The Mother and Her Girls.

"Do not be unduly disturbed, dear
mother, at the dawning of day al
most sure to come in your expert
fence with your girls" advises Mrs.
: Sangster in Woman's Home Com
panion for April. IF they have
strong characters, if they are able
to stand on their own feet, they will
reach station where the train they
take may lead them away from you.
Girls have said to me, with shade
of sadness, that they regretted that
they must sometimes make decisions
of which their mothers did not ap-
prove. One Of the temptations to
which we fallible mothers are liable
is that of ignoring the obvious fact
that grown-up daughters or daugh-
ters nearly grown are not babies any
longer and are not to be compelled
to weld their individuality to ours.
There are crises in young lives, and
the only thing for mother to do,
having given such counsel as she
thinks best, is to leave her daughters

by large audience. There are a

The women were dressed in short

Idaho Northern WM Run
Two Regular Tra;nA

Commencing about May Is ths
Idaho Northern will put On two reg
ular trains per day. one arriving ia
the morning and the other in the
| afternoon.
The morning train will leave
Nampa about 6 o'clock, arriving in
Emmett at 7:3O. and will have for
its equipment the two passenger
coaches now used. The afternoon
train will leave Nampa about /
o'clock and arrive here 1T 2:3O.
This will be the logging train, but
will have q combination coach for
passengers. The motor car will not
be operated except for special busi-
ness.
The Nampa Leader Herald says the
company is preparing to spend much
money for new equipment this sum-
mer. With the new equipment to
be bought is new engine, 20 fiat
cars and another combination coach.
This latter is to be used on a logging
train which will make daily trips to
Emmett for the purpose of hauling
logs to the millsite of the Idaho
White Pine Milling company and will
give Emmett the advantage of two
trains daily, one being an exclusive
passenger train, as it is the purpose
of the company to have the logging
train do all the freight hauling. In
fact, the train will be on the order
of the Cannon Ball" run by the
Oregon Short Line between Boise,
Nampa and Huntington. Passeng-
ers wishing TO go to Emmett in the
morning can go on the combination

the weather will permit. tryout OF
the players will be made and the
best ones selected.
