MAKES UNLOYAL
STATEMENTS

Sheriff Hanagin; j. E. Turner, coun-
ty food administrator; C. w. Geisler,
chairman county defense league; P.
Monroe Smock, chairman of the in
vestigation committee, made a trip
to the camp at Paddock Valley a few
days ago, where it had been reported
that substitutes for flour was being
wasted. After close investigation no
arrest was made as the conditions were
not so bad as reported.
Michael Kanard, German living in
Paddock Valley, was brought before
the County Council of Defense last
Saturday charged with having made
disloyal remarks regarding the United
States government. Several witnesses
were sworn and examined and it was
the finding of the members of the De-
fense Council that the said Michael
Kanard was guilty of making disloyal
and unpatriotic utterantes. The fol-
lowing is the action of the Defense
Council:
We believe the said Michael Kanard
sincere in his confession and accept
the sorrow he expresses as genuine
and his promise to faithfully defend
by deed and word of mouth his gov
eminent upon every and all occasions
and we recommend that further in
vestigation be suspended and that
during future good behavior the said
Michael Kanard be regarded as good
American citizen who has made ser
ious mistake against his government
In time of its sore need and that we
gladly regard his repentance as sin
cere enjoining upon him the necessity
of arduously supporting every act
of his government with every inch of
his flesh and every drop of his blood
to all of which he has assented most
heartily so to do.
The said Michael Kanard has this
day purchased 500 worth of war saw
ing stamps as an evidence Of his good
faith

REV. D. c. PETERS
At CAMP LEWIS

We have a letter from Rev. D. c.
Peters, former pastor Of the Chris
tian church at Payette, who has, since
leaving Payette, had charge of the
Christian church at Honolulu, Hawaii,
in which he states his church has
loaned him to the Y. NJ. C. A. for war
work and that he has been assigned
to Camp Lewis, where he can be found
or addressed at Y. NJ. C. A. headquar-
ters. He is quite anxious to meet
the boys who are at that camp from
Payette and the Payette valley. If
the friends of the boys who are there
will write Rev. Peters at the above
address, giving the specific address
of our boys from here, or write the
boys informing them where they can
locate Mr.. Peters, we are sure 1t will
be appreciated by Mr.. Peters and our
boys who have the privilege of meet
ing him.

JENNIE HAS
HARD LUCK
Jennie Roney Has Another Narrow
Escape.

Jennie Roney in company with
Grace Pounds, of Ontario, was on hel
way from Ontario to Weiser on Mon
day morning and endeavoring to reach
Weiser in time to catch the Pony train
back to Ontario, WIS making good
time, just little too good for turning
corners, and when at the Parks corner
just south of Payette the car turned
over bottom side up beside the road.
Fortunately both young ladies es-
capped with but minor bruises. The
car, however, was not so fortunate and
was badly smashed. Mr.. Parks took
Miss Pounds back to Ontario. Miss
Roney came on to Payette and sent a
truck from the Garage to toe the
car in, which was found completely
bottom side up. This is the second
narrow escape for Miss Roney as it
will be remembered that a few weeks
ago she went over the Snake river
embankment near Olds Ferry with a
Super six, and was seriously injured.

VOLUNTEERS UNDER
IS NOT WANTED
Volunteers for Army Under Is Years
Not Wanted.

NOT wanted.
The minimum age limit for volun-
tary enlistment in the United States
Army is fixed by congress at IS
years. There have been so many ap-
plications for releases from the army
of boys under this age who have en-
listed that Adjt. Gen. Henry P. Nc
Cain has issued the following circular
letter:
"The large number Of applications
received from parents and guardians
for the discharge of minors under Is
years of age, inclosing satisfactory
evidence that the soldier is under
this age, indicates the necessity for
more care on the part of recruiting
officers in order to avoid unnecessary
expense to the government and an
noyance to troops in the field in the
subsequent discharge of such men and
to avoid placing a blot for life on the
record of boy whose offense of mis-
statement of his age arises usually
from a patriotic desire to serve his
country.
Hereafter no applicant under the
age will be accepted or
enlisted until he has proven to the
complete satisfaction of the recruiting
officer that he has reached the age of
IS years. The proof required will be
(a) birth certificate, baptismal record,
or school certificate, or, in case (a)
is not available, (b) affidavit of par
ent or guardian with legal evidence
of guardianship"

TOOK THEM At
THEIR WORD

Three wealthy farmers of Stanford
Iowa, told their neighbors, who
were soliciting for the Red Cross that
they had made their own money and
could do as they please with it." They
gave the solicitors to understand
they were entirely independent of the
rest of the people. The farmers in
that township held meeting, some of
the hot-headed ones proposing the use
of tar and feathers. But one phil
osopher suggested something worse.
We'll take them at their word and
have nothing to do with them," and
every person present signed an agree
ment to cut off all relations with the
three. Then they took the paper to
town and had the business men to
sign it. The next day one of the three
went to town in his auto to buy some
supplies. q can't sell you any," said
the merchant. He went to the bank
and the banker said Here's your
money, l don't want any of your busi-
ness" He went to the garage to get
some gasoline. 81 can't let you have
any, said the proprietor. He then
went to the telephone exchange to
telephone home for gasoline. "You
have no telephone" said the manager,
"You are cut off"

FARM BUREAU
NOTES
Wastes in Threshing.

! Farmers and threshermen should
anticipate all likelihood OF grain waste
during threshing. Every bushel ot
grain saved means many loaves OF
bread for the boys "over there" Waste
nlay occur as follows:
1.-When the grain is tough. This
comes back to the farmer, as it may
have been cut too green, stacked on
wet ground, or not well covered to
exclude sudden rain storms.
2.-Carelessness in cleaning the
field of all grain. "The boys" are
worth more than the farm stock and
fields should be CLEANED and all grain
saved.
3.-Shattering in bundle wagons.
Tight beds and less tramping back and
forth will avoid much shattering.
4.-Irregular speeding of cylinders,
often too slow because too little en-
gine power.
5.-Improper adjustment and dull
ness of teeth.
end play in cylinders. I'm
proper adjustment of blower.
7.-Crowding the feeding before
cylinder attains proper speed.
8.-Careless cleaning up. Use car
vas where grain is likely to waste and
see that it is cleaned before belt is
thrown off.

Committee.
Payette Threshing Prices.
The threshermen of the county hav-
ing published scale of prices con-
sidered exhorbitant by local farmers, |
the County Agricultural Agent called
a meeting last Saturday at the court |
house of all parties concerned for the |
purpose of getting price differences
settled amicably.
Some 60 farmers were present from
various parts of the county and all |
threshermen. Mr.. Carl Geisler was
chosen chairman of the meeting and
the County Agent stated the purpose
Of the gathering. He said farmers
had protested against prices the
threshermen advertised saying that
hey (the farmers) considered the
rates excessive. He stated that the
-hreshermen were equally certain that
hey ought to have their prices. Hence
he best thing for him to do was to
get them together, get them acquaint-
ID and let them arrive at some com
non agreement.
In a previous get together meet
ng, the farmers appointed commit
zee to represent their claims before the
threshermen. This committee then
asked the threshermen for rates sim
lar TO certain other counties. The
stated that their union
lad set the prices which they felt they
'ught to have and if they did not get
hem they would not start work. The
hartman of the meeting interposed
hat these were war times and that
neither side should insist on their
'laims unless able to show figures
sor same and that both committees
lad better go aside and thresh out the
Further conferences are being held
his week in order to come TO an
Igreement satisfactory to all.
