ALL CIGABET
MAY Be seized.
STATE HAS FULL CONTROL OVER
coNrRAsAND TRAFFIC.
IA. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
Opinion Written by Judge Preston
and concurred In by the Entire
Bench With the Exception
Of Judge salIineer.

Des Moines, May 7.--An stocks Of
cigarettes in Iowa, including those in
original packages, can be seized by
the state.
This was the decision OF the State
Supreme Court today in the case OF
the State VS.. the c. c. Taft Company
of Des Moines, Iowa.
No Right To Break Seal.
The defendant contended that the
State had no right to seize the Gig
arettes in cartoon PACKAGES as receiv-
ed by the store, as they were protect
ed by the Federal Interstate Commerce
laws.
The decision was made on the
grounds that the Taft Company had
admitted that it intended to break
the original packages and sell the
contents in smaller packages.
The decision was written by Judge
Preston and was concurred in by all
the other justices with the exception
of Judge Sallinger, who filed dis
senting vote.
Sailinger's Reason For Dissenting.
Judge Sallinger objected by saying
that the admission that the package
was to have been broken did not
take away the federal protection un-
til the seal was really broken.
II Is thought likely that the case
will be carried to the United States
Supreme court.

Patriotic Bedrock.

A most interesting graduating
entertainment was given at the
Red Rock schoolhouse east of
Greencreek Friday evening, when
two young lady graduates-Mary
James and Emma Jess-were pre-
scented with their grammar school
diplomas.
After the graduating exercises a
Red Cross auxiliary was organized
and this was followed by an auc-
ton sale of baskets, which netted
$115.25 for the Red Cross. The
least amount a basket sold for
was 1925.
Mrs. Nels Huffman made mo-

Wheat and Flour Regulations

Supplying food is Americas
principal part in the war right
now, Food means first of all,
WHEAT. AS a patriotic duty
households are asked to keep with
in II pounds of wheat flour per
person per week, and public eat
ing places within an equal allow
ance for every twenty-one meals.
Let all who can save more.
All warehousemen have been
instructed to send in the names
of those holding back wheat.
If you have not reported your
stock of flour, etc. on hand as re-
quested in this paper last week,
mail in your report at once. The
report is demanded regardless Of
the distance you live from your
trading place or how the stock
was acquired. Failure to report
is a presumption of boarding.
Every family is urged to grow
as large a garden as they can
properly take care of. Potatoes
are now comparatively cheap, but
it is generally true that the best
time to plant any crop is when it
is cheap. Victor Peterson,
Idaho County Food Administrator

Letter From Fred Won Bargen

Mr.. and Mrs. August Won Bar
gen this week received several let
tiers from their son Fred, who has
just been promoted to the position
of corporal in the army in France.
He is feeling fine and likes army
life so well that he says he would
stay with it as long as he could if
it were not that he had such a
good home to come back to. The
weekly visits of the Cottonwood
Chronicle afford Fred a great deal
of satisfaction, and he says that
the Chronicle is one thing he
can't get along without. When
Fred went to war, his father prom
ised him $4,000 if he "got" the
Kaiser. Fred advises his father
that he'd better be getting the
money ready, as he is liable to
come into camp most any time
with Old Kaiser Bill ''hog-tied
and dangling from his belt and
squealing like stuck hog"

No WOrkfor Riley Between Meals

Riley Rice arrived home Satur-
day from his visit of three weeks
with his sons on their big ranch
near LETTERS, Mont. The boys are
getting along fine with their stock
and are we'll pleased with their
investment and future outlook.
Riley says he would have staid
longer over there, but Montana
has just passed law compelling
every able-bodied man in that
state under 65 years to work at
least 5 days Of each week. OF
course the only thing Riley could
do in a case like that was to get
out of the state, as he figures that
this thing of working between
meals is not what it is cracked up
to be-and does not make a hit
with him.

At last a man who does not be-
lieve in advertising was found to
be busy in his place of business.
One of our citizens a few days ago
stepped into the business house of
a man who always argued that it
did not pay him to advertise, be-
cause, as he said, everybody
knows me anyhaowp But he
actually found him busy. The
business man had a Waterbury
watch and the itch, and when he
wasn't winding the watch he was
scratching himself.

For tine garuen party and all the
rest of summertime's engaging oppor-
tunities for living outdoors some clev-
er hats and bags to match have been
made. They all take cognizance of
the fact that everywhere the lady goes
her knitting-bag goes, too, and 1t is
getting to be as much an affair of In
terest and Importance as the hat 1t
matches. With the Introduction of mil
linery braids and laces in Its construc-
ton, we have summer knitting bags
different from anything that has gone
before. Knitting is becoming II sort
of national pastime-the tired busi-
ness woman and the woman of leisure
If there are such any more-declare
1t restful to the nerves. Anyway, 1t
is essential and must be attended to.
The novel bag shown in the picture
is merely tube-shaped affair covered
with ribbon, lace and fancy millinery
braid-a companion piece to the frilly
midsummer hat that inspired 1t. 1t is
capacious and very chic-designed for
the woman who is able to indulge in
little fancies and not recommended for

anyone else. There are plenty of
pretty bags that are more simply made
of materials that are seasonpble all
the year round. This particular bag
suggests ways of using materials one
may have on hand-for millinery Is
often discarded before it shows signs
of wear.
II does not make much difference
what hats and bags are made of so
long as they are pretty and cleverly
made. What Is called the calico
vogue" has introduced calico, gingham,
cotton crepe, percale and other cottons
into the making of extra hats for mid
summer. They might all be classed as
garden hats-but, like sport hats,
they go everywhere.
And everywhere Is Just the place to
find knitting bags-anyone who can
use needle can own one of these
matched sets. Silk cords and tassels,
narrow silk frlnges and narrow lin
gerie laces-the old-fashioned ric-rac
braid and hand -crocheted edges are all
appropriately used with these smart,
inexpensive, wartime novelties.

THOSE WHO CANNOT GO

but you must stay mt home.
You cannot be hero at the battle
front, but you can live heroically wher-
ever you are.
1t takes five men at home to keep
one man in the trenches.
YOU belong to one of those groups
| of five men.
The five men at home must stand to-
gether and do the things that count
most for one man Mt the front. For
any one man to fail is to play false to
the cause for which we work and they
fight.
You cannot fight. but you can work
and pray; you can love and serve; you
can save carefully and give sacri-
ficially. Above all else you ought to
worship in times Of war.
We believe our cause Is righteous.
Our faith is justified. Our human in
stincts are not lying to us.
The lofty ideals for which our brave
boys are fighting are the ideals for
which pure Christianity has stood for
years. W h'h tiit mus

ideals she has grown weak and un-
worthy of the great Leader. We stand
with him today for the sanctity Of
womanhood and the protection of chill
dren; for justice and mercy, truth and
righteousness for Industrial, political
and social democracy; for internation-
nj law and universal brotherhood; for
the establishment Of the kingdom of
God on earth.
These are the great ideals which
carry with them freedom, peace and
happiness for all the future.
After all, true religion is the real
conservator of civilization and the ul-
innate unifier Of humanity. The fu-
ture of democracy and civilization is
bound up with Christianity. 3.

The slip-over blouse and others that
have the appearance of slip-overs but
fasten on the shoulder, have been
steadily increasing in popularity and
their chances for becoming a feature
in fall styles are excellent. So far the
slip-overs have been developed in
georgette crepe almost to the exclu-
sion of other materials, but it is GER

substantial silks for fall. Some of
them have short peplhm and are

so effective that nothing has supplant-

Bright colors, as emerald green, blue,
gold and rose, are chosen for many of
the blouses with peplums. They hang
fairly straight and are belted in. Their
lines and beadwork are reminiscent OF
American Indian art and they continue
to be at once simple and very dressy.
With blouse of this kind and SILK

requirements of almost any wartime
function.

easy to become overheated on

Frau Won Hindenburgi We're going
to Berlin to get your precious kaiser"
"Ya, ya," said Louisa sadly. "Such
things must be. 1t stands in the Bible.
Puriflcation by fire. If it's Gods will
we fight, then we fight"
When the teachers had gone to their
rooms Louisa appeared in the office.
"Hark," she whispered to the head
teacher. my boy has volunteered
for the war. What you think of that? :?
Isn't that fine? He says: Mother
Louisa, / must CO. and tell him: GO.
We live in America, we are Ameri-
cans.'"'
One morning when the teachers had
gathered for the morning chat. Louisa
came in, her face shining. Look" she
said to the young teacher. "here is my
boys picture. He is soldier now.
How grand he looks. He is sergeant
already"
Louisa gazed lovingly at the post
card picture of fine looking soldier
boy. "Ha, ha, my fine fellow. Now
YOU don't turn over and sleep again
while call you five times more. Ia
tata, Tia tain, TIA Ia ta. Forward
march. That is fine for you" she
chuckled.
The Liberty Loan posters came.
The big loan drive was on. Louisa
fell In love with one of the posters.
"Such beautiful young lady. How
strong she is waving the flag and
leading the army. She is schoen, yn,
ya, she calls for money for the soldiers.
She shall have 1t. Ya, va"
Glancing about to be sure she was
not noticed. She slipped into the office.
Once inside she drew from her pocket
an envelope with the red triangle in
the corner and laid II before the head
teacher. Look. This money my boy
sends. 1t is the money they give him
for being good soldier. That money
I never spend. Take 1t and buy a
Liberty Bond" So Louisa went over
the top for Uncle Sam.

Embroidery Now the Thing.

That beaded trimming Is rapidly CIV
ing way to embroidery seems to be a
fashion tendency beyond dispute. 1t
is said that one reason why the metal
lie bead effect became so popular in
Paris and later In America IA season or
so ago was because 1t was possible to
make use of metal filings and scrapings
from munitions works for much of this
trimming. But for some reason very
little metal trimming is coming into
this country now and beads are scarce.
Embroidery is entirely within the
bounds of things available. Hence the
new dresses will show embroidery
rather than beads. 1t has been said
that there is an end to so-called
Oriental and ecclesiastical embroider-
les. that is, bright colors have been
overdone, and most of the smart
dresses showing embroidery will be
worked In threads of the same color or
in some simple. .one-tone contrast.

THE TEST
BY JOHN BROWN JEWETT
of the Viuilantes.

This is your crisis. this your hour;
Earth's oceans and its shores
Hold but one place of portent power.
One duty-it is yours.
Think not to hide amid the crowd
That covers land and sea;
The voice of Fate is calling loud;
Look to him, world-'tis her,
Yes, you-no other. None are born
To do what you must do:
No beaten captain waits such scorn
For failure, as must you.
1t is the test. the fine one;-
Shall king or people reign?
Who are the people? There are none
II one Is called In vain.
On you the sorrow, blood and cost,
The glory or the shame.
II freedoms cause today Is lost,
You only are to blame.
