The promise of Christ's love
He lives within that realm of
peace
From suffering he has release
with him above.
Hope, hope the hope of faith
The hope endures for aye
Not vain the vision of our hope
The gates again some day will
open,

IN RICH COUNTY.

The Chronicle this week re-
ceived an interesting letter from
Art Thoelke, formerly employed
by the Cottonwood State Bank,
who is now located at Perham,
Minn., where he is interested in
the Farmers State Bank of Per-
ham. The letter reads as follows:
"Mr. George Medved,
Cottonwood, Idaho.
Dear George
Enclosed please find check for
$500 for the Chronicle. We
certainly enjoy reading it and
always look forward to the day
that we will receive it.
Our business is picking up a
little every day, we now have
footings of a little over $50, ,OOO,-
90, considering the times / think
we are doing quite well. Accord
ing to dope gathered by the gov
ernment we are in the thirty
fifth richest county in the Unit
ed States, and are the second in
the N. w. being passed only by
Dane County, Wis.
Very truly yours.
A. H. Thoelke."
1t might not be amiss to state
that dairying is the chief indus
try of the county in which Mr..
Thoelke now resides. This is al
so true, of Dane County, Wis,
Evidently the Community Club

track when it boosts the dairy
industry.

Enrolment Dates

A slight change has been made in
the dates for enrolment in the High
School. AS previously announced the
Freshmen will enroll at the Superin-
tendent's office on August 29th. and
goth. After enrolling the individual
will go to the Principals office for
arranging his program. During the
last four days Of the week, the three
upper classes will enroll at the Prin-
cipaPs offce,-the Sophomores on
August 30th.; the Juniors on August
31st.; and the Seniors on September
LIST. and End. The purpose of extend
ing the time of enrolment is to allow
more time for personal consultation,
verification of credits and arranging
of program. Two days have been set
aside for the Seniors in order that the
credits each will have at graduation
next Spring may meet the demands of
college entrance requirements in that
line which the individual may wish to
follow thereafter. If every High
School student makes it a point to en-
roll early on the day or days designat-
ed for his particular class, a satisfac-
tory program in every respect will
more likely result. There are some
subjects which offer only limited op-
portunity for enrolment Those who
enroll first will of course be given
prior consideration in the choice of
subjects.
