In with- drawing from the big trap, set by the allies, the Crown Prince’s half a million soldiers suffered ap- palling loss; as fora whole week the allies with thousands of ma- chine guns and cannons, day and night, poured a constant stream of lead into the fleeing and routed enemy from three sides. The German loss during the last two weeks wili reach at least halfa million of their best troops. At this rate they -can not last but a few months longer. Today’s dis- patches say that the Germans have rushed in a million more men to take part in this great battle—it is hoped to serve as cannon-fodder for the allies. Owing to the scarcity of paper the postal department at Wash- ington recently issued orders to all publishers to cut down, when- ever possible, the size of their pa- pers and alsoto cut from their subscription lists all delinquents and deadheads. This order is be- ing obeyed by the newspapers} generally throughout the country, many being driven to it in'ad- vance of this order as self-pro- tection. No doubt the Chronicle has a smaller list of delinquents than any country paper in the state, considering the very large and growing circulation the pa- per enjoys in Idaho county and north central Idaho, and the few delinquents will soon be dropped from our list also. One thing it does not pay to raise is checks-—if caught at it. Jack Falhaber, a former employe here at the Cottonwood garage, was employed in the Central gar- age at Grangeville for a month or so up to last Friday. Mr. Robin- son, the proprietor, gave hima check for $8, but by the time he cashed it at the Imperial hotel it had grown to $28—which proves | that Falhaber, as a_ booster and} and expansionist, isno slouch. The work was so raw that it was de- | tected at once and the check-rais- ing artist was foreed to pay back | the “watered” portion of the in- |vestment. He avoided arrest by leaving at once for North Dakota, where heisin the August army draft. There seems to be some mis- understanding as to the necessity of threshermen procuring a li- cense.

The Chronicle force knows from experience that Charley Gerber, our new creamery operator, can make as delicious ice cream as ever tickeled a palate. us apresent of a mess of it the make of ice cream. Mr. Gerber is one of the best butter-makers and all-round creamery men in the entire country. In Oregon all married men of draft age without children are be- jing reclassified and put in class 1A, in every case where the wife is able to work and support her- self. The women get half of | their husbands’ pay—which is} nearly enough to support them. It iS more than likely that this rule will become general through- out the country. The adjutant general’s office at Boise has received a call from Washington for 103 men to en- train August 15th for Moscow, where they will be given special training in the University of Ida- ho. The quota for this’county is 3 men. chines who do custom threshing} shall register with the director of | | farm markets and procure licences | to engage in such business. The} cost of this is $1.00. This re-| quirement applies to combines as| well as regular threshing ma-| chines. All threshermen, seed | huller or owners of combines, whether doing custom work or not are required to report at the ‘close of each month all the grain threshed for each farmer. | The new 100,000-bushel con- crete elevator being erected by the Cottonwood Milling Co. is rapidly nearing its height of 90 feet and the 8 gigantic reinforced | concrete tanks present a magnifi- cent appearance, | 4 August Seubert left a sample bunch of his white clover at this office this week, which is the most convincing proof of the wonder- ful richness and fertility of our soil. The clover stands six feet high, and of course was grown on dry land. Acting upon the advice and so- licitations of his many friends throughout the state, Lieut.
