Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Berg received
the news this week of the marriage of
their daughter Ida to Mr.. Henry Can
field, which occurred at Fesno, Cali
fornia, last Sunday. Mr.. Garfield
owns a large stock ranch at Fresno
and he and his bride will make their
home there.
1t is seldom that the first Of Janu-
airy comes around with so little
change in the official family at the
court house. J. J. Gaffney, who has
faithfully and creditably served the
county as Register of Deeds for four
teen years, decided to retire and Al.
Reidner was elected to the position.
Mr.. Reidner has the ability to fill the
Office and has spent enough time in
the court house as deputy auditor to
be acquainted with the work ard is
bound to make a popular official. He
will retain Miss Elizabeth Miller as
Gaffney and is therefore familiar
with the duties of the Office. Aside
from Mr.. Redeem the same old Off
Gals greet you when you visit the
court house and Mr.. ReiGner having
been in the auditors Office for so
long, he does not seem like a strang-
er.
J. J. Gaffney completed fourteen
years of faithful work as Register of
Deeds of Stevens county last Monday
and turned the Office over to the new
ly elected officer, Mr.. A. F. Reidner.
Mr.. Gaffney did not run fer the Office
at the last election as he felt that he
had held it long enough ard was will
ing to give someone else d chance.
In leaving the court house he leaves
behind clean record and as far as
he knows has been able to please the
majority of the people of the county.
He has now opened an office of his
own in the Spooner Block, using the
rooms formerly occupied by the
Vaughn Investment Company, and
will act as bonded abstracter and
sell insurance and conduct a land
and loan business. Business is al
ready opening up good for him, even
tho he has been in his office three
days, and he is bound to succeed. He
has plenty of friends who will be
glad to give him their business.
On Tuesday and Friday afternoon
of last week steriopticon views deal
ing with the war we're shown at the
home of DR.. and Mrs. Nathalie. The
first series Call to Arms gave an
idea of the draft system, mastering
in of the boys and building of the
cantonments and training camps.
The second series was on camp and
| trench life in France. IN addition,
! twelve views illustrating "The Holy
City" we're shown while that old but
ever-beautiful solo was being sung
Refreshments we're served at the sew
eral functions and silver Offering
taken for the benefit of the Ladies
Aid of the Methodist church. All
who attended are loud in thei1
praise for the thoughtfulness AND
kindness of DR.. and Mrs. Mahaffle in
making possible such enjoyable en-.
tertainments. Owing to the extreme,
ly cold and stormy weather the at.
tendance was small but all appreci
ated the pictures. 1t is 10 be hoped
that DR.. Mahaff1e will be able to ex,
hibit the remainder of the series
during the winter and spring.

Wilbert Stambaugh writes that he
expects to be back from France soon.
He has served on five fronts, and re-
ceived three wounds, the last one a
machine gun wound in the leg, from
which he is recovering nicely. He is
member of Co. c, 18th Infantry.
Wilbert's name appeared in the
casualty list in the city papers this
week, but it is thought that this must
be an error as the Letter above re-
ferred to was written in December.
Monday and Tuesday we're registra-
ton days at the West Central School
and by Wednesday morning there
were 1874 students enrolled. Many
students finished their work when the
last semester closed and the present
enrolment includes many new stud
ems. About 200 are expected by the
first of next week. They have all
been cared for either at the school
or private homes and none will be
turned away for. lack Of rooms.

THE CRUX OF THE MATTER.

The chief trouble in solving thc
strike problem is not Il question of
wages but the character of the men
to be dealt with, and the ultimate
object the strikers have in view The
majority of the strikers arc foreign
ers, men of little or no information,
whoseyulterior motives are cv cmfw
whose Interior motives are evil from
the beginning.
To disrupt the existing order of
society and government is their goal
Contracts and agreements are mere
scraps of paper" Increase in wages
granted today will be repudiated to-
morrow, and larger wage demand

The Call OF The Red Cross

The Red Cross membership cam
paign has been fairly launched. Very
earnestly do we bespeak for it the
complete success that is it's due. Let
our people respond with aacrity and
cheerfulness when approached by the
canvassers. 1t is useful and public
spirited mission that they are on,
and they are entitled to be met in II
spirit of friendly cooperation and
courteous assent. A one hundred per
cent enrollmcnt-that's what is want
ed. that's what is deserved. AS an
agent of mercy, charity and relief
the Red Cross makes Il universal an
peal to which there should be n uni
vcrsal response. The achievements
of the past are the best guarantees
OF what lies in the future. The wal :
fare of the Red Cross against dis
ease and catastrophe and suffering
and want will never end. And as
long as that warfare is waged on
The high plane of efficiency and serv-
ice that has characterized in it the
past, the American people should ac-
count it great privilege to hold up
the hands of the Red Cross workers.
The present campaign is not n cam
paign to raise money. embcrs are
what is wanted-for membership
means sympathy and moral support
which is invaluable. 1t costs only i.

cngc his conclusions.


Six things Mr.. Hoover told the
committee, in which every man and
woman in the country are deeply i'll
tercstcd. And the first Of the Hoov-
or six points is prediction which
should carry joy to every heart: "a
heavy fall in the price of staples is
due" and there will be an early re-
duction in the cost of foodstuffs.
MIR. Hoover is not given to prop
hecy, or to loose speaking. And he
bases this prediction on the fact that
the United States now has food
surplus of from sixteen to twenty
million tons, which can not find a
ready export market. Soon the huge
stocks held in warehouses in antici-

There was no over-eXpottation of

largely due, says MIR. Hoover, to
speculation carried on by interests
which grabbed up quantities of food
supplies for the purpose of making

and they will have to let 60. And no
body cares how much they gethurt

You never can tell when you do an

Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil;
Though you may not knew yet the

ELLA Wheeler Wilcox.

The career of Ella Wheeler Wi.cON.
who died the other day ut her home
in connecticut, affords interesting
light upon the making of literary
reputation. Mrs. Wilcox was Il volum-
nous writer of prose and verse, and
she enjoyed for many years, even to
the hour of her death, the warm adj
mlration of vast following. She
was an inspiration and tower of
strength and comfort to many who
looked upon her as the foremost writ
er of her time, and an excellent
guide, philosopher and friend.
In friendly eulogy of her the
New York Sun remarks:
at was Ella Wheeler Wilcox's
misfortune that she selected the title
Poems of Passion for the collection
of verses which was destined to win
for her early publis attention This
title, rather than the matter within
the covers on which it was imprint
ed, attached itself to her name, and
was associated with her work in the
period of her maturity"
The selection of that title for her
carly book may have been a mistake,
hut that it WAS really "misfortunc"
is open to question. The Sun assumes
that because of the excellence of some
of her poems and the thoughtful char
actcr of Der prose she might have
made greater reputation for her
self upon higher literary plane, but
for that early slip. A critical ex-
animation Of her literary remains
however, will scarcely bear that out
The bulk of her work was of char
acter so mediocre that it could have
brought, only by sheer weight, after
years of plodding, the recognition
which came to her early by virtue 0.
an accident. A Chicago publisher, ia
whom she submitted her "Poems of
Passion" rejected them as immoral
She showed his letter to some friends
in Milwaukee, and she says in hen
autobiography, at reached the ears
of a sensational morning newspaper
The next day it printed column OF
comment under the following head
lines
"Too Loud for Chicago.
The Scarlet City by the Lake Shock
ed by Badger Girl, Whose Verses
Out-Swinburne Swinburne and
OutWhitman Whitman"
The verses were really not "pass
ion poems," at all; and as one re
viewer said at he time, they could moi
have disturbed the mrals of lady
bug. Their chief service was to pusl
heir author instantly into the lime
light, and there she attracted the at
tcntion of another sensational news
paper, whose editor was quick cc
exploit her and to give her at one;
the large audience it must have tai
en- her years to reach otherwise. |
is true that the title of "Poetess O
/, Passion" chung to her into maturity
and at times she was at pains to play
up to it mildly, but she soon came t,
be looked upon as "moral uplister.
So what she afterwards called he
early lack of caution" was hell
rather than hindrance to her @,
making her Philadelphia Re
cord.

of fool talk going the rounds TO the

and increase the cost CT their pro-
ducts etc. etc. All of which is "fool

try. 1t is a disgrace to the farmers
to even mention their name in the
same breath with the lawless gang
who have to be held ana kept within
bounds by Government troops. Farm
ers are not averse to organizations
but they believe in an honest days
work for an honest wage, and they
believe in unwavering support of
American institutions and hold them

hardheaded but intelligent thinking
class. If they make money alright
If they lose by bad crops and flu
citations they growl and grumble
but go in before breakfast to make
another crop.

should be able to induce the farmers
to strike-quit work, close their cor.
