Public Gatherings Prohibited

The Last Call

We will have to discontinue send
ing the paper after this issue, to
anyone who is not paid in advance.
The War Industries Board says:
"No publisher may continue sub.
scriptions after three months after
date of expiration, unless subscrip-
tions are renewed and paid for"
This action was taken for the
purpose of saving paper. A major
ity of those who are in arear have
paid their subscriptions but there
are still a number who have failed
to do so. We have no other re-
source than to stop sending the
paper unless your subscription is
paid in advance. 1t will be great
ly appreciated if the amount due
is forwarded at an early date so
that your subscription will not ex-
pire next week.

Don't Sacrifice Your Wheat

County Food Administrator Mar
tin has received the following tele-
gram which will be of interest to
farmers who are urged to heed the
warning contained therein. The
telegram follows:
BOISE, Ida Enlarged demands
by General Pershing for material
resulting from the progress on the
western front has necessitated the
temporary diversion of grain ships
to his service which for the time
being curtails the wheat movement
from seaboard but this should not
cause farmers to become panicky
and sell their wheat below the gov
ernment price. according to tele-
graphic advice received Tuesday by
Administrator Bicknell, from Her
bert Hoover. Mr.. Hoover states
and Administrator Bicknell joins in
that assurance to Idaho farmers,
that there is no occasion for selling
their wheat below the government
price, and if holders will have lit
tie patience, the wheat will all be
moved and they will obtain the full
price Therefore, please give pub
licity. BICKNELL.

American Ridge Red Cross

The members of the American
Ridge Auxiliary got together to
discuss the best means of securing
money to carry on the Red Cross
work in that community. 1t was
thought best at this time, on ac-

money by donations as this would
take less time. The method proved
very satisfactory and the sum of
$14S was soon raised. Following

amount each contributed:

Figures Do Not Lie

Bill Stevens was figuring on the
contract of excavating for the base.
ment of the Methodist church, the
first of the week. We say figuring,
advisedly. He hasn't very much
confidence in his own mathematics
so he gave the dimensions Of the
basement to Rev. Gregory, who re-
duced them to cubic yards but
didn't get the same number that
Bill did. Bill then invaded the
sanctum sanctorum of ye editor in
chief, where he got an even more
generous number of cubic yards
in fact almost as much as the COM
bined totals of Rev. Gregory and
his own. He had three answers
they couldn't all be right, so he
went home and consulted his "Busi-
ness Guide and Compendium of I'm
iversal Knowledge and found that
they were all wrong. There is no
use to argue with anything that is
down in cold print so we will have
to admit that maybe the book is
right. However, if Bill had secur-
ed the contract at so much per cubic
yard, based upon the figures fur,
nished by ye editor, he wuoldn't
have lost any money on the job ever
at half price.

Banks Will Close Tomorrow

Both local banks have agreed to
close for the day Saturday, it being
a national holiday. Columbus Day
has rot heretofore been observed as
a holiday in Kendrick, but owing
to the fact that it has been set a
side as sort of rally day for the
Fourth Liberty Loan, it was thought
best by the banks to observe the day
by closing.

From Arnold Petrick
Camp Souge, Sept. 9, 1918.
Dear folks:

Dear folks:
| have moved from Lioguan. l
left there two days ago andc cele-
brated my wedding anniversary
contemporaneously with my first
day in this camp. A couple of days
before we left Lioguan fire broke
out in some woods about 6 or 8
miles from town and the whole
regiment went out there to fight.
We six vets had to go too but we
managed to get soft job out there
guarding a road that the fire would
MT jump across an get another start.
We left town at about p. m. and
they brought our supper out to US
about 9. After supper l went out
onto some burnt over ground and
lay down for good sleep. l slept
until three and then the troops
went home so two of US started out
ahead of a column of soldiers and
after walking about two miles or so
a truck picked US up and hauled us
to town. The next day the fire got
loose again and the regiment went
out once more but we stayed at
home. Saturday we moved. The en-
tire regiment rode on trucks and
wagons. That sure beat walking a
whole lot.
This camp is the bunk. The sand
is six inches deep all over and if the
flies were all killed and thrown on
the ground the sand couldn't be
seen until at least two mnoths of
heavy traffic had passed over them.
The barracks are one story wood or
tile structures. They have cloth
windows torn to ribbons to let the
flies come in.
We have fairly good beds and all
we want to eat, in fact | have never
suffered for grub since l left the
ship we came over on. All that
stuff about soldiers over here not
getting enouh to eat is bunk. We
get plenty of good grub and wher
we all get throuh eating there is
usually some left over.
The water here isn't very good, in
fact l haven't found any good water
in France so far. At Lioguan il
was so hard that the soap wouldn't
lather in it. Its softer here but
doesn't taste very good.
I'll be darned glad when l ge
back to the good old U. S. A. Never
again will say that there is bet
ter country. France and England
are supposed to be advanced ant
civilized but they are at least 81
years behind the U. S. Their plow
here are pulled by one horse ant
have but one handle on them. Yo,
very seldom see wagon. Th
peasants all use carts some of whicl
have wheels 7 and 8 feet tall ant
the hubs larger than wine keg.
We haven't gotten our horses We
and | don't know when we will
either. | do know we have t
disinfect our stables first. This

day long you can hear the gun
roaring and! the projectiles whiz
thru the air.

baby by now and I'll bet you spoile
it too. I'd like to see it myself.
