THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, POETXAND. JUNE 17, 1917,
IDAHO CAPTAIN HIT
Appointment of Patch as Lieutenant-Colonel
Protested.
WAR DEPARTMENT DELAYS
Republican, Named by Governor
Alexander, Democrat, Target for
Charges Which. Bring National
Guard Again Into Limelight.
SOISE. Idaho, June 16. (Special.)
Idaho National Guard affairs have
again sprung Into prominence. The
formal ratification by the department
of the appointment of Captain I V.
Patch as LJeu tenant-Colonel has been
protested. It Is asserted he Is neither
senior ranking officer nor qualified.
Captain Patch was jumped over the
three ranking Majors of the regiment
to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy. The Ma
jors are Clement Wilkins, First Bat
talion; DeWitt P. Olson, Second Bat
talion, and Harry T. Lewis. Third Bat
talion. Lewis is senior ranking offi
cer. Patch has held the commission
of Brigadier-General, Colonel and Adjutant-General
He Is a Republican
and was appointed by Governor Alex
ander, a Democrat.
Although the appointment of Captain
Patch took place some time ago. It has
not as yet been approved by the War
Department. The confirmation Is be
ing held up pending consideration of
the protest. It is understood here.
When the regiment went to the Mex
ican border last Summer Phil H. Crow,
former Adjutant-General, 'accompanied
It as Lieutenant-Colonel, Frank A. Mo
Call, of Bandpoint, having been phy
sically disqualified. The ranking Ma
jors Instituted ouster proceedings
against Crow in the Supreme Court to
annul the appointment. The War De
partment refused to recognize the
mandate of the Supreme Court and or
dered Crow mustered into the service.
The case In the court was then with
drawn. Crow went to Nogales, re
turned with the regiment and resigned.
The charge of politics in Jumping
Crow over the three Majors rang over
the state. Governor Alexander was
bitterly attacked on that ground. Crow
being a Democrat and having held an
appointive office as Adjutant-General
under the Governor's first administra
tion. The War Department, however,
recognized the Governor's authority In
making the appointment.
After 'the resignation of Crow the
Lieutenant-Colonelcy again became
vacant. The position was offered to
McCalL former Lieutenant-Colonel, If
he could physically qualify. He took
the examination and failed a second
time. Then Captain Patch was ap
pointed. Patch Is a Republican. He
was nominated for Lieutenant-Governor
while on the border with the
regiment, biit was defeated, B. M., Holt,
of Caldwell, having been nominated in
his place. Holt in turn was defeated
by a Democrat, Lieutenant-Governor K.
L. Parker, who presided over the last
Benate. Patch had accepted the Cap
taincy of Company M, of Emmett. now
of Idano Falls, the only commission
open, when the regiment was called to
the border. After the regiment's re
turn and following the death of Cap
tain R. L. Shaw, of Payette, he was
elected Captain of that company, a.
command he now holds.
There has been persistent talk In
military and statehouse circles about
a regular Army officer being placed in
charge of the Second Idaho Regiment.
Nothing so far has come of it. The
regiment, now practically J000 strong,
is now doing police duty in various
parts of this and other states. Orders
were recently received to organize a
field hospital and the task of accom
plishing . this is being vigorously
prosecuted by Lieutenant B. O. Clark.

throughout the week.
of sub-committees on fraternities and
clubs, respectively, have taken active
steps in 'promoting this co-operation.
On the campus at the present time
are six National fraternities, four local
fraternities, eight men's clubs, one
chapter of a National sorority and two
local sororities, in all 21 student or
ganlzations.. Upon survey It was found
that 17 of these would be glad to co
operate In buying supplies.
A leading grocer was given all the
business of the various fraternities,
sororities and clubs who cared to Join
in this movement. He furnishes the
goods at wholesale prices, and bills
from the wholesale dealers are shown
to a properly accredited representative
of the buying organizations, thus
holding a check over the contractor.
He is paid J50 a month to carry on
this business for the Managers' Club,
the organization formed by the man
agers of the various houses concerned.
All bills are met by the organizations
before the 10th of the month, fully and
in cash, or 10 per cent is added to the
amount of the bill.
A table prepared by Professor Beck
with shows a saving on groceries rang
ing from 15 to 75 per cent.
On account of local conditions. It
w" " possible to use the methods
which have been outlined for the pur
chase of groceries in the purchase of
meat. It Is probable a method similar
to the one outlined may be used by
chapters in large cities or in towns
where there Is a constant supply of
meat In the market at all times. In
"..f.Ta111 town. where cold storage fa
S.V.. t"". ,nadelute, the dealer finds
difficulty in buying In large quantities.
Supplying good milk cheaply did not
meet with serious difficulties because
several large dairymen In the vicinity
of tha college made the competition
for business keen.
A careful survey of the results thus
Tar obtained shows a reduction in the
cost of table board in the various
units varying from 10 to 35 per cent.
One unexpected feature regarding the
Managers' Club has appeared. It oc
curred to certain members of the- fac
Y!tyi 1i the scho1 "t home economics
that the organization offered
cellent medium .for carrying on a
series of studies regarding the various
problems ooncerning the feeding of
students. Accordingly, - project was
outlined which is being conducted by
advanced students. Its purpose is to
ascertain the average cost unit, to
gether with the energy and heating
values of the food consumed. Direct
information Is being sought as to the
exact cost of feeding a unit student
in a fraternity house and also an ac-
find out whether or not the food is of
the right kind and sufficient for the
purpose.

For the first time in the history of the

Please pardon us forusinga technical term such"as''one year"

Has always sought the quality trade.
Perhaps that fact explains our sales records. It ev'identlyshows"
a'rather decided tendency towards abetter car, and we feel.compH
