HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
SCORE IN "SEVEN DAYS"

The three-act farce, "Seven Days"
was given last evening at the High
school auditorium by the senior class,
before q large and appreciative aud
ience.
Each player did work that was high
ly creditable. Carey Smith, as James
Smith, the host of the "quarantined
house party, played his part in a way
that suggested the professional.
Edith Taylor as Anne Brown kept the
audience laughing with her ideas of
spiritualism; Mable Taylors inter
petation of the severe, dictatorial Aunt
Selma, was most realistic; Mae Mar
tin. as Kit McNair, played the diff
cult role of the "ex-wife," whose ''ex-
husband" and the present-wife were
much in evidence, and gave good and
consistent character Interpretation.
Majorie Zeigler, as Bella Wilson read
into her part the real spirit of the de-
fiant, but still adoring wife. The part
Of the burglar, with his hair-breadth
escape was splendidly carried out.
Elra Ernter scored many laugh by
the aumor of his lires, and Boyd
Brighom was clever in his part of Tom
lIarbison.
An attractive feature of the program |
was the selling of candy betw cen acts |
by several of the senio: gills, prettily |
dressed in white. and suggesting the |
class colors by their black baskets tied |
with salmon pink bows. A neat sum
was realized from the candy sale and
will be given to the Red Cross fund.

Ralph Breshears, John Cramer and
Ralph Morse were the members if the
university team which debated in Spo-
kane. They are said to have over
wheImed the Gonzaga forensic lights
opposed to them, also securing 3-to-0
verdict
The debate in the local auditorium
was frey in the extreme. Mr.. Hoey of
Gonzaga, interrupted the rebuttal
speech of Richard OFT, and protested
that the speaker was unethical and un-
fair in quoting excerpts not in point
from authorities submitted by the neg
ative His protest was over-ruled.
Good Men and True
The arguments of the affirmative
were very ably handled by Richard
OFT, Ray Agee and Marvin Angel. The
case as stated supported the proposal
to give the president power to use the
federal forces to suppress local and
state troubles. The negative speak
ers, Messrs. Hoey, Jacobs and Davis,
contended that the proposal was un-
constitutional and that the vesting OF
such power in the president would be
the first step toward an unbearable
depotism.
The Judges were: ]. M. McCroskey
of Colfax, F. w. Simmonds and Miles
6. Johnson of Lewiston. The vote
was two to one for the affirmative.
Prof. J. ]. Gill acted as chairman.

| The regular April meeting of the

Moscow for April 10, failed of a quor-

ed subject tc the call of the president
of the board. Present were Evan
Evans of Grangeville, president; Miss
Ethel Redfield, state superintendent
of public instruction, and Ramsey NJ.
Walker of Wallace The absent mem
bers were w. S. Bruce of Boise, who
was prevented at the last moment by
unexpected pressure of business; r.
M. Terrell, now Judge Terrell of Po-
cattelo, who resigned some time ago,
but whose successor has not or at
least had not been appointed, and ]. A.
Keefer of Shoshone. Owing to this
fact many matters of proposed busi-
ness were not dealt with, both as to
staff appointments and the other
phases of the work of the institution.
Provide for Progress
However the executive committees
for the northern institutions, by vir-
ture of the large powers given by the
rules of the board to these committees,
were able to deal with many important
questions and provide for progress be-
tween now and the next meeting of
the full board This meeting will prob
ably take place in May.
The university committee met on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Present were Ramsey M. Walker,

quest of the committee as far as her

question. The sum of $4,000 was al |

While this is far from
what the board requested for the uni
1ersity, nevertheless it will be won
lerful aid and will greatly relieve the

whole sum is allowed in a lump, it's
being left entirely to the
discretion of the board. This is an i'm

elasticity for adjusting the reduced

TAKES CHARGE AT ONCE
County Commissioners Actuated by a
Desire to Consolidate in Interest
of Economy
TAKES CHARGE AT ONCE

The board of county commissioner:
today accepted the resignation of Viii
F. Morgareidge as probate judge anC
filled the vacancy by the appointment
of Adrian Nelson.
Following is the order by the board
Whereas, the office of probate
judge of this county has become
vacant by the acceptance of the
resignation of Will F. Morgareidge,
to take effect Monday, April 16,
1917, and,
Whereas, it devolves upon the
board of county commissioners to
fill the office by appointment, and
proper petition having been filed,
after due consideration of all the
interests of the citizens and tax
payers of the county we, as such
board, in regular quarterly ses-
sion, do hereby appoint Adrian
Nelson, citizen of Moscow, Idaho,
to the office of probate judge of
Latah county Idaho"
Has Splendid Record
Mr.. Nelson has lived in Latah coun-
ty for nearly 80 years and is a grad
uate of the University of Idaho. He is
admitted to practice law in the su-
preme court of the state, but has new
er actually engaged in the practice
He represented this county in the fifth
session of the Idaho legislature and
for the past Is years has been deputy
clerk in the auditors office. He is re-
garded as one of the best posted men
in the court house on county business
in general.
Mr.. Nelson was not candidate for
the office of, probate judge, and as
cepted the office only at the request
of the commissioners, in order that
the policy of consolidating the min
isterial work of the county, and there
by curtailing expenses, might be car
ried out
Policy of the Board
In adopting this plan, made possible
through the cooperative spirit of the
office of the clerk of the district court
md auditor and recorder, the commits
;ioners feel that not only have they
secured a competent and able man
or probate judge but they have also
a system that will result
n a saving to the taxpayers of at
east $1,000 year.
There were a number of candidates
or appointment as probate judge,
Who were generously supported by
heir friends. Any one of the candi-
Iates would have made satisfactory
fficial. The commissioners, however,
ook the position that the saving of !
'ublic money, when the quality of
'ublic service is not impaired, is of
nore Importance than the appointment |
f any individual.
VIII Afford Relief
The commissioners are seeking the |
of the different officials
f the county SO that the ministerial
uties of deputies and clerks may be
o distributed as to afford relief and
ssistance in offices where the work

TEUTONS WAIVER BEFORE
THAT MERCILESS DRIVE
All Reports from Western Front Agree that British
and French Continue to Make Important
Gains in Crucial Battle of War

LONDON-A month ago the British
and French offensive began co-incl-
dental with the German "Stragetic Re-
treat 'on the western front. Since
that time the allies have recovered
$50 square miles of French territory
with front of rs miles.
The ''Hindenburg Line swings
about two pivots-St. Quentin and
Lens. The greatest drive of the war
centers about these positions. 1t is
now officially stated that Lens is
about to fall. St. Quentin cannot hold
out much longer.
Another mile of the "Hindenburg
Line" was taken today. The British
are encircling Lens on two sides. The
German resistance is growing more
and more desperate as General Halg
advances. There resistance is ineffec-
tive against the British blows.
The Germans are still shelling Vimy
from afar. Their aim is poor and the
effect lnimportant.
Like Battle of Marne
LONDON-The far-reaching and
sweeping success of the battle OF Ar
ras is being revealed in successive
chapters to the British public which
hardly realizes yet that it is the most
effectual and decisive event to the cred
il of the British army during the war
It may we'll rank with the battle OF
the Marine, which turned back the Ger
man invasion directed against Paris,
and may prove the turning point OF
the whole war in the west and change
the balance of the world war.
Field Marshal Haig's bulletin last
night, giving the number of guns cap
tured as 166 and the aggregate OF
prisoners as 13,000 and the details
of new territory gained for France
from the invaders, marks the battle
of Arras as a great victory. But the
significant statement from Field Mar
shall Haig is that the British are
astride the "IIindenburg Line

Baby Week Campaign

Last week at the State Oratorical
contest held in this city, we listen
ed TO an Grafton on The Enamel
patton Of Two Million Americans,
in which Mr.. Martin Paulson of
Stevens Point normal spoke of APP
preparations amounting to hundreds
Of thousands of dollars, asked of
the government and granted, to
stamp out hog cholera and diseases
of cattle, and contrasted it with the
little effort that is being made to
make or enforce child labor laws.
If it needs united effort to stamp
out the diseases of animals, much
more does it need united effort to
stop the fearful mortality among
our little children.
With this thought in mind and to
give fathers and mothers of the
community the opportunity of learn
ing the most important facts with
regard to the care of their children,
the Baby Week campaign was or
gained. This YEAR it will be held
in this city in the social rooms OF
the Congregational church, begin
ming April % and continuing five
days.
1t is under the direction of the
various women's clubs of the city
and town. April 81 is the date for
the rural communities. The physi-I
clans of our city have kindly offered
to give their services. The age lin
it for children is six months to three
years, being divided into three
groups, VIZ. six months to one year,
one year to two years and two years
to three. Mothers are requested to
give names by card or telephone, as
soon as possible, to Mrs. Knowlton,
who has charge of registration
There will be no contest this year,
but score cards will be given TO the
mothers.

COW NO. l

These figures were taken directly
from this herd book. Analysis of
the table will show decided profit
the second year. 1t also reveals the
fact that the cost of feed was from
$500 to $500 higher the second
year. 1t must appear that these
animals were underfed and not given
the proper care the first year and
responded when an opportunity was
afforded. An animal is born with
certain possibilities determined by
ancestry. It is the business of the
dairyman to get all he can from that
animal. How else can these facts be
determined than by testing and
keeping records. It seems that an
animal must largely be judged on
the basis of profit above cost of feed.
In the case of Cow No. z. the first
year she was not fed to her capacity,
resulting in a lower profit than the
next year, but the owner received
$3.50 for every $100 invested in
feed. The next year considerable
more money was spent for feed and
$1.OO invested brought him 1920 in
butterfat. But during the second
year $1,000 more in actual profit was
secured. Profitable farming is not
judged on what one acre will pro-
duce but what the entire farm will
do. The principle factor in feeding
COWS is how to secure the greatest
profit above all money expended.
Further figures and results will be
given in next weeks issue.

Let The United States Practice
"Peace Without Victory"
By Elmer Willis Serl

Not long ago our President let
slip phrase which was caught up
and tossed about the United States
with much public approval. 1t was
in his note to the Maniac Nations to
state what they were fighting for
In his plea for peace he suggested
that they should agree to peace
without victory. Thatphrase caught
the imagination Of the world for a
moment. Even the jim g editor
seemed able to comprehend it.
"Peace Without Victory!" That
is almost an epigram for the Sermon
on the Mount. AS l readit l thought,
is it possible that the United States
is to live up to that lofty sentiment.
1t seemed too good to be true. But,
no, it was true, for Mr.. Wilson had
said it. Then we are to be willing
for peace without victory!
But, it is, after all, dream! For
the United States is notwilling, even
in it's own grievance, for peace with
out victory! We will not take the
back sea road. We will not submit
to restrictions to our travel. We will
not forego our trade temporarily.
Peace! Yes, to be sure, if it comes
on our terms-otherwise we will
shoot our way to England.
However, we may sink every sub
marine which lifts is periscope
above the brine to dispute our pass
age, until the bottom of the seals
strewn with those shells of German
nautiness, and we have neither Sc
cured peace nor gained victory.
We have birth-marked with hatred
the generation yet to come!

University trained actors, whose

der the direction of Chas. M. Halt.
There is at present vigorous reviv-
al of the demand for real drama.
The cheap admission to moving pic
lures has added thousands to our
audiences and now they are asking
for the real actors and the human
voice instead of the picture. The
playhouse is a great democratic
peoples place of amusement, where
stories may be heard more effective
ly than anywhere else. 1t is a place
where the great lessons of life may
be emotionally received. Acting
plays are now read almost as fire.
quentIy as novels. The Drama
League and other clubs are making
serious study of them, and when

constant. The University Lyceum
