Eddie Deobald received his final
discharge from the army at Amer

kane visitor Wednesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Foyer moved
to Spokane Wednesday where they

Someone utterly lacking in prin-
ciple broke number of parts off
of the gasoline pump in front of
the Kendrick Auto Company's
garage Monday night. 1t took a
half days work to repair the dam
age.
Don't let your boy be forgotten
put service flag in your window
to show that your home has sent a
soldier into the United States Army.
1t is a little courtesy that is due the
boys who have left.
R. A. Hecht states in letter to
his sister that he has eaten more
candy since he joined the army than
he ever thought possible. His many
friends on Bear ridge send him
presents quite often. He says the
weather at Camp Lewis is quite
like spring and, although it rains
quite often, there is no mud as the
sun dries the ground in an hours
time. He did hospital work for a
time but is now stationed in an in
Urinary. Since joining the army
he has gained forty pounds and ap-
parently is enthusiastic about his
work.
There will be meeting of the
precinct captains of the Latah
County Protective Association at
Moscow Saturday afternoon at 80.

quested to attend if possible.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Xavier of

lily the first of the week.
E. H. Dammarell and N. E.

tenants for Kendrick precinct to
further the work of the Latah
County Defense Council. The coun-
ell now has an executive committee
in this precinct composed of
Knepper, Dammarell and Walker.
Upon this committee will fall some
rather heavy work during the COM
ing months and the hearty support
of every citizen in the precinct will
be necessary in order to obtain
good results.
Zero weather was reached in
Kendrick for the first time this
winter. Wednesday night. Some
of the thermometers went wild and
registered from six to nine below,
but the more conservative ones
stopped falling at about zero.
Charles Riggle, rural carrier on
route two, had one of the worst
trips Wednesday since he has carried
the mail on that route. The roads
are almost impossible in places.
He was forced to walk all the way
up the grade and had to return
home and leave part of the route
unfinished. And yet there are
those who oppose the construction
of hard surfaced roads.
