A Speed Limit.

Since the coming of the auto tc
the prairie il has been the custom OF
all drivers to 60 whatever pace
pleased their fancy through the street
of Nezperce, for there has been NO
local law to regulate the speed of
cars here though horse vehicles are
held down to seven miles an hour.
However, his fact has not been gen.
orally abused, but now and then a
"shofer" would seemingly bring all
his power into play on run down
Main street.
For this class the city council has
decided to establish a limit of about
eight miles an hour, and an ordinance
is being drafted to that end. This
ordinance will make other require
ments, such as head and tail lights
at night, ETC., etc. And the chances
are that Marshal Johnson will see
that the new law is proerly observed:
as such regulations are observed in
other towns and cities.

DR.. J. Paul Jones of Nezperce and
Miss Carolyn Miller of Keyser, West
! Virginia, were united in marriage at
the home of the groom's uncle, DR..
]. M. Lyle, at Peck on Tuesday
morning, Rev. H. B. Emmel of the
M. E. church performing the cere-
mony.
The wedding was modest in its
pretentions and was witnessed by a
few immediate relatives and friends
of the contracting parties. 1t was
followed by very excellent wedding
breakfast, served by Mrs. Lyle, af-
ter which the bride and groom took
the train for Lewiston. They were
met at Lewiston. They were met at
Lewiston by Mr.. York Herren of
this city who brought them to Nez-
perce in Dr.. Jones auto, the party
arriving here about 500 p m The
newly welded pair entered at once
upon the business of housekeeping in
the B. L. Schultz residence on North
Cherry street.
The bride is charming and very
attractive daughter of one of the old
and highly esteemed families, where
she was the admired of many ad-
mirers, foremost among whom was
our lucky fellowtownsman, the
groom.
DR.. J. P. Jones, who has brought
to our midst this fair lady, though a
resident of the community but few
has thoroughly established
himself as gentleman of highest
rating and physician of such
m arked ability that he has already
built up an enviable practice.
Nezperce extends heartiest con-
gratulations to the groom and
warm welcome to his bride. May
prosperity and happiness ever attend
them.

Inspector Finds Some Fruit Pests.

j. A. Powell, state horticulture in
spector for Idaho, Lewis and Clear
water counties, is over from Grange
vile this week looking after orchard
conditions in this part of the county.
He reports conditions generally
good, but finds some traces of pear
blight and considerable showing of
green aphis, the little green plant
lice whose work is indicated by the
curling of leaves on vegetation.
Here they attack apple and plum and
some ornamental tree, such as elm,
as we'll as rose bushes.
The only practical remedy for
pear blight suggested is the cutting
off of the affected part. A spray is
proposed for the aphis, composed of
one fourth pound of soap to one half
gallon kerosene. Dissolve the soap
in half gallon of hot water; thor
oughly mix with the kerosene, then
dilute in d gallons of water, and
spray directly into the tree. Dilute
in 4 gallons of water for rosebusn
spray.

Nezperce, --Orofino, A.
Manager Mckee and his buncl

Manager Mckee and his bunch of
|rapid-fire ball tossers led the Oro6no
squad into the camp of defeat on the
"bug" town lot last Sunday after
noon, taking 7 runs while the other
fellows got 4, and all this in spite of
the crookedest umpiring our boys
have yet gone against. (Orofno
should shake this stigma, this dis
position of unfairness that seems to
more or less permeate that burg)
The game was every inch con
test and the result was in the air un-
til the ninth inning, when the Nez-
percers walked away with a good
lead.
Hollen, in the box for Nezperce,
maintained his phenomenal record
and was well supported. Only four
hits were charged against him and
no passes. Jewell also did good
wo'k for the Orofno boys and did
his best to give the visitors square
deal besides.
The weather was good and the
fans were out en- masse to witness
the game Nezperce being well rep
resenten among the rooters.
Manager Nc and the local bunch
will take the husky tournament at
next Sunday.

Lest you forget: There are num-
erous cherry orchards on this prairie
right here at home where one
may get the choicest of the fruit at
modest prices. The crop comes on
a little later than that Of the lower
country, but it is just as good, and
for many purposes better. Any
local grower of cherries will be glad
to take your order. Don't overlook
him.

The best CONTEST
OF THEM ALL.
The Better Babies Display at Fair
Promises to Supersede All Others
and il Should.

The management of the Levi.
County Fair Association, wide awake
to all interests of improvement anc
advancement in the line of farm pro.
ducts and all industries adapted tc
its locality, is taking an advance step
this year in giving the "Beltel
Babies a place in their list of prize
winners, and have chosen com
mittee from the "Mother's Mutual
Development Society" of Nezperce
to arrange for this department and
these mothers are very desirous of
making this one of the most interest
ing features of the fair. This can
be accomplished to just the extent
that the parents of the county be-
come interested; especially those
parents who have children of ages to
be entered in the contest.
The Better Babies movement was
started FIVE years ago in one of the
southern states, and the prize win
ners at that first contest have been
raised along methods of standardiza-
tion and today are source of pride
to the state.
Up to the time of the beginning of
this movement, the greatest natural
asset we have ever had or ever will
have-the American child-had
been totally ignored in the govern
ment and local campaigns for better
products. But the interest has
grown SO rapidly, that at this time
more than half of the most progress
i've states of the Union have adopted
the "Better Babies" movement, and
are putting it in to practice after the
most earnest fashion.
The United States has verify start
ed after a new record-Better Ba-
bies, and the record will be based en-
quality. Just as this nation has
made the rest of the world respect
its "bumper" crops of corn and
wheat, its cattle and its hogs, its
we'll made shoes and its cotton goods,
so it now proposes that the entire
world shall acknowledge the suprem-
acy of its babies.
The United States has standard
izsd most of its products grain and
i've stock, the food we eat, the water
and milk we drink, the clothes we
wear, the factories where the food
and clothing are made, the efficiency

he public schools in which these
workers are trained. But only lately |
lave students Of human energy and
efficiency realized that time and
money could be saved by standard
zing little Americans in their earliest
months.

,ibit of babies where judges aud

Startles Nation and Gives Ominous

LATER reports are to the effect
that the American note is now on its
way and will be published tomorrow;
that it is much more friendly than
first intended, and that it leaves
plenty of room for handling the
German trouble automatically and

statement after resigning, which is

Washington, June 8.-William
Jennings Bryan, three times Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency
of the United States and the author
of nearly thirty peace treaties with
the principal nations of the world,
resigned today as secretary of state
as dramatic sequel to his disagree
ment with President Wilson over the
governments policy toward Ger
many.
The resignation was accepted by
the president. The cabinet then ap-
proved the response which had been
prepared to the German reply to the
Lusitania note. Acting Secretary
Robert Lansing will sign the docu-
ment and tomorrow it will be cabled
to Berlin.
Secretary Bryan will return to
private life tomorrow, when his res
ignation takes effect. 1t was learned
that he intends to continue his politi-
cal support of the president.
Rather than sign the document
which he believed might possibly
draw the United States into war, Mr..
Bryan submitted his resignation in :
letter declaring that "the issue in
volved is of such moment that to re-
main member of the cabinet would
be as unfair to you as it would be to
the cause which is nearest my heart
namely, the prevention of war
The president accepted the resig-
nation in a letter of regret, tinged
with deep personal feeling of affec-
ton The letter constituting the
official announcement of Mr.. Bryan's
from the cabinet to private
life were made public at the White
House at s o'clock tonight.
Washington, June 8.-The policy
of the United States toward Germany
-an insistence on the observance of
neutrality rights and safeguarding of
the high seas-was determined finally
today at cabinet session.
Secretary Bryan's resignation had
been submitted and accepted VIII en-
the meeting convened and he TOOK
little part in the discussion. The
note, which is to be sent to Germany
tomorrow, was read over the last
time to the cabinet by President Will
son.
The resignation of Mr.. Bryan,
who advocated course that under
no circumstances would involve the
United States in war, spread the i'm
preston that the president and his
cabinet had decided firmly that the
rights of the United States must be
upheld in any eventuality that may
arise While no inkling as to the
