MORE SOLDIERS

Many boys contemplating the taking
up of the government plan of buying
farms are thus offered opportunity to
get a touch of farm life, and judge
whether they would like to take up and

according to Mrs. Ware.
The lack of opportunities in industrial
and business pursuits is turning more

To The News scimitar:
AS there has been much criticism
regarding the position taken by the
Rev, Ben Cox in the Schoultz case, l
wish to ask for a little space in your
valuable paper for the purpose Of APP
pealing to the public, especially to the
Christians, not to be too hasty In
passing final Judgment on anyone. but
to be patient and charitable, as we are
~admonished to do by the Book of All
Books.
DIR, Cox states that he believes It Is
a case OF mistaken identity. which Is
possible II we consider the testimony
OF several witnesses for the defense.
One lady said she was insulted the
second time by a man who looked very
much like Schoultz, though she said at
that time he was In jail, One or two
others were not positive in their iden-
tifications, These witnesses were not
impeached.
Remember that sometimes jurles
make mistakes, that their verdicts are
sometimes reversed IN acoount Ut the
testimony not being sufficient to JUS
tify a conviction, the case remanded
for another trial, and the next jury
will see II from n different standpoint
and vote unanimously for an acquittal.
So let us accord to everyone, including
the ministers of the gospel, the sacred.

FIND WORK FOR SOLDIERS
AND PRESERVE HISTORY

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. II (by Associ-
ated Press). Matters which have
most recently engaged the attention
of the State Council of Defense" says
Chairman Joseph T. Pence, ''are de-
mobilization, Americanization and the
preparation of Idaho's war history.
The council has turned it's machin-
cry over to the director of the United
States employment service to aid in
finding work for returned soldiers and
sailors.
The present session of the legis-
lature will enact laws for the educa-
ton OF aliens. In this way the duties
of the council in this respect will be
brought to close.
Perhaps the most important work
left for the council is the preparation
of 1daho's war history. There is no
organization whose qualifications
were so great during the war, none
that came in such close contact with
the whole people of the state in their
various activities as the State Coun-
Gil Of Defense. The history of these
activities must be preserved, and that
work falls to the lot of the State
Council of Defense.

IDLE MEN ARE
NOW IN EAST


Harry l. O'Neill is in receipt OF a
letter from his brother, Frank j
O'Neill member of the Twenty-sec'
ond machine gun battalion, stationed
at Camp Lee, Virginia, in which he
depicts the labor conditions in the
east and the feeling of the discharged
soldiers, as follows:
''If they would only wake up in
Washington, D. c., and pass a Dill
whereby the sailors and soldiers
would get at least a months pay as
bonus, it would help out lot, as there
are hundreds of thousands being
turned out of the army without dime
in their pockets and it is causing lots
of discomfort among sailors and SOL
diers here in the east. Every other
country did something for it's dis
discharged men. -|
"All of the big men in the east say
they are letting the boys out of the
service too fast and flooding the labor
market. You can't blame the fellows
for wanting to be discharged, but
they have to take on any kind of work
to make a few dollars. A. number
if the big cities in the east have sent
word to the War Department warning
the men coming to those cities, say
ing that there are thousands of idle
men around"
Frank also stated that if everything
went well he would be back in Camp
Lewis in about ten days and hoped to

He will likely return to Cordova. :
NEVADA WOMEN WORKERS
TO BE ELIMINATED

RENO, New, Feb. IL (by Associated
Press) The" time" woman prom
ises to maintain her place In Nevada
despite the fact that the end of hos
tilities is in sight In Reno restaurants
and cafes were forced by necessity
to employ young women to wait on
tables and lunch counters and man
ayers announced that many of them
will be retained.
In the Southern Pacific Company
shops at Sparks about fifty women
have been employed since the first
draft. These women will be retained
in case they wish to stay under
changed conditions, company officials
state. They indicate that "chonged
conditions means that the wages OF
the women will be cut to such an ex-
tent that they probably will seek
lighter and more suitable work.
During the preceding summer
women and girls were employed quite
freely on farms all over the state. 1t
was common sight to see majority
of the harvest hands in the large fields
composed of women. Women oper-
ated gang-plows and harvesters, and
did most Of the work in putting in
crops and cutting hay and grain.
With the return of the harvest sea-
son next year it is likely, however,
that few women will be seen in the
various vocations attached to ranch
ing.
Women undoubtedly will be re-
tanned in capacities as clerks by many
of the larger corporations, more par
ticularly the railroad and express COM
panies.
Wages paid to women who per-
formed the work of men were prac-
tically the same as given the men
whom they superseded.
