F. CROSSE

A homestead contest is on trial be-
fore Frank T. Disney that is of more
than passing iterest- 1t is an after
math of the trial here some years ago
of John Fleming for murder. John
Fleming was a homesteader on the
Minidoka project about seven miles
west of Rupert, which at that time was
in Lincoln county. As a result of the
trial Fleming was sentenced to be hang
ed and his wife was sent to the insane
asylum at Blackfoot. During these
troubles of the Flemings the homestead
was disposed of and came into posses
sion of a Mr.. Zenke who still holds it.

SH0SHONE STUDY CLUB
HOLDS MEETING

Inc Snoshone Study Club met at the
Parish House Friday afternoon, Febru-
airy twenty third, with eighteen ladies
present. This meeting was one of the
most interesting of the year, and much
credit is due the members of the his
torical committee who had charge of
the program. The roll call-"Famous
American Men of Today" brought out
names of James Whitcomb Riley, Lu-
ther Burbank, Thomas A. Edison, Ma
jor General Frederick Funston, George
Schroeder, of Rupert, Idaho, and others.
The topic, Historical Monuments of
America was skillfully developed by
Mrs. A. Vredenberg. along with patri-
otic lines. The program was opened
with singing o f"America" by the Club,
and closed with, Don't Bite the Hand
That's Feeding You" sung by Mrs. Ed
Gooding, Miss Dorothy Baker, and Mrs.
NJ T. Whitenack, Mrs. Archie Bowler,
and Mrs. Paul Haddock, with Mrs J. O.
Baker at the piano.
The Historical Monuments of
America" were presented by Mrs. vre-
denburg in a series of word pictures,
which were made more vivid by her
reading, supplemented by cop
les of a number of excellent photo
graphs. In connection with one of
these. the Alamo, attention was called
to the desperate battle fought there
n 1886 by a handful of Texans and
United States soldiers. all of whom
were killed, which caused the army Of
Texans to get into the battle of San
Jacinto with the slogan, Remember
the Alamo!r Mrs. Vredenburg con
tinued: "A few days ago the body of
Major General Funston lay in state in
The Alamo from which, in future, we
shall have another and gentler reason
to Remember the Alamo"
After an excellent paper read by Mrs.
E. R. Helm, on Historical Homes of
America" Mrs E. H. Miles read an in
-eresting article on Famous Women of
America" whose service to the country
mas been immortalized in marble and
bronze. But it is impossible to even
.opch upon many of the good things Of
'ered at this spiritual feast, so we must
iesist.

Shoshone, March 1, 1917.
Dear Editor:-
The world is passing thru a crisis
that will not repent itself in 100 years
to come. We hardly realize the awful
conditions that exist. War clouds hang
over the country and God knows what
the outcome will be. 1t is for Ameri-
cans now to exhibit what they are
made of. 1t is for you of foreign birth
to show that the teachings of your
parents are still safeguarded with your
breast. That wherever you go, wher-
ever you make your home be loyal and
true. Do not, thru false. foolish sym
pathetic acts unbecoming a citizen Of
this great country You do yourself
and nobody any good and on the other
hand do considerable harm. AS any
act of that kind would be regarded
treachery and my German friends If
you should get yourself in trouble in
that line I would not crook my little
finger to help you, but gladly would
pull the rope when the nooze is placed
over your head.
This is our country; let US stand up
like men and defend it and protect it
to the last ditch. and if you cannot do
this get off of the face of the earth,
because you will not be missed, not
even in your own home The people
that have come to this country and
become citizens of this great nation
need more than ever the good will and
of all Americans born.
When the trouble with Mexico started
and the call for volunteers was sound
ed I would not let my boy go for gooo
reasons. Here 1 was criticised even
in public places. but fortunate by men
that belong to the I. W. w. class-men
that are not even loyal to their own
families, and I wondered how far their
oyalty extended to their country. Let |
is forget all such unpleasant occur
inces. Let us protect and preserve
what those old soldiers accomplished.
Who do not realize to this day what
great service they gave this country /
n short let us be Americans.
When diplomatic relation was broken
,ff with Germany. on the same date I
old my son that there was no restric
ion and that he could go to war
whenever he was ready to go.
