BULGARS FEARED CAPTURE WAS
 SURE DEATH
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct. 22. - As evidence that the Germans have taught the Bull garians that their lives will be for feited if they are taken prisoner by the British, the following extract from letter from by a British officer on the Saloniki front, is published by the Daily Telegraph:
 When we rounded up sixty Bull garians in an attack recently the poor wretches were utterly terrified. Two or three tried to drown themselves in a pool while others knelt on the ground, making the sign of the cross and waiting an assassin's bayonet thrust or worse.
 "One who was a real sportsman, kept his head and made a desperate effort to escape, very nearly getting shot, until he saw it was useless. and flinging down his rifle. surrendered to an officer. Beside this officer a Tommy stood watchfullv in case the Bulgar was up to any nasty tricks, and the latter seing this attitude and taking him for his appointed murderer, with a dramatic gesttre threw back his head and barred his chest. He opened his shirt with both hands, then faced the so!d'er with the bayo- net whom he supposed to be waiting for the officers word to run him through.
 "Tommy's method O; easing the ten. sion was rapid. He brought out his pack of cigarettes anu offered one to the Bulgar.
 up to this moment the Buigar had been as brave as a lion, but the offer of the cigarette in place of the end oi the bayonet was too sudden a change in his outlook. He gave a gasp and sat down trembling, unable to light the cigarette at the match which the soldier was holding ready for him."

FOOD MEETING SATURDAY
Light Attendance Dascouraging-Pep
Club Gets Action.

In the words of Lord Roberts, eve
regret to report" a mighty slim atten-
dance at the meeting held last Saturday
by the Idaho County Association of In
creased Food Production which was held
at the court house during the afternoon
There were in attendance just nine peo,
pie as follows: Mayor Fulton, Bert
Auger, Mesdames Charles Smith and P.
NJ. Glanville, Joe Hazlebaker, A. r.
Wiley, John Eimers, j. A. Brown and
the writer. The matter of getting some
definite action was talked over and
something will probably be done in the
near future. The patriotism of the
people cannot be doubted but it seems
impossible to bring home to them at
this time the seriousness of the situa-
tion. Can it be we have been lulled to
wakeless sleep in the lap of luxury,
was it the approaching town election
that occupied our minds on that day or
are we to consider our bit in the work
is to be confined to speechmakings
Surely there was something radically
wrong Saturday but let us feel it was
|thoughlessness and failure to realize the
seriousness of the occasion. The Pep
club, according to a report of its acti-
vities appearing elsewhere in this
paper, appears to have gotten busy and
seems to be going about things in a way
that will bring results and provide a
means of active cooperation on the
part of all citizens who want to get
busy and do their part. Let us all get
in and show this community is alive to
the situation and willing to do its full

THE TOM BALES l,l2O ACRE Ranch
CHANGES HANDS AT sum Of $4,000
LEWISTON PARTIES AND FERDI-
NAND RANCHER MAKE BIGGEST
REAL ESTATE DEAL IN IDAHO
COUNTY IN YEARS

What is perhaps the largest real
estate deal ever made on Camas Pralrle
was closed this week when Tom Bales
ranch of 1920 acres was sold to Lonnle
Bales of Ferdinand and Eharhardt In
yestment Co, of which L. N. Eharhardt
is president The ranch, which con
sists of l120 acres and is located seven
miles north of Grangeville on the
Grangeville-Stites road, is one OF the
best in the county. it is well improved
and there is not foot of vast" land on
it.
The owner, Mr.. Bales, fitted it up
with the idea of making it his home but
found on account of his health he could
not remain in this country and of late
years has been spending portion of
his time in Arizona where climatic con
ditions seemed to be ideal for his
health. year or so ago he purchased
big cattle outfit out from Phoenix
and decided to remain permanently IN
the southwest, hence his determination
to dispose of his holdings here. Tom is
one of Idaho county's best citizens and
| to saw his removal is a genuine loss is
putting it very mildly. Lonnie Bales
one of the purchasers, is brother OF
Tom and well known rancher of the
Ferdinand section where he has beer
operating on large scale.
Mr.. Eharhardt, of the investment
company, is well known Lewiston
banker, being president of the Empire
National of that city as well as thu
German State Bank of Cottonwood. Fol
a number of years he lived on Cama'
Prairie and is firmly convinced of th'
merits of the land here, having mad
other investments in times past. Th'
ranch is under lease for the coming
wear to A. T. Kendrick who will operat
it for the present, just what the futur
plans of the purchasers are have no
been made public but we predict tha
probably Lonnie Bales will move owe
and take charge. The deal was mad
direct, Robert Maxey representing Tor
Bales in the transaction.

CHANCE FOR CHANGE IN IRA
TIME.

On account of the eight hour law {,
ing into effect, there is going to :
more or less change in the railro 7
schedule ON both main lines a.
branches and this will offer an app

to get in and probably secure mc,
desirable schedule than the prese,
which for this section is about the me,
ineonvenient we could have. Under t.
present schedule this town need Il
look for any great amount of busin{
or visitors from any points along Z
line for those who desire to visit I,
county seat and use the railroad as IT,
means that they have to come
on the evening train and stay &,
nights and one day at least If they ha,
any business to transact, the nature
which is such they cannot attend to t,

FOR INCREASED PRODUCTION
Pep Club Working for Increased Food
Production-School Students Assist

The Pep club, through its committee
on increased food production of which
DIR. c. w. Slusser is chairman, has taken
active charge of this important work
and has already listed a number of
vacant lots for gardening this summer.
Those lots which have been donated by
the owners, w. w. Brown, Inland Alb
stract Company, Joe Mcdonald and a
number of others and will DC given
over the gardeners free of charge.
This is surely a commendable move,
both on the part of the owners Of the
lots and DR.. Slusser's committee, and
with the ground free of charge it seems
that all possible obstacles have been re-
moved and the project of increased food
production in Grangeville this year is
already, through the activity of the
Pep club, practically an assured fact.
1t is requested that other owners of
lots, anyone who has lot or vacant
tract of ground in or near the city,
which could be put into use as vegeta-
tion produced this summer, list such
tracts at once with the Pep club COM
mittee. If you have such "a tract see
DIR. Slusser at once or communicate with
him. Don t let your lot remain idle all
year. Help in this patriotic and i'm
portant work.
Residents of the city who wish to aid
in this plan and who are willing to
properly plant, cultivate and harvest a
| crop of vegetables etc, on small
scale are urged to see DR.. Slusser. For
| those who are unable to secure lots
otherwise, this plan has been adopted
and an effort will be made to provide
| tracts for all who are sincere in the
| desire to assist in the work.
Through the furtherance of a practi
cal plan of cooperation between the
Pep club, Superintendent Wadsworth OF
the city schools and the teachers of the
| fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades
nearly all the students of those grades
have been listed to assist in this great
er food production plan also. The Pei
club committee on increased food pro
duction has inaugurated the move.
1t is the plan to divide those
student enlisted in the work into
squads and place, each squad under the
jurisdiction of a competent member o1
the Pep club. Each squad will be giver
a lot or tract of ground to work upor
and the Pep club will furnish the finan
ces to buy the necessary seeds to b'
used by the school children. Next fal
when the crop is sold, the amount taker
to purchase seed will be refunded t'
the Pep club, according to present plans
The school students are evidencing
wide interest in the project and it L
expected that a keen rivalry will b'
manifested between the members of tn
different squads.

NAVY RECRUITS IN TRAINING.

Norman Jacobsen returned Monday
from Portland, where he was sent along
with the other boys who enlisted in the
navy last week for final examination.
Norman failed to pass the final ex
animation ON account of enlarged ton
sils and was given transportation home.
The other boys got through alright ex-
cept Alfred Richards who was to be
operated upon for rupture at Spokane
by doctor who had volunteered his
services in Just such cases during a
patriotic meeting held in that city re-
Gently but who seemed to have under
gone a change since then and crawled
out of his patriotic utterances since,
much to the digust of the navy recruit
ing officer at Spokane who took the
doctor at his word and acted in good
faith as well as young Richards who
did all in his power to secure the opera
ton that would make him acceptable to
Uncle Sam. OF the four recruits
passing, Harry Long was sent to the
Bremerton navy yard as second class
machinist, Maurice Cone as apprentice
machinist to Mares Island and Wilson
and Mcpherson as apprentice seaman to
the same place where they arrived sun
day and are now in training. Several
other young men are contemplating go
| ing from Grangeville in the near future
and the number will probably be in
creased to six. Another call for 10000
additional men for the navy has beer
sent out by the navy recruiting on Ulcers
and from present indications the young
man who enlists in the navy today II
pretty apt to be assigned to ship ant
| in active service in two or three months
