When the legislation of the

An interesting feature in con-

is the large demand for nome
economics teachers. The num-
beriof teachers employed in this

which shows that the salary

American
Legion Notes


vention of the American Legion,
which will be held in Cleveland
the three days commencing Sep
tember 81, will be called on to
determine whether the future
policy of the legion shall be sab
solutely non-partisan'' in poll
tics and political issues, or
whether the present constitu-
tional restrictions on such &C
tiyities shall be amended and
broadened.
Virginia's delegates will leave
Richmond next Thursday and
Saturday, aud will 60 uninstruct-
ed on this issue, which promises
to be one of the utmost impor-
lance at the convention. The
matter was not discussed at the
recent state convention in Rich
mond, and the Virginia dclega-
ton has not been informed of
the views of the local posts.
Persons actively engaged in
promoting the legion's interests
recognize that circumstances
have decreed that the legion
could not ignore the existence of
politics, and the demand for
new statement of policy on the
attitude of the organization to-
wards politics has been spon-
taneous. In several states there
has been activity by legion mem
bers in recent elections, princi
pally because OF war records, and
in many quarters it is declared
that the departments and posts
should have greater freedom in
such matters.
Many issues will he raised at
the Cleveland convention, when
it is expected that the four-fold
beneficial legislation bill will
again command extended con-
sideration and debate. There is
understood to be opposition in
some of the Southern States, but
Virginia has officially approved
the proposed law for the second
time, although the department.
convention voted to take no part
iii any movement to urge its
passage by Congress.
Another important question
which may assume some proper
tons and be freely debated, is
the question of providing a sys-
tenn for the disciplining of mem
bers, posts or departments which
violate the constitution or poll
cies determined upon by resolu-
tons of the national convention.
The constitution now fails to
provide means for exercising of
such discipline on members,
branches or posts.
Fully 5000 delegates from ev
cry state in the Union, and
representing practically every
section of every state, are ex-
pectep to attend the convention,
for which elaborate plans are
now being made in Cleveland.

These rights comprise control Of one
Of the largest steel-producing districts
In Europe. From it's foundries at Err

There Is "BiU" Snow. Too.

In mentioning candidates for state,
county and legislative offices who
are graduates of the University of
Idaho, the name of William M Snow,
democratic nominee for state mine in
spector,' was overlooked. This was
an oversight for which we apologize,
for 'Bill" is one Of our boys. He was
born in Moscow, graduated in the
class of 1906 as mining engineer
and was engaged as engineer for the
Gold Hunter Mining & Smelling
Company, Of Mullan, Idaho, until 1912
and has been engaged in general en-
gineering work in central Idaho since
that date. He is now a member of
the house of representatives, having
been elected in 1918. Our attention to
the fact that Snow had been overlook
ed was called by Captain George Hor-
ton, a prominent republican alumnus
of the University of Idaho, who said:
"The Alumni Association of Idaho
certainly appreciates the splendid
work the Moscow papers are doing
for the University. We have pledged
our support to these papers as the
papers have supported the Univer-
sity Of Idaho on all occasions Your
mention of the former students who
are candidates was timely, fair and
will be appreciated by all friends of
the school.

ENEMIES OF CROPS

REGINA, Sask-Like the Child
ren's Crusade of the Middle Ages
bands of boys and girls have been
marching through this province for
the last six weeks waging a bitted war.
Clutching stones and clubs in their
fists, the school children have exter-
minated two million gophers, thus
saving a million bushels of wheat val
ued at more than $2,500,000.
Over prairies once black with the
buffalo and along streams where
few years ago the beaver was sought
by trappers of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany, which is now closing out it's
lands to settlers, the children have
carried on a fight perhaps unprece-
dented on the North American conti-
nent.
The plan which has virtually rid the
province of the gopher Is simple. In
idle hours the children would form
little groups. A group would spread
out shaped, then come together in
a pincer movement. The club would
stone up the entrances of some holes
and set traps or poison bait at others

"One would think that Judge Forney
was an emissary of the University
sent out to boost for it, instead of be-
ing a candidate for one of the highest
positions in the state" said Boise
man who was in Moscow a short time
today. "Judge Forney has done some
wonderful work for the university.
He is working for it wherever he goes
and he talks for it to every one who
will listen. incidentally he says a
few words for himself, tells the per
sons to whom he is talking and asks
the person to vote for him, if he or
she can do so conscientiously. But
first, last and all the time he is tell
ing what wonderful school Idaho
has in its state university and advls-

ton. You will feel the effects of

ment next year."

WORLD PEACE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES ISSUE STATEMENT
ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Boston-By A. P)-The Trustees
of World Peace Foundation, the mil
i lion-dollar endowment established in
1910 by the late Edwin CHM, have
that American entry into the League
of Nations can not be decided by the
November election. The statement
says:
''The problem of the organization of
the world for peace is greater than
any man or any body of men. AL
though the ratification of the treaty
of Versailles, with or without reser-
vations, was prevented by the failure
of the President and the Senate to
agree, nevertheless, whatever polite
al party may come into power, it
will find that the interest, the con-
science and the sense of duty of the
American people will require the ma
tion to take its part in the essential
work of establishing and preserving
the peace of the world.
"The World Peace Foundation was
created to promote the organization
of the world for the prevention of
war. The Trustees of this Founda-
tion believe that the only practical
way of achieving that result is by
joining the existing League of Ma
tions, with such notifications, if any,
as the wisdom of our statesmen may
think proper for the welfare of the
United States. We have assurances
that foreign governments will well
come the United States with any
such notifications as it may think

TO OPEN HOSPITALS
FOR OUR SOLDIERS
PLANS TO CARE FOR
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS OF
MANY STATES

WASHINGTON D. C.-The U. S.
Public Health Service will today open
its Marine Hospital in Chicago as a
general clearing house for soldiers and
sailors residing in the States of Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, and Michigan, who
are suffering from nervous and mental
diseases. DR.. L. M. Wilbor, surgeon
Of the Public Health Service, left yes
terday for Chicago to take charge.
Any member Of the military or ma
val forces of the United States Of
these states who needs such attention
may come or be sent to the hospital
for observation and diagnosis, and
will receive, in addition to the service
of the group of able Public Health
Service surgeons who accompany DR..
Wilbor, the benefit of all the facilities
for diagnosis afforded by the vast in
strumental resources and expert
neuropsychic talent of the great city.
Later, the patient may be returned
to his home with or without instruc-
tions to report from time to time to
the hospital for further observation;
or he may be- transferred to such
other hospital as may seem best suited
TO his condition Before returning
patient to his home, it's conditions and
their probable effect upon him will
be carefully considered.
DR.. Wilbor has a distinguished rec
ord, particularly in New York, where
he served in both private and State
hospitals, and in the well-known New
York Neurological Institute.
The hospital, which will start with
1870 beds, has an allowance of $85,00O
for remodeling and other purposes. 1t
will serve as clearing house for the
eighth district of the Public Health
Service
