This work was begun Nov. 1st, delay caused by break downs, and | | | | SS Cottonwood boys on the honor roll, and each one is represented by astar on the Service Flag to be dedicated here next Tuesday. From the tropical islands of the Pacific ocean to the front line trenches in France, these boys are distributed in the various branches of the army and navy service. Photos of nearly all of these boys appear in a frame in the Parker store window. As per program published on another page, the Cottonwood Service Flag will be raised with appropriate ceremonies next Tues- day, April 16—that being the first anniversary of the date the boys of Co. E left here for Boise. This list will grow as others en- list or are drafted into the service, and the Service Flag will soon contain more stars, Extra stars have been ordered for this pur- In addition to the Service Flag the town recently purchased a magnificent National flag, size 12x20 feet, which is to fly from the same pole every day between sunrise and sunset, The 102}-ft. pole will stand in the square at the foot of Broad- way street—the most suitable place in town for it—as it can be seen best there from the depot as | well as from every other direction. | It will stand in 6 or 8 feet of con- crete and be thoroughly braced. At the proper time in the cere- monies both flags will be raised by old veterans of the civil war who are present. Only three of the “old boys” are left in this vi- cinity—A. B. Rooke, S. L. Trip- lett and I. M. Julian. Should any others be present they will be expected to take part in it.

But since not all of the mothers can be present, and most of these asked to be excused from the perform- ance of so solemn a duty, the Raising of Service Flag Will Float to the Breeze From 103-ft Paie Next Tuesday, 16th. PATRIOTIC PROGRAM—JUDGE “AILSHIE TO DELIVER ADDRESS Jesse Robertson Arthur Rice Chester Rhett Jesse Rogers Vern South Bert Schroeder Perey Shutt Roy Tefft Paul Terhaar Sid Triplett 3 Fred Von Bargen Fred Johnson William Asker James G, Clark August Zodrow Ira Robertson Ernest Bolon Fred Bolon Chester Westling Joseph F. Nuxoll Tom Vinsen Lee Martin E. I. Gunter “Old Vets’”—who are more accus- tomed to such work, will have the honor of doing so. It is exceptionally unfortunate that Mrs. John Funke, who has three sons in the service (the rec- ord from one family in the coun- ty) can not be present at the flag- raising, owing to smallpox in the family, herself being one of the patients. A platform will be erected on the north side of the street be- tween the pole and_ sidewalk, large enough for the school chil- dren’s exercises, the band, glee club, and where Judge Ailshie will deliver his patriotic address. The Oliver building next to the meat market is being fitted up for a rest-room for the ladies, and everything possible will be done to properly take care of the tre- mendous crowd that is sure to be present. The girls of the Junior Red Cross of the Cottonwood Public will conduct a stand on the street on that day, and will sell peanuts, popcorn and punch, the net pro- ceeds to go to the Junior Red Cross. Our Flag Day Committee on Arrangements has very properly invited the trustees of all of the country schools in this vicinity to close the schools next Tuesday and come to town with as many of the children as possible. The invitation should and no doubt will be accepted by all of them. Our Flag Day committee on decoration, as well as our Patriot- ic League, desires that, if possible, every occupied dwelling house and business house in town be deco- rated next Tuesday with a flag or bunting—out of respect for this great and patriotic occasion. The City Council has declared Flag Day a holiday and requests that all business houses be closed between the hours of 10 and 5. If the weather is stormy the program will be given at the Orpheum theatre. See program elsewhere ini this issue. | Women to Canvass for Li men to _ ot Liberty FIRST CALL OF Mrs. G.

The board of county commis- sioners in session at Grangeville this week refused to makean ap- propriation of $2,000 to pay the salary of a county agent for Idaho county. The reason given is be- cause of the lateness of the season acounty agent could not be of material aid to the farmers this year, and the board felt uncertain’ as to whether a majority of the people of the county are in favor of an agent. The matter may be put to a vote at the coming elec- tion. cociianeneghemtbeiie’ Dance at Independence School The Junior Red Cross will give a dance at Independence school- house at Greencreek on Saturday night, April 20.

He inform- ed us that at a dance and auction sale given last Friday night at the Canfield schoolhouse nearly $1600 was raised for the Red Cross. Seth Jones, the “heavy-weight’”” cowboy, acted as auctioneer and he says that. the people of the Jo- seph Plains country are the most patriotic he ever saw or heard of, The result of this meeting proves it, and is a record-breaker, On June 14th the people of the Doumecq country will give a big dance and auction sale for the Red Cross, which they poe to make a record-breaker for -the Northwest. More than $400.00 worth of stuff has already been donated for the auction sale, which no doubt will run into the thousands. One of the largest platforms ever seen in the state will be built for the dancers, and an invitation is extended to every- ey ext Monday, 15th, a big Lib- erty Loan rally will be held at the Canfield schoolhouse.
