take place in Oroville and Tonasket on the

ent. including the governor of the state
and very many men prominent in public
life. The two towns will strain every eff
fort to enertain all who come.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

There have been no new develop
ments this week, in the campaign at
Verdun. Desultory fighting has been
taking place IN other sectors of the
western front, both sides claiming
minor successes.
Russian and japanese soldiers are
reported TO have been landed in
France to reinforce the allied lines al
Verdun.
The British have suffered a defeat
10 a battle with the Turks on the
Tigris 10 Messopotamla, but are still
hopeful of relieving the beleaguered
army at Kut-el.Amara.
The Germans made IA naval attack
on the extreme east English coast
April 26. On the oath British

and torpedo boats off the coast OF
Flanders, driving them back.

which probably excludes him
from consideration as guber-
Material timber this year. If
voters had hoped to see a
compromise effected at Twin
Falls last week, they were dis
appointed. Neither Mr.. Tay-

and it now appears that the
question will be left for the
people to decide at the pri-
maries with four candidates
among whom to divide the
votes.

The Most Popular Chew for a

Pure. RICH. FRUITY.SWEET

The man who chews gets by far the
most wholesome enjoyment and salts

OF the leaf are retained in good
plugs better than in any other form.
For more than a generation Spear
Head has held first place as the favor
ite high-grade plug chewing tobacco
This unique distinction is due solely
to the wonderful quality and favor of
Spear Head-the richest, mellowest
fastest chew in the whole world
Spear Head is the choicest of all
red Burnley hand-stemmed and made
into mellow-sweet plugs in a perfectly
clean, most sanitary factory
You can't chew the favor ont ~

taste keeps on pleasing you as long
as you keep on chewing.

THERE are four avowed
republican candidates for gov
crnor of Idaho-two in the
north and two in the south.
The two active northern
candidates are Geo. E. Crum,
a business man of Lewiston,
and H. H. Taylor, an attor-
ney of Standpoint. 1t has been
frequently pointed out by
many that republicans OF
northern Idaho must unite on
one man if they wish to cap
ture the nomination, and this
led to a pre-convention sue-
gestion at Twin Falls last
week that Mr.. Hoffman of
Rathdrum would be a suitable
compromise candidate in the
event that Mr.. Crum and Mr..
TAYLOR could be induced to
retire from the field. Score

SCHOOL NOTES.

Now that the basketball season
is over, the boys of the high school
who al e taking physical training
are obliged to do outside work, or
some work in the gymnasium, such
as wres sting, trapeze work, etc.
Boys desiring credit in physical
training must indicate on a. little
slip of paper the kind of work
done and the time it occupied, at
least forty-five consecutive minutes
being required; and the date of
the work. They must hand in two
of these slips each week, not later
than Friday. Any of the following
forms of work may be done: track
work, tennis, scout work, wood
cutting, baseball, hikes, indoor
gymna stun, or home work. The
woodcutting is especially convent
ent for those boys who have much
of it to do. Being able to get a
!; credit for work is very encourag-
ing. Gardening is an important
item on the list, also. l think this
method offers great inducements
to max e boys enjoy working, since
they know they are receiving
credit for il.
There has been some little
interest in baseball shown in the
high school this spring. One
| drawback to practising, however,
is the senior play, which is to be
given May fifth, and which occu
pies all the spare time of some OF
the prospective players. Never
theless, we may practice up and
have game or two after the play
is over. We have some good
material in high school for this
game, and think we could have
fairly good team.

that her submarine policy is justi-
fed as a retaliation for the British
blockade. The Germans point out
that their purpose is to cripple the
shipping of the allies, not to
destroy lives of neutrals, and they
claim it is difficult for them to
understand why they should be
expected to curtail or abandon the
use of their most efficient sea
weapon because neutral citizens
persist in travelling on enemy
merchant ships, the legitimate
prey of German submarines.
Up to yesterday no reply to
President Wilson's note had been
reported received from Germany,
but an associated press dispatch
from Berlin stated that it was
learned "that developments are
impending which demonstrate un-
mistakably the desire of Emperor
William to follow a course which
will lead Germany and the United
States out of the present crisis. >
However, doubt is expressed, as a
large part of the German public
seems somewhat inclined to be-
lieve President Wilson favors the
allies and is determined thai
Germany shall entirely cease tc
use submarines against merchant
shipping.

The reg liar army OF the
United S ates consists of
about 80, ooo men. Of these,
ri, 900 are in the United
States AMI Mexico at this
time. The rest are at Pana-
ma, in Alaska, Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Philippines and
China. An emergency act of
congress early this year pro-
vided for Immediately adding
20, 900 men to this military
establishment. Since then
unusual efforts have been
made to secure enlistments,
yet up to a week or two ago
only little more than 5000
recruits had been received.
This is scarcely enough to
keep even with expiring en-
listments. Indeed, if the rate
of recruiting is not soon
accelerated, at the close of
this year the army will be no
larger than it was when the
year opened-and the twenty
thousand increase will still be
only on paper. The question
arises, if congress cannot
secure this moderate increase
under an emergency act, how
does it expect to bring the
regular army up to the $50, :
ooo men provided for in the
reorganization bill passed by
the senate ten days ago? 1t
has been claimed that the
army is unpopular for various
reasons. If so, there is like
lihood that federalized
national guard, even with
pay, will be equally unpopu
lar. And all this apparent
apathy may be but an indica-
ton that, despite the real
need of military preparedness
for national defense, there is
no popular clamor in this
country for Intervention in
Mexico or for mixing in the
European muddle. Very evil
IDENTIFY the great mass of the
people do not see any sufi-
Gent reason for going to wal
with any of the European
belligerents and refuse to be
