Revolutionary War Prices

We hear from time to time some
complaint of conditions resulting
from war measures. But before
complaining any more just read
this letter written by Mrs. Abigail
Adams, wife of the second presid-
ent, on June 8, 1779:
Il have been able to supply my
own family sparingly, but at price
that would astonish you. Corn is
sold for 81, hard money, per bushel.
Labor is So per day, and in three
weeks it will be S12, it is probable.
Goods of all kinds are at such a
price that hardly dare mention it.
Linens are sold at 500 yard; the
most ordinary calico at $50 to $40;
broadcloths at 40 pounds $4,000 per
yard; West Indian goods fully as
high; molasses at 500 per gallon;
sugar 81 per pound; Bohea tea at
$40, and our own product in pro-
portion; butchers meat at 6 and
shillings (S1.2O to 81 6Oper pound;
board is at $50 per week.
And yet these pioneers, with full
confidence in God and these United
States, worked hard. utilized every
bit of homegrown produce, and
were content to live plainly for
time.without anarchistic grumbling
or strikes; and the glorious plenty
of after years justified their faith,
carefuldness and patience. We can
look back to those influential pro.
genitors of our present mighty ma
tioE and learn a lesson of patriotic
living which should nerve us to dc
our part uncomplainingly.-Ex.

Juliaetta Defeated

The less said about the ball game
played last Sunday, the better.
The redeeming feature however, is
that Kendrlck won. 1t was any
thing but glorious victory as the
score Of II to l6 would in mea-
sure indicate. kendrick made
enough errors to last any ball team
whole season. In fact if the team
plays the rest of the season with
out making single error, the per-
centages of each player will be very
low just from, the avalanche of er-
rors that were made in this one
game.
Juliaetta played good game dur
ing the first six innings but went
to pieces for the rest of the game.
Kendrick ran in ten scores in the
eighth inning, Stuart Compton and
Garbiel Forest making two each in
the one inning.
Several of Hendricks players
were not in the game which made
it necessary to change the Lineup
considerably, thus taking number
of the men out of their regular pos
itions. Next Sunday the entire
team will be ready to take the In
dians down to defeat and a very
fast game will no doubt be played
Consistent practice is being indulg
ed in every evening this week.

game in a very satisfactory manner

Juliaetta Mill Improved

Frank Vincent. last week COM
menced the work of repairing the
Juiaetta -four mill. A new found
alton will be put under the build
ing and some of the shingles for
the new roof for the structure were
delivered at the mill last saturday
Other repairs to the building will
be made thus putting it in better
shape than it has been for years.
VIM. Burmeister leased the mill
this spring and lis turning out a
very good grade of flour. How
ever, there is not much good mill
ing wheat to be bought at this time
of year and the output of the mill
will be limited until the new har-
vest comes on this year-Juliaetta

Changes in Bounty Law

One OF tine numerous reform
measures enacted by the recent
legislature applies to the payment
of bounty claims which the law
allows for the destruction of pre-
datory animals. Heretofore, these
claims have been made before any
officer authorized to acknowledge
legal papers and who, in the capa-
city of a "de-footre," would remove
the feet of the pelt, which, to-
gether with the claim, would be
transmitted to the Office of the state
veterinarian. 1t has been the gen.
eral belief in many cases at least,
that these feet have found their
way to the capital after the claim
ant had already collected a scalp
bounty in adjoining states.
The new law which goes into
effect May the 7th, 1919. requires
proof of all claims under this law
to be made before the sheriff or his
deputy in the county in which the
animals have been killed. The
practice of bringing in pelts from
other states, if such has been the
case, is made felony under the
new law.
Inasmuch as the practice of de-
footing pelt depreciates the value
of the same in the fur markets of
the country, the sherIffs of the state
will be instructed to discontinue
this practice and instead mark the
pelt by cutting slit on the top of
the scalp the entire distance be-
tween the ears. This manner of
marking the pelts will be in har-
mony with other states and will
have no effect on the value of the
furs when they are transmitted to
market. The department of agri-
culture is now preparing to send
out blank forms to the several coun-
ties throughout the state covering
these claims and all claimants
should transmit same, when GER
titled by the sheriff or his deputy,
direct to this department in the
city of Boise.
1t will be observed that the new
law omits the bounty on bear. This
was occasioned by the fact that
Idaho was the only state in the
northwest paying a bounty on this
animal and these claims alone were
running in excess of thousand
dollars per month. Many of the
Legislators were of the opinion that
we were. paying bounty on all the
bears killed between Canada and
Mexico.

Memorial Service

The Presbyterian church was fill
ed to overtlowing last Sunday morn
ing by the large congregation that
assembled to witness the memorial
service. Nineteen returned SOL
dlers and sailors were present in
uniform to do honor to the occasion.
The Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls
were also present in uniforms and
representatives of the Red Cross
and Salvation Army were present to
take part in the Service.
One Of the pleasing numbers of
the program was the vocal solo,
"Our Flag" by Thomas Mcdowell.
The Bible Study reading was given
by Anna May Anderson. DIR. Smith
preached the memorial sermon
which was taken from Exodus
Chapter II.
The roster of soldiers was read by
Miss Johanna Hooker and numbered
lO2 names. The gold and silver
stars were then placed upon the
church service flag by DR.. Smith.
Lunch was served for the soldiers
IN the church dining room by the
Ladies Aid.

+. M. Runyan of Portland, dis
trict secretary for Idaho and Oregon
of the Y. M. c. A., was in Kendrick
last Friday and held meeting at
the city hall IN the afternoon. The
meeting was held for the purpose OF
making preliminary arrangements
for the organization of the Y. M.
c. A. in the county. The idea of
bringing the Y. M. c. A, into the
county and its various communities
is for the purpose of bringing 1t in
to closer relation with the smaller
towns and rural communities. Kend-
rick was asked to raise a sum of
eighty dollars which is to be the
preliminary payment of two-hun-
dred dollars to be raised later.

Lend At INTEREST

The Victory Loan campaign is
close at hand.
1t is only short time before we
who threw our hats into the air and
cheereG on that November day when
the armistice was signed will be call
ed upon to prove that we are as ready
to lend as to cheer.
A soldier returning from France to
his home city, remarked to a citizen
who met him with a hand-shake:
This welcome and flowers are all
very nice, But how about a job?
Uncle Sam can we'll say to his PEG
pie:
THAT cheering for peace was fine.
But how about paying the bills for
bringing it about?"
Phe war bills must be paid. Any
body can see that. There are two
ways to pay them.
One is to borrow the money from the
people. The other is to tax it out of
the people.
Our war taXes-most of them on
luXurie6-are heavy enough now. But
unless the Victory Loan is literally
subscribed they will seem small be-
sides the taxes to come.
Uncle sam had rather sell securities
than put on new taxes.
He must do one or the other.
It's up to the public.
