A municipal wood yard for Grangeville during the coming autumn and winter was discuss- ed at the regular meeting of the Grangeville Commercial club, last Monday.

Cottonwood, Idaho GOT HER SOLDIER HUSSAND Lonely Widow Made Application and Government Employment Bureau Did the Rest. There’s a job for the returned sol- dier which few of us ¢hought of, the job of being a husband. At least, we never thought of it as one of those jobs which could be listed among the “help wanted.” ‘This is what hap- pened at one of the New York city United States employment bureaus. Gordon Sawyer, the government em- ployment agent picked a pink, lilac- scented letter off the top of his mail. He opened it and read: ~ “My husband died some time ago. I have a small income, a town home and a country place, but I am lone some, Having read that so many sol- diers are out of work, I have con- cluded that there would be nothing better for me to do than to take for my husband a man who has fought for his country. Can you send a worthy soldier to me?” “This may be a joke,” said Mr. Sawyer. “It sounds too good to be true. But it is worth a trial.” Ten minutes later a goodlooking young soldier walked into the office. “I am looking for a job,” he said, “I’m a carpenter.” “Married?” asked Mr. Sawyer. “Nope,” replied Private J. “Read this letter, investigate the Job and report to me.” Just as Mr. Sawyer was closing his office the telephone rang. “This is Private J.,” said the voice. “Thanks for that letter. I got the job.” TURNED VESSEL INTO SHOP Ingenious Idea Appreciated by the Sailors of the British Grand Fleet Stationed at Scapa Flow. One of the secrets of the war was revealed recently when a party went down to the Victoria docks, London, to inspect the Wilson liner Borodino. This ship was chartered in the early days of the war by the Junior Army and Navy Stores for the purpose of sup- plying the sailors of the grand fleet with comforts and luxuries that they would otherwise have had to do with- out. One of the sea lords at the be- ginning of the war, when the grand fleet was keeping its vigil in Scapa flow, recognized that the officers and men needed something to relieve the dullness of existence while waiting for the German fleet to come out. The suggestion was adopted, and the Borodino turned into a most effective shop. Almost anything could be bought on board, while there was a fine laundry with a weekly collection and delivery, and a barber’s shop. Five thousand dollars a week was taken by the sale of goods, including penny bars of chocolate, greatly favored by young midshipmen. The latest in fancy soaps, Shaving creams, new books, the finest chocolates, and an abundance of fresh meat, fish and vegetables helped to make life more bearable in the cold and dismal surroundings of Scapa, An Enlightened Age. One day recently a young couple =|entered the county clerk’s office in Winchester and got a marriage license, each giving their age as twenty-five years. The couple. being acquainted with the county recorder, called on him at his office and during their conversation informed him that they had just been married. The recorder, seeing the envelope in the young man’s pocket, which he recognized as com- ing from the clerk’s office, asked: “Who married you?” “Why, the man in the office at the other end of the hall,” replied the young man, “and here is our certificate,” producing the mar- riage license. The recorder informed the couple that they were not mar- ried, and at their request called a justice of the peace, who performed the ceremony for them.—New York Times, Extinct Species, Two grizzly bear skulls from the foothills of San Jose (California) county have been classified at the Smithsonian institution at Washington, showing that in days gone by a now extinct species of grizzly roamed the hills of Alum Rock and Mount Hamil- ton ranges, according to announcement i] | there, Dr. C. Hart Merriman of the insti- tution came here for the skulls of the bears, which were killed more than fifty years ago by Clark Hubbard, a pioneer. According to Doctor Merri- man the skulls are from a_ species clearly distinct from the 38 other spe- cies and subspecies classified by the institution. Doctor Merriman has searched the mountains of the entire West for grizzly bear relics, “Chromokipkips.” Edward R. Hewitt of New York ts a man of science who also owns a large estate in New Jersey, where he carries on interesting experiments. The Little Journal recounts that sev- eral years ago a great lawn fete on his place was one of the leading social events of the season, and he added to the gala aspect of the ocacsion by dip- ping the wings of his White Leghorn fowls into red, blue, yellow and green dye solutions. They made a great sen- sation. He said they were Tasmanian Chro- mokipkips and intimated something about $50 a dozen for their eggs. Socn he received inquiries for settings with checks inclosed, and it was only when these were returned and the method of “raising” Tasmanian Chro- mokipkips was explained that would- fe purchasers gave up their quest, —-
