To Whom It May Concern ;
This will Introduce to you a
member of the Boy Scouts of
America. This organization is
co-operating with the State and
Federal Government in secur
ing census data and labor sta
tistics for the State of Idaho.
Any assistance you may
render in this work will be
appreciated.
This is not a military census
and has nothing to do with re

Each carrying a copy of the above
letter of introduction from Governor
Moses Alexander, the Boy Scouts of
Troop 2, of which Dr. J. F. Shepherd
is scoutmaster and C. E. Munson and
Paul Taber assistant scoutmasters,
will next Monday take the census of
the entire city of Twin Falls, previ
ously mentioned in the news columns
of the Times. There will be twenty
®r more boys taking the census, none
of whom will receive any compensa
tion beyond that spiritual satisfac
tion which comes from a sense of
duty and patriotism well and consci
entiously performed. The census has
nothing to do with the war although
the boys will advertise the sale of
liberty bonds.
The boys will ask of or about each
person, the name, address, male or
female, country of birth, married or
single, number of children under eigh
teen years of age and occupation.
The boys
^ lice protection and have the support
and co-operation of the police depart
ment. The city will be divided into
four wards and will be systematically
canvassed.
The following letter indicate the au
thority to sell Liberty bonds with
which the Boy Scouts are invested:

My dear Mr. Livingstone:
It will be most gratifying to me as
Honorary President of the Boy Scouts
of America to have the Boy Scouts,
their scoutmasters and leaders
throughout the United States lend
their aid to the Secretary of the Trea
sury in distributing applications and
securing popular subscriptions to the
Liberty Loan. This will give every
Scout a wonderful opportunity to do
bis share for his country under the
slogan "Every Scout to Save a Sol
dier."
I feel sure this request will find a
unanimous and enthusiastic response
from Boy Scouts everywhere.
Sincerely yours,

WASHINGTON, Juno 7—Returns reaching the office of the Provost

fully examined to see whether they are bona fide or not. The office indi

BRITISH STOMACH IS
Campaign of Honor to Show Whether
People Will Voluntarily Abstain Be
ing Tested Out.
(Unlted Press)
LONDON, June 7—By the end of
this month it will be possible to say
whether the British stomach has a
sense of humor.
Said stomach has been on probation
now for several weeks. July 1 the
answer will be known. If it is af
firmative John Bull may continue to
live on voluntary rations. Otherwise,
compulsory rations and food tickets.
The honor system Is the idea of
Lord Devonport, sometimes called by
owners of Impatient tummies, ''the
glorified grocer." The campaign of
honor is on in full blast. There never
was any Idea that the national stom
ach should fight out its battle alone
and unaided. It is supported by bill
boards, by pamphlets, by dodgers and
newspapers reminders. Kennedy J.
Jones, the advertising genius behind
the big and successful "Win the War
Loan" campaign, is sitting at Lord
Devonport's right hand.
Jones has bombarded the nation's
conscience with such phrases as "If
we eat more than our share we eat
somebody else's share." "Save the
bread and the bread will save you."
The honor system is applied to the
family only. The food controller is
sues orders—which are law—for ho
tels and restaurants.
Britain is putting its kitchens on a
war basis. Food Administrator Hoov
er says America must do likewise.
Here's the first:
Surrey Stew—For four people use
one pound of lean beef, two carrots,
small bunch of herbs, seasoning to
taste, flour to thicken, one tablespoon
of drippings, two sliced onions, one
turnip, two cloves. Add seasoning to
taste before serving, and take out the
herbs.

Never serve bread witli meat and
Professor T. B. Wood of Caius Col
lege believes today that Britain's use
less animals should be slain. They
are on food rations like the rest of
the population, but the professor de
clares they're "eating their heads off."
Wood advocated slaughtering cattle
for beef, claiming they do not produce
an equivalent of the food they con
sume.

GERMANS USE DEVICE THAT
WAS PLANNED BY ENGLISH
Aerial Torpedo Sank Ship When Dis
charged from Seaplane at Side of
VesseL
(United Press)
LONDON. June 7—When a German
seaplane swooped down and discharg
ed an aerial torpedo which sank the
3000 ton British steamship Gena, the
Boche stole one of the pet ideas for
naval wanare which the British Ad
miralty had been treasuring. Over a
year ago the English aeroplanes were
fitted out with devices for carrying
and discharging torpedoes against en
emy ships, but the Germans beat them
to It.
The idea of aeroplanes attacking in
this fashion is extremely practical, a
British naval authority declared to
day. It Is hoped that the United
States will soon start offensive move
ments against German ships with this
means of attack. A light gun, loaded
with cordite can be used to fire the
torpedo, or a special launching ar
rangement in the form of a light bas
ket which throws the torpedo and
ables it to bo aimed.

BOYD H. FÜLLER 10 GO
TO DETROIT NEXT WEEK
Manager of the Franklin Gas Turbine
Company Well and Favorably
Known in City.
Boyd H. Filler, manager of the
Franklin Gas Turbine company, will
leave next week with his family for
Detroit, where he will immediately
proceed with the organization of the
company's business. Their headquar
ters will be located at Detroit. The
manufacturing at present is being
handled at Cincinnati, but the present
plans contemplate an early removal
of this end of the business to De
troit.
The company has been meeting with
remarkable success in raising the re
quired capital, practically all that is
necessary having been raised up to
the present. The objective point has
been so nearly reached that the di
rectors are announcing a raise in the
selling price of the stock from ten
cents to twenty-five cents, effective
after June 9.
The success of the company thus
far should not, however, be considér
er phenominal when one investigates
the articles which the company manu
factures. These are all products for
which there is an almost unlimited
market, and a market which is con
tinually being enlarged.
Among the stockholders of the com
pany in Twin Falls are many promi
nent business men, the stock being
nearly all held by Twin Fails peo
ple.
The mechanical ability of James W.
Nance, the chief engineer of the com
pany, is well known to Twin Falls
automobilists. Mr. Nance lias been
connected with the automobile busi
ness ever since its beginning,
a keen student of matters mechanical
and has the happy faculty of combin
ing the theoretical with the practical.
Mr. Fuller, the business manager
He is
of the company, has had a wide ex
perience in business affairs. He has
been connected with the banking busi
ness for eight years, over five years
having been spent with the Twin Falls
Bank & Trust company of this city,
the other three with the Security
Trust & Savings Bank of Los Angeles.
His experience also covers titles and
insurance. It will be remembered
that about a year ago he promoted and
conducted the first automobile show
ever held in Idaho, In this city, which
was highly successful in every way.

FRANCE TRAINS MEN
TO FIGHT WITH US
Frenchmen Will Be Only Nineteen
Years Old When They Co-operate
With Us In Ranks,
By Henry Wood
(United Press.)
WITH FRENCH ARMIES, June 6—
Prance has begun training the class
of 1918 consisting of the youngest re
cruits, by whose side America's army
will be fighting next fall, should the
war last that long.
The new French class will be
little younger than the men of the
American army. They will be but 19.
while the youngest Americans will be
a
21 .
All France hopes that American In
tervention will render it unnecessary
to ever again call out one of the
French classes before the usual mili
tary age. The class of 1918 which is
now at the instruction camps is prob
ably one of the finest France has pro
duced. It is being especially instruct
ed in bayonet fighting and hand grou
nding.

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 7—It la
doubtful whether any president of Bra

popular approval that has been mani
fested toward Wenceslau Braz in the
breaking of diplomatic relations and
the probabilities of war with Germany.
Newspapers print daily lists of tele
grams offering support to the govern

States and the allies are displayed at
patriotic meetings. Practically every
Brazilian is taking his weekly drill on
a rifle range. Mass for early success
of the allies Is sung In practically ev
ery Catholic church In the country.
