He CrOwed Too Loud.

A Troy, Idaho, dispatch to the
Spokane Chronicle, dated Nov.
25th, says:
When Gust Rieber shouted
"Hurrah for the kaiser" in the
Smoke House last night he was
promptly knocked down by a big
burly blacksmith, a loyal citizen
of the town. Rieber admitted
that he kept a picture of the kai-
ser hanging in his home and the
town marshal Immediately pro-
cured the picture. Rieber was
compelled to tear the picture to
bits and then kiss the Stars and
Stripes in the presence of a large
crowd. Rieber, who formerly
served in the German army, re-
ceived his citizenship papers
within the last year.

BRITISH WIN
GREAT BATTLE
Hindenburg Defense is Smash,
ed in Wonderful Victory.

What army men consider the
greatest victory of the war was
won last week by General Haig's
army on the western front in
northern France. What is known
as the great Hindenburg defense
line, which the Germans thought
was impregnable, was smashed
on 32-mile front for depth of
5 and 6 miles. More than 10,
Germans were killed and about
the same number taken prisoner.
Hundreds of large guns were al
so taken in the wonderful drive.
More than 200 of the huge war
tanks took part in the battle. A
tank-as most of our readers per-
haps KNOWS simply moving
steel fort run by gas engines,
built on the caterpillar tractor
style, and is perhaps the size and
weight of an ordinary locomotive.
They are armed with small can
non and machine guns and are so
heavily armored that nothing but
large shells will penetrate or in
jure them. 1t is estimated that
these tanks cost about $50, 900
each. These steel monsters trav-
ell slow but sure, and easily
cross over the toughest ground
and trenches.
Imagine several hundreds of
these moving fortresses lined up
ready for action and in the lead
of a vast army of soldiers.
Just before starting on this ia.
nous drive General Byng, in
command of the British troops,
gave this order, which will gc
down in history, with the pecul
lar orders and commands of othel
great generals when on the verge
of making a charge. He said:
I'VE expect every tank to d.
it's damnedest!'
And they did. The entire civ
ilized world knows the result O
this battle will go a long way il

KeISey-Breugenan Wedding.

The marriage of Mr.. Will Kel-
sey and Miss Antonio Breugeman
was solemnized with a nuptial
high mass in st. Marys Catholic
church on Wednesday, Nov. 18th.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Father Willibrord in the
presence of the relatives and a
large number of friends. The
attending couple were Frank A.
Kelsey and Miss Cecilia Breuge-
man, brother and sister of the
bride and groom, respectively.
The bride was handsomely
gowned in white georgette crepe
with wreath and veil. The brides
maid was attired in a beautiful
white silk dress.
The wedding party immediate
ly repaired to the home of the
brides parents west of town,
where a sumptuous feast was
served and all-day reception held
and which was enjoyed by a large
number of relatives and immedi-
ate friends. Among the relatives
present from a distance were Joe
and Albert Breugeman of Mos
COW, brothers of the bride. In
the evening the groom treated
the dancing public to a free dance
in the X. of G. hall.
The bride is the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry A.
Breugeman and has resided here
all of her life. She is a most
charming young lady and enjoys
a large circle of friends.
The groom, since coming here
from Los Angeles a few years
ago, had been employed until
recently in the Hoene Hardware
store, but is now employed at
his old trade of contracting
painter.
The happy couple were the re-
cipients of many useful and beau
tiful presents, and they begin
their new lives with the best
wishes of a host of friends. They
are residing for the present in
the Kelsey house in the north
end of town.

Farmers Getting Rich.

An example of the degree to
which farmers have been enrich
ed by the war is furnished by
Dickinson County, Kansas. In
the ten years from 1907 to 1917
the population has increased but
slightly, namely, from "a, ,373 to
Is, 705, but the value of its field
crops increased from 1873, 900
in 1907 to Sc, $40, 900 in 1916, and
is expected to pass the 81, 900, 900
mark this year, according to the
New York Post.
In the ten years the value of
the wheat crop has grown from
81, 122, 900 to So, 900, 900; of milk
and butter from $3.50, 600 to 81, :
600, 900; of alfalfa and forage
crops from 1924 900 to over a
million dollars, the price having
risen from So to $40 a ton. In
the same period the county has
bought and paid for 3100 auto
mobiles, and is now buying them
at the rate of two a day, and
bank deposits and real estate val
ues have more than doubled. All
of this increase has come from
the soil, for there are no factor.
les except grain mills. The rec
ord fails to show for what amount
of liberty bonds these wealthy
: farmers subscribed, but it does
: prove that the next drive should
be aimed especially at the rural
= districts.

The little village at the main
entrance to Camp Lewis has been
closed and the Joy Zone, as the
soldiers jokingly term it is now a
thing of the past. The place be-
came infested with bootleggers,
immoral women and people of
such low element that the at
mosphere was not elevating
enough to suit Major General
Greene so the place was soon
ordered closed.
Another village, designed by
Architect Riggs of Spokane, on
the Swiss chalet style, is to go up
to take the place of the one closed,
but this time it will be located on
government ground and be direct
ly under government supervision.
The plans contemplate a fine
modern hotel, probably capable of
caring for six hundred guests,
and all the other little places of
business, soft drinks, billiards,
bowling, cafes and cafeterias,
not to mention the chute-the-
Echutes, Ferris wheels and fine
dance halls. Three big movie
theaters will be attractions of the
new city, and they are sure to be
appreciated and patronized by
thousands of the boys in khaki
who find Tacoma or Seattle {

IDAHO SQUARELY
BEHIND PRESIDENT
SAYS GOVERNOR

In response to queries from tho
World and Times, New York. as to
where Idaho stands in the international
crisis with Germany, Governor Alex
ander wired as follows:
The World: Sentiment in Idaho is
unanimous that the president must be
backed up in any action that he may
take. This is shown by the action of
the Idaho legislature, which by unani-
nous vote in both branches, today prof
fered the president, our lives, our for
tunes and our sacred honor in case
Germany should involve this country
In a war which would become neces-
integrity of this nation.
The Times: Idaho regrets that the
break with Germany had to come but
there was nothing else to do and the
people Of this state stand unitedly
back of the president with all the re-
sources at their command. There is
no division of sentiment. Both branch
es Of the Idaho legislature, nearly
equally divided politically, unanimously
pledge the support of this state to the
president
The international crisis and quick
action taken by the legislature yes
terday was the one topic of converse
ton last night. A representative of
the Capital News transmitted to both
branches of the legislature the fact
relations with Germany had been
broken off and it was on this infor-
nation Speaker Alfred made the an
nouneement TO the house which re-
suited in the prompt pledging of Ida
