Harold Johnson who had worked for
the Riverside Grocery for nearly four
years before entering the service re-
turned from overseas duty last sunday
He left here June 20, 1918, for Camp
Lewis and from there he went to Camp
Kearney. He arrived overseas about
September first and had gotten to with
in about thirty miles of the front line
trenches when the armlstice was sign
ed, being in the neighborhood of Yer
dun
Mr.. Johnson expects In few days
to go to Kenora, Manitoba, Canada,
where his parents live, for short visit
latter which 1t is his intention to come
back to American Falls and again WORK
for the Riverside Grocery.
"Peewee" Huls also returned home
with Mr.. Johnson. He and Harold left

signed TO the same company, goinp
across together, sharing the same ex
periences and finally being honorably
discharged and coming home togeth

L inotune Motor Broke.

The Press is issued under difhculties
this week and we are therefore one
day late Monday when the linotype
man started the machine the motor
made half dozen revolution and died.
An electrician was sent for and he de-
cided that the motor would have TO be
sent to Salt Lake for repairs. lnas-
much as the motors on linotype are
special kind it was impossible to get a
substitute motor so we are compelled
to wait till our old one is repaired be-
fore running our own linotype. we
are enabled 10 do os we'll as we. have
through the kindness Of Mr.. Strong OF
the Power County News. He offered
us the use of his linotype at night and
our operator has been setting up our
type at night in the News office. This
is an unhandy arrangement, necessitat'
ing the carrying OF the copy to the News
Office and then draying the type matter
TO the Press office. However, the cleo
trician promised us our motor by the
first of next week and so in all proba'
biIity we will be running normally by
the time the next issue is printed.

SYSTEMATIC FIGHT WILL
BE WAGED ON WEEDS
Stock have been paid or ecured in
Seed Companies, County Agents and
School Teachers to Be En-
listed in Campaign.

Seed companies, county farm bu-
reau agents and school teachers who
wish to aid in the pure seed campaign
for Idaho being waged by the state
seed laboratory will be given the ut
most cooperation on the part of the
seed officials.
Mounts containing the various
weeds of the state or community in
which the person Interested may live
will be furnished at cost to those de-
string them for educational purposes.
If a sufficient amount of orders for
these can be obtained the cost will be
brought down to about so cents apiece,
These mounts are similar to
framed picture, having a wooden frame
and glass cover. However, instead of
a picture there is dried sample of the
various noxious weeds placed upon a
white ground and these are considered
one of the best means of educating
laymen and children in their character
istics. 1t is planned by the seed divi-
sion of the university extension depart
ment to give a special course of in
struction to the county farm bureau
agents when they are present at the
conference of extension workers which
it is thought, will be held in Boise next
summer
Importance of careful and irtelli
gent seed selection will be emphasized
at this conference and study course
on the noxious weeds of Idaho will bt
given, which will include means o
getting rid of these.
County agents depend on labora
tory tests for samples of seeds submit
ted to them by growers" says P. A
Wenger, state seed analyst, land in dc
ing this, they have been forced to wal
for the results until they could pre-
ceed to purchase seed for growers.
"It will the purpose of this educa
tional plan to familiarize these worf
ers, county agents and club leader
with the worst varieties of weed seeds
such as buckhorn, bracted, plainta1I
and the dodders and this will increas
their ability to judge and select pur
seed.
Losses through weeds in ldah
have been so great that unless the ma
terr of their control is given immediat
attention and serious considerable
they will result in the loss of tn
states reputation as producer
fine seed"
Those wanting weed mounts shou
write to the state seed laborator
Boise, stating the number desired,
well as the variety of weeds.

TO FILL MILITIA QUOTA

American Falls, the home town of
Governor ID, w, Davis, is the first
place IN Idaho TO fill its militia com
pany to minimum required strength of
81 men, according to telegram re

1 order that uniforms may be requisi
toned The equipment of the com
pany is expected in about six weeks.
1t is hoped that the official designa
tion of the company viii be "a but II
is not known whether this will be pos
sible as Il is understood that this desig
nation has been promised to another
company. However, in view of the fac
that American Falls was the first place
in the state to complete its quota l
would seem that this organization Il
at least entitled to be called "A com
pany.
They have gym equipment whlc
members of the company may use be
fore drill There are great many at
vantages Tor young men at this time
join the National Guard and If anyon

tion to the officers. II won't be yer
long until the full quota will have bee

OF grey felt trimmed with brass. On
the front OF II In brass trimmings are

IDAHO RICHLY ADVERTISED ON
ACCOUNT OF BOXING BOUT

Boise Ida-Editors in this city who
look over papers from outside the state
remark on the widespread advertising
Idaho has already secured on account
of the prospects of the Willard-Demp-
sew boxing contest being staged at Po-
catello.
Every leading newspaper IN the
United States has not only carried ar
ticles on this enterprise in its sporting
departments but most of them nave
commented thereon editorially, calling
attention to the enterprise of the peo-
pie of this state number of them eX-
press the hope that Idaho will secure
this event and declare that it de-
serves it in view of the effort being
put forth as against formidable eastern
competitors.
This publicity has stimulated news
paper inquiry as to Idaho generally and
correspondents here have Unexpectedly
been flooded with requests for informa
ion about Idaho resources, the people
here, the highway conditions, public
buildings and other subjects pertinent
to state development. AS this intor
nation was requeted, of course it vii
be printed, with the result that Idaho
will secure advertising of a most ben
eticial nature that could not have beer
obtained if interest had not been rlvet
ed on the state because of this boXlni
contest.
If the promoters of the affair shal
decide to bring it to Pocatello, mucl
additional publicity helpful to the stat'
will be given.

REGARDING County Health Nurse,


AS a sequel to the Public Health
meeting which was held last week,
committee went before the County
Commissioners Monday with re-
ques that they employ a County Health
Nurse. Nothing of definite nature was
done at this time, the Commissioners
desiring to know morre about what the
sentiment of the people is before tax
ing any definite action. This matter
will be taken up at an adjourned meet

they will have sufficient information re
garding the sentiment of the people on
thi matter that they will be able to take
such action as will be satisfactory TO
the majority of the residents or the
county. Between now and next Thurs
day petitions will probably be circnlat
ed in order to learn the sentiment OF
the people in regard to employing a
County Health Nurse.
