< Fires Dest, oy 2 Houses

Two fires ocurred In Kendrlck the
first OF the week. The George Rig
gin house burned to the ground
about 3 o'clock Sunday morning and
the Ira Gentry house was totally
destroyed Monday evening.
George RIggin was IN Lewiston at
the time, ef-hts fire, having gone
there on the Saturday night train.
The fire was discovered by o. K.
MACPHERSON, the light awakening
him, after the house was mass of
flames. He gave the alarm but
found 1t almost impossible to awake
anyone at that unearthly hour IN
the morning. By the time a volun-
teer fire brigade had been organized
and the warerturned on, the house
was practically heap of cinders.
A collie dog was roasted IN the fire.
Mr.. Riggin says that when he lett
tor Lewiston he made bed on the
back porch tor the dog and put him
out of the house, so it is mystery
how the dog got in the house before
the fire started. The house and con-
tents were covered by S1200 klnsur-
ance.
The Gentry fire was discovered
by some of the high school, students
who were on their way to the gym
naslum to practice basket ball. The
house was not occupied so they
broke in the door, which was lock.
ed, but the building was so full OF
smoke they could not remain inside

could be secured from the hos'
house at the city hall. In the mean
time the school house tlre hose wa;
pressed into service and kept th'
fire under control to some extent un
til the city hose could be brough

How Much Do You Know?

Here's a sample.
If you see a new building there
are certain improvements you could
have made had you been the archl-
tect or the builder.
The man who lays new pave
ment doesn't do it just right. You
can point out the defects and tell
him how it should be done.
If the village dads pass new or.
dinance you can tear 1t to pieces and
lay bare Its glarlng inconsistencies
If the school board adopts new
set of books you know of another
set that would be tar better.
And if the preacher points out 6
road to hell you even know of &
shortcut to take.
How much do you know, anyway

Patrons.

A balcony has been constructed IN
the gymnasium this week by the
manual training boys. The work.
was begun only last Tuesday after
noon, but the boys were willing to
sacrifice their time and hard labor
to be able to accommodate the large
crowds which are expected to attend
the games this season. This will
better our seating facilities for to-
nights game. however, since there
IS anticipation of an extra large
crowd, you are advised to get your
tickets earlv. The admission will
be 20 and IS cents.
A Monroe Standardized Arith-
metlc test was recently given to the
intermediate and upper grades with
the following results noted: All the
grades were slightly below stand
ard; IN the 5th grade, only three
were above, those being Elbert
Long, Matte Reid and LeIah lay
lor. The sixth grade were consider
ably below and it Will take a great
deal of hard work to bring them
up to standard. There were eight
in the 7th grade above standard,
and fifteen below, those above be-
ing, Charles Sturdevant, Shirley
Clem,I Carl Sparber, Ellis Carlisle,
Hester Knepper. Myrrl Onstott,
Delbert Turner and Harry Flalg;
and IN the 9Th grade only four
pupils, Arthur Whalen, Loren Lew
is, CIarice Leith and MaudIe Comp
tonswere above the standard, while
nine were below. These results
show that a great deal of emphasis
must be put on arithmetic reason

their six week tests this week.
