LOCAL "Y'S" AID
 RETURNING MEN
Over 5000 Doughboys Cared
 for in Two States Alone.

Boston,-That over 5o,OO0 of New England's soldiers and sailors have
 been taken care of in a seven months
 period, ending July 30, by the War Service Department of the Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island State Y. M. c. As, organized to render service to ex-service men, is revealed in a re- port just made public by Samuel F. Bumpus, State War Service Secre- two states having had their facilities taxed to the utmost by the applica- tioRs of discharged men for the ad- vantages offered. Figures for Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Maine, not yet compiled.
 S5 special War Service secretaries are now employed in the two states, the majority of whom are returned soldiers themselves, and for this req son, perhaps, better able to get the returning doughboy's viewpoint, in handling his many difficulties. These secretaries, according to the report, had 11,539 personal interviews since the first of June, and a total of 3O,- 09O since the inception of the service. Of the men interviewed 12,281 have accepted the from three to six months free membership privileges extended by the Y M. c. As of New England to all service men, 2331 during the month just ended 79 per cent. are making use of the member ship thus obtained, 3491 are attend ing educational or religious classes, 6279 men have been assisted in ob- taining their S6O government bonuses, and were aided in properly filling out naturalization papers. So far in July IS day period shows that over 15,- 900 men have been assisted in obtain ing the $100 State Bonus; one asso- citation alone having helped 4500 men and given them free notary service.
 Employment has been directly ob tained for 2,714 men and 1872 have been indirectly assisted, and during the time that the Federal Employ ment Bureau was in operation "Y" War Service Secretaries were loaned the bureau and assisted in placing 4688 men. Over 5000 men have re- ceived guidance and assistance along vocational lines, 19,587 having re- ceived special service, which includ- ed practically everything from taking cinders out of a boys eye to getting men out of jail who were unjustly confined. Special entertainments, pep nights, and receptions, have been given to the number of 223, with an attendance of 21,28O.
 That these figures indicate only small part of the service being ren- dered by the local Y's in corporation with the War Work Council, is evil denced by the fact that the present covers the activities of only 28 of the 46 Massachusetts and Rhode Island Associations enlisted in the War Service Work.

"oNEPIECE" COOKERY.
Food, Time, Fuel and Labor May
 be Conserved by This Method.

One piece dishes, which were brought into favor by wartime con. ditiOns and economies, remain popular with thoughtful and progressive house wives, as a we1-balanced meal may be quickly and easily prepared in this manner. Rice, for example, lends it. self admirably to combination.
 Of several ways of cooking rice, the best, perhaps, is to add to a given quantity of rice about twice as much water, and cook oyer a very low fire in a covered kettle. Carefully cooked in this way the grains will stand apart" as well as by boiling the rice in a lot of water, rinsing with cold water, then drying in the oven.
 Using plain boiled rice for 8 basis, many balancing articles of food cheese, meat, eggs, nuts, fats, etc. combine with it tremendously. A cooking expert so uses up the coarser leaves of lettuce, romaine, endive, etc, that may have been left over from a salad. To these she adds a sliced onion, about two tablespoons of bacon fat, butter or butter substitute, and three-quarters of a cup of cold water for every half cup of weH-washed rice which, for this particular recipe, has not been previously cooked. When the water bofls in the covered kettle, she turns the fire low and allows the whole to cook for twenty minutes.
 Other combinations will produce re- suits equally tasty" The point is to conserve food, time, fuel, labor, thus increasing the working capital of thA hAzaawffa - - -

NEED $3,OOO,OOO,OOO
 FOR EXPORT TRADE

"In entering the battle for world trade supremacy, the United States must rely upon the American people as a whole to furnish the silver bullets. The Federal Reserve Board states that 3,OOO, ,0OO, ,00O of new funds must be provided in the next few months if the United States maintains it's present position in export trade. This sum must come from the chil- dren's banks, from the egg money of the farmers wives, and from the surplus created by the peo- ple's savings"

 Continuing, MT. Lewis said: If the American people can be taught to give one-tenth the thought they devote to making money to the problem of spending and investing it wisely, the financial stability of the country is assured. Furthermore, tn gO1d-brick man and the shvster broker and banker who are not pIv- ing their unduly traffic in separating the ignorant from their Government Bonds and War Savings Stamps will go out of business

, gained in confident vision for the fu- ture.
 Every national and international, every local union affiliated to the American Federation of Labor, has made definite progress in securing for it's members greater advantages in those things which are fundamental of betterment in all relations-of life. In some organizations the success has been phenomenal.
 Taking the labor movement as a whole there has been greater progress in securing the shorter workday than In any other similar period of time. The meaning of these victories can be interpreted only in the light of full understanding of the meaning of the shorter day. The shorter workday is something more than an economic de- mand. It is a demand for opportunity for rest, recuperation and develop ment; things which make life more than mere mechanical drudgery.

 BOND INTEREST BUSY.

Are you keeping the interest on Your Liberty Bonds busy?
 By taking the coupons to the post office as they come due, and reinvest- ing them in War Savings Stamps, they will continue to work for you, and at the end of five years there will be a substantial amount to invest in something worth while.
 Watch out for these dates of Liberty Bond interest payments for the re- mainder of this year: June Is, No. 1; September 15, No. 8; October 15, No. 2; November 15, No. 4; December IS, No. 1, also first interest payment on Victory Loan, No. 5,

At this time several aspects of the lab0~ question demand consideration. We need to emphasize the meaning and necessity of labor-to show that 1t is both law and means of service.

breaking trip between Grange.
vile and Elk City was made
Tuesday by Walter Nc Adams
in an automobile. Mr.. McAdams
carrying seven passengers in
addition to himself as driver
drove the fifty-eight miles OF
mountain road from Grangevilie
to Elk City in four. hours,
twenty minutes.
Leaving Grangeville Tuesday
night with seven men bound fol
the Elk City district to fight
forest fires, Mr.. McAdams drove
as far as Switchback, where the
party remained all night, In the
morning they left Switchback
and were in Elk City shortly
after 9 o'clock.
Mr.. McAdams, on the return
trip, left Elk City at 5 o'clock In
the evening and arrived in
GrangeVille about 9:20.
Considering the bad ROADS
steep grades and sharp turns,
the trip to Elk and return, in
little more than four hours each
way, is regarded as unsual. BY
stage, more than a day and a
half are required to make the

SAVED s2.5OO,OOO.

| On ELL pSsOOOsOOOs
Twelve thousand Idaho farm
ers, in 80 counties, actively
cooperated in a campaign for the
destruction Of ground squirrels,
which resulted in a saving OF
$2,500,000 in crops in the year
ended June 80, according to the
annual report of W. E. Crouch,
in charge of rodent control work
of the extension division of the
/ University of Idaho, in coopera-
ton with the bureau of bioio-
gical survey Of the federal de.
partment Of agricultural.
Poisoned bait mixed and dist
ributed on privately owned agri-
cultural land amounted to 461,-
430 pounds, with. which 553,716
acres were treated. An area of
1877 acres of public land was
treated with 30,918 pounds OF
bait, the farmers cooperating
also in this public work.
Forty thousand jack rabbits
were killed by poisoning in Mini
doka county in the course of the
year, accoring to reports by
cooperating farmers. In one
drive, in Cassia county, 5000
rabbits we're killed, and in Lin
coin county another drive melted
$500 rabbits. Three thousand
more Lincoln county rabbits
were killed in a drive made since
this report was compiled. Nine
counties were engaged in the
rabbit campaign, using strych-
nine to the amount of 1894
ounces.
Six counties conducted cam
paigns against pocket gopher5,
using 1900 ounces of strych-
nine. In some communities,
pocket gophers were entirely
eXterminated.
Cooperative funds expended
in the year amounted to $97, 905-
SO, including funds expended by
county commissioners, the state
of Idaho, the federal govern
ment and estimated expendi-
lures by individuals for poisoned
bait. The state of Idaho has a
fund of $4,000 to be expended
in two or more years in this
work. Of this fund, $7,62O.3l
was expended in the period COW
cred by the report. County COM
missioners, with farm bureaus
and other organizations, provid-
ed $55,451.84. From the allot-
ment of the bureau of biolo-
gical survey, the expenditure
was $15,033.30. By purchas-
ing stryehnine and saccharine
direct from the manufacturers,
the service estimates that it has
saved about $18,500.
