s. E. M1KKELsoN HAS BIRTHDAY.

1t has been discovered that there is
one thing at which S. E. Mikkelson
is better at than buying grain and that
is being host when his better half pulls
off celebration of his birthday, and
it does not seem to matter whether the
said celebration is a surprise affair or
all open and above board. This fact
was made evident in the very much
enjoyed party given by Mrs. Mekkel-
son and her sister, Miss Pearl Brannon
at the pretty Mikkelson home in this
city last Friday evening.
The man of the house had been in
duced to invite a few gentlemen
friends for an evening at pinochle, not
being appraised of nor mindful of the
fact that it was his birthday, and after
the game had progressed to about the
third cigar, the party" which had
been busy assembling elsewhere, swoop-
ed down in full chorus and soon madc
S. Z. realize that this was no common,
ordinary day of the week, but one on
which to rejoice abundantly-his 27tn
birthday, and something of coinci-
dence in that it happens on the 27th
of the month. He was fully equal to
the occasion and joined gleefully in
the expansion of his little party to
the full house affair.
Dancing, cards and music kept the
crowd in good spirits until the lun-
cheon hour, and the bill served by ths
ladies so increased the good spirit that
the frolic was continued well into the
morning of the second day.
In the game of life men overlook the
milestones by the way, till gentler
souls beguile their mood with, stop,
look, listen and pray.

STOCK rs SUBSCRIBED.
Opening of New Bank Now Matter OF
Completing Details Senti-
ment Unanimous.

A little while ago, when this com
munity was wallowing in a sea Of
gloom and ooze from a defunct bank
the matter of resuscitating the insti
tuition or building new one from the
ruins of the old, seemed all but hope
less, and few there were to gather W
the loose ends of the broken thread.
and attempt to resplice them, and al
first the effort was istless enough
Discouragement was met at every an
gle. But the necessary few were here
and the work was begun. AS each OBJ
stacle was surmounted, the effort broi
greater strength and fortitude for tn,
next. Through nearly two months ths
work was carried on unrelentingly.
The victory was particularly won al
a community meeting on January 81
and ON last Saturday it was cinched
at similar meeting in the Fraterna
Hall when sufficient stock subscrip
tions were secured to bring the total
well past the required 500 shares, pal
value of $110 each.
No particular demonstration marked
the arrival at the crest of this under
taking. That will come later. Fol
the present silent prayer of graft
ude goes up from all; and the workers
continue their efforts to close the de-
tails as soon as possible.
Principal and foremost among these
details is the securing of notes and
financial statements from the subscrib-
ers; as most of the cash for the capital
stock must be supplied by outside
banks on local paper. This was the
understanding from the first, and those
in authority stated the outside banks
were agreeable to the arrangement.
The next move is the delivery of such
notes and financial statements to mem
bers of the committee. The sooner
this is done the sooner the new bank
will become living, moving force in
the community. Delay in this blocks
action all along the line. Act at once.
Many have turned in their paper. This
phase should be closed up this week.
A small percentage of this paper will
not be acceptable by the outside banks.
More subscriptions must be secured to
offset this. 1t will take time to pass
upon all paper submitted. Everything
urges everyone interested to immediate
action.
After the cash is secured for the
capital stock, the subscribers win meet
and organize the bank by electing q
board Of directors and then the name,
policy and general plans of the insti-
tuition will be formulated and such ac-
tion taken as. the state banking laws
require.
Let's finish the job.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
,ocal Five wins from Charleston.

~~e%% <~ts
Last Saturday, January %, the Nez
perez High School basket ball ter m de
feated the Charleston five on the home
floor, by a score of % to 10. This
was the fastest game played here SO
far this season. Our boys started of
with spirit of determination, and
kept this spirit throughout the game
The Charleston boys were equally de-
termined to win, but were outclassed
by the local five. The splendid team
work, combined with the old fighting
spirit, snatched victory from the
Charleston five.
At the end of the first half, the score
stood IL to 10 in favor of Nezperce;
and at the end of the second half, %
to 10 in our favor. During the entire
game the score remained close, and not
once did the interest lag. Harmon, of
Charleston, acted as referee, and proved
to be not only fast and efficient, but
fair in all of his decisions.
The support of the townspeople was
greatly increased over that of the last
game, and those who came, went away
full of enthusiasm over the exhibition
of basket ball which they had witness
sed. Don Il let this end your interest.
Just remember that next Saturday our
boys meet Culdesac High on the local
floor. Though the last game was a.
winner, this promises to be better.
Remember the date, and be sure to
come out. The boys can win the per-
nant this year if you will only show
the interest which they know you must
feel.

The visocchi Trio, Feb. 2.

On this evening, the Visocchie Flor
entine Musicians will bring real treat
to the people of Nezperce. This is the
fourth and last number on the Lyceum
course this year. Andrew Visocchi is
known as one of the greatest masters
of the concert accordion, his instrument
being one Of the oldest in the world
In his hands, it becomes symphony
orchestra or a military band; then the
breeze whispers thru the forest or far
away solo voice falls on the air. The
variety of effect which he is able to
achieve defies description.
The other members of the Trio are
Miss Marie Henry, violinist, and Miss
Marion Campbell, vocalist and pianist.
The latter has won honors in extended
concert tours.
Come to the auditorium tonight and
hear these three great artists. You
will enjoy the evening, and you will
help the business men who have been
kind enough to stand back of the Ly-
ceum this winter.

sHoEMAKER's MERCANTILE co.
New Corporation Acquires Nezperce
Trading co.-Bigger and
Better Store.

On Monday the stock and fixtures
of the Nezperce Trading Co., one of
the prairie 3 leading general merchan-
disc stores located at this place, which
went into the hands of receiver a
few weeks after the closing of the Un-
ion State Bank as the result of irregu
larities by Ernst Wienss, were bought
by corporation to be known as Shoe
maker g Mercantile Company, of which
th@ stockholders are S. l.. Shoemaker,
Alvin Caldwell and Miss Elizabeth ia
cobs. The purchase was made from J..
G. Meikle, the assignee, representing
the creditors of the old institution.
Mr.. Shoemaker, who holds the ma
jority of the stock and who as head of
the old concern has given this commun-
ity one of the most up-to-date stores
boasted by any country town, and who
was in no way responsible for the
crash in which he was entangled, prom
ises careful adherence to the best
methods of modern merchandising, and
associated with him now as sharehold-
ers are two people who have long been
with the store as employees
and have proven their worth and value
to this institution and the community
by efficient, honorable service.
New stocks of merchandise have
been ordered and plans are being made
to render every possible assistance in
bringing Nezperce up to the high
standard she merits as a trade center.

The party of fishermen under Capt
Chancey Wallace, who last Thursday
went by bob sled to the Middle Fork
section to try their luck, returned yes
terday with a good fund of stories
about the big fish others had caught
just before the Nezpercers arrived on
the scene. The boys went as high up
on the river as Pete Kink Creek and
encountered 30-inch snow and 17-below
temperature, and while fishing was
poor, they enjoyed the trip very much
and had no difficulty keeping warm
as they were clothed for the climate
and made their headquarters in cabin
which boasted two stoves and ample
cooking utensils. On reaching Kooskia
on their way in they encountered a
party just out with a supply Of 18-inca
trout sufficient to feed a small regi-
ment. These had been taken at points
along the river not frozen over.

successful, even though some one be
came too enthusiastic and rang the
bell before the fire was started. Evi

have the desired effect, someone rang
the fire bell. This was mistake, how.
ever, and will not be repeated. Mr.
Rantz, when consulted regarding the
ringing of the bell, strictly forbade it,
but someone else gave consent and il
was rung. We do not wish that Mr.

make our school bell sound as nearly
like the fire bell as possible.

MELON DISEASES
ILLUSTRATED in
TALK AND SLIDES
County Agents Hear DR.. Hanson
and DR.. Meir In Lecture On
Plant Diseases

Stereopticon views are playing an
important part in the study of plant
life or for illustrative purposes, as
was ably shown at the night session
of the south and east Florida agri-
Agents Friday night at the Mems
Bible Glass room of the First Metho-
dist church.
DR.. c. H. Hanson, specialist in Wis,
ual instruction, cast upon the screen
contrasting views, pointing out the
more useful and more pleasing pic
lures for demonstrative purposes,
calling special attention as to the
light, angles, and distance of the
portance oof background, and of how
to bring out the particular part of
the picture wanted.
Following this interesting part of
the program, DR.. F c. Meir called
attention to the carious uses of the
lucious watermelon and of the neces-
sity Of preventing the various dis
eases of decay which cause a great
loss to those engaged in the melon
business, both from the standpoint
of producing and of shipping.
BY use of the screen, pictures were
shown of just how the two most de-
structive diseases spread-stem-end
rot and anthracnose scale. The germ
may be found in decayed weeds upon
or near the field, or can be carried
on the hands. knife, or feet, or may
be in the barnyard fertilizer. 1t is
found that seed treatment will eradi-
cate a large per centage of the
germs, but without particular treat
ment and sensible, regular and quick
spraying the disease spreads rapidly
after the plant is above ground.
These discussions are proving most
helpful and will continue through the
day, closing this afternoon.
