Will Act on Petition

The county commissioners have
not acted upon the petitions sent in
to them, asking that they call an
election for the purpose of forming
a highway district, for the reason
that they wished to wait until after
the adjournment of the legislature.
They thought it possible that the
legislature might pass road laws
that might change the method of
procedure in forming a highway
district. The petitions will be
acted upon at the meeting of coun-
tv commissioners to be held next
week. There seems nothing to pre-
vent the matter being brought be-
fore the voters of the district
outlined.

Will Increase Business

F. A. Wallace returned last week
from Miles City, Montana, where
he and Mrs. Wallace spent the win
ter. Mrs. Wallace is visiting
friends in eastern Washington but
is expected to arrive in Kendrick
soon. Mr.. Wallace is going after
the silo business in earnest this
spring and intends to canvass the
Potlatch section thoroughly for
prospective purchasers. He has
made still another improvement on
his patent silo door which he ex-
poets to place on his 1917 silos.
His idea now is to build a model
silo on a vacant lot in the business
part of town so that anyone inter-
ested in a silo may inspect his work.
He reports conditions around Miles
City to be rather bad in regard to
stock raising. Thousands of cattle
are starving, owing to the long
winter and the impossibility OF
shipping in feed at prices that
would give the growers a chance to
break even by feeding the stock
through the rest of the winter.

the Latah County Fair association
will apply to similar cases instituted
in Nez Perce county to recover from
former commissioners for appro-
priations made in behalf of the
lewiston Charleston Fair association
and the Northwest Livestock associa-
tion. 1t had been the policy of the
commissioners of Nez Perce county
to give liberal support to the annual
fair and stock show on the grounds
that both institutions were intended
for the improvement and develop
ment of the agricultural, horti.
cultural, and live stock industries
of the country.

Patriotic Meeting Tuesday

A patriotic rally was held on
Main street in Kendrick Tuesday
afternoon in accordance with a
proclamation issued by the gover-
nor, declaring Tuesday afternoon a
half holiday to be observed as pat
riotic day. A large crowd assem-
bled to listen to the Kendrick band
and number of speeches and sew
eral selections by the Boys Quar-
tet. j. l. Mitcham, William Huy-
cite and H. B. Emmel each gave
their views of the present crisis and
urged the citizens of Kendrick to
show their patriotism and stand BY
the stars and stripes during the
coming trying times.
The Boy Scouts were present, a
number of them wearing their
uniforms as a badge of patriotism.
H. P. Hull requested that all of
the business houses and even the
residences display an American flag
to show that their sentiments were
back of the nation. Most of the
business houses had already placed
flags in the windows or in front of
their places of business. Nearly
two hours were spent during the
afternoon and much enthusiasm
displayed.

School Notes

There is no lack of patriotism in
the school. On every hand one
may see tiny American flags adorn-
ing the shoulders and the bosoms
of the young patriots. With every
flag is the willingness of its wearer
to take a share in the burden
of the nation. The red blood of
youth surges in courage. ready to
carry the strength Of arm to any
work demanded by the nation; at
the same time, it carries the love
of courageous heart, love for the
Nation and for the high ideals of
humanity which the Nation Cher
ishes and upholds.
Some of the Boy Scouts wear
their uniforms.
In the written papers, expressions
of LOYALTY are rife. The best
country is America; but no other is
treated with discourtesy.

Varieties of Seed Potatoes

The fact that "Pigs isspigs" does
not prove that potatoes are potatoes
at least that potatoes are all
alike. We have learned to discrim-
mate carefully between the differ
ent varieties of apples, in fact, Of
most kinds of fruit, but many peo-
pie still think that potatoes are
just potatoes, or divide them into
two classes-reds and whites. But
color really is no indication of quail
ity, nor can it always be relied up.
on in determining the variety, since
several of the leading varieties have
both red and white strains.
A working knowledge of the
leading varieties Of potatoes is of
vital Importance to the grower, and
almost as much so to the consumer.
1t is not necessary for any one to
acquaint himself with all the varie-
ties Of potatoes (something over a
thousand) but every resident of the
state should thoroughly know the
few that are best in Idaho Early
Ohio, Irish Cobbler, Melted Gem,
and Idaho Rural-and then not only
know them but stick to them.
It is surprising how frequently
growers, particularly those who do
not make potato-growing leading
business, are deceived in buying
seed potatoes. There is strong
temptation this spring on the part
of seedsmen and dealers to sell any
all varieties of potatoes under the
name of Early Ohio, or Cobbler.
In investigating this matter we
have found several different varie-
ties of potatoes, all dissimilar, be-
ing offered as Early Ohio. There
are also seed potatoes being offered
in the state as Irish Cobbler that
have no resemblance to that variety.
Any one buying potatoes for this
springs planting should be on his
guard, as much stock is being offer
ed which is not true. to name and
which is not even true as to season
of maturity.

Improve Church

DR.. G. w. H. Smith has had a
crew of men working for some time
on the excavation for the basement
under the church. The work has
progressed nicely although great
difficulty was met in handling the
wet ground. The hillside back of
the church contains number of
small springs at this time of the
year and the water soaked the
ground until the men had to work
in mud five or six inches deep.
The excavating is practically fin
ished and as soon as the ground has
dried sufficiently. work will be
started on the basement walls.

1t was necessary to do quite a bit
of blasting before the ground and
rock could be removed for the
basement. The worst of the work
is now over and the building of the
walls will progress rapidly as soon
as the weather will permit.

TELLS OF EDUCATION

DR.. H. H. Wheaton, q. S. Expert,
Shows the Great Progress of the
Work of Americanization.

Great progress has been made in the
Characterization" of immigrants, &C
cording to a report sent out by the
United States bureau of education. The
report was made by DR.. H. H. Wheaton,
specialist in immigrant education.
I'm 1914. when the bureau of educa-
ton began n national investigation of
facilities for the education of aliens.
chaos existed in this important phase
of education says the report.
Few established and well approved
standards existed. and practically all
methods were in the experimental
stage. Policies. except that of federal
non-interference, were known only to
cities and states where evening schools
for immigrants had been long main
tanned. Public agencies of various
kinds were endeavoring to treat the
problem each in its own way, without
definite endeavor to cooperate with
other agencies, and with no fixed poll
cles. Immigrant education was con-
s1dered at this time primarily a mat
ter for local attention and jurisdiction"

Progress Has Been Rapid.

In tracing developments since 1914
DR.. Wheaton declares:
Progress in every way has been
rapid, definite and extensive. Govern
mental authorities everywhere, city.
state and federal, have expressed seri
Gus interest in the problem and have
taken definite steps to provide adequate
facilities. Municipalities have seen that
the education of the immigrant espe-
cial1y through the provision of evening
classes, Is to be treated as a .funda-
mental part of the educational system
rather than as an incident or adjunct to
the day school system to be maintained
or not at will. or according to the amount
of money in the school treasury. Many
of the states, such as California, Mich
igan and New York, and particularly
the state departments Of education,
the immigrant is not merely local
problem. While the primary obligation
of the city has been acknowledged, both
officials and citizens have grown to see
that the secondary obligation of the
state to assist the city and the local
school district in this particular type
of education is one of such imperative
nature as to demand financial assist
ance and state supervision and co-ordi-
nation of activities. The federal gov
cation. as a result of an investigation
of facilities, has come TO take the stand
that, inaSmuch as ADM ssion of an i'm
migrant to the United States. together
with his admission to citizenship, are
both federal matters, then. equally, is
interest in his training for life and
citizenship in this country a federal
matter.
ION the other hand. private agencies
have seen the futility of competition
among themselves and with public
agencies and Institutions. Hence they
have increasingly adopted the practice
of establishing facilities only where
they do not exist. or where public
facilities cannot, for financial reasons
be made to meet the local problem. The
practice has become more and more es-
tablished of placing private facilities
under the supervision of appropriate
public school officials, and of turning
over to the latter such facilities as
rapidly as financial and other reasons
will permit
