The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1918-10-04
From Edward Atchison

Dear Father: Just got back from
a two-day trip with the band We
were at famous health resort
over in the mountains not far from
here. We sure had a swell time
and saw some beautiful scenery.
Will send you picture of the band
which was taken there in front of
the Casino or theatre.
/ Inever saw people SO crazy about
music. They called the matinee off
to listen to us play. Then at night
the crowd stayed until after the
show to listen to some more.
We ate at the Grand Hotel de
Paris-some class, too, believe me.
Our meals were served in courses.
| hear the U. S. Government will
take the hotels over for hospitals
before long, as they did the swell
hotels about six miles from where
we are now.
There were lots of rich people at
the concert from Paris and other
places. They seem to be teaching
their children English as I talked
with several and they used very
correct English.
We played for Red Cross drive
for the Belgian refugees. They
sure took in the coin because they
charged big prices. A piece of
cake and a drink were six Francs,
or about 81. 10 at the present rate Of
exchange.
1t would make snake dizzy to
follow the railroad track from here
to the place we played. Hope we
get more trips like that as one gets
to see so much of the country. AL
so it gives one broader idea of the
different classes Of people.
l haven't fallen in love with any
of these French girls yet and don't
expect to, but l sure wish l could
speak French. Wish you would
have Isabelle get me good French
grammer and send it over.
Hope you and the kiddies are fine
and dandy. / am getting along
scrumptously myself. Tell every.
body hello for me.
With love to all. Edward

Mr.. and Mrs. Ware Honored

Mr.. and Mrs. N. E. Ware were
agreeably surprized at their home
on Big Bear ridge Sunday after
noon. when about fifty of their
friends and neighbors gathered to
spend congenial, social good time
with them. Music and singing
were greatly enjoyed. In the cool
of the evening, a picnic dinner
was spread under the trees on the
lawn, and everyone did justice to
the various and many delicious
things prepared by the guests.
After the last course Mr.. and Mrs.
Ware were presented with a nice
purse of money, expressing the
good fellowship and good will of
their many friends, as well as to
show their appreciation of their
faithful services in church, literary
social and community work. They
were also remembered by some of
the boys who are serving their
country lover there.
The following day was their Oath
wedding anniversary. Their friends
departed wishing them many more
such happy years, and stating that
the enjoyable day would long be
remembered by all present. "A

Broom Factory at Juliaetta

Nelson Buckallew of Juliaetta is
making brooms in Juliaetta from
quantity of broom corn raised by
residents of Juliaetta. There is
not sufficient raw material to make
the industry very extensive one
this season but it is a good indica-
tion that the Potlatch bench farms
are very favorbly situated to raise
splendid crops of broom corn, as the
quality of the Juliaetta product is
very fine.

Business Change

Willim Taylor sold his interest in
the blacksmith business here to
Frank Crocker. Mr.. Crocker ex
poets to handle the business alone
hereafter as the increased cost of
material used in his work has cut
down the profits to a large extent.
Increased prices for blacksmith
work have necessarily been forced
to follow, but these prices have not
kept pace with the increasing cost
of iron and steel. Mr.. Taylor has
not yet decided what he will do in
the future but expects to spend the
winter here at least.

Won HINTZE INSISTS
Says Allies Imprison Critical
Writers.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 6.-"Intellectual
weapons play in this war as influential
and important role as the battlefield
and diplomacy" said Admiral Won
Hintze. the German Foreign Minister
In a speech in Vienna IN which he was
emphasizing the Importance Of every
thing being done to bring about an
honorable peace. The speech was de-
lvered at n reception OF members of the
Diplomatic Corps and the journalists
Complimentins the press for worthily
buoying the spirits of the people Admiral
Won Hintze said:
This task Is not always a light one,
especially when the news does not tell
Of triumphs and laurels, when we often
have to renounce these and for stratest-
cal reasons undertake a tactical with
drawal OF troops.
One knows from the experience of
this war how short the duration Of such
fluctuations are-for example, Galicia
and East Prussia. But they teach us
that we have no reason TO lose hope
When one wants to pluck roses one also
must expect TO be pricked by thorns
Just as peace came IN the east IL will
come in the west. Though perhaps 1t
will take some time we need not be dis
couraged by the enemy's cries of victory.
Among our enemies the press works un-
der State control. and the newspaper
writer falling to represent TIE Govern
ment view is simply sent to prison.
We in Germany and Austria Hun
gary. OF the other hand, stick TO free
press. Even under wars compulsion
we do not want TO shackle public opln-
ion. Only in that way does politics
promise success. That is my profound
conviction"
In conclusion Admiral Won Uintze said
he had been deeply affected during his
conference with Emperor Karl and by
the Emperor's gracious reception. lie

the Hungarian statesmen the
terms OF the Teutonic alliance, and all
the discussions were Inspired by the

The document says:

the working up of instruments and mo-

The supply OF material for the front has
become essentially dependent upon the

how the harvest was overestimated in
the first years OF the war, how German
hopes were dashed on promised supplies
from Russia and the Ukraine and on the
U-boat war and how inventions of all
sorts were trumpeted forth"
The Gazette quotes from a Wolf hu-

OF the enormous supplies OF clothing

in rubber and copper as sufficient to
