WOMEN ELECTED
ON SCHOOL BOARD

The popularity of the women
among the voters of Independent
School District No. 32 seems to
have won the day. For the first time
in the history of the district, two
ladies will take their seat on the
board of directors as the result of the
election last week, Mrs. E. e. Parsons
and Mrs. H. w. Douglass were the
candidates who won over H. o. Mus
grove and H. r. Boomer who were up
for reelection. The ladies should
be congratulated for defeating men
of experience and well qualified to
fill the position. We have no particu-
lar objection, to little feminine mix
ture on the board of education, but
the men who remain on the board
may have to put the soft peddle on
and confine their stories to
a parlor conversation, however, we
anticipate equally good results from
the action of the board.

YOUNG MAN RETURNED
To THE ASYLUM

Winifred Kerr, an ex-serYice man,
34 years of age was retUcnCl to the
esylum at Steilacoom, Washington,
by Sheriff Jefferis last Saturday from
which place he escaped nearly one
year ago. The unfortunate young
man became demented wAils IN the
service in France and vas brought
back to this country and cared for AZ
the Percedio California Asylum,
and later taken to SteiIacocm, escap-
ing from there last fall. Since then
his whereabouts has not been known
until word was received from here
last week. He was found by Con-
stable H E Tussing in the vicinity
of Fruitland about September first in
a filthy and ragged condition and
brought to Payette where he re
ceived care in the county Jail bv
Sheriff Jefferis for several days be-
fore it was learned where he be-
longed. A message from the superin-
tendent at the Steilacoom institution
gave the address of his mother at
Grangeville, Idaho, who was wired
by Sheriff Jefferis, and who came TO
Payette and betrayed the expence in
taking her son back to the asylum.
The young man was not violent
and would talk freely but was labor
ing under the elusion that he was
still being sought by the Germans.

order to dodge the many immediate
friends and associates who were an
ticipating the coming event, that the

might be uninterrupted, and imme-
diately after the ceremony Mr. and
Mrs. Cochran left for Caldwell ac-
companied by DR.. and Mrs. Wood

to go peaceably to their beau
tifully furnished apartment in the
Patch building. after a dinner party
with a few of their friends, at the
Blue Bird, thinking they had COM

through the streets of
