REGISTRATION Will
CLOSE TOMORROW
Can Register Before Judge
on Election Day

Latah county voters who want to
take part in the coming primary
election, September 5, and who are
not registered have only two days
in which to do so. The registra-
tion books close for thirty days be-
ginning tomorrow night. All per-
sons who did not vote in the gener-
al elections two years ago must
register before they will be eligible
to vote in the primaries.
Voters may register before any
jnstice Of the peace or any notary
public. Voters who have moved
from one precinct to another, or
who have moved to this county
from some other county, must pre-
sent transfer showing the change
of residence when they register.
Even when voters fail to regis.
ter before the books close they still
have another chance on the day OF
the election, when with the assist.
ance of some registered freeholde1
living in the same precinct who
will vouch for the voters eligibility
they may go before the election
judge and be registered. This en-
tails considerable time, and trouble
and voters will find registration
now more convenient than to wal
until the day of election.

year is over two million dollars and
that there will not likely be over
two carlords Of fruit shipped from
that valley this season.
The prune crop here is light but
but the quality is good. Probably
half crop will be the average this
year. C. H. CARLY has a splendid
crop but his orchard has had the
best of care ever since it was SET
out. Mr.. Sinsel made the remark
that it was one of the best looking
crops that he had seen this year.
All prune growers, whether they
have a large crop or a small one
are urged to communicate with
C. G. Compton and give him a gen
eral idea as to the amount of prune'
they will have to sell this fall. Thi

can be made as to the number O.

Hotel Tuesday night at seven
o'clock. After the dinner hour a
business meeting was held and i'm

course consisting of four enter
tainments. The numbers and prob
able dates are as follows: Hawaiians

November, 80; Lyndon-G Gordon Co..
February 8; DR.. Sutcliffe, lecturer,
March 7. The price of the course
will be 1925, and to raise this
amount it will be necessasy to sell
a number of tickets before hand in
order to guarantee the finan-
cial success of the course. Last
year the lyceum course was a
great success, due largely to the
untiring efforts of N. B. Long and
Prof. Best. Both of these men and
L. G. Peterson were appointed as a
committee to see to the advance
sale of tickets. A canvas of the en-
tire community will be made and
the united support of Kendrick and
vicinity should be given to promote
this series of entertainments. Those
who attended the course last year
were so we'll pleased with it that it
ought to be an easy matter for the
ones in charge, to sell them tickets
again this year. In addition to
these four numbers a home talent
play will probably be given by the
Kendrick school. The price fixeC
for the season ticket will be two
dollars.
