NEWsBoYs ON BATTLE FRONT
Belgian and French Youngsters Take
Great Risks While Distributing
Papers to the Soldiers.

During the first days Of the war
British soldiers going up to Mons from
Boulogne were hailed by an ancient
French dame with her only British
phrase, Da-e-ly Ma-i-l." She did her
best. Since those far-off days "Da-e-ly
Mail" has been called by the little
Belgian and French boys and girls all
along the line from Dunkirk to Bel
fort. Many risk has been run to buy
and sell the news Of yesterday. One
great load OF copies Of the London
Daily Mail arrived at distributing
center by train just as the advancing
wave of Germans threatened to pour
over the line.
Prompt to the occasion the parcels
were seized by the soldiers and
thrown into the gap. Surely no news.
paper parcels ever had a stranger fate
than to be used. fresh from the press
and unread, as sandbags for trenches
and shelter against q whining scurry
Of machine-gun bullets. Back In Paris
an anxious publisher and thoughtful
cashier wondered in what category Of
"unsold copies" the wagon load should
be put.
Three times the Daily Mail has
heard through advanced line distrib-
uting agents of paper sellers shot by
snipers' bullets while making their
way along the trenches.

DRY FARMING LOOKING GOOD

Delzer brothers were in from Ia
Der last week and reported the soil
in fine condition as to moisture, and
winer wheat looking the best they
ever saw it.
william Delzer operates thresher
outfit and says the yield this year was
about fifteen bushels per acre on the
best farms. Others raised less than
that, but in all cases he said the
yield graded according to the way the
land was treated. What they call
''stubbling in does not bring much
returns excepting those years when
there are favorable rains. The land
that was summer fallowed produced
from eight to fifteen bushels this
year, and farmers are not at all dis
couraged. Some of them believe the
land yields better crops after it has
been farmed few years and are
optimistic.
Mr. .Delzer threshed 21,700 bu-
shells in the Taber neighborhood this
year, and another thresher handled
the crops east of there, but he did not
know how much was produced.
Grain that was stubbled in this fall
looks promising.

GOODING's MESSAGE
TO IDAHOANS

It Is not unusual In q great fight
like the one we have had In idaho
that someone should be called upon
to make sacrifices.
AS soon as learned the true con-
dition In Idaho knew the state
could be saved only through q cam
paign Of education, exposing Town
ley, LeSeuer, and his gang, showing
them up to the people In their true
light.
Someone had to make the fight
for Idaho and / would rather have
made tho fight and lost than not to
have made the fight and won, for.
after all, q seat in the United States
senate is an empty honor compared
with place in the hearts Of the good
people Of this state. There Ia only
one thing worth living for In this
world and that is the respect of the
people. A public servant, or a man
who serves the people as q public
servant and retires from Office with
out the respect Of the good people
Of the state or nation would better
have never served the people at all.
Many things are very gratifying
to me in this campaign, one of which
is that | had the support Of a large
percent of the labOring men Of the
state. Especially is this true of the
railroad men in PocateNo and other
places. The I. w. w. forces have
for years been trying to poison the
laboring men against me. want to
assure the laboring men Of this state
that wherever the fortunes of life
carry me, in the future as in the
past, / shall always be their friend.
For fourteen years OF my early life
I worked for days pay and l know
and understand that IL this govern
ment is to prosper the laboring mans
interests must be considered and he
must be given square deal. What
we want in this country and must
have is q square deal all round and
that Is what have always fought
for, as my record shows.
II anyone thinks this fight is over
because election is past they have
made mistake. / promised the
people in the campaign that should
continue my fight against anarchy,
treason. and rebellion until the end.
Many new people have come to the
state since had the honor of serv-
ing Idaho as chief executive and I
am glad to have them know some
thing through me of the assassina-
ton of ex-governor Steunenberg and
the blot left upon the fair name of
Idaho by the acquittal of Haywood
and Pettibone Of the greatest crime
ever committed on American soil.
had but one thought in this fight
and that was to educate the people
as far as possible to the danger of
such men as Townley and LeSeuer
and those associated with them, who,
1t Is proven conclusively by court
records, were in sympathy with Bill
Haywood and the I. w. w. Organi-
zation--the greatest criminals this
country has ever produced.

the good citizenship must fight
against at all times and accept my
defeat with the knowledge that for
the time at least have saved Idaho

NOW FISH IN INLAND WATERS


In this day Of the lurking submarine
the waters Of the North sea are
marked danger zone for the fisherman
of the Netherlands, and consequently
the rivers and inner seas Of Holland
are thronged with brown-sailed fishing
smacks. all eagerly pursuing the elu-
sive herring, salmon, pike and carp.
Until the boats tanks or barrels are
filed the determined fisherman sticks
at his job. II a good haul is soon
made he may steer the craft up some
canal to an inland town to market
his catch. He gets out the sign,
"Fish for Sale" and fastens 1t to the
mast, draws the boat up to the canals
edge, and is soon besieged by house
wives anxious to inspect his wares.
The fish, as II conscious Of their pend
ing fate, swim uneasily about In the
tank, while thrifty Dutch matrons
follow certain ones excitedly with a
forehnger, and the seller endeavors to
locate the desired fish In the swarm
Ing tub.
On summer evening when 4 fleet
of the good ships has made port after
q hard days work, a fishing village is
one Of the most picturesque sights In
Holland. Sails patched or torn and
tapping rise and fall In the harbor
with the motion Of the waves. The
brawny Dutch fisherman. revived by
supper and the evening pipe, Is curing
fish and exchanging stories with neigh
bors on the dock, while his wife sits
before her cottage mending nets, or
perhaps adorning q torn sail with a
vivid red patch. .
There is little rest for these hard
working seamen and their wives. Fish
have long been to Holland what rice
is to China or the potato to America.
With Its food supply ebbing danger
ously low, Holland looks more than
ever to her fisher folk to feed the
people.
