= Se ee eS er German iribute URGE PRESIDENT 10 0..K. $2.40 WHEAT Chamber of Commerce and Farmers’ Union Wire Conditions. A few days ago Congress voted to raise the price of the 1918 wheat crop to $2.40 a bushel at terminal points. President Wil- son did not favor the raise and threatened to veto the bill. Last Monday the Farmers Union and Chamber of Commerce of Spokane wired the following mes- sage to the President, urging him to O. K. the bill and allow it to become a law: “Account of hot winds and dry weather grain crops, except a very small area in the Camas Prairie and Nezperce Prairie regions in North Central Idaho, of Pacific coast states, exceedingly short. Thousands of acres of grain too poor to harvest. Hundreds of thousands can not make more then 5 to 10 bushels per acre. Barley and oats practically a fail- ure. With .an excessive high freight on grain from the east, wheat will be the cheapest stock food in the country. Farmers have to pay extraordinarily high prices for feed, farm machinery, labor and other materials that en- ter intothe production and har- vesting of this crop. Therefore we must earnestly ask that you consider these conditions before vetoing the wheat price bill. The farmers of the west would be will- ing to lose everything in prefer- ence to losing the war, but the new price only increases flour 90 cents per barrel and should not increase the loaf more than one- half cent per loaf.” atten A Prosperous Farm Home. The Chronicle force, while re- turning from an auto trip to Grangeville Saturday evening, en- joyed a brief visit at the splendid farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Frans Heartburg, 5 miles east of town.

Any audience which can see that title flashed on the screen, as it is in “The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin,” in the particularly ap- propriate place where it appears, and not literally go off its feet with excitement, is a pretty hard audience to enthuse. Millions of people throughout the United States have joined in thunderous applause at this point in the story of the kaiser as he really is. A crowded house will certainly do the same thing at the Orpheum next Friday night, July 19th. All the madness of the war- crazed mind of the kaiser, all the viciousness of the erimes perpe- trated in his name and under his orders, are shown in this picture with a vividness at once horrible and thrilling. ~The sacking of Louvain is.reproduced with infin- ite attention to detail, immediate- ly after the first scenes of the film @ | showing Belgium in time of peace. The decoration of the comman- der of the U-boat which sank the Lusitania is shown and he is later shown as insane, seeking out the cowardice in the heart of the kai- ser when he describes to him how the hands of drowning children are reaching for him constantly. The visit of Ambassador Ger- ard to the kaiser when the kaiser told him that Germany “would stand no nonsense” from Amer- ica after the war, brought vigor- ous applause. Mr. Gerhard is de- picted as smiling and bowing when the kaiser makes the state- ment, and, as he bows, he touches the tiny metal flag in his coat la- pel and smiles. The downfall of Berlin and im- prisonment of the kaiser closes the picture, through which runs a tragic story, of the love ofa young Belgium girl, the destruction of i her home and the death of her fi- ance. to American Valor (Spokesman-Review) A German soldier captured by the American forces paid one of the finest tributes to American valor that has yet been spoken. Our boys fight, he said, “like wild devils without a’ single fear, and when the fight is finished they are gentlemen.” How else could soldiers conduct themselves who take for their in- spiration and. guidance the lives of Washington, Andrew Jackson, Grant, Lee and “Stonewall” Jack- son? Our boys in France will live up to the best traditions of American valor and chivalry. They are the pick of the nation’s young manhood, have had the right kind of training and are charged with a high purpose to winthe re- spect of their allied comrades and the admiration of their country- men, Some day, God willing, they will march down the long streets of Berlin to the inspiring music of American airs and cheering with true American fervor, and their conduct ‘on that great day will make a profound impression on the defeated German people, just as it now makes a deep im-| pression on captured German prisoners. Then every German woman and every’ German child will learn that their militaristic masters have deceived them with flagrant falsehoods about the valor of American armies and the character of American culture. inch bigeeidhitcls Barn’ Dance at ‘Schroeder’s, Another big dance will be given in August Schroeder’s large new barn at his home 4 miles north- east of Cottonwood next Thursday night, July 18. 4 Music will be furnished by the Cottonwood band, and refresh-_ ments will be served in the barn, Admission for all over 12 years, 25ce.

A spectacular feature of Jane Cowl’s first screen starring vehicle for Goldwyn, “The Spreading Dawn,” from the story of Basil King, is a great fire scene in which a full-sized theatre is burned to the ground just asa performance is beginning before a capacity aud- ience inside. The theatre was built by the Goldwyn technical staff in a large open space not far from the studio at Fort Lee, N. J., and was in course of construction for three weeks. | Orpheum, Monday, July 16,
