SHUTT ISSUED EVERY FRIDAY And entered at Postoffice in Cottonwood, Idaho, as second-class mail matter. Subscription one year............. $1.50 GK MONENE 6 5 eink is sw aden $1.00 Strictly in Advance Independent in Politics FRIDAY, NOV. 16, 1917 J. F. Jones, the Keuterville in- ventor, arrived home the first of the week from St. Paul and Chic- ago, where he and W. B. Huss- man went a month ago in the in- terest of Mr. Jones automatic car coupler. Mr. Hussman re- mained for a few days’ visit with relatives at his former home in Iowa and is expected home next week. They met with the great- est encouragement everywhere this invention was exhibited, and there is no doubt that it will soon be in use on all of the main rail- way lines of the country. Any- way, it is a sure winner, and the people backing the invention have every reason to feel encouraged. New type and other material with which to further improve the paper, have been ordered. Our object is to make the Chron- icle one of the neatest and best local newspapers in Idaho. We will not be able to print as much reading matter as the papers published in larger towns, with their linotypes and larger plants, but will endeavor to make every line be of interest to our readers —the main thing that counts, It is not always the papers hav- ing the most reading matter that ney most interesting or influen- tial. Many of our people went to Lewiston yesterday to hear the address of Vice President Mar- shall that afternoon. The first four days of the big stock show the weather was ideal and the at- tendance enormous. The rain and mud the last three days how- ever threw somewhat of a damp- er on the doings, but still the at- tendance was good. The downward turn in the high prices of food commodities an- nounced by the food administra- tion applies to wholesalers and jobbers only. While scarcely perceptible at this time, it is free- ly predicted that by the first of next January the effects of the downward trend will be material. Retailers will keep in line with any drop in prices, the food ad- ministration says. Every widow of a Civil war veteran will hereafter receive $25 a month. The pension hereto- fore has been $12a month. No more age questions will be asked and every widow now on the rolls will get $25a month. Uncle Sam looks after his soldiers and their widows more generously than any other country in the world. There are a dozen or more large holes and broken planks in the sidewalk on the east side of King street, also on first side street running east, in the north end of town, which should be re- paired before somebody breaks a leg. That part of the town is poorly lighted, and for this reas- on the defective sidewalks are all the more dangerous. The German command is wise to provide three weeks furlough for the soldier who brings in the first American prisoner. He will need it. He will be in no condi- tion for a furlough. What they should offer is three weeks free hospital treatment.—Ferdinand Enterprise. The Russians will get new shoes, We say it without punning; They’ve worn out their old ones By much persistent running! ———— your winter supply of Dress Goods Underwear Shoes your purchases. es, Golden ee Ever since taking charge of the Chronicle, new subscriptions and renewals have been pouring in at a most pleasing rate, for which we feel very thankful. Without a single exception all of them have expressed themselves as be- ing highly pleased with the Chronicle under its new manage- ment, and say that it is the best local newspaper they ever saw published ina town the size of Cottonwood. All of our ex- changes have expressed them- selves ina similar manner, and we again wish to thank them for their expressions of good will and encouragement. Hats off to England. ‘Holding the seas, holding the western line, holding the Balkan line, holding the Palestine line, hold- ing the Mesopotomia line, the Af- rican line, the Persian line—and now first to the breach in the It- alian line. Wherever the enemy is, there also stands the British lion. We must all forget,: as England has forgot, all the little faults, failures, littlenesses and meannesses each has seen in the other, and see rather the bigness, the fullness, the glory of the race with which the American people are now as one, in hand and in heart.—Lewiston Tribune. The old Indians tell us that this year, ‘‘hornet build him nest low, have ’em no deep snow.’”’ Also the geese have not yet migrated to their southern home. These would indicate a mild winter, which all of us are hoping for. The Cottonwood business men deserve much credit for the en- ergy and promptness with which they canvassed and collected our quota of the Y.M.C. A. war camp recreation fund. ——EEE———E— Wool will soon be higher than silk we aretold. Does this mean that the skirt is to go up another notch or two?
