Road Meeting Friday

Last Friday morning a road meet
ing was held in the town hall at
Kendrick. Citizens from Juliaetta,
the county commissioners, county
engineer and representatives of
Kendrick were present. The meet
ing was held for the purpose of
making a definite decision in regard
to the building of better grade
between Kendrick and JuIiaetta, and
to select the location of the grade.
Some time ago grade was
surveyed over the Powell hill
but there was considerable dissatis-
faction over the location as it was
thought to be higher up the side
of the hill than necessary. By get
ting a permit from the railroad
company to parallel the track for
a short distance water grade could
be secured at probably less expense
than by going over the Powell hill.
After the meeting the commits
sioners. county engineer and other
interested parties viewed the pro-
posed grade and found it to be en-
tirely feasible. The engineer
promised to be here some time this
week to survey the new location
and could then give a general es
innate as to the relative cost be-
tween the two proposed locations
The general opinion is held thai
theS construction of a water grade
between the two towns would bt
the opening wedge that woult
eventually bring about the construc
tion of a highway from Pine Creel
to Lewiston something greatly to b.
desired by both Kendrlck and Julia
eta.

Not Have Service Flag

Mrs. Walter McCrea received word
from Moscow this week that the pro-
posed county service flag could not
be secured on account of the lack
of cooperation among number of
the towns of the county.
Mrs. McCrea was appointed some
time ago to represent Kendrick in
securing the necessary data concern
ing the boys who entered the service
from this locality, and also to
solicit the amount of twenty-five
dollars as Hendricks share toward
the purchase of the flag. Kendrick
was the first town in the county to
send in the money and information
called for.
AS long as the county flag is a
dead issue the money will be re-
funded to Kendrick at an early
date. There is something over ten
dollars in addition to the twenty
five, which was raised for Incidental
expenses that. might arise. making
total of about thlrtv-fve dollars
in the fund. 1t has been suggested
that this money be used to get q
community service flag for the towr
and that the flag be raised Memorial
day, if the flag could be secured by
that time, and appropriate memoria
services held. If properly carried
out the boys would greatly apprec.
late this token of esteem and i
would be a tribute that they more
than deserve.

Squirrel Campaign Still on

The Latah County Farm Bureau
is continuing its squirrel control
campaign and meetings and demon
strations are being held in various
parts of the county. By next week
practically every community in
which the squirrels are serious
pest will have had help with its
problems. This week meetings will
be held on Big Bear, Little Bear,
American and Driscoll ridges.
County Agent 0. S. Fletcher re-
ports that a great deal of interest
is shown in this work and that in
most communities the results of
concerted community action are
already to be seen In organized
communities Monday of each week
has been designated as poison
ing day, with the understanding
that everyone will poison on that
day thruout the squirrel season. If
Monday is bad day and stormy,
the first fair day thereafter is
poisoning day. By all poisoning on
the same day the squirrels are pre-
vented from moving from infested
land to land on which the squirrels
are being controlled.
The poisoning formula that is be-
ing used is the one recommended
for the Columbia ground squirrel
by the Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The formula follows:
MIX together dry, ounce OF pow
dered strychnine (aIkalold), ounce
of baking soda, l teaspoonful of
saccharine, and 3 tablespoonsful of
flour. Add a little cold water and
stir thoroughly to smooth creamy
paste. Apply to IL quarts of oats
and mix thoroughly to distribute
the poison evenly.
The farmers who are following
this formula carefully are securing
excellent results. The Columbia
ground squirrel hulls the oats, eat
ing only the kernal. In hulling
oats prepared accordingto the above
formula enough poison fakes off in
the mouth to kill the squirrel. Mr..
Fletcher states that many farmers
are. decreasing the effectiveness OF
their poison mixture by attempting
to improve the formula by adding
syrup, sugar, or glycerine. Any of
these substances will practically
prevent taking off of the poison, SO
that the squirrel gets very little
poison while hulling the oats and
is not nearly so apt to be killed as
in the case when the poison is mix
ed properly and according to the re.
commended formula. Glycerine and
syrup are valuable when preparing
poison for species of squirrels that
eat the entire oat, but ruins poison
bait that is intended for the Colum.
bia squirrel, which is the one COM
mon in Latah county.
If this poison stands for too long
a period before it is laid out it will
dry out and the poison paste will
flake off the oats when the bait il
handled. This can be remedied b!
placing the poisoned oats in th'
mixing box the sprinkling then
with small quantity Of. water
Work the water over the oats untl
they are damp and the poison will
again be ready for use.
Anyone wishing help with hi
squirrel problem should get int
communication with County Agen
Fletcher, or see him at his office il
the Farmers Union Building o.
Saturdays.

Appears After "a Years.

A curious situation has resulted
from the appearance in Boston of
Charles C. Jones, who was declared
legally dead twenty-four years ago.
A forty-year insurance policy, taken
out on his life in 1871, was surrends
ed in 1895 in the belief that Mr..
Jones had passed away, and the
amount due on it was paid to Mrs.
Jones and her children, the benefi-
Charles under the policy.
Now Mr.. Jones has appeared and
claims that the forty years have ex-
pired and the full $4,000 represent
ed by the policy is due him. Judge
Fox in the equity session of the SUI

ments of demurrer of defendants,

NAVY HEADQUARTERS FOR
INSURANCE AT LOUISVILLE

The Government is now conduct
ing an active campaign to urge and
influence the men who have beene IN
the service to continue their govern
ment insurance and for this purpose
have stationed men in all the larger
cities to give information and advice
to the men. Ensign McNeff, U. s. N.
r. f. is representing the War Risk
Insurance Bureau in Kentucky, with
headquarters at the Nevy Recruiting
Station, Louisville, KY.
The Government is doing Won
derful work in offering this Insurance
to its former fighting men and it is
from no selfish motives. 1t is offering
it to the men in part payment for
their services which were rendered
during the war and the men should
realize that it is valuable right and
privilege which once thrown away
can never be regained.
During the war the men were Civ
en- what is called Term Insurance
which they may carry for period
of five years after peace is declared
with the privilege of converting,
within that time, into six standard
forms of policies, viz: Ordinary life,
20-year endowment, 30-year endow-
ment and endowment maturing at the
age of 62. The rates on these new
policies are the cheapest that have
ever been offered for the reason that
there is no expense attached to it,
all expenses being paid out of sep
arate fund and in addition TO being
low the Government viii pay dividends
which no doubt win be substantial,
for the same reason. All of the claus
Is of these policies are the most lib
sral than can be made and for which
no extra charge is made. One feature
N particular is the disability clause
which protects the men for the entire
ife of the policy, which in the case
If ordinary hfe or 20 or 80 payment
ife would be for the whole of life.
The disability may occur at any age
md if permanent the Government
will waive premiums and pay the pol
cy holder 1913 for each thousand
# insurance carried.
The Government during the war
lad on its books some 100000 men
With a policy value of $4,000, 000,-
100 averaging $4,000 for each man.
t is the hope that most of these men !
Yill retain and it is a patriotic duty t
or all to see that our former fight &
ne men continue this insurance. t
