Faria set etek cay $1.00 Strictly in Advance Independent in Politics . The members of the local fire department at an enthusiastic meeting held in their hall Sunday afternoon’ perfected arrange- ments fora gymnasium to fur- nish entertainment for the fire- fighters. Among the parapher- nalia will be boxing gloves, punching bag, trapeze and a number of other athletic articles. The fire department boys are en- titled to all kinds of credit and praise for the excellent work they do. No matter at what hour of the day or night or how bad the weather they are always the first to respond at the sound of the fire bell—and with never a thought of pay of any kind or for the clothing usually soiled during afire. Fire department boys do not always get the thanks and credit they deserve, There is talk of calling a spe- cial session of the Idaho legisla- ture for the enactment of laws to handle effectively pro-German propaganda in each community of the state. It looks like this would be money well spent toward the successful conduct of the’war. Idaho seriously needs the laws that are lacking to meet the war crisis, and, once they are framed, it should take little de- bate and time to pass them,— Nezperce Herald. Johnny Baer, the well known cattle buyer, returned home Tuesday from a week’s trip through the Salmon river coun- try. Mr. Baer says the cattle- men of that section never felt more encouraged than they do this fall, with the prospects for a short mild winter, good prices for stock and the grass better than they ever saw it at this sea- son of the year. We notice by our exchanges from all over the Northwest that the price of good 16-inch wood is from $4 to $5acord, delivered. Just why timber and wood in this part of the country is so much better that its value is nearly double that from any other place is difficult to figure out. If the war is to blame for it, why let’s stop the war. The Electric Light Co. is en- titled to the thanks of everybody for the new light system just installed here. By this change the lights all over town are just as strong as those in the business district. It surely isa change that is much appreciated by all—especially those living in the outer edge of town. German bullets are beginning to reach some of the Western boys. On Nov. 20th while in ac- tion on the French front two American privates were shot—- Harry L. Miller of Baker, Ore., was killed and Harry C. Watkins of North Bend, Ore., severely wounded. A larger number than usual I] were present at the commercial club luncheon at the Phoenix hotel Monday noon. Several matters of interest to the town and vicinity were discussed— principally road business. No doubt many people ‘‘took on"’ such a gorge that they will feel ashamed to look another tur- |key in the face for another year. | [Semon tema Geeomeememnmd Geol = NEVER BEFORE Has merchandise been so hard to get.

PARKER & PARKER ‘‘The Most of the Best for the Least’’ —— oS ___—_—_ I —_— oo Under the above head the Oro- Pr incess : : Camas Tepee Brands fino Republican says: Reports from the rural sections Made Exclusively by Vollmer Milling Company of this county indicate a decided A HOME PRODUCT al slump inthe price of hay, and those who have been laying awake nights figuring on how they would reap a fortune from $50 a ton for their hay, will, if the present mild weather contin- ues, be seeing things that will not go far towards paying taxes or buying that new Ford. Some are reported to be now holding in this section for as much as $45 and $50, and expecting to get it. Greed may be as unkind to the fellow who is holding hay fora price that makes it impossible for poor people, at least, to feed a family cow. It would be a crime for hay to go above present prices, and a mercy if the bot- tom, because of an open winter, should fall completely out of the hay market, and stock food go begging for buyers. The farmer who hoards hay is just as bad as the big fellows who hoard it or any other necessity of life, and deserves the severest condemna- tion from the press, the people and the government. What is the difference? How are you to make fish of one and fowl of the other? Both are human hogs, the motive greed, and the results the same. There should be no escape. The government must control all or nothing. It is rank injustice to let the hay hogs es- cape. A hog’s a hog—whether he has four legs or two. ‘Are now on sale at $9.60 for Camas and $9.00 for Tepee per bbl. Princess $10.40 a bbl. —CALL Q0N——— J. B.
