Woodrow Will son. who to my mind is the greatest president since Lincoln. We. did not seek this war. It was forced on us. For long time our president hesi- tated. He did not want war and he hopedto to avoid it, but finally he de- cided that war must be waged and the great call was sent to our boys and young men to come forward as these veterans of today did in years gone by. This morning as I passed tho cemetery the funeral of g soldier was being held. It was 8 solemn occa- sion. This soldier did not die in battle. He was killed in an accident, but he was in the service of his coun- try. He had heard the call of our president and answered 1t. So I say to the men of. today, answer the call. Our country needs men and our pres ident has called for them. Do not disgrace these veterans to whom you are today paying tribute.
 ITO the women of New Britain, I want to say that the mothers of those w11o died in service in years past, are calling from their graves to have you do as they did in the time of trouble which they faced. They loved their sons brothers and them. You women of today feel like

SAYS A CORN ACTS
 LIKE ELECTRIC BELL
Tells why Q corn is so painful and says cutting makes
 them grow.

Press an electric button and you form a contact with live wire which rings the bell When your shoes press against your corn it pushes it's sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get shock of pain.
 Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of Freezone. This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or call lous from ones feet. A few drops ap- piled directly upon a tender. aching corn stops the soreness instantly. and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all, without pain. This drug is harmless and never in- flames or even irritates the surround ing tissue or skin.

Appreciation of DIR. Brannon.

The Orofino Commercial Club, at
its meeting Wednesday night, adopt
ed, by unanimous vote, the following
resolutions:
Whereas DR.. Melvin A. Brannon
has resigned the presidency of the
University of the State of Idaho;
Therefore, Be it resolved, that the
Orotino Commercial Club regrets that
DR.. Brannon has severed his copnec-
tion with our chief educational insti-
tuition; that it is our firm conviction
that during his administration and
very largely through his splendid or
ganization and intelligent direction
the university has attained a stand
ing as one of most advanced and pro-
gressive educational institutions in
our country; that it's influence upon
our community has been very marked
for advancement along all lines of in
stitutjonal learning and practical
social advancement; that we have
greatly benefited from, and are
highly appreciative of the help we
have received from the frequent visits
of members of the faculty, their in
structive addresses and personal in
spection of stock and land and sug-
gestive assistance towards making
this a more successful agricultural
community.
That we highly appreciate DR..
Brannon's S sterling manhood, his
splendid equipment, his fine person
ality, and that we wish him unlimit-
ed success in whatever field his future
lot may be cast.

my Swimmin' Hole.

Our local Indian agent, after read
ing the article in the Republican
about that SIND bar. took us into his
confidence and told us that the princi-
pal reason he has objected to the
people hauling sand from this gigan-
tic bar is that it might spoil my
swimmin' hole. In other words

only owns the sands Of the Clearwater
river, but the waters thereof, and
talks that kind of baby prattle in
public. Owns the swimming hole
For the love of Mike, and the Clear
water river is navigable stream,
the property of the United States
Government, under control of the War

ment, nor its hired men, including

river bed, or to the water that flows
by the Indian allotment, or to pri-
vate swimming hole adjacent to In

The Peck Bridge.

Laying aside the question of who
should build the Peck bridge, the
Clearwater Republican is thoroughly
convinced that the bridge ought to be
constructed by somebody, and that
without further delay. The facts are
that the Peck crossing is very i'm
portant one. 1t is connecting link
between two rich agricultural sec
tions lying on either side of the river,
and it is authoritively stated that
automobiles can cross by ferry only
two months out of the year. During
ten months of the year autos cannot
get to the ferry for the water, and
the ferry cannot get out of the main
river channel. There you are, and
those who must cross are compelled
to travel about 100 miles out of their
way to get across to the other side.
Take into consideration that Peck
station on the Northern Pacific is a
shipping point of great Importance; !;
that hundreds of farmers on the Peck
side must haul their crops to the Peck
warehouses, and that these farmers
are taxpayers of our state, and fellow
citizens, e titled to decent treatment,
and that they have waited long and
patiently for relief, and no fair
minded man should put straw in
their way or object to their demands.
The proposed bridge would span
the river at the extreme corners of
Clearwater and Nez Perce counties,
and accommodate a large number of
Lewis co. farmers. 1t is said the lat
ter have already offered to donate
$S, 600 towards the Peck bridge This
would probably be one third of the
total cost. The farmers and citizens
of Peck hope Clearwater county and
Nez Perce county will get together
and help. 1t is pointed out that
Clearwater county gets the benefit of
taxes. from all grain stored in the
Peck warehouses by farmers who hold
their grain. and that is only fair that
our county should cooperate.
The Republican would suggest a
joint meeting of the Clearwater and
Nez Perce county boards, at Peck,
for publ C discussion of this bridge,
to see If out of this meeting a plan
might not be evolved for its immedi-
ate construction

A Big Success.

The University of Idaho has never
inaugurated bigger movement than
it's recent convention bringing to-
gether farmers, housewives, mer-
chants, bankers, and the people gen.
orally, to discuss practical questions
and problems. Some of this was
but the first step, preparatory work,
in other words, but the good work
will grow and expand into big move
ments. The University of Idaho has
undertaken to carry practical know
ledge to all classes of people over our
state. 1t is big movement, end
the people are beginning to realize
its value. Next year the attendance
should be much larger, and the scope
of the work extended. When the
farmers. particularly, come to under
stand that their state university,
with its short course for farmers, and
its Farmers and Housekeepers
Week. is for their benefit, and is of
great value to them, the University
will hardely be able to accommodate
the crowds that will attend. Our
farmers should not miss these oppor-
tunities. From a purely dollar and
sents standpoint no farmer can afford
to let such opportunities pass.

Everybody around Orofino knows
George Cummings. The old man
lives in Orofino, some distance from
the post office, and has son, Clay,
who resides in the country. Clay was
in Orofino recently to see his father,
who asked his son, when he went down
town, to call at the post Office and
get his mail. Clay called for his
fathers mail, according to the story,
and Postmaster Blake is reported to
have said:
Get an order from your father. 4"
Clay walked back to his father s
home, got the order, and returl ed for
the mail. He handed the order to
Postmaster Blake. Our genial and
accommodating public servant took the
order, looked it over, and with IA
grunt, said
''No mail here for George Cum
mings.''
Every since then Clay has been try
ing to figure out why Patrick Henry

first place and save him that trip for

Court House Lease.

The county commissioners met Mon
day in special Sc sion to discuss the
matter of court house accommodations,
and ended with contract for Odd
Fellows Hall for five years. This
property is now in the hands of re-
ceiver, and District Judge Steele
must approve any lease of this prop
erty. A delegation of citizens and
the county board went to Moscow last
week and conferred with Judge
Steele, who refused to confirm the
original contract for the Odd Fellow S
property, insisting that the. county
was not to pay reasonable rental.
The court gave the delegation to un-
derstand what he would approve,
which is a slight modification of the
original agreement. The county
will get little more room, under the
recent lease, but will pay for the
janitor, whereas the original deal
was for janitor services thrown in by
the Odd Fellows building owners.
The county, under what is termed an
emergency, takes the property for five
years, paying 81, 500 per year.
The Burns block people appeared
before the board Monday and submit
ted proposition, offering to provide
vault Accommodations on second floor.
for $1,000 per year. The county
would be required to pay out about
$500 per year for janitor, making the
rent about 50, 500 per year. In ad-
dition to this the county would be
forced to provide court room accom-
modations outside. at additional ex-
pense, while the deal accepted by the
county and which Judge Steele is ex-
pected to approve, provides for court
room, jury room, and several times
the vault room to be provided in the
Burns Block.
The county board took into consid-
Grafton another feature that is worthy
of note Odd Fellows Hall is to be
remodeled specially to accommodate
county business, and county officials
with whom the Republican talked say
will afford better quarters than could
be provided in the present location.
