The principal part of his address was about the war, and he most unmerci- fully scored and flayed the traitors and German sympathizers in this country. He said the American peo- ple and administration at Washington had reached the end of their patience with the traitors and enemies of this country during its hour of trouble, and that from this time on they will be dealt with as they deserve. Mr. Marshall compared the miser- able traitors to the story of the adder which the man put in his hand to warm and bring back to life, when it showed its appreciation by stinging him to death, He said that most of the trait- ors in this country who are so eager to stab UncleSam in the back, left Eu- rope on account of the unjust laws and sibility to make a living under such government. They came over here because this country offered better inducement and opportunities than could be found in an other country in the world, Uncle Sam received them with open arms, gave them all the land they needed, protected and looked af- ter them with the tenderness a father would show his children, and provided for them ten times a better living than they ever had or ever could hope to have in the old country. Now when he has the opportunity to show his appreciation of the good treatment this government has given him he shows it by stabbing Uncle Sam in the back at every opportunity. Mr. Marshall says the administra- tion, acting on the advice of the United put a stop to treason in this country by disfranchising every man who in any manner—by word or. action — shows disloyalty against our President or government, confiscate his land and other property and turn it into the war fund. “The traitors are to be arrested and either imprisoned dur- ing the duration of the war or shipped back to the country their sympathy is with, through the water where the U- boats are thickest. The Vice President says that all peace officers in the United States have strict orders to arrest all persons, who are known to make disloyal re- marks about our President or govern- ment during the war and force them to stand trial on charges of treason. All loyal Americans are requested to report to their local officers any and all persons who make such disloyal remarks, and Mr. Marshall says that if the officers fail to do their duty they are also to be classed as enemies of the country and will be forced to resign their positions. Verily, from this time on, the path of the traitor will not be strewn with roses. He has had his inning—now it is Uncle Sam's time at the bat. The next registration for the selec- tion of men to serve in the army will include men from 18 to 40 years of age. That will give thousands of have been making a lot of loud noise about how they would tear into the enemy and stop the war, if they were not too old, a chance to get into the scrap. This registration will perhaps not be made before next spring, Among the new enterprises contem- plated for Cottonwood next year are— a firstclass modern hospital, for which the necessary stock has all been sub- scribed; a steam laundry anda bakery. Witb two large modern mills grind- ing our wheat into the best flour in the land, why should we continue to ship in bakery products from outside towns?

Farmers now have an opportunity through the sale of their discarded ele- ments and machinery to make up for some of the increased costs of other materials, Old metal is now worth more than ever in the history of the country, but the appeal of Government to turn it to account is based upon consideration of patriotism as well as profit. Metal is needed regardless or cost and difficulty of assembling. There are about six million farms in the United States and a few of them, it is thought, have accumulated less thana ton of junk of various sorts. Old mowers and binders to say nothing of threshing machines, have been rust- ing in the weather for years because they were not worth taking apart and hauling to town... Now every pound has a price. The babbitt metal bear- ings in some machines, for example, contain tin worth more than 50 cents a pound- Even arysty bolt, with its thread multilated beyond repair, now has its value, and the possible amount of the total is indicated by the fact that the annual implement bill of the farmers of the country is $165,000,000 ——— Beginning Dec. 1st there will be a raise in postage on parcels post pack- ages, which now amounis to 25¢ or over, of one cent for each 25c or frac- tion thereof. On packages amount- ing to less than 25c postage there will be no change. This will have a ten- deney to diseqyrage sending so much money out of the country to mail or- der houses. The Nampa Herald ‘says that a lady of that town has just been awarded damages amounting to $5,300 fora broken leg, caused by a defective side- walk. One-fourth of this amount would build new side walks on both} sides of every street in the average country town. Southern California weather could scarcely be better than we have been enjoying here so far this winter. In some parts of Montana and other northern middle states there have been several severe snow storms al- | ready, with zero weather. ‘ Rubbers NEVER BEFORE Has merchandise been so hard to get. fore the prices are advancing rapidly, but as we placed our order early we are in position to sell you Fall and Winter merchandise at reas- onable prices.

HATTRUD AT VOLLMER-CLEARWATER WAREHOUSE The following froman exchange applies to nearly all country towns: ‘‘Nothing is more detri- mental to the growth and welfare of a town than factional bicker- ing and wrangling among its citizens. No desirable citizen on the hunt fora business location or home will locate in a town that isin constant turmoil and where the citizens are at daggers points over some imaginary grievance and strife. The most dangerous—as well as the most worthless man in any com- munity is the fellow who has nothing todo but devote all of his time in causing trouble and bad feeling between neighbors and friends, He should be shun- ned like a pestilence or rattle- snake.
