WHO GOT THE y
MONEY! THAT'S ALL
Facts Showing Who The
Prizes Were Awarded
To--"Nuf-sed"

I have closed for the present the
controversy as far as l am concern
ed as regards the exhibits at, Spo-
kane last fall. The discussion has
very clearly demonstrated to all who
was to blame for the injustice done
this Potlatch District in that exhibit
and it is also in evidence that it was
done without the order or consent of
the Chamber of Commerce. Under
the above caption, however, Mr.. Or
cutt makes another charge upon
which beg space for a few state
ments of facts. When the Moscow
fair closed the understanding was
that all premiums won by the Ken
drick branch as the exhibit was
to be sent to me to distribute to the
winners of the same. 81 prizes was
awarded the Kendrick branch
amounting to $1,000 of which $47.
was sent to me in checks and every
dollar was accounted for as the re-
turned checks will show. There
was eight prizes awarded this branch
amounting to $17.OO that were not
paid by the Moscow fair association
and are still due the contestants. It
was still further understood. that all
premiums awarded to the Juliaetta
branch of the exhibit should be sent
to them direct. of this amount I had
nothing whatever to do and never re-
ceived a penny of it. Mr.. circuit
was Secretary of the fair association
long after it closed and drew his SAL
ary there for and yet he refused to
send them their prize money. On
December 10Th tw- months after the
fair Mr.. Orcutt received a letter from
Mr.. Schuffer calling his attention to
the delay in forwarding the prize
money. Mr.. Orcutt refused to at
tend to the matter or notify the
association. On the 18th of this
month or two months latter Mr.. Orcutt
tries, by inference, make the people
of Juliaetta believe I had got away
with their prize money which is not
true and any one doubling the truth
fulness of this statement l invite
your personal inspection of the fair
associations books at Moscow and
learn for yourselves who got the
money. Iwant to say to the people
of Juliaetta. that you was awarded
nine prizes at Moscow fair amount
ing to $17.0O.
AS follows to wit.
John Behrens. ounces, 1st prize 81.
w. S. Leland. sunflowers 1st prize
ST.. W.Bochram, water MELONS 1st
prize, So. Turner, & Frazier. cauli-
flour, lst prize. 81. F. Schaffer larg-
est pumpkin. 1st prize, So. F. Schuf-
fer 1st award on four varieties Of
grapes So. each. If you have not
received the above amounts write the
fair associa ton at Moscow in regard
to the same. I want to say to the
people of Juliaetta that every person
that contributed to the display in
the Latah County fair was awarded
first prize. What section of the
County done as we'll? None.

MOTHERS CLUB
FOR KENDR|CK
An Organization To Help
Better Conditions of
The School

Every patron in town should have
been at the high school last Friday.
Come out and see what we are doing
and you will 60 away feeling better.
Every one should have heard the
high school pupils debate the ques-
ton, Resolved: That the right of suf-
ferage should not be given to women.
The debate was fine and each of
the debaters covered himself with
glory. The decision was rendered in
favor of the negative. Another
very interesting and instructive fea-
ture of the program was talk by
Prof. Solan, of the State University.
1t was of special interest to see pat
rons, and its success can best be
illustrated by the interest and salts
faction of those who heard it. Ask
them. We were pleased to have so
many patrons out, and trust that
next time we shall see double the
number. Remember that we now
have a mothers club" newly Or
ganized withiMrs. Walter McCrea as
president and Mrs. Geo. Roach Sc
cretary. Also remember that the
school needs the cooperation of
every mother in the community. We
trust that all will get in and help
to make the Mothers Club a success.
The school needs your help and at
the next meeting we hope to see
more of the patrons out. In addi-
ton to the entertainment furnished by
the school, we will have some one
from the outside to make an address.

ARKANSAS BOYS RECORD
Makes New Record and Wins Many
 Prizes.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Hot Springs.-The following is record of the possibilities of an Ark ansas farm:
 The boy who made this record 172 2-3 bushels of corn on one acre did his work under great physical diff faculties, and while he is now IS years old he is the size of an average boy of 13 or 14 years. Five years ago Willie Brown was acting as janitor of a country church in Ashley county and suffered a severe injury by a gaso- line explosion, his companion having been killed. Young Brown was left cripple, one foot being badly injured. In spite of these physical difficulties he has established new record in Arkansas and possible in the entire Southwest.
 The work of growing this corn was under the direction of Government Agent R. NJ. Sivils in Ashley county, and the farm is located eight miles from Hamburg. His report to the gov erI. Ient agent is complete and shows that the expense of raising this acre of corn which produced 172 2-3 bush els was 14 2-10 cents a bushel. The work of planting and cultivating was done by young Brown, and the corn was gathered, measured and weighed by three disinterested neighbors, James Lee, Thomas Williams ard R. s. Watkins of Mist, Ark, these men making sworn statement of the re- suit to the government farm agent.
 Among the prizes won this year by young Brown are: $17.00 in money from the Ashley county fair, $100 in cash offered by Congressman Good win, free trip to Washington and re- turn, $50 premium offered by a seed company and course in a state agri- cultural college.
 Young Browns record in corn grow- ing has been progressive one. Three years ago he began cultiyating one acre under direction of the farm de- mcnstration agent and that year pro- duced 54 3-4 bushels an acre. Last year his record was 124 bushels an dCIe, btlhS llISt OI HIS county duu state and so far as the government farm agents know at this time he is first in the Southwest.
 Next year young Brown is going to try four acres and hopes to win a new record on this larger acreage
 He also has produced this year one bale of cotton from an acre of ground which turned out 513 pounds of lint from 1,500 pounds of seed cotton. Young Brown is now in school at Hamburg, although his friends are try ing to persuade him to have an opera tion performed on his foot with the hope of permanently healing it.

If the gypsy or brown tail moth should become established in Arkansas, as is likely to be the case, if no inspection is made. the federal Board of Horticulture would be com pelled to declare quarantine against the state, and such quarantine would work a tremendous hardship
 "The Arkansas Agricultural Exepri- ment Station has made repeated at tempts to have the proper legislation passed in order to meet this condition, but has met with no success. At the next meeting of the legislature another bill will be presented, which if pass ed, will make the necessary provis- ions of keeping out these and other dangerous pests and plant diseases.
