A four-year-old cow with a record of 16,372.08 pounds of milk in less than a year is claimed by Thomas S. Griffith, owner of the Glen Tana farm on the Little Spokane river. The animal bears the euphonious name of Eminent J imps Owl. She was started on a test May 14, 1917, and up to May 11, 1918, had made the remarkable record referred to. Her milk easily makes four and one quarter percent butter fat. Dairy men are speculating as to how long she will keep up this wonderful record. . That Weston is becomfng an im plement distributing center of no mean importance is indicated by the fact that Watts & Rogers are re ceiving no less than eight cars of farm machinery, one car of which was unloaded this week. The ship ments include six cars of McCor mick combined harvesters, one car of combine engines and one car of wagons and similar goods. The Leader will take occasion to say dot in ita nninion Wpstnn in fortu- ...U V 1 1 vw natd in possessing so enterprising a firm and one which keeps iif such close touch with the needs of this section. Fruitmen of the Walla Walla valley are impressed with the offer of Spokane school teachers to nee their vacations in helping to har vest the fruit crop. A committee of the Spokane teachers has made the proposition to the fruitmen, stating that they do not wish to solicit the work in competition with regular harvest hands, but wish to be considered available in case extra help is needed. The. teachers combine patriotic .sentiment with desire to spend vacation time in congenial employment. .The same offer has been made in several fruit district . Col. IUy E. Gardner, rvtired, of the United SuU Army wan in Weston this week while en route to his cabin home near KaliKpcll, Montana. The colonel travels with a pack train of two burros and is a picturesque reminder of the old frontier days. He was a captain f scouts under Custer and after many years of army life as re tired as colonel of engineers. He has four sons in the service, one of them being a major of marines. He is 77 years old. but with flowing yellow locks and beard he looks much younger. He is widely known by the sobriquet of Arizona Bill. Claud Key had a "narrow squeak" while driving the Sam Key tractor across a bridge on Basket mountain the other day. He was nearly across when the bridge col lapsed, standing the tractor on end. Had he gone two feet further the machine would have tipped over backward, pinning him beneath it. A soaking rain Tuesday night and Wednesday made assurance doubly sure of a bumper crop in the Weston country. Farmers are re joicingespecially in the Uplands. E." M. Smith and G. W. Stajrim were absent during the first of the week on a business trip by motor car into Klickitat county, Washing ton.

These figures tell a wondrous tale of self sacrifice and devotion, when one reflects upon the great work of the thousands of men and women who have carried the Red Cross into every corner of stricken Europe. Without question Weston will contribute its mite to this great cause, and contribute it cheerfully. Every potential donor has been listed, and will be asked to contrib ute in proportion to his means. The donors have been divided into classes, and all who are able to do so will be asked to give. The people are asked to make the work of the campaigners as easy as possible by responding promptly and cheerfully. These men are not only giving their mon ey to the Red Cross but their time as well. Virtually tl.ey are doing double duty. J. H. Price has general direction of the drive in the Weston district, which begins next Monday. His co-workers are: Precinct 15 L. I. O'Harra, chairman; Claud Price and George Winn, captains. Precinict 16 E. C. Rogers, chair man; Frank Price and S. A. Barnes, captains. Precinct 17 S. J. Culley, chair man; J. M. Banister and T. L. Mc Bride, captains. Weston Mountain Will Hall, chairman; W. L. Rayborn and C. W. Avery, captains. Reed and Hawley mountain W. L. Smock, chairman;. Alex McCor kell and L. C. Christenson, captains.

"A Case of Suspension." given last Fri day evening at the High School auditorium .attracted a large and appreciative audience. A pre lude of three numliers was given by the pupils of the grades-a flag drill by Miss RintouPs room, two folk game features by Mifs Tip ton's room, and an artistic human flower garden scene and songs by Miss Clark's and Mrs. Pinkerton's rooms. The stage represented a girl's room in a college and was kept in good order by "Kathleen." Miss Esther Williams, The Housekeep er. "Judkins." in the person of Mr. Eldon King, lent valuable as sistance to the girls "Dorothy," Miss Ruth Proebstcl. "Mildred." Miss Dorothy Proebsttl, and "Al ice," Miss Minnie Johnson, in car rying out their plans of entertain ing the boys. The plan was discov ered by the Professor, whose part was exceptionally well carried out by Mr. George Blomgren. When he started to interrupt the party, the boy, -Tom." Mr. Kendall Smith. "Harold." Mr. Neil Graham, and "Jack." Mr. Otis Gould, forced him to join in. In the midst of the merriment. "The Lady of the Seminary," Miss Cora Bcamer, walked in. Although caught in a peculiar place the Professor ex plained things to everybody's satis faction. Judkins and the maid were called in and a grand spread was set. A spirit of fun and excitement prevailed throughout the comedy. For an amateur performance the play is worthy of praise, each part being skillfully and easily handled by the young players. Miss Sim mons and Mrs. Fitzpatrick were directors. The conclusion of the evening's entertainment was a chorus by the High School students, with an or chestra acompaniment under the direction of Mr. Fitzpatrick. "The Long, Long Trail" and "Star Span gled Banner" were sung. Worth Watts impersonated Uncle Sam car rying a well filled basket of food. An epidemic of measles has greatly reduced the attendance of the rooms. Mrs. Pinkerton reports one case, Miss Tipton reports four cases, and Miss Rintoul reports sev enteen during the past week. William Wriggle has not fully recovered from his recent injuries. It is feared he will be unable to at tend school the rest of the year. The eighth grade has been pre paring for the state examinations which are to be given Thursday and Friday of this week. The English second class shows .excellent prospects of developing some future poets. Each member of the class has recently submitted an original poem of two stanzas en titled "Spring is Here." Certificates of attendance are to be granted all grade pupils who have for the year a perfect at tendance record. Those who will receive certificates from Miss Tip ton's room are Frances Davis, Ber nice Fetter, Richard DeMoss, Har old Magnusen, Maxine Culley and Katherine Lieuallcn. mHV 6-A t x x X X X y Y X X X X Y Y X Y f Y X X X Y Y X X Y Y X X X Y Y Y Y y y X X X Y Y Y Y Y Y f X Y X Y Y X y X X Y i.
