stapietOns In Auto Accident.

Mrs. Sanford Stapleton is suffering
from severe bruises received when the
car in which she and Mr.. Stapleton
were travelling, to Lewiston last Tues
day ran off the Winchester hill high
way. The Stapletons were on their
way down to get some apples in the
Lewiston Orchards, when on rounding
a curve in the road they were con
fronted by a large car driven by A.
Hendershot, representative of the
Holt Machinery Co., coming up on
their side of the road at high speed.
To escape a collision, Mr.. Stapleton
sweryed his car to the opposite side
and the loose gravel caused it TO go
over the bank and turn over. He was
shaken up some and Mrs. Stapleton
was bruised about the body. Hender-
shot came to their assistance and help
ed them get their car back on the road,
and they continued their journey.

VIM. J. Cox, horticultural inspector
returned to Lewiston Saturday after
noon from trip Of two days to Nez
perez, Craigmont and Winchester
where he went to instruct potato grow
ers in grading potatoes.
It appears that the farmers in those

acres of potatoes on summer fallow
land. They viii begin shipping next
Wednesday and expect to have from
90 to rs cars for commercial use ano
from Is to 20 cars for seed, some cer-

Starts Campaign for Better Child
Health.

Mrs. Katherine R. Athey, executive
secretary of the Idaho Anti-Tubercu-
losis Association, visited zyezperce
Monday and Tuesday of this week.
Mrs. Athey is director of the cam
paign against tuberculosis in Idaho
and is particularly interested in the
health work in the schools. She visit
ed the public schools and talked to all
the students on the health crusade
which is the health habit program of
the Anti-tuberculosis Association. In
the afternoon she talked to the pupils
at the st. Anthony parochial school,
Mrs. Athey outlined the health pro-
gram which might be carried on in
the county with Miss Lillia Harbke,
the comfy superintendent. The Anti
tuberculosis Association will send u
public health nurse into the county in
the spring: Mrs. Athey also wants to
help supply scales for the schools so
that all the children may have the in
centive of regular weighing to stimu
late the desire to live fright.
In her talk to the students in the
schools, Mrs. Athey compared their
bodies to the automobile engine. She
reminded them that one cannot buy
new parts for the body as you can for
the automobile; that healthy body is
the greatest gift from the Creator and
that the realization of all success in
life depends to great extent upon
bodily health. She compared the gas,
oil and water, which the automobile
must have, to the fresh air, proper
food, and water which the body must
have and stressed particularly the
hours of rest necessary to keep the
body's engine hitting on all six cyl
inders.
Mrs. Athey met with q committee
to outline the sale of the Christmas
seals through which all of the work
of the Tuberculosis Association
is financed. Miss Hsrbke, Mrs. Cur
tbs Miller, Mr.. Rantz and Miss Roxie
Roe will be in charge of the campaign
in Nezperce. They are most anxious
to sell enough Christmas seals so that
the nurse can remain long enough in
the county to visit all the schools.
Mrs. Athey will return on Thursday
evening from Grangeville to address
the Parent.T Teacher association ON the
request of MIR. Rantz.

High school News.

A high class entertainment win b
given here, Thursday evening, Nov
omber 5, when Thomas Elmer Luces
will delight US with his songs. read,
ings, and impersonations.
Mr. Lucey is one of the very prom
incnt men of today. He is circuu..
navigating the globe, giving his var
lous approximations and stories. His
versatility is cause of wonderment,
and his quick and complete character
changes are exceeding clever. In his
impersonation Of Bill Nye, Cardinal
Woisey and Edgar Allen Poe, he GER
tainly is in the front rank. Everyone
expresses wonder at the skill shown
when Mr.. Lucey, after impersonating
the tall, lean, cadaverous-looking Lin
coin, with a few touches made in view
of the audience, seems to take inches
from his stature, and appears as the
dapper, sallow-skinned Poe. No actor
on any stage could recite "The Ra
ven" with more dramatic power or
finer finish.
Mr.. Lncey has very fine voice and
will sing number of songs. These
he illustrates with erayon as he sings.
Don t forget to come and hear Mr.
Lucey at the High School auditorium,
Thursday, November 8, at s:15 sharp.

Last Sunday, while Lewis Clark wa

Last Sunday, while Lewis Clark was
returning to town in wagon from the
ranch he is running in this vicinity
his l3-year-old son, who had been play
inc at lasso with conrad in the rear
end of the wagon threw the loop
around Mr.. Clark's neck. The other
end of the rope slipped from his hand
and caught in the rear wheel of the
wagon and as it wound around the hub
Mr.. Clark was jerked from his seat
and the reins we're pulled from his
hands. He succeeded in loosening the
loop sufficiently to darw it up across
his chin just as his head was drawn
down against the edge of the wagon
rack, and the rope broke. Had 1T been
a regular lariat or larger rope, the
result would have been far more ser
ious than bruise across his mouth
ard chin. The roping habit has been
rather prevalent among our youth
since the recent fair and rodeo.

IS HORRIBLE
EXAMPLE
Released from Cleveland to
Serve as Lesson to
Money-Seekers.

Stuffy McInnis was uncondition-
ally released by Cleveland-to serve
as the horrible example in the case
Of baseball magnates vs.. hOIdout
athletes.
So many baseball singers con
nected with the idea this winter
that they should get more money
and threatened not to go to work
unless they got everything they
wanted-that the club owners sc.
cretly concocted a plan to teach the
players a lesson.
And Mc1nnis 10 the 'IessOa."
McInnis is one of the veterans of
the game. He hit bevond 800 last
season and his fielding was superb.
He Is ~-''ewhat beyond thirty, but
has at least several good years Of
baseball left in him. Everyone real
ICES that. And the players realize
it most Of all,
So when McInnis was dropped by
Cleveland because he demanded
more money than the Indian owners
were willing to pay, it was expected
that this action would have a SUBJ
DUNG effect upon the beligerent per-
formers.
Up to this moment none of the
players has been "tamedN-and
none of them has ceased being a
holdout simply because of the Nc
Innis incident. But the magnates
feel certain that the McInnis thing
will eventually cure some of the
DO r. of that peculiar ailment which
they have, which causes them to de.
mand salary increases.

Last nights affair put two wreSt-
ling issues to a supreme test. One
was whether ketonen's famous
Boston split a hold that is per-
haps the most furnishing yet de-
veloped in the mat game, is i'm
pregnable. The other is whether
weight and strength carries the
edge over mental and muscular
coordination and quick thinking
in the mat game. The nays have
it in both cases.
Turner beat the Boston split,
and Pinkey, Outweighed and not
nearly so strong as his husky OPP
ponent apparently, twice pinned.
the Pittsburgher.
1t was real nice evening al
together, and the boys acted as
if they were struggling on the
level.
The first fall of the main bout
went to Turner after 2915 minutes
of fast work. He used a double
bar to turn the trick.
Ketonen worked Turner into a
Boston split within five minutes
after the men came out of their
dressing rooms again, but Joseph
wriggled out. Again the Rutland
farmer got the Washington man in
his deadly grip. but once more Joe
proved the fallacy of the Boston
split. Both times IT was at the ex-
pense of much pain, and in neither
case did the vermonter have exactly
the grip he was seeking. In 39iS
minutes he managed to pin Turner'S
shoulders.
The third fall went to Turner in
Is minutes.
Lying in the Boston split again,
with the sweat Of pain rolling
from his back, Turner shook his
head when KetOnen asked him to
surrender and end his agony.
Turner slowly forced his way out.
and instantly seized the champion in
a toe and scissors, that won him
the championship.
: Pinkie Gardner got two falls in
succession from Hughie Mcdonald.
Fred Huber refereed the matches.
