School Notes

The Seniors are the proud possess
sors of new class rings. The design
is simple but effective.
Don't forget that the lyceum num-
ber given by the school is scheduled
for March l8.
On Friday afternoon will occur
the old fashioned "Ciphering Con-
test" in high school. The winner
will be announced next week.
1t is hoped that arrangements can
be made for staging the senior play
not later than April. There will be
a decided advantage to both pupils
and faculty in putting this on be-
fore the rush of examinations and
commencement begins.

purpose of meeting together in a
social way during the dinner hour
and discussing anything of interest
that might tend to promote the well
fare of the community.
Before the banquet the manager
of the cate told one of the business
men not to expect too much as the
dinner had been prepared on short
notice. However, no apologies
were necessary as it was one of the
best "feeds" that the Club has ever
had. Everything was nicely pre-
pared and the service was excellent.
After the cigars had been passed
around general discussion, cover :
ing almost every subject imaginable.
was continued until ten o'clock.
One of the favorlte topics was the
prospect of celebrating the Fourth

ment seemed to be strongly in favor
of a celebration and the matter was
referred TO members of the Amer
ican Legion to be passed upon at
their next meeting. If they are in
favor of celebrating 1t is under.
stood that they will receive any
and all assistance necessary to
make the celebration success.

Nez Perce Squirrel Campaign

Big polson-mlxing bees will be
held in Nez Perce county this
month. The ones that particularly
interest this community are to be
held at Leland and Southwlck,
These community campaigns are be-
ing carried on under the direction
OF the farm bureau, each community
chairman having charge of the work
in his district.
The date for the meeting at
Southwick Is Thursday morning,
March II at 10 a. m. L. J. South
wick is pest control committeeman.
At Leland the meeting will be held
Friday morning, March 18 at 10 a.
m. VIM. F. Behrens is the pest
control committeeman.
The following extract was taken
from the Farm Bureau News of Nez
Perce County:
This season we are going to give
the squirrels another big battle as
part of the big plan of the final ex-
termination of them. Our aim last
year was to wipe out halt of them
throughout the entire county.
Some members think we killed
seventy-tve percent, but in any
event there still are many left to
kill, so we propose another efficient
campaign. We have heard only
great praise regal ding the work of
the poisoned oats. Not one COM
plaint has come in to the Farm Bur-
eau Office.
"We propose big polson-mixing
bees in each community similar to
those of last year, except that it is
not necessary for community COM
mittemen to collect deposits in ad-
vance. We are financing the cam
palgn this year with funds out of
the treasury of the County Farm
Bureau with which we buy the
chemicals thru the University Ex-
tension Division at very low
price, purchase the other ingred-
ents OF the poison mixture locally,
and distribute at cost as before.
1--WE have made up our estimate
on cost and figure that altho the
strychnlne alkaloid is higher this
year, and some other supplies are
also. still some other things are a
little lower than last year. Accord
lngly as near as we can figure the
cost price will be 80 cents a quart
in 8 quart units, which is the only
way it will be sold. A man can get
as many quart sacks as he wants.
but it will be necessary to pay cash
: at the time of thsmlx,ng bees. as
. this is the only way that the Bureau
can manage it.

Road Work Begun

The Kendrick Highway Commits
sioners started operations in the
spring road work the first of this
week. The first work was done
just above Juliaetta, as the ground
was in fairly good condition there.
THIS strip OF road is out of the dis
trict but the county commissioners
made deal with the highway board
to rent the tractor and grader,
with the regular men in charge,
until this work could be finished.
There is also strip below Jullaetta
which is being graded with the
machinery. The commissioners telt
that it would be better to cooperate
with the county commissioners in
this way, as the road which is being
graded is used considerably by the
people of this district. The county
commissioners agreed to pay a
sufficient sum for the use of the
machinery to cover cost of gas and
oil, wages for the men in charge
and liberal amount tor wear and
tear on machinery.
The first part of next week the
commissioners expect to put the
grader on the road between the Pot.
latch bridge, about a mile above
town, to the Pine Creek bridge
As soon as this is put in shape the
grader will be used on the grades in
the district.
After the usual spring road work
has been finished the commissioner.
will build strip of permanent roaC
extending from the city limits O.
kendrick at the Bear Creek bridg,
to the bridge across the Potlatch a
the mouth of Wandscher gulch
This piece of road will be put on |
grade and surfaced with crushe,
rock. 1t is one of the roughes
stretches of road in Latch count
and it will be welcome news to tn
many farmers who have to hau
over it, to learn that it is going t
be put in first class condition..
lhe district is fortunate in havin
two good men in charge of tn
machinery. Gabriel Forest of Bi
Bear ridge is operating the tracto
and M. o. Raby has charge of tn
grader.

Cigarette Bill Revised

The revision of the cigarette bill,
recommended by the governor,
places all dealers of tobacco under
$500 bond and a license costing
$50 year. The new bill is said to

sale of cigarettes to minors. When
this bill becomes law any dealer
convicted of selling or giving cigar
cites to minor will forfeit his
bond of $500 and have his license
revoked. The bill is meeting with
general approval.

Over The County

Troy News: h. N. Enhom arrived
in this city Tuesday to visit his
ranch near Troy, which he purchas-
ed last tall. He will remain here
for some time and have his head
quarters at the Inland Hotel. He
is promoting the oil industry in
this section of the country. He is
here to take leases on farm land.
He has found evidence OF oil, he
states, and that is why he purchased
land and if he can get good num-
ber of leases and receive the right
kind of encouragement he will put
down some test wells near the town.
Now don't get excited and think
you are going to be j. d. OF king
and hold out that you may get
better inducements to lease. Meet
it fair and if it should be true that
oil is under the earth in this section
you will share IN the game and get
all that is coming to you.' Take a
chance, he says, and find out the
facts. If there IS oil in this country
for the love of all good and bad lets
get her out of the ground to help
grease the wheels of progress for
they have been getting dry lately.
