the IeellnS tndt the people are pTouu When the women understand how much real good they can do by paying this attention to our soldiers they will all want to do their share, for in no better way can they do their bit to help our boys who are about to make the supreme sacrifice for their coun- try.
 It ought to be great satisfaction to the parents and friends of the boys of our Southwestern country to know that wherever they go in the United States the canteens of the Red Cross are on hand and ready to take care of them in case of an emergency, and, therefore, we know that the women of the Southwest will welcome the oppor- tunity of establishing Red Cross can teens to take care of other troops that may pass through their own home towns.
 Innumerable letters are received from the officers and men showing their appreciation of the attentions that have been shown them by the Red Cross canteens on their journeys.
 I will quote from but just two let ters to show just how the work of our canteens is appreciated by the army.
 Extract from New Orleans report:
 "I am sure that every one of tue men who were cheered and benefited during their arduous tour of duty would be glad to thank you personally for your thoughtfulness, but. as this is impossible, am happy to be in posi- ton to do it for them and to express 0y sincere appreciation of the efforts

MEATLESS DAY.

Tommy had little goat
 A cunning little cuss, It ate the neighbors turnips up,
 And caused an awful fuss. The neighbor fenced his garden in,
 With twenty strands of wire; Billy gnawed the fence posts down Which raised the neighbor's ire. Tommy knew not what to do,
 He knew not what to say, So father barbecued the goat
 To eat on meatless day.

CALL GRAND JURY TO PROBE
DEATH OF HENRY SOARDS
OTHER MATTERS
oroer Made Last Saturday by Judge Wallace Scales at Re-
quest OF Sheriff L. r. Yates and Prosecutor
T. M. Griffith

Since the inquest held over the re-
mains OF Henry Soards who was .mur-
dered near Whitebird on April 3, the
iaW-abldlng citizens of the whole Sal
mon river country have become very
mllch exercised over the failure of the
ohlcers to bring the guilty persons to
justice Meetings have been held at
whlch people from miles around were
III attendance, to devise ways and
means to secure evidence on which to
prosecute the guilty parties, and some
OF the prominent citizens of the river
country have made long trips to the
county seat to use their influence on
behalf of thorough investigation of
this deplorable affair.
Prosecutor Griffith called number
OF witnesses to appear at Whitebird
some time ago and he and Sheriff Yates
made trip down to Whitebird for
the purpose of taking their evidence,
which did not result in anything be-
ing brought to light that would justi-
fly prosecution.
Accusations of negligence have been
made so repeatedly that the sheriff
and prosecutor finally decided to re-
quest Judge Scales to call a grand
jury which was done last Saturday.

The carnival company that is hold

the bowling success that was expected.
Aside from the merry -go-round which
always attracts the youngsters, and
the Happy Canyon" dance hail. there
does not seem to be much i'll the way
of entertainment A small menagerie
in which are included many-footed
horse, a coyote and bear are billed
as wonderful attractions. The other
concessions are maintained chiefly to
separate the people from their money.
From the standpoint of the Cowboy
band, which is handling the carnival
on percentage basis, the carnival is
all right. The band is rendering an
unusual service to the community and
is the best advertising asset that we
have, besides they need the money
