B. Rookie, S. L. Triplett and l. M.
Julian-who accepted an invita-
tion to pull the ropes that placed
both flags in place-the large
American flag as well as the Ser
vice flag, the latter containing 48
stars-representing the boys from
here who are already in the mill
tary service of the country. The
honor of hosting the flags was al
SO shared with two of our younger
ex-soldiers-H Hayward Shields and
Jack Back, who served in the reg
ular army, the former some years
ago and the latter on the Mexican
border year or so ago, and both
having been honorably discharg-
ed.
In our list published last week
of the At boys from Cottonwood
ana vicinity who are already IN
the service, the name of Lance
McCready was overlooked. Lance,
who is barber by trade, enlisted
here but later went to Asotin to
visit relatives and joined our boys
at Lewiston on the way to Boise.
Altogether the Flag Day cele-
bration at Cottonwood was a
grand and glorious success-a day
never to be forgotten by the hun
dreds of people who were present.
Long may these flags wave "o'er
the land of the free and the home
of the brave"

JUDGE BUDCE'S
WAR LECTURE
Great Crowd Hears Him
Thursday Night.

Odd Fellows hall was crowded
to standing room last night and
hundreds of our citizens heard
with intense interest the great
war lecture by State Supreme
Judge Bulge of Boise.
Geo. M. Robertson, in his usu-
ally easy and pleasing manner,
made the Introductory speech.
To add to the profound interest
of the event and to show how the
dreadful war is being brought to
our very homes, Mr.. Robertson
announced that the news had
just been received that one of the
Cottonwood boys-Roy Meade
was wounded in France several
days ago by a German bullet.
The extent of his injury has not
yet been learned.
Judge Bulge made a powerful
plea to our people to buy Liberty
bonds and to stand shoulder to
shoulder behind the government
in all of its war activities, and
our boys at the front. He does
not claim to be a polished orator,
but for forceful, clean-cut argu-
ments that reach every pore in
the body, few men in the country
have anything on" the Judge as
a lecturer.
The Judge has the happy facul-
ty of knowing just when and
where to season his speech with
the necessary amount of humor,
in order to lift the audience out
of the depths of sadness that some
parts of his speech places his hear
ers.
He called attention to the great
change this war is sure to make
among the American people gen.
orally, in compelling them to
go back to plain living again-to
what conditions were when the
elderly people of today were
young. He referred to Americans
as having developed into the most
reckless and extravagant people
on the face of the earth-verging
on criminal extravaganza in the
matter of dress, style and high
living. AS a humorous illustra-
ton he said that many people
had become so wasteful that they
threw away all but the very choic-
est parts of a hog-but now were
obliged to pay $1.50 for the kinks
in a pigs tail.
The band and glee club furnish
ed music for the occasion.
