KILL A COUPLE

Would you kill a fighting German
if you were on the firing line,
Would you carry ammunition to
our soldiers, /
War Savings Stamps are IS inn
portant in winning the war for hui
man freedom as the ammunition with
which American soldiers are sup
piled when they go over the top
against the German trench war
Savings Stamps are the ammunition
you and 1 may use against the Hun.
II is the money We save and loan
our Government when we buy War
Savings Stamps that buys the am
munition the lads in the trenches
must have to protect your Liberty
and mine. 1t is up to US to buy
every dollars worth of War Savings
Stamrs we can. The President has
asked us to do this. The President is
Commander in Chief of the Ameri-
can Armies. 1t is as much our duty
to buy War Savings Stamps when
the President asks us to buy them
as it would be our duty to should
er a rifle, go into the trenches, step
int the front line of battle and
shoot a German soldier if he should
ask us to do that. Don't wait until
tomorrow. Buy War Savings Stamps
today.
The War Savings Stamp you don't
buy may cost an American soldier
his life.
Every War Savings Stamp you do
buy is just the same rs if you kill
ed a fiendish, fighting Hun.
Kill a couple and kill them dam
ned quick.

RAsTus' CAPACITY.

Judge DIETRICH remarked that it Is
an old story when he told it at the
banquet in Boise last week. His rea-
son for telling it was that it has
lately been invested with new
meaning that warrants the re-tell-
ing The story is that Rastus was
challenged to eat a big watermelon
at a sitting. Having some reputation
at stake he did not like to venture
on a rash undertaking, and so ask
ed to be excused few minutes. Re-
turning shortly with face all abeam,
he announced "Yessir, Yessir boss
All can eat him." and proceeded to
turn the trick The ,bystanders were
mystified about the period Of abb
sence and asked him about it, to
which he replied: well, you all
ses that was a mighty big water
melon and All was not jes exactly
sure All could do it; so Ali went
out and got one just like it and ct
that. den All know my capacity"
The Judges application was that
America is learning that she can
do things that were impossible be-
fore she saw the reason for doing
them We can make the application
particular to cur County Payette

do big things of which she had no
con ception until we We're called on

that the sl7O, 600, 900 for the Y. NJ. C..

that offices essential to the war pro-

real ''life termers," as they try to call
them, are on the democratic ticket, is
ignored by them and they hope the
new voters will not find out about it.

constantly at it ever since. He has
been elected four times for a period
of fourteen years in public office and

quite so successful. Still he has held

Quiet Campaign.

Owing to the stringent demands of
the health authorities all public meet
ings will be impossible, and except for
the circulating around of the candi-
dates themselves, there will be no
political campaign here. This makes
it more important than ever that the
voters should take pains to inform
themselves upon the real situation and
not be misled by any last minute gos-
sip carried about by those candidates
whose only stock in trade is personal
abuse of their opponents. The sland-
erous tongues of the scandal mongers
can ordinarily do little damage, but
in year like this when there is so
little opportunity to combat them, they
will get more industrious than an
American soldier who has American
graybacks in one of his undershirts
and French coolies in the other.

Camouflage.

A brilliant piece of political trick
cry is now being pulled by Senator
Shafroth and Congressman Heating
just on the eve of election. A number
of towns in Colorado started soon
after the war began to secure army
camps or aviation fields, but none of
them could succeed in interesting
either Shafroth or Heating. They were
too busy getting jobs for George Creel
and other yellow writers, who were
willing to boost them in return, to in
terest themselves in such small mat
tiers as army camps, etc. Now just
on the eve of election rumors are be-
ing sent out that Trinidad, Pueblo,
Salida, Lamar, Alamosa, and Walsen-
burg in this part of the state, and
numerous points in other sections are
to get camps or aviation fields right
away after election. The only mis-
take was in letting it get public so
soon that the towns could compare
notes before election day. 1t is n
cinch that all the camps of the country
are not going to be moved here, but
it would take all of them to supply
the towns now being flim-flammed by
Shafroth and Heating.

CATHOLICS LEAD
In A RELIGIOUS
CENSUS OF CAMP

NEW YORK, March 2.-Returns OF
a religious census of Camp Logan, in
Houston, Tex, just received in New
York, show seventy four denominations
represented in the total of 32,079 Off
GERS mad men in the camp. A notice
able feature of the report is that some
CT those questioned declared them
selves socialists and this was set
down in the census as a religion.
Catholics easily led in the total,
with 1926 men. There were 5,624
Methodlsts, 3,487 Baptists, 2,752 Luth-
Grams, 1870 Christians and 1,197 Epis-
copalians. Among other denonlina-
tons listed were Mohammedans, Holy
Rollers, Theosophists, Moravians,
Golden Rulers, Buddhists, Sweden
borgians and Pentecostals. The cen
sus takers in their rounds heard many
Interesting things. In one company
were three brothers named Schmidt,
and everything about them proved
their blood to be German, save the
ore element of American patriotism.
All were of draft age, but all volun-
teered. Their father, farmer in
Nebraska, called them before him and
told them to go and fight. They were
entitled to claim exemption as nee
essary agricultural workers, but their
father told them: " can hire men
who can't fight to help me run the
farm. You boys can fight, so go to
it." And they went.

T. s. Gardner Dead.

| Thomas S. Gardner was born at
Bloomingdale, Tenn, about 38 years
ago, and departed this life at $3.50 p.
M, on Jan. 3d. 1918. Funeral SER
vices were conducted at his home by
Rev. A. C. Ketron, and Rev. S. G..
Ketron, and the body laid to rest in
the family burial ground on the Idle
wild" farm, to await the resurrection
Of the just
AT his own request two special songs
were used at the home, and two other
special songs at the grave. These
were sung by Prof. H. f. Ketron w.
l.. Fouch and a number of other
friends.
About ten years ago Brother Tom
was married to Miss Irene Harris OF
Dawson Georgia, and for quite while
they made their home at Americus,
Ga, where he formed large circle Of
friends For many years he was a
! through the Southern states.
At length, finding himself in bad
health, he retired to his farm at his
old home in Sullivan county, Tenn,
and for the last two years he declined
very rapidly, until he fell peacefully
to sleep in the arms Of Jesus.
Being perfectly conscious until the
end came, he talked freely of his con-
dition and expressed desire to go
and to be with his Saviour, bidding
his friends goodbye, and asking them
to meet him in Heaven.
At an early age he became Christ
ian, under the ministry Of the Rev. S.
G. Ketron, and united with the Meth
odist Episcopal church, to which he
remained true until he went to join
the Church Triumphant, (which is
without fault before the throne Of
Cod"
1t was the writer's privilege to know
him in boyhood, and to be associated
with his as a schoolmate, and to re-
member him kindly for his many en-
viable qualities, and to esteem him as
a special friend.
His departure is mourned by many
more people than we are able to num-
