where Dairying is Encouraged.

Dairying has proven such paying
line for farmers in the Peck and Oro-
fino sections that 70 head of grade and
registered Gurnsey mixers are being
shipped to the former point and 4s
head to the latter, and will arrive Sat
urday from Wisconsin. The enterprise
is financed by local banks at those
points and the cattle will be parceled
out among the farmers of that terri
tory.
In pursuance of this plan, which was
worked out some time. back by those
communities, a committee composed of
G. H. Eade, the Peck banker, Station
Agent Lowry, of orofino, and an ex-
pert from the Idaho University, went
east some days ago and picked the
cattle from among the best known
dairy herds in Minnesota. The results
will be watched with interest.

SHOW CAPTURES NEzPERcE.
Kamiah Talent In Looking for Mary
jane Gets Big House and
Ovation Here.

Kamiah came to Nezperce last
Thursday with the comedy, Looking
for Mary Jane" as home talent
proposition and gave us one OF the
hest entertainments ever worked out
in local theatre. Our folks expected
the show to be good-it had been SO
unclaimed by those who had seen 1t
the Friday before in Kamiah, and they
filled the Temple Theatre to capacity.
r. was so much better than the run OF
home talent productions that critics
soon had it classified in the profes-
sional column.
The play itself, well written, three
act comedy, spiced full of real wit
was not hung on a group of players
like an ill-fitting suit of clothes, but
was evidently selected by one who
knew he had people to fit the parts
and this fitness was remarked through
out the score.

snecial numbers by Wade Wilson and
his seven chorus girls, "The Follies, =

were recalled with an applause that
meant what it said. The return od

A Better Plan.

During an appreciated visit at The
Herald office Saturday, w. A. Dlss-
more, the pioneer merchant of Kamiah,
who has been among the spectators
bere at district court the past few
davs offered suggestion which local
communities might profitably consider,
II IS in effect, that Kamiah and Nez-
narce as well as other communities,
carry on a system of interchanging To-
oa1 talent entertainments, after the
plan put over by these two towns ias'
week with their Ministries ana hooh,
ing for Mary Jane" in heu Oh .ne
lvceum courses we generally have thru
the winter months. The idea IS lauen
with many fruitful possibilities, ano
is a fine subject for discussion by local
civic clubs.

'sThe Follies' between the second
and third acts in farmerettes' garb
was quite as emphatically received.
It took lot of drilling to gain the
degree of excellency displayed and o
lot of patience, and one must agree
that there is unusual talent in the or

Club has selected for its show troupe

scHooL NOTES.

The grade school program will be
given Saturday evening instead of
Friday as had been previously ar
ranged. Due to the fact that much
time and effort has been put forth for
preparation, it has been decided that
charge of fifteen cents will be made
The proceeds will be turned over to
the school and will be added to the
fund which has already been started
for the purpose of installing steam
heat in the gymnasium and auditorium.
The Baccalaureate sermon will be
delivered by Rev. Flora, in the Com
munity church, at eleven O'Clock, Sun
day morning.
The Commencement Address will be
delivered by Glenn w. Hutton of Spo-
kane at the High School auditorium

The following men, having partici
pated in majority of the high school
baseball games, are entitled to the
school "No: Ebert Stellmon, John
Flatt, Dale Harding, William Conger,
Roy Rowe, Harold Cook, Tom Mock
er, George Anderson, Wilbur Ellis and
Herschell Basket.
Last Tuesday morning at five
o clock, several of the members OF the
Senior class were awakened from their
peaceful repose rather abruptly, when
the alarm was given that 1928 pen
nant hung on the flag pole. The Sen
iors arose quickly and were soon on
the field of battle. By their unex-
pected early arrival, the Seniors
caught the Juniors unawares and the
fight was short and snappy. John
Flatt. Senior, succeeded in reaching
and climbing the pole. Much credit
must be given to the three girls, Maud
.Jamison, Hazel Stellmon and Florence
Shortledge for without their aid the
Senior boys could not have overcome
their opponents.
Moral: The early bird catches the
worm.
Later the same day the Seniors be-
came CONSPICUOUS UCCduSO u eHS1A -
sence. After pondering for an hour
or two; the rest of the students de-
cided that they must have "sneaked. =
1t was about 7:30 a. m. that the
Seniors. with Mr.. Terry as chaperone,
departed for Orofino. They chose a.
spot one-half mile above Orofino for
their picnic grounds. An elaborate
feed was then enjoyed and the rest
of the time was spent in hiking and
eating. About six O'Clock in the
evening they motored to Ahsahka and
then departed for home. All reported
a GOOD time and are only too sorry
that they can not enjoy another such
trip.
The winchester Senior Glass play,
Untangling Tony" was good ana
there was much larger attendance
than was expected. The N. Il. ;.
Senior class will have about forty five
dollars to start the fund for heating
tbe own and auditorium.

The Nezperce base ball team played
its first league game of the season at
Kamiah Sunday, winning with IL to
5 score. All home talent players were
employed by each team and new stars
are beginning to shine on the local
base ball horizon. John Flatt, tho
local High School twirler, was in the

team to 6 hits and struck out men.
The game started off with Nezperce
scoring in the first when Henrichs
tapped out double and then stole
third and home. Kamiah failed to
score. In the second the tables were
turned, Kamiah scoring when Kip got
on thru muffed grounder and was
brought ON around by Davis two-b bag
ger. In the third Nezperce was held
scoreless while Kamiah ran in one
more man, making the score to l,
a slugging match in which the Kamiah
pitcher slipped and allowed hits and
runs while Flatt held the valley slug
gers to / hit and runs.
With the exception of one score in
the 5th when E. Stellmon went around,
the pitchers held the game scoreless
until the sth when Mccoy Hill took
over the box for Kamiah. He was
hammered out of the box letting Nez-
perez have S hits and six runs in the
one inning, but holding them scoreless
in the ninth. Kamiah got one hit and
one run in the eighth, and was then
shut out.
The game was well attended by Nez-
perce rooters who aided greatly in

here, but in the way of entertainment
