Through rugged canyons, dark and
deep
That strive her strength to cage
Her Kissing waves with fury leap
AS downward doth the Payette sweep
With strengthening rage.
And woe to those who do not know
Who try to cross her path;
Those reckless ones who try to show
They care but little for the glow
OF Payette's vicious wrath.
But when the Payette rounds the bend
Where layeth Emmett town,
Her evil temper seems to mend,
Her anger cometh to an end
She lays away her frown.
For when the Payette gains the sight
OF Emmett valley fair
A valley spread with colors bright,
A thing of beauty and delight
She can but stop and stare.
Forgotten is her bitter mood,
She smooths her angry face,
Her former manner, once so rude,
Now turns to one of quietude,
And most benignant grace.
And smiling pleasantly, she goes
Serenely on her way;
Her changed demeanor plainly shows
Her deep contentment as she flows
By Emmett town today.

ONLY ONE FLAG NOW.

While love blows hot and cold;

The new faith and the old.
The past's dead things
Aside he filings;
Hank to his new made vow:
Only one flag Only one flag! there's
only one flag now!
Oh, blue-eyed Hans, your choice was
plain
When, with your soul your own,
You left behind the eagles twain
To hail the eagle lone.
Back flew the bars
To show the stars,
And still they light your brow.
Only one flagl Only one flag! there's
only one flag nowl
You from the country of the Slav!
You from the Alpine crag!
Only one country now you have
Only one love, one flag.

The Payette, slow and dignifed,
Sweeps down by Emmett's door;
We look upon its moving tide
And speak with words of honest pride
OF all its bounteous store.
Serene and smiling, night and day,
Most constant it doth flow,
And ever seems TO us to say
Farewell, good folks, Pm on my way
To spread good cheer below"
We note its aspect, now so tame,
SO friendly and so bland
And wonder at the evil fame
That hangs upon the Payette's name
Throughout the Western land.
For tales are told with bated breath
or Payette's wicked spite;
OF those who went to sudden death
And now lie quietly beneath
Its waves of silvery white.
For. those courageous ones who dare
To brave its angry floods
And face its perils, are aware
No other river can compare
With Payette's jealous moods.
Ear up, she rises in the range
In banks of melting snow;
But soon begins to swell and change
nto a creature fierce and strange
Who will no mercy show.

Let the green flags wave! says the

not consist merely in the waving of
flags and the singing of songs. 1t
means hard work and sacrifice. In
this crisis of world economies, when
every pound Of food counts, one of the
most effective acts of patriotism will
be the planting of food crops. Every
green spear and leaf waving in the
breezes Of 1917 will be flag Of pa
triotism. Let's get the little green

Warm words of appreciation for
the support which they expect Ger

ent national crisis have been spoken
by many Americans recently. And
these have been the thinking men of
the nation. Much Of the present gen

cans springs from such stock as up
held the losing cause of democracy
in the revolution of 184S in Germany.
Many of these men, failing to estab-
lish democracy in their own land, were
forced by autocracy to save their lives
by seeking refuge in America. | the
COS, when American democracy was
threatened they reacted with the true
instinct of democracy. Their blood
dyed the fields Of many battles in the
cause of the union, and never were
men more loyal to any cause than
these Germans were to the cause of
the republic. 1t is because SO many
German Americans are the descend
ants of these men that there is such
confidence in their loyalty now.

American commodity prices are
running wild. Wheat has jumped
far above two dollars. Corn is
around dollar and half. Cotton
scared above twenty-one cents a
pound. Steel plates have been sold
at five times the price in normal
years. Leather has risen to a point
where it has resulted in virtual
boycott on shoes. All the countries
at war have fixed the maximum limit
of price which is paid for many arti-
cles purchased by government. The
United States will have to do the
same thing. The American people
ought not to be the only belligerents
in the world who are left unprotected
by their own government in the mat
ter of prices. Otherwise the rich will
be able to bid for commodities at any
figure, while the poor suffer in des-
titution. But the control should ex-
tend to ali staple foods, and not be
confined to those products the farmer
produces.

Philadelphia doctors intend to do
something which no other class of
men anywhere has ever done during
a war. 1t is proposed that every
doctor who goes to the front shall
have all his patients cared for by
others who cannot go. The doctors
who do the work will turn all the
fees over to the absent doctors. That
is a great beginning, but it is not the
whole story. When the war ends
and the army surgeon comes home,
all his old patients-or those who re-
main alive-will be returned. That
is another way of being patriotic and
is worthy of emulation in every city
and town in the country.
