COL. PATCH
VERY OPTOM|ST|C

We are in receipt of a letter
from Lieut.. Col. Patch, written un-
der date of Sept. End, in which he
gave us permission to comment if we
so chose. The Colonel is in the best
of spirits and quite optomistic over
the war situation. He is in command
of a heavy artillery regiment and
has taken his men thru many heavy
engagements with constant firing
night and day. He speaks in the
highest terms of his men and their
fighting qualities. Says they are
pushing the Germans back and fol-
lowing them SO closely they can
smell the sauer kraut; and every
American and French soldier found
along the road are lying head for
ward. The German prisoners taken,
display feeling of discouragement.
He says the fighting spirit of the
American soldiers lis wonderful, and
the spirit of the American boys has
put new lif into the French army.
He speaks of that country as being
very cold. Has to wear an over
coat and heavy underware all the
time.

Portia Club NetOs

The first combined business and
program meeting, ON Monday after
noon was wall attended, and many
things of interest developed.
The first notable feature ; was a
table full of canned fruit, "a quarts,
and several glasses of jelly, to be
sent to the canteen at Huntington,
for the mothers sons-to be soldiers
and HE boys in uniform.
Another collection of dried fruits
will be made in Payette County to
send to Base Hospital No. 20, France
where Idaho has ten nurses, and four
well known to our people. If you
have dried fruit that you want the
nurses to have phone any club mem
ber you know and the chairman will
be notified at once-this way or
write.
The Club is the "meHing pot" for
much and varied news And in this
connection note. meS SELECTION of
clean, substantial Clothing for both
sexes and all ages, shoes. socks hose

baby; put it on porches for Friday
and Saturday collectors. Had every
mother been in the meeting they
would have gone away thinking that
the conservation idea. has not reach
ed to practical depths yet, and that
one half of the world knows nothing
of the dire poverty of the other.
Mrs. Muller came in with a small
bundle of (two hands fulD fagotz
just inches in length and as no
fire was needed, wondered what she
had up her sleeve and soon found
out that while she lived in France
she ppid cents to the fagot mer-
chant for, and that he made liv-
ing for his family by this work.
Mrs. Bulmer told how each bit of
paper is saved in England and toys
made of it. A plea was made that
the club in the near future adopt a
French orphan. Others brought out
many thoughts on conservation The
Club is indebted to two high school
girls, Luella Kirkendall and Dorothy
Turner for a new war song-Send
Me a Rose from Homeland. The call
came for more workers in the Red
Gross room An allotment of cloth
ing for the ,Belgians must be finish

Bonds has taken a new turn. The
manipulators instead of offering 10
buy the bonds at inadequate pric5 S
offer in exchange for them the stocks
and bonds of various wildcat corpora
tions, whose face value is large but
whose actual value is little or no.h-
ing
The safest investment in the world
is a Liberty Bond. For a patriotic
American, Liberty Bonds are tee best
investment in the world. 1t is not
only a wise thing to hold them it is.
patriotic thing to do. The. soldier
that takes a trench and then volun-
tarily gives it up is not to be &C
pared with one who takes a trench
and holds it against the enemy.
American who buys Liberty Bond
and then sells it is not so good an
American as one who buys a bond
and holds it. This DOGS not app
however, to one who sells his ben
because of real necessity; there is
legitimate trading in Liberty Bonds
which the Treasury recognizes.
1t was a wise and patriotic old
colorAd American who refused to sell
his s100 Liberty Bond for s96, becaus
he would not give up the United
States promise (his bcnd) to pay
him 500 with interest for the Unit
ed States promise currency to pay
him 500, and who refused to sell the
same bond for $102, because, he said
that the 'S1O2 must be counterfeit or
else the would-be purchaser would
not be willing to give it for only 500 |
1t is safe to say that there are no
gold bricks or wildcat securities !
among that Americans assets.

Several outside buyers have writ
ten US that they are not afraid OF
the weevil and as proof of their
statements have ordered several cars
CT No. 1 grade hay during the last
few days. Be sure and keep plenty
of hay for feeding use as this val
ley should feed out many extra car
loads of beef this winter. We know
of one cattleman that will sci 100
head of feeders in November or
soon as they come from the range.
Feeding cattle will bring s5 more

WASTE NO FRUIT.
In past years tons of win iialls
have gone to waste because of nc
local demand. If you have windfalls
that you will donate to families hav
ing no fcuit the County Agfnt viii
assume the responsibility of bringing
all parties together So that n
fruit need be wasted. Phone 80, eve

SEED CORN.
There are several fea ures to con
sider in choosing seed corn. At last
two of these features should be at
t nded to before the corn is cut
for shocking. First one shoIld go
thru a field to locat those stalks
where the ears are about 4 feet
as those set up feet from the
ground are later maturing. Secondly,
the ears should be neither drooping
nor too outstanding. The best angle
S about 40 degrees, indicating a
strong shank and good vitality. Mark
these stalks now with a piece of
,olored cloth or carpet rag. Then in
shocking the corn place these mark
ID stalks near the center so that
early frosts will not injure your seed
;rop. When the ears are husked in
November save these selected so
hat another culling may be given
hem by saving those ears of best
ype kernels and kernel arrangement.
