ORDERS SEIZURE OF GOLD.
Ornaments Of Jewelry of Westphalians
Requisitioned by Kaiser.

ornaments or JeWeiFy OF "eStP1dhdnS
Requisitioned by Kaiser.
Amsterdam, July 2S.-A frontier cor
respondent of the Telegram reports
all privately owned gold ornaments
and jewelry in Westphalia have been
reQuisitioned this week and must be
handed over TO the banks.
The daily recurring public notices,
printed in conspicuous type in Ger
man newspapers, entreating citizens
to aid the fatherland by giving it their
gold. evidently is insufficient Of pro-
ductive results.
The Weser Zeitung of Bremen pub
fishes a renewed appeal complaining
especially that the well-to-do public
still fails to realize the situation and
that all gold must be handed in.
The newspaper cites examples OF
members Of the German imperial and
royal princely houses sacrificing their
gold and jewelry and says competent
authorities calculate that three to four
hundred million gold coins are being
obstinately boarded in Germany while
the value of gold ornaments is estimat-
ed at billion marks.
The Weser Zsitung says the public
often asks whether gold can not be
loaned instead Of given to the German
Imperial Bank. The answer is no. be-
cause the law demands gold as cover
for paper or coin. The public is again
urged to yield jewels of all kinds which
realize good prices abroad and are
most useful for credit purposes there.

The sammee. Are In France.

There's cheer that shakes the jewels OF
the early morning dew,
And the bright sun flashes brighter IN
the land Of the poilu.
And exu1tation flashes in the toilins
soldiers glance
As the news run down the trenches that
the Sammees are in France.
There's another flag unfurling to the
sunny Gallo sky,
New day stars in the armament to
thrill the passers-by,
Across the desert he has made the Mad
Hun looks askance
AS his perfect secret service" brea thes:
1.-THE Sammees are In France!"
Twenty, thirty. forty thousand, hand
ful at the most,
But the certain pledge and promise OF
an an-avenging host
With Liberty the watchword OF their
crushing, sure advance;
For the widows prayers are answered
and the Sammees are in France.
We were somewhat slow in starting
our brothers, It Is true,
But now Wen pay with all we have
the debt we owe to you
With these, our greatest treasure. best
inheritance
And we're just as glad as you are that
the Sammees are in France.

CONGRESSMAN GREEN INTRO
DucEs BILLS TO GIVE AID TO
soLlDERs' FAMILIES.
WOULD PROVIDE MONTHLY
ALLOWANCE UP TO $50
One Bill Would Put Dependents on
Government Pay Roll, While Another
Would Permit Families to Draw Part
Of Soldiers Pay Direct From Wash
ington-Married Men in Service.
tBy E. G. Dougherty.l

Washington, July 2S.-Haying in
! mind the need of providing for the de-
pendent families of young men VINO
have enlisted in the regular army. In
the national guard, and who will be
called in the draft, Congressman Green,
of the Ninth Iowa district, has intro
duced two bills in the house.
One bill would provide sum month
ly, up to $50 month for the dependent
family of any soldier in one OF the
three armies to be sent to the HELD
The other bill would permit families
of soldiers to draw part of the SOL
dier's pay from the war department
This latter is designed particularly to
aid wives and mothers OF men sent to
France and to avoid the delay and in
convenience of requiring the soldier to
send this monthly remittance from
France.
Presses Dependent Family Measure.
The bill to authorize the war depart
ment to provide for dependent families
of soldiers is the one Congressman
Green expects to press hardest. Wneh
the troops were on the border montnly
payments were made to families OF
men who submitted proof that their
families needed aid. These payments
ran from $40 TO $50 a month and We're
made from a special appropriation Oh
several millions set aside for the pur-
pose by congress.
After the men returned from the
border congress cut off this apprcprla :
ton and the war department mas No
present authorization to pay support
money to dependents of men at the
front.
Army Pay Is Doubled.
Congress partially remedied the mat
ter by doubling the pay OF the army,
The war department later instructor
recruiting officers not to accept men
with dependents. and at the same ti'ne
ma tional guard officers were authorized
to permit the discharge of men in theif
commands who had dependent reia-
tiyes.
Nevertheless there are many men
with dependents left in the army. ION
gresham Green insists. He has nao
many cases brought to his attention
from his own district where young EEL
lows have enlisted in the regulars anu
already have gone to France VINO hase
LEFT dependents behind. These families
have appealed to Mr.. Green for AID.
Refuse to Claim Exemptions.
There are many men in the guafo
also who hesitated to ask discharge
while the nation was at war altno
their families needed their supper.
Mr. Green believes there viii De many
men taken for the draft army who are
practically the sole support Of depend
ent families solely because these men
viii refuse TO claim exemption.
1t is 10 reach all these cases that
CONGRESSMAN Green will urge congress
TO act. His bill would make II neces-
sary in each case to submit proof thar
there was real need in families let
behind. Once this need were shown
the monthly payment would be avail
able. II there was no need or suner-
ing there would be no need OF drawing
on the appropriation.
It is likely the Green bill will hnd
strong support.

OFFICIALS sUBJEcTTo DRAFT.
May Be Exempted Only When Terms
Can Not Be Filled by Appointment.

Des Moines. July 2S.-Elective coun-
ty and municipal officials are subject to
exemption from draft only if their
unexpired terms can not be fulfilled by
appointment" according to an opinion
given by Maj. Hugh 8. Johnson, judge
advocate executive officer, in cases
submitted by Adit, Gen. Guy E. Logan.
Another section Of the opinion re-
cetved today by the. adjutant general
points out that members OF local boards
are not subject from exemption to la
bHity from draft and another clause
relating to marriage as grounds for
exemption says:
"The rules and regulations do not
prescribe the amount Of income derived
from the wife's property which would
bar the husband from discharge and
the question is one for the board to de-
eide whether IN view Of all circum-
stances the wife Is or is not supported
by the labor OF her husband and II she
is not supported by his laabors he is not
entitled to discharge by the mere fact
that he Is a married man"

Wheat rose in sympathy with corn.
Trading, however, was very light. After

In later dealings the market gathered
fresh strength especially for the July

Oats.
Shorts and commission houses were

A PROCLAMATION

Estate of Idaho, Executive Depart
ment).
Whereas, June 9th, 1917, by virtue
of authority vested in Woodrow Will
son, the president of the United
States, was set apart for the pur-
pose of registering the young men
of our land between the ages of 81
and 30, and
Whereas, On said date, the patri-
otto sons of our state obeyed the
mandates of said proclamation and
by their action showed their devo-
ton to their country by voluntary
registering, in order that they might
be drafted into the armies of the
United States and permitted to shed
their blood for the cause of right
eousness, democracy and humanity,
and
Whereas, On said date, the spon-
taneous outburst of the young men
was such that the heart of every
citizen was glad and new hopes ia
ken that the country was safe in
the hands of our young patriots and
thereby the gratitude of the nation
is consecrated to their noble action,
and
Whereas, In this free country of
ours, equal opportunities of life, lib
erty and pursuit of happiness exist,
and these privileges carry with it
also duty, which no man should be
allowed to shirk,
Now, therefore, l, Moses Alexan-
der, governor of the state of Idaho,
hereby offer a reward of twenty
five dollars ($25.OO) for informa-
ton given by any one not an of
ficer charged with the performance
of duty, that will lead to convic-
ton in a court of competent juris-
diction of any man between the ages
of twenty-one and thirty years, in
elusive, who has not registered for
military duty in accordance with the
act of congress and the proclamation
of the president of the United States
made in accordance Herewith.
Said reward will be paid by de-
ficiency warrants drawn upon the
Treasurer of the state of Idaho. ANY
information furnished will be treated
as confidential and the people of
this state are asked to cooperate in
the enforcement of this law so that
one man may not be compelled to
offer his life for his country, and
his neighbor be allowed to shirlx
the responsibility and thereby enjoy
immunities to which he is not en-
titled, and thus destroy the essence
of our free equality be-
fore the law.

The assessment rolls for 1917 are
now completed. If you have property
for which you have not received an
assessment schedule showing the val
uation, we would be glad to advise
you upon request the valuation on
such property.
If you will call at the office or
write us we will be glad to give you
any valuations of any property in the
county for comparisons that you
might want to make.
If assessment is not satisfactory,
application for adjustment may be
made to this office any time before
June 25.
The board of equalization will be
in session from Monday, June rs, to
Monday, July 25.
We have but one aim in view and
that is: To assess all property on
an equitable basis; further than this
this office has nothing whatever to
do with fixing the amount of taxes
that you will be required to pay.
That will depend upon the levies
made by your school district, town
council, and other levying bodies of
which the assessor is not a member.

At the dance given at the Nc
Cormick schoolhouse in the Curley
Creek district the evening of June
18th, it was decided to hold some kind
of a celebration on July Fourth and
preliminary arrangements were made.
The dance was attended by about
10 people, Chapel Wright and Fran
els Mccormick furnishing the music.
They were assisted by three soldier
boys who are on guard duty near
LENA. Before they left the soldier
boys sang several selections and were
heartily encored. The ladies of the
district furnished a delicious lunch
which was enjoyed at the midnight
hour.
The Curley Creek folks also en-
joyed a pleasant dance the evening
of June 9th and it is planned to hold
these dances regularly throughout the
summer.
Miss Mayfield is still at the
Schlette home acting in the capacity
of a nurse for Mrs. Schlette who is

few weeks ago. Miss Mayfield will
probably remain to take Gin the
