A REAL AMERICAN.
There is something typically American
in the letter of Lieutenant Otto Still
inger to his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Still-1
He had been on the
inger of Moscow.

of the fiercest fighting during the clos
ing days of the war. He had seen his
companions shot down at liis side. He

sick, but he continued at his work and
fired the last shot at the Huns just as
the clock struck 11 on the 11th day of

r, when the
the 11th month of the
Huns laid down their arms and quit.
During all of this fighting, when eve
ry minute might be his last, be did not
write to his parents and friends where
he was.
Tf he was to die he would die
as an American, doing his duty, and
would save his parents and friends the
worry he knew they would endure had
they known of bis peril. When he came
through alive and unwounded and the
danger was all over, he wrote his par
ents and told them where be bad been
and what he had seen.
"We may go to Germany as part of
the army of occupation." he wrote, "but
T don't care to go. We are through
and I am ready to go home. 1 have
seen enough."
Isn't that typically American? The
Huns could not win against a spirit
Eke that—a spirit that thought of-Others
first, but did its duty quietly and well
and when that duty was done, wished to
return to the peaceful pursuits and the
quiet life of peace times. It is that spir-I
it manifested by 2,O0O,(X)n of the very
flower of young American manhood
that brought the war to 'an end one
year before the English and French be
lieved it could he ended.
It is the true American spirit.

PLAY FAIR.
ft has repeatedly come to our atten
tion that some organizations are con
ducted on a rather peculiar plan so far as
their attitude toward the press is con
cerned.
Before a meeting the notices arc num
erous. There seems to be no end to
the quantity of free advertising that
seems desirable.
When the more or less important
meeting or other event is over, however,
nobody goes an inch out of his way
to notify the press of what was done.
The free advertising notices are not fol
lowed by compensating notices of "what
was doing," and tin's system is very un
fair.
Thc press, which gives freely of its
space to boost organization is surely
entitled to consideration after the
boosting period is deemed past and tbe
news period commences. — Kootenai

CUT COST OF WHEAT TRANS
PORTING.
By utilizing a logging railroad to
transport wheat the county agent of
Wallowa county, Oregon, brought about
a saving of between $8000 and $9000
to tbe farmers in one section of tin
county. Attention of the state public
service commission was called to tin
fact that the logging railroad, by han
dling (he wheat could save farmers a
considerable part of the trouble and ex
pense of a 40-mile haul to a railroad
station. Upon the recommendation of the
commission the logging railway hauled
90,000 bushels of wheat, which was mov
ed at about one-half the cost of hauling
in the usual way.—Orofino Tribune.
