THE GUN CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS First Shooting of the Year Was Done Sunday Afternoon— Good Scores Made First trap shooting. tournament of the Cottonwood Rod and Gun Club was held Sunday afternoon at their traps located in the Sim- ons field northwest of the pack- inghouse. About twenty shooters were present to indulge in the Sport, including Frank Titus and on Fisher of Grangeville. When the great war broke out the Cot- tonwood club ceased its shooting tournments but since the war has come to a close the club has been ‘reorganized and expects to have} some very interesting matches after the shooters get in tip-top shape. Ata meeting held by members of the club Tuesday evening the| Under the daylight saving law all clocks in the United States will have to. be turned forward Sunday, March 30, at 2 in the morning. Soin order that you may not forget to get up in time to attend your regular Sunday morning services, or you wish to take the train the following morning for some outside point you had better turn your clock ahead before retiring on Satur- day evening, as all trains will run onthe new schedules Sunday morning. A movement to repeal this new daylight saving law was started in the last session of congress and through the enormous amount of business confronting the national legislators, —the measure never came up for fina] settlement. The working class throughout the country seem to be more than satisfied with the new system and a very strong protest was sent to congress when they tried to ap- peal the law.

Sheep Must Be Inspected Dr. McKeen Boyce, deputy state veterinarian received an or-| der from the state veterinarian at Boise stating that under gen- eral inspectson order No. 1 all sheepmen will have to have their flocks inspected before being re- moved from their winter range to summer range. This measure is taken by the livestock sanitary | | board as a precautionary one. The| following is the contents of order No.1, which was received by Dr. Boyce from the state department this week: | “General inspection order No.) Under authority of the Live-| stock Sanitary board in session January 22d, 1919, it is hereby! ordered that a general inspection of all sheep within the state be instituted before being moved from winter feed grounds to sum- mer range or forest reserves. “Dr. J.

Many farmers were present from various sec- tions around Cottonwood. Among some of the important matters taken up by the club were the appointment of a: County Agent and the club passed a reso- lution’ unanimously endorsing the movement and asking the county commissioners of Idaho county to make an appropriation people will attend the celebra- tion in large numbers is already a} decided fact. | Edgar Fry, of Ferdinand, pres- ident of the Farm Bureau, ex: | plained the working operations of | acounty agent and the many | difficult problems that were ex-| pected to be taken up by that| organization if they were given an agent. | A.

The club also asked a vote from its members as to their present feeling toward a. fair to be held this fall and according to the vote recorded on this matter it seems that a fair of some na- ture will be held in Cottonwood this year as the votes of the members present seems to ex- press the sentiment of the peo- ple as a whole. Another matter that was brought to the attention of the club by Chairman Robertson was the defraying of the expenses of |recording soldier’s discharges. This matter also received the | hearty approval of the club.

Pie Social Draws Large Crowd The pie social given in the high school building on the evening of March 26, 1919, for the benefit. of the Boy Scouts, was pronounced a pleasing success, There were nearly one-hundred present, and| many more, having planned to be present, were: detained .by other interests. A short-snappy, yet valued program proceeded, the selling of the pies. Every pie and all the ice cream was quickly sold, | netting $41.00.

The implement and motor vehicle exeibition held Saturday and Monday of last week at the Hoene Hardware was largely at- tended and successful. There, were many favorable comments on the splendid displays of the various lines. The interesting and instruc- tive addresses delivered by Mr. George Steele and Mr. K. E. Smith of Portland were enjoyed by the crowd. That they were able demonstrators goes without saying. All those in attendance will surely profit thereby. Clothes brushes were distribut- ed assouvenirs among the men while the ladies were given broom holders. All the young folks and children calling at the store re- ceived a bag of popeorn, which they ate with mush relish. This was the first affair of its kind held on the prairie-and much.credit is due the firm for. their enterprise and progress. It is likely that the results will. justi- fy a repetition of the event. ——_o-——_- Special Car From Lewiston A special car attached to the regular passenger train passed througk Cottonwood Thursday evening enroute to Grangeville where members of the Lewiston Commercial Club will take in the first or opening night at the ’49 show being staged in that city by members of the Cowboy band.
