

Conserve Food in Homes Pend
President Asked to De-
clare Holidays in Eastern States

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Imme-
date registration of all young men
who have become of age since June 5,
1917, was proposed in a joint resolu=
ton submitted to the senate today by
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
chairman of the senate military af-
fairs committee. The bill was one of
series of new measures backed by
the war department to strengthen
Americas fighting forces. 1t is esti
mated that it would take half mil
lion men to those available for the
draft.
Another bill removes all legal OBJ
stacles to the drafting of men accord
ing to the class in which they are
placed by their answers to the ques-
tionnaires. 1t would also end the
levying of quotas upon the basis of
population, which has caused so much
dissatisfaction in states where the
alien population is large. Instead, it
would apportion the levy upon the
basis of the number of men in Glass l.
Senator Chamberlain submitted to
the senate a copy of a letter from
Secretary Baker endorsing the meas
ure ana urging earliest enactment.
The secretary of war would be Civ
en- additional authority in the granting
of furloughs in another bill, to permit
furloughs to drafted men from farms
during harvest time.
Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska pro-
posed a measure authorizing the pres
ident to strike from the army deser-
ton lists the names of men who de-
serted in peace time. Senator Nc
Kellar of Tennessee fathered a bill
providing severe punishment for mer-
chants and dealers "gouging" Off
GERS and enlisted men. Senator Will
liams of Mississippi offered bill to
issue clothing and equipment to Off
GERS on the same plan followed in the
issue of clothing to enlisted men.
All of the measures were sent to the
senate military affairs committee

use in exterminating predatory wild
animals and to change the federal
food administration ruling to sub
stitute porkless days throughout the
nation in lieu of meatless days.
President I. T. Pryor, in his an
nual address laid particular stress
upon the effect of lifting restrictions
upon consumption of beef, veal, NUT
ton and lamb, and encouraging the
added consumption of mutton and
lamb as a means of conserving the
pork supply sufficiently to meet the
demands of war conditions.
That the United States has not yet
reached its maximum production of
livestock and that prices will be re-
duced in the near future if the change
is made in lifting the ban on beef
mutton and lamb on the present
meatless day plan, were subjects up
on which President Pryor enlightened
the stockmen.
Besides the presidents address the
morning session was taken up with
addresses of welcome by Governor
Simon Bamberger of Utah. Mayor
Mont Ferry of Salt Lake, and NJ K
Parsons, second vice president of the
stockmen's organization.
This afternoon the delegates list
ened to addresses upon the following
subjects: Relation of Federal Gov
eminent to the Producer in the Pres
ent Emergency" Frank ]. Hagen

CARNATIONS to Transportation, Sam

ton; and what a Fair Enforcement

Property Values

You know, folks judge you
and your place by the class
of improvements put up.
Then make that class a
good one-not by putting
up lot of expensive build
ings-but what you do
build-build substantially
and keep them in shape.
Our lumber for barns, sheds, hog
houses, is good-it looks good, too.

Most of them probably will be report
ed favorably within seven days.
1T is the belief of the war depart
ment that all calls in immediate pros
pect can be filled from Glass l" Sec
rotary Baker wrote. Since Glass is
the class of those most available for
military service throughout the en-
tire United States the equity and JUS
tice of apportioning quotas to- the va
rious states in proportion to the num-
Der of men in Glass l seems to need
no argument"
Another bill would exempt govern
ment automobiles from the war tax in
the recently enacted revenue bill. An
other would suspend the tariff on war
materials when the duty would have
to be paid out of departmental funds.
Drastic penalties were provided in
another measure for any person buy
ing army or navy goods from Off
GERS and enlisted men.
Authority would be extended to the
secretary of war to issue buttons or
badges to men exempted or rejected
from military service under the pro-
visions of another bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The food
administration new sweeping meas
ure to carry compulsory conservation
into every kitchen in the country was
introduced in both houses of congress
this afternoon. Senator Pomerene of
Ohio introduced it in the senate and
Representative Lever of South Caro-
lima in the house.
The POmerene-Lever bill gives au-
thority to the president to be exercis-
ed through the food administration to
impose any restrictions necessary to
conserve food upon any group of per-
sons or individuals. His powers in
this respect would be practically I'M
limited and the most drastic penalties
are provided to carry them into eff
feet.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-President
Wilson will be asked by the fuel ad-
ministrators of New York state and
Massachusetts to declare Monday of
each week a legal holiday until furth-
er notice in the new England states,
New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware
and Maryland until the coal problem
is solved, it was learned today. This
decision was reached here last at a
meeting of the fuel administrators of
Massachusetts and New York. BY this
plan, it was said, 250,000 tons of coal
would be saved weekly

SANTA TO VISIT ALL
u. S. TROOPS AND TARS
Red Gross Completes Plans
for Christmas Work.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.--Every Ameri-
can soldier and sailor, whether at the
battle front in France or in training
camp at home, on ships at sea or sta
toned ashore, is to have Christmas
remembrance from home" Red Cross
officials have just completed plans for
the Christmas cheer and arrangements
will be worked out Immediately.
Red Cross chapters nearest the thirty
two army camps and cantonments VIII
probably arrange in their towns COM
munity Christmas trees with carols,
pageants and holiday movies to which
the men in training will be invited.
For the men in France the Red Cross
will see that every soldier has his
Christmas package, with its message OF
good will. There will be surprises in
every package. but all are likely to con-
tain writing paper. pipes. TOBACCO, cigars
and cigarettes and other articles.
The work OF finishing Christmas allot-
ments Of comfort bags is going on
rapidly. Most OF them are made OF
khaki and are furnished with extra pairs
Of wooilen socks, needles. pins, thread
and buttons. Detailed suggestions OF
how to wrap these Christmas packages
for shipping will be issued by the Red
Cross, which will welcome cooperation.
Gifts will be bought from contributions
especially given for the Christmas greet
ing. The Red Cross war fund will not
be used for that purpose.
