DEFENSE COMMIT
TEE IN ACTION
Committee Holds Session in
Cottonwood Wednesday.

The committee on investigation
designated by the local County
Council of Defense visited Cot
tonwood on Wednesday afternoon.
The committee consists of j.
Frank Sims, chairman, and asso-
ciates R. F. Fulton and M. Reese
Hattabaugh, all of Grangeville.
The committee informed us
that they had under investigation
certain alleged acts and remarks
of disloyalty by several Cotton
wood citizens. The accused par
ties were brought before the COM
mittee and explained that while
certain remarks made unthought-
edly by them might seem treason
able, they were misunderstood,
and that it was not their intention
to be disloyal to the country or
government or hostile toward the
Red Cross. Upon their solemn
promise to refrain from ever re-
peating such acts in any manner
the committee deemed it best to
make no arrests at this time, but
cautioned these parties, as well as
all Others, that hereafter disloyal-
ty many manner will be severely
dealt with.
The committee explained in
unmistakable language that dur
ing a crisis like the present, when
the country faces the gravest stu
ton in its history, there is no
room in this nation for any but
true, loyal Americans, and that
every act Of disloyalty-either by
word or action only tends to
prolong the war.
The committee informed us
that there are several more cases
Of disloyalty in this portion of the
county to come up yet for inves-
tigation, and that all cases, which
in their opinion warrant it, will
be turned over to the federal au-
thorities for prosecution.

If YOU want to keep your hair in

than the most expensive soap or any,
