nth DIVISION ORGANIZES
ASSOCIATION TO HELP IT'S
MEMBERS FIND SITUATIONS

Chateau-Villain, Haute- Marine, Feb.
Correspondence of The Associ
ated Press. ITO save soldiers who
have battled in France with the Sew
en5y-seventh division from having to
fight for work on their return to the
United States, there has been organ
lied in this little village by the Marine
the Seventy-seventh Division associa-
ton. Major Spencer F. Weaver has
been eacted chairman and Captain
George McMurtry, secretary and
treasurer. The Seventy-seventh di-
vision was organized at Camp Upton,
and is composed largely of men from
New York and vicinity.
Major Weaver informed The Asso-
ciated Press that one of the primary
objects of the Seventy-seventh Divis-
ion association wa sto secure positions
for all men in the division requiring
them. All company officers have been
requested to confer with each man in
their organization and have filled out
a questionable as to the position
which he may be competent to fill.
All officers and soldiers who have
served overseas with the division au-
tomatically become members of the
association.
The association is arranging for the
suitable marking of all graves of the
officers and soldiers of the division
who have fallen in France
Steps will be taken to provide as
sistance for the dependents of the
soldiers of the 77th division who died
or have been disabled.
In order that permanent organiza-
ton may be established and that the
spirit Of loyalty and democracy among
the members of the division may be
maintained, a club will be founded in
New York where officers and soldiers
may meet.
The association is to be without any
political shade, and one of the bylaws
says: "No member of the association,
in his official capacity, shall give pub
lie expression to an opinion on any pc
litical question. nor take any action to
influence legislation"
The executive committee is compos-
ed as follows: Major Spencer, chair
man; Major Lewis Saunders, 152nd
field artillery brigade; Major Julius
o. Adler, 153rd infantry brigade; Ma
jor James 4. Roosevelt, Independent
units; and Captain McMurtry.

TELL THE TRUTH.

When advertising, tell the truth. If
you have nothing worthy of telling
about, for the good of the greatest
number tell nothing. When you adj
vertise something that you have not
got and then try to convince some
one that you have something just as
good you are making mistake that
not only kills your own prospects but
Injuries others
We heard of a man that came to this
part of the state recently, employed a
hack to take him to location of
which he had received illustrated adj
vertising matter, looked around the
place, failed to identify anything he
had seen in the pictures or descriptive
matter, got back in the hack, came to
town and took the first train north,
saying that he didn't want anything to
do with a people who would deliber-
ately mislead people by their adver-
Using. So we say-when you adver-
tise, tell the truth. We have enough
that is desirable to tell about.

JAPAN NEEDS GREAT LEADER
TO INSPIRE HIS COUNTRYMEN

Toxic, Feb. 4.-(Correspondence of
The Associated Press.) = National
thought in Japan has become unbal-
anced of late years asserts DIR. Sawa-
yanagi, formerly vice president of ed
ucation and now president of the I'M
perial Education society, and member
of the house of peers, in an illuminate
ing article he has published in the
Osaka Mainichi.
For ages past, asserts DIR. Sawaya-
nagi, Japan's thought was dominated
by Buddhism and Confucianism, but
now they have lost their control over
the minds of thinking japanese, and
these persons have no further ground
on which to stand Since Japan was
opened to foreign intercourse, he de-
clares, new ideas have come in and
disturbed the thought of the people,
but foreign thought has supplied no
substitute for Confucianism and so
has failed to unity Japan's foreign
ideals.
The writer refers to Japan's two
victories over China and Russia as
having secured her admission to the
circle of great powers and to have
been the consummation of Japan's
restoration" With the accomplish
ment of. this restoration, DR.. Sawaya-
nagi says, the problem of how to uni.
fly Japan's ideals again came to the
front and now is demanding solution.
This question, says the writer calls
for the greatest intellect. Until some
great leader arises who can inspire
his countrymen with great ideas, such
as are natural to them, and such as
they will accept, the problem will not
be satisfactorily solved.
1t is absurd to suppose that the
movements of present uneasy thought
lice, concludes DR.. Sawayanagk

Buy lot for $1,000. build an apart
ment house with eight suites at cost
Of $4,000, furnish it for $4,000. That
will be an expenditure of $4,000. Rent
the suites at an average rental of $50
a7,month for s months in the year.
What will bring $1,440, or IS per cent
on the investment. Money is worth
&rom 6 to 8 per cent, say 8 per cent.
That is not so bad, is it?-ten per
GENT for nothing but a little thought.
Besides you will help. your neighbor
and be happy. You will be able to
rent for enough more than this esti-
mate to cover all taxes and insurance.
A net gain of ten per cent on $4,000
would be $500. Build two such apart
ment houses and you can live comfort
ably on your income if you are not
extravagant.

to be regretted that the U. s food
administration got so badly frighton-
ed that they threw the waters of the
country open to any and all kinds of
net fishing, and now that the supposed
emergency is passed they have for
gotten to call in the miles, of stop
nets now in the hands of fishermen.
Experience has shown that the use of
these nets will absolutely ruin the
fishing business not only for the tour
ists but for the commercial fishermen
as well.

It is encouraging to note that moves

PAINT THE GREATEST KNOWN
WOOD PRESERVAT|vE

Wood, unless covered with a paint
film, absorbs moisture and becomes
warped. First, the joints of the build
ing begin to crack under the ravages
of rain, wind, etc. Next the moisture
seeps through the wood, rotting it con-
stantly as long as the exposure con-
tinues, and undermining the structure.
A paint film definitely separates the
wood from the elements and if this
film is renewed at intervals, the de-
structive action of the elements abb
solutely cannot reach the timber.

COAL PLOT PROBE
Half Million Miners Digging
Price Held Unchanged
Supply Increasing

Federal Judge A. B. Anderson
of Indianapolis. Ind, is on the
trial of coal operators as well as
miners. He has charged the fed
eral grand jury to make most
searching investigation of the
methods and prices for coal since
the passing of the Lever act.
The judicial department takes
cognizance of the enormous pro-
fits made by coal mine operators
for the past year or more and II
is proposed to make offenders
suffer for profteering in viola
tion of law. Congress is dispos-
ed to meddle with the settlement
of the strike brot about by presi-
dent Wilson and it is surmised
that some congressman have
more interest in coal mines than
is good for the pockets of consum.
ers. Nearly all union miners
are at work.

BOYS Who Left Farms

OfAmerica's mighty war fore
es of more than four and a half
million of men, 1900. 900, it is
estimated, came from farms.
During the earlier demobiliza-
tion, it was so difficult to keep
track of the discharged service
men that it seemed as though a
very large proportion of them
did not return to their former
addresses or homes. So many
of the service men who had
come from the farms seemed to
be listening to the call of the
city that it was feared more
than one-half of them were not
going back to the farms. Later
the tide of migration set in tow
ard the country. and now it is
believed that the loss in man
power to the farms as the result
of former service men settling
elsewhere may not be more than
100000.

Wallace Taylor Burned Out

K According to the Twin Falls,
Idaho Daily Times. a destructive
fire at Filler, Idaho caused a total
loss of Filler Department Store
which was owned by Wallace w.
Taylor, formerly of this county.
Taylor had purchased the inter-
est of the stock holders in the
mercantile company and was the
sole owner. Between 8 and Il
O'Clock the next morning his
possession was in ashes and
srnouldering heavy goods. His
loss is $l25000, easily known by
the amount he paid so short d
time before his big loss, and his
insurance was only about half OF
the value of the stock.
1t is thot that crossed electric
wires in the rear of his store
supplied the spark. Twin Falls
and Buhl fire departments were
on hand to assist Filler depart
ment or much greater loss would
have been sustained.
