Death OF Former
Governor HaineS
HELD THURSDAY AT BOISE
Death Not Unexpected Had Been Sick For Long
Time. Governors Proclamation

John M. Haines, former gov
ernor of the state of Idaho, died
at o'clock Monday morning at
the family residence in Boise.
Death came after a lingering ill
ness of almost six months. Heart
and kidney trouble we're the
cause.
Death was not entirely unex-
pected for Mr.. Haines' condition
had been very serious and at one
time he was so low while the
Legislature was in session that
assembly adopted resolutions ex-
pressing the deep sympathy of
its members and expressing the
hope for his recovery. During
the fall of last year Mr.. Haines
was not we'll. He contracted a
bad cold which developed into
pneumonia. His heart was not
strong and complications set in
which resulted in death. The
funeral services we're held Thurs
day.
The following proclamation
was issued by Governor Alexan-
der in conformity with resolu-
tions passed by the state land
board and indorsed by elective
state officials:
Whereas, the sad news has
come to the knowledge of the Of
fcers of the state of Idaho that
our fellow citizen, ex-mayor- of
Boise and ex-governor of the
state of Idaho, the Honorable
John NJ. Haines, has been called
by Divine Providence across the
River into that realm, the home
of the dead, the inevitable lot Of
man;
Therefore, the officers of the
state government herein assem-
bled, send words of sympathy
and coincidence to his widow IN
behalf of the state of Idaho, and
we desire to pay to his earthly

spect due him who occupied such

Ternwood precinct, was in the
city Thursday making his report
to the board of registration. He
had a strenuous time on registra-
ton day, registering over one
hundred without any assistance.
To make his task harder his sup
I lies became exhausted and as
there was no way of getting ad-
ditiOnal ones to him he was
forced to write out both the cards
and the certificates in full, in
cluding questions and answers.
AS ten registrations an hour was
considered good work for a rapid
penman under normal conditions
some idea can be obtained of the
difficulties he labOred under.

FARMER DISPLAYS FLAG

b. A. Moule, residing on Harri-

flag in one of the most cOnspicu-
Gus places to be found. The
fag is placed at the top of a tam
arack tree seventy-five feet high
which stands in front of his resi-
dence. Mr.. Moule stripped the
tree of its limbs and it makes an
ideal flag staff. The flag was a
present to Mrs. Moule from Pro-
bate Judge Charles G. Cromwell
and is a large one. In its com
manding position it can be seen
even from the boats passing up
and down the river and makes a
very pretty picture above the

NO FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION HERE

After looking the matter over
carefully those who have been
planning on holding a celebration
here on the Fourth of July have
decided to drop the matter. They
found that the sentiment among
the business men and those who
would have to contribute the
money Necessary to have a good
celebration is that under the
present circumstances the money
could be put to much better use.
The cztiiens have already obli-
gated themselves for a Chautad~
qua here this summer and those
who signed the contract for that
especially feel that with the many
other calls on their money they
can not contribute 10 a Fourth
Of July celebration.

Big Registration
For War Service
EXCEEDS ESTIMATE in THE COUNTY
Very Few If Any ShirkeFS Here. Comparatively
Few Claim Exemptions

The county auditors Office was
busy Wednesday and Thursday
receiving and compiling the re-
turns from the registration and
making out report, which was
telegraphed in Thursday after
noon.
The registration was very sat-
isfactoy in this county, the num-
Der registered being a half larger
than the estimate made by the
government from the data on
hand. The estimate made by
the government for this county
was 525 while the number ac-
lually registered was 836. Near
ly every precinct in the county
registered more than the number
estimated.
Relatively the biggest increase
over the estimate was shown at
Fernwood, this being due in a
measure to the large number of
aliens there who could not vote
and whose names therefore did
not appear on the poll list. Bene-
wah and ChatcOlet precincts
dropped below the estimate. In
Benewah this was due to the fact
that a number of young men who
would have been subject to reg
ister had enlisted in the army.
AS whole the officials are well
pleased with the result. Al
&hough there may have been some
'eho escaped registering the num-
ler must be very small, not to ex-
ceed three or four in the entire
county OF those registered
fourteen were totally disabled
three hundred and forty-four
had relatives depending upon
them and one hundred and sew
enty-One were aliens. Seven of
the aliens registered were alien
enemies.
Out of the entire number reg
istered only one was a legislative
judicial officer. Three hundred
and ninety-three had dependent
relatives, were totally disabled
or their cards indicated probable
exemptions and two hundred and
seventy cards indicated no rea-
sons whatever for exemption. A
large number whose cards
showed that they had dependent
relatives or indicated probable
exemption made no claim for the
exemption.

The Purchase OF
Liberty Bonds
HAS BECOME A PATRIOTIC NECESSITY
If Our Allies Are Defeated the Entire Cost Of the
War will Fall On Us.

We are in this war and we
can't get out of it without getting
beaten badly or winning con-
clusively. 1t is a finish fight.
When a nation goes into a fin
ish fight with the tremendous
ly powerful Central European
powers it means to win or, los
ing, TO pay the war debts of a vic
torious Germany.
A nice mess we will be in
should The submarine starve out
England, should Russia conclude
a separate peace and release
three million veterans from the
eastern front, and should France,
thus exposed, utterly collapse.
The Central Powers would theU
release France and England and
our crushed trade only ON condi-
ton that the United States raise
huge levies as war indemnities
to pay Germany's debts.
1t doesn't matter how this
situation came about. The thing
now to do is to prevent a terrible
misadventure from overtaking
us. Americans want peace. We
can have peace now only in one
of two ways, by victory or defeat.
We have to pay huge sums as
the price of peace. We will pay
these sums to ourselves in the
form of national loans, or we
will pay them to the Central Pow
ers in the form of war levies in
case our allies are defeated and
our trade is posted for redemp-
ton only on Germany's terms.
When we start out to war with
the ruthless militarism of Ger
many, we had better not start out
empty handed. Every man wo-
man and child in the United
states has a formidable enemy
confronting him or her, a ruth
less enemy whose path we have
crossed, a trained, efficient, eX-
lpcrienced, desperate and vastly
powerful enemy. 1t is going to
take every dollar we can spare to
defeat this Dragon.
The American who desires to
lie down after having invited Ger
many to crush him will best do
so by avoiding his obligation to
subscribe to the Liberty Loan.
In this way he can see to it
that our soldiers shall lack food,
clothing, equipment and am
munition to just that degree. In
this way he can ensure the stag
nation of domestic industry and
his own loss. In this way he
can undermine the prestige of
the United States and of gov
ernment by democracy Tor which
this nation stands.
What American wishes him
self thus labeled? None. 1t is
the solemn duty of every man tC
| invest $50 or 500 or $500 in q
| Liberty Loan bond, an interest
bearing gold bond, a readily con-
vertible bond, a first mortgage
on the United States, and to pay
for it out of his additional saw
iugs.
