1.-THE home atmosphere received its

a switch sent home at once; trip
down cellar always meant my aunt's
rushing back to hear over the phone;
that Mrs. Barker wanted to be mani
cured, shampooed, powdered and
puffed. Even after my aunt had gone;
to bed there would be hurry calls for
the beauty doctor. About the only
time the telephone bell didn't ring
was when my aunt sat down in front
Of it.
"Originally no meals were to be
served in the house, but the girls said
it gave them such a homeless feeling
to eat breakfast at the restaurant and
they didn't care for much"

The bookkeeper nodded. st won

cided to drink hot water and the IL

| Breakfast became continuous per-
Torrance of keeping four different
drinks hot for one hour-15 cents a

Aunt Nan had been brought up to
look upon Sunday as a day of rest,
but 1t was considered by the librarian
an appropriate day in which to prac-
tice ragtime. Moreover, she mended
and ironed all the remainder of the
day of rest, just where she was in my
aunt's way and as for the beauty doc
tor, she took in washing over Sun
days-there were always a lot of
switches and puffs drying on the
clothesline. UGH"

in the direction of the typewriters.

these long, sad days that my aunt sat

The bookkeeper lighted his pipe

RECEIVER FOR GRAND VIEW
Appointment Made Last Week After
Hearing Before District Court
OF Ada County.

The water difficulties at Grand
View are settled for the time at least.
According to all reports. conditions
under the new management have
been very unsatisfactory to the settl-
ers and water users, and service last
year was more OF less troublesome
and disagreeable This spring pros
poets were not very bright for those
having land ready for water and in
order to protect their interests and
prevent water belonging to them
from going to new land outside Of
the original Grand View district,
action was started for the appoint
ment Of receiver to take charge Of
the system-he to make proper re-
pairs in order to insure water AMI
protect the interests Of those who
had purchased water rights.
The district court granted a re-
ceiver last week and appointed Mr.
Hyde Of Oreana. who refused toact.
Mr.. Abrams Of Grand View was next
selected and has accepted and filed
sufficient bonds. He has set a number
of teams at work making repairs on
the bitches. and if allowed to con-
tinue will no doubt place the system
in god condition.
IN view of this activity on the part
of the settlers, the company has
secured a large crew Of men and
have them on hand to take charge
Of the work should they be allowed
to do so. If the court can be con-
vinced they are in good faith it is
thought the system win be turned
back and the receiver withdrawn

NEW COMPANY FORMED.
Local Men Incorporate and VIII Man

Window Stop.

Articles of incorporation have been

officers elected for the first year are
as follows
j. E. Walter president.
Geo p Hall, first vice president
d. L. Lewis. second vice president.
Jas H. Whitson. secretary.
B. B. Swan. treasurer.
The company is organized for the
purpose of manufacturing ana push
ing the sale of the window stop in
vented by Dr. Walter. and which has
proven such a success. DR.. Walter
obtained letters of patent last fall and
set about making models for exhibi-
ton One of his models he had on
display at the fair last fall and il
attracted a great deal of attention
ana several orders were placed for
the stop at that time. Before he
could complete the stops ready for
installation orders commenced rolling
in at such a rapid rate that he was
literally swamped. When il is con-
sidered that very little effort has been
made to push the sale to the present
time. this demand for the stops viii
demonstrate its popularity with ev-
eryone who examines into its merits.
Already several orders have been
booked in Boise and other nearby
towns. besides nearly every resident
in this city The future outlook for
the company is very bright, and we
hope to see a well-equipped factory,
employing a large crew of men, turn
ing out this ingenious little devise in
the near future.
