~ he deeds OF heroIsm performed

S BE deeds OF herolsm performed
by the soldier boys Of Idaho
In France and Belgium are
among the most striking OF which the
war department has record. Some Of
these Idaho soldiers have returned
home. Others are still on duty. Some
VIII never return. Their bodies rest
In last long, sweet sleep under the
peoples OF the French republic. They
have made the supreme sacrifice.
When duty called they responded
without hesitation and gave to the
world their lives that the world might
be safer.
When we read Of these deeds of
valor and when the eye is dimmed and
the throat clutches as we recall the
young men of our acquaintance who
SO willingly died that we might live
In security, I'VE are prompted to mar
vel at the character Of the heart and
mind OF any who, living In comfort
and far removed from danger, might
hesitate to perform his or her share
IN paying for conflict that has been
SO costly in lives and the monetary
expense of which has been incense
quental compared to the sacrifices our
heroes have made and the benefits
they have conferred upon civilization
An officer high in rank who comes
from Idaho and who has been cited
for superior service is Colonel Lucius
X. Holbrook of the 7th Field Artillery
Colonel Holbrook's position was one
OF great Importance in a notable en-
gagement. Any break there, any mis-
takes, would have been costly to the
entire force. Because he displayed
such conspicuous skill in handling his
artillery group in this attack, and In
subsequent bombardments, preserving
his guns and giving most efficient sup
port to the infantry, the war depart
ment, on the recommendation Of the
commander of the Expeditionary
Forces, has highly eomplimented him.

ANNOUNCE NEW SCHEDULE.
Doctors Will Not Have Wednesday
 Afternoon Office Hours in Summer.

Beginning with next "Wednesday and continuing through the m onth of August, the local doctors will not ob- serve office hours on Wednesday after- noons This agreement was brought about by the medical men this week when they found that since business is suspended to cOnsidera ble extent on Wednesday afternoons with the clos ing of stores, their business has al SO slackened and they feel that it is not worth their while to sit around the office doing nothing on a nice summe" afternoon.
 This, however, does not mean that the city will be doctorless, as there will hardly be any time for the men to get very far between the closing of their offices in the morning and their return for office hours in the evening.
