STATEMENT OF J. H. HANIeAN,

To the Voters of Payette County:
As the duties CT my office make il
impossible to make a personal can
vas of the County l wish to thank
you for past fayors and to invite
your support at the coming election.
For over a year now the greater
part Of my time has been devoted to
War Work. For this service a mem
Der of a Local Board for a County
OF this size is entitled to, and may
receive, a salary of not to exceed
fifty dollars per month, but no mem-
Der of this Board has ever charged
one cent for services rendered. My
salary as Sheriff has enabled me to
do this. According to the Regula-
tons we are as effectually Drafted
as are those who go to the Camps,
and the Provost Marshal asks that
regardless Of political affiliations
there be no changes in the member
ship of Local Boards. Work with
out pay is a burden 1 am pcorly
able to carry, and l submit the mat
Ter to your sense of justice and as
sure you whatever your verdict may
De 1 shall accept it cheerfully.
Yours for the winning OF the war.
]. H. Hanigan.

THE GLORY Of A
SECOND CHANCE

= little while ago the pity Of the
nation was awakened by the an
nouncement that sCme American boys
mad been sentenced to death because
they were found eeping at the post
OF duty. Iney had been gently rails
ed with the shelter, moderation and
sattsfactions Of the central western
home. Unused to the hard drill and
nexorable rigors Of army life, they
found themselves too wearied to re-
main awake through the night even
while amid the frightful dangers and
possibilities Of picket duty where the
slightest breach might mean tie fatal
tal OF naIions. Nothing was left
Tor the couIt-martial but to pass the
dealh sentence hut happily that
was not the last resort. An appeal
was made to President Wilson, who
reviewed the cases and following the
precedent Of an illustrious predeces-
sor, the dictates of his own judg-
ment, and the great chiyalrous and
tender heart Of the American people,
granted paldon to the boys and they
were ssnt back into the grim real-l
ties OF the desperate struggle. They
did not complain or linen. Their
comrades il arms were happy and
took up the work Of inspiring and en-
cOuraglEg them. or even whln the
resident pardons, the pardon OF the
soldiers must aIso be experienced, or
life to the pardoned would be miser7i
able. Wien the Great Gcd pardons
his erTng and wayward children, |
his people must also pardon tnem, !
or the full joys OF salvation do not
come. II
The pardCneQ soldier boys went
Jack--no doubt with new apprecia-I
rion OF sne obligations and a deeper
sense Of the ties that bind-and their
and courage proved their
1orthinsSs OF this second .-cAance.
None of the soldiers faced the storm
If tire and death with better met
lie than they.
Tne other day attention was CALI
ID afresh to one OF these young SOL
liers. He had gene over the top and
made the supreme sacrifice. If any
race OF blame sLill rested upon him
or the human failure OF that fate
Vi night when he slept at the post
f duty, the blood OF his own immo-l
ltion upon the altar OF his coun- a
~ has WASHED it away forever. He I
cached the heights. He won the i.
roWn Of the happy warrior. S

Dear Sir:
Answering your request of the
other day for information relative
to the integrity and ability OF john
Il. Jefferis as an oiicer, We big &c
state that VIC are glad to report 70
you relative to such. While liY.ns !
in Baker Mr.. Jeffers was constable
and Deputy Sheriff. He was fearless
in performing his duties, and never
failed to do his duty according to
law, regardless of whom it might
affect. UndHr the provisions of the
Oregon law it so happened that he
was often called upon to take charge
of violations of the laws against SELL
ing intoxicating liquor, gambling
d pend upon John" rs we all
called him, to get results and to
round up these yiolators. Here the
Justice Court has jurisd :ction over
a large amount of business both
civil and criminal. In civil matters
Mr. Jefferis was careful in making
service and attending to the busi-
ness of the Court. AS a Deputy Eher-
iff he worked under the Circuit
Court and his services were just as
satisfactory as they were under the
Justice Court. For these reasons We
are free to state that, in our opinion,
you will be we'll served If John is
elected Sheriff of your Comfy.
Trusting that the foregoing answer
fully your wishes in this matter, we
are, Very truly yo-rs.

TO THE VOTERS OF
PAYETTE COUNTY

4 / ann a cand date for the Uft4ce
of County SupeIin ,enuent of ,o~hoo S
because it is an o.pOrOuni.y fl
greater service. | am not. for one
minute, candldats for the 0rIi~e
merely for the salary. If L did nj
believe l can put sr<atsr vitality in
TO the schools of tha County l void
not court the responsibility OF the
office.
The center of emphasis in educa-
ton, from the standpoint of the
County Superintende MT, is the rural
school-the sole educational oppor-
tunity of most of our agricu.tural
population. The bet,erment Of the
rural schools cannot be accomplish
ed by fine theories from the county
Superintendent office, nor by pass
ing wise laws in their faY o.. Wise
laws are a step in the right direc-
ton, but without the winn ng of the
people to desire better things in
eudcation, the laws will prove fu-
tile and fruitless.
l propose, if elected, to spand
comparatively little time in the Of
flee and much time wi b ths rurll
schools and the rural people, maxi
ing almost a ho1se-to-house SanS ass,
when necessary, to instruct, inform,
convince and convert the farmer to-
seeing that there is greater value
in his children and their future
than in his livestock on the farm.
Objections to improvement must be
met, mistakes remedied, and new
linss of advancement initiated. Mis-
conceptions must be removed, and
valid and honest criticisms must be
and hone stly answered. My
endeavor shall be to make the rural
schools moro efficient by relating
heir work to the community life
If the people, educating their chill
lren for country life instead of /
away from it. The schools are not
without blame for the desire Of the
arm-bred boy to move to the city
because they have not trainod the
10Y for the farm. With the co-opera-
ion of the County Agricultural Agent
should want thoroughly wide-awake
'oys' and girls agricultural clubs N
very school training children for
heir future work on She farm. Only
n this way can we make good citi-
ems on the farm and keep good citi-
ems on the farm. To this end J
hedge all my energy to the chill /,
rem Of Payette County. 1,
Very respectfully,
Anna Johnson. ,

CHAPTER XVI.

The next day we received orders to
march to an unknown destination. We
soon arrived at the depot Of Apremont
where we were obliged to wait. The
depot had been destroyed. The next
station was Chatel. Both of these
places are about five kilometers behind
the front.
The prisoners were assembled In
Apremont. Several of them had come
from that town. Their families were
still In their homes ana many prisoners
asked permission to visit them. had
occasion to witness such visit in APP
remont. Two reserves led one of the
prisoners to the house, which he had
pointed out as his. The prisoners
young wife was in the kitchen with her
three children. We followed them into
the house.
The woman turned pale as she sud-
denly saw her husband. They en-
braced. We went outside for we felt
out Of place there.
The woman had not had letter
from her husband for five months be-
cause the Germans were between her
and her husbands army. He had been
in the trenches for a month, realizing
how nearby his wife and children were,
yet unable to reach them and with no
way Of knowing whether they were
alive or dead.
How he must have felt as the French
shells flew over his head on their way
to Apremont!
There was no way of knowing
whether the glow in the sky caused
by the burning of house was fur.
nished by his home or not. Every
thing became a torturing uncertainty
and all of life was hell.
