NOTICE Of
SCHOOL OPENING

The Payette Public Schools will
open in all grades below the High
School on Monday, September 9Th,
1t is important that all pupils shah
enter on the opening date. Pupils
who enter later are handicapped
throughout the year and seldom full
ly catch up to grade.
The High School, on account OF
the unfinished condition of the build
ing, will not open until Monday
September 27. 1t is even more i'm.
portant that High School pupils shall
enter on the opening date. Our OBJ
servation is that students who enter
High School a few weeks, or even
less, after classes have started rarely
do work of standard grade and often
fail to make grade. They become dis
couraged because they can not under
stand what others have had and they
have missed, lose interest and drop
out. There is nothing quite SO help>
full in school work as getting a good
start
Since there will be no midyear
entering class in January, We will re
ceive in September in the Primary
grades all who will be six years of
age before January No pupils, who
have not previously been in school
here or elsewhere, will be received
in the Primary grades after Octo-
ber /. A child learns more in the
first three months of school life
than in any other three months of
its education. If any considerable
part of that time is missed the child
can not overcome the loss.
To avoid the rush at the book
store on the opening day, books may
be purchased during the week previ
Gus to school opening. The dealer is
provided with a book list by grades
and if you will Indicate your grade
he will give You the right books. /

CHICKENS DIE MYsTERIousLY

Mrs. Sam Walker, living in east
Payette tells of loosing number OF
chickens very mysterioHsly. On Mon
day morning 81 chickens were let
out of the chicken house into a
small yard and within a few hours
all we're dead. They seemed to go in.
to fits and die within a few minutes.
Some of the hens even layed eggs
while Hopping about the yard. 1t is
believed some unscrupulous person
scattered poison in the yard, how
ever there is no cause known for
such an act,

DOG BELIEVED
TO HAVE RABIES

Mrs. Carl Jacobsen and Mrs. Carl
Korup had quite a fright last week
while driving in their car on the
Willow Greek road about three miles
east OF town. A dog approached near
the car in front of them, frothing at
the mouth and gave every appear
ance Of being affected with rabies.
They were too close to attempt to
turn the car around for fear the
animal might jump into the car, so
applied the gas and ran by. The dog
however, made no attempt to molest
them but wandered through the
field to the hills. From the descrip'-
ton of the animals appearance ana
action it is believed it was suffering
from rabies. 1t would be well for
the people in that locality TO be Oh
their guard.

Tho significance of this proposed in,
crease so far as II relates to the sale
of automobiles and especially enclos-
ed cars Is apparent. II is Il well known
fact that only very small proportion
OF passengers ON trains travel dist,
anecs Of 500 miles or more. a very
large proportion, probably as per cent
travel n distance OF not moro than 100
miles, 1t Is obvious, therefore. that
the automobiles will more than ever
before complete with the train for the
short haul passenger traffic. Further,
the luxurious riding comfort and the
splendidly sustained reliability of
enclosed cars will rapidly enhance the
already widespread population OF the
enclosed type.
When one stops to consider such ac-
ccmplishments as that of John Banks
OF Newark, n. J., n n-professional
driver who on November IL, 1919,
drove n stock Franklin Touring Car
FROM New York City to Montreal, a
distance of S9S miles, in Q hours and
SO minutes. beating the quickest
scheduled train journey between the
two cities by hours and minute, no
doubt remains that the automobile can
compete with the train. A new era
Is in the making. and as. result the
public will demand cars in which long
tours cum be made with comfort and
that are ''ensy' on gas and tires.

LITTLE CAR CROSSES

To Chevrolet "Four-Ninety'' goes

Washington Deep snow and slippery

Of Seattle and his wife. They were
confident OF the abality Of their car to
cross the pass unaided and the ma
chine proved equal to the occasion.
Near the summit Scott hucked two
feet Of snow and in many places the
road was dahgerously slippery. Not
witbstanding the road conditions the
trip from Gle Elum to North Bend was
made in seven hours which in itself is
a record for midwinter travel.
From North Bend to Seattle the run
was made in high without further
trouble and when the car was inspect-
ed at the end Of the run it was found
that the motor had not suffered in any

HUSBAND DOES NOT
APPROVE SUBSTITUTE

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 2S.-The
custom of substituting husbands may
be all right in some foreign countries,
where it is reported to have become
quite popular. but. w. E. Maxfield, To-
cal clerk, thinks this country is no
place for it, at least not If it affects
his fireside, according to his divorce
complaint.
AIaxfield. in his complaint, AYERS
his wife, Hattie Maxfield, has acquired
a supernumary spouse. and that she
frequently passes the man off as her
husband. Because. he claims. the sub
stitute is an idle and dissolute charac-
ter. it causes him great pain and NOR
tification when the man is presented
as mfr. Maxfield."
Therefore the real husband would
have the marriage ties severed.
