HICKMAN, KY. Sept. SIS. L. Dodd,
one of the wealthiest men of West
Kentucy, has started a movement to
save the homes of men drafted into
the army. He has announced that any
mortgage or note he holds against a
man drafted into the army will be
automatically extended from the date
of enlistment to the date of discharge.
Mr.. Dodd points out that unless this
practice is generally followed thous-
ands of mortgages on farms and on
homes will be foreclosed while the
farmer is at the front. He has also
announced that he will make good
for all those men employed by him
who enlist or are drafted the differ

OUT FROM WHITE BIRD.

John Nevins, the genial manager Of
the Salmon River Stores Co., of White
Bird, came out from the river town Sat
urday night on business and remained
until Tuesday. We half suspect he was
driven out by a couple of live young
travelling men, Jack O'Leary, who sells
hardware for Spokane firm and sells
it too, and clean-cut young live wire
from Portland who does the same stunt
for the Hoynerman Hardware Co., of
the Rose City. Both of these gentlemen
made trip down to see Johnnie and
came out with him and probably run
him out. However from the smiles the
boys wore and the way they turned out
order sheets at the Imperial Sunday af
ternoon, it would indicate to causual
observer that business had been good
with the pair. John stated the roads
from the river out were in bad condi-
zion, especially was this true from the
top of the hill. However, with the state
highway assured, the people down on
the river are taking things in a
philosophical manner feeling the time
is not far distant when the means of
transportation win be such as to afford
travelling in and out of the river cOun-
try by machines and at all times of the
year. Business is good down the river
according to Mr.. Nevins and the cattle
men are not injured half as badly as
reported. Spring has arrived and the
warm rains is bringing out the grass in
great shape.

SOON DESTROY EVERY SHIP
THAT ENTERS WAR WATERS

ed and that it was time the country
awoke to the true facts. Reports to
the state department give total of
so vessels lost in one week, figures much
higher than any contained in recent
British announcements.
The British mission announced that
the rate of destruction III recent weeks
had continued unchanged and that 1T
showed no alarming increase.
All its members agree the situation
is critical, however, and that the com
bined shipbuilding facilities of the
world can meet the peril only if their
output is increased tremendously.
Announcing the government rs pro-
gram for exercising a more direct con
troll over the country's shipping and
shipbuilding facilities, Chairman Den
man of the shipping board said esti-
mates had reached the board of 3OO,-
900 tons of shipping sunk in one week.
The present world IS ship tonnage is
estimated at less than 50,000,00O tons.
In 1915 the entire loss in tonnage due
to war causes was put at little more
than 1000 900 tons, or some 10000 tons
month. At present the Germans are
sinking considerably more than that
each week.

GERS AND MEN
GETTING READY FOR DRAFT
Sheriff, Clerk Of Court and County
Physician Form tho Board Having
Charge Of Registration.

According to Boise paper a census
taken in this state by the adjutant
generals department shows there are
32,590 men subject to draft in the un-
married class between the ages of Is
and 30 years, Idaho 5 quota under the
draft bills in the original call for 500,-
600 men will be one to every 90, or ap-
proximately 1850 exclusive of the mem
bers of the National Guard who are now
in the federal service. The strength
of the idaho National Guard today
actually under orders is 1000 officers
and enlisted men.
The above census will be increased
if the house age limits 81 to 40 years
are adopted. 1t will be decreased IL
the senate recommendation of 81 to 81
is accepted. 1t is believed that the
final bill approved by congress will so
arrange the minimum and maximum
ages as to allow the above census to
stand in round numbers. Including the
Idaho national Guard the first call for
Idaho's quota would place $3.50 men
under arms in this state.
Under instructions from Secretary of
War Baker the governor has dispatched
to all sheriffs in the state instructions
as to how to proceed under the terms of
the new draft bill and register un-
married men. The secretary of war is
sued the instructions as tentative pend
ing on the action congress would take
on the draft measure. Now that it is
Assured the draft bill will pass, Secre-
tary Baker has wired the governor to
consider the plans rs definite and to
instruct sheriffs to proceed under them
with the final approval of the bill. He
makes il plain there will be no elimina-
tions under the draft prior to register
ing and all men who come under its
terms will be required to register. The
eliminations cannot be made by regis
trars but viii be made later if the
causes justify the act.
Under the instruction the adjutant
general receives the Ilnal report of
registrations from the various counties.
The duly appointed registrars in the
various precincts of the state receive
the registrations. Proper blanks for
them will be furnished. The sheriff
will issue instructions making it man
datory for those who come within the
scope of the bill to register If they
do not do so they are Subject to arrest
and imprisonment. Ten days or two
| weeks will be the time limit for regis
trations to take place. The registra-
tions are returnable to the sheriff and
will be tabulated by the county board
of control composed of the sheriff,
clerk and county physician. This board
in turn certifies to the adjutant general.

PUT LAST WEEK D
TOTALS AT SOME 100000
TONS

Washington, May 2.-The enormous
inroads on the worlds shipping made
by German submarines within the last
few weeks has brought to Anerlcan
government officials a full realization
of the disaster that faces the United
States and the allies if the undersea
warfare is not checked.
Governors and state representatives,
here today for national defense con
ference, will take home to their people
n message from the government en-
nbasiziug the menace to America and
uroing that there must be the fullest
coordination by the states in war pre-
paredness if Germany is to be defeated.
Secretary Lane told the conference
that the great destruction of ships was
threatening the existence of Great
Britain and France and menacing the
United States. No one, he said, knew
the exact number of ships lost recently,
but estimates put last week IS submarine
toll at 100000 tons. Later he explained
that this estimate probably was too
high.
Secretary Lansing in statement de-
elared the seriousness of the subma-

HERE ISCHANCEfOR
FARMERS TO GET
UTILITY COWS
SHoRTHoRN OFFERING AT Null
HALLS SALE AFFORDS OPPOR-
TUNITY TO FARMERS.
OFFERING LARGE AND VARIED
Stations Number of Farm Horses
and Colts and Machinery be Sold

At the public sale of registered
Shorthorn cattle and Percheron horses
to be held at Fem on May 23 by the
Mulhalls will be offered an exceptional
opportunity for the farmer who desires
to build up herd of general utility
cattle for in the offering are some of
the choicest animals of the Shorthorn
breed.
The average farmer, as distinguished
from the dairyman and professional
feeder, maintaining cattle as an Incl
dental, albeit necessary, feature of a
well ordered system of mixed husban-
dry, requires not only milk, cream and
butter in good supply for domestic con-
sumption, but the cows that provide him
with these products are, also expected
to raise a calf each year that can be
profitably utilized in consuming the
grass and roughness' of the farm; so
that the males will command a fair
price as yearlings and two year-olds for
feeding purposes and the heifers possess
the requisite size and quality fitting
them for retention in the breeding herd.
Hence the necessity for combined beef
and milk producing breed for general
farm purposes.
1t is claimed by those who support its
contentious that the Shorthorn blood
produces "thc farmers cow par ex-
cellence of the world. The females
often reach in full flesh 1900 lbs. in
weight, occasionally making 20O0 lbs,
and with good farm keep at maturity
should average say 400 lbs. in working
condition. Aged bulls in high flesh
occasionally weigh up to $500 lbs, but
experienced breeders prefer sires that
avreage from 2000 lbs. to 24OO lbs, ex-
treme weights not being generally
favored. In color they are red, roam,
red with white markings or white. In
Great Britain, the home of the breed,
the roans predominate. This is indeed
the one distinctive Shorthorn color,
never produced except by the presence
of the blood of this breed. In America
reds have been in special demand for
some years past purely as a matter OF
fancy, although the other colors-save
perhaps the pure whites-are also seen
in nearly every herd. Good Shorthorn
cows should yield fair flow of milk
as we'll as fatten readily when dry. The
steers possess smooth, level frames,
mature quickly on the ordinary foods
of the farm and are in great demand
for feeding purposes. The bulls cross .
well upon cows of other types, being
especially valued for leveling and re-
fining the form of stock lacking size
finish and quality.
Besides the cattle will be offered
three extra fine Percheron stations
worthy of the attention of the horse
men who are looking for the best OF
s;res of this class. While the fancy
IcattIe and horses will interest many
there will also be sold on that day 8
number of high grade horses as well a.
a big lot of farm machinery, making
the sale one that will prove attractive
to most all farmers no matter what then
wants may be as the offering is very
laytensiye

PROMINENT PIONEER
CITIZEN DIES
SUDDENLY
FRANK VAN SIsE, WELL KNOWN
PIONEER OF IDAHO COUNTY
PASSED AWAY SUNDAY.
WAS4ETERAN OF indian WAR
One Of the Brave Seventeen at Cotton
wood Fght-Prominent Odd Fellow
and General Good Citizen.

This community was greatly shocked
Sunday to learn of the sudden death of
Frank Van Sise, prominent pioneer
citizen of Camas Prairie who passed
away Sunday noon, after a brief illness.
Mr.. Van Sise, who had been out and
around and apparently in his usual good
health, was. taken seriously ill early
Sunday morning, having several convul-
sions and his condition becoming seri-
Gus, medical aid was at once summoned
by his wife and for a time On account
of his improved conditions it was
thought he would recover, however
along about noon he suffered relapse
and passed away shortly before twelve.
Mr.. Van Sise, who was SO years of
age, came west with his father and
mother at an early day, crossing the
Isthmus of Panama and settling on the
Pacific Coast After residence in
Oregon he came to Grangeville locating
at Mt. Idaho. During the Indian war
he took prominent part in the protec-
tion of the citizens, being one of the
seventeen volunteers with the command
under Captain Randall during the fight
at Cottonwood with hostile Nez Perce
Indians. He was q man of great
bravery, loyalty, plain spoken and
Straightforward and it was due to him
perhaps more than any other man that
the commander of the federal troops
stationed in this section during the
Indian uprising finally extended to the
people the protection they had right
to expect from the soldiers.
He was prominently identified with
the 1. o. o. F., being a charter member
of the local lodge and advancing high
in the order. As citizen his value
has been recognized through his elec-
ton several times on the city council
as well as his invariable selection on
committees having public enterprise
and improvements in charge.
Mr.. Van Sise is survived by his
widow and three children, Mrs. Ollie
Biddle, Mrs. Esther Brougherton and
Clyde Van Sise, all of Grangeville. Mrs
Van Sise was formerly Miss Eta
Fountain and was united in marriage
with Mr.. Van Sise in 1878.
The funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon, under the auspices OF
the Odd Fellows lodge, Director Mauge
being in charge. The hall was well
filled with friends who cam, to pay
their last respects to a good husband

ing having been rejected on account of
the condition of one knee. Henry
passed muster when he was examined
this spring for Border service and got
by, doing his bit down on the inter

examiner discovered the trouble and the
young man was not able to get past the
strict examination they are now sub
jecting the boys to. Several other boys
from the company have been rejected on
physical examination and there may
be others. He states the boys are get
ting along fine, the eats are good and
the general condition all that could be
expected but military rules are being
closely observed and everything done
along lines followed in real warfare.
