RED CROSS SLANDERERS

In the case of H. c. Owens, who was
tried here Monday, we saw the poison
ing effects of pro-German calumny.
Owens said he heard repeatedly the
propaganda lie and had come to believe
it. The subtle working of the propa.
gandist had turned Owen into cynic
and had caused him to lose faith in his
own ideals. The dissemination of such
rumors is more hurtful than we think.
In the end they may be more harmful
than the poisoning of food supply or
atrocities that fairly make US shudder
when we contemplate them.
Let us suppose that Owens, fed on
slander, be increased to the scores.
Can't you imagine the effect on the
minds of the unread and ignorant?
The spread of such calumnies should be
crushed. The author of such stories
should be struck down by a strong
hand.
Some of the newspapers of the coun.
try have undertaken to assist the gov.
ernment in crushing the propagandist
and fools. Such stand has been taken
by the Seattle Star will help to put an
end to traitor-slanderers.
The Star has made the following
offer:
The Star offers $500 to nail Red
Cross lies circulated by pro- German
traitors-and in some cases by just
plain fools.
You've heard the lie about the log
ger, who was supposed to have written
an old lady telling her he had bought
the socks she made for soldiers.
You've heard the lie about all the
Red Cross speakers who were supposed
to be getting rich from Red Cross re-
ceipts.
You've heard the lie which tried to
brand every worker in the Red Cross
as war CRATER.

.SNOWSHOERS FIND
SCARCITY OF SNOW

The base of Mount Hood, according
to j. Wesley Ladd and Don Zann, of
Portland, who returned Tuesday night
from visit to the clubhouse of the
Portland Snowshoe club, located at a
mile elevation near Cloud Cap Inn, is
almost as free of snow as during the
summer months. The Portland men
state that the warm rains of the past
two weeks have melted all of the snow
up to the forest line and have eaten
into the old formation of the glaciers.
The visitors were carried to the edge
of the national forest by Chas. Rath.
bun. But for the fact that the Cloud
Cap Inn road had been diked, to pre-
vent destruction by winter storms, the
journey to the clubhouse might have
been made the entire distance by auto
mobile, it is said.

The President has taken control of
the railroads. Now let him proceed a
step further and conscript labor. The
railroads for the most part were doing
all in thier power to assist the govern
ment in conducting the war. They
were hampered by governmental re-
strictions themselves. 1t is true that
very large element of loyal labor is
backing the government with all pow
er, but another element is putting on
the brakes to such an extent that we
doubt their loyalty. 1t is time that
this retarding element were stopped.

VOTING PRECINCTS
REMAIN UNCHANGED

The county court, in session yester-
day, rescinded action taken at the last
regular meeting which provided for a
change in voting percincts in the
county in accordance with law adopt
ed at the last legislature prohibiting
the interlapping of rural precincts and
those of incorporated cities. District
Attorney Derby rendered an opinion to
the effect that the new law, because of
the vagueness of its terms would be
imperative and invalid.
The precincts of the county will
therefore remain unchanged.

HOOVERIZING BE-
GINS IN PRODUCTION

The principles being practiced today
as set forth by Herbert Hoover, Food
Administrator, are not all those OF eco
nomical consumption. We must prop
erly produce goods before conservation
can be practiced consistently, therefore
production must also be saving. For
what would it profit us if we were to
conserve while the producers were plac-
ed under no restrictions whatever. The
Government has realized this in max
ing certain rules for flour mills, baker
les, etc.
Production in dairylng is becoming
larger in this section with every month.
Much depends on the saving of the but.
terfat from the milk, which should be
accomplished by the means of good
cream separator. Not only the amount
of butterfat saved but your profits, time
and convenience depend on the wise
selection of a separator. Those who
buy cheap machine and think they are
getting a bargain soon find out their
mistake. You cannot make mistake
in buying an Empire Cream Separator.
The Empire is efficiency itself. No
other machine can compare with it in
workmanship, material and service. An
Empire is an investment not for month
or a year but for lifetime. Call and
see them at Heidepriem's. Adv.

IN AVIATION CORPS
Rufus J. Pitcher Writes From Aviation
Field in Texas and Has Many In
teresting Things to Tell.

Writing from the famous field for avi-
ators, Kelly Field, near San Antonio,
Texas, Rufus j. Pitcher, has many inter
esting things to tell of the life of an
aviator while in training for service over
the battle fields of Europe. Starting his
letter he says that he owes its recipient
an apology for not having written be-
fore, but that he was too busy" Con.
tinuing, he says:
81 am aware that too busy is a trite
alibi for not looking after correspond.
ence, but when l say too busy at a
ground school, | mean all that it implies.
The government certainly lays great
deal of stress on the foundation of fly
ing, and its ground schools are much
like one year at West Point crowded in
to eight weeks. The one that | attend
ed has a reputation that has penetrated
to Europe and Egypt. The course was
very interesting, but regret that CEN
sorship forbids me giving details of en-
gines, aeroplanes, machine guns, courses
as well as other subjects | never dream
ed of being included in ground school.
1t is sufficient that l finished and grad
uated, and in two hours after | had com
pleted the course was on the way down
here, l am comfortably located in good
barracks, and have very good food
Since aviators are supposedly the cream
Of the army, the government exacts very
strict discipline from them, but feeds
them we'll and makes them sleep. Since
it costs the government $50, 900 to put an
AVIATOR, not tlieT, on the fighting front,
you can imagine that it has an invest
ment of some magnitude before it draws
very much interest. Multiply the figure
by the number of aviators you think it
will take to whip the Kaiser and his
gang and you will see what will happen
to the $640, 100000 congress has app:o-
priated for aviation"
There are some other matters of per
sonal character touched in the letter,
but through it all runs vein of optim-
ism and faith in the success of Ameri-
can arms and confidence in himself
that is pleasing to the friends of the
writer. Like all of the other American
boys who have been taken for service in
the war, Rufus is anxious to see actual
fighting, and hopes that it will not be
long before be, with others of the cadet
flying squadron, of which he is mem
Der, will be seeing active work. over the
battle fields of Europe. He closes his
letter by sending his regards to all of his
Deadwood and Black Hills friends, and
with the assurance that his work is to
his liking, his treatment and surround
ings of the best.

Robert Nelson, of linton, was Spear
fish visitor Friday, having just received
word from the government patent Office
that his application for patent on his
new device described as a geld concen-
traitor had been granted. He also had a
model of his invention, and to one who
has even superficial understanding of
placer gold diggings it is manifest that
he has precisely the sort of machine for
the placer diggings in this or any other
part of the world. He has given the APP
pliance a practical demonstration and
has the fine gold and -four gold to show
what it will perform. Heretofore he has
been careful about displaying this
model, but now that his application for
patent has been granted, there is no
more need for secrecy. Mr.. Nelson has
been prospector and placer miner for
years, and understands precisely What
the miner has to contend with in the
search for fine gold This machine has
solved practically all the miners trou-
bles, and when once placed on the
market will revolutionize the business.

we are heating the outside as well as the
inside. To make the room cooler you
should use the damper and drafts of the
stove which are made for that purpose.
You should keep your room at certain
temperature and not any higher. 1t is
necessary to heat only the most import
ant rooms of the house. You should not
fill your stoves with too much coal be-
cause you are using more coal than
necessary.
Coal can be dampened and making it
burn longer and give more heat. Clink-
ers can also be used for burning. Many
theatres and buildings of amusements
can be closed as they are needed at all.
Little chips and small pieces of wood
are left lying around on the ground and
are wasted that can be burned.
At least two or three shoveis of coal
can be saved daily by using smaller
buckets and not filling them to full. The
only way to help our country have more
coal is to save it.
