The Germans have learned—with terrible and dreadful experience— that the only running the Amer- ican boys do is toward the enemy, but never away from them. Now that the Germans are jarred loose and thoroughly whipped and rout- ed, the task of driving them back to their own territory and to peace is not so difficult as it looked a few weeks ago. On our trip to Spokane this week the editor was more than surprised to note the utter failure of the wheat crop in the Palouse country. All through that usu- ally ideal wheat growing country | —as far as the eye can see from the railroad—the crop is a dismal failure this season, caused of course, by the drouth. Most of the wheat looks too short and thin to even cut for hay. Camas Prairie, in comparison, looks like an oasis ina desert or a paradise, and our farmers can thank'their lucky stars that their land is here Since the recent have nearly a full crop of wheat—and none of them with less than half a crop. —EE——— The Chronicle editor was pres- ent in Spokane Tuesday evening when 500 boys in the July draft left that city for Camp Lewis. It required a special train of 13 coaches to carry the boys, each of whom had a badge pinned to his coat on which were printed the words “On to Berlin and Vic- tory!” More than 5000 people were at the station, including bands and glee clubs, to cheer the boys on their way to victory. tonwood depot Monday morning | when the 47 Idaho boys went through. Like a great avalanche that has finally been jarred loose, the whip- ped German armies are at last on the run toward their own country, with the Americans and their al- lies close at their heels. It is} hoped there will be no let-up un- til peace terms are dictated in butchers as completely dehorned from power as are the Spaniards since Uncle Sam “cleaned-up” on them a few years ago. Nobody | ever hears of Spain talking fight any more—and Germany must be whipped into the same condition.

Every labor agency, commercial club and employment bureau is besieged with calls for field workers. Threshing outfits are in such demand that crews are working double shifts and in some instances machines are run- ning allnight. High wages has stimulated harvest hands to extra endeavors. There is also the ad- ded appeal of the war situation, many workers being actuated by aspirit of loyalty in helping to save every sheaf of grain. If our soldier boys deliberated as long over doing their duty as some of our people at home hesi- tate over doing theirs, the victory would be doubtful. It is a sort of financial cowardice to hesitate to put your money in United States Government securities, and to deliberate over the wisdom and patriotism of the investment is to heSitate in supporting our soldiers, — Only July 20, 1908—just ten} years ago Saturday—almost the entire town of Cottonwood was destroyed by fire. But the town has long since outgrown any bad effects of the fire, and today is perhaps the most substantial and best business town for its size (1000 people) in the United States. — If the Food Administrators will use a little energy in investigating the high priced “‘substitutes” they | will be issuing some orders that | will benefit the poor and needy, instead of such foolish orders as those recently sent out by Bick- nell of Boise—which would be an injury instead of benefit.
