Even without a drop of rain for
the rest of the summer crop condi-
tions will not be as bad as they
might be. Winter wheat is filled
and a yield of from fifteen to
thirty bushels per acre is expected
although the acreage is not large in
this section.
A very fair bean crop is predict
ed as the beans are in blossom and
in some of the early planted fields
the pods are formed and beginning
to fill. A number of farmers have
stated that there is sufficient moist
ure in the ground to mature the
crop in good shape.
Unless it rains very soon the
greater part of the spring grain
will be light. Some fields under
favorable farming conditions will
produce well but the late sowed
grain will not amount to very much
without rain.
Taking everything into considera-
tion there is no great cause for
worry. The record-breaking price
that will in all probability be paid
for wheat and other grain in pro-
portion, will more than offset the
lighter yield so that year of pros
perity is in store for the residents
of the Potlatch.

During these panicky price con-
ditions on all lines of merchandise
your local merchants should have
the benefit of all your trade, parti-
cularly your cash business. On
many articles the profits are smaller
than they were year ago while the
wholesale cost of the articles has
been greatly increased. 1t is easy
to understand that under these con-
ditions the home merchants are not
having very rosy time of it.
If a sack of sugar year ago re-
tailed at $3.50 with a margin of
profit of 81, would it be fair to ask
your merchant to retail a sack of
sugar for SO at the same margin
of 81 profit? 1t costs certain per-

The formation of an improve
ment district, which is now being
presented to the resident property
owners of Kendrick, deserves the
serious consideration of everyone
concerned. There are resident
property owners within the district
who have not taken time to become
thoroughly familiar with the adj
vantages that would be realized in
case the district is formed. To go
into thorough explanation of the
matters in the columns of the
Gazette would take unnecessary
space as the few who have not be-
come posted can easily do so by
talking it over with any one of the
members of the village council.
These gentlemen have gone into the
matter and know what they are
talking about. Thew can answer
your questions and will present the
proposition in it's true light.
A petition is being circulated
among the resident property owners
asking that they form the improve
ment district in order to get uni
form cement sidewalks within the
entire district. A number of sign
ers have been secured during the
past few days and it is only ques-
ton now of obtaining the signatures
of few more resident property
owners to insure the formation of
the improvement district. There
is no question as to the practicable
ity of the plan. 1t has been tried
in hundreds of towns and has proved
very satisfactory. The walks can
be constructed economically and
the payments are made over a per-
iod of ten years, thus making it
easy for those who have not the
rea dy money to pay for the con-
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1917-08-03
struction of the walks.

StructlOn OF the walks.
It is almost certain that the dis
trict will carry the required seventy
percent of the resident property
owners on the petition. The few
names required will in all probable
ity be secured this week.
A remonstrance was circulated
a short time ago and is now on file
at the office of the village clerk.
Several who signed it are not resi-
dent property owners and there
were also number who signed the
remonstrance before they thor
oughly understood what the inn
provement district really embodied.
They have since withdrawn from
the remonstrance and signed the
original petition.
Uniform cement sidewalks in
Kendrick would be an Improvement
that mas been sadly needed here for
a number of years. The opportun-
ity of securing these walks now
presents itself and it would hardly
be up to Hendricks usual standard
Of progressiveness to turn the prop
osition down.

TWOPR|VATES TO
SEEK West POINT

Pvt Arthur v ashington Purvis and
Pvt Daely Roa-k, both members of
Company E, 1st Infantry, Schoffeld
Barracks, have teen recommended to
the war department as candidates for
West Point The two men will take
the entrance examinations required
by the school for admission.
The application of the two for ad-
mission represents the only response
from enlisted men lin Hawaii to the
offer of the war department to enter
the big military school. This depart
ment was allowed a total of IL this
year and had more thar IL applied for
admission competitive examination
would have been held on January 1.
Army officers do not consider that
the slight response means disregard
on the part of enlisted men, but ex-
plain it rather by the fact that most
men prefer to try for the examination
for appointment to second lieutents,
as provided by the defense act Of last
summer. =.
The age limit for admission to West
Point from the army is between II and
% years, and a soldier must have had
not less than one year Of service.

MARINE DANCE AT,
PEARL HARB0R IS
BEST EVER GIVEN

Many friends OF the U. S. marines
were entertained at ball at Pearl
Harbcr Saturday evening. This is
the first dance the marines have
given for some time. Many of the
guests have attended marine dances
in the past and say this was the best
ever given. Every little detail for the
comfort and pleasure of their friends
was carefully planned. A special
train left town at 1880 p. m, taking
the guests right to the door OF the
barracks at the new Pearl Harbor
navy yard They first entered long,
lighted hall on the ground floor, where
marines ushered them to the cloak
rooms. gf~. e...f.:. 49,. ...>.
The large dining hall on the ground
floor was used as the dance hall.
This was tastefully decorated with
flags, pennants and palms. The music
was furnished by Kaai's orchestra and
was unsurpassable.i During the dance
refreshments were served in the hall
and in the intermission @. M. Sgt. Car
roll and his committee were kept busy
serving sandwiches, cake, ice cream
and coffee. s-.@-. r. .@...-....
A floor committee, Sgt Rea az
chairman, constantly moved around
among the guests, seeing that their
programs we're filled and that they
were made acquainted. First Lieut..
L. A. Clapp and Sgt futile, who we're
the managers, handled the affair very
ably, s. ..i.....Ea
On every hand we're marines to at.
tend to the wants of their guests. At
the o. R. & L. depot a guard was
waiting to direct the invited ones to
the special waiting there. The invita-
ton committee. which consisted of
Pvts. Gould and j. R. Wilson, sent out
over 500 invitations.

in addition to the First Hawaiian Bri-
gade, to be composed of the I'd u. s.
Infantry, a provisional regiment OF
Coast Artillery troops, and the 1st

company, to attach this company to
the provisional regiment of Coast Ar.
tillery troops, and also to attach the
Engineer Company, National Guard,
to the Engineer Battalion from Fort
