Mrs. Ridenbaugh was asked t,
respond to "Our Boise"
Our Boise.
Never lived Boiser yet,
That isn't ready to bet
His very last red
That Boise'll come out ahead.
When the fellows from, way ,lowr
east
Talk of transportation case,
Boise beats EN- every time
In the palaces of our interurban line
When the friendly, misty webfoot,
With his very proudful boast,
OF airship line from Baker to Butte
We as proudly answer, hear our

When our neighbors DER the lea.
Boast Of their salty inland sea,
OF sousing in with happy lunge,
We calmly refer to our Natty plunge.
Even California Is far behind
With her poor old earthquake shock
We can safely reply,
They should see our Table rock.
When folks returned from foreign
shore,
Tell of wondrous cities, tho frozen
to the core,
Without exciting any envious ire
without any fire.
Even Uncle Sam with great big
stick,
Isn't in it with us when it comes to
taking a trick,
For whenever it comes to the rub.

he opportunities for aiding other
women, for speaking for. little chill

GOD, are opportunities which are
lessings."
Mrs. Green spoke along this line
orsa few moments and then said: eft
