We can better appreciate why
we should now buy only the things
we need when we stop to think that
in the past the supply of labor and
materials has been chiefly consumed
by ordinary civilian needs while now
large proportion of 1t must be de-
voted to the needs of the Army and
Navy. 1t is self-evident that the La
Dor and materials, the supply Of
which is limited, now used by the
Government can nat be used also
for unnecessary civilian wants.
We have heard enough of the Hun
prison camps to know that we do
not want any of our boys put in
them If we can help it. When you
save to the utmost of your ability
and inevst your savings in War
Savings Stamps you help keep our
out of the prison camps.
Do not forget that the supply OF
labor and materials is limited. II
you ask worker to make something
you, he can not make something for
the Government at the same time.
and he can not use the. same mater
ial both for your needs and for the
Governments needs.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
HONEST IN PRACTICE.

The republican county adminis-
tration Is making good its pledge
to the people to run the business
economically. While the law re-
quires that the office of sheriff be
kept open all the time. a way was
finally found whereby this is done
and yet reduce cost of administra-
tion. w. H. Gillespie is not only
deputy sheriff, and does the clerical
work for that department, but Ia
also deputy auditor and q general
utility man at the court house, anl
Is always on the job and earns his
salary. In other words the county,
by little common sense and some
good business judgment. organized
various work, in harmony with our
sheriff and auditor, and have made
a material saving without reducing
efficiency. They might have, under
the guise of necessity, and under
plea that they are poor men ana
must work for a living, have hired
the editor Of the Republican at SIS
per month to sit in the shade and
keep the sheriff's ONCE open, or
have stung the people for SIS per
month to pension the republican
county chairman and given tho
graft camouflage Of decency under
the plea that the law compelled tha
county to keep the sherin's ONCE
open all the time. and they had to
do It, But the republican county
board didn't do that. They have
served the people in the same way
they would handle their own per-
sonal business, and in manner
tnat ought to commend itself to the
people of Clearwater county.

TWO MILLION REASONS
FOR FIGHTING GERMANY,

Brand Whitlock, our minister to
Belgium when the German hordes
first entered that martyred country
and for three long years thereafter,
is now telling us of some of the
things that happened during that
orgie of German lust. He writes in
"Everybody's" as follows:
1T was on that Sunday morning
of the 23rd; the Germans that
swarmed down the Friedreau road,
entered the quarter of penant. ar
rested the inhabitants and took them
to the Rocher Bayard. The people
were held there, evidently as a
screen, while the Germans began to
construct a temporary bridge over
the river. The French were on the
other side and now and then they
shot at the soldiers working there.
The Germans annoyed by the spit
ting, irregular fire, sent a citizen
of Dinant, one of the prisoners, in
a boat across the river to inform
the French that unless they ceased
firing the civilians would be shot.
M made his dangerous voyage,
and returned to take his place
among his fellows. But few stray
bullets still sped across the river.
Then was committed the afro
cious crime. The prisoner were
massed together, nearly 80 of them
old men and young. women, girls
and boys. little children. and babies
in their mothers arms. A platoon
was called up; the colonel in com.
mand gave the word to fire, and
the gray soldiers. in cold blood, shot
down those 80 persons as they
stood huddled there together. Among
them were IL children under the
age of 6 years, 6 of whom were
little babies. whose mothers, as the.
stood up to face their pitiless mur
derers. held them in their arms.
1.-The six babies were the chilt
Flevet, 3 weeks old; Nellie Pollet
IL months old; Maurice Betemps
IL months old; Gilda Genen. /;
months old; Gilda Marchot, 2 year
ond, and Clara Struvay, 2 year
old.
Evening came; the soldiers wer
fumbling among the mass of dead
Some were still living; some, by
miracle were uninjured And thes
were dragged from the pile of bod
les and made to dig a pit and tum

CAN'T. DIVIDE HIGHWAY DIS
TR|cTs, DECLARES COURT

The following wire from Boise
reached Orofno this morning. and
cast CONSERVATION among the ranks
of the Orofino Tribune crowd
Boise. Idaho. June 25.-Supreme
court Of Idaho has declared the
Jones bill. No. IA, unconstitutional.
Jones Bill No. IA was introduced.
passed and signed by the governor
during the last session of the legis-
lature and at a time when the peo-
pie of Clearwater county were try
ing to prevent the partition of the
county. To hold the county intact
and prevent exactly the thing that
later happened under the Jones bill.
. movement was started and car
ried out creating what was known
rs the Clearwater Highway. Messrs.
Matt Erb of Greer. Roy LeBaron of
Cavendish. both high class demo-
Gratis, and Samson Snyder, republi-
can. of Orofno, were named, at the
suggestion of the citizens of the dis
trict, as the highway board. Later
Mr.. LeBaron resigned, and Andrew
Bloom of Elk River was named to
nll the vacancy.
When the Jones Bill became a
law and its purposes realized
movement started over night to get
under cover, and save as much Of
the county for good highway dis
trict as the law permitted. Elk Riv-
er got the same hunch at the same
moment and it was matter of
few seconds only by which Orofino
sion Of the big district, and the Oro-
fino district was created by dividing
, :he Clearwater highway. Later the
North Fork highway was sliced
from the Orofino district. and the
situation became the most involved
imaginable. The case was carried
to the District court for an inter-
probation of the law, and no relief
found. In the meantime other sec
tions of the state were facing the
same predicament, and went to the
court, one of the district judges of
our state declaring the law was un-
constitutional. The case went up
to the Idaho supreme court for fin-
al adjudication. and the Jones bill
laid to rest with other souvenirs of
Governor Alexander's freak admin
istration.
This automatically clips tn e
wings of our local highway board,
and does away with all divisions Of
the Clearwater highway district, so
that Samson Snyder, Matt Erb and
Andrew Bloom are the only legal
highway commissioners in all our
new districts, and the Clearwater
highway remains as originally
created Mr.. Grow loses his job as
public pap sucker at SIS per month
and the Orofino Tribune office auto
matically ceases to be under lease
to the dear people for a meeting
place for the Orofino highway board
and their political advisers.
So far as the people are con-
cerned the gang will no longer
camoufiage behind road funds and
gouge the taxpayers to pension I.

COL. HARVEY EXPOSES
WILSON'S HYPOCRACY,

Washington, June 21.-Over that
famous Erase politics is adjourned"
a violent political row has broken
out and the fall congressional cam
paign has actually started weeks
ahead of schedule.
Colonel George Harvey, the pres.
dents erstwhile friend, has started
ii. An immediate result promis s
to be a sensational suit for libel
to be instituted by Henry Ford
against the colonel and the curious
thing about it all is that Colonel
Harvey has been among the most
earnest advocates of adjourning pol
itics. In the Harvey War Weekly,
appearing today, are printed ad-
vance sheets from an article EMIT
led rs Politics Adjourned?" to be
published in the North American
Review for July.
In it Colonel Harvey sets forth a
letter sent by him jointly to Will
H. Hays, chairman of the national
republican committee, and Vance
c. Mccormick, chairman of the
national democratic committee, on
May 13, asking them in the inter-
ests of avoiding partizanship in the
congressional elections, to meet to-
gether and agree upon wholly pat
riotic grounds, to eliminate from
political strife certain number of
districts in which the results can
| not with candor be regarded as in
the slightest degree doubtful
Cites Vermont and Arkansas.
The colonel proceeded to cite Yer
mont and Arkansas as states where
in there is not the slightest doubt
as to which party will triumph in
November.
Then the article recites the re
SPONGE of Chairman Hays, giveI
instantly. as follows:
MY Dear Colonel Harvey:
have your note and like the idea
Anything I can do to keep polite
out of this war l stand ready to do
While of course, as you point out
we can not go past certain point
believe that something to this en-,
might be achieved by discussion
of your suggestion. and with tina
purpose in mind l will gladly kee
any appointment that may be con
venient to you and Mr.. Nc. Cor

A postscript added says: "Anoth
er thing occurs to me, and doubt
les has to you. that our meeting il
this way might make more surel
effective our determination to whacI
any disloyal head that may shoS
up. w. H. H."
Four days later Chairman Nc
