School Entertainment A Hit.

The old opera house was well
packed last Friday night when
the grades" Of the public
schools gave one of the best en-
tertainments the community has
vet witnessed in this line. From
the stunts of the little tots in the
primary to the larger boys and
girls of the sixth, each one work
ed through his part cleverly and
each part was entertaining. That
the teachers had been very dill
gent in drilling their pupils was
well emphasized by the results.
And it was an entertainment
which required extensive cos
tuning, and in this the faculty
and the mothers had evidently
taken great pains.
Pleasing additions to the reg
ular program were drills by the
local organizations of Campfire
Girls and Bov Scouts. Mrs. G
G Pennell and Miss Poole direct
ed the graceful maneuvers of the
former, and Claude Miller. re-

movements that had come TO be

farmers held at County Farm
Agent Wade's office in Nez-

The matter of holding the an
nual stock show was taken up
by members Of the Nezperce
Stock Show Association. and,
after consideration of the best
ways and means to make the
event a success, it was decided to
combine the stock show and
Boys and Girls Clubs exhibits,
adding a general exhibit Of farm
products, and make one big coun-
ty fair Of it, to be held at Nez-

October. 1t was further decided
that the direction and arrange

HARVEY NEDROW BACK
WITH HERO'S WOUND.
Another Valiant Son of Lewis
County Gladly Welcomed
Home From Argonne
Battles.

i Harvey Nedrow, son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Nedrow of this
vicinity, came in Monday from
Fort Riley, Kansas, where he
had been temporarily stationed
before being discharged from
the service, after returning from
a glorious battle record in
France. He was with the 361st
Machine Gun company, in the
91st Division, and was wounded
in the right side and arm by
high explosive shell fragment
during the terrific fighting in
the Argonne forests in France.
The wound in his side was COM
paratively slight, but the shell
fragment cut the tendons in his
arm and left his hand badly Grip
pied. Aside from this hand, he
looks in prime condition and
carries the buoyant spirit char
acteristic of the imam s army"
in which he did his full part.
When asked about his army
life, he compressed his big ex-
perience in this brief statement:
Il took my first training at
Camp Lewis and from there was
transferred to New York. On

Afternoon for Washington.
Washington, Feb. 25.-On the
first day of his return to the
capital, President Wilson put in
more than 10 hours at his desk,
signing twenty eight bills and
joint resolutions, making a score
of nominations, discussing gov
ernment business for three hours
with his cabinet and winding up
the day work by conference
with Democratic Leader Martin,
at which the president announce
ed his decision not to call an ex-
ira session of Congress until af-
ter his return from Europe.
Altogether, it was one of the
busiest days in recent years at
the White House.
Whether the president will adj
dress congress is believed to de-
pend upon the executive situa-
ton. Tomorrow night he will
discuss the constitution of the
league Of nations in detail with |
members of the senate and house
foreign affairs committees, who |
will be his guests at dinner, and
the belief is growing in official I
quarters that the president will |

The President Speaks.

! President Wilson will fight Al
/ home as he has fought abroad
for the league of nations. Re
turning from France, he hao
been on American soil not more
than three hours today before he
threw down the gauntlet to those
who distrust the proposed con-
cert of governments based, he
said, on the American ideals
which had won the war for JUS
tice and humanity.
An America confirming to
her own territories her concep-
ton and her purpose to make
men free, he said, would have to
keep her honor "for those mar
row, selfish, provincial purposes
which seem so dear to some
minds that have no sweep be-
yond their nearest horizon. I"
Hefore ia responsive audience
that filled the biggest auditor
ium in the city, the president
pictured the Old World fighting
with stubborn desperation, and
expecting in the end nothing
better for the peoples than they
had known for centuries. He
pictured the American nation en-
tering the lists with new pur-
pose-the freedom of mankind.
The Old World had caught the
vision, and any treaty Of peace
drawn otherwise than in the
new spirit would be nothing
more, he asserted, than "mod-
ern scrap of paper" and the
present peace, unless guaranteed
by the united forces of the civil
lized world, could not stand a |
generation.
Bending over the speakers
table, his face set in tense lines
and his right hand clenched, the
president exclaimed: "Any man
who thinks that America will |
take part in giving the world any |
such rebuff and disappointment
as that does not know America.
L lIlNlIc Illlll W 1bCot bIlO oNilti-
ment of the nation.
Interrupted by applause, the
president halted, and then evok-
ed the greatest demonstration OF
the afternoon when he added
that he would accept no sweet
er challenge than the issue OF
the American purpose in the
war.

he said with apparent feeling,
'and it is sometimes delight to
et it have scope, but if it is a

At another point in his ad-
lress the president said that ii

pointed he would wish for my
part never to have had Ameri-
"a play any part whatever in this
attempt to emancipate the world.
