But our patri- otic people are not going to stop at merely the quota—they are go- ing to double it if possible within the next two weeks—before the time is up. Let the good work go on. Our energetic bankers surely deserve great credit for the active part they are taking in helping to make this loan the brilliant suc- cess it is. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Terhaar received a letter this week from their son Paul, who is now “in the thick of it” in France, stating that he and all the other Cotton- wood boys, so far as he knew, are well—but that they are making it extremely unhealthy for a lot of Germans. Paul sent his father a copy of “Stars and Stripes’— the paper being published over there by the American boys. It is an 8-page paper, well-edited, spicy, with lots of advertising, funny cartoons, ete. Farmers are warned not to de- pend on grain bags for the hand- ling of this year’s grain crop. Those farmers who are able to contract for sacks with the assur- ance of delivery, it is claimed are the only ones who can afford to neglect the farm granaries and build elevators. Only fifteen mil- lion sacks are as yet available for the three northwestern states, about twenty to twenty-five per| cent of the normal amount requir- ed; and this year’s crop promises to be very large—one of the lar- gest ever raised. Ex-Deputy Sheriff Wm. Eller of Salmon river was among those present from a distance Tuesday to attend our flag-raising exer- cises. Mr. Eller is having splen- did luck with his sheep and pre- dicts the most successful year for wool growers in the history of the country. Mr. Eller’s many friends throughout Idaho county are try- ing to induce him to make the race for sheriff on the democratic ticket at the coming election, but he has not made up his mind whether or not he will do so. Jim Wright last. Monday sold to the Farmers Union W. Co. 41 head of hogs, amounting to $1310. He then used the very excellent| of Liberty bonds—the safest and best investment in the world. Many others in this vicinity are just as able to buy as much. Hundreds of people Tuesday commented upon the magnificence of the patriotic window display in | the Hoene Hardware store.

This law has not been en- forced with any noticeable vigor fora number of years, but war conditions now make it necessary to “put the skids under” lazy hus- bands, according to advices from Washington. For the purpose of “taking care of” lazy husbands the government wants a list of all men who loaf and waste time un- necessarily in any manner. Par- ticular effort will be made to “get” that class of “ornry” husbands who allow their wives to get up first to make fires, etc., while the husband lies inbed. Fat Hamlin | is authorized to get a list of théese} fellows in this district, and the wife or anyone else who knows of any man guilty of this worse than rd habit is asked to report to im. Ever since it was announced that the Germans were shelling Paris with a monster gun that throws 8-inch shells, weighing 200 pounds, a distance of 75 miles, “Dad” Simon has been straining every nerve in his body trying to invent a weapon that would equal if not skin the Kaiser's “baby killer.’ He finally succeeded, and has the gun to show for it. Ask Dad to show it to you. A. MeMaster, whose farm is 3 miles north of town, lost three head of good cattle last week, caused, he thinks, by poison. It is hoped there is no one in this part of the country who is vicious enough to commit such a crime. If there is, he should be “taken | Carl Fuller and Bill Schober arrived home Monday from Spo- kane with a “Case.” This does Case car, owned by Mr. Fuller.
