AUSTRIA READY
TO TALK ABOUT
AT ONCE
FOREIGN MINISTER BURiAN SAYS
DUAL MONARCHY TO TAKE UP
QUESTIONS ON TERMS NOT IN
VoLvING TERRITORY.

AMSTERDAM, July 16.-Baron Won
Burian, the Austro-Hungarian foreign
minister, in a note addressed to the
Austrian and Hungarian premiers, IS
quoted in a dispatch from Vienna as
saying:
There is hardly any difference be-
tween the general principles enun-
ciated by the statesmen of both bel
ligerents. President Wilson's four new
points OF July shall not. apart from
certain exaggerations, arouse our op-
position"
Continuing. the Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister said:
THE enemy'S obStinacy regarding
his territorial demands concerning AL
sace-Lorraine, Trieste. Trentino and
the German colonies appears to be in
surmountable."
In his reference to President Will
sons four new points in his July 4th
speech, Baron Burian said he was able
to approve of them heartily and that
to a great extent nobody would re-
fuse homage TO this genius and no
body would refuse his cooperation"
Baron Burian said none of the bel
iigerent states need ever come into the
position reached by Russia and Ru-
mania as I'VE ever are ready to enter
into peace negotiations with all our
opponents"
Continuing the foreign minister OF
Austria-Hungary said:
IF our enemies continuously de-
mand atonement for wrong done and
restitution, then this IS a claim which
we could urge with more justification
against them because we have been
attacked and the wrons done to US
must be redressed.'
I'VE are prepared to discuss every
thing" said Baron Burian, except our
own territory

]. F. Huchcroft, general foreman
of public roads, bridges and works
for British Columbia, Canada, was in
Boomers Ferry Saturday to get in
formation regarding the amount of
auto tourist travel which may be
expected for the year 1918 over the
northern route into Canada.
Mr.. Huchcroft advised with A. j.
Kent, secretary of the Kootenai
Valley Commercial Club, concerning
the plans of the Canadian govern
ment in regard to auto road con-
ian government has already appro-
work on a transcontinental highway
from Halifax to Vancouver which
when completed will mean an ex-
penditure of over $20,000,O0O.
This transacontinental highway
will come through by way of Alberta
or Yaht station, both of which are
within a few miles of the interna-
tional boundary line. The road will
be graded 60 feet wide across the
continent.
AS Bonners Ferry is the principle
town in Idaho on the northern route
of the National Parks Highway it is
certain that nearly all of the tourists
going to and from Canada or touring
east and west will pass through this
town to make connections with either
the National Parks Highway or the
Canadian transcontincntal highway.
Boomers Ferry will be the gateway
to the entire Canadian district. If
the people of Boundary county ex-
pect to realize from this Canadian
tourist business efforts should be
made at once to have the connecting
roads between Boomers Ferry and the
boundary line put in first-class shape
for auto travel.

Forgot What He Needed

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,

experience some time ago, when a
young gentleman came to this office
and asked for a copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized
it carefully when copy was handed
him, and then said: "Now l know"
''What is it you are looking for" we
inquired. "My wife sent me after
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and l forgot the name. l
went to several stores and the clerks
named over everything in the line
on the shelf except Chamberlain
I'll try again, and I'll never go home
without Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy." The Republican would suggest
to the proprietors of stores, that they
post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith in
stores where substituting is permit
ted, to say nothing of the injustice
to makers of good goods and the dis
appointment of customers.

Vest Pocket Was His Bank

One interesting incident Of the
first days drive in Oelwein for the
third Liberty Loan Is illustrative OF
the fact that there is plenty Of
money that is not working. An
elderly man of German birth came
to the committee of his ward and
told them that he had figured his
quota on a per cent basis was "a
bout $500. This was found to be
correct. He was asked to name the
bank through which he would do
business, and he replied that he
would pay spot cash. He pulled out
a hundred dollar yellow back with
the remark that he carried it in his
pocket four years and the other two
hundred in smaller denominations.
This was pinned to his application
and he was made happy.-Oelwein

TOTAL ABSTINENCE CLUB.
Now Being Formed Throughout
State of Iowa.

It's going to be a mighty popu-
lar thing to belong to the new kind
Of Total Abstinence Club now being
formed throughout the state of Iowa
and other states.
This Club pledged its members to
abstain from the use of wheat -four
until after harvest in order to save
our allies from starvation.
America has not only sufficient
corn to permit a total abstinence
from the use Of wheat but there is
also immense quantities of potatoes
available as well as other cerial
substitutes such as oats, rice, barley,
etc.
The United States doesn't need the
wheat -four: the soldiers and our
Allies abroad must have it; the new
total abstinence pledge deprives our
people only of little surplus lux
ury but it supplies a necessity for
those who are fighting for us over
there.
Food Administrator Deems is con-
hdent that every Iowan will join
the movement just as every man in
Grimes county, Texas is going in and
500 Hotel men few days ago pledg-
ed themselves to abolish wheat pro-
ducts altogether from their dining
rooms until after harvest.
At Mt. Gilead, Ohio, every per-
son attending big meeting Joined
the new Total Abstinence Club. In
one Texas county all -four has been
diverted in transit to the sea board
for exports to our allies. Forty
two counties in Arkansas have turn
ed over more than 100000 pounds
of -four to the government. Sc
bastian county alone turned over
1850 barrels. Fort Smith gave up
fifteen carloads. Jefferson county
tnrned over thirty carloads.
The United States cannot suffer
from abstaining wholly from the use
of wheat -four. Administrator
Deems announces that the milling
output of corn meal has increased
from 3,00O,000' barrels in October
to 100000 barrels in March, and
the mills have capacity Of 200 per
a
put will be greater each month.

Too Poor to Buy Bond-Kills Sell


Too Poor to Buy Bond-kills Sell.
On Wednesday of last week Jesse
Innings, farmer living near New
Hartford in this county committed
suicide. He went late in the day to
the farm of a neighbor, Fred KEEL
bert's, a mile and half distant, and
hung himself in the barn on the
place. His body was found the next
morning by Mr.. Kelbert. The sui
eide had fastened rope about his
neck, then attached it to ladder
into the hay loft. 1t is supposed he
swung his weight from the ladder
and death soon afterward ensued.
Those who are in a position TO
know say that he frequently made
the statement that he would be un-
able to buy a liberty bond and that
his friends would say he was un-
loyal, and his rash act is attributed
to his brooding over what he believ-
ed to be his unloyal position and cir
cumstances. -Clarksville Star.

Ten summer Cottages Burned.

McGregor, Ia, April 22.-In for
est fire which swept district near
the Mississippi river here, known as
McGregor Heights, owned by an out
ing association, ten summer cottages
were burned with nearly all their
contents last week. The fire started
in some unknown way on the face
of the bluff, thence to where the
cottages are located. When the blaze
was discovered two of the cottages
were in flames and the fire was adj
vancing swiftly through the oak
woods which cover the hill. The
ground was carpeted thick with
leaves which were dry as finder.
About 200 men and boys made a
valiant fight in the woods that last
ed nearly two hours before the
spreading of the fire was checked,
