THE COST OF WAR

Bread riots in Germany are a COM
mon occurrence. Men, women and
children are fighting for few morsels
of food, in order to keep body and
soul. together. Officers are clubbing
the crowds of hungry folk who protest
against the high cost of food. Wages
are miserably low.
The value of the mark has fallen
to practically nothing. Before the
war, the mark was worth 2S.S cents
in U. S. money. Now, 480 million
marks are required in Germany to
purchase 4-pound loaf of bread. Ger
man postage, which, before the war,
would have amounted to $3.50, is now
required to send letter from Ger
many to America. A mark may be
said to be worth nothing. A million
of them, therefore, also are worth moth
ing. million marks, of course, have
some purchasing value, but it Is slight.
By comparison, a single mark may be
said to have no purchasing power
whatever.
Such is the price Germany is pay
ing, five years after the close of the
most terrible war in all history. This
war Germany precipitated upon the
world. She suffered immeasurably in
loss of life and treasure during the

ntiug to the support of two old men,

charges, because of infrmities Of age.
These Cinnamon are as interesting

placer camp of Pierce for almost sixty
years. Neither had ever seen a rail-
road train. until the two started on
their return journey to China.
Coming to the mining camp when

have labored over the sluice box for
more than a half century, and would
not have been county charges, had
they not become too decrepit for fur

longer useful, Clearwater county, by
purchasing for them tickets to China,
is passing the buck to the land OF
their nativity in the matter OF their
support. True, they are not citizens
of the United States. But they have
spent their useful days here, in one
locality. They may have preferred to

SLOW ROAD BUILDING

Slowness with which highway con-
struction is proceeding between the
mouth of Whitebird creek and Lucille
has worked a great handicap on the
people of the Salmon river country.
After more than a year on the job,
the contractors have made far from
satisfactory progress, and If the re-
manning work is permitted to lag as
has that which has already been done,
it will be another year before the job
Is finished.
Just what is the trouble on this job
what has caused the delay-has not
been explained to the satisfaction OF
the public, either by the state depart
ment of public works or the highway
contractors.
Suffice is to say that here is a
highway contract which, if it had been
awarded to firm such as Grant Smith
& Co., would have long since been
completed. This company had one big
contract in the Salmon river country,
and built the best piece Of road in
central Idaho, at a minimum OF in
convenience to the travelling public.
