The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.
People are often very
much disappointed to find
that their family physician
is away from home when they
most need his services. Di-.
seases like pain in the sto-
mach and bowels, collie and
diarrhoea require prompt
treatment, and have in many
instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured
or a physician summoned.
The right way is to keep at
hand a bottle Of Chamber
lain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy. No physician can
prescribe a better medicine
for these diseases. By hav-
ing it in the house you escape
much pain and suffering and
all risk. Buy it now; it may
save life. Kearney pharmacy

who is the leader of the Cowboy
band at Grangeville was in Cot
tonwood today looking over the

best band leader that has ever
been on the prairie. Prior to
coming to Grangeville he was
leader of a large military band
at Camp Lewis.
Mr.. Runnage stated that from

TO ERECT MONUMENT.

Mr.. and Mrs. D. H. Kube ac-
companied by Mr.. and Mrs.
John J. Pulse of Grangeville
were visitors in Cottonwood
Tuesday afternoon for few
hours. Mr.. Pulse is chairman
of the memorial committee
which is organized for the pur-
pose of erecting a suitable
monument in honor Of the boys
who have made the supreme sac
rifice. Mr.. Pulse stated that
at the present time no definite
plans had been outlined, but
that in the near future some de-
finite plan will be given to the
public after which a campaign
will be started throughout the
county to raise funds for the
same.
A law was passed at the last
session of the legislature apprO-
priating $1,000 to each county
with the condition that the
county put up similar amount.
This gives the county practi--
cally $4,000 to be expended on
the appropriation.

TO IMPROVE PROPERTY.

The property around the
Catholic church is to be mater
tally improved in the near
future. At a meeting held last
Sunday by members of the
church it was decided to build
concrete w9lks around the
present church property on the
east, west and south sides. 1t
was also decided to build a
concrete walk around the pro-
perty purchased by the parish
some time ago. which at one
time was used as a baseball
park.
The church also purchased an
additional acre adjoining the
present Catholic cemetery. A
large force of volunteer workers
were bVsily engaged Thursday
at the cemetery in making need
ed improvements and otherwise
beautifying the same.

TO PASS ON STATE PAPER.

The validity of millions of dol
lars of treasury certificates or
notes to raise the necessary
funds to meet the expenses of
state government and to carry
on the program of state high
way improvements is involved
in litigation instituted in the
supreme court of Idaho this
week. Attorney General Roy l..
Black individually and as at
torney general, and w. J. Hall,
commissioner of public works,
applied for alternate writs of
mandate against State Treasur-
er John w. Eagleson, citing him
to appear before the last court
of resort Thursday morning
May % to show cause why he
should not call for bids for the
treasury notes and sell them
forthwith so that the necessary
money will be made available
for state maintenance and high
way work.
State Treasurer Eagleson,
said he was anxious to see the
money needed raised through
the sale of the treasury notes
for it will mean the state can 90
ahead with its progressive pro-
gram of improvements, but like
other state officials he believes
it is wise to test out the validity
of the sale of the notes first and
for that reason agreed to the
friendly suit.
April 8 the state board of ex-
aminers passed a resolution in
compliance with an act passed
by the last legislature directing
the sale of 81, ,250,000, par value,
treasury notes, because the gen.
eral fund, out of which state ex-
penses are paid, was exhausted
and while $2,000,000 in taxes
will be due the state in 1920 the
money is not now available and
funds must be had to meet the
cost of operating the state gov
ernment, paying salaries, pur-
chasing supplies, etc. In ad-
dition there is revenue accruing
to the general fund from other
sources than taxation.

$4,000 to the Cottonwood Mill

HERMAN SEUBERT
SAVES HIS LIFE.
Dayton, Ohio Boy Writes to
Editor Telling How Seubert
Saved His Life in Battle

A letter was received by the
Chronicle Tuesday evening from
Dayton, Ohio from Ormand H.
Thomas addressed to- Editor of
a Newspaper, Cottonwood, Ida.
requesting the address of his
friend, Herman Seubert who
saved his life in. the Argonne
forest September %. Herman
returned to Cottonwood We'd
nesday evening, having been
discharged at Fort Russell. He
was met at Lewiston by John
Meyer who accompanied him
home in his car.
The letter is very interesting
and reads as follows:
Dayton, Ohio.
May Is, 1919.
Dear Sir:
| am writing to you to find
out if you can give me any in
formation about a friend of
mine, Herman Seubert. I have
no way of reaching him unless
you can tell me his address. He
was a soldier in the 91st Divi-
sion and in the battle of the Ar
gonne Forest he saved my
life.
On the evening of September
28th, the third day of the'battle
our company found itself sur
rounded by German machine
guns. 1t was too dark for ac-
curate gun fire and so l had at
tempted to crawl up to- a ma
chine gun nest. None OF he
rest were aware of my intention
and Seubert seeing a dark form
ahead of him crawled on his
stomach until he was quite
close. I was the man he saw
and he came within an inch of
running me through with his
bayonet in the darkness. Of
course cried out and he recog-
nized my voice just in time to
throw his blade aside. 1t was
now that he really saved us
both. / had gotten within 20
feet of where the machine gun
was ihtrenched and he had fol-
lowed thinking I was a German.
When spoke the Hun became
aware of our. presence and
and though it was quite dark he
threw a hand grenade at our
voices. We heard it whistle
through the air and yelling for
me to follow he rushed the Huns
in their well protected ditch.
This unexpected charge was a
success for as soon as I could
see, being slower than Herman
and nearer the bursting hand
grenade I was almost blinded. I
saw the two Huns comming out
of the ditch with their hands
over their heads.
/ had no part in capturing
these prisoners but if / had not
obeyed the command to charge
undoubtedly would be living on
the battlefield today or in some
hospital. I believe you would
know his address and would be
be more than pleased if you
would let me know. Inclosed
find extra stamp.
Yours truly.

DECORATE M. E. HOME.

Several of the ladies' of the
community, called at the M. E.
parsonage Wednesday after
noon and placing fine carpets on
the floors sand hanging fancy
curtains to all the windows and
neatly arranging all the internal
fixtures, gave added fuel to the
suspicion that the young and
unmarried minister is contem-
plating the adding of another
member TO this parsonage.

Standing of Clubs

Cottonwood won it's first game
of the season at Nezperce last
Sunday by a score of 5 to A be-
fore a large crowd of baseball
fans at Nezperce. The wealth
er was ideal for a baseball game
and several enthusiasts from
Cottonwood accompanied their
team to the Lewis county me-
tropolis to witness the game.
The game was fast from start to
finish, errors being very uncom-
mon on both sides. In the entire
game Cottonwood was only
marked up with two errors.
Nezperce. took the lead in the
second inning with two runs to
her credit but in the third in
ming Cottonwood made two
scores followed by three more in
the third, these being the only
innings in which the home boys
scored. Nezperce made one
score in the third and another
in the seventh.
Hermist and Rhoades were
the battery for Cottonwood.
At the end of the fifth inning
Hollen substituted Bettig for the
Nezperce team and during the
remaining four innings Hollen
held Cottonwood without a hit
or run. Hollen has just recently
been discharged from the army
and appears to shave the max
mos of an excellent pitcher.
Hermist, for Cottonwood
pitched a very good game for
the home boys receiving excel
lent support from the boys and
the few hits made off of him
were scattering. Rhoades and
Schober also did excellent work
for Cottonwood.
Kamiah Defeats Ferdinand.
In a fast game at Kamiah the
Indians defeated Ferdinand by
a score of 6 to 8 making Kamiah
the winner of three games and
heading the list in the prairie
league.
No Game at GrangevilIe.
The baseball game between
Grangeville and Ilo-Vollmer,
scheduled to take place in
Grangeville was postponed when
the weather seemed threaten
ing. The teams when they
meet again will probably play a
double header.
Grangeville Here Sunday.
Grangeville and Cottonwood
will meet on the local grounds
next Sunday and a good contest
es expected. This is the first
game of the season to be played
between the county seat boys
and Cottonwood this year and
much interest is being taken in
the outcome of the score. The
baseball rivalry between Cotton
wood and Grangeville has al
ways been very keen in years
gone by and without a doubt the
best team will win Sundays
game. According to word COM
ing from Grangeville the team
will be accompanied here by a
large delegation of baseball
fans from that city.

community in interest of this
Centenary drive. Leaving for
his home Wednesday morning
he said '"The ability and endul-
gence of the people of this COM
