An Elk River Boy Dies in France.

The many friends Of Hon. Andrew
Davis Of Elk River express much sym
pathy for him and his family over the
death of his son, Paul, in France. An
other son of, Mr.. Davis is also in the
service, and Mr.. Davis, himself, has
been very active in patriotic work. To
the courtesy Of the Star-News we are
indebted for the following: I;
Again the sting Of war is felt at
Elk River, a message having been re-
ceived Sunday afternoon that Paul c..
Davis was dead in France, the first
local soldier to give up his life on for
eign soil during the great war. Paul's
death occurred on May 9Th, and was
caused by pneumonia, which dread
disease has taken away, so many Of
the young men in the army.
Paul Davis was born January 18th,
1898, at Elk River, and was the son Of
Hon. Andrew Davis. He spent his
boyhood here and attended the local
schools, graduating from the high
school in 1911. He spent one year at
the Minnesota University and then be-
came engaged in business here with
his father as manager of the grocery
department at the Davis Bros. store.
During the balance of the time until
his enlistment he was engaged in this
work and had been a factor in the
rapid growth of the business.
Paul enlisted in the army December
9th, 1917, joining the Twentieth Engi-
neer regiment. He was sent to a
camp near Washington and was as
signed to Company B, Fifth Battalion.
After short period of training he
was sent overseas and landed in
France February 18th, only two
months after his enlistment. His last
letter home was received last week,
but was dated about three weeks pre-
vious. At that time he was in hos
pital for dental trouble, but otherwise
was in good health.
At Elk River, Paul was one Of the
most popular young men of the COM
munity. He was the prime mover in
the organization of the Elk River
Concert band a few years ago and
was it's active manager up to the time
he joined the service. It was due to
his untiring efforts largely that the
organization attained success Z and
won reputation as one Of the best
small town bands in the state.
Paul is survived by his father and
two brothers, Donald and Kenneth, the
latter also in the country's service,
having enlisted in an engineer regi-
ment a few weeks ago. The sympathy
Of all the community is extended to
the bereaved father and brothers.
Paul, though he did not die amid the
horror and strife Of the battlefield,
has just as truly given his life to his
country in the noble cause of Liberty.

Two Indians Go Forth.

Frank Murphy, the half-breed who
suddenly discovered that he was not Fl
years Of age, and who dug up a grand
mother as one of his dependents, re-
sponded to an order from Secretary
Doane Of the local war department and
showed up at the court house on Mon
day morning. On Tuesday he and John
Shingobe, another Indian registrant,
supplied with five dollars apiece, COM
fort kits and New Testaments, left for
Columbus barracks, Columbus, Ohio.
Reports from the battlefront in
France say that the Canadian Indians
over there make excellent scouts. They
go forth noiselessly into No Mans
Land and, without firing a shot, round
up the Boche outposts and make pris-
oners of them. Canadian soldiers back
from the front tell us that the blond
soldiers of the kaiser would at any
time rather tackle the devil than a
North American Indian. That MUIR
ply and Shingobe Of the Mile Laos
Chippewa tribe will make good pussy
footers when they get to the front
goes without saying. ;

MRS. AVER OF MOSCOW RE-
CEIVES LETTER FROM PAR
ENT'S ASSOCIATION

Mrs. L. H. Aver of Moscow, whose
son Albert Jefferson Aver was severely
wounded, is in receipt of the following
letter which will be encouraging to al
parents whose sons are at the front.
Mrs. L. H. Aver is having this letter
published for the benefit of the soldiers
mothers who have ben called on to make
the greatest sacrifice of all; that they
should know that the faithful Red Cross
is taking good care of their boys. 1t

"Mrs. L. H. Aver,
Moscow, Idaho,
Dear Madam:
81 am glad to be able to tell you that
/ know and have met many times since
he arrived in France, your son Albert
Jefferson Aver. He had gone to the
front among the first detachment that
left the old 3rd Oregon when it became
replacement. | am very sorry to learn
through your letter that he had received
three wounds, and rejoice with you in
knowing that he is recovering.
81 know nothing about Private Haw-
ley, and without doubt Private Aver will
not know anything about him until after
he gets out of the hospital, which | take
from the number of wounds he received,
will take some time One thing I wish to
assure you is that in France wounded
soldier gets better care in any one of
the American hospitals, or any hospitals
in France, than he would if he were at
home. The doctors furnished by the
government and the Red Cross are only
the best and the patients treatment while
recovering in the hospital is the best that
human aid can give | might add in
passing, that the boy having received
three wounds, will be entitled to wear
hereafter on the right sleeve of his coat
three gold stripes, indicating the num-
Der of times he was wounded. I'm
doubtedly, from his statement in his let
ter to you, in the parlance of the soldiers,
he got nicked right off the jump. That
is why he is hazy about the events which
followed
Every American mother, | am sure,
is proud to be able to say I have son
in France and that same boy is proud
to be fighting for France, and all wounds
received there are honorable wounds, for
there was never an army IN the world,
a more splendid and gallant set of sol
diers, that went to France, than those

At the same time, cable dispatches an

moved among the soldiers, handing out
chocolates and cigarettes. On land and
in the air these fearless workers kept
pace with the American fighters moving
forward in the first offensive exclusively
executed by our troops
The airp1ane service for distributing
cigarettes to the soldiers, while the bat
tie was in progress, was utilized as the
ordinary foot and motor methods of
reaching the men in the front lines were
unavailable. It was established by Mar
tin V. Merle of San Francisco, a K of

American airplane unit. After the fight
soldiers related how pleasantly surprised
they had been when cigarettes dropped

eating twice as much bacon, proper
tionately to beef, as they formerly
did.
Even so, the beef shipments have
increased amazingly on account of
the war, exports of fresh beef for
the single month of July, 1918 (the
latest month for which figures are
available) having exceeded fresh beef
exports for the entire year 1914 by
five times. The figures are: July,
1918, 32,056,O16 pounds; year 1914,
1884, ,404 pounds.
On all meat sent to allied countries
the price has been set by government
al agencies, and the food administra-
tion has limited the profits to two and
one-half cents per dollar of sales.
This figure, however, is not guaran-
teed to the packers. In fact, the in
dications today are that the profits
for the year 1918 will be below that
