GLEANINGS

Claud Gambler OF Lewiston was IN
Kendrick last Saturday visiting his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. C. B. Gambler.
Claud is still working on the rail-
road as fireman.
M. v. Thomas and Mrs. Ben Cal
lison went to Central ridge last
Sunday to attend the funeral of
their sister, Mrs. A. D. Hunter.
Miss Bernadine Moser entertain
ed a number of her university
classmates during the week end, at
her home in kendrick.
An exchange says that a Goldfish
lays a million eggs, while the help
full hen lays one; but the Goldfish
dues not cackle to inform US what
she's done, and so we scorn the
Goldfish coy, but the helpful hen we
prize, which indicates to thought
full minds it pays to advertise.
Last Saturday was the SEVENTEEN
birthday OF A. j. Aas OF Big Bear
ridge. \ He was Setting up the
cigars to his friends in kendrick,
by way of celebrating the event.
Idle rumors have been floating
around in this community that
there have been some successful
''home brew" parties in the vlcin-
lty. A ''home brew" party is a
comparatively simple thing. When
a fellow makes up his mind to hold
one he puts cold hen settln". 1t
isn't a real hen but is called that
because brew has to set 3 weeks be-
fore the connection of raisins,
sugar, yeast and water is ready for
consumption. When the liquid
produces frog eyes" it is ready
and has the kick.
The lack of social events caused
by the flu epidemic, has apparently
taken some of the life out of the
town. Now that the ban has been
lifted the same social spirit that
prevailed before will no doubt
again be with Us. Kendrick people
know how to have good times.
At the next meeting of the town
council there will no doubt be some
thing done in the way of starting
the preliminary work OF getting
the cement walk built from the
corner of the R. F. Bigham proper
ty past the A. C. Deeter property in
: the lower end of town. This walk
would greatly improve the proper
ty.
{ A concrete floor will be built in
the new Farmers Bank building.
After taking up the old floor it was
found the stills and joists were not
sound, SO Mr.. Atchlson decided to
make the floor permanent by put
ting in concrete.
The j. M. McCollum family Of
Southwick started for Wilderville,
Oregon the first of the week, where
they will make their home. Mrs.
Lydia Ludwig, sister of Mrs. Nc
Collum, left the same day for Spok-
n where she will visit her brother
and from there will return to her
home in Iowa.
Ward Rlggle went to Wyoming
last Saturday to look over a govern
ment irriagtion project which will
be opened soon. If the proposition
looks good to him he may remain
and take a chance on getting a
piece of land. The world war
veterans get first choice of the land.
A.. Wilmot purchased two more
NJ Intc IN VuISo0tfo lost uynnE ~ odd
to his property there. He now owns
an entire block of ground in town.
He is planning to raise a patch of
garlic. He says one good crop will
pay for the lots as it sells for as
cents per pound.
The next presidential nominee is
still a mystery. For a while Major
General Wood seemed to- be the
popular candidate. Now Herbert
Hoover is apparently gaining in
popularity. The writer wagered a
FIVE pound box of candy, over a
month ago with John Waldo that
Governor Lowden of Illinois would
be the next president. He's a good
bet yet.
Neal Nelson of Lewiston has been
appointed administrator of the
