We are living In an age and an
epoch which is characterized by q
growing and insistent demand for jus
tice and democracy. The United
States is sending men, money and
munitions to the battle fields Of Eu.
rope as its demand for justice, free.
dom and equality of opportunity for
all peoples, and it would be well for
the Americans at this time to remem.
Der that here in our own country for
the past fifty years siuce the aboli.
ton Of slavery, is race loyal. patri-
otic people who are not enjoying at
the hands Of this government here at
home the principles of that democracy
for which we are fighting to make the
world safe, and in which fight God
helping us, we will be victorious.

Now that many organizations have
been financially benefited by entertain.
ments for "the boys who have re.
turned from camp it is about time
that an appreciation of their service
was given them. They have been
grossly neglected.
Rev. M. w. Withers has started a
church of 20 members in Fergus
Falls, Mimi, and Rev. D. E. Beasley
was to help him organize" Strange
bed-fellows. Rev. Beasley was expos.
ing Rev. Withers a short while ago,
and now they are in perfect harmony.
There is a reason. Fergus Falls is a
rich field for charitable collections
and, although Rev. Beasley and Editor
(Rev.) R.. B. Montgomery had reserved
that territory, Withers has camped
there, and, as usual, will build HIS
church.
Rev. Withers covered the territory
of the Dakotas. doing mission work.
1t was reported as "a fertile field,
before he began his journeys about
that state. 1t may be said that there
will be no need Of (collecting) mis-
sionary in that country for long
time.

Judging from the countless preparations

DECISION IN O. P. JOHNSON
CASE RESTS WITH JUDGE

Gooding, Feb. 24.-Sensational tes-
timony was adduced in the famous o.
T.. Johnson estate case trial when wit
nesses for the defense testified that
o. 2. Johnson told them that the
plaintiff tried to bride Chinese cook
to place poison in the food to be eaten
by o. p. Johnson. Witnesses for the
plaintiff strongly refused this testi-
mony and declared on the stand that
q. p Johnson had later told them that
he was mistaken In his charges, and
that there was no such attempt made
by the plaintiff to bride the cook.
The trial Of the case has attracted
the largest crowds and the greatest In
terest of any heard here for years.
Hearing of testimony and arguments
of the attorneys was completed this
week and the decision of the case now
rests with Judge Ensign. The judge
will probably not announce his decis-
ion until the latter part of the present
term. Several hundred thousand dol
lars worth of property is invo!yed IN
the suit the principal part of which
is the famous Home" ranch Of $50

AN IMPORTANT
FACTOR N CUTTING
SHOE EXPENSE

MANY months of comfort at little
expense is the way Charles A. Pear
son of San Diego, California. sums up
his experience with Ne0lin Soles. Mr..
Pearson had two pairs of shoes re-
soled with Neolin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes Il will have to get new shoes
sometime, but so far as the soles are
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new"
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Neolin Soles.
Created by Science to be durable,
flexible and waterproof. these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense. You can get them on
new shoes for the whole family, and
for residing. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, Akron,
Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels
guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

NOW OVER FIVE MILLION.

Taking the report for the entire
year of 1918 as whole, some interest
ing facts stand out in the mass of de-
tailed statistics embodied in the re-
port prepared at the state war savings
headquarters and sent out to all the
counties. In maturity values the total
sale of war savings stamps in the
state was $5,S61,664.73. Figuring Ida
hos population at 100000 this would
mean an average per capita sale of
$14.53. Blaine county. e. =. Armstrong
director stood out well in the lead
with the magnificent record of $29.44 in
per capita sales for the year. Bonnie
Vile, G.. G. Wright, director, ranked
second with q record of SILT: Lemhi.
Fred l.. Viel director was third with
$20.10, and Oneida, j. +. Fredercksoa
director fourth, with $1,000. Shoshone
County's population was figured much
too high on Il basis of it's true popu-
lation Shoshone county would also be
well over the top and it has had the
best record for consistent performance
through every month Of the year OF
any of the counties.
The statistics show that there were
four counties with a record between $40
and $50 per capita; fifteen counties
with a showing of between SIS and
$50; eleven counties between SO and
SIS; and eleven counties below $40 per
capita Power county is at the tail
end of the list, with showing of only
SAG per capita III maturity values,
This would be considerably less in
actual cash.
Ada county had been among the
first five until the end when she slip
ped to eighth place, with a maturity
value per capita sale of $3.50; Ada
county's cash postoffice sales for the
year amounted to $479,S19.99."
The record for counties is as fol-
lows.
