GET WRITING CRAZE
Yankee Fighters Heap Troubles
on the Censor.
When Out Of the Trenches He "Tells
EN- About Il" In ReAms
and Reams.

Paris.-The letter-writing craze has
struck the American army.
Just as soon as he gets out Of the
trenches the doughboy washes up.
scurries around for pen and paper and
sits down to tell 'em all about 1t. And
he tells 'em In reams and reams.
"Well, let's see," he says, as he
under his cot i've got to write to ma
and pa, Kittie and Johnny Boggs over
at Canton, o. Then, owe Nell John
son letter. And I've got to sWibble
few lines to Uncle Abe and Aunt
Minnie. After that I'll answer those
letters Of Bill and Tom."
Writing materials-paper and en-
velopes-are not always plentiful
where the doughboy Is stationed, and
for q while it was doubtful whether
the last of his correspondence list
would receive their letters, for the
supply In the small town stores was
soon exhausted. But the Y. M. G. A.,
learning of this scarcity, soon ar
ranged to supply all contingents. 1t
sent out seven million sheets Of writ
ing paper and some 100000 envelopes
a month.
With the tremendous growth Of the
expeditionary force, orders have been
increased and the estimate for next
year is 12O,OOO,OOO sheets of paper and
100000 envelopes.
This means that the Yanks will use
about 72O tons Of writing materials
72O tons of news and comfort for the
folks at home.
And when the censor officers stop to
consider it they grow weak, for it is
their duty, along with everything else,
to censor the letters and see to it that
the soldier uses discretion and doesn't
mention things Of military Importance.

NEzPERCE STRICKEN
WITH INFLUENZA
VISION ASKED TO HELP
i TOWN WHERE DISEASE HAS
BEEN FATAL TO FOUR

LEWISTON.-Dr. E.. L. White Of
the White hospital, Lewiston, who
has been assisting in handling the
influenza epidemic in Nez Perez,
made an urgent appeal today that Is
or more Lewiston people go to Nez
Perez today to act as nurses there
and that as many physicians as pos
sible also go. DR.. White states "there
is not a family in Nez Perce where
there is not one to two cases, and in
some instances entire families are
stricken. The situation is not con-
fined to the town. There are cases
in the country where whole families
are ill and no one to attend them"
It was stated that DR.. Gist, DR..
Taylor and DR.. Dunlap have been try
ing to meet the situation, but that
DR.. Gist is i'll and the remaining two
physicians are worked to the point
of exhaustion. DR.. White urged quick
action on the part of Lewiston people
today, asking that those who can
make the trip by automobile reach
Nez Perez at the earlist possible
moment.
Mayor Osmers and P. R. Bevis,
president of the Lewiston Commercial
CluU, III cooperation VIII LII. OuSdu
Bruce, city health officer, and DR..
Alley, county physician, are making
arrangements for relief work. The
Lewiston Red Cross chapter urges
that all women who have taken home
nursing courses report.
Four Deaths Reported.
County Auditor J. B. White died
yesterday evening about o'clock.

TELEPHONE RAISE
TO Be PROTESTED
MOSCOW CITIZENS WILL OBJECT
TO LOCAL COMPANY 'INCREAS-
ING ITS RATES

The hearing on the application of
the Moscow Telephone company for
the privilege of increasing it's rates,
which was to have been held here
on October %, has been indefinitely
postponed because of the influenza
order which forbids the holding of
any public meetings. George G..
Pickett, city attorney, received notice
from the public utilities commission
of Idaho, by telegraph today, that
the hearing has been indefinitely
postponed"
Moscow citizens have registered a
vigorous protest against raising tele-
phone rates here. The rates are re-
garded as high now, and the propo-
sition to increase them has aroused
much feeling here. "A petition pro-
and stating that the company pro-
poses to increase rates in town and
double the rates on rural lines, and
pledging the signers to assist finan-

vance, is being circulated and liber-
ally signed.
The telephone system here was
owned by T. A. Meeker, who sold it
last spring to A. T. West, Of Dav-
export, who asked, soon after buying
the system, for permission to increase
the rates. Moscow citizens and pat
rons Of the rural lines are preparing
to put up vigorous fight against the
proposed increase in rates and are
preparing complaints against the
service which will be presented to
the utilities commission when it meets
