NO SURPRISE IN IT
(The Akron Press)

 But there is nothing remarkable about it, if you concede unionists to be the posscssors of ordinary common sense.
 Unless German autocracy is put down, to stay down, there will be no unionism worth while in ths country, or any other labor rights to speak of.
 No intelligent workman is fool enough to believe that, master of the world, German autocracy would permit mil ions of worlmen to organize for any purpose likely to get thern anywhere

 \ triumphant German autocracy will collect q huge indemnity from the Chi ted States. and L. $. labor will pay that indemnity in the sweat of it's brow. We'll may America union labor indorse this war, not only moved by the high sentiments of patriotism and humancncss but also by the conviction that it is the proposed victim of a brutal foreign autocracy.
 Glorious is the vision of worldwide democracy. But this war is also for the homes, the wages the rights. the liberties of the American workmen.
 United for the great cause, American union labor will stand divided, it will crawl as the kept slave of Prussian mlitarism.
 Union labor is loyal, of course.

LEON PERKINS IN CANADA
SERIOUSLY ILL, SAYS WIRE.

A telegram from the Canadian
authorities to Clint Perkins, at Fra
ser. dated September 13, says that
Leon is in hospital at Ottawa, On
tario, Canada, and is seriously i'll.
From the above 1t is evident that
Leon Is dangerously sick, and his
case critical. He was one Of the
frst to go over with the Canadian
forces, and fought all through the
early battles of this terrible war,
when the Huns were striking such
dastardly blows with gas, liquid fire
and other barborous methods. The
allies then were not prepared for
such things, and the men were SUBJ
jected to terrible torture before the
English and French could equip the
forces to meet 1t. Leon has seen
lot Of front line trench fighting.
himself being proficient machine
gunner. 1t was the ardent prayer
OF the people Of Clearwater county
that this brave young man. our own
native son, be spared to us that hts
homecoming might be the occasion
for splendid reception so that he
might know how much the folks at
home love him, And it is to be
hoped he may live and regain his
health and see the fruits of his sac
rifices translated into re-establish-
ed Belgium and a new France, with
Serbia free, and the Hohenzollerns
utterly destroyed.

am very sorry for the occasion
which requires me to write this let
ter. ! suppose by this time you have
been notified of the death of your
son Harold. and l want to write
you line to tell you how nobly he
died.
1t was on the afternoon of the
18th of July we were advancing
against heavy machine gun fire
through hail Of she'll and sharp
mel; we We're checked by the ma
chine gun fire and the Huns made a
counter attack. Some troops from
the regiment on our left began to
fall back and that fatal movement
was spreading to our company.
Lieutenant Kinne jumped up to my
assistance and succeeded in starting
the line forward again. 1t was just
at this point that he was struck by

OROFIN0 SCHOOL NOTES.

The second week of school is pro-
crossing nicely. More scholars have
entered and there is promise or
more.
The seventh and eighth grade
room was SO crowded it was thot
necessary to get another teacher.
Mrs. Fohl is substituting until
another teacher can be found.
The Domestic Science class has
been divided into cooking and a
sewing class. The eighth grade
sewing class has taken an agree
ment to make fifty bags for the Red
Cross.
The excitement of the week has
been class color fights. Beware!
you Freshies. with your green and
yellow.
The vacation Thursday afternoon
was welcomed as are all vacations.
Two of the high school boys reg
istered September IL. They are Paul
Lindgren and Leonard King.
The absence of boys is not him
dering the senior class for they have
already organized and are planning
for good time this year.

walton of food was very much en-.
joyed by the school children.

training camp. The last bunch that
graduated here only 1910 made
commissions and they were all reg
ulars with considerable training and
most of them were sergeants before
they went, SO you see 1t would be
almost impossible for me. The new
training camps are very much diff
ferent from the first three. Nearly
anyone could make a commission In
those first ones, but not SO now.
Then another reason ! don't care

CHILD WELFARE WORK.

The government is now paying a
lot attention to the children of the
nation. There is nationwide sur
yey of the needs of children, In
Clearwater county Mrs. VIM Noble
is in charge of the work, and has so
far completed the work in our en-
tire county except Orofino. Next
Friday, Sept. 20, from 8 am till
D. m., in the Primary school build
ing in Orofino, trained nurses and
experts will examine the children
for all kinds of physical defects, and
instruct the parents on how to cor
rect or remedy anything wrong. 1t
is of the highest Importance that
every child in Orofino and the trib-
utary country, from six years of
age down be brought in during the
day and tested. Each child will be
measured, weighed, and physically
examined. If there is anything the
mater with a child the parent will
be told and assisted in remedying II
and this examination is FREE. Sc
far only two or three undernourish-
ed babies have been found, and the
records shows that the Clearwater
county babies are among the best
and healthiest in Idaho. How such
record should fill us with pride

1t might interest our readers and
especially the farmers of Clearwater
county to know that in North Da-
kota where the Non-Partisan league
is in absolute control of state gov
ernment, that the mask has been
cast aside and the organization Is
out for the rankest and rawest sort
Of Socialism. The league has gone
SO far as to declare for government
ownership of all farm lands, the
price to be determined by that pre-
vailing at the beginning Of the war.
Townley himself is not only rank
Socialist, but an I.W.W., and Is for
Socialism under a new name. Peo-
pie who abhor Socialism are swal-
lowing it in its most radical form
without apparently realizing it.

Edwin Rettig Writes Home
Folks of Life at Camp Lewis

tance. That is Mt. Rainier, or l
guess they call it Mt. Tacoma now.
On some of these hot days drilling
out on the parade grounds l almost
wish l were on top of the noun tain.
Probably most of thefellows noticed
the immensity of the place first, but
guess l was feeling good and my
vision was high, but it did not take
me long to lower 1t and notice some
of the camp. Paved streets were
one thing that l could not help but
see and the company barracks, big
warehouses, Y. M. c. A. and X. OF
c. buildings scattered here and there
and many other buildings. Then the
cleanliness of the place is remark
able. You do not see papers, cigar
cites and cigar stubs, orange and
banana peelings or any kind of dirt
and trash laying around here. Ev-
erything is clean. No flies to speak
of are flying around, either.
Here are few rules we have to
abide by
/. At least two hot baths weekly.
2. Always keep clean shaven.
3. Keep your hair cut short.
4. Brush your clothes at least
once each day.
5. Wash your leggings at least
once a week, and dust them every
day.
6. Keep your shoes polished.
1t is almost impossible to be dir
ty. Believe me it is mighty good
training for everybody. There is
not much chance to evade these
rules because we have inspection
quite regularly.
The only thing don't like so far
is--a fellow has to do his own
washing. I never was stuck on that
job, but l guess 1t will be good for
me.
Two other things all soldiers
dread are the smallpox vaccination
and getting shot in the arm for ty-
phoid. You get three shots in the
arm for typhoid. One each week
for three weeks. The first shot did
not bother me much. My arm was
a little stiff, but they say the Sec
ond and third are worse. Some OF
the fellows were quite sick over the
first one. During these three weeks
a fellow is under quarantine, but
not strict one. We are not sup
posed to get off the depot bragade
