Smallpox Dying Out.

The smallpox situation is more
encouraging, only a couple Of new
cases having been reported during
the last week, and it is thought
that in another week all danger
of an epidemic will be gone.
If the people will cooperate and
work with the physicians, this
trouble would be of short dura-
ton. We understand that the
only new cases within the last
week are one family in town and
one in the country where they did
not notify a doctor. Some of the
family remained at home while
the others were around town the
same as usual. Of course, as ev-
knows, this is the easiest
way in the world to spread the ep-
idemic and it must be stopped
at all hazards.
1t is the duty Of every one to
notify a doctor just as soon as
they have even the least suspicion
that any member of the family
has contagious disease.

fault of bonds in the sum of $780,
900. Brown is charged with dis

The complaining witness in the

terances against the government

subscribe to a fund for work at
the army cantonments. The
matter was reported and the ar
rest of Brown followed. Brown
is a miner and has made his head
quarters at Sites for two or three

Death of Little Bernard HOene

Bernard, the 9-months-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Hoene, died
Sunday night, after a brief illness
of only a couple of days, caused
by bowel trouble, known in medi-
cal science as acidosis. The buri-
al took place Wednesday fore
noon, Father Willibrord conduct
ing the funeral services.
John Hoene, the father, was in
Portland at the time, on his way
home from his California trip,
and was unable to arrive here be-
fore Tuesday night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoene have been
extremely unfortunate in the loss
of their children, this being their
sixth child to die from this same
complaint-and all of them when
they were about a year old. They
have three healthy, robust chill
dren living-aged II, 5 and 3
years.
The sympathy of the entire
community is rendered Mr.. and
Mrs. Hoene in their sad aff1iction.
They desire in this manner to
thank the kind friends for their
sympathy and assistance in their
hour of trouble.

The COTTONWOOD
ROLL OF HONOR
Service Flag in Honor of
Army and Navy Boys.

1t is the custom now through
out the country for every town
and city to display Service Flags"
containing a star for every boy in
the town and vicinity who is in
the service of the army or navy.
1t is the intention of our citi-
zens in the near future to raise a
fund with which to procure a Ser
vice Flag and also large nation
al flag for the town. At present
the town appears to be without a
large national flag-so highly
priced and honored at this partic-
ular time in every patriotic nook
and corner of the United States.
Our local Council of Defense Of
ficers-John Funke and Fat Ham
lin are at the head of this worthy
move, and are prepared to receive
subscriptions for the same. 1t is
thought the two flags and pole
will cost something like SIS.
One man has already donated $40
to the fund.
1t is expected to have all in
readiness to raise the Service flag
on Memorial Day-May Both,
with appropriate ceremonies, in
cluding a patriotic address, music,
songs, etc.
Parker & Parker are preparing
large frame to contain the pic
lures of all of the three dozen or
SO of the army and navy boys
from Cottonwood and vicinity
who volunteered their services in
the defense of their country. The
frame will appear in their store
window. The parents and friends
having photos of the boys are
asked to hand them in to the
store as soon as possible. Already
about dozen pictures have been
handed in. A flag will surround
the frame and the words 'Roll of
Honor" will appear above the
pictures.

he will spend next Tuesday, 9Th,
in Cottonwood to assist our peo-
pie in making out these income

out these returns has been extend
ed to April 1st.

ried person whose net income for
1917 was $1,000 or over, and every
person whose net income
for 1917 was $4,000 or over, to
call on the income tax man and

Railroad Passes Called In.

The railroads operating in Ida
no are calling in all passes issued
to county sheriffs, their deputies
and state officials, in compliance
with the recent order of Director
General McAdoo. The Idaho
public utilities commission has
sought to have the order modified
for the recalling of the passes will
cost Idaho several thousands of
dollars. The state departments
that will be most seriously affect
ed by the recall order are the
state veterinarians, state horticul-
tural inspectors, pure food COM
missioner, state board of health,
fish and game department and
others. By the terms of the pub
lie utilities act, state officials may
make application to the commits
sion for transportation, and if
that body approves the applica-
ton the carriers must thereupon
issue the passes. - After taking
over the railroads of the country
Director General McAdoo issued
an order directing that railroads
recall all passes, and this they are
proceeding to do.

FARM WAGE
SCALE FIXED
Top Wages 3Oc an Hour and
Board--1O Hours Work.

A Moscow dispatch dated Feb.
Fl says:
An organized effort to fix farm
wages in Idaho has been started
by the state farm burean, the la
Dor committee of the council of
defense and the director of the
state farm market bureau and a
schedule has been fixed. Locals
of the farmers union and the
grange and kindred organizations
are to be furnished with these
schedules and asked to be govern
ed by them. Following is the
scale adopted for Idaho:
The state farm bureau recon-
mended that harvest hands or ex-
ira help employed by the day
should not be paid more than 80
cents an hour or So a day of ten
hours, with board, and that a
maximum of 45 cents an hour be
paid such hands for every hour
above that, with the understand
ing that time will be taken out
for delays caused by storm or acts
of providence. 1t is further rec
commended that 81 a day addi-
tional be paid to such hands who
board themselves.
1t is the unanimous recommen-
dation of the state farm bureau
that for general farm work, where
hands are employed by the month
that $50 monthly with board be
the maximum wage during 1918.
1t is further provided that married
men who board themselves should
be paid $50 a month with suitable
housing.
Growers of potatoes are urged
to not pay more than 5 cents a
sack of 100 pounds for picking
potatoes, said price to include
board. Where pickers board
themselves it is recommended
that not more than 6 cents a sack
of 120 pounds be paid.
