nouncement, having recently been un
officially estimated at 100000. On the
basis Of The number thus far reported,
il may be assumed that the deaths
from all causes, including disease and
accidents, arc probably less than 10
per cent. and may not be more than
10 per cent. of the total casualties. On
this assumption the loss of life in the
American eXpeditionary forces to date
are about 10000 or $4,000"
The total Of deaths due to the in
tlucnza epidemic in this country is
not known, the announcement said, as
only the I6 cities for which figures
were given report vital statistics to
the census bureau. The greatest NOR
tality due to the epidemic, in proper
ton to population, was :. per thOus-

Juliaetta Canning Fruit

The cannery at Juliaetta is now
operating to full capacity and is
employing from Is to 80 women
and girls. Bings and Lambert
cherries are now being canned in
large quantities as the crop is very
good this year and fair prices are
being paid. There are a number
of fine cherry orchards near Julia
eta and the favorable market con-
ditions are encouraging to the
growers. 1t is stated that an acre
of ground will grow 80 trees and
that at ten or twelve years old
these trees should average from
800 to 400 pounds of cherries. AT
7 cents pound the gross value OF
the yield for each tree would be
from 81 to % dollars.
Soon after the cherries have beer
taken care of there will be large
acreage of tomatoes which will bt
disposed of by the cannery.

ing them dragged. Road-dragging
fits in About the best of any work
on the farm, for a man can drag
roads for a few hours when it is
too wet to get into the field, and
he certainly appreciates having
done so when it comes time to go
to town with the wagon or the
Ford. Farmers who have dragged
the roads have the hearty
thanks of all other farmers in the
country and the praise of all visit
ors, but the roll of honor should be
increased.

Demand For Labor

Every community will be combed
for war workers. War industries
are short nearly 100000 common
laborers. and lack of workers in the
coal-mining industry is imperilling
all war production. There is also
a serious shortage of skilled labor.
One of the largest munition plants,
turning out heavy caliber guns. is
short 1900 machinists. The war
plants of Connecticut and Maryland
are undermanned 5000 machinists.
The United States Employment
Service will begin an intensive re.
cruiting of workers for war work
from the non-essential industries.
Employment offices will be increas.

Celebration Cleared $500

Southwick had a big time at the
celebration July 4th. A big crowd
attended and spent verv pleasant
day as we'll as a profitable one.
Money was spent freely and every
thing above actual expenses was
turned into the treasury of the
Southwick Red Cross. In the
Southwick notes in this issue will
be found an itemized statement of
the finances at the end Of the days
celebration.
The management deserves credit
for the splendid manner in which
the program for the day was hand
led. State Senator Randall of
Lewiston delivered an address and
musical numbers and drills made
up a very interesting entertain.
ment. The flag raising in the
morning was one of the important
events of the day. A ball game
and bowery dance in the evening
rounded out the day. Music wa:
furnished during intervals by the
Kendrick band and for the dance by
Carey's Orchestra from Moscow.

They Stick By You

Home merchants live and neigh
Dor with their farmers. They have
that sympathetic tendency that
only grows in small town. The
home merchant knows the people
'of his community, calls them by
name and co-operates with them.
The mail order concerns go on a
hard cash basis. All they are in
terested in is in raking in the
money. They are cold blooded and
have never yet showed a spirit Of
cooperation toward the farmer.
They never are on hand to do help
full acts in time of need. They
never show kindly sympathy in
time of sickness. They never con-
tribute to local causes nor do they
ever come out and work for the
good of this or any other commun-
ity.
The home merchant has a real
inte est in his community and is
forever working for community ad-
vancement and always works to
build it up. Just think of the
many kindly and neighborly acts
your merchants have done simply
because they have the common
bond of sympathetic interest that
we all gain in small community
like this.
Did la mail order house ever show
any interest when there was sick
ness in your family? The mail or
der house is always absent when
the time comes for those neighbor-
ly acts that bind us together as
community. 1t does seem that
folks should stick by the men who
cooperate with them-the men
who are their friends and neigh
bors, all the time, in cloudy or in
fair weather.

Will Protect Birds

Local sportsmen report game
birds plentiful this season. The
long continued dry weather has
been particularly favorable during
the Matching season. The open sea-
son for grouse and native pheasants
begins August 16 and the season
for China pheasants will open No
vember l and continue ten days.
There is no open season for quail
or prairie chickens.
Local parties who have been in
the habit of shooting birds a few
days before the season opens will
be watched this season and prose
cuted if caught. The game laws
will be rigidly enforced and mum.
ber of local sports have declared
their intention Of lending any as
sistance which they can to see that
the laws are observed.

Emmel Family Returned

H. B. Emmel and family arrived
Monday from the coast where Mr..
Emmel has been stationed at the
training camp at Vancouver, doing
some preliminary Y. M. C. A. work
to fit him for overseas service. He
is due in New York July Is and
from there will be sent to France.
His family will remain here until
after the war.
Mr.. Emmel is intensely interest
ed in his work, which he believes
will consist largely in training the
soldiers in athletics. For this work
he is particularly we'll fitted.
While at Vancouver he outpointed
the champion boxer in the regiment
and in this manner made the ac-
quaintance of practically every man
in the regiment, which under ordi-
nary conditions would have taken
him some time. He was known in
the camp as the "Big Y" There
is no question about his success in
the work which he has chosen. He
is very popular among the young
men and will have a splendid in
f1uence over them.

Chautauqua Next Year

At a meeting of business men
Thursday morning it was decided
to sign up for a Chautauqua for
1919, with. the Cadmean Chautau-
qua Co. of Topeka, Kansas. The
contract carries with it a guarantee
of $3.50. Twenty signers are neces.
sary To- insure the entertainment
features and this number has beer
secured. A number of farmer:
have signifed their willingness te
sign in order to help fill up the
contract with sufficient number
of names to form a strong Chau
tauqua Association.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1918-07-12
The Chautauqua a Success

The fact that an increased atten-
dance each successive day of the
Chautauqua was counted at the
big tent is a good indication that
the program was considered good
bv those who attended. Every af-
ternoon and evening a very inter-
esting entertainment was given and
there was enough variety in the
class of talent furnished to make
each number distinctive one.
Miss Flora o. Harrington of
Kansas City had charge of the Jun
ior Chautauqua and trained the
children for the pageant given last
night. E. W. Button was superin-
tendent and was assisted by Mathes
H. Pattu. Mr.. Button has received
an appointment for Y. M. C. A.
duty in France and after a prelimi-
nary months training will go there
to begin his work.
The management of the local as
sociation has been working under
difficulties on account of the fact
that weather conditions have forced
the farmers to stick very close to
their work. The attendance for
this reason from the country was
not as large as expected. There
was small deficit which can easily
be made good by the guarantors.

Juliaetta Celebrated

Juliaetta held a successful cele-
bration in the grove at the lower
end of town July 4th. 1t was not
extensively advertised and the
crowd was small but a very enjoy
able time was spent by those who
attended. Prof. Howard T. Lewis
of the state university delivered
patriotic address in the morning.
Musical numbers and other attrac-
tions made an interesting program.
In the afternoon J. 1. Mitcham
made an address.
At the close of the afternoons
program Hon. Columbus Clark of
Juliaetta mounted the Red Cross
stand table and proceeded to auc-
tioneer to the highest bidders the
leftover cakes, pies, apples. pop
corn ice cream, ice. etc. Cakes
sold as high as $500 each, and pies
sold at from 81 down to 25 cents
each. The money was all turned
into the Red Cross branch and, af-
ter expenses were deducted. it was
found that the net sum of about
500 was cleared.

The Soldiers Chances

Great as the danger and large as
the losses in the aggregate, the in
dividual soldier has plenty of
chances of coming out of the war
unscathed, or at least not badly in
jured.
Based on the mortality statistics
of the allied armies, soldiers
chances are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty.nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dy-
ing from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a
limb.
Will live five years longer because
of physical training. is freer from
disease in the Army than in civil
life, and has better medical care at
the front than at home.
In others wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to | from bullets
in this war l man dies from disease
to every 10 from bullets.
For those of our fighting mer
who do not escape scatheless, the
Government under the soldier anC
sailor insurance law gives protec
tion to the wounded and their de
pendents and to the families anc
dependents of those who make thu
supreme sacrifice for their country

Potlatch Pine For Aeroplanes

Potlatch pine, both white and
yellow, is to be used in the con-
struction of aeroplanes for use in
the war. During the past few
days the department has perfected
arrangements for cutting timber
for this purpose in the Potlatch
Lumber company camps, the work
to be done under the direction of
Mr.. Dougles, of the Blackwell Lum-
ber Co., who has been made SUPER
intendent Of aeroplane lumber pro-
duction in the north Idaho district.
The utmost care must be exer-
cised in selecting and cutting these
trees, and in transporting them to
the mill. The logs must be care
fully handled. They must be haul
ed in from the woods with teams
and loaded on the cars with chains
instead of hooks, so that they will
show no scars or marks, and must
be cut two feet longer than needed
to allow for end checking. At the
mill the lumber must be sent to
the dry kiln under cover. Not a
ray of sunlight must touch it.
After remaining in the dry kiln "a
days it is ready to ship to the
factory.-Latah County Press.

Buys Gothic Farm

Harry Driscoll has purchased the
Robt. Gothic place consisting of
l59 acres which lies Ii miles south
of town at $50 per acre. Mr..
Gothic gives possession after the
sale which is billed for July IL,
and Mr.. Driscol gets the entire
crop from the place this year. Mr..
Gothic has boy in the army and
another boy who may be called al
anytime, and as he is unable to
farm the place alone he decided to
sell. The deal was made through
N. R. Shepherd, the local real es
tate man.-Troy News.

Kendrick Will Not Pave

At a final meeting of the village
board at the town hall last Friday
night it was definitely decided to
abandon the idea of paving Main
Street, at least until more favor
able time. 1t was an adjourned
session of the protest meeting, held
the previous Wednesday night, one
member of the council being absent
that night and it being the desire
of the council to have all members
present to consider the important
matter of paving.
A large number of protests,
largely from nonresident property
owners of the paving improvement
district, were filed with the village
board. These were duly consider
ed by the board but carried very
little weight as they were worth
less from legal standpoint.
The decision of the board stood
three in favor and two against paw
ing. The reasons given for not
favoring paving at this time were
to the effect that with the sewer,
sidewalk and grading assessments
added to the burden of the war
calls for money, the people here
were not in position TO bear the
added expense Of paving. This
definitely settles the paving ques-
tion until after the war.

Frank Mays Farm Electrified

Frank May of American ridge
now has one of the most complete
electrical equipments for farm
home of any place in the northwest.
Three transformers take the power
from the Potlatch Consolidated
Electric Company's line which pass
es his farm. w. E. Coble spent
forty days wiring the buildings and
installing the electrical equipment,
which is of the very best.
Mr.. Nav has IS electric lights on

barn is lighted from the floor to the
roof. He has two motors, one a
stationary motor used for pumping
water and the other a portable one
which he can use for running his
tanning mill, cream separator or
any other power machine. Mr..
May has one of the best farms in
the Potlatch country and his new
electrical appliances will make it
one of the most comfortable and
convenient homes in the community.

Saloons Refrain
From Protesting
Sweeping Closing Order Unmet BY
Amy Kind Of Organized Opposition OF
Liquor Dealers

WASHINGTON, March ia strange
phenomenon is disclosed as a result
of the drastic order closing the sa-
looms within the five mile radius of
permanent training camps which goes
into effect Saturday, March 16.
Not single organized protest has
been received by the department
against the enactment of the law The
only movement that could be classed
as a protest, has been received from
a committee of Annapolis saloon men
headed by their congressman, which
asked for further time in order to
close out their business
AS far as known there is only one
brewery affected by this order and its
owner did not protest the order but
asked in a roundabout manner if the
order affected his establishment in the
manufacture of beers and its sale to
private families in the city He was
informed that the brewery would have
to close.
