NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Why Not Here, Also?

According to the Kendrick
Gazette, the town of Deary is
considering the development of
a series of home talent enter
tainments to be produced dur
ing the coming winter to re-
place in a measure the regular
Lyceum course which the town
has had other winters, but which
is to be abandoned this season.
This is an idea which has been
talked by few here in Kamiah
and it is none to early to give
it a little consideration at this
ime. Kamiah's talent for home
entertainments is widely known,
and there is no doubt that SER
les of entertainments could be
produced that would afford al
vast amount of pleasure for us
and raise considerable money
which would be spent for home
enterprise. Progress.

dam across Orofino creek ali

The seventh child of seventh child

with the power of curing headaches and

Among the later discoveries in
eugenics was that the younger chill
dren Of very intelligent men inherited
more of their fathers intelligence than
did the older children; Or, as sometimes
happened, that the children of a
younger son were Supremacy gifted
with intelligence. The reason for this
according to eugenic theQries-is that
talented men or women. like many
others, usually marry when fairly
young If they marry at all. The older
children of such talented man have
therefore the tendency to inherit only
what mental qualities he may have de-
veloped at that time.
But supposing that the talented man,
as Is usually the case, continues to de-
velop amazing mental qualities, then If
he has children when his brain II com

In the announcement that the dean
