Incense Fad Increasing.

II HERE is craze for incense, and
the japanese have sent it over to us
in a bewildering number of forms,
all of which are diminutive, as is to be
expected from that land of little men and
little things. Animals are the popular
incense bearers, and you may have
stork to breathe forth the fumes for you,
or fierce looking dragon, or wise old
owl, or even curious, hideous reptile if
your taste runs that way. There is as
much variety in the kind Of incense as
there is in the animal holders of it, and
as it is most fascinating to try the var-
GUS kinds summer homes and verandas
are likely to take on decidedly Oriental
atmosphere.

- HERE is no time In the school
and college career of young girl
fraught with a greater degree of
interest and enthusiasm than
those gala days which mark the
closing Of the year. To some it
means the ending of school days alto
gether, and their enthusiasm is not un-
mixed with regret at the thought of giving
up associations, as well as leaving all the
fun of taking part in the years festivities.
But to the others it is only a time of
merrymaking, the fun ranging from
quiet little farewell spread for a small
clique of girls to the formal and impress
sive outdoor ceremonies which are part
of college tradition and always attract
large gathering of spectators.
Weather permitting, nearly all the clos
ing exercises are held in the open air,
part Of the college campus being set aside
for exhibitions in physical skill and grace,
for oddly enough college classes prefer To-
entertain their friends after the school
year of hard mental work with athletic
games and amusements rather than with
mental gymnastics. There is a special
day set aside for the profound and formal
closing event, but this is usually the only
quiet and impressive ceremony, the re-
mainder of the week being given up toI
fun pure and simple.
While college fields are all more or less
alike in their general plan they differ I'M
size and equipment according to the i'm
portance of the college. Rarely are the
open fields situated far from the halls and
buildings, while the gymnasium, which
supplies the stage setting in case oil
stormy weather, is usually in close touch
with the outdoor set for these gay per-
formances. Girls schools have followed
the lead of boys colleges in arranging for
the comfort of their guests on these i'm
portant days when girls and their alma
mater put on their best attire and wear
their friendiest smile. No matter how
small the student attendance of the school
may be visitors who are interested
enough to watch the sports are provided
with good seats along the side lines or in
the bleachers; where they can look on at
the latest college novelty and enjoy the |
day comfortably.
They Love Novelty.
The audience is by no means the least
interested and least interesting feature of
the day. Whether the programme be dull
or stupid cheers and applause are never
stinted. II is the great time and event
of the year, and therefore wins praise
But any one who knows the least Bit
about college girls and their entertain
ments can vouch for their love of novelty
and fun. There is no gathering of young
persons SO full of ideas and plans for new
and original amusements as school girls.
Their ingenuity is equalled only by their
cleverness and inventiveness in carrying
out their ideas. Each year brings some
thing novel in their entertainments, aud

EAT RAISINS APRIL 3Oth.

Our friends in the raisin districts
of California have ten thousand tons
of raisins left on their hands this sea-
son and several big railroad systems
have Joined with business houses
from San Francisco to New York in
bringing raisins to the attention of
the public by making April 3Oth a
raisin day. Everybody from Presi-
dent Taft down is going to eat raisins
or some dainty dish made with raisins
and chemists are going to be busy re-
minding people that raisins have high
food values, containing six times as
much nutrition per pound as apples,
five times as much as bananas, two
times as much as milk and as medi-
cine have a mild laxative effect.
People who have visited the Fresno
raisin district will remember that
they formed an association, bought
expensive machinery for handling
raisins on large scale, gave the
world the finest, cheapest and best
packed raisins that ever were known,
and now, after being trust busted, :"
they are making a final stand to see
if the merit of their product will
bring them through.
Tracy Rose, former Blackfoot
boy, and his wife are among the
boosters who have brought the matter
to our attention. 44-2

evident by letters received by off

SALOON LICENSES REFUSED.
Commissioners Deny Applications
from American Falls.

The county commissioners, Thurs
day forenoon denied the applications
of ]. F. Gish and w. A. West for
Licenses to conduct saloons in gAmeri-
can Falls. The licenses Of the saloons
expired the first of April, but bonds
were furnished and the license fee
tenderd and applications for renewal
made. Official notice that the licenses
have been denied will probably be re-
ceived this morning, which will end,
the existence of saloons in American
Falls for two years and probably for
all time.
The fight to close the saloons was
begun a year ago in March, when q
petition was presented to the trustees
which contained more names than
there were voters at the preceding
election, yet the petition was denied
for the stated reason that 1t was
not representative. Following this In
July an election was held at which
the dry's won by substantial major
ity, but this was also claimed to be
not representative, and but for the
action of the commissioners the sa-
looms would not have been closed un-
til December. American Falls Press.
