Atchison Loses Hat

The concrete work was finished
on the Kendrick Warehouse & Mill
ing Company's elevator Monday
night, Mr.. Atchison thereby losing
hat to Mr.. Georg, the contractor,
who made a wager to the effect
that the concrete work would be
finished not later than Wednesday
of this week. There were very few
delays on the job and the crew on
both the day and night shifts, did
excellent work.
It will take some time to get all
the machinery installed and the
wood work, such as the cupola anc
roof, finished, but Mr.. Atchisor
states that by the end of next weel
the elevator will be in shape to re
ceive grain. There will be M
question as to the storage capacit!
of Hendricks elevators and ware
houses this season. There will b.
room to spare for the 1917 crop.

You Are a Stockholder

Likening the United States to a
great corporation with more than a
hundred million stock holders and
with capital stock and resources of
more than two hundred fifty billions
of dollars, and an annual income of
fifty billions of dollars, each Amer
ican citizen is stock holder in this
great corporation. Even those
whose only assets are their earning
capacity own shares in our public
domain and property and are work.
ing on a profit sharing basis
with a vote and a voice in the
management of the corporation and
with the right to acquire more stock
at any time.
A Liberty Bond may be likened
to share of preferred stock in this
gigantic corporation. Like pre-
ferred stock in other corporations
it may not return, at times, so
large a dividend as common stock,
but the dividend from it is certain
and sure. 1t is stock that pays
8. per cent dividend but the stock
and dividend cannot be taxed and
crop failures may decrease the
farmers dividend from his land
some years to less than nothing, and
various causes may lessen or destroy
dividends from all other sorts of
property. the dividend from the
Liberty Loan Bond is certain and
sure, subject to no failure or dim
mutton.
The owner of a Liberty Loan
} Bond holds written tangible evil
dence of being preferred stock
holder in the United States, the
greatest, the most glorious, the
most honorable, and the most sue
cessful corporation in the world.
He holds the certificate Of being a
citizen willing to support his gov
ernment and to lend money to his
country when it needs it and calls
: for it. - r.
There is honor in being the own
er of Liberty Loan Bond as well
as profit.

Reduce Price of Bread

The food administration prepared
Wednesday to take over the entire
1917 wheat crop if necessary to
stabilize prices throughout the
year. 1t formed fifty-million
dollar corporation, with all of the
stock held by the federal govern
ment, to buy and sell wheat at the
principal terminals.
The move was the first of series
to be taken to reduce the price of
bread. Millers already have agreed
to put themselves under voluntary
regulations and are working out
with the food administration a
differential of profits. Distribut-
ion Of our flour by wholesalers and
the baking of bread will be taken
up next.
The hope of the administration
is to establish a scale of prices
from the farm to the grocery store,
eliminating undue profits and end
ing speculation. The maintenance
of standard price for wheat, its
officials believe, is the first and
most necessary step.
In announcing formation of the
wheat corporation, the food admin
stration also made known the per-
sonnel of a committee which will
fix price to be paid for this years
wheat yield, and the names Of
thirteen men who will act as pur.
chasing agents for the corporation
at terminals.
The wheat corporation will be
put under the administration
grain division. It's chairman will
be Herbert Hoover and it's presi
dent. Julius Barnes, Duluth ex
porter, now serving as voluntary
aid in the food administration
The price fixing committee will b.
headed by President Garfield o.
Williams college, and will compris'
twelve members, representing pro
ducers and consumers.
The wheat corporation will handl
all allied grain purchases and will
do the buying for the American
government.

Home Cuald Meeting

The Home Guard met in the band
stand of the town park Monday eve
ming and transacted routine busi-
ness. Action was started with ref
erence to procuring flag pole that
would do credit to the town. Mar
tin Thomas has offered to donate
the pole providing the Home Guard
would furnish team to transport
it from the woods to the corner of
the park, where it is to be set. 1t
is thought arrangements can be
made to get the pole in the near
future.

Lights on in Deary

After about nine months of CROP
ing around in municipal darkness
and gloom, the village of Deary,
Idaho, is about to emerge into the
light. Within a very few days the
effulgent rays of the incandescent
lamps will be doing business as of
yore, only more so, and in the
thereafter the hole in the sidewalk,
the outstanding and impurturable
telephone pole and the lodging of

Tommy Grice Injured

Tommy Grice had a narrow es-
cape last Friday night when he was
run over while riding his bicycle at
the Farmers Hardware corner.
Clarence Newman was driving his
team around the corner at pretty
fast clip and before he could stop
the team ran over Tommy, injuring
his right arm quite seriously and
completely demolishing the bicycle.
One of the horses stepped on
Tommy's arm and the toe calk cut
cash several inches long, to the
bone. The cut is healing nicely.

Entertain Okoke Klootchman

August weather has not dulled
the pleasure spirit of the Okoke
Klootchman Club members who
were entertained by Mrs. G. S.
Porter Thursday evening in comp
liment to Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Flo.
The rooms were beautifully de-
corated in goldenglow and ferns.
Dainty sprays of wood fern formed
a lattice work over the archways.
and large baskets of heavier ferns
throughout the rooms added
touch of green to the gold color
scheme brought out by huge boquets
of goldenglow, and yellow shaded
candles.
Dainty cakes and ices arranged
in shades of yellow and white
carried out effectively the tones of
the decorations.
After an interesting and enjoy
able round of Progressile Five
Hundred, Mrs. Flo delighted the
guests with several charming vocal
selections. Readings also were
given by Miss Annette DeCourcey.

Nez Perce Calls Is More

The Nez Perce county draft board
Tuesday decided to call Is more
men and the call went out the fol-
lowing day. This action was taken
as precautionary measure, as
while there is little doubt but that
the original quota will be secured
from the men passed and certified
to the district board, yet with the
occupational exemptions claimed
and the appeals taken from the act
ion of the local board denying de-
pendent exemptions there might be
lack of men to provide the alter.
nate demanded.
The additional call is to the fol.
lowing:
Stephen S. Murphy, Culdesac.
Leo w. Grau, Leland.
Charles l.. Miller, Lewiston.
Royal C. Triplett, Peck.
John Guzik, Lewiston.
Clark J. Nelson, Lewiston.
Almond Andrews. Snow.
Jacob B. Harris. Tapin.
Albert Elias. Lewiston.
Bud Taylor. Zass.

To Take Exemption Appeals

Frank l.. Moore, the prosecuting
attorney, has been designated the
representative of Provost Marshal
General Crowder for Latah county
to take appeals to the district board
from all orders of the Latah county
exemption board granting either
discharges or exemptions, says the
Star-Mirror.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
takes the position that in the con-
scription of men for military SER
vice the interest of the government
is paramount to the interest of the
individual, that all must make sac
rifices for the common good.
Prosecuting Attorney Moore's
duty is to look after the interests
of the government and not of the
drafted men. If he has reason to
believe that any exemption or any
discharge granted by the local board
is without merit, he is to take an
appeal. Appeals are to be taken
in all dependency cases.
In his instructions the county
attorney is to consider himself
rather as one working in cooperat
ion with the board than as an at
torney appearing before it,"
Prosecuting Attorney Moore's au
thority in these matters comes di
rectly from the provost marsha
general through the governor, ST
that his responsibility is great. Hi
appointment is based on the as
sumption that all discharges ant
all exemptions will not be in tn
interest of the nation.
