Baker & Son “WHERE QUALITY AND PRICES MEET” Harrows, Drag Harrows, Flying Dutchman Manure - REGISTRANTS TAKE NOTICE Men of Draft Age Must Know Law. All persons subject to the draft are charged with knowing the law and accompanying regula- tions, and failure to comply with them will be considered a misde- meanor, punishable by imprison- ment. Failure also may cause immediate induction into military service and will operate as a waiver of any right or privilege which might otherwise have been claimed. All men who have changed their addresses since they regis- tered are advised that they should | without delay notify the county | draft board where they register-| ed of the change made. This i ia| the specific requirement of the law and it will be enforced. On and after Dec. 15 the question-| aires for the classification of the! registrants will be mailed and as’ these must be returned to the board within seven days after re-| ceipt, it is vitally important to the drafted man that his present address be made known to the board immediately if there has, been’a change of address since registration. Ignorance will be no excuse, and should the ques-' tionaire go to a wrong’ address, and therefore” not be returned within Seven Geile; aD Woe fected is immediately; placed in Class 1 and is subject to first call’ to the colors. Onits part the local board is to do everything possible to ac- quaint registrants with their or- der of liability. It is absolutely necessary that each registrant shall know his order number. The board is to mail to regis- trants notices of its actions con-' cerning them and of any duties that they are required to perform and notice of its disposition of | the claims of other persons re-| garding registrants shall be mail- ed to the registrants and the oth- er persons as well. Men subject to the draft have an opportunity to enlist in the Army or Navy between now and December 15, even if they have been called for physical examina- tion by their local boards, accord- } ing toa late order by Provost \ aT), Marshal General Crowder. Druggists, chemists, ambu- lance drivers, stretcher bearers, clerks, mechanics and workers are wanted by the medical de- partment of the army. fee eek : Frank Van Horn Murdered. Frank Van Horn, a former resident of Grangeville, shot and killed last Friday night at McCall, Valley county, a few miles south of here. The shoot- ing was done by Frank Bishop of McCall, who claims that Van Horn first struck him and that the shooting was done in seif-de- fense, but a number of witnesses who witnessed the shooting say it was one of themostcold-blooded murders ever committed in the state. The burial took place at Grangeville. He leaves a wife and two small children. Bishop is now in the Boise jail, awaiting action by the grand jury. No jail has yet been built at Cascade, county seat of the new county of Valley. een! Butler-Bies Marriage. Mr. S. R. Butler, our well known jeweler, and Miss-Birdine Bies of Cottonwood, were married at Grangeville on Saturday, Dec. 1st, Rev. Wood officiating. The happy couple have already begun housekeeping in the groom’s residence in the north end of town. Their many friends extend hearty congratulations and best wishes. aS Mrs. Elvin Parker has return- ed home from Lewiston, where she han been for a couple of weeks receiving instruction in making Red Cross surgical dress- ings. All ladies—whether mem- bers or not—are expected to meet in the Red Cross rooms here to- morrow (Saturday) afternoon to was) IDAHO BOYS IN FRANCE ‘They Arrived Saf Safely on French Soil Yesterday. Just as we go to press, the glorious news is received that all of the Idaho boys of Co. E. have arrived safely in France. Mrs. Cone of Grangeville, who has two sons in this com- Pany, has just received word) | by cablegram and _ telegram from New York that all of the \Idaho boys arrived safely and are feeling fine. Whether they encountered any submarines has not yet been learned. Red Cross Notes. (Contributed) In some of the country schools pupils are hemming towels for Red Cross. The society is grateful to Mrs. Martin for kindling. Mrs. Lee, Vice-president of the Lewiston chapter and Mrs. 'Finch, chairman of the supply department gave yery interest- ing talks at the Red Cross room Saturday. Mrs. Lee spoke very RAR ee oe faattarinely of the splenaia wart done by the Cottonwood branch. | She said the work was both made and laundered beautifully and was a joy to look at. Mrs. Finch gave an interesting talk on knit- ting and exhibited a number of finished garments and explained . the usefulness of each in hospitals, They complimented our Repre- sentative, Mrs. Ora Parker, who by her cheery smile won the hearts of the members of our Mother Chapter. She will be with us this week and is equipped with a thorough knowledge of bandage making and will want a large class. We are glad so many are inter- ested in knitting. Sweaters and ‘socks rank first as they are most needed. The following is Spokesman-Review: Throughout the nation, literally from the |in every town and village, our woman-kind are knitting. At social gatherings, by the home hearthfires, even upon the street- ears and in the churches and theaters we see their deft fingers twinkling in this inspiring renais- sance of an industry that had be- |come almost lost to our day and | generation. Viewed in individual or small group activity the results seem inconsiderable, almost trifling; but translated into massed pro- duction they are enormous. It is inspiring and encouraging to learn from national officials of the Red Cross that already 200,- 000 sweaters manufactured by the chapters have been distrib- uted; that 200,000 more are ready for shipment or already on the way to the troops; and that by January 1 the Red Cross will have distributed 750,000 sweaters so that every soldier or sailor who sails for France will have his body warmed and his heart cheered by one of these fine to- kens of the fine service of Amer- ica’s patriotic women. uo Methodist Church Notes Sabbath School at-10 a.m. Morn- ing worship at 11 a. m.

He waspreparing to build) a brick flue in Jake Captein’s| plumbing shop and was getting a 20-gallon keg of lime ready for the gravel and sand. After put- ting the necessary quantity of water in the lime it heated more, rapidly than was expected, and. | Felix set the keg on the sidewalk in front of the building. As he had done many | when doing this kind of work he began stirring the lime with a |stick, When the air reached the | hot part of it at the bottom, for | | some unaccountable reason it caused a terrific explosion, the, . bulk of the hot liquid lime strik- | ing him squarely in the face and knocking him down, sion was of such force as to throw the lime 30 feet in the air and) covering the fronts of several | buildings. Instantly Felix realized his, terrible plight and covered his) face with snow to ease the burn- ing sensation. Dr. Orr was hast- ily fammoned and everything possible was done to ease the . fortunate man’s suffering. was at once taken to. his siccat and the lime removed from his eyes, wie is left jury was ascertained. eye is entirely destroyed, Bue there is some hope of saving the 3 other eye. It is one of the most unfortu- nate accidents that ever occurred in the town, and Felix and _ his family have the sympathy of everybody in their terrible afflic- tion. Wm. Wagner, who was stand- ing near Felix at the time was struck in one eye by some of the burning lime, but his injury is slight. H.G. Chicane was with Mr. Wagner and was bespattered from head to foot, but luckily it did not reach his eyes. Of Interest to Fuel Users.
