day. farther than l ever saw one
hit before. Went far over the
grand stand and the last saw of it,
it was travelling strong. These

Race With A Deer

Abel Newton, our old Indian
friend, relates rather unusual in
cident which happened last night
when his family and himself were
returning home from Kamiah in
their car. They topped out" of
the Kamiah grade about dark and
while running along noticed a deer
in the Lookingglass pasture oppo-
site the Tug Wilson place. They
didn't pay any particular attention
to it and came on to the Looking
glass grain field just west of the
house where the road turns south
to Drake and Hunsuckers. There,
just inside the fence, was fine
buck, a magnificent specimen, and
as he was also headed west Abel
thought it a good time to have a
| little race so he commenced to toot
MS norm ana the rest OF the load
commenced to holler. The noise
had the desired effect and Mr.. Buck
commenced to stretch out and Abel
stepped on 'er" and the car re-
sponded to the call and the race
was on. The light seemed to blind
or bewilder the deer and for over a
quarter of a mile it was a lively
and exciting race, but the deer fin
ally outdistanced it's pursuers, jump
ed the fences and disappeared to-
ward the Clearwater breaks.-Nez

Potlatch Crops Look Good

Very good yields of winter wheat
have been reported from different
sections of the Potlatch. 1t is be-
lieved that an average of 80 bushels
to the acre is not an exaggerated
estimate. Threshing is in full
swing and the early season gives
promise of getting the harvest
operations over in plenty Of time to
avoid the fall rains.
The spring grain has been great
ly benefited by the showers during
the past ten days and will make at
least fifty percent yield. In this
immediate vicinity there is not a
large acreage devoted to spring
grain.
The cool weather the past week
has been a boon to the bean crop as
it was ideal for the blossoming
period. After the blossoms have
dropped off and the beans set or
the vines the danger from injury or
account of hot weather is greatly
lessened. Taking everything into
consideration, crop prospects are
very encouraging.

Fine Shower Yesterday

The shower in the Potlatch Sec
tion was welcomed with enthusiasm
by the bean growers, who now
look forward with confidence to a
bumper crop. Good harvesting
conditions this fall will assure the
farmers realizing splendid returns
from their bean land. W. A. Nc
Ghee reports the finest prospect
that he has ever had for big yield
of beans. He states there is plenty
of moisture in the ground to mature
the crop.

Killed in Auto Accident.

Gilbert Brooks, about twenty-one
years of age, whose home is in the
vicinity between Limbs and Sharon,
was killed Sunday afternoon between
four and five o'clock in attempting to
cross the l. C. r. r. track at Rives.
Young Brooks and his father, Chas
Brooks, sisters, Misses Irene and Mil
dred, and friend, Luther McWright,
were in a new Ford car. They were
in Union City for the Red Cross ex-
ercises and were returning home.
Arriving at Rives they drove south
to the l. C. grade crossing and start
ed over. A train going south was
overtaking them, and Gilbert did not
stop his car until it was on the rail-
road track. Then he killed his en-
CINE. The other occupants of the
car jumped and Gilbert got out on
the running board of his car prob
ably to push it off the track, but the
locomotive caught him and threw
him against a railroad sign post, and
when he was picked up the skull of
his forehead was crushed. He
breathed for a while but never
spoke. The others were shook up
but not badly hurt. Gilbert was TAX
en- to the Office of DR.. White, and
then his remains were removed
home.
The accident is indeed the cause of
general regret and sympathy by the
friends of the family and by others
who are interested in the work of
the Red Cross, and in charge of the
exercises in Union City.
The kindest condolences are ex-
tended.

Quoted by Hons. r. A. Pierce and j.
l.. Cochran, a voluntary subscrip-
ton to the Red Cross of 1887 was
donated by the liberal and patriotic
citizens of that place. When the
speakers had finished they were not
expected to call for a collection, but
the well known merchant, Mr.. Luth-
er Moffatt, proposed, as long as the
crowd was present and it was con-
venient to do SO, subscription be
offered. He offered to head the list
with 500. There was no second,
but when subscriptions of $50 were
proposed several responded, and then
$25 and down the line to one dollar.
Several children subscribed and said
they would pick strawberries to pay
the amount. A fine spirit, this; but
they are awake everywhere now.
Kaiserism is to be stamped out and
America is the boy who is going to
do his part.

School Teachers, Take Notice.

My Dear Superintendent: The
next State examination for teachers
will be held July 10 and 20. Please
encourage all for whom there is any
chance to. pass to take the examina-
ton, but discourage others from TAX
ing it. The standard for school
teaching is too low in the minds of
many. This is shown by those who
take the examination. 1t is not the
work of boys and girls but is mans
and woman's work.
1t is costing the State too much to
employ a grading committee to read
the papers of many hundreds of ap-
plicants who, judging from their
papers, should know before they take
the examination that they cannot
pass it.
Permit only those who will be
eighteen years of age by September
l to take the examination. Do every
thing you can to raise the standard
of school teaching in your county so
that to be teacher means to be a
person of some ability. Your schools
had better not run at all than to be
taught by inefficient teachers.
Very truly yours,
S. w. sHERRILL, State supt.
May Is, 1918.

The Soldier on Clutches.

The tap of his crutch on the marble

Caught my ear as l sat all alone
there that night.
turned-and a soldier my eyes fell
upon,
He had fought for his country and
one leg was gone!
AS he entered silence fell over the
place:
Every eye in the room was turned VI
to his face,
His head was up high and his eyes
seemed aflame
With a wonderful light, and he
laughed as he came.
He was young-not yet thirty-yet
never he made
One sign of regret for the price he
had paid.
One moment before this young SOL
der came in
l had caught bits of speech in the
clatter and din
From the fine men about me in life's
dress parade
Who were boasting the cash sacri-
fees they'd made;
And l thought of my own paltry
service with pride,
When 1 turned and that hero of bat
tie l spied.
I'll never forget the hot Pushes of
shame
That rushed to my cheeks as that
fellow came
He was cheerful and smiling and
clear-eyed and fine
And out of his face a white light
seemed to shine,
AND l tnOugnt as ne passed me on
crutches: How small
Are the gifts that make If I don't
give my ALL"
Some day in the future in many a
place
More soldiers just like him we'll all
have to face,
We must sit with them, talk with
them, laugh with them, too,
With the signs of their service for
ever in view,
And this was my thought, as l look
ed at him then:
Oh, God, Make me worthy to stand
with such men.

Isn't It True After ALI?

Comparatively few dogs are really
valuable. Most of them are rowing,
insanitary, voracious, disease-breed-
ing animals, dangerous to human life
and a constant menace to vested
rights. Any condition which COM
pels the abandonment of one of the
most ancient and profitable agricul-
tural avocations, that of sheep rails
ing, is not only a hardship to the
entire farming interest, but genu-
inc calamity to the country as a
whole. The sheep is an invaluable
animal becoming extinct, whereas
the dog is a worthless animal, in the
main, which is endured and defended
purely upon shallow sentimental
grounds.
Whoever allows his dog to run at
large, especially at night, fails in his
duty to his neighbor and to the
country.
