A SAMPLE OF GERMAN KULTUR

We clipped the following from the
Cadiz Record-The following letter
was received from a Belgian farmer
in this country whose wife and
daughter went TO Europe 10 visit
their relatives just before the
breaking out of the war. They were
caught in the mad storm of hell
which broke over poor Belgium.
For two years the frenzied father
and husband heard no word from
them. Finally there has been snug
gled to him through Switzerland
the letter which we print:
my Dearest Husband:
For many weary months l have
sought means by which l might COM
municate with you, and the hope
that ! might succeed has caused me
10 remain alive. Our poor child is
already dead--Gied by her own hand,
to end a life of enforced shame and
degradation too horrible for human
voice TO express.

IN MEMORY.

Z. B. Tichenor was born Oct. l.
1S41. He professed faith in Christ
at the age of nine years and joined
West Point Baptist church, where
his membership remained for some
years. He then moved to West Pro-
violence Baptist church and continued
there till three years ago when he
united with the Baptist church in
his home town, McHenry. His quiet
earnest, christian life inspired many
people to better lives. When the
Death Angel claimed him at ten
minutes past nine on tie morning OF
March the fifth, 1918, his church
lost faithful, consecrated member,
his children a loving and exemplary
father and his wife a devoted COM
panion.
He was married to Miss Zeimar
Dean Maddox Sept. Is, 1869. Who
was true wife and devoted mother
till her death Feb. 1,1909. To this
union were born four children, the
oldest little Vida died April 22,1S76.
The other three, S. j. Tichenor, Mrs.
Estill Tichenor, of McHenry, and
Mrs. n. P. Brown. of New Castle,
Indiana, and seven grand children
survive him. On May IA 1914 he
was married to Mrs. Nancy Stewart
who also survive him. Weep not for
this loved one, for he is now with
the loved ones gone on before.
Uncle Bye" as he was known by
his many friends, loved life and ex-
pressed a desire to live, but aft AZ
realizing the Lord was calling him
home he experienced an anxiety to
depart and be with Jesus. After a
lingering illness he slipped easily
and quietly into the Great Beyond.
He realized that the end was near
and was ready and anxious fer the
Lord 10 come for him. According
to his request the funeral services
were conducted by Bro. A. l.. Mad
dox and Bro. T.. Terrell, from the
text of his own selection. "As for
me, will behold thy face in right
business; shall be satisfied when
awake with thy likeness" The
songs sung were, Rock of Ages"
"Shall We Gather at the River" and
asleep In Jesus" For 81 years
ne served his Lord on earth, now he
reigns with him above. Tenderly
his remains we've laid to rest beside
those of his faithful companion un-
der a mound Of beautiful flcwers.
When the Angel of Death came
for Uncle Bye, it seemed that where
death abounded, grace also abound
ed, for his earthly tabernacle" was
taken down so gradually and tender
ly that he quietly fell aslep in Jesus.
How glorious is the grace of God in
the dying hour!

MORE FORAGE CROPS NEEDED.

Increase of forage crop production
can be accomplished by increasing
the average yield of alfalfa and other
perennial crops and a larger use of
summer annual crops. This advice
is being sent by specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture to farmers in the regions
affected.
The most desirable annual crops
are Sudan grass and sorghum, the
specialists point out Honey sor-
ghum is one of the best varieties
for silage or green feed. 1t yields
heavily and is of good quality.
Sudan grass will produce a larger
amount Of good forage under irri-
CATION than any other grass, and as
il is an annual II is especially SER
viceable for quick production. On
irrigated land Sudan grass can be
sown as late as July 15, but for
heavy production planting should be
made about April l. AS Sudan
grass seed is not always readily OBJ
tainable farmers should make sure
at once of the amount they will
need.
The normal average yield of alfal-
ia in the Southwest is considered
far below what it should be. Yields
from to s tons an acre are posi-
bic. The surest and quickest way
of increasing the average yield If
alfalfa is to see that the stands are
thickened and maintained. Bare
places in fields should be put in con-
dition and reseeded, the best time
for this being February or early
March. Reseeding for the purpose
CT thickening thin stands should be
done when the old alfalfa plants
are making but little growth, which
in the fall or early winter.
The worlds call for food this year
makes the forage situation of un-
usal importance. In past years
large amounts of grain have been
cut for hay, but this plan will be
largely abandoned this year so that
more mature grain can be produced.

Individual Quotas Fixed

An equalization committee consis-
ting of M. V. Thomas, E. P. Atchi-
son, John Wade, N. E. Walker and
Ralph Knepper was appointed by
the Latah County Council of De-
fense to fix the individual quotas Of
each person in Kendrick precinct for
the coming year, that is, the sum
each individual is expected to loan
the government in the form of Lib
erty Bonds and War Savings Certifi-
Gates, and to donate to the various
war relief funds.
1t required considerable work and
some discussion, but at 2:30 am. on
the second morning the work was
completed to the satisfaction of all
present.
The Defense Council is working
out different system than the one
previously used and it is believed a
more just and equitable distribu-
tion of the financial burden of the
war can be obtained by the method
to be used during the coming war
drives.
Everyone has been assigned his
bit and if he fails to assume the
obligation which has been allotted
him. the Council of Defense will
ascertain the reason why. On the
other hand, if the assessment made
against an individual is considered
too high by him, he may take the
matter up with the above mention
ed board and if his claim can be
substantiated, his rating will be
cha nged.
No quota has yet been assigned
Latah county so it is not known
what the quota for this precinct
will be on the next Liberty Loan
Drive. which starts the 18th of this
month.

Threshing Beans Too Soon

The bean buyers in Kendrick are
somewhat worried over the fact that
some of the growers are threshing
their beans before they have thor
oughly dried. There are an unusual
number of small green pods on the
stalks this season and unless they
are dry enough to go over in the
blower, they will run into the bean
sacks and there decay and spoil
many of the good beans. Heavy
dockage when they are brought to
market will be the result. The
farmers are very anxious to save
the crop and it is hard to guard
against the tendency to be in too
much of a hurry.

Traps Fortieth Bear

w. H. Bennett, who is renting the
Bauge Dyer farm northwest of
town trapped two black bears with
in the last three weeks. Last
Thursday he succeeded in getting
one that tipped the beam at 300
pounds and The News is under obli-
cations to him for fine, large
roast from it. Only about ten davs
before, Mr.. Bennett trapped one
that weighed 100 pounds. The last
one he got had three inches of fat
on its back which indicates that it
did not go hungry. In addition to
the two bears he killed a coyote.
Mr.. Bennett is an old hunter and
trapper and understands the game
pretty thoroughly. He halls from
Chippewa, Wis, where he did most
of his hunting and trapping and be-
fore coming west he had twenty
nine bears to his credit. With the
nine he caught in the Occur d'Alene
country and the two he captured
since coming to Troy he has Dicl
Dyer skinned by 80, and if Dick in
tends overtaking him, he will have
to hurry. Mr.. Bennett reports tina
there are lots of bear signs in th'
vicinity of his place, but that it i
dangerous to take dogs in on &C
count of the number of traps tina
have been set by residents of tha
community.

Letter From France

Well, got your letter today and
| sure was glad to hear from you.
| read it sitting in my dugout.
You know l am where we live in a
hole in the ground and it is some
life-lots of noise and something
doing all the time. Keeps fellow
busy part of the time lodging
sharpnel which makes it both ex-
citing and interesting. We gave
the Huns a chase for their lives a
night or so ago. My, l would like
to be home just for tomorrow. Bet
they have fried chicken. l know |
would if had to swipe one.
| haven't seen any of the boys
from around home. Wish | would
run on to one. | think | saw Elmer
Biddison last night but wasn't sure
as everyone dresses alike and all
wear helmets and then it was rather
dark, so l passed him up. We are
in the woods and it looks queer with
all the dugouts around. When a
shell comes our way it would dc
you good to see US go into our
holes, just like shooting into a
bunch Of squirrels. 1t isn't so bad
as long as it doesn't rain, but when
it does, it is pretty nasty as every
thing gets so muddy. But | guess
that makes no difference as we are
in the army now.
Gee! 1t makes me hungry to think
of strawberries and all such gooc
things to eat. Such things as thai
are scarce around here.
This life is different than the ont
| was used to before | came to thu
front. Had horse to ride then
was on mounted police duty and i
was snap. However, it seems a
though we are doing what we CAM

the Americans had come over to
start the war"
In this connection it may be not
ed that in recent speech Prime
Minister Lloyd George reported
Great Britain alone had raised an
army of 6,250,0O0 men. "If the
United States of America" said he,
"were to call to the colors the same

Bought Goats For Clearing g

E. E. Mcdowell has a flock of
sixty Angora goats which he pur-
chased with the intention of using
them for clearing the brush from
his land. They are very pretty and
are profitable in more ways than
one. After short trial period Mr..
Mcdowell has found that they come
up to the specifications for clearing
land. They eat every leaf on the
bush within reach and then use their
horns for pulling the higher branch
es down to them. Thev also tear
the bark off with their horns and
eat it. Nothing short of bunch
of cactus will stop them and brush
is short lived where they are feed.

used the meat for food. Thousands

they can live all winter on the brusf

Opening of School

As previously announced the pub
lie school will open Monday, Sep
tember 16. The building is being
prepared for the occasion. The
heating system is being overhauled,
the windows fixed and the "squeak"
taken out of the steps, the floors
oiled and the building cleaned from
top to bottom.
All students are urged to enter
the first week of school. 1t is just
as important for boys to attend and
start early as for the girls. and
everybody agrees that girls should
attend school. Our country needs
all the trained men it can get, and
the need after the war will be as
great as now. The better equipped
educationally the boys are who are
called to the colors, the more rapid
is their promotion. 1t is being
urged that all young men attend
school until called. Some will not
be called. furthermore the future
of the country depends as much up
on the general culture of the young
men as upon that of the young
women. The rapid advancement of
women into the industries and pro-
fessions, the increasing divorce
rate, and the large number of un-
married presons are due to the fact
largely that the young men have
neglected to keep pace with the
young women in matters of educa-
tion. Many boys and their parents
have failed to realize the import
ance of the education of the boys,
Every young man and boy should
attend school regularly. The cour.
ses of instruction in the high school
are designed as much for the boys
as for the girls. An excellent corps
of teachers has been obtained
Miss Long, Miss Byrne, Miss
Abrahamson and Mr.. White need nc
