BIG CELEBRATION WAS
A LITTLE AHEAD OF TIME
Phone information was sent out
from Boise late Saturday night tell
ing of the capitulation of the ger
mans and that the war was over.Mer
idian received the news gladly but
did not enthuse until more reliable
data was at hand. In Boise and
Nami>a however the bands were out
and there was a big jollification.The
next day—well, it was discovered that
germa ny was not ready yet to quit,
and the huns were still on the job.
There is importance however in all
this peace talk—it means that the end
is not far of, maybe this fall, but per
haps not until more brave men meet
death on the field of battle.

EDITORIAL MENTION.
The collegiate section of the Uni
versity of Idaho army training corps
is rapidly reaching the limit of ft«
quota. To-morrow is the last day for
applications.
The recent rains have been very
welcome especially ou the dry farm
lands where the soil was dry and
hard and difficult to work. Soil con
ditions are now much improved and
plowing and seeding are in full blast.
Most of the silo filling is completed
In the Meridian section. Range condi
tions are improving, however, in a
way most pleasing to stockmen. New
grass is making rapid growth and
late fall feed is excellent. Cattle aud
sheep are in good condition.
The rains of the past week have
interfered somewhat with the curing
if the third cutting of alfalfa and
,s crop has been slightly damaged,
ii.e from this, the weather has
been favorable for all farm oper
ations aud also for maturing of fail
crops.

Candidate for Re-Election
Probate Judge, Ada County
To the Voters of Ada County.
Having been nominated for re-elect
ion as Probate Judge I desire to call
the attention of the voters of Ada
county, to my record in this offiee,
which I feel sure, was the control
ling consideration which brought me
the Democratic nomination, without
a contest, in the recent primary el
ection.
I thiuk my experience as judge or
this court, qualifies me for the effi
cient and economical discharge of its
duties. In other words. I suggest the
wisdom of keeping in a judicial of
ficer. who handles the business of
the widow and the orphan:one whose
demonstrated
fitness has been
actual trial and experience.
by
I have endeavored at all times to
the
meet and treat the public courteous
ly. I want to deserve this reputation
and aim to merit it. My duties re
quire close attention at my office, and
I shall have very little opportunity
to meet the voters so I invite an in
vestigation of my record and shall
appreciate the suport of all those
to whom it appeals.

THE SITUATION

JU8T NOW all eyes are turned to
ward Washington and Berlin.
For more than four long and drea •
ful years, two great and powerful
armies have been in a life and deaib
struggle. Cermanv has everted every
ounce of her strength to overconi.«
an ever-increasing army of the aliie*.
but has now lost the advantage of of
fensive aotiou. and is now on the de
fensive.
Every day sees her once proud and
well-trained army falling back from
one position of defense to another,
until the retreat amounts to almost a
rout.
The german war lords see this and
are in dire straits for reserves. As
a result Bulgaria has surrenderee.
Turkey will soon follow, and in less
than six months from now, Austria
Hungary will be asked by these same
masters to do likewise, thus bolster
ing up a now badly-defeated german
war machinç, and from every appear
ance the decisive battle that will end
this war and bring in an era of world
peace WILL BE FOUGHT ON GER
MAN SOIL.
It Is well for us Americans not to
Vie too optimistic. The war is not at
an end yet. The hardest tiattles are
yet to be fought. Thousands of men
who are now in cantonment camps
and at home, must go to the front,
and we will need to support them
by Increased production of ail crops.
Also by the purchase of LIBERTY
BONDS AND THRIFT STAMPS.
Let here be no cessation of our ac
tivities here, but rather increase
them. Let Berlin and Washington
know that the last man. woman and
child is a willing volunteer in this
igantic struggle, until the enemy is
crushed and peace is secured.
