With this issue the Chronicle assumes anew form, having been enlarged from six to a seven- col. paper. We believe this change will meet with the approv- al of of every one of our army of patrons, as it makes the paper more convenient to read and han- dle, and much better service for the advertisers. A 7-col. 4-page paper is exact- ly six columns larger than a 6-col, 4-page paper and therefore—as |the reader can see—contains jabout as much reading matter |and advertising as a 6-col. 6-page paper. Besides, it does away with the cumbersome insert of two pages, which oftentimes is lost before the reader gets hold| of it. However, as the business grows and justifies it, the paper will ke enlarged to meet the g ng | matcer how many es it takes to handle the work. The paper will always be made to fit the business it gets. Our new type and other ma- terial, ordered some time ago, will be here within a few days, and then the Chronicle will look | still better in its new dress and form. A crowded house enjoyed| |\“‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Un- der the Sea’’ Wednesday night at the Orpheum. The Red Cross share of the proceeds amounted |to $35, and our Red Cross ladies desire in this manner to sincerely |thank the public and all who in |any manner assisted in making | the affair the splendid success it| |was. They wish to especially thank Miss Mary Byam for fur-|. jnishing music and Mrs. J. Cap-| |tein for selling tickets for the| | show. One way of helping the enemy | seems to have been so effectually blocked that we need no longer borrow trouble about it. No sym- pathizer with Germany can send money—one dollar ora million— to that country. The govern- ment forbids and prevents the shipment of gold even to neutrals except under a license that makes | sure it is not for the enemy. Un-| | authorized shipment may be | made, but there are warships| | patrolling the sea to prevent! | trading with the enemy, the mails| are closely inspected, and in short all the avenues by which | spmpathizers in this country could send money are so efficient- | |ly obstructed that it is folly to | attempt to use any of them, Much interest is manifested in the public hearing on grain stand- |ards to be held in the assembly |rooms of the Spokane Chamber |of Commerce Saturday, Dec. 10. | This is one of a series of 16 con- | ferences arranged by the federal department of agriculture in the |which proposed changes in the | standards for shelled corn and all {grades of wheat will be con- | sidered. | John T. Ray, the Lewiston |druggist, who was convicted last | week of having in his possession | ‘intoxicating liquors in violation | of the law, Tuesday ‘‘drew” a fine of $500 and costs and three} months in the county jail, and in {default of the payment of the) \fine and costs to serve an addi-| |tional 256 days in jail. An ap-| peal was taken and the bond was | fixed at $2000. ° | ee een Don’t overlook the commercial club luncheon at the Phoenix ho- tel next Monday at noon. This! does not mean that the luncheon might be so light or small as to be “‘overlooked.”’ It means that every member who can attend be there, ~ | now and will be for years to come| jlarge grain growing districts at | Hogs are going th iewarity conta before a great while, according |to northwestern packers, who jare unable to get sufficient to meet the demands of the public. Nows comes along the Govern-| jment and says it must have) | about 84,000,000 pounds of lard a month with which to keep the} Allies supplied. Considerable of |it must come from the Pacific | Northwest, but it cannot be had | unless more hogs are raised. Government experts say they can | not understand why more farm-| ers are not rushing into the hog| growing business when’ it is a| cinch that the price of pork is to} remain enormously high for a long time tocome. If the war! should stop tomorrow it is pointed out that the demand for pork would be just about as great as itis at present, for the reason that the foreign countries are | H iGettstrtrood, Idaho, short of their normal pork supply | and must come to this country | for it. There is no branch of farming today that is so inviting from a money making point of view. Those who are given to morbid | brooding over the dangers that! will beset our soldiers abroad will | find some comfort in an explana-| tion given by Arthur Guy Em- pey, author of ‘‘Over the Top,’’| in an interview in the New York) Times. Empey says that out of a year of life at the front, six months is spent in a situation where the soldier’s chances of violent death are smaller than they would be amid the speeding motor cars of a fair-sized home city, and of the other six months, | only two months are spent where | the danger is _ greatest, while | even ip the m | | | | | | renucoaes the dangers are ftanias only at) intervals, which may be separat- | ed by comparatively long periods of safety. The time spent by| the soldiers in their rest billets | is practically free from danger, except from stray and infrequent shells, and they have little to . except to amuse themselves. 5 —_ ee 3 es oe ‘NEVER BEFORE Has merchandise been so hard to get.

They cannot see | | that it made any difference in the amount you could buy, as you | | were allowed 25 pounds at one | |store and could get 25 pounds at another store and soon. In mak-| ing this ruling the government| | went on the supposition, no doubt, | that patriotic American citizens are not devoid of a sense of| honor. If the ruling does noth- | ing else it will bring the fact be-| fore the people of the nation as | nothing else would, that there is shortage in sugar at this time| and that the proper thing to do is to conserve the supply. | One of the Grangeville printers | | got his ‘‘foot in it’’ recently in| rather a queer manner. One of the society leaders of the town) gave an elaborate dinner party to! a number of friends, and the| | editor wrote an item saying it | | was a swell affair. The printer | by mistake put in an i for an e| and made it read ‘‘swill affair.’’ | Of course the printer had to take | to the woods for a few days. A number ‘of newspaper pub- | lishers throughout the country} have been exempted from army | service on industrial grounds, it} being held that the operation of |a newspaper is just as essential for the winning of the war as | fighting in the trenches. Those who had. been figuring} that we would get through with- out any snow this winter have another guess coming. About ten inches of ‘‘the beautiful” covers the ground at present— | | with plenty of room for more. | The man who has something to sell or trade but does not adver- tise it isin about the same fix as the fellow who winks at his best | girl i in the dark.

If ranges aren’t SUPPOSED to be air tight, why are the seams and joints of the common steel range plastered up with stove put= ty? Ask this of the man who tries to sell you a grey iron and steel range? Everyone who has ever used this kind of range KNOWS how these puttied seams open up, how the range requires MORE and MORE fuel every month it is burned, and the worst of it is, the more fuel it uses, the harder it is to get results. What a contrast to the Monarch—built permanently air- tight by hand riveting its heavy steel plates to the Malleable Iron frames. It does its work just as promptly, with just as little fuel after many years as when new. As stovedealers of long experience we know that the Monarch saves tke fuel that is wasted by other ranges.
