‘VOLUME 30. NO. 9 COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, FE BRUARY 24, “1922 LEGION BOYS MAKE BIG HIT |names were GRANGEVILLE BOYS STAGE PLAY HERE BEFORE | LARGE AUDIENCE. | | A packed house greeted Grangeville Post No. 37 of the American Legion, at the Or- pheum theatre, Tuesday evening when they presented under the auspices of Cottonwood Post No. 40, a musical farce comedy, en- titled, “Sitten’ Pretty.” The two principal characters of the evening, Jack Edwards and Leon Cone kept the house in a continual uproar. Leon Cone. impersonating Countess de Mon- tozon, had the audience guessing, throughout the entire evening’s entertainment and many folks in| Cottonwood were overworking | their brains to identify the wo- man. do not wish to make public re- marked, “It must be Miss Mc- Grath taking the part of the countess,” to which he received the prompt reply: “She is -not| that large.” After which he) again named over several other} women residing in Grangeville} whom he thought fitted with the} features of the countess. Other members of the cast al- so played their parts to perfec- tion and we can, we believe, honestly say enjoyed the play immensely. From a standpoint of attend- ance, it could have been no bet- ter for the hall was comfortably crowded, the receipts running near the $100 mark. The legion boys from Grange- ville have asked us to extend! their sincerest of thanks to the people of Cottonwood for the splendid turn out. They also wish to especially thank the local post for their assistance, which they realize had much to do with the success of their play. In the words. of our friend, | John Nash: “It sure is awful these days when a man can’t tell a woman from a man.” Mr. Nash was not fully convinced until the wig was taken from the head of | the countess and then it was| hard for him to believe that the) part was played by a man, Leon} Cone, an oversea veteran. | NEW COUNTY AGENT. Carl M. Grayson, county agri- cultural agent, recently appoint- | ed, arrived in Idaho county last! Saturday. He will have an of-} fice down town , in Grangeville, | next to the Sweet and Hamill market. The office has previ-| ously been at the court house but it was felt that an office) down town would be more ad-| vantageous to the farmers. | Mr. Grayson will hold the of-| fice for three months, on trial, the expenses of which will be} paid out of the appropriation still remaining under the old| Pavey administration. Should} the new agent prove satisfactory | it is said, the county commis-} sioners no doubt will make another appropriation. NAMES JOHNSTON. The name of Charles A. Johns- ton was sent to the senate last | Friday by President Harding to} be confirmed for the position of postmaster in Cottonwood. There | is no question but what the sen-| ate will confirm the appointment | and it is thought that Mr. Johns- | ton will take up his new duties | within the next thirty days. Mr. Johnston is at the present time | visiting with relatives in Wiscon- | sin, having been called there by | the serious illness of his mother. It was his good fortune to arrive home in time to see his mother alive. Mr. Johnston’s mother is in a critical condition. APRONS A} AND OVERALLS.

The winners will go to Moscow in March to com- pete for state honors. . The teams to compete in the tournament are: Grangeville, Nezperce, Kooskia, Lapwoi, Lew- iston, Gifford and Cottonwood. Each of these teams has made a good record during the season | and are invited to participate on the basis of the number of games won and lost. Cottonwocd hed been invited to take part in the games but a | protest was entered by Kamiah stating that they were entitled to the place, giving as their | grounds that they had won more games than Cottonwood. In order to satisfy the contention of Kamiah a game was ordered | played between Kamiah and Cot- tonwood on a neutral floor, by officials of the organization, | Wednesday evening. Grangeville | was selected as the place for the | contest, with the condition that the winning team would be eligi- ble to enter the contest at Lewis- ton. Kamiah proved an easy victim for Cottonwood, the local boys having defeated the — t is hoped that Cottonwood will make as good a showing at the tournament in Lewiston as they did against the Kamiah boys. | return ~Sunday evening.

The in- novation will prove very helpful to persons checking valuable baggage. A charge of 10 cents per hundred over $100 will be made on valuation. This new rule has been in vogue inthe ‘east for several, years and passengers having baggage to check have been eager to take advantage of this, broad concession. | Tally cards for sale at this, office. ied, tables, 11 in all, for |which dancing was indulged in. | was danced SERIES OF SOCIAL EVENTS SCATTER DULL CARE AND SCORE BIG HIT IN THIS SECTION During the past week things | have been very much alive in' this section, socially speaking, | and most of us have greeted the | wee sma’ hours with a regularity that has became almost a cus- | tom, 19th Wedding ‘tainbeaners. | Some 60 friends and neighbors | gathered at the home of Mr. and} Mrs. August Kopezynski, Wed- nesday evening, to assist them in celebrating their 19th wed- ding anniversary.
