COUNTY AGENT KJOSNESS
TO LEAVE POWER COUNTY
VIII Become Assistant State Leader
OF County Agents, in Charge of Ag-
ricultural Work i'm North Idaho.

County Agent KjOsness has been ap-
pointed assistant to State Leader of
County Agents HOchbaum, with charge
Of the work in the ten northern coun-
ties Of the state. and will soon leave
for his new field Of labor For the past
year he has been declining flattering
offers from the state of Washington
at an advance of salary reaching up
to $500 a year more than he is re-
ceiving here. He has persistently re-
fused to accept them feeling that his
work here was not completed.
The placing Of county agent in ev-
cry county of the state. under instruc-
tions from the department of agri-
culture, has increased the work of the
state leader to such an extent as to
require the appointment of an assistant
and the honor fell to Mr.. Kjosness as
a recognition Of the work he has done
in this county.
About the last of February Mr.. Kjos-
ness was called north to assist the
state leader in organizing the northern
counties, and spent a month there in
work Of this kind. No intimation was
given him that he was slated for pro-
motion until his return home His
new position carries an increase Of
compensation along with increased re-
sponsibilities, but the increase is not
so much as he would have received
had he accepted the position offered
in Washington. There will be regrets
at his leaving, but the knowledge that
he is bettering his condition will be
a part compensation.
A successor for Mr.. Kjosness has
not yet been appointed. but a message
announcing the name of the new man
is daily expected.

The country was beautiful at that
time. The rolling, green pasture

of acres Of vinyards, while dotted here
and there would be a cluster of trees
amidst which we could trace the out
line Of a stately chateau. Along the
country roads they use blackberry
bushes as a hedge fence The French
do not care for this luscious berry and
we were free to gather them at will
We were not long in taking advantage
OF this offer and many the blackberry
cobbler and pies we had until our
supply failed, owing to the distance
we had to go to gather them.
AS | stated before, I went to church
last Sunday. The service was deliv-
cred by a gentle voiced. gray haired
old priest The darkened interior and
the droning voice of the priest made
one seem far away from war and the
workaday world. The congregation
was chiefly women, few men mostly
in uniform were scattered around.
Fully seventy-five per cent of these
women were in mourning. have

of France is represented by those wo-
men and thousands of others like them
who may have shed tears in the sha-
dowy depths of that old church but
faced the facts and ironies of life
bravely enough upon emerging again
into the sunlight, and with even a
smile for the American boys who had
come to help make Germany atone for
some of the wrongs done them.

of Prof. j. j. Mcclellan, the noted or
ganist of the Mormon tabernacle at
Salt Lake City. and leading pianist
OF the intermountain region, and Will
lard E. Weihe, premier violinist of the

an event that ill be appreciated to
the fullest extent by the people of

IOWA ROOMING HOUSE
BURNED LAST NIGHT

The Iowa Rooming House, conduct
ed by Mrs. o. c. Hall, was destroyed
by fire last night with all its contents.
1t was two story frame building in
the center of the block south of the
depot, and has been operated as a
rooming house for the past ten years.
During the early days OF the develop
ment of American Falls it was con-
Quoted by Mrs. NJ. A. Award, and was
a popular place. 1t has always been
well conducted and enjoyed a liberal
patronage. The property has chang
ed hands several times within the past
few years. and is said to be owned by
F. ]. Kohlhepp. The loss is complete.
The amount of insurance could not be
learned.

at over four thousand concerts in the
west and in the large cities of the east,
ever with distinguishing success. Nc
Clellan and Weihe have jointly ap-
peared at every worlds fair since
Chicago and have achieved notable
successes. Prof. Willard Weihe is
master of his instrument. His tone
is bewitchingly beautiful and his
technical equipment is that of the
genuine artist. He was the protege
Of Ole Bull, the Norwegian violinist,
favorite pupil of de Anna, Vieuxtemps
and Joachim, and has appeared joint
ly with Ysaye, the greatest violinist
of the day.
Mr.. Crowley, manager of the Audi
torium, who has engaged these ar
lists to play here is to be congratulate

program to be rendered on April 10th

to eat less that our boys and our al
lies may have what they need, let us
do so cheerfully. We may have to
wear our old clothes, but we can get
along with just as few clothes as the
Germans. We can be just as self
sacrificing, not because we have to be,
but because we want to be, as any Ger
man. 1t may take five years to win,
or ten years, but we can win if we

other man, let him stand up. l want

Justice Morgan created a laugh in
telling how he was meeting his part
in the war. I'VE must all pick out a
German" he said "and determine to
do as much and a little more to win
the war, than the German is doing
We must willingly make as great sac
ritices as he is making l have pick
ed out my German | have not seen
him, but God pity him if l do. He is
one of those big Prussian Germans,
and I am going to show him that I
can do as much and get along with as
little, and fight just little harder than
he can"
The keynote of his address was that
we must endure privations and hard
ships to win, and that the feeding and
financing of the war is our part, and
a small part when compared to that
of the boys at the front.

RED CROSS NOTES.


The benefit given by the Catholic
ladies was an immense success. The
cake which was auctiOned off brought
500 and with the other receipts
brought the total up to S195S0. The
entire expenses of the evening were
met by the ladies of the society. The
local chapter desires. through this col
umn. to express to the Catholic ladies
its appreciation and thanks for this
nice addition to the treasury
There will be no more regular
monthly meetings of the chapter un-
til called for some special purpose by
the chairman. This is due to the fact
that so few have been in attendance
at these meetings. When any matter
of importance arises the chairman
will call a special meeting and it is
hoped by this measure to get out a
good representation of the chapter.
There was a real splendid Red
Cross benefit held out in the Ringe
district last week. Mrs. Ringe and
Mrs. Mueller, together, met the other
ladies in the district, planned it, and
carried it to a successful finish. The
entire proceeds were $36.40. A set
ting hen and setting of eggs brought
s315, two other settings of eggs
brought $1.75 and 1925 each.
The Red Cross benefit picture show
over There" netted our chapter
$46.30. We are very grateful to Mr.
Crowley for his kindness and his in
terest in the work which made this
possible.

AMERICA AND JAPAN
REACH AN AGREEMENT
Latter to Give the United States 45S,.
900 Tons OF Its Shipping.

1t is learned from authoritative
sources that an agreement has been
concluded under which Japan will
turn over to the United States $50 900
tons of shipping.
OF this total, 100000 tons will be
supplied Immediately, in return for
no consideration except the chartering
rates of the allies. The Japanese gov
ernment will make up the difference
between this payment and the far
eastern rate. involving an expenditure
of 1S,000,0OO yen.
Another 100000 tons of new ships
will be delivered between May and
December in exchange for an equal
tonnage steel. The remaining 200, 600
tons will be turned over as construct
ed later, upon terms which are mutual
ly regarded as very satisfactory.
The plan was arranged by the Amer
lean ambassador, Roland s. Norris,
with the fullest cooperation on the
part of the government and shipbuild-
ers.
The amount of tonnage to be made
available by Japan is considerably in
excess of previous estimates. A dis
patch received Wednesday from Toxic
said the amount was given by the
japanese newspapers as 25O,OO0 tons
