The Cottonwood Highway Dis
trict commissioners have ordered
a new road opened just east of
town, about one mile in length,
to run by the slaughter house and
through the SCHNEIDER farm, con-
Meeting with the old road at the
Tony Terhaar place. The object
in making this change is to avoid
the steep hill just east of town,
and will save a heavy haul for
the farmers in bringing their pro-
duce to town and the railroad.

The Farmers Union has just re-
ceived a letter from Theo. B.
Wilcox of Portland, who is at the
head of the grain system of the
Pacific coast, which concludes as
follows: "In reply to yours of
the 18th inst. you are allowed to
grind wheat delivered to you by
the farmers in exchange, SO long
as you do not furnish them a larg-
er amount of flour than the reas-
enable requirements of their fam
lily until the next harvest and you
do not have to sell them any sub
StituteS."

Don't get excited and throw a
fit because there are several mild
cases of smallpox in the commun-
ity. There were half a dozen or
more cases of it in Grangeville a
short time ago, and they paid no
attention to it in the matter of
closing schools, churches, etc.
Don't worry and get excited, and
the trouble and scare will soon
blow away.

Farm help is going to be scarce
and hard to get next Spring. You
know that now. Take the bull
by the horns by fixing everything
about the farm that needs fixing
and getting everything ready for
spring work. By doing so now
will save you the price of hired
mans wages for a month next
Spring.

FRIDAY, FEB. %, 1918

For the next few issues until
Spring business opens up and auc-
ton sale advertising begins again,
the Chronicle can very nicely
handle its business with 4-page
paper. There will be just the
same local news space as before,
the only difference being that sew
eral columns of plate-matter news
will be cut out-which the aver
age reader does not particularly
care for anyway. The majority
of the readers of a country paper
do not expect or want to see any
other but local news in their home
paper.
Cottonwood chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1917-current, 1918-02-22

The Chronicle is read each week
by every person within 10 or Is
miles of Cottonwood, with the
possible exception of perhaps half
a dozen men who borrow the pa
per from their neighbors and read
it anyway. Which proves that
intelligent people know a good
thing when they see it.

The 1918 price of wheat for the
Northwest having been raised
from $1.70 to $1.91 will be most
pleasing news to our wheat-grow-

the farmer from getting rich this
year-and buying millions of dol
lars worth of Liberty bonds.

preliminary, you must start, but that
can be at your leisure. Make a dozen
or sven a hundred attempts to bring
the car to a standstil until you have
gained confidence. Then adventure
along some quiet. unobstructed road.
After you have received some In
struction about the general mechanism
of the car, practice stopping suddenly
before reaching imaginary dangers
along the road. Don't wait for this
lesson until a child. a chicken, an alb

irresponsible live thing sends your

Measuring Distance.
Measuring distance accurately is the
most important feature of driving.
Draw two lines across the road fifty
feet apart. Then. going at the rate of
twenty miles an hour. apply the brake
and see how long It takes you to stop
the car. When you discover how much
over the fifty-foot line your automobile
goes. YOU realize the necessity for the
drivers first rule-cauton.
This trial also teaches you hat
speed is safe in approaching railroad
crossings and interesting streets. and
how near you can go to traffic before
applying your brake.-Popular Science

NEW HEADLIGHT FOR AUTOS
Connected With Front Axle and Al.
ways Points in Same Direction
With Front Wheels.

The latest development in automo-
bile lighting is a headlight which al.
ways points in the right direction.
Every motorist has known the annoy
ance which arises in turning corners.
when the front wheels are pointed In
one direction and the headlights in
another, and the country to left or
right is lighted, while the road he
wants to travel is dark. The new
headlight Is connected with the front
axle in such a way that 1t turns with
the front wheels instead of with the
body Of the cur. and always points in
the direction the wheels are pointed.
which is, Of course, the path that the
a will travel.

Margaret had been enjoying a visit
from her cousin. a young woman libra

vacation being over, she began getting

dismay and begged to have her stay

Her mother said. "No, they need her
at the library and she must 60"
Margaret sat thinking soberly a long
time. Then her face cleared and she
cried out, "Ohi mamma, couldn't we
