An ACCOUNT Of
HULL'S TRIP EAST
Many Points of Interest Were
Visited

Following is an account of Mr..
and Mrs. Hull's eastern trip. They
have kindly furnished the Gazette
with some of the most important
incidents of the trip. They visited
"a number of former residents of
Kendrick and we believe our read
ers will be interested to hear of
them.
Having been asked to tell of
our trip east, would state that we
left Kendrick January 10. Our
first stop was in Spokane where we
visited Mrs. Hull's sister. Eighteen
of the family sat down to New
England dinner.
Standpoint was the next stop.
The thermometer registered below
zero and the snow drifts were from
one to six feet deep. We met Mr..
and Mrs. D. J. Rowlands, formerly
of Kendrick; also Hines the photo
grapher, now mayor of Standpoint;
and Nagle, who used to be the N.
P. Agent here. From Standpoint to
Minneapolis the weather was very
cold, the temperature at Dickinson,
Mont, was fifty-six below zero.
We were met in Minneapolis by
Mr.. Hull's son and daughter who
took us to Melrose in their private
car. While there we saw the Birth
of a Nation" In Minneapolis we
spent the day with Mrs. Case, mother
of Mrs. Hoyt.
We stopped while in Chicago
and from there went to Owego, N.
Y, the burial place of Pocahontis.
From there we went to Ithaca, N.
Y, where Cornell University is
located and visited sister, Mrs. P.
Golden.
At Springfield, Mass, we were
guests of the Shermans. Mrs.
Sherman is known in Kendrick as
Miss Icy Curtis and was former
teacher here. Her husband is
physical director in the Y. M. C. A.
We visited many historical places
of interest at Boston, among them
the old state house, Bunker Hill
Monument, Old Church, and the
Book Store Around the Corner,
places for which Boston is renown-
ed. At Harvard University we saw
Ralph Greene, whose father used to
be depot agent here.
From Lewiston, Maine, Mrs.
Hulps old home, we took a trip
with Mrs. Hull's sister and friends
to the White Mountains in New
Hampshire. We also saw the
paper mills in operation.
On our return home we stopped
two days in Chicago on account of
sickness, and spent short time in
Kansas City on business, and from
there went to Independence, Kan
sas, where we met many old friends.
At Salina, Kansas, we stayed with
Mr.. Hull's son, c. B. Hull, former
ly merchant of Juliaetta. Most
of the time at Salina Mr.. Hull suf-
fered with the grippe which settled
into rheumatism.
We stayed in Denver a week. In
at Falls, Montana, we visited a
grandchild.
The railroad service in the east is
no better than in the west, in fact
the cars are not so good and the
Accommodations generally do not
come up to what we are used to on
our western roads.
We are glad to be home once
more and in all our ten thousand
mile journey we found no better
country than Kendrick and vicinity"

ALL CITIZENS SUBJECT
May be Called Upon For Military
Service Whether Members OF
the Guard or Not.

Washington. Dec. 29.-Every able
bodied male citizen of the United
States between the ages of 18 and As
years is held liable for service in the
national guard in war time. without
further act OF congress, by war de-
partment regulations for the govern
ment of the guard issued under the
national defense act. In circular pre-
pared nearly two months ago but
made public only today, the militia
bureau directs that where national
guard regiment is called out for war
service, q reserve. training battalion
to fill vacancies at the front shall be
organized out Of the national guard
reserve and by voluntary enlistment.
III for any reason" the order con-
tinues, there shall not be enough re-
servists or enough voluntary enlist
ments to organize or to keep the re.
serve battalions at prescribed strength
a sufficient number Of the inorganic
ed militia shall be drafted by the
president to maintain such battalion
or lesser unit at the prescribed
strength"
The language follows closely that
Of tho national defense act, in which
the unorganized militia is defined as
including every able bodied male cit
izen within the prescribed age limit
Of those who have declared their in
tention Of becoming citizens.

expired term OF office on the fourth
ballot at an adjourned meeting Of
the board of county commissioners at

son /. The fourth ballot. resulting in
Mr.. Smiths election, was: H. P.
Smith 4, Jonas Lenz /, Otto Mathia-
son 1.
Mr.. Donovan's death not only Great
ed a vacancy on the board, but left
that body without chairman, as we'll.
Before electing successor, Thomas
F. Mooney Of Fergus was appointed
chairman pro tenn. After Mr.. Smith
nau uuaHHeu, MT. mooney was ap-
pointed chairman of the board dur
ing Mr.. Donovan's unexpired term.

worse in time of national trouble, for
it is not doubted that thousands Of

judgment is comparative. Compare
the cadet with his unframed fellow
after leaving school as he follows his
chosen business or profession. He
has heen taught courage and self re-

applies to his work the system and
orderliness he has been taught and
which is second nature to him now.

PROSECUTE DONOR

can be made against the person who
made the 25-cigar bombs, recently
sent through the mails even IL he is

The fact that the maker did not

ton leaves us without culprit''
To date two persons had been seri-
ously hurt by trying to smoke the
cigars, Nine OF the 25 have tn Us far

TEACHERS AID
BEING SOUGHT
State Board Of Health Issues Bulletin
on Spread Of Baby
Plague.

With the opening of the public
schools the state board Of health and
health officials generally are max
ing renewed efforts to guard against
the spread of infantile paralysis.
Teachers and principles throughout
the state have been asked by DIR. g. H.
Sumner, secretary of the state board
of health, to cooperate with health
officials in stamping out child plague.
Visiting nurses and medical inspec-
tors can do a great work In re-estab-
fishing normal health conditions
among the children, Dr.. Sumner de-
clares.
1--WE do not feel that the opening
of the schools will retard the work
Of checking infantile paralysis" said
DR.. Sumner today. Instead, think
it will help us. With the precaution-
ary measures being taken in every
city and town In the state and with
each case of the disease isolated. there
is not much danger in getting the
children together in the schools. pro-
vided the medical inspection service
Is continued In an efficient manner.
"One thing we strongly advise
against is the practice Of kissing chill
dren. The disease can be spread IN
this way more readily than in any
other. kissing among children, es-
pecially, should be discouraged.
