GOVERNMENT REQUIRES CHECKING
OFELMORE COUNTY'S RESOURCES

One of the busiest offices in the
county building at the present time is
that of County Assessor Thomas
Trathen. Since the outbreak Of the
war the government has taken active
steps to not only mobilize the fighting
forces of the country but also to take
inventories along agricultural and
food production lines A large part
of the work of taking a census of the
agricultural work. workers and sup
plise of the various counties falls to
the county assessors and it has been
found necessary for the assessor and
his two deputies, Chris Hendricks
and Miss Sue Evans to work over
time to handle the work for Elmore
county.
One of the biggest jobs which is
now being carried out at the asses
sor's office for the government, is
the gathering of the agricultural data
of Elmore county. This data is
gathered from every rancher and far

mer, giving full details as to crops,
machinery and general agricultural
work. All this data must be gather
ed and forwarded to Washington by
the first of August.
Al the present time the county
assessor is also engaged in securing
a list of the number of threshing
machines in the county, the names
of the men operating them and
other details as to the kind of power
used and the amount of work which
can be accomplished, All this kind
of work is being carried out at the
instigation of the federal govern
ment through state agencies.
The layman little realizes the
steps taken by the government in
every walk of life for war prepara-
tions, Direct military preparation
such as the furnishing of arms and
men is brought to the attention of
the people but besides this a great
of work is being done along
a thousand other important lines.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN EUROPE
ARE CURIOSITY TO FRENCH PEOPLE

, is a lion cub, who occupies a corner
in the camp of certain regiment
The cub was presented as mascot
| by American residents in Paris. He
was young and playful and harmless
a short time ago, but is growing
astonishingly and is veritable terror
to the townspeople and now source
of amusement to the soldiers, many
of whom bear scratches to testify to
the nature of his playfulness.
An even more strenuous course of
training is in force here than at the
original camp near the landing point
of the troops. The men work a mini
mum of eight hours daily; the officers
from 2 to 16. In addition they take
tremendous hikes to get into condi-
tion. Here and there one falls by the
wayside from exertior, but the ma
iority are standing the gait in a way
that speaks volumes for the efficiency
of the system.
Plans are rapidly developing for
regular and constant training in CO.
operation with the French troops en-
camped in this district, whose long
experience has been placed at the dis
posal of the newcomers. The French
and American headquarters are in the
same building and there is constant
cooperation between the two forces,
which will soon be so well developed
that the Americans not only will have
guidance and instruction from French
officers, but virtually there will be
an experienced and trained mentor
ing mentors, too, for the French are
80 enthusiastic about the Americans
that they even march about with
American flags attached to their
bayonets.
Another not altogether happy fea
ture of the Inauguration of the train
ing camp was the confusion into
which the telegraph Office was thrown
when it found itself confronted with
numerous newspaper dispatches to
handle in place of occasional brief
messages. The length of the dispat-
ches-even though they were ali too
brief completely upset the operator
at the beginning, and their unfamili-
arity with the English language in
creased the difficulties The situa-
ton, however, is improving every day.
AS a tribute to the marching ability
of the troops, 1t might be mentioned
that the soldiers have lost so many
hobnails on the roads that about half
of the motor cars in camp have
picked them up and have suffered
thereby in punetures.

Emmett Gets Beating.

G. r. Emmett who had a contract
on the block of buildings built on
Front street last summer was the
victim of an assault at his ranch
near Caldwell, when Patrick Vol
pandist, an Italian, hit him over
the head with shovel, following a
dispute over the division of irriga-
tion water. Mr.. Emmett was quite
seriously injured and the Italian
was arrested and held for trail, be-
ing released on $4,000 bond.

News reports from the American
training camp in France that the
French people are much interested
in the ways of the troops from this
country, and that their habits and
amusements are attracting much at
tention.
The American troops have been
here for less than a week-they are
not all here by any means and
they have already made themselves
thoroughly at home, so much so that
this section of France looks like a
little bit of America.
The correspondent made an extend
ed visit to the encampments Tuesday
morning and found the men fit and in
good spirits, and full of praise for the
friendly cooperation of the French
people who have willingly and gladly
given up many of their own comforts
accommodate the army. The avail
able houses, however are not suftici-
ent to accommodate all the Ameri-
cans who have arrived, and so the
countryside is dotted with newly
erected barracks that have sprung up
over night and make even more pic
turesque this beautiful neighborhood.
Water is abundant here, but uncer-
tain as to purity, so the troops are
adopting filtering methods by means
of bags suspended from tripods,
which astonish the local habitants al
most as much as the Americans mex
plicable thirst for water which is un-
known to wine drinkers, many of
whom seldom touch water.
A task which the army has taken
upon itself is the clearing up Of the
entire countryside, and at the present
pace the whole district will soon look
like a we'll ordered garden. Such pris-
oneIs as are under arrest for minor
infractions OF the regulations are en-
ployed each morning in making head
quarters espotiess. and are bringing
such degree Of orderllness into the
place that the original residents are
amazed Likewise, they find it diff
cult to understand why the soldiers
take so many baths, for the men make
for the nearest stream and dive in as
soon as they are at liberty.
The presence of the soldiers here
has naturally introduced many novel
ties, but probably none is more well
come than the daily evening concert,
which attracts people from far
around. people chiefly who have never
heard lively American music and who
have been without music since the
outbreak of the war.
An attractive feature of the camp

Registered
Local Boards

In every county in the United
States and for every city of over
10000 there are one or more local
exemption boards. Each of such
boards is in charge of the registra-
tion cards of persons registered in the
area over which the board has juris-
diction, and has jurisdiction of all
claims for exemption except those
based on industrial grounds. Find
based on industrial grounds Find
out what board has your card and
where the Office of that board is.
District Boards
In every federal judicial district
there are one or more district boards
having appellate jurisdiction over
number of local boards and having
original jurisdiction of claims for ex-
emption on industrial grounds. If
you intend to make claim on indus
trial grounds, including agriculture,
learn what district board to apply to-
Every board has numbered the
cards in its jurisdiction with red ink
in a series running from one to the
number representing the total num-
Der of cards in its jurisdiction. Lists
showing the names of persons in the
jurisdiction of each board and the
red ink number of each card are open
to inspection at the office of each
board.
Inspect the list and inform your
self of your red ink serial number.
Order of Liability
These red in numbers are to be
drawn by lot to determine the order
in which registered persons are to be
called by the various local boards.
AS soon as the drawing is complete
lists showing the order in which these
red ink numbers are drawn will be
published in the press, and will be
posted at the Office OF each local
board.
Go to your local board and find out
the order in which you stand for call.
Call for Examination
AS soon as the quotas are assigned
to each state and each board, each
board will call upon persons whose
cards are in its jurisdiction instruct
ing them to present themselves for
examination. This call will be post
ed at the office of the local board and
the papers will be requested to print
it. A notice will also be mailed to
you, but the posting of the list at
the Office of the board will be deemed
sufficient notice to charge you with
the duty of presenting yourself. The
law therefore makes it your duty to
inform yourself when you are called
The mailing is for your convenience
but if the letter never reaches you
you can not make that an excuse.
Watch the lists at the Office of
your board ard see when you are
called for examination.

MEAT CAUSE OF
kidney TROUBLE
Take a glass Of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder. bothers.
Meat forms uric acid.

If You must have your meat every
day. eat 1t, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts TO expel il
from the blood. They become sluggish
and weaken, then You suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment,
the channels often get sore and irr1-
tated. obliging you to seek relief two
or three time during the night.
To neutralize these Irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush of the
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia. and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine. so it no longer irri-
tates. thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.-Adv.
