Yet all the reports show that the boys have gone
into this terrible work with the spirit that they
would throw themselves into game cheerful, deter
mined and willing to make any sacrifices that the
may win.
We know little nothing of what the boys are
going thru, and what called to do here at

AN AUGUST CONCEPTION

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet and essayist writing
some rs years ago, said:
1.-THE possible destiny of the United States of America
Nation of hundred million of free men, stretch
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific, living under the
laws of Alfred and speaking the language of Shakespeare
and Milton, is august conception"
The United States is Nation of hundred
million and stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and reaching out west takes in Hawaii and the
Philippines in the north Alaska in the south the

greatness. It's fairness and justice its courage and

TO OFFER
HAY TO FARMERS
LINCOLN AND ADJOIN IN G
COUNTIES SEEKING MARKET
FOL 100000 TONS

The threatened hay shortage IN
northern Idaho, which was causing
much uneasiness and which had al
ready caused some farmers to sacrl-
flee cattle for fear of not having feed
for them next winter, will probably
be averted. Today Dean Iddings, OF
the University Of Idaho agricultural
college, received telephone call from
County Agent Avery, OF Lincoln
county, stating that he will be here
in few days to try to find market
for 100000 tons of hay grown by the
farmers of four counties, OF which
Lincoln is one.
Mr.. Avery says that section has an
enormous crop of hay and no I'M
mediate market for it. He will make
a tour of northern Idaho and try TO
find a market for the hay. He says
they can furnish 100000 tons of first
class hay and he asks the coopera-
tion of the farm bureau, county
agents and agricultural college IN try
ing to place this with the farmers
who are long on stock and short on
hay, with the idea of saving middle
mems profits, the plan being to nave
the farmers of those counties sell hay
directly to the consumers of north
Idaho where the hay crop is the short
est in many years.

DITIONS CAUSING THIS

BOISE-Effectlv November ISL,

use will be increased from two pounds
per person per month to three pounds
per person per month and the same
ratio of allowance will be made to

announcement made Thursday nlght
by Federal Food Administrator K. +.
Bicknell In connection with the IN
creased allowance the United States
Food Administration authorized Ad-
ministrator Bicknell to make the fol
lowing statement:
NThe rapid manufacture of the new
crop beet sugar in the west and the
new crop Louisiana cane sugar IN the
south together with the freer railway
transportation conditions, the. reduc-
tions that we have made in the con-
sumption of sugar in the manufactul'-
ing trades and the patriotic conser-
walton in the past four months enable
us toeincrease the household allowance
of sugar from two pounds per person
per month to three pounds per person
per month, with the same ratio to
public eating places as from the first
November.
'This makes good our promise to
increase the household allowance OF
sugar at the earliest possible mo-
ment that our supplies would Justify
and make it possible for the house
holfder to more freely use the cram
berry, apple and grape fruit products
and use the fruits canned during the
summer without sugar. The regu-
lations are also revised to the extent
that any person may purchase his
whole monthly allowance at one time
if he so desires. That is, any family
may purchase months supply for
the entire family in one purchase
from the retail stores.
Consumers in Idaho have been Civ

purchase a months supply Of sugar
for the entire family in one purchase.
that with an allowance of three
pounds per person per month all fam
lies that are to any degree practic-
ing conservation are now restored to

County Food Administrator H. D.
Martin announces that from this date
no more permits will be issued for
sugar for canning, and only the al
lowance of three pounds per person
per month can be sold. He again asks
that every merchant in Latah county

.BORAH SAYS He
MADE NO PLEDGE
UNITED STATES SENATOR
DENIES HE HAS PROMISED
TO VOTE FOR SUFFRAGE

The newspapers of Idaho have beer
flooded with circular letters from Miss
Alice Paul, head of the wornan's party
in which Miss Paul states that Senator
Borah had pledged his vote for woman
suffrage. Some of the newspapers sfel
for" this and printed the story. Nov
Senator Borah, in telegram to a Boise
woman, says positively that he made nc
such pledge and stands on his record
which is we'll known as being agains
the national woman suffrage amendment
The following story of the affair was
published in the Boise Statesman Of
Wednesday
Il have made no promise or pledge tc
anyone. I am going to the polls on my
record. .'-Borah.
"The Idaho branch of the National
Womans party will at once commence
an active campaign against the re-elec-
ton of Senator w E. Borah. This de-
cision was reached Tuesday upon the
receipt of the following telegram from
the senator to Mrs. A. W. Pride OF
Boise in acknowledgment of one sent by
her congratulating him en- his supposed
change Of stand relative to the suffrage
amendment: I have made no promise
or pledge to any one. I am going to the
polls on my record Borah.'
'sMost Amazing" Says Leader.
eThis reply in the face of the statement
made by Senator Borah to Miss Alice
Paul, head Of the woman's party, Just a
few days ago, is most amazing, said Miss
Margaret Wiiitteinore, the acting head
Of The party in Idaho. Mrs. Pride wired
Senator Borah about 10 days ago, say
ing that she much desired to know how
he intended to vote on the national suit
frage amendment after election, remind
ing him that since the president had
urged its. passage, the situation had ma.
teria11y changed. Senator Boral1 wired
her that he had contemplated making
a statement to the women of Idaho which
he felt would be satisfactory to those
who believed in the national suffrage
amendment and then gave various rea-
sons for postponing the announcement.
Throws Cold Water.
tssThe same message regarding his I'M
pending Endorsement was received s1mul-
taneously by at least six other persons.
When Miss Paul's telegram regarding
Senator Borah's statement, that If elected
on the platform of the Idaho republican
party he would then feel pledged to vote
for the amendment regardless Of his per
sonal views was received in Boise, Mrs
Pride wired, congratulating him on his
stand, and the senator's reply was the
telegram above quoted.
Nothing to Do But Fight.
"This leaves us nothing else to do but
fight him. said Miss Whittemore:. 'Ru-
mors to the contrary notwithstanding, the
wornan's party has up to this time made
no campaign against the senator for the
verv reason that we had an intimation
that Senator Borah was going to make
the statement which he did to Miss Paul,
and we were told to hold off. Now that !,
he has repudiated this statement we shall
start in at once and wage lively fight
against him, even if time is exceedingly
short"

ANOTHER INFLUENZA VICTIM
MAKES SIX DEATHS IN MOSCOW

Another death, the sixth to occur in
Moscow from influenza, occurred last
night when Lafayette Marsing of Clay
tonia, near Caldwell, Idaho, died at
local hospital. He had been in a serious
condition for several days and his death
was not unexpected. His father, H. P.
Marsing, is enroute to Moscow, when
funeral arrangements will be made. The
young man was member of class B of
the S. A. /. c., and is the third member
of that class of 800 to succumb to the
disease. Two members of class A have
died and one soldier, whose home was
in Moscow, but who was taken i'll at an
army camp in California and sent home.
He died after his arrival here
Only three new cases are reported in
the S. A. T. C. today, and two have been
released as cured. The situation is re-
garded as much better, but still requires
care. President Lindley, of the Univer-
sity of Idaho, said: while the situa-
ton is encouraging, the danger point is
not passed We are maintaining a strict
quarantine on the girls, with the result
that none of them have had the disease.
A woman, whose daughter is quarantined
here, came to Moscow to see her daugh-
ter and has written that she considers
the young lady much better off here than
almost any other place. The girls are
given an opportunity to study and are
going on with their work, but are being
closely quarantined in Ridenbaugh hall
and there has not been case of influ-
e1lza among the girl students
There are two students that are quite
i'll in one of the hospitals and their con-
dition is causing alarm, but hope has not
been given up in either case.
The convalescents quartered in the
Elks' Club building are getting along
nicely. and most of them will soon return
to their work.
& Dr.. Rae, county health officer, is con-
sidering forbidding special sales days in
the stores, as it is feared that the draw
ing of many persons i'll a store might
cause spread Of the disease.
