WlLLENBORCS
BUY 633 ACRES
]. A. SCHULTZ SELLS LAND
PRICE PAID SI00
AN ACRE.

On Friday of last week, j. M.
Willenborg and his son, A. j.,
closed a deal with j. A. Schultz,
of Lapwai, whereby they become
the owners of 633 acres of fine
land located 8 miles north of
Greencreek, paying for the same
$4,000. The deal is one of the
largest to be transacted here
for some time and was made by
Felix Martzen, Cottonwood's
hustling real estate agent.
A deal of this large magni-
tude, coming at the time of the
year when financial conditions
are none too good and when
formers are more or less dis
heartened, due to the present
market and conditions in gener-
al, clearly demonstrates that the
Willenborgs have the utmost
c Mid :nce in this section, which
they regard as one of the best in
the entire northwest. Before
their purchase Friday, the Will
enborgs owned 320 acres, which
they have farmed for some years
and they are by no means at a
loss in knowing what the land
will produce. Besides Eeing
among the best farmers in Idaho
county they are also hard work
els which has been two of the
chief factors in placing them al
the head of the list among oul
successful farmers from a finan.
cial standpoint.
Within the last two weeks ap.
prcximately 100000 worth o1
lard has changed hands here
fhich speaks exceptionally wei
for this section when one consid'
ers that land sales in neighbor
ing districts ere practically dor
mant.

ROLL CALL-NOV. IL.

The Fifth Annual Roll Call
he American Red Cross will be
held from Novs mber 11th, Arm
stice Day to Thanksgiving Day.
The Lewiston Chapter of the
American Red Cross which en-
braces the counties of Idaho,
Lewis and Nez Perce. has a high
rating among the Chapters of
the Northwest and has received
National rec gnition for it's
Home Service activities. In adj
dition to this, the Chapter has
developed public health work to
a very high degree and, cooper
ating with the counties, now
maintains a public health nurse
in each of the counties.
Another activity in which the
chapter has accomplished much
is that of civilian relief. Accord
ing to the Secretary's report,
328 cases were handled during
the past year, involving an ex-
penditure of $2425.97 for actual
relief of families and individuals
and expenses of administration.
1t is interesting to note that
during the past year, in the
three counties, over four thous-
end children were examined for
physical defects by the nurses.
230 schools were visited; 2101
visits were made to homes and
954 cases were handled, includ-
ing surgical dressings, beside
nursing and assistance rendered
during operations.
This remarkable record bears
evidence of returns to the citi-
zens from their investment OF
past years in our Red Cross
work. A large part of the re.
ceipt of the coming Red Cross
Roll Call will be devoted to the
continuation of this splendid
service to our citizens, and it is
imperative that the people of the
three counties support the or.
ganization loyally, if the public
health work, home service. civil
ian relief and other activities oi
the Red Cross are to be continu
ed.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE?

what to do with our 9-year-
old murderer, who shot his faith
er in cold blood is puzzling the
citizens of Gooding these days
remarked Prosecuting Attorney
Fl. A. Padgham of Gooding in
Boise recently.
unlike the c9se of Jimmy
Whitaker, the 11-year-old hoy
who murdered his mother sever
al years ago, the Gooding county
boy appears to be perfectly nor
NAL, after having been given
every test that is known in such
cases. The Whitaker boy, you
may recall. was deficient in q
number of the tests. Like the
Whitaker boy, the Goodine
child shows no remorse for his
deed"
The boy, Mr.. Padgham says, is
now at the state industrial school
at st. Anthony. He is orderly
to Superintendent Vincent, and
has already won rearly enough
credits to grant him a parole
under ordinary circumstances.
The case is set for October 81
and it is Mr.. Padgham's hope, he
says, that arrangements may be
made with the board of educa.
ton whereby the boy may bt
permitted to remain at the state
school until he has a full educa.
ton, keeping the murder charg,
over him the entire time.

BRIDE AGE UNCHANGED.

Many things have changed in
the last 10 years. Women's
skirts have become shorter the
airplane has taken on multiple
uses, men hear each other across
the seas and liquor drinking has
become a lost art, says the New
York Sun. But one thing has
remained steadfast during those
10 years, and that is the average
age at which men and women are
wed.
An examination in the ar
chives of the marriage record
room on the ages of so couples
who promised to love, honor and
obey in 1911 discloses that the
men were % years old when they
strayed from the straight anC
narrow single path and the wo
men were "a years old. An ex'
animation of the ages of present
day couples reveals the sam,
state of affairs.
