No paper can be published without home patronage, and every man is interested in keep ing up a home paper. If a rail road or factory is wanted, the newspapers are expected to work for it. If a public meeting is wanted for any purpose, the newspaper is called upon for a free notice. The newspaper must puff the schools and every thing else to advance the inter- ests of the business men of the place, and then give them a handsome notice when they pass away. And yet some of them do nothing to keep up home paper.

j. C. P. Canaan, the White Bird
freighter was in town this week. On
account of the deplorable conditions of
the roads he has been unable to do much
business this spring but is now getting
his stock up and in condition for active
work.
On account of a washout of about $50
feet of track near Jacques spur on the
Camas Prairie line, the train has been
considerably delayed of late, an hour TO
and hour and half delay resulting.
Repairs will probably be completed to-
day and the evening passenger will ar
river on time unless something else
happens.

GRAIN TO sEABoARD.

An order was issued yesterday and
served on all shippers, including the
grain men at Grangeville, by the o. w.
r. & N. stating they would not accept
for shipment any box cars loaded with
anything other than grain and that such
grain must be consigned to no firm on
individual other than G.. Guthrie of
Council Bluffs, Iowa. While it did not
state in the order who G. Guthrie is
from other sources it is concluded the
party is the purchasing agent of the
allied countries which if true and taken
in connection with the order would
mean that every effort is being made to
hasten to the Atlantic seaboard grain
supplies for shipment to our allies across
the sea. just how long this order will
be in force or whether it will extend to
other roads is matter of conjecture.

HOW TO GET THE SQUIRRELS.

Here is receipt taken from the Troy
News which it is said works havoc
among the squirrels. For the, benefit
of our farmer friends we are going to
publish it. The cost is slight and it is
said to be very effective.
Put two and one-half gallons of
water and one gallon of oats in five
gallon can and boil five minutes. Empty
into tub and mix with one and one
half gallons of dry oats and three quarts
of fine wheat chop, then stir thoroughly
with hoe. Add one-forth pound of
phosphorus and stir thoroughly again,
then add sufficient dry oats to take up
all the water. Add pint of salt and a
quart of sugar and stir again. 1t is
then ready for use.'

Not many years ago the country was
scandalized by the idea of "a billion
dollar congress" Last week congress
passed by a unanimous vote a special
deficiency bill appropriating nearly
eight billion dollars. This time there
is little disposition in the country at
large TO criticize congress for extrava
gance. but the unprecedented expendi-
ture has aroused serious considera-
ton and widespread alarm. II is in
deed necessary that We should serious
ly consider the distribution of the bur
den of these vast sums and how 70 re-
duce our personal expenses to meet
them. but the alarm over the future
is largely founded on a financial fall
lacy from which a little clear thinking
will relieve US.
The popular apprehension common
ly takes the form of such expressions
as these: The world is going bank
rupt. We are spending the wealth OF
the past and of the future, How can
We ever pay the enormous bills that
will be thrust upon US when the war
closest They will put an unbearable
burden upon our children's children. -
These are all false alarms. We can
answer the points IN q same crude
fashion: The world cannot 20 bank
rupt because it cannot borrow from
the other planets. We cannot spend
much Of the wealth of the past be-
cause il is not suitable for warfare.
We cannot spend any of the wealth OF
the future because il is not in exis-
tence. There Will be no unpaid bills
ar the close of the war. Our chill
dren's children will be poorer than
they might have been had there been
no war. but they will not owe US any
thing because We shall all be dead by
that time. AT the moment the peace

HOLLANDS DANGER ACUTE
Germans Reported Entrenehins
AIona Line Of Frontier.

g LONDON, Feb. 26.-Holland now un
derstands why two months ago Ger
many began massing troops near the
Dutch border and appreciates the
menace in widespread rumors that
these troops have actually construct.
ed trenches paralleling the line.
- The public indignation over the
E. sinking of seven Dutch ships by Ger
man submarines was tempered today
by realization Of the acute danger
with which the Netherlands are men,
: aced in these German forces across
the line.N
Dispatches from various cities to-
day declare there has been no abate-
= ment in popular anger at the sink
! ings, but q general disposition to
weigh this example OF German double
dealings against the consequences of
. sweep forward by those ever men
acing German troops. The German
! explanation as received by wireless
did not serve to reassure the public.
This explanation details negotiations
with Berlin by Dutch shippers for
safe conduct of the liners from Fal-
mouth after February o, when the
last restriction on submarinlngs was
received; how permission was grant
ed to February %, and how later the
German government announced the
: ships could leave with full safety"
on March II, or "only relative safe
ty" on February %.
The relative safety" for the 22d,
it was explained, was due to the fact
that IL was not certain all submar-
ines would receive wireless orders to
accord the Dutch ships passage.
Apparently" the Berlin statement
concludes, "the eight ships finally
took upon themesIN estthe risk of the
trip. If the Dutch news is correct,
that these eight ships have been des-
troyed-one is said to have struck a
mine near the English coast, while
the other seven, on the afternoon OF
February %, were destroyed on the
course indicated-it is to be deeply re-
GREETED, but the responsibility falls
upon the ship owners who preferred
to. send their ships under only COM
parative security on February 80, in
stead of waiting until March IT, at
which time full safety had been prom
ised."
