FINAL CONTINGENT MOVED
ON TEN DAYS NOTICE

According to recent advices from
the War Department to the Provost
MarshalPs office ten days notice will
be given the local board for>the mobi-
lization of the final unit of the new
army.
The men for the final contingent
of the national army have been ex-
pecting a call for several weeks and
have been unable to settle down to
any given work as they had to b
able to leave on twenty-four hours
notice. Now that the time of notice
is extended somewhat it will relieve
the tension of the situation a trifle.
Just when the date for the move
ment of this contingent will be,
there is an utter lack Of information
anu we can only draw conclusions
based on speculation.

SOMERSET ROAD

July IA, 1917 work on the new road
was commenced in earnest and up ia
the last of October was continued
under many difficulties. The average
gang consisted of ten men and three
teams and finally was given up earlier
than planed because men could not
be secured to handle the work needed.
The work was begun at Irwin and
up to date four miles of splendid
road-as the men say, real road has
been completed. Folks familiar with
the Keblar Pass country know what
heavy grades and difficult work would
be encountered there and it is re-
ported that the best fourteen foot
road in the country has been made.
The heaviest and hardest part of the
work has been completed; the re-
manning fifteen miles to the Muddy
will be accomplished much more
quickly and easily as soon as work
can be resumed in the spring.
Motor parties, that went over the
road this fall report an easy grade
and fine road all the way to the Horse
Ranch. We are sure this will be well

Eaeh Qssrtsr Gives Some Ssmw
osauias Pleasure.

1t is not often that the writer
grows enthusiastic over a soulless
trust, but the offer of the American
Tobacco Co. to send 53c worth OF
smoking tobacco to any soldier for
25c, looks to us like good thing to
push along.
There is a great shortage of tobac-
co in France. In some instances as
high as $500 has been paid for a
single sack of smoking tobacco. If
it were readily purchasable the ef-
fort to supply it would not be SO
meritorious, but with conditions as
they are it becomes the duty of every
man who has sympathy for our sol
dier boys to dig up and help.
On Thursday evening, after school,
the Boy Scouts will canvass the town
for subscriptions. There are no COM
missions or rewards except the reward
of conscience for good work well done.
The American Tobacco company evil
IDENTIFY gives the product at cost or
less. The newspapers are doing the
advertising gratis. The Scouts are
making the canvass in the line of
duty.
We print below the picture of an
opened kit. 1t contains one can of
Tuxedo, three sacks Of Bull Durham
and two packages of Lucky Strike
cigaretts. Also stamped and ad-
dressed nostal card for the recipient
to mail as a receipt to the donor.
Each contributor can rely on receiv-
ing a receipt from some soldier
across the pond for the kit, and this
insures its delivery.

Senator Charles 8. Thomas, Of Colo

senate during tho long debate on the
war revenue bill, but he was one Of
the senators who framed a minority
report on the measure which, had it
been adopted, would have taken IS
per cent of all war profits or $l.707.-
100000 more than is to be raised un-
der the bill as finally passed. He
stood for lifting this great burden Of

Little Irene Kerr had bad fall
Thursday afternoon when one of the
swings broke at the school,. One of
the links had been badly worn from
the constant use the children have
put them to, and it is thot that there
was some defect in the metal which
suddenly parted, throwing the little
girl violently to the ground and
thoroughly stunning her for some
time. Aside from minor cuts and
bruises, she has entirely recovered,
though she seemed slightly hysteri-
cal for some time following the ac-
cident.
