UNCLE SAM. NEEDS NURSES.

The Government is appealing ur-
gently for young women to enroll
as nurses. Unmarried women from
IS to 35 are wanted. And Uncle
Sam and the American soldiers are
appealing to you today to enlist.
Will you do it? Do you know of
some enc who will? If our boys
can go to Europe to bleed and die
for the womanhood of the world;
if our men can bare their breasts
and make the sacrifice for the child
rem of the world, is there not one
young woman willing to go to Eu-
rope to nurse those who will need
them?
In the present call Clearwater
county is asked to send three. You
are needed now to take the places
in American hospitals vacated by
trained nurses now going to Eu-
rope. Will you be one Of three to
volunteer?
For particulars see Mrs.. M. R..
Noftsger. Orofino Phone or write
If you cannot come personally.

to fill an unknown grave at the
age of 95?
Harold Kinne's life in the great
Book of time and eternity, will
count for much his memory Will
ever thrill with pride the hearts of
his family and friends, Wherever
his name is mentioned it will be
with knowledge that he was ev-
cry inch a hero, every fibre a man,
and that he glorified life by his SUI
preme sacrifice. And in the hour
when the sorrow is almost more
than the family can bear. there is
the consolation that their son, their
boy, died doing his duty with a
cheerful heart and smile.
All who knew Harold Kline ad-
mired him. He was always cheer
full, always full of life and ambi-
ton. and always clean in body and
mind. In school he was a leader.
In whatever he did h, was upright
clean and manly. In sport he was
fair. open and generous, and NOR
ally clean and sound.

PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Miller Of
Peck were Orofino visitors yester-
day. Mr.. Miller is manager of the
Felt's store in Peck, and is one of
the prog essive young merchants of
this section. He says he knows it
pays to advertise, and can give sub
stantial proof that he knows what
he is saying. While Peck had pa
per Mr.. Miller ran a coffee ad one
issue. Altho that was months ago,
he tells us he is still reaping the
benefit of that ad. He feels the
community that has no local paper
is in hard luck, and that good
local paper is a most valuable asset
to town.

HISTORIC OLD PIERCE
ORGANIZES SOCIETY.

Monday evening a meeting was
held at Pierce to take preliminary
steps towards organizing the Pierce
City Historical Association, the .pur-
pose of which is to purchase the
old Federal court house building,
and to gather articles of historical
interest connected with the old
town. and totgather and preserve
all of the Information available con-
corning its early day activities.
r. H. Bailey was made temper
airy chairman, and Marie E. Roos
secretary. A meeting for the pur-
pose of completing incorporation
was called for the 31st., and every
one interested is invited to be pres
ent and assist in the organization.
Much data is now available
which. If neglected. will be lost in
a short time. 1t is proposed to
gather old records, newspaper files,
relics, and compile all information
available.
AS is we'll known Pierce City was
for many years the county seat of
Shoshone county, both when said
county was part of Washington
Territory and when it was part
of Idaho Territory.
Judge l. B. Cowan who was in
early days sheriff, county commits
sioner, probate judge, county treas
urer and deputy auditor and record
err, is still living at Pierce, and is
very interesting character. He was
always identified with the forces Of
law and order, and was man OF
nerve and action. He will cele-
brate his ninetieth birthday on the
22nd. of this month.
Among the things proposed is
reunion of old-time residents of
Pierce on the next Fourth of July.

JUST BEFORE The BATTLE

The following poem, from the
zen of an Idaho boy, Chester G
Reese of Lewiston, will be of in
creased interest to Republican read
ers from the fact that he is son
of W. B. Reese's brother, and a
cousin Of John and T. C. Reese of
Gilbert The young man was raised
in Lewiston and went to the Mex
lean border with Co. F. of Lewiston
when our country sent troopes there
to do patrol duty before war with
Germany was declared. The young
man is now in France.
1t is Just before the battle;
Everything's SO death-like still.
You can hear the wind whisper
ing
Through the oak trees on the hill.
And you hear the rats gnawing
All between the dugout walls.
AS you lie down on your straw-heap
That's so "crumby" that it crawls!
And the Huns are coming over,
That is certain, for you've seen
Ali day long their troops a-massing
In their lousy coats of green.
Their artillery has been ranging
On the road behind the town,
And you wonder il you'll whimper
When it comes to a showdown.
And your bunky is awhetting
On a Notwithstanding knife
And another man is pondering
Der letter to his wife.
And another's showing bullets
In his rifle magazine,
And another's peddling rumors
He has heard at the "latrine."
Here another guy is filling
All his pockets with grenades.
There another's singing softly,
OF rose that never fades.
And you close your eyes a-dreaming
or your home away out west,
Where the roses are in blossom
And the robins come to nest
And you see your little mother
Meath the vines around the door,
And your eyes with salt are smart
ing
While your heart feels shameful
sore.
And you hear your sisters singing,
And you see your daddy
A-puttering around the garden
Where his spuds and cabbage grow
And you wonder why the nations
fight
When there's happier things to do
And you curse the guys that started
All this bloody hdllabaloo;
Then another thot comes a chasing
All the curses from your mind
AS you think of how courageous
Are the folks you left behind!
| How travely they had struggled
AS they smiled and bid you go
To help rid the world forever
Or its military woe!
And you feel your jaws a-stiffenine
And you feel your war-blood come
And you grip your rifle tighter;
Damn the Dutch! Just let 'en
come!
Written at France,
June z, 1918.

When you hear the Kaiser roaring
And you see the Zepps a-soaring,
Buy a Thrift Stamp.
When the Boches start a-raiding.
With an allied line a-fading,

And the Teuton line Is sinking,
Buy a Thrift Stamp.

LIE IENANI HAhOLD hlNNE.
Harold was born February %.
1896 at Shell Lake. Wisconsin. He
moved with his parents twelve
years ago to Clearwater county. Id
aho, graduated from the Orofino
high school in 1914. and took up
his studies in the University Of
Wisconsin in 1915, receiving a
scholarship each year for his excel
lency in scholarship. In his second
year he was chosen by his college
to debate against the University of
South Dakota. and the following
year was sent to Los Angeles, CAL,
to debate against the Law School
Of Southern California. 1t was dur
ing this trip war was declared and
he hurried back to Wisconsin to
take up war work.
Speaking Of his debate the South
ern California Trojan, the organ of
the law school, said:
1.-THE Wisconsin boys put up one
of the best fights ever witnessed In
the west. and soon had the good
will of the large audience (2.7O0)
because of their clean cut argu-
menis and sportsmanship."
He left Immediately for Fort
Sheridan and received commission
as second lieutenant. He was one
of Ave from each company to be
given the privilege of going to
France and there took three months
special training in trench work. He
was one of the first $500 to take
the front line trenches He gave
sup mis- lite in active du v July -,
1918.
In letter to his folks, shortly
before his death. Harold wrote:
| Turning point of my path. Peace
and safety are no longer one Of my
aims. give myself to nothing but
chance. Should chance number me
on the casualty list. very we'll.
will be one of the many willing. No
men We're ever in a more precarious
place than we are now; no one ever
faced it more resignedly. Now we
leave for the troublesome lone
brigade to join another brigade. II
Is raining and icy. We are the first
of the Americans. am one of the
| first 5000 men to hold a sector of
the American line. one of the first
$500 to go into the front line. Our
company has a position where II
can not hope for reenforcements
1t is rifle pit where we fight to
the last. What is in store? Let II
come"

CAR REFUSED TO WHOA"
DEMOLISHING RIPS FROM,

The ways of an automobile are
hey d human understanding
sometimes. Wednesday big 7-pas-
senger Stevens refused to stop when
the driver yelled whoa and the
brake bucked. The car rolled leis-
urly out through the front of the
Ripley garage, taking four glass
doors with it. The car stopped in
the middle of the street as uncon
cerned as tho it had behaved itself
as decoriously as a tin Lizzie. No
damage was sustained by the car,
but oh, you front of Rips auto hos
pital! 1t looks like the picture of
Belgium after the German invasion.
The Republican has received
many compliments the past week
for its obituary on the late Lieu
tenant Kline. But who could not
write for this hero? AS true ora
tory is inspired by some great SUBJ
ject or theme, so is literature. In
thirty years of newspaper work we
have never had anything move us
to greater effort as an editor than
the devotion to duty. the patriot
ism, and the unselfishness of Lieu
tenant Kline. But IL there ever
was a time when we felt unequal to
the task 1t was when we tried to
do Justice to real hero. The
death of Lieutenant Kline was
enough. to inspire the deepest emo
ton, and awake the loftiest senti-
ments of the human heart and
mind.
