A Creditable Entertainment.

Some of the boys and girls of the
younger set gave an entertainment last
Tuesday night at the X. P hall for the
benefit of the Junior Red Cross. The
evening netted some s43 for the Red
Cross and 50 for the Armenian relief
fund
As an amateur entertainment this one
was among the most creditable ever put
on in Shoshone The parts were well
taken and well executed. It was well
worth the price of admission and all
who took part in it are entitled to spe-
cial commendation for their enterprise
and skill and talent Their show left
good taste in the mouth of every one
and everyone present hope the children
will not let this be their last one.

CHILD WELFARE.

The Child Welfare committee held its
first test for measuring and weighing
children under school age last Saturday.
Fifty children were examined and out
OF this number only eighteen came up
to the average or above, according TO
the Anthropometric table compiled for
the American Medical association.
The purpose of the weighing and
measuring test is to aid community in
saving its quota of the 100000 lives of
children under school age to be saved
in this country during its second year
of war, called the children's year.
last year the mortality among chill
dren of this age in the L. S. was more
than 100000, a third of which were
thought to have been needless.l

WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.

A short time ago the Journal office
purchased one of those little squirt gun
fire extinguishers using Pyrene. las.
week while working at the linotype the
feed pipe which supplies gasoline to the
burner used in melting the metal, hroke
off at the burner. The gasoline was
being used with an air pressure system
and at the time of the accident was
pumped up TO 40 pounds. When the
break occurred the stream of burning
gasoline under 40 pounds pressure was
sprayed all over the machine and squirt
ed to the ceiling of the room. The valve
to the gas tank was Immediately closed
by the operator and the Pyrene squirt
gun turned on the fire. The first squirt
put the fire out and stopped what seem
ed like serious eoniiagration. The
little Pyrene squirt gun did it.

escape the consequences of MS acts in

GUS that no candidate can escape the
loyalty test in either party, or survive,
if he is not esteemed all right all the
time. Yet the Democrats of the Fifth
district. Washington, have made the
strange blunder of renominating c. c.
Dill, while the Republicans have whole
heartedly and enthusiastically rejected
VIM. La Toilette. Let us draw no in
vidious comparisons between the re-
spective actions of the two parties. The
error of the Dill electorate will un-
doubtedly be corrected in November,
when his opponent. an outstanding Am
erican, will be elected.
If the Democrats throughout the ma
tion repeat the Dill blunder by the
nomination of obnoxious candidates,
they will take the surest possible way
to guarantee Republican house in the
sixty sixth congress.

THE ACCOUNTING.
Portland Oregonian.

Portland Oregonian.
The Republicans of the Fourth con-
gressional district, Washington, have
taken the case of William LaFollette
in hand and at the primary have set in
motion the machinery to retire him to
private life. The issue of loyalty
wrecked the political ship of La Fol-
lette, after four terms in congress.
The Democrats of the Fifth Wash
ington district have chosen to stand
by c. c. Dill. representative. with 4
record of obstruction to preparedness,
opposition to the selective service and
negation on the war declaration, all due
to chronic and mistaken pacifcm, OF
which he now pretends to have re-
pented.
The Republicans of Wisconsin have
probably renominated Governor Phillip
for a third term by a slender vote,
though he was active IN opposing the
draft and vehemently protested against
sending American soldiers to Europe

consin district, (Racine) have defeated
for denomination H. a. Cooper. for
more than 20 years a member of the
house. and long the popular leader of
his district. He opposed the war and
favored an embargo on the shipment of
arms to the allies.

Third Wisconsin district, (Madison),

of nearly all the test measures on the
war once accused and indicted with his
son for conspiracy to evade the draft

Republican primary by the same can
