crs will meet in regular quarterly
session next Monday, with the us
ual gist Of bills up for considera-
ti0n, and at this time bids viii be
acted upon for the construction Of
a grade across Lawyers canyon
at what is known as the Stevenson
crossing. The work on this side
of the creek viii be taken care of
by Lewis county and on the 9th
er side by Idaho county and the
Greencreek highway district.
Several parties have inspected
the proposed route of the grade
with the idea Of submitting bids,
but up to the present time none
have been filed. II is anticipate,
that three will be filed by Safur-
day, however.
If a satisfactory bid is receiv-
ed, il is probable the contract viii
be let and the work started on the
road at q very early date, as the
weather indications look favor
able for an open season and it is
desired TO have the crossing COM
pleied as soon as possible.

Charming Reception and Wedding
Announcement.

A very curious group Of young
people responded TO the novel IN
vitation of Miss Lois Ramcy and
filled the spacious living room Of
the Ramey home, Friday, Sep
tembcr %.
The first few minutes were
spent in knitting and crochcting
and one continuous chit-chat. Then
a novel story, the romance of
soldier, was told with the names
of songs sung IN 1861. There was
a great deal Of discussion as to
sswhat he said" and "what she
said, and as there was only one
or two who could speak from cx-
perience, the questions were miss
ed by the majority. And then the
very embarrassing question, "why
are you single" was asked each
individual. Some pathetic as wei
as amusing answers were given.
Then the momentous moment ar
rived when the curiousity of %
old maids was satisfied. The
hostess asked each guest to draw
a red. white and blue ribbon hang
ing from nifty baskets IN the arch
way. AT the end of the ribbon
concealed in the basket was
note from "Sy" and "Lois" an-
serious operation Nov.
4 "a rntxat., Canada whom two
hearts would be made to beat as
one.
In order to strengthen these en-
vious old maids, a delicious lunch-
con was served by Mrs. Ramey
and Miss May. Still the crowd
fingered to sing and chat and at
last badc their hostess goodnight,
delighted after such a pleasant ev-
eninR and still sofrowful that
Lois was leaving their midst.

THE SECOND LIBEETY LOAN.
Patriotic Americans Have Another
Opportunity Of Safest In
vestment and Help
Win the War.
Statement OF Secretary Of Treas
urY McAdoo.


The Congress Of the United
States has authorized the Sccrc-
tary OF the Treasury 10 sell 10 the
American people bonds Of the
United States bearing four per
cent interest, with valuable tax
exemptions, and convertible un-
der certain conditions into other
issues of United States bonds that
may be authorized BY the Con-
gress.
There Is now offered 10 the
American people a new issue Of
$1,000. 600, 900 Of bonds 20 be
known as the Second Liberty
Loan. They viii be issued IN such
denominations and upon such
terms that every patriotic citizen
will have an opportunity to assist
the government By lending his
money upon the security Of a
United States government bond.
II Is essential 10 the success Of
the war and 10 the support Of our
gallant troops that these loans
shall not only be subscribed, but
oversnbscribcd. No one Is asked
10 donate or give his money to the
government; but everyone is ask
cd TO lend his money 20 the gov
crnment. The loans will be repaid
IL full with interest az the rate Of
four per cent per annum. A
government bond is the safest IN
vestmcnt in the world; Il Is as
good as currency and yet better,
because the government bond
bears interest and currency does
not. No other investment cone
parcs with il for safety, ready
convertibiligy into cash, and un-
questioned availability rs collaicr
al security for loans in any bank
In the United States.
People By thousands ask the
treasury constantly how they can
help the government in this war.
Through the purchase Of Liberty
Bonds every one can help. No
more patriotic duty can be per-
formed BY those who cannot actu-
ally fight upon tho field Of battle
than to furnish the government
with the necessary money to en-.
able Il to give our brave soldiers
and sailors all that they require
to make them strong for the fight |
and capable of winning a swift
victory over our enemies.
We fight, first Of all, for Amer
lea = vital rights, the right TO the
unmolested and unobstructcd use
Of the high seas, so that the sur
plus product Of our farms, our
mines and our factories may be
carried in the harbors Of every |
friendly nation in the world. Our
welfare and prosperity as a people |
depend upon our right Of peace
ful intercourse with all the ma
tions of the earth. To abandon
these rights by Withdrawing our
ships and commerce from the seas
upon the order OF a military dcs-
pot in Europe would destroy pros
perity and bring disaster and hui
initiation upon the American peo-
pie.
We fight to protect our citizens
against assassination and murder
upon the high seas while in the
peaceful exercise Of those rights
demanded by international law I
and every instinct and dictate Of
humanity.
We fight to preserve our demo-
cratic institutions and our sover-
eighty ns nation against the
menace Of a powerful and ruthless
military autocracy headed by the i
