Leonard B. Fowler, the Democrat
ic candidate for Attorney-G General, is
a lawyer of long and wide experience,
a former Deputy General
of this State and a citizen who holds
the friendship and respect of all who
he encounters. He was the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress sever
al years back and while not elected,
lent great strength to the campaign
by his dignifed and ~forceful presen-
tation of the issues. He has been
successful in every branch of the
law. and in a campaign where politi-
cal issues do not enter, except by
reason of the responsible part the
Attorney-G General takes in State af-
fairs as a member of the Board of
Examiners and the Prison Board, he
will find energetic support from all
classes who make combined ability
and experience the test.-Political

Charles R. Evans
To Support Wilson

Charles Robley Evans. Democratic
candidate for Representative in Con-
gress, is thoroughly known to every
voter in the State. He is thorough
ly in accord with the President in all
measures affecting the var and does
not profess to be endowed with such
superior wisdom as to dictate to the
Commarder-in-Chief while the big
fight for universal Democracy is rag
ing. He is a good level-headed bust
ness man, successful and public
spirited and he has from his own
knowledge of conditions in Nevada,
worked out a line of effort for the
encouragement of agriculture, min
ing and manufacturing in the State
which he may be depended on to ad-
vance just as fast as the Nations
chief business will permit.
Contrary to the general belief, a
lawyer and debater is not essential
to Congress. The membership is
Asa body so large that its work is
done in committees and the decisions
r controlled on domestic issues at
least. by the party in power. De-
bates while spectacular, do not affect
the result. The most able member
of a minority party in Congress is
practically powerless.
Mr.. Evans hopes to be with the
majority in power and to make part
of that majority that shall support
the President instead of impede him
by t~echnicalities and delays

EDITOR HAS
NEW DAUGHTER

| A new daughter arrived at the
homo of the Editor last Sunday eve.
ming. She came just after the folks
had all gone to bed and We didn't
see her until the next morning. She
is not like most girls when they
half the night. She is pretty good
about that. OF course she attracts
considerable attention like most girls
when they first come, but the worst
of it is we don't believe she in
tends to stay with US very long,
and when she leaves she will take
another member of the family with
her. You see this little affair came
about by our son Leo, who began to
feel that the cd hive was not big
enough for him and took a notion
to swarm, and of course to have
littllo hive of his own, must have a
queen. So on last Saturday afternoon
at p. m. in the presence Of about
twenty-five invited guests at the
homo of the BRIDES parents in Boise
occurred the marriage of Leo K.
Ballenger to Miss Janet Naoma
Hayes, Rev. Cox of Boise officiating.
Mrs. Will Wells and daughter Fern,
mother and sister of the groom were
tn only out of town guests.
The groom was born in Payette
where he has lived all his life and
of course it is quite natural that
we should say he is bright, ener-
getic, honest and industrious young
man, and We believe he is worthy
of the prize he has captured. The
bride We have no hesitancy in say
ing, she is simply alright, and let
that stand for all it emplies. She is
a welcome guest into her new rela-
ton with the Editors family, and
it is our sincere hope and desire
that the solemn vows may be kept
faithful, and their path of life
smooth to the end.

MILLING VALUE OF
WHEAT IMPROVED.

The management of The Payette
Mills, in commenting on the loca
wheats states that within the pas
two years there has been a vast i'm
provement in the milling value from
that formerly raised.
More hard wheat is being raised ;
and even the white wheats, by earll-
ier cutting and better care are i'm
proved.
The result of all this is that the
local Flours are finding better and
broader demand.
This stronger Flour, while requir
ing much more kneading in making
bread, is more economical to use
and will make more pounds of bread
per sack than the softer flour.

NOTE OF THANKS,

1t is great privilege, and il
gives one sincere joy, to be per
mitted to look into the hearts OF
our acquaintances or friends, at q
time which emphasizes the kindred
ness OF human sorrow, for the al
deviation of which the best in man
kind has always been awakened, and
We wish to thank our good friends
and neighbors for their manifold ex
rressions of helpfulness and good
will, during the passing of our be-
loved mother, Friedericke Liebig.

When E. C. S. Brainard answered d

he found himself connected with his
son, Lawrence at Berkeley, Calf,
and for several minutes Mr. and
Mrs. Brainard visited with their two
sons Lawrence and Scott, also Bes-
sic and others in the party, over a
distance of two thousand miles. Law
renee is AN officer in Co. E All
Battalion Telegraph Co. which Bat
tallion is made up of Telephone men,
and as a present to the members
of the Company each member was
allowed the privilege of talking over
the line at any point free of charge
and without time limit, which was
treat at both ends Of the line. A
letter has been received since which
stated that for a few moments after
the conversation silence prevailed
with tear stained eyes, and we
imagine about the same took place
at the Brainard home. What a fine
thing it would have been if all our
boys could have enjoyed a few mo-
ments talk with the home folks.

Dear Sir:
| enclose report ON the distribu'
ton of the Thanksgiving Fund for
the boys. 1t was very apparent that
the donors all hoped that their
brothers and friends might be help
I'd to a real Thanksgiving. AS Com :
rany | now does not represent al
thu boys from Payette County it
was decided not to put the money
in the Company Fund but hunt up
the boys where ever they might be-
and divide the spoil.
A Payroll was prepared and it was
quietly announced that any boy from
Payette County who could sign his
name would receive a Thanksgiving
present. In a short time the news
spread from 146th NJ. G. In, Com
pany A, through 146th Field Artillery,
161st Field Hospital, 147th NJ. G.
Bn.. and the Field Bakery Company,
where the last man, Elldredge was
found; Darnell of the Aviation Sec
ton was not located Three dollars
was given to each man and the bal
ance placed in the Hospital Fund of
the Battalion, which is under the
charge of Lieutenant J. e. Crouch.
The boys all eagerly scanned the
list of donors and felt that they had
a little visit back home. Every man
appeared in person to receive his
present and l can assure You that
everyone Hooked fine.
From the many things that are be-
ing done for the soldiers we know
that the folks at home are with us.
On behalf of the boys / wish to
thank ALL those who have shown by
their kindness that they are think
ing of their soldiers.
Sincerely yours

Why didn't l wait for the banquet
Why didn't wait to be cheered,
For the drafted men get the credit
While l only volunteered.
No one gave me banquet,
No one spoke a kind word,
The grind of the wheels of the en-

Then to the camp l was hustled
To be trained for the next half

And then in the shuttle forgotten
was only a volunteer.
And maybe some day in the future
When my little boy sits ON my

And asks what I did in the conflict,
And his little eyes Hook up to me
l will have to look back as am

To the eyes that so trustingly peer,
And tell him l missed being drafted
