COUNTY FAIR
LOOKS GOOD
Plans For Fall Fair Meets Approval
Be Considered BY CONNER
Clsl Club

Mountain Home has decided not to
celebrate this year in view of the
fact that Glenns Ferry is planning
the first celebration in that city in
years 1t has been decided that
Mountain Home will turn out and go
to the Ferry in force this year and
en- joy the day there.
And, instead of the celebration, the
county fair is being agitated and
considerable interest is taken in the
subject on all sides Mr.. Helfrich,
president of the Commercial Club, in
terviewed a number of the business
men and members of the club the
first of the week and all expressed a
desire to have fair and the move
ment seems to be growing daily. A
session of the executive committee
will be held Saturday night at which
time the subject will be discussed and
next Tuesday night a general meet
ing of the club will be held to take
up the question and decide definitely
whether to have a fair. 1t is pro-
posed to take charge of the fair ins the
same manner as last year. That rs,
the Commercial Club take hold Of
the management and financing and in
that manner guarantee its success.
A guarantee fund will be subscribed
to, defraying all the expenses of the
| fair before hand and this will be
backed by the business men of the
city. In this way the support of ths
whole city will be assured and the
success of the fair more certain.
There is no reason why we canno
have the fair this year. Surely thu
profit and benefit from a county fai
in adertising the country is man.
times more valuable than celebration
and not any more expensive Th
crowds that come to the city during
fair week often number people wh
come to the city for the first tim
and generally make friends and futur
patrons for the city. The advertising
that goes out all through the north
west of successful fair in the coun
ty cannot be duplicated in any othe
manner. 1t is distinct value an
/ should be supported and encourage
, by every citizen In the county.

To Clean Wall Paper

To clean wall paper use the follow
ing recipe: Ten cents worth of
liquid ammonia, ten cents worth of
oil of sassafras. one teaspoonful (even
fp,it of soda, two teaspoonfuls lev en-
fnll) of salt and one quart of cold
water. Mix the cold water with the
ingredients, then add white flour un-
til it is thick enough to drop from a
spoon. Put in covered pail, set in
kettle of boiling water, and cook
until done. stirring often. If it does
not stick to the hands when cool, it
is done. Remove from the pail and
divide into "loaves' working each
piece a while in the hand Take
only what is needed, leaving the rest
covered in the pail, to prevent the
ammonia from evaporating. Rub the
wall with loaf, working the dirt in
to the dough. When very dirty ex-
change for clean loaf This re-
moves dirt and grease magically and
leaves old paper as good as new when
used carefully. Woman's Home Com.

BAND BOYS
GET TOGETHER
Organization With Twenty Members
Formed 10 Furnish City
With Music
Last Tuesday night number Of

Last Tuesday night number OF
members of the old band THAT
made Moun tain Home famous
assembled at the Bennett Bros
Office and proceeded to reorganize
band for the city. About fifteen
were present and signified a willing
ness to become members of the or
gani cation and with about six or
eight others who will join the band,
large membership is assured. Near
ly all the members have had actual
experience in band work the greater
number having been members of the
local band in the past. With the
enthusiasm and interest shown at the
meeting it will be only short time
until a good band will be in shape to
give the unual weekly band concerts
on the streets and in the park. Those
who will form the new band are c.
r. Wetherell, ]. Bach, Harry Jacob
son, Jas. Whitson, By. McWilliams,

Bennett, Jas. Pence, John Pearson,
Louis Herr. Ubald Couvrett. Chris
Hendricks, Grover Tanner, Bert. Nc
Kibbin, John Eyster and several others
who have not been visited by the COM
mittee at this time.
1t is the intention of the new band
to encourage those interested in the
city to take up some one of the var
ious instruments and become mem
bers of the band. This will give
permanency and excellence to the
band that cannot be secured in any
other way. There is material in the
city for an excellent organization
and with the necessary practice ano
rehearsing should equal any organiza-
tion in the state. All young mer
of the band should communicate will

arrangements to join at once Ever,
opportunity and advantage will b'
given those desiring to learn any O
the band instruments. 1t is the hop
and desire to have permanent or
ganizacion in the city that can be de
pended On at all times.
1t is nearly a year since the ban
went to pieces. Since that time ther
has been little or no attraction IN tn

A GREAT DINNER

The dinner given Hon. Ernest
Lyon, Minister to Liberia, and
Bishop I. B. Scott at the Masonic
Temple last Wednesday was a
brilliant affair. 1t was one of the
finest assemblage of colored men
ever noted in this or any other
city. 1t was a representative
gathering-the flower of the race.
Such a gathering could not be
possible, among colored men, in
any other city. Great is the
praise that is due the committee
that had charge of the dinner.
They left nothing lacking. Every
thing moved off smoothly and
harmoniously not a hitch or
break anywhere, and the good
fellowship that prevailed was in
dicative of approaching race unity.

THE YOUNG AMERICAN

The young colored man of to-
day has no excuse to grow up in
ignorance. 1t seems, however,
that his home training is being
sadly neglected. 1t is disgusting
at times, to see some young col
ored men get into street car
and sit all over the seats. 1t is
embarrassing to see them show
no politeness, by rising and Civ
ing female members of their
race or any other race seats.
Many of them right out of ditch
es make directly for front seats
and there they will sit, laugh and
cry out as if they were some
heathens.
There is a difference in the
Young cOlOred man of today and
those in the days of slavery or
soon after the reconstruction
period. With all of our school
Facilities the young colored man
has a great deal to learn. The
schools are not to blame. The
fault is in his home. The moth
er or the father doesn't seem to
have the proper control over
him. Many of them run wild
during the excursion and picnic
season. In the winter the dane
ing schools takes up his spare
moments. There should be a
law enacted to put these individ-
uals to work. Our streets and
avenues are filled with idlers.
There should be some law enact
ed that will give the police au-
thority to arrest all 1dlerS or per
sons who are not at work. kv-
cry man should be made to
work and if he is out of work
he should be given employment
upon some government reserva-

THE COMMISSIONERSHIP

The president will have his
hands full in the appointment of
two commissioners for the Dis
trict of Columbia, Several
names have been presented to
the President from which he can
make a selection. 1t is the Gus
tom to appoint one Democrat
and one Republican. If these ap-
'pointments were left with the
people they would select Captain
James F. Oyster as the Demo
cratic Commissioner and Mr..
Chapan Brown as the Republi-
can.
Both men would give the peo-
pie a good administration.
