GU ~ AuHSn OH AueSu -
January l Ahas been postponed -
s spp as6aa *, 1sIss-s1
from K.~G. Mathesod, presideh
of Tech, who has been handling the
details of the proposed trip. The
telegram stated that the postpone
ment was occasioned by requests and
suggestions coming in from all parts
of the state.
The tour which was to have been
made by 125 Georgia business and
industrial men to 35 towns and
cities in the state, was to have last
ed for six days only, from January
10 to Is, with short stops in "a
places. The protests against the
tour being made in January were
due largely, it is stated, to the short
time being allowed at each place,
and a number of towns of impor-
lance being omitted from the sche-
dule entirely. The trip in March is
planned as more elaborate and thor
ough than would have been possible
in the original schedule.
Preparations were under way here
under the leadership Of Mayor Shep-
pard, for an ocicial welcome and for
proper entertainment of the tour
lists while they were to have been in
Americas from 1915 to 2:30 D. m.
The details of the entertainment had
not been entirely worked out, pend
ing the receipt of definite informa-
ton from Atlanta as to what were
the desires of the tourists, but they
included a luncheon and other fea-
lures.

Death Claims Evert B. Blenders

1t is with a feeling Of deep re
gret and sadness that we under
take the recording here of The
death of Evert Bernard Blenders
which occurred just before one
bppvaseeehepea shrd hrdl mfwyn
Q clock on Sunday morning, Mar
21, at the home of his mother-in-
law, Mrs. c. S. Cook, in this city
The end came as the result OF
pneumonia, following influenza.
with which he was stricken eleven
days prior to his death.
Loving hearts and willing
hands and the best medical skill
procurable did everything to save
the patient from the dreadful NAL
ady which each day of its relent-
less siege gained a firmer hold up
on its victim.
The funeral was conducted al
200 o'clock yesterday afternoon
from the Christian church, Rev.
Geo. H. Ellis and Elder B. j. Fike
having charge Of the service. The
church was filled with the neigh
bors and friends of this fine
young man, who assembled there
as final tribute to dim whom
all respected and esteemed. The
remains were laid to rest in the
local cemetery.
The deceased was born at Creta,
Nebraska, on December %, 1886.
He came to this community IL
years ago last fall, and the fol-
lowing year was followed hither
by his parents, and the rest Of the
family, where they purchased
large farming interests and have
since been classed among our
most extensive and successful
farmers, the deceased and his
three brothers taking full charge
of the business last fall, when
their parents and youngest sister
returned to Nebraska to reside.
On June %, 1914, the subject OF
this sketch and Miss Bessie Cook,
one, of the community's most
charming daughters, were united
in marriage. Besides his wife and
parents, he is survived by three
brothers and four sisters: John
Frank and William Blenders OF
thiss vicinity; Mrs. Ed. Oetkin, of
Kanriah; MRS. Ella Steinheider,
Of Dorchester, Neb.; Mrs. Omar
Marshall, of this vicinity; and
Miss Louise Blenders, OF Creta,
Neb.
The visitation Of the Grim
Reaper always brings sadness and
sorrow, but, as in this case, the
load is doubly felt when the call
is made while life is at its fullest,
when the foundation has been
well laid for success and a vista
rich in promise stretches into an
apparent far future. In their bur-
den of this, their first great sor-
row, the family of Evert Blenders
have the heartfelt sympathy OF
all who knew him.

There will be no school Friday
because of the teachers conven.
ton, which will be held at lie
that day.
Last Thursday evening between
the setting of the sun and the
early dawn the Juniors mustered
up the courage to hang upon the
flag pole at half mast their colors
and when the seniors arrived next
morning they were asked what
they (the Juniors) were going to
do about it. This proved to be
too much of an insult to the Sen
ior as a mass meeting was hurried
ly called in the street and ways
and means were discussed as to
how the pennant was to be remov-
ed. At the first onslaught Of the
seniors they were badly defeated.
Then they retreated and enlisted
the srvices of the Sophomores and
the Freshmen rallied to the ranks
of the Juniors. Finally after a
general mixup the seniors and
sophomores succeeded by super
ior startegy and harder fighting
in scaling the pole and removing
the pennant. After all was over
everybody shook hands and out
side of few bloody noses the
seniors and sophomores retreated
the victors of the day.
The Spartan Literary Society
challenged the Athenians to a
game of basket ball which was
played last Thursday evening.
The game turned out with a score
Of 25 to IA in favor Of the Spar
tans.
By the end of this week the
high school will be equipped with
20 steel lockers for use in the
dressing rooms. Supt. Skinner,
through his correspondence with
the Spokane Y. M. G. A., heard Of
their proposed sale, and the gen
erous offer Of the school board to
bear half the expense made their
purchase possible. They cost SO
apiece and 20 high school boys
subscribed $1.50 each, while the
school board paid the remainder
and, in addition, the freight charg-
es from Spokane to Nezperce.
Hitherto there have heen no ar
rangements adequately taking
care of athletic equipment and the
lockers are a great asset to the
school.

The "Amazons Scores Big Hit.

The Amazons, a farcial romance
was produced with polished per-
fection at the high school auditor
ium last Friday evening.
The play was set in an exten-
sive pre-war English park on a
sunshiny September day. Lady
Belturb who owned the park,
had three clever daughters whom
she had brought u pas boys-in
fact they were boys, until one day
they fell in love. Shooting, swim
ming and other in lovefdw mfwy
ming and other boyish pranks
ceased to be fun and the one de-
sire was to don petticoats. At
the end of the play they were seen
in their true glise-three charm
ing young English women, living
in an age previous to the war.
It would be hard to comment
upon the characters Individually
for they each afforded ample en-
tertainment and justified the one
purpose of Sir Arthur Wing Pin
eros famous drama which is to
amuse.
