Because: War Savings Stamps must
increase in value each month.
Pledge cards can be secured from

The company of boys who
went out Hallow-e'ening last
week went beyond the limits of
decency and smeared the j.
Appel store front with coal tar
besides several other disgusting
things beyond the term "Praks"
to describe. Their identity was
well known and they were given
the chance to undo the wrong
they had done or take the con-
sequences. They preferred the
former course and were very
busy for a dayor two cleaning up
and replacing damaged glass and
other property. If this does not
teach them respect for the rights
and property Of other people
the law will be invoked next
time. They should be stopped
before they grow into worse

OBITUARY

Chas. Carroll Belknap who de-
parted this life at Roy New Mex
leo, Oct. 10, 1918 was born May q,
1866. Of his parental family, one
brother and two sisters survive
him: Mr.. Fred K. Belknap, of an
Engineers Corps in France, Mrs.
Jas. A. .Forney, of Moscow. Idaho,
Mrs .Chas. E. Holt Of Golf Idaho.
He leaves also a wife, and a son,
Capt, c. Y. Belknap Of Camp Lee
Va.
Mr.. Belknap was a member OF
the Episcopal Church. His lodge
affiliations were with the Masons,
IL .O.O.F., K. of P. and Sons of
the Revolution.
The community feels keenly,
the loss.of Mr.. Balknap for he
has shown himself a man loyal
to the best interests of the COM
munity.
1t was a common though
among the people that Mr.. Bel
knap was an ideal gentleman.
He was identified with the
Episcopal Church and yet he re.
cognized as brothers, the sincere
people of all communions. nc
one held Gods ministers in great
er consideration or ever showed
more respect at worship than he.
He was of a loyal family, being
in direct line of soldiers of the
Revolution and Rebellion, his
father serving as Captain in the
war of 81. He was proud to have
his son so enthusiastic in his work
in the army and if he himself
was unable to go he was satisfied
that the position he was in was
the best place he could serve his
country, which he did without
fear of criticism, or lust of favor,
Every interest of the war re.
ceive its fair share of his help
and the church, lodges and Red
Cross have voiced their apprecia.
ton of him as a helper, brother
and supporter.
We wish to assure the friends
and relations of Mr.. Belknap that
he was a gentleman first of all,
and that this praise is not post
mortum but was a common ex.
preston while he lived among
US. His wife and son do not fall
below him in our respect and we
convey them our absolute trust
in their loyalty and integrity.

The reason for Lopez defeat
is easily understood. He ran on
a platform Of making roads in

sufficient reason for all on the
west end to vote against him,

Election day in Roy was the
most quiet, orderly event OF the
kind ever experience in Roy
Both parties got out and hust-
led for all their votes and in spite
of the Flu and quarantine a good
poll of 223 votes was polled.
Only good natured rivalry was
evident and the first ballot
in a general election with the
Australian Ballot proved that the
voters could handle it more t9
their own satisfaction than un-
der the old system which was
maintained much too long.

Filling out questionnaires for
the older class Of men in the re-
cent draft is now a steady job.
We have had a long list Of
them here who are almost.as old
as we are and some of them nc
better able to fight, and they are
rather cocky about being young
enough to 60 to war while we are
too old. If this bunch goes ac-
cross we shall go too if we have
to stow-a-way to get there and
then help the Salvation Army, to
feed them.
