DECORATED SOLDIER
VISITS IN CALDWELL
CAPTAIN JARVIS EARNS MILL
TARY HONOR THROUGH
HEROISM.

Wearing the only distinguished
service cross awarded to a service man
of this section, Capt. Homer S. Jarvis
returned to Caldwell Sunday. Capt.
Jarvis, then a lieutenant, with extra
ordinary heroism, led a party of men
September e. 1918, after capturing
some machine guns, through a heavily
shelled area. In the face of an intense
fire. the party maintained its position
and by accurate fire, prevented the
Germans from obtaining satisfactory
positions. Their position was main
tanned throughout the entire day, re-
firing under cover of darkness. 2
Capt. Jarvis is accompanied by his
wife and a son who was born while
the Captain was overseas. They are
visiting at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. E. Curtis. s
He served with the A. E. F. about
Is months with the 18th machine gun
battalion. He was both gassed and
wounded in the head and arm.
Capt. Jarvis was formerly with the
Payette company of the Second Idaho.
He served on the Mexican border.
Many local men recall him as having
| charge of headquarters detachment
when the regiment was modified at
Boise.

no more cars would be Forthcoming.
Wednesdays delivery totaled n cars.

of the embargo, buyers and shippers
left the field and producers halted
harvesting. Men were laid off right
and left and the labor situation so
demoralized that even with prompt re-
sumption of shipments, confusion is
inevitable.
Distribute Those Aavailable.
Arrangements have been made so
that should any cars be available, they
will be apportioned among the various
potato producing districts on the basis
of community production. This will
insure, it is believer. elimination of any
friction which might arise on unjust
appointments.
i Eastern markets for Idaho grown
potatoes are said to be wavering un-
der the influx of potatoes produced in
other sections and which are now
reaching those markets. Chicago, in
particular is understood to be flooded
with this years crop. While the mar
ket quotations remain steady, serious
decline is daily anticipated.

WATER AND FUN

FIRE DEPARTMENT CONTEST
ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD;
REGULARS WIN.

Barrels of water and oceans of fun
featured the water carnival gwen by
the local fire department Tuesday
evening on the Kimball avenue bridge:
Several hundred local people, attracted
by the advertising given the event by
Orel Sovereign and the prospects OF
healthily exciting free demonstration,
witnessed the battle.
Two teams, one of the regular fire
men led by Dell Royce, assistant fire
chief, and the other consisting OF tive

Shanks Auto company garage, deluged
themselves and incidentally. a barrel
with two power streams OF tire ex-
tnguishing fluid. The contest con
sisted of an effort to roll the barrel

nents goal line But that was merely
incidental. Neither team had any par
ticular design on the barrel and evil
dcnccd little inclination to win the
contest until the other aggregation
was so thoroughly dcluged that they

Caldwell business men had not been
called upon during the season to con-

Vining has been dickering during

Last week, the war department au-
tborized a change in plans for the
nuclues of the division by ordering it
70 the Mexican 'boarder in Texas in
stead of to Camp Kearney as General
Pevton C. March had originally de-
termined. No explanation accompan-
led this order but it is presumed that
the constantly increasing acuteness OF
the Mexican situation is one of the
dominating factors. Locally, it is not
believed that the situation is sutti-
GENTLY acute yet to warrant holding
former Second Idaho men for duty on
the Mexican border but it is ad-
mitted that such a possibility of last
minute changes in the plan of de-
mobilization may occur.
Discharge Men at Fort Russell.
Apparently Fort Russell has been
definitely determined upon as the de-
mobilization camp for the veterans
but no definite confirmation of that
report has been received. That the
men should be home within the next
two weeks if they are to be i'm,
mediately discharged is the belief held
her based upon rehabilitation records
established by former men ALREADY
discharged from the service. About
four days should be sufficient to com.
plete company records and discharge
the men after they arrive at Fort Rus
SELL
No preparations have yet been made
for any program or welcoming cele
bration to be given upon the occasion
of their return. Members of the en-
tertanment committee headed by J
S. Harrington, have decided that it il
advisable to wait until more definite
information is available concerning
the time of their arrival before makinI
plans for the event. immediately
upon receipt of information, the com
