VOLUME 80. NO. 44 SAVE THE LIFE OF A CHIL ANDS DIES IN EUROPE OF HUNGER. Have you ever been hunghy? No doubt you have but you have xiways been able to satisfy that craving with very little effort. But think of it, thousands of children, babies yet in their mother’s arms, grown men and women are dying cf starvation in Europe for the mere want o food. In this country we have enough food to save them of this horrible death but those unfort- unate people in Europe are with- out money io buy the necessities of life. Throughout the entire country a drive is being made to solicit funds for the starving and Cot- tonwood wil! prove no exception to the case. There will be no house to house canvas but any- ene having a donation that he wishes to make can leave the same at the Chronicle office and we will see that it is given to the proper porties. The Scourage of Famine. Famine is on the rage in Austria parts of Germany and in the south of Russia. In those vost regions which were at one time the most fertile in the world, the soil is dried up and left in the most desolate abandon ment. After having exhausted their lest provisions, and sold all to procure themselves bread, hundreds of thousands of peas- ants have iled in search of more favorable districts. One of the worst. aspects of the situation arises from the im- mense number of orphans and of children abandoned by their re- latives during their flight. Filthy insects, propagators of disease, infest the rags of the unhappy survivors, rags left un- washed through absolute want of soap. a Meanwhile, the absence of workmen, the difficulty of pro- evring seed, insufficient means of communication, drought and various other causes have com- bined to occ n this famine which now forces the miserable population of these districts to norrish themselves with what- ever falls into their hands. In autumn they ate herbs, bark of trees, grubs and earthworms; now their daily food is straw from the thatched roofs and in some places—horrible to relate! —even human remains. The Cry of the Children, One can readily imagine the disorders which such substances taken as fpod occasion, especially in children. Photographs of these wretched people show us their emaciated bodies deformed and swollen by gases so produced. Their intelligence alongremains unimpaired im this general physi- cal destruction, and reveals it- self in their eyes which implore, with anguish, some relief from their atrocious sufferings. The heroic love of the poor mother avails nothing and they are condemned to see the gradual westing away of their little ones, without being able to afford them any effectual relief. A Russian journal relates that a poor woman Baikiria (Volga), m:d from hunger and déspair, had thrown one of her children into the river and was about to throw in also her youngest a boy of four years. But the child, with instinctive horrcr of death, cried: “Mamma! Mamma! Let me live and I prom- ise not to ask you again for bread!” The children, thus weakened by hunger, become an easy prey to all maladies: among others, oedems, which brings with it generene and death. The greater number, however, died of inanition; first the child becomes emaciated, while the stomachh swells then the suffer- er becomes so extremely weak as not to b able to stand, or digest anything and at this stage, in spite of the aid of medicine or food, the unfortunate child dies —— | SEUBERT-TACKE. | A pretty wedding was solem- ‘nized Tuesday morning at St. Mary's Catholie church by the Rev. Fr. Willibrord when Miss Hilda Tacke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Tacke, of Cotton- wood, became the bride of | George Seubert. Elvin Tacke, a brother of the bride, and Miss Rena Seubert,” a sister of the ‘groom, attended the bridal coup- ie. The bride wore white satin and spanish lace, she carried white roses. A wedding dinner was served immediately following the ceremony at the home of the bride’s mother. The rooms were tastefully decorated with flowers. Only relatives and close friends of the families were present. The bride is a very charming girl. She is a graduate of the Sister’s school at Colton. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Jenny, he is an indust- | rious young man and one who numbers his friends by his ac- quaintance and we wish to con- gratulate him on the selection of his life partner. The newly mar- ried couple have the best wishes of the entire community and the Chronicle wishes to be num- hered among them. - They will make their home on the groom’s ranch a short dis- | tance from Cottonwood which the groom has fitted up for housekeening in a style that his young wife can be justly proud of.

Just twelve years ago, Herbert Smead, of Spring Camp, Idaho lost his pocket book containing $50 in currency on the hillside of the Salmon river and last week he had the good fortune to find his wallet. The $50 was made up in two $20 bills and one $10 The remarkable feature oi this is that the currency afte: lying out in the open for 12 yeais in all kinds of weather is still in very good shape. The edges of the bills were rotted away as wes also the leather portion of th« ‘purse the frame being all that was left. The figures on th« bills were very distinguishable The currency was brought to Cottonwood, Monday by Mr. Smead and deposited in the First National Bank. The bank wil send it to the mint to have new money issued in its place. Mr. Smead stated, at the time he lost the money he had _ very little hopes of ever recovering the same. MRS. WEIGAND DIES.

Bennett, field horticulturist ‘of the university extension spent two days with the county agent this week making “the second field inspection ef the potatoes grown from the certified seed shipped into the csunty this spring. While this has been a very unfavorable season for “growing potatoes this seed has shown up very well, and Mr. Rearden says ours on the whole looks as good is any in north Idaho. With a few exceptions the nen planting this seed are going ‘o come through with good seed vhich will be eligible for certi- ication when graded according © certification standards. All f the men are well pleased with heir venture and while most of them expect to put in a larger creage next year, planting what they have grown this year, a ew will have some certified seed o sell. Practically all of this has been spoken for by their 1eighbors who have seen the zood results from the better seed The men growing this seed will do their own sorting and rrading, selecting tubers rang- ing from 2 to 12 ounces, free from disease and mechanical in- jury and true to type. The county agent will then inspect -his seed and if found to conform to these standards will seal and tag the sacks and they may be sold as certified seed. While our tart in this enterprise this year ras been small, it has been very successful. This seed has given is a much ketter yield than the verage run and we are standard zing our product, growing the ‘sind of potatoes that the market vants. | 3 \ STATEMENT. | There seems to be some mis- understanding in the Ferdinand community in regard to the co- operation on the North and South road thru this highway district; it having been reported here that some of the funds had been taken and placed on the Whitebird hill, which is absolute- ly false. It has heen reported by men who are ina position to know better. The fact is that there were no appropriations, nor nev- er did the highway district ask through me. for any such co-op-| sration. Had they have done’ 30, | surely would have given my | loyal support for such co-opera- | tion. | If I am elected, I will work for | reimbursement for the state’s yart and the federal govern- ment’s part for your respective listricts also any district. | It seems that the people are not acquainted with the neutral ‘one that was made between the east fork of the Weiser river and Whitebird, Idaho. That was ade by Nate Pettibone, August Schroeder and myself making) the whole state and federal gov-| ermment a neutral co-operative hody to build the same.

Thé work of macadamizing the streets of Cottonwood was finished Saturday evening and the rock crusher closed down. The $20,000 voted by the citizens of Cottonwood last year for this work has all been expended and while it was not sufficient to! complete the entire program as| outlined the sum was sufficient! to complete most of the task. The streets are now graveled to! the Hussman Lumber yard, ow-| ing to the shortage of funds The Farmers Union Warehouse and W. B. Hussman each made a substantial donation to complete the work that fer. The con- tractor, Felix Martzen, com- pleted more work than was anti- cipated by many for the money on hand. The streets of Cot- tonwood are now in excellent shape and we doubt if anyone regrets the money expended for this needed improvement. CARPENTER VISITS. Elmer A.
