THANK goodness however the siege
1 seems to be abating little and the
doctors are getting more and more careful
and not allowing the patients to get up too
soon It. appears the disease eases up in
three or four days and then when the
patients start to get up and go around
relapse is apt to come and it is very won
derful when pneumonia does not set in.
A great many think that when the frost
comes it will be entirely stamped out. Let
that be soon, even if our coal has not yet
been delivered for the winter.

Beginning tomorrow morning, a shock committee" consisting of seven prominent citizens, will be in session at Liberty loan headquarters for the rest of the campaign for the purpose of Investigating cases of persons who have not subscribed in proportion to the amounts that should be rightfully expected from them. The members of this committee, it was announced last night, are Guy c. Nevitt, chairman; R.. E. Moore, R. D. Roper, w. c. Foster, Fred Woolsey, Dr. s D. Futile and Judge Joseph H. Kibbey.
 Formation of the new committee grew out of a decided feeling on the part of some subscribers to the fourth loan that there are not an inconsid- erable number of the citizens of this community who have not done their full share toward the success of the loan. In some cases this was not merely a suspicion, but has been thor oughly established. It is stated on eX- cellent authority that the number of people who are easily able to buy bonds in large amounts, are trying to get by with purchases of $50 or $100 worth of bonds.
 Stand and Deliver
 It was because of this situation that those in charge of the work of con- ducting the loan campaign in this com munity appointed this committee to review the cases which may be brought before it, and of calling to the atten- ton of those who have undersub- scribed the necessity of increasing their subscriptions, and thereby more nearly carrying out their obligations to the government and to the boys lover there."
 The shock committee will be as-

TELL TALE PRINTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.-1denti- fication of footprints led to. the con- Yiction in Sacramento last week of Warren J. Davis, rancher, of Elk Creek, Glenn county, and his herder, Henry Hulett, on charges of starting fires on the California national forest, the United States forest service offices here have just been advised.
 The two men started six fires Octo- Der B, 1917, in an effort to clear trail. Footprints at the scene of the fire were identified as those of Davis and Hulett and of their horses. Sixtytwo hundred acres were burned over and S4,S00 worth of timber was destroyed, the forest service reported. The first trial of the men resulted in a disagreement, but on retrial they were convicted Oc- tober ?.
 The forest service also reported that Ed Burke had been sentenced to an 1S-months term at McNeilfs Island penitentiary for starting fire near Upper Lake in 1917. The evidence against him was collected by C. " Brereton, inspector for the forest serv- ice.
