HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO
FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY

A new Forest Regiment is being
recruited, to be know as the "Twen-
tieth Engineers Forest" which will
go to France at an early date
The regiment is to be composed of
woodsmen and sawmill men who will
get out of the French forests lumber
and other timber productsfortheuse
OF the American, French and British
armies. The companies will be wide
ly scattered throughout the pine and
hardwood forests of France, and, in
all probability, not much if any of
the work will be near the battle lines.
This regiment offers to men whose
lives and training has fitted them,
an admirable chance to perform a
most effective service in the war.
Experienced axemen. sawyers, tie
hewers, skidders, logging teamsters
and blacksmiths are wanted for the
logging crews, while experienced mill
hands are needed to operate the port
able sawmills. Carpenters, machin-
lists and charcoal burners are wanted,
and helpers are required for the var
ious activities connected with wood
operations and the maintenance of
large camps. There is limited need
for motor truck and motor cycle op-
orators and motor truck repair men.
as well as for experienced cooks and
clerks.
Further information concerning
the Regiment can be obtained from
Forest Supervisor W. b. Wiley. Oro-
fino, Idaho, to whom men wishing to
enlist should apply.

STATE GETS CONVICTION
CHARGE OF SYNDICALISM.

In a jury trial Tuesday John Otis
Ellis. prominent Socialist of the ram
pant variety, was found guilty of the
charge of syndicalism. the specific
charge being that he had stopped ].
NJ. Spurgeon and NJ. ]. Thomas, who
were passing along the road where
Ellis was working. on their way to
the j. M. Bartlett tie camp, and ad-
V1sed them to demand IS day and
II they did not get it to cut the ties
short and thus cause the employer
great financial loss. The jury was
out but short time, and PROMPTLY
found the defendant guilty as charg-
ed. Ellis is himself a rancher. living
on small place a few miles up the
North Fork above Ahsahka.. He is
of the radical. blatant type of agita-
ting socialists whose sole ambition
at this time seems to center on rails
ing hell generally, and opposing the
government along l. w. w. lines. The
court gave Mr.. Ellis from one to ten
years In the state prison at Boise,
and as the defendant gave notice of
appeal, Judge Steele decreed that
Ellis would be held for twenty days
in the Clearwater county jail.
Being convicted of a felony Ellis
forfeits his citizenship, and can no
longer vote. The state should, in
cases involving disloyalty to the gov
ernment, see to 1t that Ellis and his
type are never restored to the privi-
leges Of citizenship. Make them, as
far as possible, Men Without A
Country"

HAVE SURPLUS OF
SPUDS THIS YEAR

Elk River Sentinel: The potatoe
harvest in this section has been COM
pleted and in spite of the drouth dur
ing the season the yield has been ex-
cellent. Ordinarily about three car
loads have been shipped to this place
for local consumption in addition to
what has been raised here. This
year. perhaps due to the efforts to en-
courage gardening, it is estimated
that there will be one carload sur
plus over home consumption which
has been raised here. Most every
family in town has had a garden
patch this year and raised enough
vegetables to do them for the winter
and in a number of cases there has
been surplus produced and this Is
finding ready sale to the local stores.

THE LIBERTY LOAN
AND THE FARMER
Bv D. F. HOUSTON. Secretary Of Ag-
riculture.

1t is every citizens duty to purchase
Liberty Bond if he is in a position
to do so. Every patriot will regard
1t as privilege to participate in the
Liberty Loan. He will thereby con-
tribute directly and effectively to the
successful prosecution of the war
which Germany has forced upon US.
The Nations task is a serious one 1t
intimately touches each one of us. 1t
faces you and me. II we do not win
this war, we must prepare ourselves
for grave changes in our institutions
and to lead different sort of life
from that which we had planned to
live-from that which our forefath-
ers died to give us the right to live.
We shall indefinitely face the inter-
ference of the Prussian autocracy or
bear permanently the intolerable bur-
dens of militarism. To win this war
we must have both men and money.
j know that every farmer wants to
do all in his power for the Nation in
which he lives in this day of trial.
He will not only labor to produce the
necessary foodstuffs but will also
generously contribute of his means to
make it possible for the men at the
front to achieve victory. l am conf
dent that the farmers of the land will
not permit any other class to take
the leadership in supporting the gov
ernment in this crisis, financially or
otherwise.
We are at war with Germany be-
cause Germany made war upon us,
sank our ships, killed our citizens,
and plotted against us while profess
sing friendship. We were patient till
offenses became so fragrant and in
suits so intolerable that it'was mere
ly question of whether we would
admit that we were no longer a free
Nation or accept the challenge of the
war-mad. hypocritical and medieval
Prussian militarists. There was one
choice we could not make-we were
incapable Of making We could not
choose the path of submission and
suffer the most sacred rights of our
Nation and our people to be ignored
and violated. :"
We are defending our rights as a
free Nation. We are resolved that
there shall be an end of brute force
in international affairs. What Ger
many's victory would mean to the
world is plain. There would be no
right except might, no peace save at
the price of humiliations too bitter to
be borne. Small nations could not
exist. There would be no sanctity to
pledge, no solemnity to a covenant.
With the dominance of Prussian mill
tarism, the Apglo-Saxon struggle for
free institutions and liberty. persist
ing from 'Runnymede to Yorktown,
with its Bill of Rights, and it's Decla-
ration of Independence, will have
been in vain. 1t is to prevent this, to
defend our rights, and to make possi-
BILE an orderly and just peace in the
world that we are at war. The Ma
tion calls on its citizens for high and
noble service. On some II calls for
service in the field, on others for ser
vice at home: on all. 1T calls, for A.
nancial support. am confident that
the farmers of the Nation will eager
" respond to the call for subscrip-
tions to the Liberty Loan.

THE KAISER'S PLAN

But Belgium said: "No!"

The triple country l will take,
And part of Germany them make"

But Uncle Sam said: "No!!!'
But Johnny Bull said: MOL"

With trembling shoke:
Mein friends. let's stop this show,
And dwell together as before

But the Allies said: "No,.,!"

e jury could not agree
in the case of the State VS.. Gus Piper
charged with burning a cabin owned
by Nicholas Dana, Greek, who is
homesteading on the North Fork in
the Dent section. There was little
question as to the burning of the
cabin, but the defense had lot of
witnesses and evidence to prove the
cabin in question was not located on
Dama's homestead. There seemed to
be plenty of doubt in the minds of
ten of the twelve jurymen, for on the
first ballot the vote stood ten for ac-
quittal and two for conviction. 1t
was hung jury and the case goes
over term when Mr.. Piper will be
tried again on the same charge, the
county attorney feeling that the de-
fendant has committed crime. De-
fendant's bond was permitted to re-
main as it was, and he is now at lib
erty.
