School Board
Elects Teachers
LIST bECIDED
PARTIAL
Lets Contracts to Furnish Wood, AudiiS Bills and
Orders Warrants Drawn

The board of education held
its regular monthly meeting last
evening. A number of bills were
audited and warrants ordered
drawn. Bids for furnishing
wood for the schools were opened
and contracts were awarded as
follows. w. f. Chase, one hund-
red cords, G. l.. Jones, fifty cords
and Charles Leavitt, fifty cords.
The question of teachers was
taken up and a partial list decid-
ed upon. f. f.. Lukens was ell
ected superintendent. Only two
of the teachers in the high school
building were settled upon and
the remainder are still under
consideration to be decided upon
at a later meeting.
All of the teachers i'm the Cen
trail school building have been re-
elected for another year. They
are l.. c.. Francisco, principal,
Miss Estelle HOfstetler, Miss An
ma Youngs, Miss Myrtle Weigman
Miss Nellie Kleiber Miss Rosana
Dumas, Miss Edith Hemingway,
Miss Marion Keating, Miss Mil
dred Guile and Miss Mary Por-
ter. Miss Lucy Rawls, who has
taught at Milwaukee the past
year, has been reelected and will
be transferred to the Central build
ing and will take fifth year work
in Miss Dumas grade while Miss
Dumas will teach music in all the
grades.
Although Miss Hemingway has
given perfect satisfaction during
the past year and has been re-
elected by the board she cannot
accept the position. This is ow-
ing to a law that was passed last
winter which prevents the hir-
ing of a teacher who is a relative
of a member of the school board
and as she is a niece of Mr.. Hem
ingway Miss Kelly has been cleo
ted to fill Miss Hemingway's pO-
sition. Principal l.. c.. Francis
co has not definitely decided whe-
ther he will accept the position
for another year.

Air Troubles

Attorney William ID. Keeton
was at Herrick Saturday, being
called there to defend man by
the name of j. M. Montgomery
who was under arrest charged
with assault with a deadly wea-
pom. II. J. Holbrook was the
complaining witness and charged
that on January 7th the defend
ant Montgomery struck him over
the head with a neavy stick five
feet long.
Montgomery and Holbrook are
neighboring ranchers residing
near Calder, between st. Joe and
Herrick They had trouble on
the day mentioned and Holbrook
sworc ON the witness stand that
Montgomery struck him nine
times over the head with heavy
stick five feet long. Mrs. Hoi-
brook claimed to have seen the
assault and repeated The story
as told by her husband. The de-
fendant denied the assault.
After hearing the evidence and
listening to The arguement of At

sented by counsel.

Will Try Jones
Murder Case Here

Crandall, Williams g. Crandall,
of Spokane, the attorneys which
II. C. Jones has retained to de-
fend him on the charge Of muir
der, have made formal applica-
tion to Judge Dunn Of the district
court to have the case transfer
ed to this county for trial. The
alleged crime for which Jones is
held was committed on his home
stead near Pedie last December
before the county was divided,
but as that territory is now in
Benewah county the attorneys ar
gued that this county was the
proper place in which to hold the
trial.
County Attorney Wernette Of
Kootenai county took the same
stand in the matter and Judge
Dunn made the order transferine
the case to this county. The
case was to have been tried at
this term of court but the order
OF the judge acts as a continu-
ance. The papers in the case
have not been received by the
clerk of court of this county as
yet but they will probably be here
in few days, in time so that the
case can be brought on for trial
at the term of court to be held
here in May if the attorneys so
desire.

HOME MADE BROOPERS,

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: As it is time now to be matching our chickens, perhaps these few sug- gestions may help someone, especially if they use an incubator and brooder This is the way we have made our breeders for several years, and they work all right:
 Take a box the size you want, make a frame that will slip loosely into the inch chicken wire and tie strips of woolen cloth about an inch wide and long enough so they will hang down six inches when fastened to the wire Tie into every other mesh. Put some cleats on each side of the box to rest the frame on high enough so the bot tom of the rags will reach within an inch and a half of the floor Cut a hole in the side of the box for a door in and out, and your brooder will be complete when you place the cover on the box.
 They never crowd if the rags are low enough to touch their backs when they are sitting down. If I haven't made this plain enough will be glad to help you to understand it. if you will let me know.
 When the weather gets warm enough so water won't freeze we take a five gallon oil can that we can't use tc on a box or flat stone, the height we want it, then put g. shallow dish or trough under the faucet, turn the fau- cet until the water will drip just enough to keep the dish or trough full We fill ours in the morning and 1t keeps cool all day. We also take butter or lard tubs

HOW THE SOCIAL CORNER DID IT

I stood before my kitchen window and looked down the deserted country road. My heart yearned for com panionship. To be sure, there stood house. a very respectable farm house. with a hospitaible veranda shaded by century old elms. As I watched, Julia Gardner appeared on the Veranda and shook {. braided rug with true house swifeIy brlskness. I choked a sob How I missed Julia! 4
 And 1 turned to knead my bread my mind reverted to a scene which took place seventeen years before. The actors were in this scene were two lit tie girls, The-little girl-Who had al ways lived there was offering to the ittle-girl-who-had- just moved there the first wild strawberry which had ripened in the sunny meadow back of the big red barn.
 Said the little-girl- who had always lived there, I'm glad you're going to live near me, cause I never had any body live near me befOre."
 And the little girl with a strawber- ry stain on her dimpled chin squeezed with shy sincerity the hand of the little -girl-who- had always s-lived there, and said, T guess I'm gladder than you are, for I liked you the first min ute I saw you"
 That was the beginning of a friend ship comparable to that of David and Jonathan in it's tender intimacy. Two weeks ago we had quarreled- the first interruption of it's kind, and it bid fair to be a lasting one. It sprang up over some trif1e, but 1t waxed more bitter until now we were both trying to show the other that we could live without her.
 The arrival of the mail man sent me hastily to the door. Eagerly I grasped his offering. An, The Nor wich Bulletin. That was better than any one letter; for did it not contain a whole page of letters? I could hard ly wait to get my bread into the oven and then I slipped not one.
 I had never thought of writing my self But suddenly the idea occurred to me that I could do as much as tell the Sisters of the comfort and in- spiration which I had received, which might be giving them encourag cement in return. Perhaps, too, I might helI those who were interested, but less experienced than myself in poultry raising. So that day I wrote:
 Dear Sisters: I have come to think Saturday morning the best in the week, with your letters comes the feeling that I am one of big fam fly, and that others are sometimes lonely as I am. My home is sur- rounded by nature in all it's beauty 1 but I long for human nature. I want | you to know that your letters mear | much to me.

 TERTAINENGLY,

Dear Editor and Cornerites: Just a few words to try to express my ap- preciation of your unfailing kindness to me since the accident by which I was temporarily disabled. The mani festations of friendliness did not end with the Sunshine Box of fragrant memory. Other gifts and letters have since reached me.
 How surprised and pleased I was on the Fifth Anniversary, when one of the packages proved to be a very sweet and helpful booklet sent with the compliments of The Bulletin. The kindness of my friends certainly was a great help to me in my endeavoI to keep cheerful and hopeful and thus has hastened my recovery, which now seems nearly complete.
 Alfne: I am so sorry my postal was so long in reaching you. I did not know that you had moved

HOUSEHOLD HELPS FROM MAY
 FAYRE

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: This is such glorious morn ing, and am going to write just a, few lines to the members of The Corner. l have not written for quite while, as I have been quite busy with my spring sewing, but manage to read the Social Corner page of The Bulletin each week and find the letters just as inter esting and spicy as ever.
 Am sending in a few helps and hints for housewives:
 To remove threads, hair and other clinging material from a carpet sweep CT brush, try using a very coarse scrubbing brush.
 I have found that a shoe horn makes an ideal kettle scraper. Try it and see for yourself.
 Grease spots on kitchen floor can easily be removed by cleaning with al- cohol
 To hang up a broom, drive com con staple in the end of the broom handle: hang on a nail.
 Remove ink spots from wash goods by rubbing with the yolk of an egg be- fore washing.
 A bag of hot sand relieves neuralgia
 In closing I will repeat a quotation I once heard:
 "The bread of life is love;
 The salt of life is work;
 The sugar of life Is poetry;
 The water of life, faith"
 Do l hear anyone say Give us the bread and sugar, never mind the salt? 9
 Best wishes and prosperity to all. MAYFAYRE.

None of you could help loving my brood of little yellow chicks, which are almost lost in the grass of the apple orchard just beyond.

 All the next week thought of my letter. What fun to see my own writing in print! I fancied that I felt just as real author might. The an- tic1pation awakened me a full half hour earlier on Saturday. As the hands Of the clock neared nine, I ran mere frequently than usual to the window. At last the familiar, dust covered vehicle rounded the turn in the road. l saw Julia hasten down the steps, greet the driver and take her mail. From my window I saw her un- fold newspaper and open it.
 ''She's reading The Bulletin before she even gets into the house-Just as l SndlI uO, peELdpS, Sdlu IO LlySSl1, as I went out the side door.
 Sorry I can't give you nothin'" but a paper said the sympathetic mail man.
 Its all I want" I replied, as he drove on.
 I gave a final poke to the fire, put a half pint more water into the boiling beans and gave myself up to my let ters.
 I had hardly finished Rural Delivery's letter when the door burst open. "Oh, Martha! And you have been as lonely for me these three weeks as have been for you? sobbed Julia. Ii was ali my fault. We'll never, never | quarrel -

GREETING FROM FRANK.

Dear Editor and F'riends:-In the past four years I have read The Bull letin Social Corner pages with great interest, and many a time it has brought a smile to a rather long face and l know time tears came to my eyes because of the kindness shown in letters.
 The first card I received from our Home Band was from Ma. At that time I could not write, but I enjoyed the good and helpful letters and stor- ies which were so fine.
 One Sister said she nearly split the cause of them.
 March 18th brought the Social Cor ners Fifth Anniversary with its hoist ed stars and stripes.
 The new writers are warmly vel comed with their helps.
 It is very pleasant to read and hear from older members; and I was cheer ed by cards and letters and a sweet little booklet from The Bulletin. wish to thank you all though not feel ing wholly satisfied with a mere thank you, but I may not be able to an swer all personally. Diana: AS we are in one class hope you have been cheered, too. The Fiftt Anniversary made a lovely page. Aunt Mehitable: Sorry for you1 painful fall. Hope you are much i'm proved.
 Right this way, Brownie! Perhaps you'H find me in some sort of an ole way.
