FIRST AID GIRLS GIVE DANCE
Benefit Dance Tomorrow Night-O Other
News From Patriotic Organization.

AT business meeting of the First
Aid Girls, held at the Stockton home
last evening the following new officers
elected: Bess Eimers, president, Mar
Jorie Foster, vice president; Helen Nor
wood, secretary-treasurer and Lallah
Fulton, finance committee. 1t was
decided to give dance tomorrow even
ing to assist in raising funds which are
now needed to take up some financial
obligations. The dance will be given at
the Schmadeka hall and as the object
is worthy one there will no doubt be
good attendance. On Friday, May 25,
the Lyric Theatre will put on that
Mutual masterpicture "The Strife
Eternal,' the First Aid to share in the
receipts.
This five-reel production was made in
England, and. features the English act
ress Blanche Forsythe. Many of the
scenes of the picture claim to have been
photographed on the very locations
where the Wars of the Roses were
fought. The picture centers much about
the tragic story of Jane Winstead, of
whom Edward " was enamoured, and
pursued even after her marriage with
Matthew Shore. Some of the scenes of
the production cover wide perspectives,
and are especially effective. Apparent
ly innumerable numbers of people have
been spread over these perspectives and
are at other times massed effectively
in closer views. The picture is enter
tanning and valuable as a historical
feature.
The next meeting will be for mill
tary drill, Tuesday, May 80, Decoration
Day coming on our regular meeting
night. The girls will be notified as to
where this meeting will take place. All
members are requested to be present
and bring new members. A new line
of work is to be taken up in First Aid
work.
Mrs. NJ. Reese Hattabaugh was pres
ent Wednesday, in behalf of the Red
Cross Auxiliary and the girls offered
their services for "Tag Day. The
girls may get these tags Friday after
noon at the Red Cross headquarters.

ADMINISTRATION OF indian AFFAIRS
Will CONTINUE TO Be LIBERAL

from the treasury and placed in banks
to their individual credit.
6. Elimination of ineligible pupils
from the government Indian schools: In
many Of our boarding schools Indian
children are being educated at govern
ment expense whose parents are amply
able to pay for their education and have
public school facilities at or near their
homes. Such children shall not here
aIter bf enrolled in Government Indian
schools supported by gratuity appro-
priations, except on payment of actual
per capita cost and transportation.
These rules are hereby made effec-
tive, and all Indian Bureau admins
trative Officers at Washington and in
the field will be governed accordingly.
This is II new and far reaching
declaration of policy. 1t means the
dawn of a new era in Indian administra-
ton. Il means that the competent In
dian will no longer be treated as half
ward and half citizen. 1t means reduc-
ed appropriations by the government
and more self-respect and independence
for the Indian. It means the ultimate
absorption of the Indian race into the
body polite of the nation. 1t means,
in short, the beginning of the end of
the Indian problem.
In carrying out this policy, I cher
ish the hope that all real friends of
the indian race will lend their aid aud
hearty cooperation.

and south highway from Weiser to
Grangeville. In this connection he ex
plains that the estimated cost of that
stretch of the north and souh road is
$640,000. There is now available the
sum of $590,O00 from the following
sources:
State, $2sO,OOO; United States, $3.50.
900; Washington county, $4,000; Ad.
ans county, $4,000; total, $59O,OOO
1t will thus be noted that by Idaho
county providing $4,000 the complete
fund will be available for the con-
struction to Grangeville.
Mr.. Booth further explains that the
time has now been reached for the in
terested communities to arrange to do
their part for the construction of the
road from Grangeville through the
prairie country of Idaho county and
through Lewis and Nez Perce counties
to connection with the Lewiston Hill
link. The Lewiston good highway dis
trict is preparing to start construction
up the Clearwater on the state road to-
ward Spalding and Arrow. The Lapwat
Valley good highway district is financed
for carrying the state road through the
! Lapwai valley. 1t is now up to the
localities of Lewis and Idaho counties
to act, either through county or good
| roads districts movements.
Mr.. Booth desires to emphasize the
fact that although it will be the policy
of the state highway department not to
award contracts at a period that would
Interfere with the food production cam
paign by withdrawing labor, yet there is
no reason whatever why the various in
terested counties or localities should not
proceed with their financing to join
with the state and federal government
in the road construction work. The state
| and government cannot under the law
join in any road construction that is not
in part financed by the locality served
and as the earlier the communities act
the earlier they will share in the state
and federal funds.
Mr.. Booth estimates that with
prompt action on the part of all local.
ties it will require two years time to
build the north and south highway, so il
is important that all the preliminary
details of finance be carried out i'm
mediately.-Lewiston Tribune.

fully competed with imported horses in
the leading shows and he did more to
overcome the erroneous impression that
American bred horses were not the equal
of the products of France, than any
other horse of the period.

PAYS US COMPLIMENT.

In speaking of her trip to Grangeville
and the organization of the Red Cross
Auxiliary at this place Mrs. Paul Clag
stone made the following complimentary
statement to reporter of the Tribune:
"The Grangeville auxiliary has de-
cided I'd make Box No. s which is one
of the biggest boxes to be undertaken,
consisting of pajamas, bath robes and
bed shirts in large quantities" Mrs.
Clagstone spoke before the Civic club of
Grangeville on Friday afternoon and
to about 200 people in the schoolhouse
Friday night. 'The first meeting, when
the auxiliary was formed, started so
much enthusiasm that they insisted on
the extra little talk at the schoolhouse.
Attorney Reese Hattabaugh made a
wonderful appeal to the community to
support the Red Cross, and Grangeville
will have a big auxiliary without q
doubt -

tion of the Glass of (which, by the
way, is said to be the largest gradual
ing class in the history of the school
will be the production of "Her
Nephew's Aunt" " the class play, at the
l. o. o. +. opera house next Monday
evening. The attention OF the public is
especially called to the fact that the
play is to be given at the L. o. o. F..
opera house. The change from the high
school auditorium to the opera house
was made because of the scenic and
action demands of the play, which re-
guire as large a stage as possible.
''Her Nephew's Aunt" as a play is
a proved success. 1t was played for a
long term in New York City and has
met with the same success on tour. SO
much for the play itself.
1t is an admitted fact that some ex-
traordinary. dramatic talent has been
developed at the high school during the
past few years by the efficient teachers
who have had this work in hand. Among
the more prominent students who have
been successful in school theatricals
and literary work, and all of whom are
included in the cast OF Her Nephew IS
Aunt" may be mentioned Gleaves Cole,
Jean McGhie, Mae Lanningham, Helen
Norwood, Harriet Hanson, and Millard
Heath, Ray Moses and others. In fact
every member of the cast for HHer

are endeavoring to make the forthcom-
ing production the best effort of their
school careers. Those in the cast, not
above mentioned, include Adele Hanger
Norville Johnston, Charles Hurley
Dewey Yates and Gaylord Eimers.
The proceeds derived from the sale of
tickets for "Her Nephew's Aunt will
be used to defray Commencement Week

ROADS ARE FINE.

The writer made a trip to Cottonwood
Sunday afternoon in Judge Garets
jitney and was surprised tos find the
roads in such excellent condition. The
Fem road seems little the best but
generally speaking either the Denver OF
Fenn route make driving a pleasure ex-
cept the approaches to both Grangeville
and Fem which ought to make the
town folks of the two commercial cen.

urging the farmers to greater road i'm

the big medicine for good roads and
wherever the drag has been used freely

A RECORD OF REAL
PATRIOTISM.

In the way of responding to
Uncle Sans call for volunteers
we believe Grangeville can show
better record than most any
other town in Idaho and stands
well to the front with any town
of the same population in the
United States. The population
of Grangeville as given by the
last census WAS 1883. There are
today serving in the National
Guard of the state 35 Grangeville
boys and in ehe navy and marines
9 or a total of Al have been sup
piled by this town to all branches
of the service. This is a pretty
fair showing and we would be
glad to learn of town of similar
size that can beat it.
