dad" Lyons Gets a NickIe

Dad" Lyons has a five cent
piece which he declares he will
always keep and which he will
not give up for love nor money.
1t came into his possession in the
following manner:
One day last week Dad" was
sitting on a box in front of one of
the main street stores and had
taken off his hat to scratch his
head. A stranger passed by and
mistook Dad" for a blind man.
He paused and reaching into his
pocket dropped a nickle in
Dads" hat, who was too as.
tonished for a moment to correct
the mistake and upon reflection
consideredi it good joke and de.
cidsd to keep the coin for a good
luck piece. Bonners Ferry
Herald. -
The above sounds all right, but
many of Dads" old pals herea-
bouts will be loath to believe he
was not fishing for a sucker and
caught one.

HELD ANOTHER
ROAD MEETING
Citizens From Ito and Ferdi-
nand Conferred With Local
People About Location OF
North and South Road.

Another good roads meeting
was held in our city last evening
when delegations of representa-
tive citizens from lilo and Ferdi-
nand came over to talk state
highway with the local business
men. After the meeting with
State Engineer Booth at Grange
vile last week the word had gone
out that there was a possibility
of securing the survey for the To-
cation of the state highway
across the west side of Camas
prairie and the visitors last night
came for the purpose of talking
over various routes through the
Cottonwood and Ferdinand terri
tory and to lilo and to arrange
for men at each town to receive
the engineer sent in to make the
survey and show him the best
routes through their respective
localities. After this is done it
will be up to the engineer and
state highway commission to
choose the best route and make
a permanent location survey of
the state road over such route.
The lilo visitors included P. J.
Miller, R. M. Broker, Clyde Clo-
Wis, James McCorkle and H. C.
Netzel. Those from Ferdinand
were Joseph Bushue; B. C. Bar
Dor and H. G. Sasse.

D H. Kube was in town yes
terday for the first time since his
accident last summer and was
receiving the hearty congratu-
lations of his many friends on
his recovery from what seemed
for a time to be certain death.
Mr.. Kube has the unique record
of almost coming back from the
grave, he having received a frac-
tured neck as a result of being
thrown beneath a hay rake and
dragged for some distance by a
runaway team. After the acci-
dent he lay for several days on a
bed with heavy weight fastened
to his head to hold the neck
straight and later was operated
on by DR.. Gritman, of Moscow,
who set the fractured bone. Mr..
Kube has been at his home east
of town for several weeks and is
now practically recovered from
the effects of the accident and
operation, except that his neck
is still little weak and stiff.
His escape was almost miracu-
lous and he is feeling very CRATE
full for getting off as luckily as
he did.

SCHOOLS OPEN
FOR new Term
Opening Enrolment Reaches
$50 Mark and Will Go
Higher-Coming Year Prom
iSeS Great Progress.

The public school opened for
the new term Monday with a
full complement of instructors on
hand and an enrolment of about
100 students for the first week.
A sweeping change was made in
the teaching staff since last year
and only two of the former in
structors are back again at their
desks. Prof. J. P. Barackman,
who taught successfully for many
years in Latah county and was
employed for the past ten, years
in the Moscow schools is super
intendent ofsthe local school and
has as assistant principal VIM.
A. Lustie, of Seattle. Miss
Bertha Sloneker is again in
charge of the domestic science
department, while Mrs. De-
coursey, of Lewiston, has charge
of the seventh and eighth grades.
Miss Fannie Nc Grew, who has
taught here for a number of
years, is again in charge of the
fifth and sixth grades, and Miss
Ella Deerkop, of Palouse, pre-
sides over the third and fourth
grades. Miss Delma Wilder, of
South Dakota, has charge of the
primary department.
The enrolment is quite large
for this early in the season and
after fall work is completed the
higher grades will be materially
strengthened by the presence Of
many students who are now
compelled to occupy themselves
with harvest work on the farm.
Altogether, the coming term
promises to be very successful
one for the school and material
progress should be made in all
departments.
At the local Catholic parochiaI
school 152 students were enrolled
the first week and it is expected
this number will be increased to
180 within the next few weeks,
thereby taxing the capacity of
the school to the limit. The in
structors this year are Sisters
Lucia, Hedwig, Thecla, Seraphine
and Anna, the latter being in
charge of the instruction in
music.
With almost 300 students en-
rolled in the two schools Cotton
wood does not have to take a
back seat for any similar COM
munity in the state when it comes
to efficiency in school work and
number of students enrolled.
The records of students from
both schools who have taken the
county examinations in the past
have been of a high class and
among the very best in the
county, a record of which we all
have reason to be very proud.

Secure Better Motion Pictures

The motion picture fans" oil
Cottonwood and the west side ot
the prairie are due to see some
exceptionally fine pictures during
the coming fall and winter
months, as the result of arrange.
ments recently completed by the
management of the local play
house. At a meeting of the
managers of the motion picture
theatres of Camas and Nezperce
prairies recently held at Vollmel
an organization was perfected
and a contract signed whereby
the five houses will in future Sc.
cure complete weekly programs
from the we'll known Mutual
Film company. This is the COM
pany that has the exclusive out
put of Charlie Chaplin films, for
which it paid Chaplin the stupen-
dous sum of $67O, 900 for single
years work. 1t is also nego-
tiating for the release of the
celebrated Mary Pickford pro-
ductions.
The new program will start in
the local theatre on Tuesday eve
ming, Sept. 26th, and after that
date films will be shown four
nights a week instead of three,
the show nights being each Tues
day, Thursday, Saturday and
Sunday. The new program will
start with the great serial, "The
Secret of the Submarine" said
to be one of the best serials on
the market and especially at
tractive at this time because of
the nationwide interest in the
preparedness" movement. With
this will be included two reels of
Vogue comedy, than which there
are none better being shown.
On Thursday nights a five reel
feature drama will be shown,
starting with such fine produc-
tions as whispering Smith, :"
Medicine Bend" Judith, of
the Cumberlands," THE Dia-
mand Runners" ''The Manager
of the B. & A, " and similar pro-
ductions. Saturday nights show
will consist of a we'll selected
mixed program and Sundays will
have a nice assortment of drama
and high class comedy, with a
new release Chaplin comedy
every fourth Sunday. The first
Chaplin will be shown on Sunday,
Oct. 1st, and will probably be
"The Floorwalker." "
Mutual programs are the kind
usually seen in the better grade
theatres in the large cities and
are seldom seen in smaller towns
because of their price being out
of reach, but a combination of
houses playing the same pro-
grams, such as was recently ar
ranged for on the two prairies,
makes it possible to show these
great films on the prairie in fu-
ture and at no advance over
former prices.
If the public appreciates the
best that can be obtained in mo-
tion pictures, programs that are
always clean and above criticism
of any but the most prudish, the
same can be seen at the Orpheum
this fall.
Both the public and the man
agement of the theatre are for
tunate in securing such programs
as those above outlined.
