All precincts of the five counties will be com- machinery can be quickly put in- counties will be handled with full endorsement of the county coun- cils of defense. M.M. Belknap of the German State bank of Cot- tonwood represented this county at the meeting. A dispatch ‘from Lakefield, dated Feb. 11th, says: Warrants were issued here to- night charging A. C. Townley, president of. the Non-Partisan league, with conspiring to dis- courage enlistments in the mili- forces of the seph Gilbert, secretary and organ- ization manager, of the same Minnesota statute covering dis- loyalty. ‘Warrants were imme- | diately served on Gilbert and it}. \is expected that Townley will be placed under arrest tomorrow. Later: Gilbert was found guilty ane sentenced to three months in jail. be a great scarcity of farm labor- ers, this season, and thinks it would not be a bad stunt for our commercial club to act as sort of encourage laborers for the farm work here this year. Mel says he needs a man right now, and so do many of his neighbors, who would give them steady employment all spring and summer, at better | wages than ever before heard of Se Most of the principals who were advertised to pull off some ath- letic stunts—wrestling, boxing, | etc., at the Firemen’s gymnasium | last Sunday, failed to show up, | giving asa reason they were not) trained sufficiently yet for public exhibitions. But they are’ busy training with a desperation that will make the “show” worth com- ing miles to see when they do get ready. Watch this paper for the date. The opinion is ‘general that an} extra session of the legislature would be an-unnecessary expense at this time. The Sandpoint Re- —|It must be saved.

[Orofino Republican] The time has come when the last pound of flour must be saved. willing to eat corn and rice and other substitute breads, or prove ourselves unpatriotic. If you have flour stored or hoarded, di- vide with others, not by giving it away, but sell it. If there. shall be evidence of . hoarding then the government is most likely to con- fiscate and punish those who are caught. This is a most serious matter, and it is practically treas- on to ignore the request of the Government Food Administra- tion at this time. A number of prominent eastern people were fined heavily recently for hoard- ing sugar—besides they lost the sugar, The fact that we are at war is beginning to come home to the American people most terribly. And we must understand that we must win this war or be crushed and destroyed by the most terrible and bloodthirsty power that ever waged war for conquest and sel- fish ends. Unless we win we will suffer the fate of France, Belgium and Serbia, Unless we win American womanhood must per- ish, suffering the fate of European women in conquered territory. We are right now fighting for all that is dear in life. Our government finds that the millions of dollars’ worth of Ger- man bonds:held by German sym- pathizers in this country are caus- ing no end of trouble by encour- aging disloyalty and boosting for the Kaiser by the people holding these bonds. _ The disloyal people holding such bonds know that if Germany loses the fight, these bonds will be worthless—hence their loud shouting for our ene mies. Therefore, Council of De- fense officers throughout the U. 8. have been ordered to begin the work of collecting and confiscat- ing all German government bonds held in this country. No doubt this will have a most soothing jand quieting effect upon these “patriotic” bondholders. L. L. Howell, Sergeant of the U.S. Marine Corps of Spokane, has requested that all of the newspapers of the Northwest pub- lish the following notice: “Reg- istered men may enlist in the Marine Corps with a release from their local board stating their or- der number is so low, they will not be needed to fill any deferred percentage of the current quota.” As proof that Bloody Bill the) Kaiser is not so easy with traitors as Uncle Sam is, placards are hung in all public places in Ber- lin and other German cities con- taining this notice: “Reward— Three thousand marks to anyone giving information of persons who say anything against the govern- ment, the emperor, the war or the officers.”’ The Rev. Frank Norris says the delivery of Jerusalem presages the second coming of Christ and | the end of the world. We ie the world will not come toan jend until America administers to Germany the most thorough thrashing any nation ever receiv- | ed since the dawn of time.—Hous- ton Post.
