A Soldiers Letters

Following are extracts from
several letters written by Arthur
o. Hartinger from Somewhere in
France to his brother, w. F.
Hartinger who lives at Leland:
March II. Everything is going
fine over here. | will write you
once every week. Please send me
little tobocco once in a while and
also some shaving cream.
We will soon put the finish to
the old Kaiser. He is not fooling
with a bunch of rockies now and he
is beginning to find it out.
March %. would like to see you
all but we are going to lick HI
out of the Huns and then when we
get home we can stay. | am well
and have most everything a soldier
needs, plenty of clothes and plenty
to eat. | was talking to a German
prisoner who had trained under old
Lange. He said Lange was a
general in the German army and
did nothing but train soldiers. He
has turned traitor and | hope that
he will never get a dollar of his
money out of the country.
April IA. 1t is sure hell here
right now. They are doing some
hard fighting and | think this will
be the decisive battle of the war.
1t is cold and rainy over here for
the last two or three days. The
place | am sleeping in is about like
our barn. | have three small
blankets.
We have to win this war or we
are not coming home. | don't
think there is an American that
wants to go back until Germany is
whipped so bad that she will never
be able to rise again.
The Germans got little French
girl and nailed her to an old barn
with spike through her neck.
Several other atrocious stories are
related and the letter continues.
Editor.) That is why we are here
today and that is what we are fight
ing for. 1t looks as if they could
have left women and children out
of this war. The above is every
bit true and | could tell you lot
more if space permitted.
May 8. | am we'll and never felt
better. am glad that every
thing is so we'll at home. Foi
Gods sake don't worry about me

The Editors Wedding
Soemnied at The Summer Home of Mrs E. E. Calkins
Sunday Afternoon. Moscow, Idaho.

The sub-editor of the Gazette
was there, likewise there were
present the Calkins family, two
brothers and their wives, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. V. Dunkle and baby, and
Mr.. and Mrs. S. H. Knepper.
Last Sunday afternoon the above
named guests assembled at Ellen
dale Lodge, the summer home of
Mrs. E. E. Calkins, to witness the
marriage of her daughter, Miss
Winifred to Ralph B. Knepper,
editor and proprietor of the Gazette.
Miss Calkins was for several
years a very successful teacher in
the Kendrick high school and is at
present superintendent of the
schools Of Latah county.
The few honored guests waited
expectantly for the appearance Of
the handsome couple that was to be
united in the holy bonds of wedlock.
In due time the bride, splendidly
and tastefully gowned, accompanied
by the lucky groom moved out of
the Lodge and paused under a
bower Of green decorated with
wild flowers. They were attended
by Miss May Calkins and j. E.
Nessly, editor of the daily Star
Mirror.
But here the story changes. The
attendants at once became prin-
cipals. Two couples clasped hands
and most beautiful and impress
i've marriage ceremony was per.
formed by Rev. Hare. pastor of the
Presbyterian church of Moscow.
This double wedding was indeed
surprise, not only to the invited
guests, but also to most of the
Calkins family. But the gentle
lady, Mrs. Calkins, beamed radiant.
ly upon her happy daughters and
the two clever newspaper men who
had thus become members of her
family. Later, however, she sadly
remarked that she still had house
but no home, all her children were
married.
A substantial dinner, to accord
with the picturesque surroundings
was served. Many were the con
gratulations and good wishes that
accompanied these newly .weds who
in due time took their departure
and left the old Lodge with it.

The ceremony was solemnized in
beautiful bower of wild flowers
and honeysuckle, trained over the
spreading bows of cIump of cedar
trees, both couples taking the vows
at the same time.
The wedding of May Calkins
and j. E. Nessly came as a COM
plete surprise to all but the mother
of the bride and one brother and
his wife. The guests had been in
vlted to attend the wedding of Miss
Winifred Calkins and Mr.. Knepper
without being told that it was a
double wedding.
Immediately following the cere-
mony a luncheon was served in the
grove. after which Mr.. and Mrs.
knepper departed for bridal tour
covering the coast cities, going by
automobile. They carry camping
outfit and will spend two or three
weeks camping along the roads in

will make their home part of the
time at Moscow, where Mrs.
Knepper will continue in charge of

Items of Interest

Western ship yards are going to
break all records in ship launching
July fourth when every yard poss-
ible will send ships into the water.
The eternal doom Of the Kaiser
will be launched at the same time.
No individual making his home
in Idaho can truthfully say to him
self Il have no interest in pay
rolls" In some way or other every
person in the state is benefited by
the circulation Of big pay roll
money.
This is the season of the year
when farmers have little to sell
but what will be their condition of
affluence when the growing bumper
crops are harvested and cashed?
Yet there is a school of socialists
and political agitators telling the
farmers that their lot is that of the
plundered Russian peasant and that
they are the prey Of the beasts of
the Jungle. otherwise big business
and the organized middleman.
The government is mobilizing
farm labor which will begin work
on the Oklahoma wheat fields first,
then working through Kansas and
the northwest states as the different
crops come on. This organized
effort has much in it's favor and
will doubtless conserve much other
wise wasted energy.
Arrangements have been made
for a reduced railroad fare of
approximately one cent a mile for
soldiers and sailors who desire to
visit their homes before going to
France.
The Gas Defence Service is now
manufacturing 5000 horse gas
masks every day and are sending
them to France. It is expected
that within a short time every
horse connected with the American
expeditionary forces will be equip
ed with the new masks which seem
to be superior to any horse mask in
use to date.
Senator Borah says: ''The profit
eer! That scavenger Of civilization,
that tarantula burying it's fangs in
the veins and arteries of the wound
ed and the grief-stricken!"
Governor Alexander says: This
is no time to discuss what recreat-
ion man needs in order to enjoy
good health. If he is in that con.
dition and able-bodied, as he must
be to walk around a billiard or pool
table for an hour or two at time,
he is certainly able-bodied enough
to shoulder a gun or a hoe or a
rake to work in a garden"

A Reception

thermometer somewhere in the
nineties we wended our way to the
Presbyterian church. We went
there simply as a cold blooded
newspaper man and for no other
reason.
AS we understood it, the receipt
ion was given bv the older members
of the church to the comparatively
new members. Imagine our first
surprise when we found the spac-
ious Auditorium comfortably filled
with an attentive audience, an
audience that would do credit to
any church. Addresses, recitation,
and music made up most profit
able hour or more. This too, was
in the nature of surprise to this
scribe.
But we must avoid details. 1t
is not the intention to follow the
program. Suffice it to say that it
was most excellent not only from
a literary standpoint but also from.
the splendid spirit that prevailed
throughout.
While listening to the program
we became reminiscent. We re-
called the time that DR.. Smith
came to Kendrick where he found
a disorganized church and one that
was totally bankrupt. We recalled
the time when the old manse was
fit place only for bugs and bats.
What providential thing it would
have been if a fire had cleaned out
both the manse and church build
ing. That would have given DR..
Smith far better start. As it
was there was no more discourage
ing proposition in existence than
the one that confronted this en-
ergetic preacher.
Will he succeed under such con-
ditions? Nine tenths of the people
answered, "No". But here again
we can only generalize. DR.. Smith
knows no such word as fail. To
succeed he was willing to become a
day laborer six days in the week
and preacher of Righteousness on
the seventh and to this his people
seemed to give assent. For four
long and weary years this aged
man has worked as a day laborer
and at the same time filled the Of
flee of spiritual adviser to the peo-
Pile. OVERWHELMINGLY he labored
: on and with what result?
Having been away from the
village of Kendrick for three years
on our return we naturally looked
for changes for the better and had
no trouble in finding many of them.
But after spending three or four
5 days in the town we unhesitatingly
{ declare that the greatest asset
Kendrick has ever had is DR.. Smith.
, The new Manse itself is enough to
, crown his work with halo of
glory.
When we walked through the
new spacious church with its as
sembly room, it's Sunday school
room, its Christian Endeavor room,
it's young ladies parlor, its capacious
dining room, and its fully equipped
, kitchen, all too numerous for de-
tailed description, our feelings
could be expressed only in one
. amazed.
In conclusion the Gazette most
earnestly calls upon the people of
Kendrick as well as now united
: congregation and says in words not
y, to be misunderstood: For Gods
sake help DR.. Smith to do the
, menial labor that yet remains to be
done and give him time and oppor-
tunitv to build IN thiS-nOt Presbv-
terian-this community church
which is the remaining ambition of
= the Doctors life.
