''The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad" CPS. 126 3 Dear young Christian, read this and divide this plural "us'' into the singular, and make it yours: For me, the Lord has done great thing, whereof am glad.o Christianity is intensely individual. Christian character is personal matter. No one can be religious for another. There is no substitute for personal piety and purity; these must in- here in the individual, and abide there by the loving favor of God. This will be your joy and delight and by systematic, prayerful, connection and communion with God, each day, you will have these vital essentials, as witnesses that you are pleasing God day by day. Oh, what a fellowship! That of the Holy spirit bearing testimony with our spirit, that we are the children of God. If children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ.
 Personal devotion to God will keep the warmth in your heart and the gleam of glory and brightness in your eyes. Men who observe you will take note of you that you are in the world, but not of the world, and that you are keeping company with Jesus each day. Temptations will come; aye, they have already come to many and perhaps all of you, but remember the sin does not lie in the tempta- tion, but in the yielding.' Hence the book says: ''Shun the very appearance of evil. , Avoid even the shadow of 1t. No man is any stronger than his weakest point. For example, chain is no strong CT than it's weakest link.

All men have a "bessetting sin" weak link, " in this christian chain. Know that weakness. protect it. ask God to help you to make 1t strong, like other vital clements you possess.

Change in Firm.

The Mountain Home Storage
and Forwarding Co., made a
change in its management the first
of the week. Mr.. Weaver sold
his interest i'll the dray line to Mr.
Van Orff and Mr.. Payne purchased
Mr.. Van Orff's interest in the
forwarding business and in the fu-
ture the dray line will be owned
and operated by MIR. Van Orff and
the storing and forwarding busi-
ness by the firm of Weaver &
Payne.
The business of the old firm had
grown to such large proportions
that it was difficult for the members
to give both departments proper
attention SO the change above noted
was entertcd into with the result
that in the future they will be
seperate and better service rem
dercd to the public.

AUDITORS IN
CONVENTION

F. c. Smith, county anditor is
in attendance at a session OF the
county auditors of the state at
Boise this week. The meeting
is proving very interesting and
much benefit will be received by
those in attendance. The address
of welcome was delivered by Gov
ernor Gooding who spoke of the
necessity for uniform system of
bookkeeping by the clerks of the
various counties of the state and
hoped that permanent organiza-
tion would be effected and meet
ings be held frequently enough to
enable the clerks to keep in touch
with each other and to keep the
books in harmony.
He spoke of the ability of the
county auditors to have an in
fluence on legislation, particularly
with regard to legislation effect
ine the revenue laws of the state
which are very much in need OF
revision.
In closing he said that the state
is alright, the banks are all right
and business is alright and will
remain so if the people do not be-
come alarmed.
Several papers we're read by
different auditors touching or
matters of interest TO the auditors
and discussed generally by those
present.

first time and the large orders re-
ceived for this new product was
most encouraging to MIR. Free
man the manufactured. The
name. THE Elmore" is good one
and should help win for the ex-
cellent cigar a popularity that will
mean a liberal advertisement for
the county for which it is named.
Mr.. Freeman expects to introduce
a cheaper cigar besides one or two
other brands but the leader for
popular favor will be the Elmore.
1t will be mace up of the finest
Havana and the quality main
tanned at all times so the smoker
of the Elmore will take no chances
at any time of getting anything but
the best article possible for Mr..
Freeman to produce.

A telephone message states that
Jim Clark shot,Ed Breyer this MORN
ing. The affray took place near
the Crown Point Mine. For a
long time past Clark has been
watching the old Dan Reebeg prop
erty, now controlled by {. E.
Thum of Pocatello and others.
Breyer also has some mining claims
on the same hill. 1t was not over
mining claims, however, that this
trouble arose, but over a level
tract of land just below the mill.
This field has for a long time been
classed as ranch land and was
fenced by someone years ago
possible by Reeber. AS the story
goes, Breyer located a homestead
upon the land and by doing so de-
prived Clark of certain rights
claimed. Certain buildings stood
upon the homestead and Clark
was instructed by Thum, or his
company, to move the buildings.
They were claimed by Breyer and
the supposition is that when Clark
attempted TO renfbve the buildings
Brier objected and, in the row
which ensued, was shot by Clark.
Clark made no attempt to escape
but gave himself up at Dixie.

SHOOTING SCRAPE
OCCURS AT DIXIE

This is the second shooting
scrspe Clark has participated in
recently. About three years ago
he and Douglas Howe quarreled
Howe quarreled and Clark was
shot through the shoulder.
Howe served about two years
in the penitentiary for the offense.
Gun plays are becoming entirely
too numerous of late. If the
money expended by Elmore County
during the past twenty years in
trying to convict men for such Of
lenses could have been expended on
court house and county road inn
provements, the people would be
far better off. These would-be
bravados and bad men are becoming
a nuisance A few convictions
and long time sentences might have
salutary effect.
Later: Breyer was brought to
town this afternoon and his wounds
dressed by DR.. Hawley. 1t was
found that he had received the
charge in the back from a shot gun
but was too far away to sustain
serious injuries. He will be laid
up not longer than a week or ten
days.
