Germany started this European
conflict in August, 1914. She in
tended to take Europe by surprise
and overpower her and the rest
would be easy, but Germany did
not consider the possibility of so
many foes as there was. The
conquering of the world was a
larger task than she anticipated
1t should be the wish of every
patriotic American to see the
colors of the U S proudly waving
over the battlefields of Europe,
alongside the coiors of the Allies.
This war of ours will make
many a home desolate, but one
thing is certain. if you die on the
battlefield young man you will
have cone your country honor
and on the other hand if you stay
away from the recruiting office
without any excuse you will be
marked a Stacker" so which
had you rather be A Stacker or
Patriotic Citizen There are sew
eral young men through our land
who are not physically able to go
to war. but they can be of other
service to their country. Those
who desire trade can learn one
in the Army. SO make up your
mind at once young man and try

With good roads and peace in

Goldstone Buys Another Store

Samuel Goldstone, formerly
engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness in this city for many years,
purchased the F. M. Remington
general store at Culdesac last
week and has placed Felix Funke
in charge of the store. The store
is one of the pioneer business in
stitutions of Culdesac and the
stock invoices about $4,000. Mr..
Goldstone announces that the
stock will be materially enlarged
and that the new owner will as
sist in developing and upbuilding
that community in every way
possible. Mr.. Funke, who will
manage the store, is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Funke of this
place, and has had considerable
experience in the mercantile line.
He managed a store for Mr..
Goldstone at Orofno a couple of
years ago and was later employed
for several months in the bank at
Lapwai where he had complete
charge of the institution for
some time. He will undoubtedly
build up a nice trade for his store
at Culdesac,

Sold 240 Acre
Farm For $22,OOO.OO

Max Leischner recently sold
his 240 acre ranch near town, to-
gether with all the stock and ma
chinery, to his brother Joe, for
$22, 900. 1t is one of the splendid
ranches of this section and has a
new residence completed within
the past year or so, and many
other conveniences and substan-
tial improvements. Max leaves
this week for Lind, Wash, where
he will take charge of a 1900
acre grain ranch for a big COM
pany. He returned last week
from Lind where he entered into
contract with the company.
Max says he does not intend
leaving Camas prairie permanent
ly by any means, but wants to
get outside and see how other
sections run things. All of the
plowing and seeding on the big
ranch he goes to is done with a
caterpillar engine, and this with
the auto, practically eliminates
the horse, the same ais on the big

Trains Again Tied Up

The stormy weather of the.
first of the week abated some
what Tuesday and the railroad
crews managed to open the line
for traffic Wednesday and got
the passenger train down to Lew
iston and back again that eve
ming. During the night, how
ever, a strong wind came up
from the southwest, accompanied
by more snow, and filled the cuts
full of tightly packed drifts, eff
fectually blocking the road for
couple of days at least and posi-
bly, longer. The new snow plow
that was received the first of the
week, and which was expected
to easily take care of prairie
difficulties, got tightly stuck in a
cut beyond Fem yesterday morn
ing and force of shovelers had to
be sent out to dig it free. AS
every cut on the line is full of
snow it will take a great deal of
labor to dig out and it may be
several days before the line is
again opened to traffic. The new
plow might have been able to
cope with the situation had it
been received early in the winter,
for it is claimed it can throw the
snow clear of the right-of-way
and entirely out of the cuts, but
at this time with the cuts full of
snow except for a small passage
the width Of the cars it has no
chance and nothing short of a
rotary ploW or crew of shovel
ers can keep the track clear.
While the storms this winter
have been severe and the winter
season long drawn out, people Of
this section have little cause for
complaint. The present storm is
the worst the Dakotas have seen
since 1885 and the main lines
east and west are blockaded in
many places. A blockade on the
Union Pacific lines in Wyoming
this week tied up eighteen trains
for several days. Montana is ex
periencing severe cold and the
thermometer dropped 40degrees
in "a hours, Lewistown recording
sc degrees below zero. Th'
coast is also getting its share anC
six inches Of snow has fallen a
Grays Harbor, while back in thu
mountains all logging operations
have brought to a standstill.
Old Idaho is not such a baC
place to live in after all.

Shipping Idaho Grass Seed

Two years ago Sudan grass
seed in considerable quantities
was shipped from Iowa to Idaho,
but now the tide is turning, as is
evidenced by the fact that Vic
tor Olson, a farmer of Battle
ridge, near Sites, a few days
ago shipped to Iowa 760 pounds
of this grass seed which he had
grown on his farm this season,
and for which he received 60
cents per pound, or $522 for his
shipment, f. o. b. Sites. The
writer was unable to learn how
much land was required to pro-
duce the above quantity of seed,
but there is abundant evidence
that those who have undertaken
the production of clover, alfalfa,
timothy, beans, peas, beet and
other seeds have almost invari-
ably found a demand for their
seed grown in Idaho-and with
the possible exception of timothy,
the prices have been such as to
prove inviting to the seed grower.

One Crop Pays for Land

Sidney M. Brown, whose Blue
stem wheat took first prize at
the fair here last fall, made a
sale of his crop to the Cotton
wood Milling & Elevator COM
pany Saturday, receiving the
fine price of $1.64 per bushel for
all of the grain he had to spare.
At the time the grain was thresh-
ed last fall Mr.. Brown figured the
field of 81 acres had produced a
yield of 38 1-3 bushels per
acre but the warehouse
weight brought the yield up to a
trifie over forty bushels. Mr..
Brown sold 1151 bushels Satur-
day to the milling company and
received a check for $1888. 45.
He still retains forty bushels for
seed, worth $65.6O, making the
entire crop worth $1954, or a
trifie better than $63 per acre
from one crop. Mr.. Brown fig
ures this is better than bank
stock or investments in the best
get-rich-quick scheme that ever
struck the country, and we are
inclined to believe him.

to vote than any other class OF
men. The state should not be
without their vote in the selec-
tion of officers, and the men
should not be drafted into serv-
ice and have their vote taken
away from them.
The state should see to it that
each county in Mississippi have
a farm demonstrator and a home
science agent until the war is
over at least. Their efficiency in
the production and conserving
of food in the sixty counties in
the state that already have them
has amply shown.
Fifty per cent of the men in
some sections in the state who
have been examined for service
in the army have been turned
down ON account of physical un-
fitness. This shows that the
people is not what it sould be,
The health of our civilians and
soldiers will be factor in win
ming the war. There are proba-
bly, twenty five persons in Ne
shoba County who die each year
of preventable diseases.
Each county in the state
should have full time county
health officer. If this officer
could prevent the death of only
one of these persons year he
would earn his salary, for Ne
groes during slavery time sold
for as high as $500, and white
m ans life should be worth more
than negroes.
Let US insist on a special ses
sion of the legislature, and in
sist on legislation that will effect
the people directly and that will
help us to win the war.
