M.} Willenborg and his son, A. J.,| closed a deal with J. A. Schultz, of Lapwai, whereby they become, the owners of 633 acres of fine land located 8 miles north of Greencreek, paying for the same $68,000. The deal is one of the largest to be transacted here for some time and was made by Felix Martzen, Cottonwood’s hustling real estate agent. A deal of this large magni- tude, coming at the time of the} year when financial conditions| are none too good and when!) fermers are more or less dis-| heartened, due to the present) market and conditions in gener- al, c'early demonstrates that the Willenborgs have the utmost) ¢ nfid:nce in this section, which | they regard as one of the best in! the entire northwest. Before their purchase Friday, the Will-| enborgs owned 820 acres, which| they have farmed for some years | and they are by no means at a loss in knowing what the land; will produce. Besides being) among the best farmers in Idaho} county they are also hard work-| ers which has been two of the chief factors in placing them at the head of the list among our successful farmers from a finan- cia) standpoint.

The Fifth Annual Roll Call he American Red Cross will be held fronr November 11th, Arm- stice Day to Thanksgiving Day. The Lewiston Chapter of the American Red Cross which em- braces the ccunties of Idaho, Lewis and Nez Perce, has a high rating among the Chapters of the Northwest and has received National reesgnition for its Home Scrvice activities. In ad- dition to this, the Chapter has developed public health work to a very high degree and, cooper- ating with the counties, now maintains a public health nurse’ u {at St. Anthony. in each of the counties. Another activity in which the chapter has accomplished much is that of civilian relief. Accord- ing to the Secretary’s report, 328 cases were handled during the past year, involving an ex- penditure of $2425.97 for actual relief of families and individuals and expenses of administration. It is interesting to note that during the past year, in the three counties, over four thous- end children were examined for vhysical defects by the nurses. 230 schools were visited; 2101 visits were made to homes and 254 cases were handled, includ- ing surgical dressings, beside nursing and assistance rendered during operations. This remarkable record bears evidence of returns to the citi- zens from their investment of past years in our Red Cross work. A large part of the re- ceipt of the coming Red Cross Roll Call will be devoted to the continuation of this splendid service to our citizens, and it is imperative that the people of the. three counties support the or- ganization lovally, if the public health work, home service,, civil-| ian relief and other activities of | Voeal Solo . which he, | Juniors vs Sophomores and \finally between two highest teams. | The fol'owing program was given by the High School Ath- letic Club to-day: | Song Ae SRO .....By School.

School It is advisable for children to go home for a warm lunch at the noon hour where it may be done. This may be done generally by | pupils living in town, especially in fair weather. Parents are requested to state reasons why their children should bring lunch so that arrangements may be made to take care of them at the school building at lunch and play. Most children prefer to remain at school to play instead of going home for lunch, but it is well for parents to express their better judgment in the matter as concerns their own children. WHAT SHALL BE DONE? “What to do with our 9-year- old murderer, who shot his fath- er in cold blood is puzzling the citizens of Gooding these days,” remarked Prosecuting Attorney H. A. Padgham of Gooding in Boise recently. “Unlike the cose of Jimmy Whittaker, the 1l-yesr-old boy who murdered his mother sever- al years ago, the Gooding county boy appears to be perfectly nor- mal, after having been given every test that is known in such cases. The Whittaker boy, you may recall, was deficient ina number of the tests. Like the Whittaker boy, the Gooding child shows no remorse for his deed.” The boy, Mr. Padgham says, is now at the state industrial school He is orderly to Superintendent Vincent, and has already won nearly enough credits to grant him a_ parole under ordinary circumstances. The cese is set for October 31 and it is Mr. Padgham’s hope, he says, that arrangements may be made with the board of educa- tion whereby the boy may be permitted to remain at the state school until he has a full educa- tion, keeping the murder charge over him the entire time. BRIDE AGE UNCHANGED. Many things have changed in the last 10 years. Women’s skirts have become shorter the airplane has taken on multiple uses, men hear each other across the seas and liquor drinking has become a lost art, says the New York Sun. But one thing has remained steadfast during those 10 years, and that is the average age at which men and women are wed. An examination in the ar- chives of the marriage record room on the ages of 50 couples who promised to love, honor and obey in 1911 discloses that the men were 28 years old when they strayed from the straight and the Red Cross are to be continu-| narrow single path and the wo- ed | men were 24 years old.
