BEST OF CARE

Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Ostroot, whose
son, Conrad, bright young man we'll
known in Moscow, died some time ago,
are just in receipt of the following
letter giving detailed information
about his last illness. The letter fol-
lows:
London, Oct. 20, 1913
MRS. E. E .Ostroot, Moscow, Idaho.
Dear Madam: 1t is with great re-
gret that I have to confirm the news
of the death of your son, Conrad L.
Ostroot, at sea on Oct. 10th, 1918.
"He sailed early in October for Eu-
rope for important duty under my
direction.
Shortly after leaving port he de-
veloped Spanish influenza which later
turned into pneumonia. He received
the best of care from the ships
doctor and it looked for long time
as if his strong constitution would
pull him through, but it was not to
be- Other deaths occurred but I saw
to it that he had better treatment
than most.
"You may feel that your son died
in line of duty just as much as if
he had fallen in battle. He was an
excellent man who did his full duty
evidenced by his selection from a con-
siderable number for duty of special
Importance
"Very truly yours,
IN. H. HECK,
Lieutenant u. S. n R. F."

SOUTH IDAHO HAY
FOR LATAH COUNTY
LINCOLN COUNTY AGENT SELLS
MUCH HAY T ONORTH IDAHO
CONSUMERS

H. G. Avery, county agent for Lincoln
county, Idaho, who was appointed selling
agent for hay for four counties in that
part of the state with a surplus of 100000
tons, left here today for home, after
visiting the university, the farm bureau
and several farmers and stockmen He
sold a large amount of hay here and
arrangements are being made to secure
a reduction amounting to SO per cent in
the freight rate on hay from southern
to northern Idaho. The hay is being
sold through county agents and farm
bureaus direct from purchaser to con-
sumer without any middlemen's profits.
The prices are from $18 to $21 per ton,
f. O. b. at south Idaho points Only car
load orders are taken Mr. Avery made
arrangements with 0. S. Fletcher, county
agent for Latah county and the farm
bureau here to take orders for hay and
receive shipments, and north Idaho farm
ers who are short of hay have been
asked to communicate with Mr. Fletcher
or with Dean Iddings of the University
of Idaho Dean Iddings believes that
this arrangement will do much to save
the livestock industry of north Idaho,
which was threatened because of short
age of hay

END OF WAR WILL
MAKE NO CHANGE HERE
MEN IN S. A. T. C. WILL PROB
ABLY BE KEPT TILL END OF
SCHOOL YEAR

No immediate change IN the status OF
the 800 members of the S. A. T. c. will
result from the signing of an armistice
between the Allies and the Central pow
ers, according to DR.. E. H. Lindley
president of the University of Idaho, and
Capt. Luther B. Felker, commandant OF
the university troops. President Lind
ley said:
"Men quartered here will probably not
be discharged until the end of the year
The government is anxious to equip the
men for the arts of peace. The univer-
sity has contract with the government
to instruct its quota of men for one
year It is not likely that the contract
will be broken. There are rumors that
an S. A. T. C. will be formed in France
for the men fighting there"
Captain Felker said: "The men will
probably not be discharged until the
treaty of peace is signed and perhaps
not then. 1t will take many months to
settle the peace terms even after an ar
mistice has been declared"

WAR FUND APPEAL
TO LATAH PEOPLE
UNITED WAR CAMPAIGN COM
MITTEE ASKS COUNTY TO
RAISE $4,000 NEXT WEEK

The following letter has been sent
out to every resident in Latah county
1t was not intended that any name
| should be omitted from the list, so if
| your name is not there, you are asked
to report the fact.
Dear Sir: Your Uncle Samuel has
looked to and authorized the following
organizations to look after the morale
and physical comforts of our boys,
who have been called into service
The Y. M. C. A., Y. w. c. A., Knights
of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board,
War Camp Community Service, Am
erican Library Association and Sal
walton Army. All of these organiza-
tions have been doing noble work,
and by their efforts there has been
no army so well looked after as that
of the American forces. Every en-
deavor has been made to safeguard
our boys from the temptations that
tend to break down their moral fiber
and physical force, and to surround
them with some of the pleasures and
a few comforts, while engaged in the
Great Conflict
There is no provision under the
federal statute whereby federal funds
can be expended for this purpose
Therefore, President Wilson and the
War Department are asking that each
of US do our part towards financing
this very essential work. These sew
eral organizations are united at the
battle front in looking after our boys
irrespective of their class, color or
creed. We at home are now asked to
unite in the same spirit and to forget
all hl1f ornof nhIQpf in thIC
deavor-the morale of our soldier
boys. The money necessary to main
tain these organizations for the time
being has been fixed at $170,500,000
Latah county's portion of this amount
has been placed at $4,000. Your
quota as worked out by the county
council of defense is $....... This
amount you are asked to pay to your
precinct captain, who will give you a
receipt therefor.
s Word from the front is very en-
couraging and indications are that
peace will shortly be declared. The
declaration of peace will not over
come the necessity of this money.
The internal reorganization of the
various countries of Europe the de-
mobilizing of our armies will require
considerable length of time, and it
will be some months before our boys
are again returned to their family
circles. Relaxation from the stress
of war will tend to expose our boys
to those temptations which will be
detrimental to their moral and physi-
cal well being. To the above-named
organizations we must look to provide
proper entertainment, and to use their
influence in assisting in bringing our
boys back to us as we sent them
away-morally and physically clean.
Yours for Our Boys,

Bailey Raises Prize Corn

Jack Bailey brought several sam
Piles of field corn to this office that
would do credit to the best cornrais-
ing section in the country. He Sc
cured seed enough from brother in
the east, to plant quarter of an acre.
From this patch this season he hur-
vested 20 sacks of beautiful yellow
corn. The ears are large and the
kernels very deep and we'll maturetl..
The Gazette office has a sample ear
of corn brought from Kansas last
year It created considerable admira-
ton as it was a jumbo ear. It is
overshadowed in size by the corn
raised by Mr. Bailey on Texas ridge.
One ear weighed just pound and
three quarters. 1t isn't thoroughly
dry but allowing for a quarter Of "a
pound shrinkage it will still weigh
a. pound and half and that's no
small ear of corn Kendrick Gazette
