SCHOOL CLOSED TUESDAY.
Vacation Started Early on Account Of
Epidemic of Colds and Absences.

A vacation of two weeks, during the
holiday season, commenced Wednesday,
the Grangeville schools being closed
Tuesday. On account of the preva-
lenee of colds or grippe there have
been great number of absences, as
many as fifty per cent of the pupils of
some of the rooms being absent on ac-
count of illness, and some of the teach
ers also being unable to attend to their
duties, and therefor it was determined
that it would be best that the holiday
vacation season commence early and
the absence of pupils would not cut in
and disjoint the work of the school

of grippe but many are still affected

DAIRYING WILL COME.

Camas prairie may not properly be
classed as a dairy country but this
industry will be carried on here to
marked degree just the same as time
passes. The lack of green pasture dur
ing the dry harvest months will be
overcome by the silo and in this way
dairying can be made almost as great a
success here as in the most favored
dairy districts. Where forage plants,
corn and grain can be grown in such
abundance as here the silo is the only
way to conserve the green food for the
dairy cow and the sooner the farmer
realizes this fact and puts up silos and
fills them with green feed for the late
summer and winter months the sooner
will he begin to rake down big profits
from dairying as an adjunct to regular
farming. Cottonwood Chronicle.

Pacific Jurisdiction w. o. w. Rates
Not Raised-Some Misunderstanding.

Newspaper reports have led many to
believe that assessments in this order
have been raised but such is not the
case as Head Consul Boak's letter
printed in full will show.
The Pacific jurisdiction has a large
surplus fund ($7,lo0,0 100000 invested in
good securities and this fund is get
ting larger every day so it is entirely
improbable that the rates ever will be
increased. In connection with the
above, Mr.. R. H. Amber has submitted
letter which explains the rate ques-
ton. 1t is as follows:

Esteemed Neighbors:
During the last few days / have been
deluged with inquiries regarding an As
sociated Press dispatch, dated Chicago,
Illinois, November 16, 1915, calling at
tention to the action of Judge Windes,
of the Circuit Court of Cook County
Illinois, in refusing to enjoin the Wood
men of the World from increasing its
assessment rates.
In explanation of this matter, will
say that the Sovereign Camp, Wood
men of the World, with headquarters
at Omaha, Nebraska, at it's session il
July of this year, made slight change:
in its table of rates, and as | under
stand it, the new table went into eff
feet September LIST, the proceedings t.
enioin the society from putting its new
table of rates into effect being brough
by member of the order residing il

This action does not in any way re

an entirely separate organization, hav
ing its own table of assessment rates
is governed by its own contribution an'
