THE PRICE OF WAR

Russia calls a million sixteenth cen
tury peasants from the fields and
Germany mows them down. Another
million take their place. Death again.
Another million. And yet another
million OF these sixteenth century
peasants. And when it is all over
those who are left will go back to
their fields.
But Germany, France, England, par
ticularly England and Germany, where
will they turn when the million dead
are shoveled under the bloody soil?
The bricks and mortar of industry
may be still standing. but where will
credit be found? And what will the
millions Of starving factory hands be
doing? Happy the Russian peasant
who will go back to his sixteenth cen
tury and his field, telling the time by
the suns shadow Industry in Europe
with other things of older date, will
lie i'm ruins.
Armaments have broken the back
of the laborer, and with the fall of the
laborer all things fall. all things come
to earth Because OF the war lords,
and only because of the war lords, the
man Of science is paralyzed and civil
lization stops Humanity has been
fooled. Too late to discover it.
Remember this. too Among the
young conscript soldiers OF Europe
who will die in thousands. and per
haps millions, are the very flower
of civilization: we shall destroy brains
which might have discovered for us
in ten or twenty years easements for
the worst human pains and solutions
for the worst of social dangers We
shall blot those souls out of our com
mon existence We shall destroy ut
terly those splendid burning spirits
reaching out to enlighten our dark
ness Our fathers destroyed those
strange and valuable creatures whom
they called witches" We are des-
/ troying the brightest of our angels.
At least. then let us not get drunk
songs. Honor may call us to fight
4 self-preservation may force us into
/ the slaughter house: but let us veal
on our sleeves the Grape of mourning
for a civilization that had the promis'
of joy. and strike our enemy withou
a hiccOugh or a curse. Never shall
we know again what is now perishing
And we shall want all our strengtl
for tomorrow Chronicle.

FOUND BODY IN SAGEBRUsH
Mysterious Disappearance OF Coleman
j. Ridge, Sr-, Is Believed to
Be Cleared.

One day during May. 1913, Cole
man ]. Ridge, Sr., left the town of
Pocatello. where he had been work
ing, with an intention OF visiting his
family at the Ridge homestead near
Sublett He left the train at Ameri-
can Falls, the verihcation OF which
news is the lest thing his relatives
and friends ever heard of him. At
the time OF his disapparence the
matter was sifted quite carefully and
a wide search was made for him.
Though the circumstances pointed
toward the probable death of Mr.
Ridge, his family never entirely de-
SPARED and always held out some
hope for his return. The finding of
body last Saturday in the sage
brush on a ranch near Bonanza bar,
in the extreme eastern part of the
county, by one Mr.. yelling, however,
ends their hope and also clears up
TO some extent the mystery surround
ing the affair.
How the body. which was ldentlned
as that of the missing man by certain
letters found upon ii, came to be
where it was finally discovered is hard
to explain. 1t is generally thought
though. that he probably was travel
ing to his home from American Falls
by foot and while en- route was over
come with heart failure There is a
possibility that foul play may have
had something to do with it, but that
theory is given little credence.
Upon the finding Of the body the
sherins Office here was notified and
man was Immediately sent to inves-
tigate all conditions surrounding the
matter.-Albion Nugget.

The pathetic incidents preceding her
death--a fatal malady realized by all
but herself, her patient and huroic
battle for life for the sake of her
children, appealed to all No finer
courage was ever displayed, and no
nobler motherly instincts ever shown.
Mrs. Sparks. from her first arrival
in American Falls. took a leading part
in every movement looking to the bet
terment of social and moral condi-
tions. AS a member of the library as
sociation and its forerunner, the Sy-
ringa club, her best public work was
done. but it was in her home life that
her true worth became apparent

Francisco in 1879. and moved with her
parents to Nogales. Arizona, where
she was married to Walter s. Sparks
on July 5. 1899 Immediately thereaf-
ter Mr.. and Mrs Sparks came to Am

cancerous growth first appeared in
June last year. She underwent an op-
Grafton here. and later went TO the
Mayer institute at Rochester, Mimi,
for treatment For several months
after her return from Rochester her
health seemed 10 improve, and hopes
were entertained for her complete re-
covery. While on a visit to California
in February. however. the ailment re-
turned In the hope Of receiving relief
she went TO Salt Lake. Boise and San
/ Francisco for treatment and died at
the latter place September a.
She showed the greatest fortitude
and hope throughout the entire time
Just prior to her death she wrote Mr
Sparks that she would be home in two
weeks. The letter was not received
until the day after the telegram an
nouncing her death came.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev Cook. who paid a beautiful
tribute to the life Of the departed sis.
ter and spoke words Of comfort to heI
sorrOwing family and friends. Music

Spalding. Miss Dora Rice. Professor
Wallis and S l.. Baird A violin sole

STANDS WELL AT HOME
Candidacy OF ;. L. Baird FaNorably
Commented Upon.

The following item, taken from the
Dodge City (Kansas) Daily Globe,
shows that Spencer L. Baird. Repub-
lican nominee for prosecuting attor-
ney, stands we'll in the old home
place:
Spencer Baird, who left here sew
eral months ago to open a law office
at American Falls. Idaho is now the
candidate OF the Republicans of his
county for prosecuting attorney On
this account Dodge City people will
take a lively interest this year in the
election news from that part of Idaho.
Mr. Baird is a native of Ford coun-
" He was graduated from the Dodge
City high school and from the Kansas
State University and received his le-
gal education in that institution. Az
ter his admission to the bar in this
state he went to Idaho and has been
remarkably successful with his law
practice there.
Mr.. Baird is so well and favorably
known here that his record in the far
northwest is being watched by more
than usual interest by the people OF
this community. His character. his
natural ability and the splendid train
ing he has acquired entitle him to re-
cognitiOn in any community and
should serve as a guaranty of faith
full and efficient service to the people
of his county if they elect him for
their prosecuting attorney.
