Elevator at Uniontown

Farmers of the Uniontown sec
tion will evade the sack nuisance
and this year large majority plan
to market their grain in bulk. The
Uniontown cooperative association,
operating at Uniontown and Leon,
are just completing two grain ele-
vators to handle this years grain
crop, the elevator at Uniontown
having a capacity of one hundred
thousand bushels and the elevators
at Leon having a capacity of sixty
thousand bushels. The Washington
Water Power company has crew
of men engaged at this time in
wiring both elevators to furnish
power and light. A grain elevator
is being constructed at johnson,
Wn., also, and the power company
is now extending it's line to that
point so as to serve that elevator.
Genesee already has an elevator

Latah Fair Parade

The Latah County Fair will hold
big parade on the opening date
of the fair. Neighboring towns
are to be given places of honor for
floats and industrial displays. Even
the politicians are to have a place
in the line. The democratic Sec
tion will be headed by float drawn
by six mules and the republicans
will probably be headed by an ele-
phant team. All local candidates
will follow in their respective band
wagons. At least 200 automobiles
are expected to join the parade and
many other attractions will be
shown.

Letter From France

The following letter was received
by o. E. MACPHERSON, from his bro
ther, Lieutenant F. S. MACPHERSON,
who is in the Canadian army. Com
ing, as it does, direct from the bat
tie line, it will probably be Of inter-
est to the readers of the Gazette.
France, June 8, 1916.-Just a
few lines to let you know l am still
alive and kicking like a mule. l
have been very lucky since l came
to France. Ihave been at the front
eighteen months now and have only
been wounded once. l have a COM
mission now and also won the Mill
tary Medal so / have not done too
bad, but l won't be a bit sorry
when it is all over for it sure is
hell. We don't worry about it for
we have got used to it. 1t is just
the same as working in civil life
only little more exciting and noisy.
Last night went out for ride on
my horse and while was away a
German Plane came over and drop
ped bomb just back of my shack.
1t did very little damage but l think
he had his nerve. don't you?
Well Mac, l don't know how
much longer l will be over here but
it is a nice country and | am feeling
fine. Never felt better in my life
l have lost the hearing of one ear,
but the other is going strong. My
hair is beginning to go white but
that is caused by shell shocks and ir
a fight it is a hard strain on a man
Outside of that it is all right.

Accidents In Filling Silos

With the opening of the silo fill
ing season there will be frequent
reports of serious and fatal acci-
dents. The manufacturers of sill
age cutters have greatly improved
their construction in recent years,
and most accidents nowadays are
the result of carelessness; practi-
cally all of them can be avoided by
the exercise of reasonable care. In
addition to the exercise of common
sense at the feeding end of the ma
chine, here are some things that
the inexperienced man should do:
|. Be sure that the machine is be-
ing run at the proper speed.
2. Take care that corn is never
put into the machine until the mo-
tion is up to full speed.
8. In stopping, be careful not to
shut off the power until the eleva-
tor is empty. If the elevator is not
empty, the cut material will fall
back and lodge in the fans. Then
when the machine is started again,
the cut corn jams the fans, and as
a result they are bent or broken.

AUTO ACCIDENT
NEAR GENESEE
Car Slid Against Telephone
Pole-MacPherson Hurt

Harvey Roberts had quite
smash-up with his car Sunday while
driving from Genesee to Moscow.
He had five people in the car with
him when the accident happened
and 0. E. MACPHERSON was the only
one hurt. MACPHERSON was thrown
from the car and it is thought,
struck his head against post, cut
ting rather severe scalp wound
and rendering him unconscious for
several hours.
No one seems to know exactly
how the accident occurred. The road
was level and smooth and the occu-
pants of the car state that they
were not travelling over Is or 20
miles an hour when the accident
happened. They started to turn
out of the road for another car
which was coming at distance,
when it is said, the front wheel
gave way throwing the car against
telephone pole. The side of the
car was badly smashed and the tele-
phone pole was broken to pieces
but the occupants of the car, with
the exception of Mr.. MACPHERSON
escaped with only slight bruises.
The car looked like a complete
wreck but it was hauled to gar
age in Moscow Monday and We'd
nesday morning Harvey drove it to
Kendrick. 1t looks as good as new
and is apparently none the worse
from the smash-up.
The names of those who were in
the party are: Leona Joslin, Edith
Compton, Alpha Pierson, o. E..
MACPHERSON, Percy Mckenzie and
Harvey Roberts.

Smut Causes A Loss

Genesee, Aug. 29.-The presence
Of an unusual amount of smut in
the Genesee grain district has re-
suited already in damage to one
machine, while wheat destroyed in
sacks within reach of the fire was
valued at $400. The machine is
owned by Clarence Paige and was
at work on the A. B. Clark farm,
located about eight miles west of
Genesee.

Two Separators Burned

Both of Perry Bakers separators
were destroyed from smut explo-
sions on the Potlatch this week.
The first fire occurred Tuesday and
entirely destroyed the machine. An
old separator was then put into
service the next day and it burned
up Wednesday. S. Douglas who was
separator tender, was painfully
burned about the hands and face in
the second fire.

Carlton and Heimgartner of
Juliaetta had another fire in their
separator this week. 1t occurred
Wednesday and considerable damage
resulted. 1t is steel machine but
the wood parts on the inside, in
cluding the fan, were burned.

School to Open September IL
Pupils Should Begin Planning Their Work for the Ensuing
School Year

school or its equivalent while all
the foremost technical (trade)
schools in this country and Ger
many consider such training as
merely preparatory or the minimum
which every student should have be-
fore entrance and of course it is
conceded that a young man or
woman must spend four, six. eight
or more years beyond the high
school before they are thoroughly
equipped for professional career.
The old argument that a high school
education is luxury because it
fails to teach the dread and but
ter sciences, has no foundation
any longer as far as the modern
high school course is concerned. To
meet this very argument, the Kend-
rick Board Of Education and SUPER
intendent are endeavoring to make
the high school courses practical
and, as fast as funds will permit,
introduce vocational subjects. AL
ready, laboratory has been equip
ped at a cost of several hundred
dollars for the purpose Of practical
instruction in general science, agri-
cultural botany, physics, and this
year they expect to offer training
in studies Of agriculture and COM
mercial chemistry. Even such
subject as geometry classed by the
ancients as logic and until quite re-
Gently theoretical science has been
so completely revolutionized that it
may now be classed as vocational.
In fact the new text book to be used
in the Kendrick high school con-
tains some 300 problems pertaining
to architecture, engineering, sur
veying, etc. Other work for the
boys this year will be class in
manual training under the super
vision of Mr.. Ross Chapel. This
course will not be offered for credit
at present but will be open to all
boys desiring a knowledge in the
fundamentals of carpentry and cab
inet-making. Lack of space for
bids the discussion of other new
features in the Kendrick schools
which are being planned for the
coming year. Suffice it to say that
Kendrick can now boast of the lar
gest and best equipped high school
between Moscow and Lewiston.
Mr.. or Mrs. Parent, what do you
think about it? Mr.. and Miss
Eighth Grade Graduate. what are
you going to do about it?
Attention is called to the impor-
tant matter of the pupil entering
school on the first day. Several
students of the high school in the
past year lost their credits for no
other reason than that they were
absent from school at the beginning
or at other times during the term.
An early beginning is better than
late one, late beginning is only
better than none at all. Pupils in
the grades are expected and requir-
ed by the law to be in attendance
from the first day on unless released
by the truant officer becauss they
are sick or needed for support in
their family.
The superintendent will be glad
to assist boys and girls from the
country in finding desirable places
where they may work for theil
board and lodging while attending
school. Any parties in town who
may have such work either for girls
or bows are requested to phone Mr.
l Best.

WOMENS' PARTY
MAKING HISTORY
Party Now Has Power And
Leadership

Almost everything is important,
but most things to their true sea-
son seasoned are.' That is, there
are times when one thing is more
important than another. Sometimes
it happens that one thing is for the
occasion more important than any
other, and it seems to the women
suffragists of the United States
that for the immediate present the
question of the enfranchisement of
women takes precedence of all else.
1t is important in the first place be-
cause practicable plan has been
hit upon. namely, an amendment to
the United States Constitution re-
moving the disability Of sex as a
qualification for voting. If this
amendment is passed by Congress,
and ratified by three-fourths of the
states, it becomes binding upon all
the states, as is proper in repub-
lie where the majority rules. This
is by far the swiftest and simplest
process for attaining the end.
The question of the immediate
enfranchisement of women is su-
premely important at the moment,
also, because for the first time in
history women have the power and
the leadership to enforce their de-
mands. In twelve equal suffrage
states there are four million women
voters-hitherto as sheep without a
shepherd, but the organization of
the Women's Party and the insert
ion of a strong suffrage plank in the
platform of the four strongest poll
tical parties and demonstrations of
a leadership that counts.
The question is important at the
present time, in the third place, be-
cause of the continued admission to
citizenship of aliens, whose tradi-
tions regarding women are not SIM
liar to our own. In six States-Ar-
kansas, Delaware, Indiana, South
Dakota, Texas, West Virginia--a aliens
may, after one years residence in
the United States or within the
State, vote on amendments to the
state constitution if they have de-
clared their intention of becoming a
citizen. Nebraska requires only six
months residence. These compar-
atively ignorant voters are in the
future to pass upon the question as
enfranchising highly bred, college
trained, American born, women of
property and social prominence
and the number of such voters is
increasing. The call to all voting
women to stand shoulder to should
er, to put suffrage first and party
affiliations second in the coming
elections, is one that may not be
LIGHTLY disregarded. The call to
- 20 help enfranchise their fel.
as rarely in all history failed
ON sponse. The slogan Of enfran-
chised citizenship for every woman
should urge to almost a religious
zeal, the spirit of every woman who
has the power to help. A Holy
War is on!-Contributed.

Have you thought about it? Are
you making your plans for pleas
ant and profitable school year? Do
you know that the Kendrick schools
will open Monday, Sept. 18th, bare
ly one week hence?
The long summer vacation is
rapidly drawing to a close, all too
rapidly for many of US and the
time has arrived when the pupils
with the cooperation of the parents
should be planning their work for
the coming year. This applies es-
pecially to eighth grade graduates
and high school students in Kend-
rick and adjacent districts who may
be considering the advisability of
continuing or discontinuing their
education at this time. Perhaps
word or two of counsel and encour-
agement will help them make a
wise choice at this critical period
in their careers.
All arguments to the contrary
the value of high school education
can no longer be discounted. In
deed, the relative value of an edu-
cation has undoubtedly increased
100 per cent in the past two decades
and the increase during the next
ten years will be even greater.
With only a slight expansion of our
imagination we can readily see how
true this is from a study of the
present situation.
Just now no one can foresee the
end of this, the greatest war of all
the ages.
The end may come next year or
it may be five years but this much
we can foresee, that just as surely
as the war has boosted prices and
employment in the United States
during it's short existence. there is
bound to follow a period of great
economic and industrial depression.
The wastage in the war, both hui
man and material, has staggered
our imaginations and approaches
infnity. In view of these facts we
may we'll ask ourselves, can the
United States go on with its pre-
paredness and prosperity without
contributing her share in the pay
ment to be demanded by all law,
natural. artificial, and divine, to
square accounts for the world
folly? Hardly. The time has passed
in the history of civilization when
one nation can profit by the calam.
ity and destruction of others.
What then will be the result when
the war ends? Our customers
most of them, will be bankrupt
competition with goods made by
cheap European labor will be OF
the cutthroat variety, and our for
eign markets will be closed. Labor
will be thrown out of employment
wages will be lowered. and no doubt
without any corresponding reduc
tion in the high cost of living. Tht
question here arises, how can we
the men and women of tomorrow
best fortify ourselves against these
lean years from which there is M
escape? Undoubtedly the best way
out will be through education anC
industrial training. Efficiency ex
parts are telling us that the time il
not far distant when the working
man without education or techina
training will find the avenues O.
employment closed.
What is meant by education an(
technical training? Certainly NJ
one can be classed as educated unit

A. V. LEAGUE COLLAPSES
Pueblo Too Small Village to Support
Organized Baseball

When Pueblo took the Las Animas
franchise in the Arkansas Valley
League it was supposed it would
strengthen the organization. but last
Tuesday they called up the secretary
at La Junta on the phone and notified
him that they were all through. Like
wise they kindly had the message
charged to the aforementioned secre-
tary and thus got out without the
expenditure Of a single jitney. The
league was entirely too classy for the
pocketbooks Of the alleged sports at
Pueblo. The only way that the league
can ever be conducted successfully is
on the basis on which it was run in
19l4-only two salaried men on the
team. Any other manner means bank
ruptcy unless a special angel takes
charge and foots the bills.
