A Piker Patriot is a man who goes home every
night to a comfortable fireside and a happy
family, who enjoys all the blessing. and oppor-
%tunities that America gives, who has a good
job and good wages, but doesn't euen buy a
$50 Liberty Bond on cas- payments.
A Piker Patriot is a man who bought a Liberty
Bond last October, one-tenth the size he could
have taken, and now when approached by a
Liberty Bond salesman, sticks out his chest and
says "I'ue bought one"

Prof. Skinner handed in the
following item: Last Monday
night the school board met and
voted that German must be elm
mated from the Cottonwood Pub
lie Schools. There is no time and
excuse for teaching German in
this hour of peril, when our nation
is at war with the greatest organ
ization of evil and destruction
that the world has ever known.
Anything that gives comfort to
the enemy is a pro-German act,
and speaking and teaching Ger
man to our boys and girls would
certainly give comfort to the
enemy.

In favorably reporting a bill to
impose drastic penalties on dis
loyal acts, the senate judiciary
committee this week adopted an
amendment by Senator Poindex-
ter of Washington, prescribing
imprisonment for 20 years and
$4,000 fine for whoever shall by
word or act support or favor the
cause of the German empire, or
its allies, in the present war, or
by word or act oppose the cause
of the United States therein"

The American troops 100000
or more-are now defending a
given section of the allied line,
the government having announc-
ed that they are stationed on the
Meuse river. Recent dispatches
say they were being heavily at
tackled. Not only that, but they
were getting the worst of it at the
hands of the enormous masses of
troops being thrown against them.
1t is well for America to remem-
Der that these boys, brave as they
are, and we'll backed as they may
be are not yet invincible against
superior numbers. We can only
hope for better news.

FRIDAY, APRIL IL, 1918

The Liberty Bond sale started
off here Saturday in magnificent
shape-the sales for that day
amounting to about $4,000 and,
as we go to press, is close to the
$4,000 mark. The quota for the
county is $24O,OOO and for Cot
tonwood and vicinity about $751;
900. At the last bond sale our
quota fell considerably short, but
our citizens are determined this
time to redeem themselves, and
with the aid of our Patriotic
League, will make a desperate eff
fort to Ego over the top" Our
Liberty Loan committee will can
vass every section of this part of
the county, commencing tonight
at Keuterville.

A meeting was held here Satur-
day by the highway commission
ers for the purpose of receiving
bids for the $4,000 road bonds,
as per advertisement. Bidders
were not so plentiful as might
have been, only two outside buy
ers being present-from Spokane
and Seattle. 1t will be several
days yet before it is decided who
will handle the bonds, but as it
looks now the district will have
to pay not less than 6 per cent
interest.

The raising of poultry and gar
dens is being urged by city auth
critics, councils of defense and the
food administration in every nook
and corner of the United States.
Everything that tends to increase
food production is being encour-
aged. But it is impossible to gar
den successfully where chickens
and dogs run loose. Ordinances
requiring that chickens and dogs
be penned up are to be strictly
enforced this year.

John Funke, Fat Hamlin, W.
B. Hussman and Mike Kedzier-
ski went up to the Hussman saw
mill Sunday and cut a flag pole
that is to hold aloof the Stars and
Stripes and a Service Flag in hon
or and reverence of our glorious
country and its heroic defenders,
that is becoming its dignity and
noble purpose. 1t is certainly a
dandy-1O0 #. 6 in. long. To
Ruff Gentry and Henry Boeckman
belongs the honor Of having haul
ed it, the longest pole that was
ever brought off the mountain,
which is to serve the noblest
cause on earth. 1t took 6 horses
to bring it to town and it was no
boys job to do so.

made that there is no rest room

Our City Council has declared
Flag Day a holiday and that all

WAR GARDENS IN
STATE INCREASE
State Authorities Are Taking
Steps to Help Out People
Who Want to Plant

Thousands of acres of vacant
land owned by manufacturing, coal,
lumt ell and other companies, as well
as large tracts of land adjacent to
cities and held for real estate de-
velopment will be turned into war
gardens" this summer in what Off
Gals of the State Department of
Agriculture expect to be the greatest
movement ever known in the state
to increase foodstuffs. AccoI ding to
reports which have come here there
will he a tremendous acreage of
land worked by nen and women
who have gained an hour of daylight
through the enactment of the day
light savings" law and backyard
gardens will replace many flower
beds.
Unfortunately, no data that would
summarize the activities of the war
gardeners" of Pennsylvania last year
is at hand, but the belief is that
there must have been tens of thou
sands of such gardens. This year
thanks to systematic arrangements
made by chambers of commerce,
corporations, railroads and other
large employers of labor; phiIan-
thropic citizens and committees the
gardening is to be on a greater scale
