REGULAR DRILL IN GYM

Having won from Oxford, Ra-
leigh, and Henderson, and tied
Leaksville, the girls basketball
team of the Chapel Hill school
seems in a fair way to come out
first in Middle North Carolina,
and is thought to have a good
chance for the championship of
the entire state. The matches
to determine the sectional win
ners take place early in March,
and after that the sections
Northern, Middle and Southern
will contest with one another.
Chapel Hill won from Raleigh
80 to "a last week, in Raleigh,
and may meet the team from the
capital here in few days. The
girls will make a trip to Oxfoll
atort February Is, ano Hills

The Chapel Hill team is made
up as follows:
Guards: Mildred Walker cap
ta.n). Myrtle Suggs, Halle An
drews, Frances Neville, Mil
dred Gates.
Forwards: Estelle Lawson.
Betty Winston, Lucille Hogan,
Betsy Woollen.

a week in the University gym
nasium, from half past six to
half past seven o'clock in the
eVen,Hg. Miss Atkins, who made
a me record as a p'ayo, in T. +
own school days, is acting as

on the job with his aid and en-
couragement.
The match with Raleigh last
week was a lively exhibition
from start to finish. Miss Law

Chapel Hill Chaf

Lee Bradshaw, who lived in
Carrboro until recently, writes
to the Weekly from Mingo juno
tion, Ohio. He says he pines
for news from home-Chapel
Hill and Carrboro-and directs
that the paper be sent to him
post haste. There is something
about the name, Mingo, that
stirs my curiosity and hope
Lee will write and tell us what
sort of a place it is.

Like most men, l am always
at a loss how to greet young
babies when l meet them upon
the street. But the latest Hib-
bard, Jean by name, SO aston
ished me a day or two ago by
grinning at me and displaying
four teeth that / lost all my en-
barrassment. l did not know
that babies sprouted so many
teeth at the age of seven
months.
Ever since w. E. Atkins, Of
the school of commerce faculty,
came to Chapel Hill last fall he
has steadfastly refused to con-
tract the habit of going on trips
to Durham. The Browns, the
KILLERS and other friends out in
the southwest part of town tried
to lure him to the city, but
he scorned all their advances.
The other day he shocked them
all by announcing that he was
off to Durham. They wondered
what had wrought the conver-
sion-and presently it came out.
He was in search of a copy of
the magazine "The Dream
World" containing a story by
his sister, &ld he couldn't find
one this side of Durham. He
did find it there, and felt re-
warded for the journey.
1t was a happy idea of the
A. T. O. fraternity to give a re-
cepti0n to the faculty the other
afternoon. This recalls the
days when students used to
make Sunday afternoon and
evening calls at the homes of
the facu1ty-a custom that
seems to have fallen by the way
side. The A. r. O.'s had their
living room tastefully decorated
for the reception. Mrs. Pratt
poured tea and Mrs. Mcintosh
poured coffee. 1t was an enjoy
able affair.

The Colored Nurse
Is Doing Valuable Work Among Her
People

The colored nurse engaged by
the health department of the
Community Club has been at
work about a month. She is
visiting the homes of the color
ed people, helping them when
they are ill, and carrying on a
campaign to improve sanitary
conditions in general.
Nurse Compton comes to us
from Lincoln Hospital, where
she was assistant to the head
nurse" says Mrs. Carter OF the
health department. ",She has
been mostly occupied, siace she
came January l, in making a
survey of the homes. She has
made more than 200 visits. Nine
cases of measles and whooping
cough, where no physician had
been called, were found by her,
and she has under observation
two or three cases in which tu-
berculosis is suspected.
"At the colored schools she
is giving short health talks, and
is planning to organize mod
ern health crusade. Children
have been examined by her for
bad teeth, adenoids, and tonsils,
and she has carried a club
footed child to DR.. Brooks free
clinic in Durham.
"She is preparing a cleanup
campaign, to cover the outside
as well as the inside premises.
Her plan is to organize the pe0-
pie into committees to sell clean
up tickets at 5 cents each; this
is to create a small fund for
buying lime and other necessar-
les. This cleanup enterprise is
not just a temporary effort but
is to be permanent.
Nurse Compton has had
many of the people of her race
tell her that they did not like
the name, Potter's Field, for the
section where they live out
on the north of town. They
would like it. to be called New
Town. 1t appears that a long
time ago when students used to
hunt partridges there, it was
called Partridge Field, and then
later became Potter's Field. We
think the colored people ought
to be helped to eliminate this
gruesome name that is 50 dis
tasteful to them.
"The nurse reports that she
has met with the greatest cour-
tesy and cooperation among her
people, and that the leaders Of
her race are solidly behind her
in what she is trying to do. She
has a room with Mittie
Kirkland and can be reached by
telephone, and also an office next
door which she hopes to fix up
so as have a place for patients
to come. We should like to ask
every one who has old sheets,
pillow cases, or blankets, or
clean soft cloths that could be
used for bandages, to call me
on the telephone, number $50.
Furniture is also needed for the

Gets
BETTER MARCH
REPORT SHOWS
Farm and Livestock In
dustries Looking Up,
Says Bank Summary;
Relief Sure

Optimism marks both the agricul-
tural and the livestock industry in this
territory, according to the monthly
summory OF local business conditions
as seen by the Caldwell Commercial
bank.
Commenting on general business
conditions, the statement points out;
Fair to good markets for many OF
the products of the farm is stumulat-
ing business to some extent. Farmers
and livestock men have reason 10 be
feeling somewhat more optimistic as
to the future, as there are several fac
tors that hold prospects for better
conditions. Farmers on the govern
ment project are reasonably certain OF
some relief from the Government,
while Gem Irrigation district farmers
have already assurances sufficient, for
at least another year. for considerable
relief.
March to date has not been as
mild or pleasant as February. There
has been considerable wind and sew
eral frosty nights and chilly days. The
ground has been too cold, also rather
dry, for the range grasses and mead
ows to make much growth. The storm
on the 23rd of rain. sleet and snow
brought considerable moisture and
was of much benefit. Sheep have
quite generally been turned on the
low ranges. Considerable seeding OF
grains has been completed.
"Stockmen quite generally have had
to buy additional hay TO feed out the
season. The carry over Of hay in
some sections is quite large, while in
other localities only sufficient remains
for use on the farm until the new
crop. The prevailing price is $500 per
ton.
Seeding has added some to the
price of grains of good quality, but
the market for commercial uses re-
mains the same as for some time past.
1t is estimated that grains that re-
main in the hands of the producers
will practically all be needed for the
local feeding demand.
Potato Active
Buyers are active in the purchas-
ing of potatoes, paying about 9Oc cwt.
for Rurals and Sl.40 to Sl.50 per cwt
for Gems. 1t is estimated that plant
ings vii leb about the same or little
more than last year. One shipper OF
seed has already received and distrib-
uted l8 car loads.
There is a good active demand Tor
all classes OF cattle at advancing
prices. Prices are now considerable
higher than for some years past.
Prices remain steady on hogs and
shipments are somewhat greater than
of year ago. There will be a SUBJ

All property owners and parents
and guardians of children attend

to vote at this election provided
they Comply with general election
laws.
The election is called under a
statute passed by the last legisla-
lature which compels taxpayers
approval before the general school
levy can be made more than eight
mills.
AuthorizirE the school board to
levy seven mills addit 'onal tax
will be precisely the same.
Other Idaho cities, includ' ng
Idaho Falls, We;ser and Nampa,
voted the seven mill levy by over
whelm;ng majorities.
Failure to vote the seven mills
asked by the school board means
closing the Caldwell high school.
1t means that every student in
Caldwell schools will be compelled
to buy individual books at much
greater cash outlay than the cost
to TIE district under the present
plan.
Caldwell high school age boys
and ,yirls VIII obtain high school
training. If they can't get it in

elsewhere. Carefully checked fig
ures indicate that the cost to the

FULL
Of ACTIVITIES
FOR STUDENTS
College of Idaho Spring
Opens at American;
Baseball Outlook is
Good

This spring will see the student
body OF the College OF Idaho buster
than ever before. The first immediate
thing to take place will be a repre-
sentation OF "Only SO" which was
given some three weeks ago by the
Senior class. This time it will be
given at the American theatre on
Wednesday night, April 2.
Then there is baseball and track
with a promising outlook Special
interest is being taken in baseball as
result OF prospective trip to Po-
catello and Rexburg. Four games
will be played with each school; two
on the home field and two on the
trip. The only obstacle will be the
question of getting finances. If a
reasonable crowd can be depended or
to turn out for the games the schedule
will be arranged. According to Anse
Cornell the prospects for team
could not be better.
Aside from athletics and the senior
class play great plans arc being laid
for Founders Day. AT the last STU
dent body election Kenneth Cohen
was elected Founders Day manager
and committees have already been ap-
pointed 10 take charge OF the various
parts of the program. The southern
Idaho interscholastic track meet is
assured for the afternoon part OF the
program. This event in itself is ex-
pected to draw several hundreds OF
people to Caldwell.
And then not many days after
Founders Day the senior class will
be seen marching down Cleveland
boulevard to receive their diplomas
and then bid the College OF Idaho
goodbye. But at present this event
is lar from their minds. What they
are Interested in now is putting on
"Only 3S" at the American theatre
next Wednesday night.

POTATOFUTURE
THOT BRIGHT
FOR THIS YEAR
Indications Point to Fair
and Steady Market,
Dopesters Figure
Prices Soar Rapidly

Potato farming in Canyon county
Is now generally recognized as some
thing OF a gamble but crop dopsiers
are inclined to predict good prices Tor
spud growers this season.
uuprecented drou,h and consequent
reduction OF the early California
acreage together with the present
bouyant potato market and the heavy
daily unloading OF last years crop
are factors in this forecast.
Prices for potatoes in the past
month have increased about 90 per
cent. Idaho Falls quotation for Mon
day was Sl.l5 for Idaho Rurals.
March /, the price had apparently
stabilized at 7. cents.
Increases in potato prices recently
have stimulated activity among po-
,ato buyers and considerable quanti-
ties of last falls holdover supply is
now moving to market. During the
entire time OF this increase in spud
prices. the daily shipments in the
United States have averaged about
80 cars. n will be remembered that
two summers ago. daily shipments OF
700 cars proved enough to glut the
market and break the price TO the
point where producers took heavy
losses.
1t is confidently predicted that It
the market continues its present bouy-
ant trend and the consumption OF the
old crop is maintained. the old po-
ialo crop will be exhausted before
young stuff comes on. This will
clarity the market situation for earliest
potatoes usually from Texas. which
reach markets from this years crop.
Following the Texas crop, that
state becomes almost Immediately a
large potato consuming state and one
OF Idaho's major markets. 1t is this
fac, which leads to predictions OF good
prices this season for Idaho grown
tubers California follows Texas, gen.
orally supplies that market and later
enters into competition with Idaho
stuff in that field.
But drouth due to lack OF rainfall
in the planting districts and OF snow
fall in the mountains has cut deeply
into California acreage. That there
is no possibility OF a change now is
cited from the fact that March IS is
the latest California planting time.
Potatoes planted later than March Il
are subject to innumerable insect pests,
j, is said.
