All MnSt Work or Fight.

der has issued an order that aft
er Jnly l every man in the draft
must be fighting or working at a
useful occupation which will have
some relation to winning the
war. This is a good deal more
drastic than certain laws passed
by various States, which only
provided for work of any kind.
So as to make the matter clear,
General Crowder has specified
various occupations which are
not useful.
The list begins with gamblers,
race track and bucketshop at
tendants, and fortune teIlers.
This will hit only a limited num-
Der Of persons, and more follow
ers of these professions" are
outside the draft limits. Others
are more inclusive. Walters,
bartenders, theatre ushers, ele-
vator operators, servants in clubs
and hotels and clerks in stores
mustgetinto war-like occupations.
1t may be said that a good many
Of these places are already held
by women bartenders omitted
so that in this locality there will
not be much of a roundup.
In fact, the demand for high
priced labor is so great that most
young men have needed no COM
pulsion to go where the most
money awaits them. A few are
considered 9lackers, and if they
don't change their jobs they will
be put in Class l, which means
immediate army service. This
will apply to married men and
all with, dependents. There is to
be no favoritism shown. If you
can't or won't do war work, you
must fight.
1t is the desire of the govern
ment to increase the number of
me n in the shipyards and in the
merchant marine as rapidly as
possible, and compulsion will be
used when necessary. 1t is q
good plan, although it may cause
some perturbation in particular
Instances. Admittedly it is rad
ical and unpr ecedented, but we
are getting used to such things.
Men in the draft should under
stand that they are really in the
military service now, and can be
made to work as the government
pleases, so long as not called to
the colors. Perhaps this will
have a stimulating effect on some
languid souls. In any event the
workmen are to be secured.
Nothing is to be omitted to
win the war, and just now labor
of certain kinds is as necessary
as an army in the field.

The News last week told of
the drowning of Mrs. Elsie Feight
in Licking Creek, but at the time
of going to press her body had
not been found. The story of
the said affair is about as fol-
lows: Mrs. Feight, who was a
daughter of the late William T..
and Mary Lake now M Mary
Swope Clevenger, lived near the
fording at Lakes Mill in Belfast
township. On Tuesdsy of last
week, she drove over to Walker
Mellott's with a horse and buggy
to attend to a little business at
the store, and started to return
home in the evening. It had
been raining and when she reach
ed the forcing opposite her home
the creek was much swollen, but
as it was about half past eight or
nine O'Clock, the probability is
that she misjudGed the condi-
ton of the stream, and when she
reached the strong current, the
buggy was upset and she and the
horse and buggy carried down.
She has a tenant farmer living
in her house, and when she did
not return in the evening, he just
Thought she had decided to spend
the night with some neighbor.
Next morning he went to the
fording and saw that a buggy had
entered the stream, but there
were no tracks to show that it
had come out. A little later the
horse, with the shafts attached,
was found about half a mile be-
low the Lake fordiug, and after
ward the buggy, lap, robe, etc.
1t was then apparent that the
BODY of the unfortunate woman
was somewhere in the stream.
Soon the word was spread q
throughout the neighborhood and
scores of men and women turned
out and the search was kept up
diligently until FRIDAY afternoon,
when her body was discovered in
some alders fringing q little ISL
and in the Creek a half mile or
so below the fording at Amos
Gordon's (the old Lynch fording).
Her clothing was not torn, and
her BODY had but few bruises. lt
is said that she carried a con-
siderable sum of money in a hand
bag, but the hand bag has not
been found.
Her body was removed to the
home of her mother Mrs. Mary
Swope, where short funeral SER
vices were held on Saturday after
noon.
Her remains were then con-
veyed to the Ebenezer church
where the funeral services were
conducted by her pastor Rev. E..
J. Croft, assisted by Rev. VIII
Truax, John Mellott, Isaiah Mel
lott, and Rev, }. c. Garland, aft
er which interment was made in
the cemetery at that church.
The funeral was attended by the

FARM LABOR.
If Fulton County Farmers Need Labor
Help, Communicate with JOhu
R. jackson

The Committee of Public
Safety for Pennsylvania has ap-
pointed the undersigned County
Manager for Farm Labor in Full
ton County. The duties of the
County Manager For Farm La
Dor will, in brief, be to learn the
needs of our farmers for labor,
and to apply such labor to
them as is available. The first
source Of labor will be the labor
that is available in the county.
So far as this labor is concerned
the farmers will, to a large ex-
tent, secure their own labor as
they have always done. But the
Committee of Public Safety and
the United States Department of
Agriculture, and the United
States Department of Labor, are
conducting campaign through
out the County in the interest Of
farm labor. Thru these depart
ments men, and boys between
the ages of 16 and q, are being
recruited for farm labor. Ar
rangements have been made with
many high schools and colleges
whereby young men fitted for
agriculture service are enrolled
in the Boys Working Reserve and
sent to State College for a two
weeks course in practical farm
ing and then sent out on the
farms. These boys are under
dicipline and must perform the
work on the farm in a satisfac-
tory way in order to obtain credit
on their school course. The Boys
Working Reserve and the County
Manager For Farm Labor have
direct supervision of boys placed
on the farm, and see to it that
the boy performs his duties as he
should and also that the farmer
treats the boy properly.
1t is the duty of the farmers
at this time to grow everything
possible in the food line, and if
the farmer by taking on addi-
tional labor can increase his pro-
duction it is his patriotic duty to
take such labor, as we now have
two to feed where we had one
before.
While our farmers may not feel
that they are in such great need
ofadditional labor as would justify
them in taking one of these high
school boys between 16 and q,
for present needs, yet the farm
ers should recognize in this sys-
TEN a source of labor which they
will surely be in very great need
of before this war continues an
other two years. 1t is a known
fact by the best authorities that
within another two years, if the
war continues, there will be such
a shortage of farm labor as to
effect every farmer in this coun-
try; therefore, the farmer should
commence to prepare to meet
that shortage by helping to train
the thousands of high school
boys who are willing to under
take farm work because they
recognize it as patriotic duty. .
Next year when the need for la
Dor is greater, we should have
thousands of these young men
with, at least, one seasons ex-
perience on the farm. We will
have them and the farmer will
get the benefit of their service,
if ne will cooperate in helping to
train these young men.
Communicate with me concern
ing your farm labor needs that
you are not able to supply in your
local community, am here to
help you help your government
win this war.
JOHN r. JACKSON,
County Manager for Farm La
Dor.

Bands Declare Vacation

The Grangeville and Cotton
wood bands have decided to take
a "lay-off" until school begins
next month, when some members
will return from the harvest fields
and the bands re-organized.
If the draft takes those in the
18-year class, it will be necessary
for the Cottonwood band to ac-
cept lady members, of which there
are quite a number who wish to
join in order to make the band
a permanent organization.
This matter will be taken up
at special meeting sometime
next month.

Walter S. Brockman was born
in Bates county, Mo-, July Is,
1873. The family moved to Cal
ifornia in 1883 and 20 years later
to this section, where he success
fully followed the stock business
ever since. By his own efforts
and careful management he accu-
mulated a vast fortune estimated
at around a quarter of a million
dollars.
In 1911 he was married to Miss
Hulda Sanstead of Tacoma,
Wash. Besides his widow and A.
year-old son who reside at the farm
home near Ferdinand, and one
brother, Joe, who is also a promi-
nent stockman of this section, he
leaves to mourn his loss many
friends throughout Idaho, Oregon
and Washington, who will always
remember Walter Brockman as
an ideal citizen and a prince
among good fellows.

ThOusand-Acre Farm
Sells For 100000

acre farm, ten miles east Of Cot
tonwood, to Ed Nelson of Grange
vile for $100 an acre, or $780,
600, possession to be given Oct. 1.
This is perhaps the largest land
deal ever consummated in Idaho
county.
On Wednesday, Sept. 25, Mr..
Mulhall will sell at auction sale
all of his fancy stock, farm imple-
ments, household goods, etc., and
will then go to California and
Arizona for the winter. It is his
intention next Spring to go to
New York, where relatives reside
and where he will perhaps make
his home.
Last spring a horse fell on him
at his home, crippling him up to
such extent that he has been un-
able to look after his extensive
land and stock interests, which is
his reason for retiring from the
business.

DEATH OF WAL
! TER BROCKMAN
Falls to His Death in Snake
River Mountains.

Perhaps no death that ever oc-
Cured in this portion of the coun-
try caused a greater shock than
when the news was received Sun
day that Walter Brockman, the
we'll known stockman, was killed
that evening by falling over a
bluff in the Snake river mountains
near Pittsburg Landing on the
Oregon side of the river.
0. D. Hamlin was asked to 90
over with his auto truck to bring
out the body, and he and Under
taker Maugg left at once, going
in by way of Whitebird. The
body was brought next day to
Grangeville where it was prepared
for burial, which took place at
Cottonwood Wednesday, 7th, at 8
o'clock.
Mr.. Brockman had a boat-load
of provisions shipped up the river
from Lewiston for use at his stock
ranch on the hill near the river.
The usual landing place there is
at Pittsburg, but owning to the
low water the landing this time
was made at a point Is miles be-
low. From there Walter made a
new trail up the mountain side
and was packing the supplies up
to the ranch with six mules.
Sunday afternoon he was on his
way up the steep trail, riding his
horse behind the six mules. Two
of his men on the opposite side Of
the canyon saw him start up, and
several hours later saw 5 of the
mules and the horse in the trail
nearly at the top, apparently in
trouble and no rider in sight.
Thinking some accident had hap
pened they went over and were
Mortified at finding Walter and
one of the mules dead on the rocks
about 500 feet below.
Evidently he was adjusting the
pack on the mule and in some
manner the animal either kicked
or showed him over the bluff and
both fell at least 500 feet, touch.
ing at only a couple of places
His body was smashed to a pulp
every bone being broken. To ado
to the horror of the situation, the
men found it necessary to wrap
the remains in canvas and with
ropes had to let him down 200
feet further in order to be able tc
get out.
Nearly all the stockmen from
that portion of the country were
present at the burial. The funer.
al services were conducted by Rev
J. A. Pine, the Christian minister
of Grangeville and an old friend
of the family. The body was laid
to rest beside the graves of his
parents, sister and his little
child, the death of the latter hav.
ing occurred 18 months ago. The

R. H. Kendall, local manager
for the Grangeville Light & Power
Co., was seriously injured Wednes-
day. He was riding his motor
cycle at a terrific rate ofspeed
down the hill near the old brew
cry when the machine broke
down, throwing him violently on
to a plank cross-walk. For awhile
it was thought he was fatally
hurt, but luckily no bones were
broken and he is getting along
nicely under the care of DR.. Shin
nick. His mother arrived here
