There will be just the same local news space as before, the only difference being that sev- eral columns of plate-matter news will be cut out—which the aver- age reader does not particularly care for anyway. The majority of the readers of a country paper do not expect or want to see any other but local news in their home paper. The Farmers Union has just re- ceived a letter Wilcox of Portland, who is at the head of the grain system of the Pacific coast, which concludes as follows: ‘In reply to yours of the 14th inst. you are allowed to grind wheat delivered to you by the farmers in exchange, so long as you do not furnish them a larg- er amount of flour than the reas- onable requirements of their fam- ily until the next harvest and you do not have to sell them any sub- stitutes,”’ The Cottonwood Highway Dis- trict commissioners have ordered anew road opened just east of town, about one mile in length, to run by the slaughter house and through the Schnider farm, con- necting with the old road at the Tony Terhaar place. The object in making this change is to avoid the steep hill just east of town, and will save a heavy haul for the farmers in bringing their pro- duce to town and the railroad. Don’t get excited and throwa fit because there are several mild cases of smallpox in the commun- ity. There were half a dozen or more cases of it in Grangeville a short time ago, and they paid no attention to it in the matter of closing schools, churches, ete. Don’t worry and get excited, and the trouble and scare will soon blow away. Farm help is going’ to be scarce and hard to get next Spring. You know that now. Take the bull by the horns by fixing everything about the farm that needs fixing and getting everything ready for spring work. By doing so now will save you the price of a hired man’s wages for a month next Spring.

When they come to town to do their trading they do not like the idea of leaving their teams standing in the streets not tied, or of being forced to leave them in the outskirts of town. The town council could not make a better investment for the bene- fit of the town—for the amount jrequired—than to replace the | broken-down hitching rack in the street in front of the Rooke hotel, and also to erecta new hitching rack the entire length of the short street back of the Goldstone build- | ings. In the coming Liberty bond sale the county council of defense plans to index every citizen of the county with his financial rating. All who have the evident means |of buying a bond will be given an | opportunity to come in and do so |in the first few days of the drive. Those thus responding will be placed on an honor roll. The others will be given due notice to invest, and such as still refuse will be called before the council and dealt with in such a manner as their case demands. The Chronicle is read each week by every person within 10 or 15 miles of Cottonwood, with the |possible exception of perhaps half |a dozen men who borrow the pa- per from their neighbors and read it anyway. Which proves that intelligent people know a good thing when they see it. pene Aecchienaraney Idaho is going to make use of some of its own resources as a war emergency. By proclamation |Gov.
