mot. ONE STACKER THERE
Father and Five Sons of New Jersey
Are All in Army in War With
: Germany.

Verona, N. J.-No one would accuse
Thomas Elston of this place and his
family Of eight of being a group of
slackers. The father, who is now an
! American citizen, was born in Devon
shire, England, and served six years
in the artillery branch Of the British
army. Too old for active service in
the land Of his adoption, he has Joined
the Verona Home battalion.
: The family consists Of five boys and
three girls. The girls are all married
and rearing families. The boys are
following in the footsteps Of their
father. Francis, the eldest son, served
two years with the British army in
South Africa during the Boer war,
while Frederick, the next son, also
served in the Boer war and is now
somewhere in Saloniki with the Royal
Engineer corps. y.-'-''-"r-' -.""-
!: William, the third son, was about to
enlist at the beginning Of the war,
but was prevented from doing so by O
broken leg. The father has not heard
from him for months and believes he
is now at the front with the British
forces. The fourth son, George, en-
listed in the aerial corps and is now
at the western front in France.
Gilbert is the only son whose home
is With his father here. When troops
were ordered to the Mexican border
he enlisted in Company K, Fifth New

Not since the flood itself has human
ity faced the woe that hangs like a
pail over the earth today. The moth
ers Of all nations are asking, with
streaming eyes and breaking hearts,
as they send their sons into the welter
: Of world-war; "To what end, o God?"
So must the mother Of him who died on
the cross have questioned, in the bit
terness Of her soul, as she looked up
ward past the dying Christ, to the
darkening skies Of Calvary. And as
Mary knew, even in her suffering, that
back of that darkness shone the great
est light humanity has ever known, so
the mothers Of today know that back
Of their supreme sacrifice shines the
glory and joy Of world-freedom.

The Balanced Ration.

We hear much Of the balanced ra-
ton, and it is most important when
you are feeding COWS and chickens.
But there is very little fear. that the
average healthy human being will fail
to get an adequate amount and prop
er and balanced proportion Of the diff
ferent kinds of food if he is given
good table and a free choice. There
is no poorer economy than trying to
skimp on food.-Washington Post.

Soldiers without Uniforms.

Washington's armies, when they had
uniforms, wore the familiar "Continen-
tails" of buff and blue or gray, but regi-
ments from different states had for the
most part uniforms of their own. The
majority wore whatever clothes would
protect them without regard for uni
formity. One part Of the American
troops who received the surrender Of
CORVALLIS at Yorktown were in uni
form, but the most Of them still wore
rags Of homespun.

GERMANS GET BOGUS PAPERS
Fury of British Drive Made lmpossI.
BILE to Continue Publication OF
the Genuine.

London.-War papers issued by
German armies at the front are bring
ing high prices. The fury of the Brit
ish drive has made 1t impossible to
continue their publication and scarcity
Of numbers issued has resulted In as
high as 800 marks ($60) being offered
for single copy.
Printers throughout the empire are
working on counterfeit reproductions,
many of which are so near the orig
lnals that it is impossible to tell them
apart. Although warnings have been
given not to buy the bogus copies,
thousands are being sold as orlginaia

Sparrows Found Necessary.

The sparrows rear two broods
year in Holland and are voracious eat
ers. So they clear away crowds Of
insect pests against which man would
be powerless. This was found out in
those districts where ruthless massacre
Of sparrows had taken place, and
where promptly the insect plague as
sumed such proportions that all chem
ical and other human methods proved
of no avail against it. Sparrows had
again to be introduced to cope with
the nuisance.

LABOR PREPAREDNESS POLICY
Approves In General Terms, Leave De-
tails to Conference.

Washington, March 1.-THE execu-
tive council of the American Federation
of Labor completed tonight a general
statement on organized labor's attitude
toward national defense problems, to be
presented tomorrow to a conference of
more than 100 labor leaders for ratifi-
cation.
The statement, drawn up by the
executive council, which has been in
session here for three days, is said to
express approval of military, naval and
economic preparations for defense in
general terms. Any specific declara-
tons on such problems as universal
military service are to be left to the
conference, and some leaders here to-
day express the belief that there would
be no action taken on details of any sug-
gested national defence programs.
More than three million wage earn
ers will be represented at the meeting,
which was called by President Samuel
Gompers, and is said to be the first
gathering ever held in the country to
formulate labor's attitude toward de-
Tense measures.

JOE JONES BACK FOR VISIT.

Joe Jones arrived last week from
lower California where he has been with
hunting party of Eastern men and will
spend some little time visiting with
his mother, Mrs. Hender. Since leaving
here number of years ago for the
Wyoming section, he has gone into the
business of directing hunting parties
through the Big Hole Basin country
and other well known big game sections
of the west. He has built up mighty
fine business and at the home ranch of
several thousand acres has summer
resort and camping grounds which
provide Accommodations for a large num-
Der of people. Sixty-five head of horses
are used by Joe and his brother,
Monte, who is associated with him in
the business, and the payroll during the
busy season for guides, etc. runs better
than hundred dollars day. The sea
son opens in May and closes in Novem-
Der during which period the boys ere
kept mighty busy some times having as
high as eight or ten patries out at one
time. Each year they mi Ike the trip to
New York and sign up business for the
coming season. Joe and Monte recently
returned from such trip and while
East signed up over $4,000 worth of
business. Their reputation as guides
has SO spread as to keep their services
in demand and they now have most of
their time signed up for the next two
years. Both the boys are Grangeville

mildly to state this city is mighty proud

TARIFF BOARD ABOUT CHOSEN
Prof. Taussig Of Harvard, Authority ON
Economics, Be Chairman

Washington, March 11.-President
Wilson practically has completed Sc
lection of the tariff commission and the
nominations probably will be sent to
the senate during the present special
session-possibly tomorrow.
Prof. Frank w. Taussig of Harvard
university, who will be chairman of the
commission, has obtained leave of
absence from Harvard until September,
1918. He is an authority on economics
and has written extensively on the
tariff.
Daniel C. Roper, another member ex-
pected to be nominated by the president,
has had practical experience in deal
ing with the tariff. After serving in
the South Carolina legislature he be-
came clerk of the senate interstate COM
merce committee and then became iden-
titled with the census bureau in the
collection of cotton statistics, making a
trip to Europe to study the question.
When the present tariff law was framed
he was connected with the house
ways and means committee as an au-
thority on statistics. Until last fall he
was first assistant postmaster general.
William Kent, member of the
house. until March, probably will be
another member. He was born in
Chicago but has lived most of his life
in California. He has been extensively
identified with banking and other forms
of business. He was elected to one con-
gress as an insurgent republican and
for two terms as an independent, but
was not a candidate for reelection last
year. During the last campaign he sup
ported President Wilson and headed the
Wilson independent league.
! Among the other men under considera.
alton is E. P. Costigan of Denver, a
lawyer. He was originally a republi.
can, but in 1912 and again in 1914 was
the progressive candidate for governor
of Colorado. He is looked upon as one
of the founders of the progressive party
in Colorado.
-, E. E. Pratt, chief of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce of the
commerce department, also has been
mentioned in connection with a place on
commission, as has Miss Ida Tarbell, a
writer. 1t is understood, however, that
Miss Tarbell refused to consider q
position.
The commission will be composed of
six members, not more than three of
whom can belong to one party. Its
duties will be to study all phases of the
tariff question and report to congress

DOES LIFE INSURANCE PAY?
IDAHO STATE LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY

Boise, Idaho, March 7, 1917.
Mr.. r. 3. Kadinc,
Grangeville, Idaho.
Ny dear Mr.. kading:
Re Death Loss No. So, Anton s. NuNoll
We are sure you will recall writing
this farmer, who formerly resided at
Greencreek, Idaho, policy for $4,000 90
Ordinary Life on March /, 1915 His
recent death and our recognition of TIE
policy as a claim makes us feel you
will be interested in the details of the
case.
Here was a rugged man in the prime
of life Gage Az, who had never had
days sickness, with one of the most
remarkable family histories that ever
came to our attention. He had eight
living brothers and sisters, all in good
health, and ranging in age from 46 to
81, our policyholder being the youngest
of nine children. His belief that he
would live to a ripe old age was APP
parently well founded.
Mr.. Nuxoll paid two premiums on his
policy, a total of $32l.90, and died very
suddenly three days before his third
premium became due. Cause of death
was Acute Appendicitis. He passed
away at st. Ignatius, Montana, where
he had recently resided.
There are many interesting phases to
this remarkable case and we feel that
mention of it to your clients will
materially assist you in your insurance
work, since Mr.. Nuxoll was a substan-
tial well-known citizen of Idaho county.
The far-seeing man of affairs today
looks upon adequate life protection as
a necessity and none can say how short
their span of life may be.
Very truly yours,
Edw. 8. Chadwick,
General Manager.
The beneficiary under this policy has
been paid the 100000 by the Idaho
State Life Insurance Co.

Those who do not belong to the en-
campment branch of the /. o. o. f. will
wish they did Saturday evening, when
Camas Prairie Encampment No. Is will
have large class of candidates for the
three degrees.
The encampment branch features the
social side of its work and the members
always have an uproariously good time
when they have large class to take
through the degrees. The teachings of
the degrees, however are essentially
serious, and these degrees embody some
of the most beautiful work in all Odd
Fellowship.
Six of the candidates will come from
Cottonwood, accompanied by Geo. NJ.
Robertson, grand master of the Grand
Lodge of Idaho, and a number of other
members of the Cottonwood Encamp-
ment. It is planned to begin the
encampment work Immediately after
adjournment of the subordinate lodge,
about $3.50 and to continue until no
candidates are left to work upon. A
fine lunch will be served about the time
the members are getting hungry and
sleepy. All members of the encampment
branch are urged to attend.
