Titanic Wheat"

The department has recently been
advised by a correspondent in Cali
fornia that a variety of wheat is
being advertised under the name
''Titanic. The assertion is made
that it is a new variety of wheat dis
covered in England four years ago
and that a small quantity of seed
was brought to the United States
by one of the survivors of the ILL
fated Titantic. The wheat is repre-
sented as having extremely high
yielding power, the returns reach
ing as high as 7,00O-fold. A photo
graph sent by this correspondent
shows head identical in appear
ance with the widely exploited
"Alaska" wheat. Five acres of the
wheat are said to be growing in the
/, State of Washington, and the seed,
it is believed, will be offered at
high prices after harvest. The
department has no futher or more
definite information concerning this
variety, but farmers and dealers are
cautioned to be on their guard con-
cerning this new exploitation.

John Kennedy Injured

John Kennedy, while digging a
we'll for the Potlatch Electric Co.,
received some painful bruises. He
was in the bottom of the we'll, which
was about ten feet deep, and Frank
Meyers was above, pulling a wheel
barrow full of rock and dirt out of
the we'll with a windlass. When
the load reached the top of the
ground a leg of the wheel barrow
broke spilling the rock on Mr..
Kennedy's head. His injuries were
very painful but not serions. The
well is being dug for an emergency
water supply for the engines.

Latah County Schools

the history of the Latah county
eighth grade schools took the exami.
nations the present year, according
to figures compiled by Miss Dryden,
county superintendent. A list of
the eighth grade pupils has been
prepared by Miss Dryden.
According to her figures 214 d.
plomas were issued to schools ex-
elusive Of Moscow and the Ursuline
academy which did not take the
state examinations this year. Mos
cow is a Class A independent dis
trict, the only one in the county.
According to comparisons only 1853
diplomas were issued in 1915 ex-
elusive of Moscow and Ursuline
academy.
Due to increased interest in edu-
cation. the compulsory attendance
law and better teaching due to the
high standard now required Of
teachers, the records show the small
est per cent of failures in the his
tory of the county. The average
age of the pupils taking the exami-
nations is lower. The minimum
age completing the eighth grade
this year is IL years, 81 taking
examinations giving their ages as
16, 32 as II years, 8 as l8, and l
as 10 years. The average age is
from 13 to Is.
The highest class average was
made by Potlatch and Catherine
Gleave, a member of the Potlatch
class, made the highest average
attained by any pupil, ga per cent.
The highest average made by a Troy
pupil was attained by Carl Halstrom
at 80 1-3 per cent. This pupil was
the winner in the county spelling
contest this year and will rep.
resent Latah county at the inter.
state spelling contest in Spokane
this fall. Chris Carl Foyer made
the highest average of the Kendrick
class with 92 1-9 per cent and Ceci
A. Boliou secured the highest aver
age in the Genesee class with 80 Is
per cent. The highest average
made by a pupil in one-roon

of the Bear Creek school at 80 l.;

BUSINESS MEN
MET LAST FRIDAY
Matters of Interest to The
Community Discussed

At meeting of the Commercial
Club Friday night of last week it
was definitely decided not to hold
a celebration here the Fourth Of
July. Southwick has advertised a
celebration to be held there on the
Fourth and Big Bear ridge is going
to celebrate at Atwater lake so it
was thought best not to attempt a
celebration here.
The matter of giving a fair in
the fall was brought up and enthu-
siastically received. Kendrick seems
to be united in the idea of a fair
and the interest already being shown
by the business men of the town
assures the success of the enterprise.
General sentiment seems to be to
make the fair this fall the biggest
and best thing that Kendrick has
ever undertaken. The idea of
treating everyone who comes, as a
guest rather than a customer, will
be the motto of the Fair Association.
Mr.. Barnum made the proposition
to furnish lumber at reasonable
price at the mill to build a fence
around the ball ground, the lumber
to be hauled by anyone who
might volunteer the work. The
fence to be erected by the business
men who will also volunteer their
services. This would give the Fair
Association an opportunity of max
ing much more elaborate prepara-
tions than it has ever been able to
make before and would give a per-
manent place to hold the fair and
also provide a ball ground for the
team next year.
The proposition was accepted and
committee appointed to meet with
the town council to get permission
from them to use the ground.
1t was suggested and unanimously
approved that season tickets for the
fair be sold as that would give the
management something to start on
and give a general idea of the
amount of support that might be
expected.
Mr.. Atchison offered to furnish
the timbers necessary to be used to
straighten the "goose neck" in the
road on Powell grade, between Ken
drick and Juliaetta. John Woody
said he would put the proposition
up to the county commissioners and
he believed there was no question
but that they would make liberal
cash donation toward meeting the
expense of making the Improvement.
The matter was put to a vote and
passed and the road committee of
the Chamber of Commerce author
lied to go ahead with the work.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: Ralph Knepper,
president and H. P. Hull, secretary
There being no other business the
meeting adjourned

Another Auto Accident

Prof. Joliff had an accident with
his car Wednesday while driving up
the Potlach grade out of Juliaetta.
He killed his engine and he and the
other occupants of the car got out
but forgot to put on the brakes
While Mr.. Joliff was cranking the
car it began to run backward and
went over the grade. The car was
badly damaged. Mr.. Joliff was
principal of the Juliaetta school two
years ago and is now principal at
Orofno.

Says a New York dispatch: Frank
Baker bids fair to kill the idea SO pre-
valent in sporting circles that an athlete
who retires from the game for a season
or more cannot come back" In the
games played to date the home-run king
has satisfied the critics that he can play
ball as well as he ever played. In both
batting and fielding he has done well
enough to prove to his admirers that
he will be as good as ever. Baker has
played ten games since Bill Donovan al
lowed him to begin third basing at
Macon, and in the ten games he has
not yet carried his bat back to the
bench after a strikeout. Three Of these
games were against major league clubs,
four against Southern Leaguers and two
against the Yankee Yannigans, where
he had to face major league pitching.
Every other member OF Bill Donovan's
regulars was struck out one or more
times during the ten games in which
Baker escaped.
His fielding too has been OF a high
class order. He fumbled a slow roller
from Myers's bat yesterday, and this
is the only misplay that has been charged
against him this spring. That one year
layofr did not help Baker perhaps, but
the worst that can be said of him is
that he stood still. Certainly he did not

in his first ten games.

IS A BIG QUESTION
Can Brennick Repeat Success o
Charles BrickIeyr

Baltimore, Md. April S-Can Henry E.
Brennick keep the Hopkins eleven on the
advance toward a higher brand OF foot
ball than was begun last season by
Charles Brickley? This is the question
that is being discussed since the definite
step taken by the Hopkins athletic board
in selecting him for the position OF head
coach.
In making the selection of a coach the
football committee went over several
names, including some heroes Of the
gridiron during the last season, among
them being Tacks Hardwick, the Har-
ward star. r.
Concerning some of the finer points in
the coaching line. Brennick. having
worked with Brickley last year, will be
better able to coach the team. and with
these important tactics well in hand, it
is the general belief at Hopkins that he
is equal to the task that faces him.
