Cashed Worthless Check

A stranger, giving the name of
Fred Larson and representing that
he was from Troy, tried to cash
checks at nearly every store in Ken
drick Thursday afternoon and even
tried to cash one amounting to
$3.50 at both banks. At the Ken
drick Store he cashed one amounting
to $25 and at the Red Cross Pharm-
acy tried to buy a nine dollar kodak
and give fifteen dollar check in
payment. Mr.. HERES. however, re-
fused to accept the check and the
stranger left the store without TAX
ing the check with him. The check
was made out to Fred Larson and
was signed J. J. Smith.

bogus and notified the authorities at
Juliaetta, Moscow and Lewiston.

men at Juliaetta about seven o'clock

other man who was seen in COM
pany with the check raiser here.

Tractor School at University

In a recent survey of the state 1t
was found that one of the most i'm
portant factors determining the sue
cess or failure of tractor as an in
vestment was the ability of the
operator. Many men get the ex-
perience in operating during the
busy season when time is precious.
This is expensive in more ways than
one. The loss of time when the
work is pressing and the rapid de-
terioration of the machine due to
lack of experience and knowledge in
care and operation.
In the two weeks school to be
given, man may secure know
ledge of his machine which will
save him much loss during the COM
ing seasons. To the prospective
buyer it gives an opportunity to
compare the different machines as
to material used, principle of con-
struction and the methods of oper-
alton.
Lectures will be given daily and
all parts illustrated. Operation and
shop work will occupy the remand
er of the time. If you have tractor
that is in need of overhauling bring
it and overhaul it during the school.
Drop line to ]. C. Wooley of the
Agricultural Engineering Depart.
ment telling him that you will be
present January 27 to February 7,
1919.

From Henry Mielke
Camp Gorden, Ga.

Camp Gorden, Ga.
Arrived here yesterday to COM
plete the course in the officers
training school. The machine gun
school at Camp Hancock has been
disbanded, so those of US who wish
ed to complete the course were sent
up here to take the infantry course
and get commission in that branch
of the service.
Attorney J. G. Hoyt Of Troy was
at Hancock and was quratered just
a few tents from me. He has decid-
d to go home.
This is one of the best camps in
the country-up to date in every
way. We have completed minor
parts of our course and from now on
our studies will consist mostly of
field problems and tactical exer-
cises.
We are kept busy all day and all
evening. We get all the training
in three months that soldier gets
in five or SIX months; not only that
but we have to learn it all so we can
teach others.
Army life has been somewhat
dreary to me for the past two
months or so on account Of the flu
quarantine, at Camp Meade and
the same at Hancock. After the
flu quarantine we were quarantined
on account of the scarlet fever.
They closed up the shows, Y. M. C.
A. and we were restricted to our
company streets and were not al
lowed to go into any tent but our
own.-Henry Mielke, Machine Gun

H. B. Emmel Here

H. B. Emmel, Y. M. G. A. Sec
retary, who has been stationed in
New York City for the past five
months, returned Monday night to
spend the holidays with his family
here. He wrote to them not to ex-
pect him until after Christmas, so
his homecoming was a glad sur
prise to them and to his many..warm
friends here. He expects to leave
the last of this month for Seattle,
as he is due there the Both, and will
embark for Russia where he has
position in the Y. M. C. A. work.
Mr.. Emmel left here last spring
tor New York City, expecting to
Immediately be sent overseas to
France for Army Y. work. On ar.
irving IN New York he was inform
ed that the Government had order
ed his passport cancelled. This
was complete surprise to him and
to the members of the Y. M. CA.
and it was several months before he
was Informed of the reason for the
Government action. 1t developed
that someone had accused him of dis
loyaty, but from whom this report
origiated and from whence it came,
no one but the Government and the
pro German propagandist who made
the charge knows. Mr.. EN-
me's friends here know how utter
ly absurd the charge was and that
there could be no just cause why
anyone should put this cloud over
him. His unqualifiedly loyal spirit
was known here and before leaving
for New York he was one of the
most energetic war workers in this
community. The charge would seem
ridiculous if it had not carried with
it such serious consequences.
After five months of perseverance,
and by the assistance of several in
fluential friends he succeeded in
clearing up the cloud.and the Gov
ernment had to acknowledge that it
was false one but gave no partic-
ulars as to its origin.
However, the trials which this
big hearted Y. worker had to en-
dure were not without their COM
pensation. The fight which he made
to clear himself brought him into
prominence among some of the
! leading Y. M. C.. A. officials and
as recompense for what he had
gone through and to show the con-
fidence in which he was held by his
Y. M. G. A. brothers, he was given
a very responsible and promising
position as a specialist in physical
culture and is being sent to Russia
where he will be in charge of re-
construction work, or rather, in
the furtherance of american Pro-
paganda" or "Americanism" in
that unenlightened country. His
work will be somewhat in the ma
ture of missionary work but will
reach farther than that and will be
primarily to educate the people
there into the spirit of American
principles. 1t will be broad field
and is work that is wonderfully ly
; suited to Mr.. Emmel's abilities
He has enlisted for two years and
will probably have to be away from
his family during this time, al.
though it is possible that after the
first year he will be allowed to have
. them with him. In the mean time
they will remain here.
