Sutherland, Standish Smith, Will. Vir-
tue, Henry Irwin and couple of boys
from Hill City. Standish Smith is driv-
ing truck, Ted Sutherland team, also
Will. Virtue and Henry Irwin. They
were among the first of the A. +. f.
forces to reach France, the 10th regi-
ment being the first forestry reg giment to
come across the pond.
A week or so ago we moved into squad
tents, tearing down the large ones.
These squad tents are l6 feet square,
just large enough for seven hunks and
have room enough for small table and
stove. There are floors in these tents so
that it is much better than being in the
large tent. Later these tents will be
boarded up six feet on each side, and
then will be real roomy and comfort
able. You see we are just getting
Strengthened out and the camp is begin
ming to look like q regular army camp.
These squad tents are put up in two
straight rows on each side of wide com.
pany street. We also have a mess hall
and kitchen now built at the lower end
of the company street, an Office building
at the other end, supply house at one
side and barn some distance away.
Soon we shall have Y. NJ. &. A. hut.
They call them portable huts. They are
made in sections and bolted together
when put up The sides and roof are in
sections about six feet square, are a lay
er of half inch boards covered with a
heavy roofing Each of the camps will
have one of these Y. M. c. A. buts to
serve as a reading room and place for
entertainments OF any kind that might
come along. When the mill is ready to
run and we have the hut up we shall
celebrate the occasions by having a big
feed and little Iocal talent entertain
ment, boxing, singing, etc.
There is not the best class of French
in this part of France. We are quite
near the Spanish border and the people
are mixed, being about as many Span
iards as French. The language spoken
is a mixture O the two. I haven't
learned but verg little French as yet,
am not around the people enough to get
familiar with their tongue.
Well am going to bring this to a real
abrupt end and get it started on its long
Journey. Shall write again soon and
tell you everything that l have here
omitted.
Hoping that you are all well and
happy, with love to all.

LOCAL BOARD NEWS
AND COMMENT.

The Proclamation of the President has
made the Path Of August the date for
registration of those who have attained
the age of q since June 5th, 1918. There
will not be many in the County so the
registration will be held at the Local
Board room at Custer.
A call has been made upon the State
for l50 men to be taken from Class /,
Div. A, but In special or limited service
only. Will Mullenbrink has been Sc
lected and will be entrained about the
30th of August for Camp Dodge, Iowa.
The date of entrainment for the quota
of seven men for August has been re-
ceived and is August 29th The men
are to report at 900 a. N. This may
seem an early hour but in several in
stances in the past late train or an
automobile breakdown has delayed the
registrant to that extent that only chance
prevented delinquency charges. 1t must
be bourne in mind that once called the
man is under military orders TO report
at the time set. Not to do so or to miss
the train puts the man under Delin-
quency charges and at the least puts a
mark against him that may follow him
and may be handicap to advancement.
In every QUESTIONABLE there is on
Page under 'LChange of Status" an item
usually passed over by the Registrant
that is important. 1t is here ordered
that any change occurring in tue rela-
tionship of the man that affects his
status shall within five days be reported
TO his Local Board. For failure to so
report there is penalty attached to this
and also may lose him valuable privi-
leges. These changes in his status may
result in reclassifying him and making
him liable for military service or it may
give him exemption from liability, but
in either case he must report the fact
All enlistments are closed for the time
being and may not be reopened for some
time and possibly may be discontinued
altogether. With the new age limit Of
from IS to 40 all possible volunteers will
be registered and can be directed into
that branch Of service for which their
registration classifes them and there
may be no need for volunteer enlist
ments.
Do not forget that all delayed allot-
ments can be traced through the Home
Service Department of your Local Red
Cross Chapter, and also any information
concerning Aliotments, Insurance and
Compensation, or concerning soldier
whose relatives are unable to locate,
and many other forms of service are
open to all who need help through the
Home Service Department. They are
to serve if you call upon them. They
will need to know the soldiers name,
where be was sent if possible and the
Company and Regiment to which he
was attached. The more complete the
information the more quickly the case
can be attended.

LETTER FROM w. ID. VEsTAL.
SOMEWHERE IN THE South,

SOMEWHERE IN THE South,
August 10th, 1918.
EDITOR CUSTER CHRONICLE,
Custer, South Dakota.
To my friends in the Black Hills | will
say | have travelled almost 1000 miles
and endured hot winds and broiling sun
to ll5 degrees. | have been gathering
data about crops and crop conditions.
South Dakota has the best Nebraska
had half of wheat crop but corn in cas-
tern half of state is beyond redemption.
In western half where they have irriga
ton they are well fixed but outside of
that they have very little. Colorado has
nothing only where irrigated. New
Mexico has nothing only in irrigated
district. Texas is burned up and stock
of all kinds dieing for want of water
There are few districts where they will
get some cotton. Oklahoma got ten
bushels of wheat, will have one fourth
crop of cotton and some kaffir corn.
Kansas had good wheat but corn is dry
enough to burn. Mercury 100 and Y
You can't rest night or day on account
of excessive heat and more so for people
from the North. If | could only have a
few hours of rest in the Black Hills un.
der pine tree and drink of water out
of good cool spring would be satisfied
If | missed all chances of getting to an
orthodox Heaven What | am trying
to get at is this, viz: Any ranchman in
the Hills who is dissatisfied and wants
to go to better place most assuredly
has something wrong with his head and
should have it fixed at once before he
makes bad break and disposes of his
holdings
Well now Mr.. Editor told you when
l left that President Wilson had called
me to Washington to consult me about
the war and wanted to appoint me as a
committee to go and catch Kaiser Bill
Well when | got there he had appointed
another man and / am a private citizen
and shall soon return TO the most de-
lightful country on earth and hope to be
of some service to the citizens of the
Ideal Palladium.

SERIES OF
ACCIDENTS
Richard Sutton Seriously Injured in a
Runaway

Two men and one woman suffered
severe injuries in a series of three
accidents the past week. The first
victim was John Sawchuck, who hac
just purchased a new auto and was
taking his first trip. At the foot OF
Freezeout hill he attempted to pass
another car and went into a ditch. The
car turned turtle and Mr.. Sawchuck
sustained two broken ribs and several
cuts and bruises. He was travelling
about 35 miles an hour when the ac-
cident occurred.
The next victim was Mrs. Davidson,
a daughter of c. A. Whitman. With
her husband she was coming from
Boise to spend Sunday with her par
ents. On the way over Freezeout hill
she got out of the car to pick some
wild flowers. AS she stepped from
the running board she fell backwards,
striking on her head and cutting a
long cash in the back of her skull.
Richard Sutton was the third vic
tim. He is in a serious condition to-
day and his friends are alarmed He
was injured in runaway, while en-
gagged in hauling gravel from the
river to the Earl Fruit company's
warehouse. He dropped one of the
lines near the river bridge and the
team ran away. While crossing the
bridge Mr.. Sutton was thrown out of
the wagon and the wheels passed over
him. Three ribs were broken and it
is feared he sustained internal injur-
les.

I saw a man planting spuds and in a
garden patch l saw some strawberry
vines in bloom.
1t seems strange to think that at

nerve to write me that you are having
spring chicken, strawberry shortcake,
ice cream and other luxuries that are
not on Uncle Sans bill of fare. But

Viola Anderson

Viola, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles L. Anderson, died Saturday,
aged 16 years and months. She was
born in Emmett and had spent her
entire life here. She was a member
of the Junior class in High school, and
was favorite with both her teachers
and schoolmates. Besides her parents,
she is survived by three brothers and
three sisters. Funeral services were
held Monday morning at the Metho-
dist church, conducted by Rev. F. E.
Finley, and were attended by the en-
tire Junior class of the High school
and the young ladies' Sunday school
class of the Methodist church of which
she was an active member and worker,
besides many friends. Burial was in
the Riverview cemetery.

First Game of the Season

Emmett's ball players were defeated
by a Wilder team at Wilder Sunday
by a score of II to 6. 1t was the
first game of the season. Laurel
Wells started for Emmett and pitched
a good game until Catcher Coffey split
his hand open in stopping foul tip.
Hosely took Coffey's place and Bliss
succeeded Wells. Bliss did fine work.
Cresswell played brilliant game at
third. The fielding was ragged, ow-
ing to lack of practice. Wells struck
out 7 men and Bliss 5. Al Smith is
manager of the team and promises
fast bunch when he gets them trained.

The Payette Lake Star says: For
some time past we have heard rumors
to the effect that Mccall would enter
the race for the permanent seat OF
government of Valley county, which
matter is to be decided at the polls
next November. Unlike some rumors,
this seems to have some foundation
in fact, and the Star has been asked
to announce that a mass meeting OF
our people is called to meet on Satur-
day evening, May 25, at Pages opera
house, to inaugurate proceedings pre-
paratory to shying. our castor into the
ring. Every friend of Mccall is in
vited to this meeting, and all who can
attend are urged to do So"

A letter from Talbot Jennings, son
of the late Rev. Jennings, in the Nam
pa Leader-Herald gives an idea of
the lofty patriotism and calmness with
which the boys 'over there are fac
ing the future. This extract is well
worth reading:

troops are generally engaged that
people at home are on high tension.
| hope you won't worry. Just have
faith that everything will be all right.
1t will be, whether | go through or
go West. Pm not afraid. There may
be moments of panic-everybody goes
through them, when sight of naked
gray death flashes across their sight
but | trust that only myself will
know when those moments come-and
go. Just now, Pm enjoying the
vagrant life in this new old world,
wonderful to me in the beauty of
springtime, and if tomorrow or a day
three months from now brings an end
to all of it for me, then perhaps-I may
90 on, somewhere, making better
start in the new country than l had
done in the old. These-ar great days
to live in and Pm glad to have
small share in great events.

Another Change Made

members of the local board, went to

claim for exemption for agricultural
reasons of Harry Bean. They found

Logan, an Emmett High school gradu-
ate, now a resident of Umatilla, Ore,
will be sent in Beams place, at his
own request. Mr.. Logan's name on
the registration list is far down the
line, but he has been besieging the
board for sometime to advance his
name and send him. His importun-
tiles were so persistent that the board
decided to grant his request and make
him happy. "Bill" is made of good
stuff and his Emmett friends are
proud of him.

E. A. Reils, teacher in the high
school, requests The Index to correct
the statement in last weeks issue say
ing that he had resigned. He says
it is true the board had requested his
resignation, but that he has refused
to accede to the request and will de-
mand his salary up to the close of
the school year. The school board,
however, is not carrying him on the
pay roll.

GUILTY OF
DISLOYALTY
Dan Guy Turned Over to U. S. for
Seditious Utterances

Dan Guy, foreman of the black.
smith shop at the sawmill, was last
evening called before the Council OF
Defense and after a thorough investi-
cation, found guilty of disloyal con-
duct and seditious utterances and
turned over to the U. S. marshal at
Boise.
Guy is French-Canadian by birth.
He has been in the employ of the Boise
Payette Lumber company since the
sawmill started operations. He is a
very competent workman. A few days
ago, when solicited for subscription
to the Red Cross, he cursed the or
ganization and expressed wish that
the Huns would exterminate the
American army. Mill employees were
with difficulty prevented from met
ing out swift punishment to the man,
but were persuaded to wait until af-
ter an investigation by the Council
of Defense. A large crowd hung
around the meeting place of the coun-
ell last evening until it was learned
GUY had been turned over to govern
ment authorities, and even then quite
number planned to take the man
from Sheriff Nichols while being taken
to Boise last night But the sheriff
eluded his pursuers and landed his
prisoner safely in Boise.
The mill employees are thoroughly
aroused and will tolerate no disloyal-
ty in their midst.

When VIII the War End 4?

E. K. Hayes, who attended the state
conference of the Council of Defense,
brought back this story as told by one
of the speakers: A Frenchman was
asked, When will the war end. He
replied: "When the war started the
French prepared for years contest.
When the English came they leased
land for war purposes for two years.
When the Americans entered, they
bought the landl"
