Cottonwood Wins Ball Game About 500 people saw the ball game at: Fenn Sunday afternoon between the Fenn Red Cross team and the Cottonwood All-Stars, The latter won the game bya good majority of runs, but at that the crowd was kept on edge until the finish. The proceeds of near- ly $80 was turned over to the Red Cross Chapter at Cottonwood and is greatly appreciated. The Fenn players are a gentle- manly bunch of boys who took their defeat good-naturedly. In order to further help the Red Cross they insist upon paying their own expenses in coming to Cottonwood Sunday to play—the same as our boys did in going to Fenn. Gib Eimers of Grangeville um- pired and gave complete satisfac- tion. The return game will be played here next Sunday, and as the Fenn club will bring a few more crack players, the game is sure to bea hummer. The locals will have about the same line-up. All the proceeds will be turned into the Red Cross Chapter at Cottonwood and no doubt it will run close to $100. The band played several selec- tions at Fenn and will also be on hand Sunday to brace up the en- thusiasm of the crowd. Admission to game 25c. ——_» —_—_ More Doctors Wanted. The drain upon the physician power of the country gives indi- cations of continuing indefinitely, as is shown by the call of the Surgeon-General of the Army up- on all physicians between the ages of 21 and 55 to consider seri- ously the advisability of applying for commissions at the earliest possible date. It is pointed out that with somewhat more than 16,000 surgeons already enrolled in the Medical Reserve Corps, provision has been made for an enlisted strength of about 1,500,- 000 men. But it is proposed to increase the Army to 3,000,000 men and this cannot be done effi- ciently unless medical attendance is provided for them. Medical supervision hasa direct bearing, not only upon the com- fort of the soldier, but also upon the conservation of man power. Even if it were not the right of the soldier to receive care, which it is, it would be opposed to the interest of the Nation to waste its strength through neglect in this important respect. The health of the present army, by comparison with conditions in past wars, has shown that the strength of the Medical Department is a direct and reliable measure of the effi- ciency of the military forces as a whole. There are about 140,000 physi- cians of service age in the United States. That they contributed more than 11 per cent of their number voluntarily to the service is greatly to the credit of the pro- fession. In a very large proportion of instances material sacrifices have been made. Home problems of health remain to be considered. But it has come to the point when, in the words of the Surgeon- | General, it is “not a question of a} few hundred medical men volun-| teering for service, but of mobiliz- | ing the profession.” And since) almost every inhabitant comes in contact with a physician one or more times in his life, it is only another way of reminding all/ Americans that they are engaged | in a real war. pane ees oe Everybody should come out to| Odd Fellows hall tomorrow (Sat- urday) evening at 8 o’clock to at-! tend the high school commence- | ment exercises and hear the ad-| dress by Dr. Lindley, president of | the State University at Moscow. | Dr. Lindley is a noted speaket | and his address will prove a great treat to our people.

Every hand-operated cream separator has the correct number of turns of the crank handle per minute plainly indicated upon the crank handle. : Lee separator, of whatever. make, will do better work at the proper and indicated speed than at any other. Every one of the NEW De Lavals has a Bell git pomagy When you slow down, the bell rings. It warns you every time the handle goes around too slowly. You can’t be mistaken about it. The Bell Speed-Indicator adds nothing to the price but much to the value of the NEW De Laval. Come in and see how the Bell Speed-Indicator works.

Gooding urges everybody to buy next winter’s coal now, and — avoid the suffering of what prom- — ises to be an even more disastrous fuel situation than that of last winter. Here is his letter in part: “T want to say to the people of © Idaho it is not a shortage of coal, but a shortage of cars and motive power that creates coal famines. Soon we will see the greatest movement of troops and war ma- terials over our railroads the world has ever known, Our railway system is going to be taxed to its utmost capacity. We are build- ing more ships. It is going to take more cars and more engines to load these ships. This is all going to mean fewer cars and few- er locomotives for the coal trade, “I want to appeal to the good people of Idaho to leave nothing undone; to store coal even if you have to make a sacrifice in some- thing else. Let us get your needs | out of the way so that it will not be necessary to ask for a priority right in the use of cars for hauling coal, as I was forced to do soon after my appointment to save the people of Idaho, even through a mild winter, from extreme suffer- ing and distress, “At the present time you are making a saving, where coal is hauled to your bins direct from the cars, of 70c a ton over what the price will be in the near fu- ture. I have been able to secure a fair understanding with the op- erators to the end that the price on coal will not be increased be- fore the first of June. This is not a positive agreement, and I shall have no right to complain if the price is increased before that time. Iam fighting hard, however, to have this same price, as at the present, continued until the first of July, but can give the people no assurance that it will be done. “Tam not urging the people to store coal because of 70c a ton, fs)|but I am urging them with all Lumber!
