WHAT Is EXTENSION sERvICEl

The extension work of the Univer-
sity Of Idaho. carried ON I'm coopera-
ton with the United States department
Of agriculture. demonstrates that the

available 20 every community of the
state. no matter how far removed.

many thousands to solve the problems
that are before them in building
industry and a great commonwealth.
The extension service is all the more
valuable because everything Is still so

IDAHO CLUB GIRLS ENLIST
FOR RED CROSS SEWING

engaged In such productive enter
priseH as pig and poultry raising. the
production OF potatoes. beans and corn,
and the conservation by drying aud
canning Of immense quantities of fruit
and vegetables that otherwise would
go TO waste.
But much OF this work cannot be
carried on during the winter. We
have, therefore. formed a plan by
which the sewing club girls Of Idaho
may do Red Cross sewing instead Of
the regular work from the sewing
bulletins. as heretofore.
This viii give our girls a definite

10 and IS years may enroll for this
work and an immense amount OF Red
Cross sewing a be completed If the
work Is properly organized and car
ried out.
Much OF the work will be done dur
ing school time and we suggest that
the period after the last recess on
Mondays be devoted TO this work. In
many city schools, where trained
teachers are employed to teach sewing
one period a week viii be devoted to
Rcd Cross sewing. Because of the fact
that the work is being done mainly in
the schools, II will be placed. as a rule
under direct supervision of county and
school superintendents who will Co
operate closely with the local Red

being conducted In the various teach

KENDR|CK MILL
TO Be IMPROVED
A Seventy-five Horsepower
Motor to be Installed

Some extensive improvements are
being planned for the Kendrick
flour mill by the Vollmer Clearwat-
er Co. The first step will be to
have a side track built close to the
mill and warehouse to eliminate
trucking the grain so far while
loading and unloading cars. This
will be saving in expense.
AS soon as the electric line is fin
ished from Moscow to Troy a seven
ty-five horsepower motor will be in
stalled in the mill to furnish power
for running the flour mill, feed
chopper and bean cleaner. This
will give the required power for
operating the machinery at all
times. Heretofore the water sup.
ply at certain times of the year
was not sufficient to run the mill
machinery and additional power
was secured from a steam engine.
The up-keep of the fiume has been
heavy expense to the company,
particularly during the winter
months when the ice had to be
chopped from the sides and the ice
jams removed.
An addition is planned to be
built large enough to fill up the
space between the mill and the end
of the warehouse. This will double
the capacity Of the warehouse and
afford ample room during the har-
vest rush and give additional space
for storing ground feed of all
kinds. The feed business has in
creased every year and is now big
item in the business. A larger
storage warehouse is now a neces-
sity.
When the contemplated repairs
and improvements have been made,
it will be one of the most up to
date -four mills in this section.
With the more efficient power for
operating, a longer run this year
will be possible, thus giving employ
ment for the men for a greater
part of the year. These improve.
ments are to be started in the
near future and it is expected tc
have the mill ready to operate
with electric power early in the
spring.

New Auto Repair Shop

Jake Grinolds and Bert Walker
are making arrangements to start
an automobile repair shop in the
building next to the Kendrick State
Bank. now being used by James
Rodgers for a carpenter shop. They
bought the building Tuesday and
are going to remodel it and put in
a number of improvements. A pit
will be dug in the rear and an
Office partitioned off from the rest
of the building in one corner at the
front.
Grinolds & Walker went to Spo-
kane Wednesday to purchase tools,
a lathe and probably an acetylene
welding outfit. They have both
had experience in automobile re-
pairing. Mr.. Walker has been
working for the Kendrick Auto Co.
since early last fall, coming here
from Spokane. They expect to
have the shop ready for business in
about two or three weeks.

Match a Draw

Kendrick has gone wrestling
mad. A match every week has
been the program for some time
past. Each match draws larger
crowd than the one before so the
interest is evidently increasing.
Last Tuesday night Iron Cham
berlain and Grover Meyers of Lew
iston were booked for a match at
the Grand Theatre. The local
sports had it "doped out" that NY
ers would be an easy victim for
Chamberlain but after one hour of
hard work the match was called a
draw. The two contestants were
about equal in weight and wsre
very evenly matched in knowledge
of the game. They will in all prob.
ability meet here again in a few
weeks.

Coyotes Killed For Bounty

An army of coyotes were killed
by bounty hunters during the last
two years, judging from the report
that is being compiled by the state
veterinarians department. No less
than 29,615 of them were slain and
claims made to the state livestock
sanitary board for the bounty offer
ed by the state. Several thousand
more were disposed of on which no
claims for bounties were offered.
In fact predatory animals drained
the treasury to the extent of $S2,-
842.50 and there are claims on file
for 100000 more for which the
coming legislature will be asked to
provide.
In all there were 29,615 animals
of the predatory class for which
bounties were asked and paid.
There are 5000 more claims on hand
so that the total army Of killed and
missing among the wild animal
runs up to over $4,000.
The wildcats slain totaled 1887,
lynx 243, bear 1O16, wolves SO and
cougars 20. Next year and for
some years thereafter it is believed
no bounties will have to be paid on
bears for the next legislature is ex-
pected to remove it. The bear is

not predatory. They want him pre-.
