this county in the last primary cam
paign. The people of this county
at that primary election manifested
its opinion of this gentleman 60,
fact that probably is responsible,
for his manifestations of displeasure
at this time.
Very respectfully,
Homer E. Estes, clerk
j. j. Campbell
W. H. Carithers.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1918-01-25

eighty-six "unskilled farm labor
ers" will produce one hundred thou
sand bushels of wheat this year.
Because of the scarcity of wheat,
we believe that your careful exami-
nation of each individual agricul-
tural case will be greatly appreci-
ated by the President. With such
action as that taken by your Board,
in the eighty-six cases, deferred
classification for farmers is a de
fusion.
We have endeavored to place this
matter before you fairly and with
out feeling. We trust that we may
work together to better advantage
than heretofore. The people of
this county are patriotic and are
supporting the Government. They
are not trying to shirk from any
service. All they want is fair
deal.
This Board has recently received
very undignified and very foolish
letter from your secretary. The
letter is not worthy of a reply.
The opinion of this Board, held by
the secretary Of your board, or his
opinion of the people of this coun-
ty, is matter of little consequence
to us. When he indited the letter
referred to he must have been in
similar condition to that which
characterized him when he toured
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1918-01-25

production is the last crop season;
and everyone here knows that the
crop production of 1917 in this sec
ton, was not fifty percent of the
normal production.
We cannot understand the action
of your Board in placing these
eighty-six men in Glass !, as Gun
skilled farm laborers." The lowest
classification man should be placed
in who farms all the time and has
never done anything but farm, is
Glass II. Your board, however,
has placed men, who farm their
own land in Class l and has called
them "Unskilled farm laborers."
Here is man who was put by
you in Glass l, although we recon-
mended him for Glass w.
Martin Alexander Anderson,
farms $40 acres Of land, 100 acres
of which belongs to him. He owns
and works fifteen horses on this
farm, together with the necessary
farm machinery. and has about one
hundred head Of cattle. sheep and
hogs in addition. He has 100 acres
of fall wheat planted, which should
produce six thousand bushels. He
expects to put in lao acres in spring
grain, which should produce four
thousand two hundred bushels,
making over ten thousand bushels
Of grain and one hundred tons Of
hay this "unskilled farm laborer"
will furnish the world in the event
he is not taken away as a soldier.
We believe this man is a necessary
managing and directing head of a
necessary agricultural enterprise,
and that he should have been placed
in Glass w. This man never did
any other work in his life but farm
work, and he has worked all his
life on the farm. yet to the District
Board he is nothing more nor less
than an "unskilled farm laborer."
The Anderson case is cited mere
ly because Mr.. Anderson has just
called and his grievances are in
mind. You absolutely violated both
the letter and spirit Of the rules,
we believe, in this case, and you
surely could not have given this
case any consideration.
1t is not practicable to take up
and discuss each of the eighty-six
cases. We respectfully suggest,
however, that the District Board is
in error in the classification made
with respect to all, or nearly all of
them. This statement is made
after careful examination of the
different questionaires.
The worst feature of the whole
ruling is that your Board was unan-
imous in the vote on the classical
ton, fact which probably deprives
these men of the right to appeal.
In view, therefore, of the import
ance of your decision, we most re-
spectfully urge that hereafter either
a very careful examination be made
OF each case, or that at least one
member vote in the negative in each
case, so that the President who ap-
preciates the value to the country
OF the raisers of wheat, can consid-
er this important question on it's
merits.
1t is estimated here that these

Ed DE[AHOYDE FAMILY
GONE TO CALIFORNIA

Mrs. Edwin Delahoyde, daughter
Dorothy and son, John, departed
Monday morning for California,
where they expect to spend the
winter. Mr.. Delahoyde remains
until later in the season to look af-
ter business affairs but the family
go thus early to get the young peo-
pie in school. They will live tenn
porarily with Mrs. Delahoyde's sis
ter in Los Angeles until they find
satisfactory quarters. s
The Delahoydes have been a fix
ture of Extra for many years and it
is with the greatest regret that
their departure is anticipated. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Delahoyde have been
active to a marked degree in the
public welfare of the community
and they are bound to leave a void
that can never be filled. Dorothy
and John are both popular in school
and will be greatly missed. We un-
derstand Mr.. Delahoyde does not
sever his connection with the Ex-
change Bank but makes the change
because Of the rigor Of Iowa win
tiers; hence we shall hope that, at
least the warmer portions Of the
year may be spent in Extra. Hosts
of faithful friends bid them God
speed.

The GREAT RED CROSS
WOODWORKING BEE

MIR. Keese Hallock of California,
who owns a large body Of timber
near Brayton in this, Audubon,
County, offered the Red Cross
Chapter Of Extra township all the
wood they could cut and haul away
in one day. Accordingly, the Bee"
was advertised for Monday last and
about one hundred eighty men and
teams appeared and commenced
operations. By noon they had eight
acres cut and the most of it hauled
away. Farmers came from six to
eight miles, loaded their wagons,
had the wood appraised at the gate,
settled for it, went home with it
only in many cases to return for
another load.
About one hundred forty loads
were sold in this way; they run
from $2.75 to $3.50 per load and all
were satisfied. The result was near
$500. All express their thanks to
Mr.. Hallock for his generous don
alton.

LISTED, YESTERDAY

Harold, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.

ing to get it out before Harold de-

its alright, the boys are in a good
cause"

FOR FIVE HOURS We
CELEBRATED REPORT

Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing we celebrated, with every noisy
device imaginable, the war reports
that came over the phone to the
effect that Germany had laid
down their arms and asked for
Peace" We took it for fact and
the bells began to ring, the autos
began to run with their loads Of
happy crowds, bon fires were kin
died and everybody was whistling
or yelling, so happy we're we all.
An old wagon was fed to the flames
and when about to die down Mr..
Hans Hansen, one Of our garage
men, donated an old automobile
and it too went up in smoke. When
all were nearly tired out the Audu-
bon band and a good sized delega-
ton made its appearance, then mu-
sic by the band and the shot gun
brigade made night happy until
four o'clock, Sunday morning.
Since that we have discovered
that Germany has not laid down
her arms and that her peace pro-
posals are all conditional. Damn
