SHUTT y FRIDAY 1 Cottonwood, Idaho, ISSUED And entered at Po: | as second-class mail matter. Subscription one year. Six months..... at Copy for change of ad mus The campaign for the Third} Liberty Loan will be opened on the 6th of April, the anniversary of the declaration of a state of war between the United States and Germany. The amount, terms and conditions of the loan are dependent upon further legis- lation and will be announced as} soon as Congress has granted the) necessary powers. Secretary Me- Adoo chose the 6th of April as the day to open the campaign as | the most fitting date to call for a} patriotic response to the summons to duty to every American, to ask from the people at home the Lsame fervent patriotism that act-| uates our gallant sons on the bat-| tlefields of France and on the waters of the Atlantic. Every country town has a ten- dency to “go to the dogs’ unless the dog tax is high enough to dis- courage the worse than foolish custom of keeping worthless dogs. We notice by our exchanges that | the councils of nearly every town | in the country are raising the year- ly dog tax license to $5 for males} and $10 for females. It is amaz- ing how suddenly several dozen a town witha tax of this kind. Food Administrator Hoover is| correct when he advises people to | the hog makes What food is required for a dog | will keep a hog. This year’s agricultural opera-| tions of the Inland Empire are not to be hampered by withdraw-| al of needed labor into the ranks | draft plans just issued by Provost Marshal Crowder.

Many aman would be glad to invest more in this government paper if he could spare the money out of worthless dogs “fade away” from| his business. In the first place, | the liberty bond is an investment | for the man who has the money to invest. But not every man keep a hog instead of a dog—as}can buy liberty bonds any more better eating. | than he can start a bank account, keep adding to it and start a time deposit. Just because a man con- ducting a business does not invest in liberty or other bonds is no | sign that he is not patriotic. He may be far more patriotic than the fellow who- blows about his investment in interest-bearing liberty bonds.—Lewiston Banner. winning of terminal prices for the 1918 wheat crop, this is the best news of the year for farmers in| the Pacific northwest. The farm- | er may yet be pinched somewhat) for the necessary labor, but he is) certain of the full cooperation of | Uncle Sam—and that is all that! could be asked. Now for the) plowing and planting. | There is an absolute necessity | * for a further conservation of| wheat and wheat products, and | Idaho, along with the rest of the | country, must adopt the 50- -50 | plan, using only the substitutes | officially authorized, according to} telegraphic advices just received | by Food Administrator Bicknell | from U. S. Food Administrator | Hoover. Mr. Bicknell says he} has no otlfer alternative but to) enforce the rule, and he made it effective in Idaho beginning last Monday, March 11, to last sixty | days. Our town will be full of farmers | next Wednesday, 20th, and a} much larger crowd on Saturday of hext week—the 23d—to attend | the Farm Bureau meetings. Our people will do everything pos-| sible to properly entertain their farmer friends. Even the band | will be out on the latter date to help celebrate the event. | Our schools, churches and ally public places were re-opened the | first of this week, after the quar- antine lasting two weeks, caused | by several cases of smallpox in the town andcommunity. There are no new cases and the disease has apparently been eradicated A stock proposition having all | the ear-marks of a swindle is be- ing worked in some parts of the Northwest by bunco-steerers who |are selling stock for an irrigation project on the moon. Among the |inducements offered to make the stock sell is a promise to establish an airplane line between the earth and moon, to carry passen- | gers for $18 the round trip, includ- ing berths and meals. We warn jour readers not to bite on this swindle. Uncle Sam pays his army men as follows: Private $38, corporal | $40.20, sergeant $44, first sergeant $60, second lieutenant, per year, $1700, first lieutenant $2000, cap-' | tain $2400, major $3000, lieuten- ant colonel $3500, colonel $4000, brigadier general $6000, major | general $8000, lieutenant general | | $11,000, general $20,000. Has it ever occurred to the farmers that since our commer- cial club is always working for the farmers’ interests, every farm- er in the Cottonwood country should become a member of this club? Think it over. A license fee of 25¢ will be re-) | quired of all persons who celebrate | the Fourth of July with fireworks | jand other explosives, it has been decided by the state explosive in- spectors of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. The Idaho state flower is syringa —a very beautiful flower indeed; ‘but we will have to admit that the most popular flour in the Uni- | ted States today is the old yaller Missouri corn meal.— Kendrick | here. | Gazette.
