ING.

Fifty Fifty" the Kamiah Com
mercial Club play which was recently
presented and proved a great success
in that city, will be put on at the
Temple Theatre in Nezperee OIL Friday
night, May 4, under the auspices OF
the Legion Band.
The play is said to be stronger in
plot and cast than the one given here
bv the Kamiah folks about year ago,
and most of us remember how well
that presentation pleased the big audf
ience it drew. This play is under the
same direction--Wade Wilsoil--afid q
has most of the same cast, with more
talent added to the special features
We predict that when "Fifty-Hfty"
comes to Nezperce it win be given a
100 per cent reception. Watch for

INTERESTING WEATHER IN
FORMATION.
IN

During the past fourteen years the
government has had at Nezperee
carefully kept weather equipment, and
the record on precipitation and tenn
perature is interesting. Below are Civ
en- few figures on snow and rainfall
whose bearing on the crop outlook is
encouraging.
In l922-our shortest crop year.
the precipitation for January was Ito
inches; February, 80; March, l.so,
and April, l.56; or a total of 5,26 in
cehs for the first four months Of that
year.
In 1923, the January precipitation
was 1.99 inches; February, .6S; March,
1.50, and up to the 18th of this month
it was 2.6O; total of 6.77.
The ten year average precipitation
for the first four months is 7.36 in
ches So this year promises to strike
about the average.
The average precipitation for April
for the past ten years is 2.33, and we
are already 27 of an inch above that
with the month little over half gone.
With a reasonable amount of rain
fall during the next two months, there
is good reason to look for one of the
best grain crops the prairie has pro-
duced in recent years.

CARLISLE STILL GAME WARDEN.

George v Carlisle of Kamiah has
just received notice of his reappoinf-
ment as deputy game warden for Lew.
Is and portion of Idaho county. This
is good news to many in this district
who have been in touch with Mr.. Car
lisfe's work in this office during the
past two years. In the enforcement
of the law he has been compelled to
make it disagreeable for some few.
but even these respect him more for
his having done his duty; and he MAS
played no favoiites. He has looked
after the interests of all alike; and
our fishing and game conditions are
an much better shape than they had
been for long time before he took
up the work. Thousands and thou
sands of young trout have been placed
in our streams by him and the supply
has been further greatly augmented
by the prohibition of poachers during
the closed spawning season. Our bird
supply is also on the increase, and in
the open season hunters find it reason.
ably easy to take enough game to pay
them for their trip afield.
While strict in his Interpretation of
the game laws, Mr.. Carlise is equally
courteous and ready to assist any one
with information and otherwise in
their legitimate search for game and
fish. He is on the job all the time.

HAVE YOU ANY VICTORY NorEsq

The so-called "Victory Notes. are
the securities which were issued and
sold by the United States Government
for the fifth (last) Liberty loan cam
paign (spring of 1879, the same as
+" Liberty Bonds'' were provided for
the first, second, third and fourth
liverty loan campaigns.
Therefore "victory Notes" were to
the last liberty loan campaign what
Liberty Bonds were to the pre-
vions government finance campaigns
during the recent world war period;
in short, instead of being styled
hopds" in the fifth campaign they
were designated "notes.'
Perhaps the failure of many people
to understand this accounts for the
fact that some eighty million dollars
worth of the 4%Ee victory notes,
which were called by the treasury de-
patment for redemption on Decenl-
Der Is, 1922 are still outstanding, al
though they ceased bearing interest
after that date These particular
notes have the letters A, B, c, d, E
or f prefixed to their serial numbers.
The treasury department states that
in the aggregate owners of the called
victory notes are consequently losing
interest at the rate of about ten thou
sand dollars per day, amounting to
more than one million dollars since
the notes stopped bearing interest the
middle of last December.
The government accordingly urges
all present holders of these called VIC
tory notes to cash them without furth,
er delay by presentation through their
own banks, or direct to any federal
reserve bank and branch or to the
treasury department at Washington,
D. G
Millions of dollars also still await
all holders of the unpresented 1913
five dollar war savings stamps which
matured on January l, 1923, when
they likewise ceased bearing interest.
