This is allright as long as the government and the draft boards continue to make the clas- sifications and qualifications un- biased as in the past. A sound man at 45 should be in his prime and should be proud to be allowed to fight for his home and his coun- | try. He can at least hold second and third-line trenches, and _ like his co-patriot of France and Great Britain, “go over the top” when- ever the occasion required. A boy at eighteen should take to training as a duck takes to water, but he should not be sent against experienced soldiers until he is fully qualified and hardened for service. The long-looked-for rain came at last, and this entire section of country was blessed with good soaking rains (fully an inch) Sat- urday and Sunday. The grain crops—especially spring sown wheat—were suffering badly for the want of moisture, and these heavy showers came just in the nick of time to prevent disastrous failure. Almost full crops are} now assured, and it can be truth- fully said that this was “a million dollar rain.” In fact it will be worth much more than a _ million dollars to Camas Prairie. The rain was pretty general all over! the Northwest. The hundreds of our splendid young men from this county who have already gone and are leay- ing every month is bringing this} terrible war into our homes with a vengeance. But no one should worry, as the boys will soon re- turn, covered with glory, when they have performed their rather unpleasant duty of putting the balance of the murderous Huns on the bum. Cottonwood has formed a habit | of “going over the top” that won’t | wear off.

Our wide awake boosters made it pos- sible by their energetic work to provide for the people of almost the entire Camas Prairie country the very best of high-class enter- tainment at a trifling cost to each person, And the public is not likely to forget these favors. Insurance New York Many of our subsrcribers are taking advantage of the old low subscription rate of $1.50 a year for the Chronicle, which will. be raised to $2 after the first of next month. They figure, and correct- ly too, that they cannot save or make 50c easier, and quite a few are even paying for several years in advance. The $1.50 rate will be in affect until next Tuesday morning—so you'll have to hurry. ——— CALL ON The famous Cowboy Band of THE BEST, TIME TO BUILD MR.
