MEN COMING 21 SINCE JUNE S
1917, TO REGISTER FOR DRAFT

Young men who have reached 21
years of age since June 5, 1917, will
be required to register for the draft
and take their places in the line of
registrants for military service. The
adjutant general of Idaho and the
selective draft boards of the various
counties are trying to work out a
plan to have these men registered
with as little trouble as possible. The
suggestion has been made that the
men register at their local postoffices
and that every postmaster be made a
registration. officer. This seems to
be the simplest and most expedient
way of handling the registration and
would be the least expensive. 1t is
supposed the men will be called upon
to register about June 5. Latah coun-
ty will probably have 125 to $50 such
young men who have reached their
majority since the registration period
last year.

UNIVERSITY HAS A FINE
RELIEF MAP OF THE STATE

The University of Idaho has just
received from Washington a hand
some relief map of the state, the
work of Prof. D. G. Livingston, head
of the department of geology. The
map is said to be the finest work of
it's kind ever made of this state and
one can gain more information about
the topography of the state in five
minutes by looking at and studying
this map, than by studying geography
for weeks. Professor Livingston Is
receiving many compliments on the
excellence of the work

Only Local Fighting Friday

The Associated Press resume of the
fighting Friday shows that only
local battles occurred and that in none
of these were the Germans success
full. The report, as sent from AS
sociated Press headquarters, follows:
The military forces were engaged
only in local fighting Friday in the
Ypres and Somme sectors. The
French made notable advance at
Grivesnes, where they took the park
of the town, which had been in Ger
man hands for three weeks.
Along the front to the north there
were scattering engagements, notably
at Aveluy wood, north of Albert,
where the contending armies are
striving for strategic ground. There
were also small operations in the
KENNEL hill front, southwest of
Ypres.
Pope Benedict has set aside June
20 as day to be observed in the
Catholic churches of the world as a
day of prayer that peace may be re-
stored to the world.
Gen. Haig's Report
LONDON, May 10-There was To-

BEN DIES OF BROKEN
HEART WHEN HIS HOUR
OF GROWING is CHANGED

SAN FRANCISCO. May 7.-ole Jor.
gensen had a rooster named Ben. Now
he is no more. He is a victim OF the
change of time law.
Ole recently moved to this city
from Denver. Ben had been trained
to crow at S o'clock in the morning,
mountain time. and wake Ole.
When Ole moved here Ben contin.
ued to crow at o'clock, but It was 4
o'clock, Pacific time. In an effort to
break Ben of his Denver habits Ole
made a small hood and put it over the
ROSTERS eyes. Every morning at 5
o'clock Ole got up and, removing the
hood. babe him crow five times. This
process was repeated until Ben was
taught to crow at 5 o'clock, Pacific
time.
The first day the new law went
into effect Ben was awakened an hour
earlier by the o'clock whistle. 1t
was pitch dark. The shock is
thought to have killed him.

the desk sergeant refused to give up
the wealth Cohen went into Chancery
court and secured a writ of replevin.
Armed with the writ Cohen secured
the wealth. He sued out another writ
"a writ of habeas corpus-and the
court freed the negroes. A little later
officers from Hot Springs came to get
the negroes and the money. The
desk sergeant showed them the writ
OF habeas corpus instead OF the pris-
oners and the receipts of the money
and jewels. The Hot Springs officers
returned to Hot Springs vowing 1t
was little hotter in Memphis. Cohen
claims the money and Jewels as part
OF his fee" for defending the negroes.
