brought to Grangeville Wednesday by
William Halford, a well-known rancher
north of town. 1t was load or barley,

said to have attempted to discourage in
vestment is Liberty bonds and war
savings stamps and to have circulated
German propaganda.
The specific action on the part Of
Wagner which brought about his arrest
was his alleged attempt to discourage
army registrants from entering the mill
tary service of their country. He is
said to have told registrants how they
could escape the military.
Wagner was arrested in Cottonwood
and locked in the town bastile, where
he spent the night, previous to being
taken to Lewiston.

principally with theological subjects.

printed chiefly in the Roman states,
were the forerunners of our present-day
books. The book dated 1915 is a work
on canon law.
The library at St. Michael's clearly
shows the great revolution that
printing from movable types has
brought about in boOk-making. Such,
indeed, is a study by itself, if one were
not to puzzle himself with the texts of
the books. Of the book making in the
days of the carving of characters on
rocks and monuments, St. Michael S
does not possess specimens, nor does it
possess specimens of the scroll, hut from
the days of parchment book making in
the shape of hand-lettered leaves bound
down through the dark ages
and the Renaissance, to the invention of
movable types, and then through
the intervening period of al
most five hundred years, to the present
day, st. Michael's library is a biblio-
graphical storehouse.

does not 90 into Glass l of the 1918
registration. Only seventy-one men
now remain in Glass l of 1917 in Idaho
county, and several of these have ap-
peals before the district board. Also
it is probable that some of the men
who recently were reclassifed to Glass
/, and who have mot submitted to
physical examination, will not pass the
army tests. Therefore, it is more than
likely that Glass l of the new regis
tration will be called upon for men for
the August quota. Many of the new
registrants have not been classified.
Men recently reclassified in Glass l are
being called to Grangeville for physical
examinations. The August draft will

arranging farewell reception for the

by dance.
Five men were sent from Grangeville
to Camp Lewis Sunday to make up the
shortage in the June draft.
They are: Frank o. Eckel, Frank

OHIO SCHOOLS AND
SALOONS
"Put" Sandles

Odd fact. Schools closed in
many places for want of coal
and heat. Breweries did not
close. They had coal while the
schoolhouse was cold. Human
society is a curious mixture.
Often we are stingy in the
wrong place and extravagant in
the wrong place. There is no
question as to which IS the more
useful, the school or the saloon.
In the minds of even wet lead
ers there would be a conviction
that even if the saloon or the
school had to close, it should not
be the school.

Receipts in the county treasurer's
Office Tuesday this week were S1O,-
672.15. Among the items making
up this total was one check from
the Milwaukee Railway Company
for their taxes in full in the amount
OF IS, III 20. The Northern Paci-
ic Railway Company paid two.
thirds of their 1917 taxes amount.
ing to 81 2O7.S5. The payment
of the latter amount was rendered
in person by I. w. Miles of St.
Paul, an official of the Northern
Pacific tax department. The Nor.
thern Pacific road claim their valu-
alton as placed by the state board
for 1917 is too high, and are only
paying two-thirds- of their taxes,
having decided to test the legality
of the assessment in the courts.
Should the courts decide against the
railroad company the, county will
receive the full amount with pen-
atty and interest later on.
