SENATOR BRADY OUT FOR
BOYS TO GO TO ANNAPOLIS
Must Name Four, One Principal and
Three Alternates, Before July 13.

Senator Brady has vacancy to fill
at the Annapolis naval academy and
must appoint a principal and three
alternates between now and July 10.
The senator desires to hear from all
Idaho bays between the ages of Is
and 20 who desire to enter the naval
academy, and takes this means of
making known the fact that the ap-
pointment is to be made.
At recent examinations held at the
naval academy an unusually large
number OF boys, and especially boys
from the far west, have failed to make
a qualifying mark, ana the failure OF
the senator's last appointees to quail
ify has caused the existing vacancy
Unless there is an unexpectedly heavy
demand for the Idaho appointment
Senator Brady expects to give an op-
portunity to the first four boys who
apply. The entrance examination will
be held July 27.

way TO practically exterminate all
the pests In the fields. The hose Is
attached 10 The exhaust pipe OF his ma
chine, and the other end placed In the
hole where the squirrels abound.
The fumes and gas do their deadly
work, for Mr.. Rambo has dug down In
several places and found dead squir-
rels galore. In some instances the
squirrels will crawl out OF the holes.
only TO soon expire In the open air.
Mr.. Rambo is raising beets and

Best in the Pony Campaign-Mer-
chants Well Pleased.

These are the days when the live
energetic boys and girls are doing
their level best to secure all the
pony votes possible. Some are meet
ing with success but there may be
some who are satisfied to "just drift
along" You are not one of the faint
hearted and ready to drop out, are
you? No! Certainly not. Buckle
right into the contest and make as
good a record as you can. 1t is the
only way to secure prize. The ex-
perience and knowledge of doing your
best will be we'll worth the effort.
Do not be satisfied with an ex-
cuse, but insist that your friends
help is absolutely necessary for you
to win. Explain that what they buy
will not cost them any more at the
pony stores and the votes may Sc
cure you one of the gold watches or
the pony outfit. 1t is just as easy to
gather up pony votes this week as
it was last week. Your friends have
to buy something all the time so keep
in touch with them that they may not
forget you.
In a contest of this kind as in the
daily walks of life, 1t is the hustlers
who win something worth while
Those who do not bring into action
the right kind of effort will lose, oi
course. Remember, you have just
as good a chance as anyone else
There are opportunities to secure
pony votes every day. Just keep youl
eyes open and 'be on the Job" al
