Ger. who recently inspected
Pershing's forces.
We have a million more
men Just like them ready to go
across as fast as they can be
moved by the available ships.
We have a draft law that will
keep the current flowing as
long as necessary.
The health of the American
soldier here and abroad is
good. After a visit to most of
the cantonments in the country
Mary Roberts Rinehart de-
clares that 80 per cent of the
men are better cared for than
when they were at home. The
appearances of the men verl-
fly her statement.
The rifle which the Ameri-
can soldier uses is the best army
rifle in the world, according to
military men who have thor
oughly tested the proposition
1t is being manufactured II
abundant quantities.
The machine gun which the
American army has adopted
and is now manufacturing is {
better machine gun than the
Lewis gun which is used by the
European allies. This is admit
ted even by critics of the wal
department.
The airplanes we are build
ing and sending to France are
the best airplanes made. They
are being produced in quaint
ties that cannot help giving
the allies a supremacy in thu
air. In fact we are in position
to outmanufacture the entir'
world on airplanes and we vii
do it if necessity calls for sucl
action.
The foregoing statement
are based on facts that canno
be disputed with truthfulnes
or sincerity. They are highl!

ABOUT THE UKRAINE


~ NE of the interesting
W questions concerning the
future of Russia is whe-
ther the old empire can hold
together under the new form
of government or will fall into
several and perhaps a dozen
small republics.
Russia has never been CO.
hesive nation. 1t has never
been country speaking one
language. Much like Austria
Hungary and the Turkish en-
pire, it gathered together a
conglomerate civilization, COM
posed of diverge people of
varying degrees of culture.
Now that the czar and all he
represented have been swept
aside the national aspirations
of these groups come again to
the surface and those that have
retained their individuality in
spite of oppression call for
their rights in the society OF
nations.
The voice of none of these
groups has been heard more
clearly than that of the Uk-
raine. The rada, the national
council at Kiev, began its sit
tings with the object of estab-
fishing definitely the autono-
my of the Ukraine. If it sue
ceeds it will control great
state in the heart of ancient
Russia. with 3O,000,000 inhabi-
tants, almost as large as France
and with the territory that eX-
tends from Brest-Litovsk to the
Roumanian frontier, a country
that has sent to the front in the
fpresent war 2,500,000 soldiers,
I more than the entire army
gathered so far by the United
States.
The rada hopes to include
in the boundaries of the new
Ukraine, all territory in which,
for the most part, .Ukrainians
live. This country extends
to the Carpathians and the
Caucasus, is bordered on the
north by a region of lakes anc
forests and on the south by the
Black sea. 1t is the granary OF
, Russia. Practically all of Rus
sian grain exports pass through
. the Ukraine. 1t raises tobacco

OUR BOYS
IN FRANCE

Few Of US would maintain that the
army was ever designed to be a
school of morals. The soldiers life
iss subject to many a temptation.
Most unjustifiable, We believe, how
ever, are some of the reports which
have been circulated regarding the
discreditable condust of the Ameri--
can ExpeditiOnary Force in France.
From personal information that ha
come to us We are inclined to be-.
lieve that to thousa nds of these
young men, facing the near possibil--
ity OF death, seeing the unsp akable
horrors Of war, there is coming a
spiritual awakening to life's deep
er meanings and clearer vision of
the things that are really worth
while. Should some return even less
worthy than they LIFT US, let US
not forget that others will come
back purified and ennobled by the
experiences through which th5y will
have passed.

RED CROSS NOTES
WHAT: RED CROSS AGAIN.
WHEN WILL THIS THING END

=! So is the question now and then
flung at the committee who have un-
dertaken to finance the work for six
months ahead. The date has not
been revealed TO US. But this is an
answer certain in everything but
the date. 1t will end when We lay
down before Germany, or WHEN we
conquer Germany. But there is an
other way of putting the same thing
that may reach our minds more ef-
fectually If the Red Gro work ends
because it is not convenient for US
I to support it, in that minute Ger
many has US conquered. And the
other half of that statement is that
anyone who is not alive enough to
this fact to support it at heavy cost
is not awake enough to help hold
back fee such as that we are con-
/ fronting.
The present finance committee was
/ in the Christmas membership cam
paign and apprec:at.s the alertness
with which two and a half times our
County quota sprung in res- -onse. But
We must come to yol again. TIL re
is no where else to go; and very few
so far have shown any disposition
to side--step this burden We hopsd,
there might be enough zeal to bring
in responses to thu requests print
ed in the papers the last two weeks.
Only three citizens thot it wofth
while Why a few should be requir-
ed to spend so much time in hunting
up the many who are as good citi--
zens as We are and spend as much
talk in getting the pledge that must
be obtained is a question about as
hard as the one at the heed of this
article. But We are out to do what
is necessary. We expect to reach
again every family in the Payette
voting district. We would be fit
subjects for internment if We did
not. Get your minds made up at
least and so help that much to short
en- the time required to complete the
work. !
The Sale announced for next Sat-
urday is temporarily post tponed.
Watch for the future date.

MANAGER BROWN
: MAKES GOOD

Manager Brown, of the Farmers
Cooperative Creamery Co., re-
turned last week from North Yaki-
ma, where he was in attendance at
the Northwest Dairy Products Show,
and as usual brought home his full
share Of the laurels, one medal as
best butter maker, and one as Sec
end in butter testing.
Mr.. Brown reports that many of
the large butter buyers were present
at this meeting and in going over
the butter shipped from Payette,
they found it the nearest to what
they had been looking for of any
butter exhibited.
The Payette Creamery is new
getting the very top price for but
ter and it is only a question of
time until a premium will be Of
fered for the Payette Valley but
ter. The farmers are directly re-
sponsible for the success of this
creamery in making this remark
able quality of butter. At least
two--thirds Of the cream that comes
into the factory is A No. / grade and
it is important that every one watch
the quality of their cream.
The cream from which the prize
butter was made was taken from
the churning Of about 800 lbs. DR..
Larsen, Assistant Chief of the
Dairy Department of Washington,
D. c.; and Prof. Frevert, Of the
Western Division OF the L. S. De-
partment, scored the butter and were!
unable to find any criticism on the
cream used,

SEPARATION

The Food Administration which,
while compelling flour mills to make
a barrel of flour from not to exceed
a given quantity of wheat, has here
tofore permitted the separation of a
small quantity of the low grade from
the Patent flour. Now has instruct
ed the mills that they are not to
make this separation any longer.
The results will be, millers say,
that flour as now turned out will not
be quite as white and as lively as
customary, but the difference will
be small.
