j. H. McLain If the Lewiston

numerous calls in Lewiston for
Kendrick Strawberries. These
strawberries are raised on Texas
ridge and shipped from Kendrick.
They have reputation for quality
and are always in great demand.
They come later than the berries in
the lower country but many people
prefer to wait until they are on the
market before buying for canning
purposes. The crop this year, un-
fortunately, is very light. :
Walter McCrea, who has been at
tending Annapolis Naval Academy
for the past year, resigned a short

ed SO that if he decides to go back
again he may enter next September
without taking an examination.
His father received the papers

last week. Walter wrote home that
Lii his folks wished it he would re-
turn to the academy in the fall but
that he didn't like it there. He is
now working in Philadelphia.

lieve they have very strong teach
ing force for the ensuing school
