Dear SIR
Allow me the space in your
valuable paper to express my
thanks and appreciation for the
great work and good being done
by the Blade; and to complement
you for your ability to keep
atioat amid the perilious times
when many journals which start
ed since and before you entered
the field, have longe since been
consined to the grave of journal
ism. May | venture the assertion
that fair dealing wholesome
news, and fearless avOcacy for
right and fair play have contrib
uted to the success of your paper
and make it impossible for a con
sentative and reasonable public
to patronize it unstintingly. AS
for myself, my deck would be
lonesome and incomplete were ii
denied visit of the Blade each
week. The success of many of
our social and religious functions
are due largely to the wide cir
culatiOn given them from the col
umns of your paper, and the
terms are so reasonable, the field
covered so broad, that one can
not fail to recognize at once the
privilege as a wise investment.
The fact that you offer your col
umns cheerfully and freely for
notes and other news of the COM
munity and churches when of a
reasonable length ought to APP
peal to every church, society and
religious organization The in
tellectual status and moral stand
ing of your publication is seen
and appreciated when one notes
that on your editorial staff you
have enlistened the services of
some of the best legal talent in
the state and nation, men of
broad and varied experience both
in the social, civil, and industrial
life of our people, and whose in
sight and genius to comprehend
the thoughts and demands of the
times enables them so to collect
and arrange their matter that it
is a joy to read and profit to
ponder over it would bid you
Good Speed. Continued success
ever be yours. May all the good
things in store for mOrtals come

Many Districts Are Falling
Down in QuOta-This Is

If Gem is to be one of the honor

drive for funds for welfare work

of the districts must speed up and get
into the game in more liberal man
ner North and South Emmett pre-
cincts are going strong, Pearl and
Montour have gone over the top, but
West Emmett, and several country
districts are away behind and need to
speed up to carry Gem county over
the line
We cannot let our boys believe we
have forgotten them so soon-they
are yet in the trenches; the firing has
ceased for the moment, and the whole
world prays that the war is over. But
Europe is still in flames. No man
an tell what any hour may bring forth
1t seems certain months must pass be-
fore strong government can be set up
in central Europe on the wrecks war
has left. Until that time it is unlikely
the American troops will be returned
home. The great work of these seven
welfare organizations will be needed
more than ever in this period of semi
quiet.
Gem county, of course, will do her
part. Anything else is unbelievable.
This is no time to quit, though hos
tilities have ceased. Only two more
days remain and everyone should get
into the game and give willingly and
generously.

is on Smiths Prairie, had been strick-

Emmett. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderdasson
and Tom Davidson, brother Of Mrs.
Ralph Vanderdason, left at once to at
tend them. This message was soon
followed by another urging them to
make haste; that the baby had died
and the father was steadily growing
worse, with almost no hope of re-
covery. Ralph lived, however, until
after the arrival of his parents, but
soon passed away. The father and
babe were buried there yesterday, and
the mother is reported better. We are
informed that they are being cared for
at rangers station where they had
been forced by illness to discontinue
their journey. The sympathy of the
will go out to the family
