Madame Jusserand kindly consents,
at our request, to transmit u funds
to the other side. She will also take
charge of all D "A. R. contributions
made to ameliorate the narrowing con-

France. Her letter is as follows:
Dear Mrs. Scott: / shall be happy

to France such contributions as the
Daughters of the American Revolution

need scarcely express my. gratitude for
their generous intention.
Very sincerely yours,

Imagination falters at the horrors
which face the return Of these exiles
to territory devastated on their retreat
by the German army-not q roof, not
a chimney, not a door or window-sill,
wells poisoned or infected, not q tree,
not a hoe or a rake or a plow or a
spade, not one utensil for cooking, not
one ounce of seed for planting.
Imagine the despair Of these people,
but bend the knee in alteration Of the
courage, which from the ashes Of their
homes rings out-'Vive Ia France!"
Faithfully yours,
JULIA G. SCOTT,

Chairman, War Relief Service Com
mittee, N. s. D. A. r.
The remainder of the letter, l wish
wish to read to you personally at our
last regular meeting, June 10, 1917,
until Autumn. l wish to urge the at
tendance of every member. Are we as
leep! If SO, surely it is time to arise
from our lethargy, to our country's
need of our service. We must serve
no less than. the brave young men
whom we are sending to protect US at
the front.
Another phase of work which we
must Immediately consider, is the help
we will give, working hand in hand
with the other secular organizations
of Greenwood, in knitting for our sail
ors, thus helping the work Of the Navy
League.
There are other things! Can we. for
get them. or neglect them?
Faithfully yours,
ALICE CAIN GUESS, Regent.

COTTONWOOD GIRLS ENTER
TANNED.

Wednesday evening a crowd of Cot
tonwood girls motored over to acquaint
themselves with the work of the
Grangeville Girls First Aid, with the
view of organizing a First Aid in Cot
tonwood.
They were met at the Red Cross
headquarters by the Grangeville First
Aid Girls and from there went to the
Sasenbery lawn where DR.. Rains and
the First Aid Girls gave demonstra-
tions of bandaging in different forms
The Cottonwood girls showed intense
interest throughout the demonstra.
tiOnS.
After applying ten or fifteen differ
ent forms of bandages the girls gave
an interesting exhibition Of drill work
The lawn was electrically lighted
and strung with red, white, and blue
streamers and flags. A beautiful ~
foot flag was draped between two trees
and formed the background for the
refreshment table which was decorated
In red peonies and white snow balls
Red and white brick ice cream and
cake were served during which time
music was furnished by victrola
After refreshments fancy dance and
piano solos were rendered. Dancing
was also enjoyed by all and the Cot

Kidder-Harris Vote Bonds for $4,000.

The bond election held in the Kid
Harris highway district, which
includes the town of Kooskia carried
by the overwhelming vote of 151 for
the 20 against. This election called
for bonds to the amount of $31 600 for
the construction of the Missoula cut
og In which the state and nation CO.
operate. 1t also provides for a wagon
bridge across the Middle Fork $1,000
for road up Winona hill; Kidder
ridge $1,000; Harris ridge $500 Koos
kia Kamiah road $4,000; the latter
being section of Missoula cutoff.
The results of these three elections.
all In Idaho county, goes to show that
the sentiment Of the people Is strong
~ in favor of good roads, and that
they are ready to put up the money
to get the roads. The Grangeville
workers felt the Importance OF the
election, fully realizing that the de-
feat of the bonds meant the loss of
the state highway to this community,
and they worked from the time the
polls opened until they closed, not let
ting up even when they realized that
things were coming their way, and
that accounts for the overwhelming
majority In favor of the bonds. Too
much credit cannot be given the Civic
club In the work accomplished, the
ladies working with as much zeal and
energy as did the men. J. p. .Eimers
and Frank McGrane were on the job
every minute of the day, and they
certainly made first-class team at
the business of directing and keeping
tab of the voters who had not been
brought in. The work was SO well
done that only nine voters whose
names were on the polling list failed
to vote, excepting some twenty who
were away at outside points. That's
some record.

That Idaho county has done itself

This Is In excess or the average SUR

The national fund called for was $780,
100000. and at last reports this had
been over run $14,000,000. At this

amount received at Grangeville liz $0,-

westside by Cottonwood lis $3,330.O0.
This latter sum, 1t Is understood, has
been sent to Lewiston, and will not
pass through the hands OF the treasur-

total collection for the county, round

sum Of $9,S9276, with sufficient out

hundred dollars have been raised at

BONDS FOR HIGHWAY CARRY
BY OVERWHELMING VOTE
AT ALL THREE POINTS
Inc Most Heartenng Results Ever Recorded In Idaho County
Puts Us On the Map and In the Pro-
gressive List

Inc Grangeville highway district at
iast tuesdays bond election carried
the S35,0OO bond issue for the north
ana south highway by vote of 65S
Ior, to Ii against, thus putting itself
on record as an active unit In good
road construction. The vote as recorded
will be the best advertisement this
community has ever sent out to the
outside world. This Is a matter Of
statewide moment, and will be noted
Dy every community in the state that
Is looking toward the construction of
Detter roads for its people and visitors
10 travel over and will be quoted In all
the bond elections that will be held.
This Is the best move for this COM
munity and all Idaho county that has
ever been made. 1t means eventually
the construction and maintenance BY
the state of between 80 and 100 miles
or standard highway in the county
which will connect us directly with the
capital of the state, and all the good
towns enroute to the south line of the
state. 1t is impossible to estimate the
accumulating benefits which will come
from this first move In the county for
cooperation with the state in the great
scheme of highway construction.
White Bird Bonds Carry BY Large
Majority.
White Bird is not one whit behind
in the progressive move, having car
ried her bond issue Of $4,000 for the
north and south road by a vote of
141 to IL, and the bonds for $4,000
for the construction of the bridge
across the Salmon river between the
White Bird and Deer Creek highway
districts, by vote or 129 to %. The
latter proposition was held in doubt
for a time, but on election day with
good rustling on the part of the work
ers sentiment favorable to the PROPOSE
tion was rapidly created, with the graf
flying result recorded.
