Farmers who think that there will
be 40 demand for potatoes this fall
and winter are entertaining foolish
fears, ia the opinion of Harvey ALI
red, director Of the state farm
markets bureau at Boise. In a
bulletin issued last week be advises
the potato growers to hold their stock

this money he left the state. AL
though warrant was issued for his
arrest he could not be located
Several years passed aud the incident
was almost forgotten. The other day
the sheriff Of Canyon county received

municated with the officials in Cali
fornia. He answered the letter, but
California Uflicer was on hand when
Ash called for the letter, and he was
arrested. Now he will have to face
i the old charge.
State Treasurer John w. Eagleson
believes that II more buslness-like

bank, the money loaned by which
seems to look better to many of the
farmers of Idaho than the money
loaned from the school fund OF the
state. He SO states In a communica-
ton to Governor Alexander. WithiI
the last few months $50, 900 worth OF
state l5ans have been liquidated by

Ceur d'Alene.-Following are
the six Kootenai county men certi-
fed by the county exemption board
to fill the first quota of six:
854-Claude Waddell, Rathdrum
7S3-Fred VIM. Shaner, Post
Falls.
s37-Chester VIM. Pistorius,
Rathdrum.
337--Wm. Ed Reynolds,
Harrison.
27s-Harry B. Fuller, Harrison.
so7-Iohn Casper Dewald, Ceur-
d'Alene.
The certihcations of these six
were made following the examina-
ton, Aug. IA, of John Dewald and
Samuel John Mcdonald, OF Rose
Lake. The first five are from the
initial ten called for examination,
but the board was advised that ten
per cent more than the allotment
were to be certified, in this case
one extra man, to care for any
shrinkage through appeals.
Steve Lambert OF Gibbs, and
Thomas Scott, of Spirit Lake, were
also ordered to come before the
board last Friday, but did not
appear. Lambert is at Seattle, and
has requested that his examination
be transferred there. Scott has
asked to be examined at Newport,
Wash.
Waddell, the first Kootenai
county man to go, held the third
number drawn in this county, the
first two being exempted because
OF dependents. No. 783 was drawn
as S, No. 837 as 7, No. 337 as s,
No. a7s as 10 and No. 5o9 as II.
William Edward Reynolds and
Harry B. Fuller, both of Harrison,
are married men, and claimed ex
emption on this score. Neither
has children to support. :.
Pistorius and Dewald could moi
pass stringent eyesight tests, bu
they were accepted under ruling
that minor eye sight defects, where
the vision was not such as to in
capacitate him from ordinary work
should not be made a ground foI
discharge. Men so passed will bs
placed into such service, probably
as non combatants, as the govern
ment sees fit after having reexam
ined them at the mobilization
camps.

There is more Catarrah in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For q great many years doctors pro-
nounced ii a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven Catarrah to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires c0nsti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrah
Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer n hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

EXCHANGE NOTES
From the Tyndall Tribune.

From the Tyndall Tribune.
Ben Hughes came down from Ka-
doka Tuesday and sold his %threshing
rig to James Uherka. Ben has been
the veteran thresher of this territory
for many years and it will not seem
likeefall not to have him among US.
Miss Mary Plattner has been en-
ployed to again teach the Cottonwood
Grove school the coming year. This
is one of the most progressive schools
in the county and the board has given
her a substantial advance in salary.
The high water mark in land prices
for Bon Homme county was reached
this week when Ed. Gleason purchased
the Louis Chladek eighty acre farm
just south of town. The consideration
was $22, 600. 90 or $275 per acre.
This place has the best of improve
ments including a lagre orchard and
an ideal feed yard. Mr.. Chladek, we
understand, has not fully de-ided as
to whether he will leave Tyndall or
build on his land across the road from
the home place.
A good sized audience of citizensao of
Bohemian lineage listened to an elo-
quent address given at the opera
house Tuesday evening by Volta Ben
esh, the representative of the Bohem-
ian Alliance in the United States.
Mr.. Benesh made a strong appeal to
his listeners for financial support for
gaining the lost independence of Boz
hemia. In spite of his prolonged
sneeeh he held his as;aa;e1n spell
bound as he related his experiences
as an unwilling victim of Austrian
militarism at the front in Galicia
where he spent a year before becom-
ing physically disqualified and eventu-
ally escaped to the United States,
the land of the free. In conclusion
he paid a glowing tribute to Pres.
Wilson and made a strong appeal to
young men of Bohemian parentage
not to hesitate in joining tie colors of
the greatest country in the world and
to fight for freedom and democracy
in Europe.
