"Juice" From Moscow

Kendrick is now getting "juice"
from the Washington Water Power
plant at Moscow. Manger Dunkle
threw in the switch last Sunday af-
ternoon. This makes it possible to
dispense with the engines at the
Kendrick plant. Troy receives her
light and power over the same line
and again has first class light SER
vice.
As soon as the weather is favor
able the Potlatch Consolidated
Electric Co. will re-wire Troy and
put everything in first class condi-
tion. They are now connecting up
all those who have their buildings
wired.

DR.. Hoyt browns Horse

DR.. ]. E. Hoyt had a very dis
agreeable experience while return
ing home from Juliaetta Tuesday
night. He attempted to drive
across slough in the road, formed
by backwater from Potlatch creek.
The water was so deep that even
while standing on the buggy seat it
came up to his knees. Of course
the horses had to swim but before
they got across, one began to floun-
der and plunge until he became
fast in the harness. By standing
on the buggy tongue DR.. Hoyt was
able to unfasten two Of the tugs
and then by swimming around to
the front of the horses managed to
unbuckle the neck yoke strap from
one horse. He slid onto the back
of the horse and reached hard road
again. Believing it to be too big
a risk to try to save the other ami
NAL, as he was plunging SO desper-
ately as to make it dangerous to &c
near, the Doctor had to let him
drown.
Aside from the unpleasant ex'
perience and the loss of tie horse
DR.. Hoyt lost an expensive medica
instrument. His medicine case:
were also full of water and practi
caily ruined.

Exhausted Supply of Flags

The patriotic response of the
American people resulting in the
unprecedented demand for flags and
bunting has exhausted the available
supply and word has been received
from the largest manufacturers
that no additional orders can be re-
ceived and no assurance of deliver
les can be given. This condition
has resulted in an advance in the
price of all flags and warning is
given that all persons now having
flags in their possession should care
fully preserve them as there is no
assurance that new supply can be
secured.

Change of Time Won't Work

The Saving daylight" movement
as inaugurated in Lewiston last Mon
day, resulted in confusion and
numbers of stores which had agreed
to close an hour earlier were unable
to do SO on account of the fact that
customers insisted on finishing their
buying. Most of the business houses
went back to Pacific time Tuesday
and it was generally agreed Tuesday
evening that Pacific time was good
enough after all. Moscow found
"Nankervis time" to be impract-
icable and it is hardly likely that the
citizens will stand for another round
of confusion such as they had the
first day they attempted to change
time. Hendricks clocks are still
striking twelve at the noon hour.

Baseball Fans Met

A fair sized crowd of baseball
enthusiasts attended the meeting at
the Grand Theatre Tuesday night
for the purpose of organizing a
baseball association. A. E. Wilcox
was unanimously elected manager
after which plans were discussed
for raising money with which to
start the season. 1t was finally de-
cided to give dance and supper at
the Fraternal Temple = Saturday
night tomorrow for the benefit Of
the team. Everybody is invited to
attend and big time is assured.
The Kendrick Orchestra has kindly
offered their services for the eve :
ming.
Prospects for a first class team
never looked brighter. There are
a number of new men who expect
to try out for the team and in COM
bination with some of the best
players from last years team, a
forminable lineup will be secured.
Seven fast men to choose from for
the infield, two slab artists, three
men who are at home behind the
bat and all the outfelders anyone
could wish, is the size of the bunch
the playing manager will have the
opportunity to whip into shape.
The boys are anxious to do their
part and if the business men sup
port the team and back the boys up
during the season, Kendrick will be
on the baseball map this spring and
summer. The first step will be to
attend the dance to be given Satur-
day night. Don't forget the date,
be sure to bring the price and when
you get there you will have the
time of your life.

America For Americans!

Probably nation ever declared upon
other with unselfish motive than that held by
the United States in the present with Germany.
AS President Wilson said in his message to Con-
gress: 1--WE have no selfish ends to serve We de-
sire no conquest. no dominion. We are but of
the champions of the rights of mankind" Of course
there are always those who are ever ready to at
tribute wrong motive to any act however great it
may appear. In the present crisis, opinions
and petty prejudices should be forgotten and cast
aside and the great thought stand above all
others America, first, last and always. We
think of no way in which may expose his
utter lack Of integrity and honor than by refusing to
stand by his country aid the principles for which
she is fighting, at critical time such the United
States is facing today. Let us in every way pos.
sible, show that we are good loyal American
citizens that we believe in our country and that we
ready to stand by the stars and stripes to the last
ditch, if necessary.

The School Entertainment

The school entertainment last
Friday night, given in connection
with the lyceum course, was a
marked success. The children had
their parts learned perfectly and
carried out the program in verv
interesting manner.
The action song by the first and
second grades brought forth hearty
applause. Uncle Sans Party Drill
given by the pupils of the third and
fourth grades was very amusing
number of the program. The little
folks dressed in costumes repre-
senting different nations, carried
out their parts perfectly and ended
their part of the program with a
march. Little Miss Agnes BOYD
made the hit of the evening in her
representation of a German peasant
and her German accent in the. song
she sang was very amusing.
Jack and the Bean Stalk, an OPP
eretta by the fifth, sixth, seventh
and eighth grades was we'll render
ed both in the chorus and solo
parts. Then followed a farce by
the High School, entitled "An OBJ
stinate Family" The members of
this amateur troupe handled their
parts very we'll indeed. Special
music by the Boys and Girls quar-
tets was very pleasing feature of
the evening. The Kendrick Orches-
ira kindly furnished music between
acts.
This was the last number of the
lyceum course. Those who took
the responsibility of seeing the
course through, are well pleased
with the attendance and the inter-
est shown throughout the series of
entertainments.

Practically all danger of high
water from Potlatch Creek is past.
The cold nights in the higher coun-
try have checked the melting of the
snow so it is disappearing gradually
in the mountains and as the ground
is bare for miles along the breaks
of the Potlatch, it is thought all
danger is over.

Ware-MacPherson

In spite of the down-pouring rain
and the almost impossible roads,
happy crowd assembled at the Ware
home on Big Bear Ridge to witness
the marriage of Miss Lola Ware

Grim War Calls Not
Upon the Senator To
Sacrifice HIS Pork.

There are two kinds Of bills which
come up in the United States senate, that
are invariably passed by large major
lty. that are really national scandal be-
cause they involve waste OF Paolie
money. and that are briefly described as
pork"
One of these bills provides for the
erection of handsome government oulid-
ings in obscure villages and hamlets
As most of the senators are taken care
of in this kind Of measure, most OF them
close their eys to the iniquity and vote
for it.
The other measure is known as the
rivers and harbors appropriation bill.
mid some things that are good, there
are abundance Of items that are almost
total waste Of money.
No one objects to the great streams
like the Ohio and the Mississippi being
improved, nor to dredging and perfect
ING the deep harbors on the sea-coast and
the Great Lakes, where there IS really
ship-borne traffic
But. cunningly placed in the measure
with these necessary things, there are al
ways items for the Improvement OF OBJ
scure streams.
So much is this the case that Senator
King of Utah. in opposing this graft
said earnestly in the senate that Tor two
DAYS he had his secretary and others al
work trying in vain to fnd,upon the map
aliases and other publications the creeks,
BAYS. swamps, pools and what not for
which appropriations were sought;
Opposition to this kind Of pork fiA is
nearly always futile.
One of the senators, who vainly fought
it. realized the hopelessness Of his fight
when he said that ne could stand on the
floor and talk until he was black IN the
face and every other senator opposed to
the indefensible items in the bill could
do the same thing, but that when It came
to a vote the majority would come TO the
scratch and put the measure over.
And his prediction came true, only IL
senators being brave enough TO say that
in a time of war, when every penny
counted, s28,OO0,O00 should not be de-
voted to pork

Germany, When In
Earnest, Can Ask For a
"DishOnOrable" Peace

There seems to be feeling that when
Germany comes with a real serious peace
proposal that it would like to have taken
seriously, it will be a request for peace
to which Germany has not attached the
word honorable"
It is a world opinion and no doubt
about it that in the future Germany Is
to be non est in dealings that are hon
orable. having gained reputation Tor
dealings that are dishonorabe.
Michaelis says Great Britain refuses,
for the Allies, of course, to offer an hon
orable" peace.
The worlds answer to Michaelis is that
Germany is entitled neither 70 respect
nor mercy.
Says the world. as Germany's accuser:
There isn't anything honorable or
decent about you TO command the re-
spect or even the mercy Of the demo-
cratic peoples who are spending their
substance and giving their blood to
make the world safe for liberty and un-
safe for tyranny.
"You prepared for 40 years TO ravage
the world and then exploit it.
with cold-blooded elaboration, you
started this frightful war.
For three years you have violated
every decency in human life.
For three years you have violated
every law of God and man.
IN hoot of hat+ia luf D
cool, ordered deBberation, you have prac-
ticed crimes that are not surpassed by
the beasts Of the jungle.
Nothing has been too barbarous,
nothing too savage
"You have slain the innocent-the
mother with the babe on her breast the
doddering old man, the child at its play
"Your thirst for blood has been in
satiable; women have been your first
choice AS victims.
you have murdered. robbed. burned
devastated without reason, heartlessly
History cites nothing in the dark ages
that is worse than the German record
in the lands you have overrun-a rec
ord so dreadful. so shocking that 20 the
end of time history will tell Of it all with
horror.
can honorable compromise for you
outlaw among nations? A thousand
times NO!
"A dishonorable peace is the best you
are entitled TO.
1T is the only kind Of peace you car
understand.
"Reprisals you would understand bet.
ter, but democracies are civilized people
and thay cannot descend to such depths

Here Is What To Do
When the Heat Hits Hard


These are the merry days when Old
Sol is full of pep
These are the days when he pours
out MS energy upon an earthfui of peo-
pie who wish he would let up and sneak
away back Of a thick cloud.
But the old boy IS bound to have his
innings.
What cares he if We like il or not?
He's boss-and he's far enough away for
complete safety?
But there are ways OF beating the old
boy. just the same.
Il is possible TO keep cool, even though
the old fire ball is shooting the air full
OF sizzes
One Of the best ways Of keeping cool
is to get into an intense argument with
d pro-German.
Youu soon forget all about the heat
and to forget is all that's necessary.
Many persons enjoy fiyvering but the
unfortunate who has 70 DO the driving
always complains about the heat from
the engine.
A good way to avoid this heat is TO
buy ten cents worth OF ice and wrap il
carefully around the engine.
This win keep the thing cool and the
front seat VIII be al premium instead
Of a discount.
1t is always well to heed the advice Of
doctors in hot weather-much more so
than in cold weather.
All medical men agree that profuse
perspiration tends to cool the body.
Therefore, it appears, that the more
person perspires the cooler the person
will be-
Thus a job in blast furnace is the
ideal summer Job, for the heat Of the
furnace induces the most profuse per-
spiration.
It also should be easy TO keep cool in
rolling mill or in ships stoke hole.
Advice Of soda singers, lee Kings, fizz
bottlers. etc, TO the contrary notwith
standing. cold drinks should never be
consumed in not weather
The constant exercise Of going down
in the pocket after money with which TO
pay for said drinks is likely to overhead
me.
For keeping cool either night or day
there is this simple advice:
Il is we'll known that there IS limit
to what heat can pass thru. II you can
put enough sold substance between your
self and the heat you will be cool.
Any professor OF physics, or any goV
alienist, will tell you this is so.
That being the case. put on all the
clothes you can pay for in hot weather.
Pick out your heaviest, thickest cloth
ing and pile it on.
At night sleep under a mattress-two
mattresses if you have that maryland
you should shortly cease TO suffer from
the heat.
