SOLDIER BOYS IN FRANCE
ANXIOUS TO COME HOME


The following letter was received
this week by DR.. 4. E. Fry from John
II. Johnson, No. 3130S46, 334 Butchery
Company, A. E. F., France, dated De-
cember 9Th:
Dear Friend:
Am dropping you a few lines to let
you know that haven't forgotten you
although | have not been able to write
since arriving in France am feeling
fine and have nothing much to do. I
am in Limoges which is a rather
large town of about 10000 inhabi-
tants. Lumber is very scarce and all
the buildings are made of stone and
most of the places have stone wall
around them, six to eight feet high,
with green vines and flowers growing
on the walls.
The French people have certainly
had a hard time of it since the war
started: there are very few young men
to be seen and most of them are Grip
pied or wounded The weather.
class of people live pretty good yet
but the poor class have hard row to
hoe. The rich people wear good
stylish clothes but the poorer class
wear almost anything they can get
hold of; and shoes are sure high
A good pair of shoes cost from 40 tC
so francs lin American money it would
be $500 to $4,000. Most all the poor
people wear wooden shoes or shoes
with wooden soles and leather tops. i
sure looks funny to see all the people
wearing wooden shoes.
There is one thing that is plentiful
here and that is wine, beer and whisk
ey. A bottle of wine costs 40 cents
beer Is cents and Whistles cost from
10 to 20 cents per glass. The Frencl
people wouldn't live long withou
their wine: they never have tea or cot
fee at a meal-always wine. Mos
, of them get piece of bread and go in
to saloon and get bottle of win
and make a meal on that and nothin

ment from Governor Davis some time
ago when he was named private sec
rotary to the governor. 1t is under
stood that this is a temporary APP
pointment and that Mr.. White will be
retained as pure food commissioner
of the state. The second appointment
was that of Captain A. H. Wilson of
Clarksfork, Bonner county, as adju-
tant general to succeed Charles S.
Moody. Capt Wilson was deputy pure

were 4S applications for the office.
On Saturday, John w. Graham, pres
ident of the public utilities commits
sion, declined to accept reappointment
from Governor Davis because he felt
that he should take advantage of a
banking business opportunity in Ne
braska.

Ditch Stolen Automobile

Sheriff Dunning is holding an eight
cylinder Cole automobile, worth $1,000,
waiting for word from the owner, Mrs.
NJ. NJ. Cohen. of Spokane. The car
was driven through here a week ago
last Sunday by three young men who
were on their way to Montana points.
They got on the wrong road and ran
the car in the ditch and abandoned it,
The doors of the car were left open
and the water in the radiator froze.
1t appeared as if the car had been left
quite hastily and it is very likely that
il was stolen in Spokane. Sheriff Dun
ming learned the name of the owner
by sending the license number to the
secretary of state of Washington. al

not many died from it. They would

mail since I have been in France and
get from three to five letters every
week. A letter from home goes long
ways towards cheering us up.
81 am sure getting tired of France
and hope to be back home in two or
three months. We came over as
butchers but there has only been few
men cutting meat and the rest of us
have been doing anything that came

WIN Support Anti.iIIIterate Law

County School Superintendent Mrs.
C. w. Flood returned last week from
Boise where she attended the state
county superintendent convention.
The most important matter discussed
was the so-called Smith educational
bill under which aliens are taught at
night school in the several school dis
tricts at the expense of the district.
The convention went on record in
favor of the legislation. According
to the terms of the proposed bill aliens
will be compelled to attend the night
school for English subjects. When
illiterates are not sufficient in number
within a district, to pay for night
teaching, they NAV be sent to another
districts night school by the payment
of tuition.

COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT DEAD
Passed Away Yesterday Morning-To
Be Buried Tomorrow Afternoon

Theodore Roosevelt, ex-president of
the United States and one of the great
est statesmen of this country, died at
his home at Sycamore Hill, Oyster
Bay, ~ j., early yesterday morning.
The burial will be had in the Young
Memorial cemetery tomorrow after
noon. The services will be simple
and will be conducted by Rev. George
E. Talmage, of the Christ Episcopal
church. There will be no flowers, no
music and no eulogy in conformance
with the expressed wishes of the de-
ceased.
Col. Roosevelt's death was due to a
blood clot lodged in one lung, the re-
suit of rheumatism. He had suf-
fered from rheumatism for two months
but his condition was very satisfactory
and no one had any idea that the end
was so near.

Question Marriage Fees

During the term just ending, Probate
Judge H. f. Henderson has performed
81 marriage ceremonies, 13 of which
he performed as a minister of the
gospel and IA as probate judge. The
firm which is now auditing the books
of the county has brought up the point
of whether or not Judge Henderson
may legally retain fees paid him for
performing marriages when he does
this service as a minister of the Cos
pei The auditing firm holds that
Judge Henderson should turn all mar
riage fees over to the county. Judge
Henderson has asked the county at
torney and attorney general of the
state for an opinion and if he has been
in error will at once turn over TO the
county the fees he received for the 13
weddings performed as a minister
Judge Henderson states that he al
ways asks parties desiring to be mar
ried whether they want him to marry
them as a county officer or as a min
lister. Some want the services of q
minister and some desire him TO wed
them as a probate Judge. He says he
had no idea that there was any quest
ion but that he could marry people as
a minister although he holds the office
of probate judge and that if he has
been in error he will most certainly
hasten to return the money to the
county.

No More Saturday School

At the meeting of the school board
of Independent School District No.
which was held last night, it was de-
cided that the holding of school on
Saturdays should be discontinued after
this week and that instead of the Sat
urday school the term would end a
week later. This will bring the close
of the public schools on June 18th,
adding five instead of four extra weeks
to the usual term The heightened
term was necessitated on account of
the schools being closed so long at the
time of the Spanish influenza epidemic
