| COTTONWOOD CHRONICL *Y VOLUME 26. NUMBER 23. COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1918, BIG. ARMY DRAFT FOR THIS MONTH Eighty-seven to go from Idaho County. Idaho was called upon Saturday by the war department for 2,000 draft men. They are to entrain for Camp Lewis during the five- day period beginning June 24. This is next to the largest call for draft men in the history of the state. The quota came asa sur- prise, for a much smaller number was expected. Idaho county’s quota is unusually large this time 87. In all previous drafts this county has furnished a total of 57 men. The following are among those from this part of the county in the present draft: Cottonwood—Frank Schober, Carl Farthing, Raimon Triplett, Carl Rehder, John Rooke, Andrew Drube, Ed Von Oy, Clyde Leon- ard, Roy Triplett, Carl Fuller. Greenereek—Otto Smith, Harry Twillegar, Bernard Wensman. Fenn—Frane Bowman, Court- ney Zehner, L, A. Mulhall. Keuterville— Bernard Hattrup. Ferdinand—Horace Quigley. Joseph—Clarence Watson, Wal- lie Allen. Westlake—John Fann, Frank Trukositz. Spring Camp— Delbert Cattron, | . Erick Eberhardt. Numerous counties have but a few left in class 1 and it is there- fore necessary to reapportion the call among those counties and cit- ies having large quotas to be drawn upon, for all of the class 1 men are to be called before the second class is entered in any county. District boards will also be called upon to reclassify mar- ried men or newlyweds who be- cause of dependent wives were given exemptions. Where possible men engaged in agricultural pur- suits are not to be included. The heavy call came asa sur- prise. Before credits were allow- ed Idaho had in class 1 a total of 6,386. It has already drawn from that class 2,318 men and hasa balance left of 8,961. Subtract- ing the present 2,000 call there are but 1,961 men left in class 1. fiat earning Flag Day June 14.

A Cottonwood girl has written | LETTER FROM | To Our Subscribers. VERNER DYE He Describes Conditions at the Front. Following is part of a letter received this week by a friend in Cottonwood from Vern Dye, who is “in the thick of it” in France. The letter was dated May 8: “I was with the British army the first three weeks of the Ger- man advance, which commenced March 21. I wish the people of America—the young men who are waiting for the draft, the paci- fist, and the rest who think that the U.S. should have waited un- til the Germans came across the water before preparing to fight them—could see some of the ter- rible things I saw where the Huns advanced toward Calais. “They commenced this drive by shelling all towns and back areas within range with mustard gas, which affects the eyes and |skin first—particularly the eyes, | ultimately causing blindness, A day or two later the victim takes pneumonia or some other acute lung disease, which usually results fatally. “The French people who were in these towns following the bom- bardment had to be hauled out by trainlcads to the hospitals. I saw old men and women, girls land little children burned, blister- led and blinded beyond recogni- tion, and herded like sheep by those who were not so bad off, waiting for transportation to take them back to safety. Some- times it took a day or two and in the meantime a high explosive shell would come over and merci- |fully wipe out the pitiful flock — herders and all. “These are a very few of the horrors that France is bearing | without a murmur, and in Amer- |ica they wail and gnash their teeth because the boys have to go | across the sea to fight. Théy had better thank God that it is across the sea instead of in their own country and in their own homes that these crimes occur.” Mr. and Mrs. August Schroeder received a letter this week from their son Bert, who is doing army service in France. Bert was agreeably surprised a few days ago. He was sitting in front of his dugout reading the Cotton- wood Chronicle when a big auto- | load of soldiers arrived, and at the | wheel was his old friend, Vern | Dye, this being their first meeting |since going to France. Bert says {it does him so much good to get | the Chronicle that he reads every line in it-ads and all—several | times over. hour a sudden hailstorm COTTONWOOD While the Sun Shines Insure against hail.

For the last couple of years the prices for everything used in a printing office—and especially for the publication of a news- paper—have been constantly — climbing until there is not a cent profit any longer in yearly sub- scriptions at $1.50. Thousands of weekly newspapers throughout the country have been forced to raise their rates of subscription as well as advertising, and publishers not doing so are rapidly going out of — business.
