Renville Township.

In common with the rest Of the
county, we have had several severe
wind and dust storms. Sundays gale
was especially severe. We fear to
hear Of seed blown out in some locali-
ties more sandy than ours.
Several have been more or less af-
ficted with a grippe like malady. Miss
Marie WIKI was a victim last Friday
and Mrs. WIKI taught both schools.
Claude Vannice and family came to
his fathers last Thursday for a Wis
it before departing for a new home

oldest settlers in Renville township.
"The king is dead, long live the
king" as loyal subjects used to shout.

come and best wishes to his successor
who took charge of the .postoffice on
April 18th, Mrs. Ebert Quick. MI.

dents Of u community and highly
esteemer. As Flora Preston, she came

new duties.

Liberty Loan and Savings Stamps.
The best turned over to a judg-

Note-As to the first matter of
which our correspondent complains we
can only say that the same was taken
from the official records, furnished by
the Federal authorities, and was there
fore deemed to be beyond question.
When the Courant learned that an err
ror had been committed it did all that
was possible to do to rectify the same.
AS to the criticism concerning the ed
itorial referred to, our correspondent
should have understood that it was
written largely in a facetious vein,
but if he disagrees as to the proposed
method of treating traitors and those
guilty of seditious practices, it is
clearly his privilege to do so, but in
the meantime, so far as this writer is
concerned, he has nothing to recant
and no apologies to make for the po-
sition which he has taken. and still
maintains, in the premises.-Editor

COMPANY HELPS
UNCLE SAM
WILL CARRY INTEREST AND
TAXES ON LAND HELD by
MEN WHO ENTER SERVICE
TO EXTEND PAYMENTS
LIBERAL OFFER MADE TO MEN
ENLISTING AFTER BUYING
COMPANY LANDS

POTLATCH.-The Potlatch Lumber
company has taken another patriotic
stand whereby these who have bought
cut-over land tracts from the company
on which there are interest payments
to be met on payments still outstand-
ing and taxes to be paid, thereby per-
haps keeping men from enlisting who
otherwise would eagerly fall in line
and get into the fight could they see
their way clear to doing so without be-
coming so heavily indebted as to be
unable to meet their payments when
due.
The proposition made to both draft
ed men and those wishing to enlist
who have bought land and have not
completed paying for it is, that upon
being accepted into service in any
branch of the United States army or
navy, prompt notice be given to the
company stating what branch they are
in; that they make arrangements to
have this company notified in case of
death and that notice be given imme-
diately upon discharge from the army
or navy. The company will in that
event carry the interest and taxes
while they have gone to war and when
they return will start in on their land
contract right where it was left off
and the time in which to pay out will
be extended the full length of their
military service. Whatever the inter-
est and taxes amount to while these
men are gone, will be put against
their time as part Of the lumber com
pany's contribution to the war.
This offer will no doubt be cheer
fully received by those who have held
off for this reason and such actions on
the part of large industries prove the
cooperation of such industries with
our country and the high ideals of
democracy.

BASKET BALL TEAM
GOES TO MONTANA
CHAMPIONS OF NORTHWEST
CONFERENCE TO PLAY TWO
GAMES AT MISSOULA

Vociferated away by a substantial
basket ball team, now title holder in
the northwest conference east side,
left this morning on a Northern Pa
cific train for Missoula and the two
games with Jerry Nissen's scrappy
Bruins to be staged in the University
of Montana gymnasium Friday and
Saturday.
The varsity's prospects for adding
both contests to it's success list are by
no means startlingly bright. The loss
of Elra Hunter, sensational forward,
may make itself felt rather poignant
ly and the foreign floor influence is
sure to have it's effect.
Prescott, the Montana forward who
almost single handed trimmed w. S.
c. in the second Bruin-Pullman con-
test, is again in condition, and he is
understood to be travelling at top
speed The task of covering him will
probably be assigned to Gene Hyde,
Idaho team captain.
The varsity regulars and subs who
are making the Montana trip with
Coach "Hec" Edmundson are Gene
Hyde, Ernest Lindley, Leslie Moe,
Paul Evans, Drom Campbell, Ronald
Romig and Boyd Brigham. The first
five named will undoubtedly be sent
onto the floor to open both contests.

MILLIONS OF
THRIFT STAMPS
WAR SAVINGS AND THRIFT STAMP
SALES REACH AN ENOR-

LATAH COUNTY DOING ITS SHARE
BUT SALES MUST BE IN
CREASED HERE

Judge Forney, director of war saw
ings stamps for Latah county, yester-
day received the following from Wash
ington, D. c.:
WAR savings stamp sales today
passed fifty million dollar mark and
sales have been running at the rate
of more than two million a day. The
steadily growing volume of savings
placed at the service of the nation by
millions of citizens is splendid evi-
dence of your effective work. Busi-
ness as usual is a wholly wrong the
ory inwar times. 1t is only by teach
ing the people to save and not to COM
pete for labor and materials with the
government that we can put The whole
strength of the nation into this war.
This is not only our most important
contribution to the war but it is the
sure way to raise the required money.
In the next few weeks we and our
entire organization of nearly two hun
dred thousand workers must make it
our common purpose and resolve to
spread this gospel SO that there will
be a militant army of war savers to
put war savings certificates and the
next Liberty loan over the top.
(Signed) Frank A. Vanderlip."
He further says, while we have
been unable to date to check accurate
iy the total amount of sales jim Latah
county we have every reason to be-
lieve that we are even with the aver
age for the country which this tele-
gram indicates. incidentally, the en-
tire country as we'll as our state will
accomplish much more in the sue
ceeding months than they have in the
past two, if we are to obtain our goal.
This should not be discouraging, how
ever, as the most difficult part of the
work is getting an adequate start.
