PUBLISHER INDICTED BY A FED
ERAL GRAND JURY

Springfield, Ill.-The trial of Fred
Willhite, head of the Star Publishing
Company, charged with making false
afidavits to the government to obtain
second class mailing privileges for his
eight weekly newspapers, will prob
ably be started in September, accord
ing to federal officials. Willhite was
indicted on the charge of making false
afidavits by a federal grand jury.
Complaint against Willhite is I'M
derstood to have been made by the
Central Illinois Press Association, an
organization of the publishers of a
number of legitimate weekly news
papers in the smaller communities
throughout the territory surrounding
Springfield. Following the filing OF
formal charges that Willhite was us
ing the mails fraudulently, an invest1-
cation was conducted by the United
States Postal Department. 1t is pre-
sumed that the indictment was based
upon the report submitted by the IN
%spector, who inquired into the case.
According to the allegations of the
complaining publishers, Willhite was
operating a string of fake weekly
under the name of the
Fred T. Willhite Publications. He
had no subscribers, it was alleged,
but obtained the names of residents
of the respective communities o
telephone directories and tax lists.
Copies of his various papers were
mailed to several hundred ind1vld-
uals in the eight towns recited in the
complaint.
The publications which, it was
charged, were devoid of genuine sub
scribers and were being mailed as
second class matter, under false rep
reservations, were the following:
Divernon Review. Auburn Courier,
Riverton Post, Rochester Journal,
Williamsville Star, Illiopolis Herald,
Pawnee Tribune, New Berlin Register.
Under Willhite's plan, it is said,
most Of the pages were the same in
all of the newspapers one or two
pages being changed in each so as to
make the title OF the paper colle-
spond with the name of the town in
which the paper was supposed to be
published. At that time they were all
printed at Chatham and all mailed
through the Chatham post office.
Willhite's representations to the ad-
vertisers of Springfield are said to
have been so ridiculous that it is diff
cult to conceive how any merchant
could be attracted by them. Never
theless, advertisements of a number
of prominent business houses APP
reared from time to time in the pub
locations.
He reduced his advertising rates
three times in the last six months,
selling space at ten cents an inch

British Columbia Team
Good Sports, Poor Players

Colville defeated Trail in the base
ball game at the local grounds Sun
day with score of 16 to 6. The
game was a poor one, being too one
sided, for although the Colville play
ers had had no practice they played
a far superior brand of ball.
Colville got good start in the
first inning and continued with it
in the second. Trail then changed
pitchers and Colville failed to score
again until the seventh. Graham re-
lieved Moss in the box for the last
two innings, Moss going behind the
bat and proving that the "Rexall
battery" could work either way.
Tremblay was the outstanding
batter for Colville, making two two
baggers. Others were also good and
some clever base running was ex-
hibited by the Colville players.
Wernli played a perfect game at
first, making 13 tries and receiving
each one.
Although the game was a losing
one from start to finish for the visi-
tors they were good sports and took
defeat in a sportsmanlike manner.

Valuable Jersey Dies
and Brother for Sale

Herb f. Sharp, Jersey breeder of
Addy, last week lost the first reg
istered Jersey COW he ever owned,
Spok Ahne Tattle, age 7, the only
inbred daughter of Eminent Pilot,
and the only cow in the country that
was capable of carrying on the par
ticular line of inbreeding which has
been the business of Mr.. Sharp for
some years. The COW was purchased
from d. c. Dilworth of Spokane, and
leaves two daughters which are the
property of Mr.. Sharp. Death was
the result of ong-standing wound.
The value of the COW ran high in the
thousands.
AS result of the death of this
cow, Mr.. Sharp has decided to sell
her three-quarter brother, Spok Ahne
Rioter, the head of the Jersey herd
at the Sharp ranch. He is already in
communication with eastern parties
regarding a sale. Mr.. Sharp refused
an offer of hundred thousand dol
lars for this bull two years ago.
Spok Ahne Rioter is one of two
bulls in America rs per cent the
blood of a, gold medal bull out Of
dam with two rs per cent gold
medals.

To Make Pictures
on the Columbia
Metro Co. to Bring Famous
Actors for Production
of a New Play

Word has been received here that
part of Metros latest picture Quincy
Adams Sawyer" will be taken near
Marcus. The picture calls for a big
river scene, and Kettle falls has
been chosen as the best place to take
the picture. 1t is to be a thriller
from one end to the other, and it
is certain that one may get enough
thrills at the falls. Among those in
the cast are Elmo Lincoln, Lon
CLANCY, Charlie Murray, Louise
Fazenda, Blanch Sweet, Barbara La
Mar and John Bowers. All are
famous actors, but some are not as
we'll known to Colville theater goers
as Elmo Lincoln and Blanch Sweet
for they do not often appear on the
Colville screen. Local people will,
however, remember Elmo Lincoln as
TarZan in "Tarzan of the Apes" as
the Belgian blacksmith in the famous
postwar picture, and other plays.
He is known as the giant of the
screen. The latest show in which
Blanch Sweet appeared in Colville
was "That Girl Montana" a Mon
tana thriller with river scenes ga
lore.
A company of about 25 actors and
actresses will come to Colville, and
among those who will be here are
Blanch Sweet, Barbara Lamar and
John Bowers. The production will
be directed by Clarence Badger,
member of Metros staff.
A personal appearance of some of
the actors at the theater may be
arranged if the Colville people are
deeply enough interested. The produc-
tion of motion pictures has grown
to enormous proportions in the past
few years and Colville would do we'll
to avail itself of this method of adj
vertising and building up local in
dustry. This is the second picture
in the past six months which has
contained scenes "shot" in Stevens
county. The beauty and clearness
of atmosphere of the surrounding
country make this section exception
ally adapted to the taking of mo-
ton pictures.

Public Schools
Teaching Corps
Plans for the School Year
Indicate Strong Faculty
and Good Courses

The faculty for the Colville schools
for the coming year has been chosen
with the definite purpose of getting
teachers best fitted to the classes
which they are to teach. Another
member has been added to the high
school faculty for the coming year,
and physical training classes during
the school day eliminated. This will
make possible smaller classes and
will enable the teachers to give more
individual attention to pupils tagging
in their work.
Some changes will be made in the
interior arrangement of the high
school. The old physics laboratory
will be used exclusively as speci-
men room, and the room across the
hall, formerly the boys lunch room,
will be used as a science class room.
Both physics and chemistry will be
taught as a part of the curriculum
this year, instead of alternating
them every other year as was for
merly the case. Special periods for
debate and dramatics will probably
be arranged, and these activities will
in all Likelihood come during the
eighth period. The English classes
will probably be divided into more
sections than last year, but in other
ways the curriculum will be practical
ly the same.
1t is planned to have crest pc
riods" twice a day. These will be
similar to the crest periods" found
so beneficial in factories. At some
time in both the forenoon and after
noon bell will ring and the stu
dents pause in their work for a
moment. They will probably rise to
their feet and go through a few
light exercises under the direction
of the teacher in whose class they
are at the time The physical train
ing teachers will be at the gym after
school and will be in charge of the
work there. However, there will be
no compulsory physical training this
year.
All the teachers for the year with
the exception of the commercial
teacher are graduates of some col
lege, with at least a B. A. degree.
The faculty will be headed as in
the past three years by Superinten-
dent of Schools G. L. Putnam, B. &C.,
B. A., who has attended school at
Lima college, Ohio; Valparaiso Uni
versity, Indiana; and Washington
State college. Mr.. Putnam is work
ing for a masters degree from the
state college. He has had Ia years
of teaching experience, two in Ohio,
six at Reardan, three at Cheney and
three in Colville. He has also taught
at the Cheney state normal for five
summers.
II. A. Scarborough, B. &c., will be-
gin his fourth year as principal of
the Colville high school. Mr.. Scar
borough is graduate with honors
from the Iowa State college, where
he obtained his science degree. He
has taught one year in Cheney, three
in Colville and three summers at
the Cheney state normal, besides
serving overseas in the A. E. F. Mr..
Scarborough will teach chemistry and
bookkeeping this year.
Miss Muriel Anderson, a graduate
of Cheney normal, with years
teaching experience at Stockton,
Montana, and year in Colville, will
have charge of the commercial de-
partment again this year. She will
