-years, Contains Map of Selway County A school history’ of Idaho, adop- ed by the state board of education for general use in the public schools of the state, contains a map of the state of Idaho, on which is shown Selway county. The supposed Selway county, as indicated by the map, is formed from the northern part of Idaho county, and includes the towns of Kooskia, Stites and Harpster. Kooskia is indicated as the county seat of the county. Several years ago agitation for the creation of Selway county was manifest, and the compiler of the history decid- ed Selway county should be shown on the map. Critics point out if other data in the history is as inaccurate as is the map, the history would be practically wortless as a text in Idaho schools. The history will be used in the public schools of the county. It is written by C. J. Brosnan, sup- erintendent of schools at Nampa. “0 Mrs. Fitzgerald Died Friday Mrs. Kate Fitzgerald, who for more than 35 years has been a resident of Cottonwood‘and Idaho county, died at her home here Friday at the ripe old age of 79 Mrs. Fitzgerald was one of the sturdy old pioneers who helped build up Camas Prairie and was a woman who numbered her friends by those who knew her. She was.always seeking to help those in need and never turned a hungry mouth from her door. Death was due to complications. Her husband died in the summer of 1915. Funeral services were held from the Catholic church Satur- day morning at’ nine o'clock which were attended by a large number of friends. She leaves no surviving relatives in this section. Undertaker Nau had charge of funeral arrangements. ‘ Ape EE, Many Attend Card» Party The Knights of Columbus at their first card party of the sea- son held in the club rooms of this More than four'thousand Delco-Light plants were de- livered for war work. They were used to supply elec- tric light in camps, storehouses, hospitals, Y. M. C. A. huts, airplane hangars, sub-chasers and other branches of the service. In Red Cross hospitals at the front, Delco- Light operated life-saving X-ray apparatus. Delco-Light was specified by the Government because it is dependable, efficient, simple to operate,—requires little attention, and because it is AIR-COOLED. The result of Government tests and the satisfactory use of Delco-Light on over 60,000 farms are your as- surance that Delco-Light will give you the same de- pendable service. It betters living conditions,—increases farm efficiency, and goon pays for itself in time and labor saved. Hoene Hardware Co. SSass_ SSS SS ESS EE a ES eS a SSS SS STATEMENT.

It comes as a climax to a soul- stirring story of war and love with the great world conflict now rag- ing as the background. The young ahd beautiful wife of an - officer of the American Legion of the Canadian expeditionary fore- . es, violating an iron-clad rule of the War office, disguises herself as a nurse and goes to visit her hus- band at the front. Through the machinations of a cowardly offi- cer, onte a suitor for her hand, her presence and her husband’s knowledge of it is exposed. Husband and wife are arrested’ and ordered before a court martial with the knowledge that their ~ trial can result in nothing short of the verdict prescribed for every such violation of the regulations —death before a firing squad. Rather than see his bride suffer such a fate her husband shoots her with his service revolver, and she falls at his feet breathing her gratitude with “Thank you, my | husband.” Motion picture critics who have seen advance showings of “For the Freedom of the World” are ° unanimous in proclaiming this the most thrilling moment they have ever seen in films, aeealnenciiey Notice.
