that reason is everyone Is broke as is

The people here are interesting. One

EDITORIAL MENTION.
Separate peace with Germany would !
be heller than war.
Application blanks for furloughs
for soldiers have been received at the
office of the Ada County Exemption
board. A farmer wanting some cer
tain soldier to return for a short per
iod of time to help with the crops
files an application with the county
board.This board either recommends
that it be granted or suggests that it
be denied. This is then sent to the
army camp where the soldier is stat
ioned. The commanding officer then
may grant or deny the application.
Buy Thrift Stamps and help on the
war.

How Do Your
Sacrifices Compare
With These?
£
>
HE American boy who goes to war
gives up the position which means
so much to his future, or the little
business which has just begun to show
promise of success.
He severs home ties; gives up home comforts;
leaves behind parents, friends, wife or sweetheart.
He faces the probability of being obliged to
take up life anew when he returns; of losing ail
the advantages which years of hard work have
won for him.
He faces the possibility of coming back in
capacitated for earning a living, and of being
dependent upon his friends or upon charity.
He faces the possibility of never coming
home at all.
Facing these things, he goes to France to
fight for us who remain safely at home — and
when the moment comes for him to go over
the top — he GOES!

What will he think, how will he
