Leaf circle. Women of ,Woodcraft"
from Pocatello visited. the Grove
City circle of this place Monday
night; after the regular business.
Guardian Neighbor, Mrs. Ash of Poe
atello called on Neighbor Bushley
for speech, in which he said many
good things about the circle and the
neighborly way the two orders had
treated each other, after which he an
nounced they had little offering to
make in token Of their very best re-
CARDS for our circle. Then Mrs Ash
revealed a beautiful candle holder for
the altar. 1t was indeed surprise
to all and made every woman In the
hall very happy. Other little memen-
toes in the shape or pretty silver
thimbles were presented to Mrs. De
kay, Mrs. Dipple, Mrs. Jones in re-
memberance of their hospitality to
the Palm Leaf Circle.
Mrs. DeKay, Guardian Neighbor
of Grove City Circle made speech in
which she thanked them very much
for their kindness and lit the candle
showing how the light of friendship
should ever burn between the two
circles.
Then we all marched to the dining
room where nice supper of hot bis
cults and chicken etc awaited us.
After supper the Pocatello team
put on their floor work and a mock
initiation was carried out and a good
time in general was had, until train
time. Neighbor Ash of Pocatello in
vited all the members of the Grove
City Circle to her home in Pocatello
to watch the old year out and the
new year in on the last of this month.
The ladies of Grove City Circle al
so of Palm Leaf Circle regret very
much that Neighbor Essie M. Smith
was taken suddenly i'll at lodge Mon
day night and had to be taken home.
DR. Patrie was called and she was
much better before she left. She is
one of our most earnest workers
and had the sympathy Of all our
Neighbors.

A Trip That Will be Remembered

A gentleman and his wife were
travelling for their health and pleas
ure In an automobile tour from the
Puget Sound to Chattanooga, Tenn.
They were firm believersin the doc
tune, "See America First They
made inquiries at BIackfoot Idaho.
as to the best roads to the East and
were informed by local autobilists
that 1t would be impossible to travel
over the old Fort Hall road, on &C
count of the heavy sand. However
having faith in their 60 horse power
machine and wishing to see the re-
mains of historic Fort Hall, they con-
cluded to take that route. They made
fair progress until the heavy sand
was encountered, when, adding more
power to the machine, the wheels on
ly buzzed and dug a hole into the
sand.
After many vain attempts to start
the auto, crowd of .Bannock and
Shoshone braves volunteered to pull
the machine with lasso ropes tied
to the pommels of their saddles. Amid
many shouts and hurrahs some
twelve braves on their COW ponies
pulled the immense machine till be-
yond the sand, and were made happy
by receiving $1,000 gold piece.
