COURTESY BY MAIL

The morning mail came while the
popular young couple were finishing
breakfast, and as the popular young
husband ran through the paper over
mis- second cup of coffee. his popular
Young wife opened the little pile of
letters, cards and invitations beside
her plate. There was the usual col
i@etlon-a "bread-and- butter" note
rom a girl who had spent the week
end with them recently, a card an
bouncing meeting of the Garden
cub dinner invitation. reminder
of the porch supper at the Country
club, a motive of an exhibition of
friends.
The popular young husband looked
round the corner of his paper and
said, pleasantly but significantly:
DO we decide now, or do we wait
until the last minute?"
The popular young wife colored
holly and looked thoroughly ashamed.
We decide now, Billy. I'll write my
acceptances. regrets, or acknowledge
ments this very morning. I've
learned my lesson. When Mrs. ARM
stead, who entertained the Garden
club last time, told me that out of
$50 notices sent out, she had only 60
return cards saying whether people
were coming or nOL-dnQ Sne nduu
the remotest idea how many to plan
food for-I could have sunk through
the floor. 1 hadn't sent my return
card.
Then at the last Country club
supper. (when we had been asked to
let the chairman of the committee
know whether we were coming or
not), / didn't send our acceptances
until the day of the supper, and they
ran short because there were hun
dred others like me. l put off an
swering that formal r. S. V. p. din
ner invite last week until l had to
call up on the telephone at the last
minute-and I'm cured, Billy, I'm
cured.

been so rude by mail. l can be polite
and courteous enough in person or
over the phone, and | can deport my
self like lady at any sort of social
function, but I've been abominably
careless about taking care of my

five YEARS PASS
Since WORLD WAR
NEXT MONDAY ARMISTICE
DAY WILL BE OBSERVED
The Day Falls on Sunday this Year
and Governor Moore Has Set
Aside Monday for Observance

Five years ago next Sunday, Nov
ember the 11th. the glad news was
flashed over the world that the great
struggle in Europe had ceased.
Here in Challis, as in every town
the world over the rejoicing was very
great.
The day brings back to mind the
tragic events attendant on the great
struggle; how each evening the list
of killed and injured in action was
scanned with anxious eyes by those
relatives and friends of the brave lads
who were offering their lives on the
altar of their country.
Have we forgotten
AIN FLANDERS FIELDS"
IN Flanders Fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That marks our place; and in the
sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we
lie
In Fla q 80
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high
If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though peoples
grow,
In Flanders Fields.
Sleep on, brave soldiers, sleep, sleep
where peoples grow,
Sleep on, brave soldiers, In your
places, row on row.
The lark's still soaring in the sky.
Still bravely singing, soaring high,
Away above the lannon's roar,
Scarce heard amid the guns as yore,
Before you slept in Flanders Fields.
The faith with you we've kept and
battled with the foe;
On crimson fields by you we've slept
where peoples blow
The torch you flung to us we caught;
With blistring hands we've bravely
fought
To hold it high to guard you through
the night,
And at the Dawn to guide you to the
Light
When you awake from Flanders
Fields.
LEST WE FORGET.

TIME LEFT TO FILE
COMPENSATION CLAIMS

With the fifth anniversary of the
World War ending at hand, hundreds
Of war veterans of this district, dis
charged shortly after the armistice
was signed, have but few days left
to file compensation claims with the
United States Veterans Bureau for
disabilities due to war service. L. c..
Joseph, manager of the bureau, ur-
ged that every ex-service man who
may be entitled to government ben
eits make official application for the
same Immediately as the five-year
period allowed by the feeral law for
making compensation requests expires
in many instances shortly after No
vember 18th of this year.
The director of the bureau may ex-
tend the application period one year
if good cause is shown why the vet
eran failed to make the request for
compensation during the time allotted.
1.-THE Veterans Bureau is anxious
that every eX-service man and wom-
an know the law in this respect in
order that no war veteran with even
the slightest service disability will
fail to make proper application for
government compensation within the
time limit, said Mr.. Joseph. Gill
ing of claim protects the veteran in
case the war injury or disability, now
slight and non-compensable, becomes
aggravated at later date. The
claim will be on record and the case
may be reopened at any time. The
important thing is to file the claim
within the allotted time and then
make every effort to prove service
connection of the disabilities alleg-
ed"
Mr.. Jesseph also urged that all ex-
service men who have not reinstated
their war risk insurance do so at the
earliest possible date. The procedure
is simple and delay means increased
premium rates as shown by the age
table, he stated. Compensation claim
may be filed or government insurance

BUILDING BRIDGE
ACROSS SALMON
1so.FoOT BRIDGE, HOWE TRUSS
STYLE; 2 4o.FT. SPANS ONE 60
Time Lease on chaIlis Hot Sp'os
Plan Many Improvements

Ira Taylor, the contractor who built
the Chalis School building, has taken
contract to erect a one hundred and
eighty foot bridge across the Salmon
river at point where the old foot
bridge leading to the Challis Hot
Springs from Challis, now stands.
The new bridge will be of the
Howe Truss type and will cossist of
two spans of forty feet each and one
span of sixty feet, and including the
approaches, the bridge when complet-
ed will be approximately $50 feet
long.
The bridge is being built at the cost
of the new management of this pop
ular resort, Frank w. Cummins and
wife who have taken long time lease
on the property.
The construction of this bridge
for the accommodation Of patrons of
the resort shows great enterprise to-
gether with like amount of faith in
this section and is to be commended
and should be encouraged by liber-
al amount of help from Custer county
for the structure will be used per
haps as much as any county bridge
situated off the main travelled high
ways.
Mr. Cummins informs us that ma
ny other improvements will be made
as soon as time will permit. chief
mong which are large, up-to-date
lobby and a roomy, screened in YER
anda which will run the entire length
of the front of the building. 1t is also
planned to use this veranda for ?
dancing pavilion in the summe'
months.
A new mud bath has just been com
pleted and quite few other mlno"
improvements have been made.
There is no question about the pop
ularity of this resort and with the
new improvements being made we
predict a greater degree of prosper
ity for this resort than it has ever
experienced before.
