Big Wheat Yield.

Chas. Smith, who is threshing on
Driscoll ridge, reports that J. w.
Pence received the largest yield of
anyone whom he has threshed for this
season. Mr.. Pence received an av-
erage of 33 bushels per acre from his
fall wheat which is very good con-
sidering the drouth This is further
evidence that crop failure is i'm
possible in these parts.-Troy News.
Harvest Work Near Kendrick
The weather during the past week
has been ideal for harvest. Thresh-
ing is progressing in splendid man
ner and so far as can be ascertained
no great shortage of labor is being
experienced in this locality. Farmers
are trading work among themselves
and are making every hour count.
Threshing started earlier on Potlatch
ridge than usual as there is large
amount of winter whsat there. Very
little smut is reported in this section
although there are a few fields that
have considerable smutty wheat in
them. No big yields have as yet been

SAL AT|ON ARMY
ASKS FOR $500
LATAH COUNTY PEOPLE EX-
PECTED TO RAISE THAT
SUM FOR WAR WORK

Because of the unlimited publicity
given them and because of the num-
erous appeals for support made on
their behalf, the American public is
already familiar with the splendid war
work now being done by the Y. M. C.
A. and the Knights of Columbus.
There is another organization which
is doing just as great service for
the soldiers at the front and which
stands equally we'll with the national
and state executives and with military
officials. That organization is the Sal
walton Army. Little has been told
about it's remarkable war work in the
trenches and of the terrible risks their
workers undergo when they render
their services to the men going into
action or coming out of it.
Unlike the other organizations in
France that are doing welfare work
the Salvation Army's territory is not
prescribed by general orders from
headquarters. Salvation Army work
ers on account Of the extreme mo-
bility and their independence Of bases
are given care blanche to do trench
work wherever they can find loca-
ton. There is no question of duplica-
ton of effort. For since the fighting
has been so fierce and the battles are
numerous and bloody there is an ex-
IRENE scarcity of equipped workers,
and there are not nearly enough for |
the tasks at hand, in all the organiza-
lions combined.
The Salvation Army has secured
from the National Council of Defense
and from all the state councils of
defense, permission to conduct a drive
for raising a fund with which to carry
on it's valuable work The Latah
county council of defense has set
aside August 25th as the date on
which the drive shall begin. The quota
to be raised by Latah county is $4,000 /
and the fund has the same endorse
ment as any other war work hereto
fore undertaken in any drive. The
residents of Latah county will be mott
fled of the amount of their pro rata
share in this fund and will be ex-
pected to pay it as they did their pre-
vious assessments.

FORMER COMMISSIONERS NOM
NATION TO SUCCEED A. S.
LYONS is FILED

My nomination having been filed as
county commissioner for the SECOND
district, and having accepted said
nomination, / wish to make public
my announcement as a candidate in
the primaries for said office, on the
republican ticket, and solicit the sup
port of the republican voters at the
primary election on September 8.
In making the decision to enter the
race for this nomination, I have been
prompted by the assurance that the
present incumbent, Mr.. Lyon, was not
going to enter the race, and from~th
fact that my former six years service
in this work has especially qualified
me for the duties of this office, and
from the further fact that enjoy the
commissioners work, and to be frank
with the voters of the county, I want
the office and work.
If nominated and elected to this
important office, promise the tax
payers of the county a square deal,
and that the smallest property owner
of the county will have the same con-
sideration as the larger land owner
and taxpayer.
Thanking you in advance, with kind
personal regards, remain
Very truly yours,

KILLING OF BRO|LEns
IS PERMITTED NOW

Methodist ministers, ct al, whose
appetites lean strongly toward fried
chicken will char with interest that
ruling by the Georgia food admins
tration Saturday will permit the kill
ing of 'broilers" weighing not more
than two pounds.
The ruling was an amendment to
recent order prohibiting the slaughter
or sale of hens or pullets. The rule,
however, continues strictly in force
as applied to hens or pullets weigh
ing more than two pounds.
The administration also removed the
restriction against the use of lamb
or mutton on meatless Tuesday ana
for meatless meals of each day This
ruling will be in effect at once and
Until April 10, The ''broiler" rule also
is effective Immediately.
These rulings, the administration
states, will serve to narrow the scope
of the mat substitutes. for those days
and meals on which the use of meat
is prohibited, and at the same time
eliminate the possibility of fish be-
coming unpopular bectuse of its too
frequent use.

 Episode 2-"The Story of Ybarra."

look at the picture, and, thanking tn, young man, left the office.
 Again in the street he sought the nearest telephone booth and called the office.
 "Gwyn leaves for the West to- night on the Limited" he told his con- freres over the wire. "I shall beT on the same train. I shall keep in touch with you while am gone, and, in the meantime, you attend to any other matters that may come up dur ing my absence. As soon as I am able l shall wire you my address. I may need that five million before I get back"
 The Limited was rattling over the rails toward the West with speed that was astounding. Outside it was already dark and the lights along the roadbed shot by so fast that they re- sembled sparks flying up a hearth chimney from blazing logs below. In the smoking compartment at the end of the car, John Gwyn sat, perusing some papers. The portieres parted and Won Bleck entered. He drew a cigar from his pocket and asked for match. The latter silently ac- cvmodated him.
 Pretty long and lonesome trip" the Central Powers agent commented. Gwyn nodded. He was apparently in no mood for striking up acquaintan- ces. But Won Bleck persisted.
 "I'm going out to Frisco," he said. Maybe you're bound for there, too. My names Won Bleck; it's nice to know some one on the train"
 "My name is Gwyn," the young en- gineer responded, glancing up from his paper and fearing that he might appear impolite by avoiding conversa- tion. "1'm not going to Frisco, though. I'm on my way to place called Lost Mine, in the wilds of the Sierras. Barstow is my getting-off point."

 Late that night, when the sleeper was black with darkness, except for the fleeting rays of lights along the track that shone but for the briefest fraction of second as they passed the ends of the car, shadowy figure, clad only in dressing gown, quietly andn cautiously emerged from one of the berths. It moved rapidly along until it was outside of Gwyn's com partment; then bent over and peered in. A little pocket flash light sud denly Illuminated the car and reveal ed had any one been awake to see it, the dark features of Won Bleck. He covered the end of the light with his hand to dim it's rays, and put it be- tween the curtains. Gwyn was sleep ing soundly. Won Bleck watched him for moment to see that he was not

Won Bleck walked hurriedly back to his office, donned his hat and coat and strode out, leaving the others ir the inner office, conferring. That could mean nothing until they heard from their superior.
 Ten minutes later, Won Bleck was walking into the building in which was located the office of. John Gwyn. He had, mapped carefully out in his mind, proposition with which he in- tended to startle the young engineer. It was a proposition which would make Gwyn independently wealthy for the remainder of his life-and all that would be necessary for him to do would be to cancel the cinnabar con- tract.
 As he passed through the revolv- ing doors and walked toward the ele- vators, a crowd was surging toward the street. One of these a young stalwartly built man, who carried a suit case, fairly rubbed arms with the agent of the Central Powers. It was John Gwyn! Neither took particular notice of the other, they having never previously met. Gwyn went through the door to the street, and Won Bleck entered the elevator, to be driven up- ward to the formers office.
 "Is MT. Gwyn in?" he inquired of the secretary, as he entered.
 "I'm sorry, sir" was the reply, "but MT. Gwyn just left few minutes ago for an indefinite stay in the West. He was just in to clear up a few matters and left with this suit case. Is it something important; Perhaps I could help you. He has left me in charge, and"
 'It is important" Won Bleck broke in, land I can see no one but MT. Gwyn himself. When does his train leave ? 7"
 - "He goes on the Limited tonight" was the reply.
 Won Bleck was about to leave the office, when his eye caught sight of a picture hanging on the wall in the outer office. He walked over and cas- ually scrutinized it. In the fore ground was a young man, pipe in mouth, roughly clad in mining attire. Behind him was stretch of typical mining country.
 "Is that your employer?" he, ques- toned.

RED CROSS
 NOTES

PARlS-Ccnstant bombing of hos pitals at B. has compelled the American Red Cross to secure a cha teau six miles from town so that nurses can get enough sleep, according to report just received at headauar- ters. Loss of sleep, the report indi- cates, has been one of the most seri- ous results of these air raids as far as the nursing force is concerned. The nurses have refused to allow the at- Jacks to affect their morale and some of them are mentioned as having con- tinued to administer ether calmly and undisturbed throughout one of the most persistent of the night raids. The Chateau, which is used also as a ecrmitory by the Smith College unit, is far enough out to be fairly immune from bombing. The inspectors state that it is godsend to the over wrought and tired nurses who when not on duty can rest here undisturbed.
 PALERMO, Italy.-It is the aim of all the ouvoirs, or sewing rooms of the American Red Cross throughout Italy to gut the patterns. of the gar ments made with as little waste as possible, but it is the boast of the ouv- roir at Palerma that after their eX- pert cutter has finished with a bolt of cloth, there is hardly a scrap an inch square left. Three or four girls, daughters Of soldiers at the front, are employed at the ouvroir stuffing rag dolls with the threads and edges care fully gathered in the cutting room. These little girls then make a dress for each dell and when there is a suf- ficient nu,nber they are given to the babies at the creche, or nursery, and to the sick children at the pavilion, who are receiving medical attention.
 Dr. William P. Lucas, who has just returned to France to resume charge of the infant welfare work of the American Red Cross, has in France staff of seventy ccctors, two hundred trained nurses, ard many aids and so- cial workers-about 700 in all.
 
 Letters frcm American prisoners of war show that most of them depend exclusively on the food furnished them by the War and Navy Departments through the American Red Cross at Berne, Switzerland. The American prisoners turn over to the prisoners of other nations, not so we'll provided for, the rations furnished by the prison camps.

GOVERNMENT SAVED THE PUBLISHERS
Granted Months Extension to Settle Subscription
Accounts. Saves Embarrassment and Heavy
Losses for Publishers
GIVES CHANCE TO SELL CROPS

An order from Washington
reached Blackfoot the last Of the
week, granting an extension of a
months time to November / for
publishers to effect settlement with
subscribers who are in arrears as
much as three months. The original
order was understood by publishers
to mean that on the first day of Oc-
tober they had to strip their sub
scriptiOn lists ofyall whose accounts
were in arrears on that date. Then
an. opinion handed down from the
Publishers Auxiliary said "those who
are in arrears three months The
publishers OF the state of Illinois
asked for an Interpretation of several
items in the order and the chief of
the division controlling the use of
pulp and paper fixed the date Of
November as the final date of reck-
oning.
This is relief to publishers, as
the crops have not yet been sold to
enable farmers to pay much If any
thing on the years bills, and in Idaho
the loss on the potato crop last win
ter, coupled with the heavy expense
of the season and the failure to cash
in on the wheat in early fall has put

a large percentage of the patrons of
newspapers more or less in arrears.
If publishers had been Obliged to
strip their lists on the first Of Octo-
ber as first directed, it would have
cut their legitimate business in two
about the middle, and few news
papers could stand the blow. An ex-
tension of one month is not very
much as months go, but it amounts
to great deal under these circum-
stances, for in thirty autumn days a
great number of patrons can turn in
a dollar or two to keep them within
the ninety-day limit.
On the second Of November the
publishers will be required to report
to Washington the exact condition
of their business, number of sub
scribers in arrears If any number of
sheets of print paper being used
weekly, the amount of reduction Of
consumption during the month of
September and the relative propor-
tion of advertising to reading matter
each issue. Then the government
will tell the publisher how many
subscribers he may serve and how
many sheets of paper he may use per
week.

IF YOU HAVEN'T
BOUGHT A BOND

Germany taught the world some-
thing new in the science of making
war last March. She got together a
supply of shells, and guns and every
offensive weapon greater than the
world had ever seen before. With
this huge pile of shells she staged
terrible offensive with much
smaller loss of German lives than
such battles used to bring. Having
shells to waste, she saved her SOL
diers' lives. Wherever the German
line went forward, endless quantities
of shells were exploding as a pro-
lection in front. Wherever our men
were lined up to defend their posi-
tons, the countryside was deluged
with shells of all descriptions. The
Germans fired a hundred shells, not
caring If ninety-nine hit nothing. II
the hundredth killed man or broke
up trench, they were satisfied.
They had shells to waste, and that
wastefulness protected their men and
put ours out of business.
Our generals ] earned this les
son well. They are ordering cannon,
