F. Parker, the veteran boost: er for Idaho county, greeted his many friends in town Saturday in the interest of his candidacy for the office of County Auditor on the democratic ticket. Per- haps no man in the county has worked longer or harder to boost for the benefit of the state and county than has Mr. Parker, and since he has never before.asked for public office, his friends be- lieve he is entitled to their votes next Tuesday. Those mothers, fathers, wives, brothers, sistersand sweethearts who have men in the battle line will be disposed to have little pa- tience with the office seeker who spends his time going up and down the state making speeches and otherwise diverting the pub- lic from the one big job on hand —from rendering the men at the front every possible assistance. Let’s win this war, then talk pol- ities.—Nezperce Herald. In 1898 the death rate in the regular army from all causes was 20.14 to the thousand. By 1900 it had been reduced to 7.78; by 1916 to 5.18; and by June of this year it has been cut to4.14. That is probably the lowest army death record in the world. At least it is better than the record of the Japanese army, which has been the wonderand goal of medical men ever since the Russo-Japan- POG WAU ence aris tn The new draft bill, taking all men between the ages of 18 and 45 years, has passed both houses of Congress and will be signed by the president perhaps today. The date for registration has not yet been decided upon. This will furnish about 13,000,000 more sol- diers for Uncle Sam—enough to whip the Huns until there is noth- ing left of Germany but a “grease spot.” Formerly many thousands of Americans toured Europe every year—simply because they had more money than brains. But conditions have changed. Now several millions of our best young men are seejng the sights in Eu- rope, with Berlin as the destina- tion, Progress in that direction is perhaps a little slow—but it is sure, as the Huns are learning to their PORPOW sete Sa) The Berlin Deutsche Zeitung, Germany’s leading newspaper, ad- mits that the Germans are suffer- ing their first serious defeat. The New York World disputes this statement and remarks that the first German defeat was the in- vasion of Belgium, and that an- other serious German defeat was the sinking of the Lusitania. The Mexican cannibals along the border are getting bloodthirsty again. They became _ so bold Wednesday that our troops were obliged to fire on them, killing about 100 and wounding several times that number. Two of our soldiers were killed and about 30 wound¢d.. == Next Monday is Labor Day and Tuesday election day—both holidays. There are too many holiday and nine-tenths of them should be squelched.

Some of them even want to do the fighting—not in France, but at home. As an example, two Grangeville girls— Dollie Ol- inger and Laura Castle—‘‘mixed it” on the streets of that town one day last week and Miss Olinger bombarded Miss Castle in the back witha rock, considerably ruffling her feelings as well as her body. In consequence Miss Olinger was arrested and held to the grand jury under $250 bonds. The German generals are get- ting quite accustomed to sending reports to Kaiser Bill to the effect that “we are makinga magnifi- cent retreat, having lost only about half of our army,” etc., etc. Another favorite excuse is, “we have successfully shortened our lines in order to make the retreat more successful.”’ Quite so. Our boys are helping out amazingly in shortening the Hun lines so there will not be so many of them to retreat. Wm. Eller, democratic candi- date for sheriff, was in town to- day.

R. P. Flint of Malta, Mont., chairman of a Thrift campaign, found interest in the stamp drive waning. One night recently well after the hour of 12 he started a bonfire, fired a shotgun, called out the fire department, and when a sufficient crowd had congregated, thrift stamps. auto he repeated the stunt in two other nearby towns before awn. The way the American boys in France are stealing machine gun bases proves that they know the game—having had plenty of ex- perience in stealing bases before they left this country.
