public-spirited citizen. The posi-
bilities for progress offered by an
animated Commercial Club cannot
be overestimated. Then there are
some movements too large for in
dividual effort; movements so large
and far reaching that to carry them
through to successful finish re-
quires the combined prestige, inf1u-
ence, and dynamic energy of the
leading minds of the whole COM
munity. Then in dealing with
public service corporations, amuse-
ment companies, and other business
concerns Of a public nature, the
Commercial Club will at once COM
mand attention and consideration
where the individual or even the
Town Council would be ignored.
Now, for example, if we had our
live citizenry so organized, the
matter of securing suitable wait
ing room for women at the Kend-
rick depot should be no difficult
task. The Commercial Club would
take up the matter with the proper
railroad officials and show that the
present Accommodations are made
quate; that the large passenger
traffic of which Kendrick is the
center should be given better depot
conveniences and it is quite possible
that the company would grant the
request as matter of course.
Then as rapidly as the CONNER
cial Club could work out the details
crusades would begin against the
rubbish piles in the back yards,
against the vacant lot eye-sores,
against all stagnant, and filthy
places that become breeding grounds
for mans pestilential enemies.
When this work was we'll under
way, l would try to interest the
Club in means and plans for Town
Hall providing among other things
large assembly room for public
meetings and public amusements
Such room would be well Lighted
and ventilated, furnished with com
Portable seats, and so tastefully de
signed and artistically finished that
under no circumstances could it be
mistaken for a livery barn. Cam
paigns for the City Beautiful woulC
have a prominent place in my ad
ministration; campaigns for repair
ing and painting the shabby
weather beaten buildings; cam
paigns for planting shade tree
along the side streets as well a
along Main Street; and campaign
for parking the streets whereve
practicable.

Home Destroyed By Fire

Wednesday evening about 10:00
o'clock Roy Plummer went home
from town and entered the house.
He was startled by the smell Of
smoke and up'n entering the kit
chen was confronted with large
blaze that had started from the
flue. When the doors were opened
the circulation of air caused the
blaze to fill the house. He was
only able to get out a trunk and
very few bed clothes. The peo-
pie of the town being gathered in
body at the Barnum Theatre were
not aroused in time to be able to
assist in saving the house and it
burned to the ground. The out
buildings were saved by the exer-
tions of those who were able to get
there in time. The house and con-
tents were a total loss to Mrs.
Plummer, covered by insurance. A
modern bungalow will soon take
the place of the burned structure.

Look Over Your Machinery

Repairs when needed are needed
very much as rule. Farm work
will not ordinarily permit of delays
while repairs are coming from the
nearest branch house, or possibly
Chicago, or Moline. Now is none
too early to look over the different
machines, replacing lost nuts, Worn
bolts, defective parts, and most of
all getting orders off for all repairs
likely to be needed. Just recently
gas tractor was laid up for ten
days because the man in charge did
not order repairs when he knew he
should. If we would get the most
out of our equipment we mnst
know that every tool, implement
and machine is in actual readiness
before the day we wish to use it.
The above advice is given by E. w.
Hamilton, agricultural engineer,
Idaho Experiment Station.

JACK JOHNSON NO
LONGER KING FIGHTER

Havana, April 5.-Jack johnson,
exiled from his own country, today
lost his claim to fistic fame as the
heavyweight champion of the world,
the title being wrested from him
by Jess Willard, the Kansas cowboy,
the biggest man who ever entered
the prize ring.
Today's fight probably has no
parallel in the history Of ring bat
ties. For 20 rounds johnson
punched and pounded Willard at
will, but his blows grew perceptibly
less powerful as the fight pro-
gressed, until at last he seemed un-
able or unwilling to go on.
johnson stopped leading and for
three or four rounds the battle be-
tween the two huge men was little
more than series of plastic poses
of white or black gladiator.
So it was until the 25th round.
when Willard got one of his widely
swinging, windmill right-hand
smashes to Johnson's heart. This
was the beginning of the end.
When the round closed johnson
sent word to his wife that he was
all in and told her to start for
home. She was on the way out
and was passing the ring in the
26th round when singing left to
the body and cyclone right to the
jaw caused johnson to crumple on
the floor of the ring, where he lay
partly outside the ropes until the
referee counted 10 and held up
Wizards hand in token of his new
ly won laurels.

Judge Ailshie says the state could
profit by trading two-thirds of it's
laws for one or TWO live general
powers. Judge Stocksllager says
the same. But the bull-headed
legislature passes 1000 pages OF
new stuff, and ignores every need
for a better system or for general
revision. If only they had dozen
lousy hound dogs and a cracked
fiddle, they'd be Arkansas Travellers

philosophy are the same.-Ex.

DR|CK BY A STUDENT

by student, who does not live in

Potlatch. The article was not writ

 time treasurer of Haverly's Minstrels.
 His real career began in 1887 when he obtained control Of Bronson Ho- wards play Shenandoah" Since that time he has been a controlling factor and. at one time. almost the controlling power in the American theater
 Unlike most men of the theater he was intensely shy He shunned pub- licitv and had few close friends; but was loved by ali who came in close
 contact with him. He was man whose word was better than any written contract and in all the long
 years of their association with hin.
 Maude Adams, Johr Drew and Ethel
 Barrymore never had a contract with
 him.
 just what effect the death of Mr. Frohman will have on the coming
 season it is hard to predict: but his
 loss will be surely and widely felt. The Germans have destroyed one of the bulwarks of the theatrical pro- fession, adding another to the last which harmed no man, benefited n,any and which German culture can never restore.
 4 German paper says: Germany stands cleared of any wrong doing
 in the Lusitania tragedy" A few years ago Kipling wrote:
 Cleared - honorable gentlemen - ba thankful it's no more
 The widows curse is on your head
 the dead are at your door: On you the shame of open shame on you from north to south
 The hand of every honest man flat
 heeled across your mouYh.'' That the crusade which is taking place against suggestive, unclean and improper films is fast gaining ardent supporters among the big and in- fluential men in the motion picture ! business, is an evident fact These men who have invested great sums in legitimate screen amusement, pie lures free from immoral suggestion, are beginning to realize that Sensa- : tlonal pictures, more or less unsavory in their story or treatment, yet SC handled as to remain inside the let ter, if not the spirit of the law, arc a decided detriment to the welfare and prosperity of the moving picture
 theatcrs individually and in general They are brought into being by men Who want to get their money quickly and care nothing for the future These producers place the 3lluring i prospect of quick and plentiful if nancial returns before the managers i of the various thedters and the gla- ' mour of the ready cash seldom fails

In ali the ghaStlv tragedy of the "Busitania'' nothing comes home to the theatrical world so heart break mcIy as the death of Charles Froh- man. It seems incredible that "C. r."

Yet today he lies a corpse somewhere in the 6epths of the Atlantic, Shastly witness to the truth of the story of The Hyphen." the last play he ever pro- duced
 It will be recollected that The Hyphen," written by Justus Miles Eorman, who also Was one of the victims of the Luisitania, was pro duced by MT Frohman aoout two Weeks before he sailed. It was a war play dealing with German spies and German treacherS. Mir. Froh- man believed in it and put heart and soul into it's production; but it failed Failed, Mir. Frohman sjeadfastIy believed. because the public could net or would not un- derstand the truth as it was there exposed. Had the play been pro duced last Monday instead of four weeks ago it would have unques- uonably been the sensation of the season; but it was produced fOur weeks ago and today it's author and producer lie dead together, victims of the very spirit which they had tried in vain to impress upon the public through their play.
 Mr Frohman has been charged with being purely commercial manager. sacrificing art to dollars; but history will show that no man has done more for the good of the stage, for the benefit of the best in art A hundred productions that brought him no financial returns, countless plays that have had strengthenlng and stimulating eff feet on the progress Cf the staae. ,

 Any theater which has established a following for itself that has built up prosperous and steady business hy offering clean, wholesome and worth while attractions, is a loser by descending to the lewd and sugges- tive It matters not that a large part of the evil of these suggestive pie lures is in the preliminary handling of them, once get the idea planted in the public mind that a theater is of fering picture unfit for women and children to see, the damage is done. Mothers will hesitate to allow heir children to patroniZe that place on the principal that what has happen ed efore may happen again. They take no chances and their patronage goes elsewhere. For every dollar a manager makes on an unwholesome picture he loses two III the long run. It is bad business from any point of view.
 Horace G. Plympton manager of the Edison productions speaks his mind in this manner.
 WHICH d SdIdclOuS photoplay is sent upon the market il not only acts like. a boomerang on the man who is responsible for put ting it out, by rebounding and strik- ing the sender, but it also hurts the innocent producers who rely on strictly legitimate stuff to please their public They are at once n- cIUded in the public verdict of GraspinG, heartless pirates of film commerce, who do not care what in jury they may inflict on youthful morals % long, as they get hold oi the desirable dollars.
