WINTER LYCEUM
ATTRACTIONS
High-claSS Entertainment Put
on by Our Com'l Club.

The bookings for the fall and
winter lyceum bureau attractions
were received this week and
promise some exceptional fea-
lures of entertainment for the
coming winter season. The Red
path bureau numbers which ap-
peared here last winter were
thoroughly enjoyed and drew full
houses and it is safe to say the
coming winters program will
meet with equal approval. The
coming attractions are five in
number and will start off with
the Means-Anderson trio on Oc-
tober 18th, followed by the Ada
Roach company of six persons on
November 7th. Rollo Mcbride,
lecturer, will appear here on
Nov. 18th, the st. Clair sisters
on Jan. 25th and the Rob Roy
male quartette on Feb. 14th.
The Means-Anderson trio in
cludes violin, piano and charac-
ter singing and is an entertaining
number of particular strength.
The Ada Roach company will
present the musical program,
The Heart of the Immigrant,
which depicts life as seen from
Ellis Island when the European
immigrants land to take up life
in this country. Songs to suit
the play will be rendered and the
entire program is said to be a
winner.
Rollo Mcbride, known country
wide as the public defender of
Pittsburg, will lecture on the
subject Of Making Crooked Men
Straight" and no man in the
country is better able than he to
do justice to the subject.
The st. Clair sisters are four
young lady musicians of excep-
tional ability and will give the
music loving public an evening
of enjoyment seldom realized
outside of the large cities.
The Rob Roys, as the name
suggests, are Scotch laddies and
their program will deal largely
with songs, music and imperso-
nations peculiar to the land of the
heather.
The above gives faint outline
of what the different numbers
will provide and it is safe to say
the coming program will prove
fully as attractive as the one of
last winter. Season tickets will
be the same as last winter, $3.50
for adults, So for high school stu
dents and $3.50 for grade stu
dents.
There are a limited number of
tickets still on sale and it will be
advisable for those wishing to at
tend the series of entertainments
to secure tickets as early as pos
sible.
AS heretofore, the lyceum
course is being fostered by the
commercial club and any profits
accruing from the course will be
spent later for matters of public
benefit.

Cottonwood Public Schools
(By Prof. skinner)

my EAOl' SAihhSJ
Cottonwood Public Schools opened
Monday, Sept. 10th, with total en-
rollment of 108 pupils.
The faculty is the same as last year
with the exception of the superintend-
ent and third and fourth grade teach.
er. Supt. G. ]. Skinner succeeds
Supt. j. p. Barackman, and Miss Jes-
sic Wardrobe from Genesee, has
charge of the third and fourth grade
room. Principal w. A. Lustie has
charge of the high school again, while
Miss Bertha Sloneker from Payette is
the instructor in domestic science.
The other teachers are Mrs. E. M.
de Courcey, seventh and eighth grades;
Miss Fannie McGrew, fifth and sixth
grades; and Miss Delma Wilder, first
and second grades,
Forty-three students have respond
ed for instruction in the high school
department, the largest number yet to
enter here at the beginning Ofa school
year, and the high school promises
this year to be the largest in its his
tory. The time has come when the
young people realize that high school
education is as essential to man or
woman in the world of tomorrow as
an eighth grade education was to their
fathers and mothers of yesterday. The
high this year promises to be one of
the best in its history and we hope in
the future it will be mecca for those
seeking the upper grades of instruction
in the surrounding country.
Supt. Skinner is giving a course of
penmanship to all high school stu
dents, making it a required study.
Principal Lustie is offering an elective
course in elementary Spanish.
Clarke Bassett, Lewiston mail car
rier, was drowned Sunday in Snake
river when a canoe carrying four peo-
pie capsized. The body was recover
ed and the funeral was held Tuesday.
Bassett was 80 years of age and leaves
his widow and two children.

Join Our Big Excursion to
Montana on Tuesday,

Some of the people of the Camas
Prairie district have formed the idea
that it is necessary to pay high prices
for land in Montana. The reason for
this is that several men from different
districts have been into this country
trying to sell Montana land and take
in trade piece of land on the prairie;
at the same time trying to make the
land taken in stand as a clear profit
to them. This kind of man has no
reputation to protect, and if he ''puts
the deal over" he is just that far
ahead. Obviously, a good deal for
him is a poor deal for you.
If you are going to buy land any
where you cannot afford to buy with
out seeing Montana. Montana prices
are still low, if you get the RIGHT
price. You get the right price if you
go with the right people. Our COM
pany is one of the pioneers of the
Northwest and will stand investiga-
tion. We will be glad to furnish you
references Of people you know, and
who we have done business with. By
permission we refer you to Fred Simon
or j. V. Baker in Cottonwood.
We will sell you highly improved
land in the best wheat districts of the
state for from 500 to $40 per acre, on
easy terms. Unimproved land for
from $3.50 to 500 per acre. We
have land in any part of the state you
wish to settle in.

Even if crops were a partial failure
on Camas Prairie this season, it is

NEGRO DEFEATS WEEVIL.
Routed Parasite From $50 Acres at
Cost of Fifteen Cents an Acre.

According to reports from Ala
bama, a negro of that State has dis
covered a method of combating the
boil weevil, and has succeeded in
raising cotton which is not bothered
in the slightest by the pest. If these
reports are true, the negro's method
deserves investigation, and thor
ough test as to it's efficiency. The
Montgomery Advertiser describes the
method as follows:
John McDufie, a negro planter,
six miles east of the city, has worked
out a novel and seemingly certain
means of eradicating the boil weevil
He had $50 acres of the finest cotton
in the county, and not single wee
vii was ever found in it. On being
asked how he killed them, he said he
did not kill them, but prevents their
coming to his cotton. McDuftie is an
intelligent man, and originated the
method of running them away him
self. If it is a fact, as is claimed, he
has found the long sought method of
preventing the waste of millions of
dollars in the South through the
ravages of the pest.
'"The method is simple. McDufie
takes crude oil, tar and camphor
gum. He puts these in pot and
boils them. With sufficient oil in the
mixture to make it liquid, he vets
common croker sacks in the mixture,
then squeezes them as dry as he
thinks necessary. He says if too
much of the mixture is used it will
kill the young cotton. The wet sacks
are fastened by a drag stick attached
to the plow beam. Each week the
crop is plowed and dragged over with
these saturated sacks, both sides of
the cotton getting touch from the
fumes of the mixture. On going
down one side the sack touches light
ly one side, and when the plow re-
turns it touches the other side.
This method costs about Is cents
an acre, McDuffie says. He says he
used the method with success in
1915, and last year by having the
weevils out of the way. If it is sue
cess, and it seemingly is, this negro
has solved a problem that has con-
fronted the best brains in the South
for the past ten years."

SPANELL NOT GUILTY.
Granted Change of Venue for Trial or
Charge of killing Col. Butler.

San Angelo, Texas, Feb. Harry
J. Spaniel, who was found not guilty
in district court here today of the
killing of his wife, was granted
change of venue to Coleman county
on the indictment charging him with
having killed Lieut.. Col. NJ. G. But
ler, and was released late today on
$4,000 bond. 1t was stated Spaniel
probably will be placed on trial at
Coleman in May for the killing of
Butler. When news of his acquittal
was taken to Spanell's cell in the
county jail he gave vent to his emo
tion and sobbed his wife's name re-
peatedly. Spectators who were in
the court room cheered when the ver-
dict was read.

Not Won Trpitz's Plan.
Information received from the

pitt or his followers had absolutely
nothing to do with the new policy.
On the contrary, it was said tonight
that Won Tirpitz was not as has here
tofore been supposed, removed from
power because he advocated ruthless
submarine warfare, but because he
did not effectively carry out the cam.
paign he inaugurated.
From German quarters tonight
came the information that Germany
now has from 800 to 500 submarines
ready for the campaign.
The German view is that the new
policy will improve general prospects
of an early peace. Germany is repre-
sented as still being ready to discus:
peace at any time. However, it i:
