Independent in 1 Politics _FRIDAY, OCT. 26, 1917 This Flag Will Look Better to You wee Pn By Shee om Hon. D. W. Davis, state chair- man of the Liberty loan cam- paign, in his talk at the Orpeum Friday evening toa large and en- thusiastic crowd, said: ‘“‘The public ig not asked to do much. It isn’t as though a neighbor who never paid anything back was asking for the ‘‘loan’’ of a ham or a sack of flour. Uncle Sam is not asking anybody to give any- thing. He is only asking the loan of their idle dollars—and he never defaults. His word is as good as his bond-—and he is giv- ing both. A Liberty bond is as good as gold and can be convert- ed into gold any business day of the week. You can not make a better or safer investnient.”’ Geo. A. Smith, founder of the Grangeville Globe, has bought the interest of his partner, C. A. Branscombe, and now owns all of the stock in the Globe Printing Co. except six shares. The Globe is one of the very best weekly papers in Idaho and well merits the splendid patronage that it re- ceives. Mr. Branscombe’s fail- ing health makes it necessary for iim to retire from the business. Potatoes dropped 25 cents a hundred pounds Saturday. -They are selling at $1.50 a sack retail, the stores paying $1 and $1.25. The frost of the last few nights is expected to cause a further drop and consumers are expected to be able to purchase them for $1.25 within a week.—Spokane (Chroniclassasse ees There are fewer than ten cases of typhoid fever in the United States Navy since the beginning of the war, whereas this disease was once the scourge of our armed forces. modern methods of sanitation and prevention. It is not generally known that ‘/Col. Roosevelt is blind in one eye. While he was president, during a friendly boxing contest in the Whitehouse gymnasium, his left eye was injured, result- ing in the loss of sight of that eye.

A Berlin paper says that the German losses comprising killed, wounded, prisoners and missing from August 1914, toSept., 1917, totals more than 8,500,000 men. It is said that Russian soldiers are paid only six cents a day. Judging from the way they fight, this is about seven cents a day too much.
