Public School Notes

Lawrence Terhaar joined the
freshmen, and Henry Zodrow the
juniors this week.
The teachers all attended the
institute last week at Nezperce
and while the attendance was
not so large, they report it the
most interesting and beneficial
that they have ever attended.
Cottonwood schools are sure to
profit by the weeks work. Sew
eral splendid instructors were
there, including DR.. Belts from
Cornell, President Brannon from
the University Of Idaho and
President Elliot from the Lewis
ton State Normal.
Examinations are on this week
and some pupils who have played
too much are quite nervous.
Next weeks news will contain
the names Of the pupils in each
grade who have made the highest
advancement on their grade
cards. BY this it is hoped to en-
courage the weaker students to
do their best. Parents should
notice these grade cards, and
encourage their own boys to do
the best work.
The manual training boys have
some nice work to exhibit now.
Basket ball practice is in full
swing now and some splendid
material for two winning teams
is being developed by Albert
Herboth who has consented to
coach the teams. They will soon
be ready to challenge any Camaa
prairie team.
Penurious? What does that
mean, dad?
Penurious means close, my lad.
You're right then, dad, in tell
ing us that Mr.. Blanks penurious
last night-well, can tell you he
was awfully close to Marjorie.
What have you lost, freshie?
A parcel of poems.
A parcel of poems, well, can't
you write 'em over again?
Yes, but there was a ham sand
wich wrapped up in it.
"The grace of perseverance is
the most important Of all; it
crowns all other graces."

Sheep Travel in Style

Purebred livestock has come to
be recognized as being so impor-
tant an adjunct to successful
farming within recent years that
nothing in the way of good treat
ment is too fine for them and it
is no uncommon occurrence to see
them travelling around the coun-
try in automobiles the same as
well to do citizens. J. B. Luchte-
field, who owns and operates a
fine farm north of town, recently
purchased nineteen head of pure
bred Shropshire sheep from a
shipment of 100 head that had
been received at Grangeville from
a prominent breeder near Boise.
The sheep were received here
Tuesday morning and were load
ed onto Fat Hamlin's auto truck
and hauled out to their new
home, the fine leader of the
flock being transported in state
by himself in the owners car.
The sheep are some Of the best in
the state and were purchased by
several of the leading farmers
and stockmen of the county who
will use them to improve the
standard of the fiocks through
out the county.
Mr.. Luchtefeld is adopting the
proper method in putting in a
nice flock on his farm, for they
will not only pay a handsome
profit in wool and mutton and for
sale as breeding stock, but will
be invaluable in keeping down
the growth of weeds on the farm
and converting otherwise worth
less pasturage into the cheapest
meat on the market.

Should Hughes b.

repealed. Should Hughes be
elected, however, these measures
may be repealed before they
have heen given an opportunity
of proving their great value t.
the nation and our people will
again be sold back into bondage
70 Wall Street. Hughes is a
Wall Street man and has been
rom the start. He is now being
lacked by the big interests who
ure moving Heaven and earth to
lect him. Should he go into the
White House he will become a
ool to do their bidding, and this
bidding will be in favor of the
)lutocratic element and against
he common people.
Do you want to play into the
lands Of Wall Street, dear read
r?
Can you afford to take chances
losing the great acts of bene-
lcial legislation that have been
,assed for the benefit of your
elf and your neighbor? Have
'ou any assurance that your spe-
:ial grievance will receive any
)etter treatment with Hughes in
he chair than under Wilson?
instead of munitions going across
he waters do you wish the
young men of the nation going
along to use them, and perhaps
against those you hold dear?
These are momentous ques-
tions and should be considered
most carefully before your vote
is cast next Tuesday. On your
decision may rest the peace
and prosperity of the nation for
years to come, for one false step
at a critical time often means de-
struction. Why not leave we'll
enough alone.

The Eagle has noticed several times
lately wagons laden with gravel for
the county good roads passing along
Main street. We do not believe this
should be permitted, for the reason
the gravel necessarily Sits out and
falls on the paved street. Heavy traf.
fic passing over this gravel grinds It
into the pavement with more or less
damage to the street. Paved streets,
in our opinion, come too high to be
ground out in this way.
