Years.

Boise river and surrounded by some
of the finest agricultural lands In the
State of Idaho are the towns of Par
ma and Roswell. These two places
are located across the river from
each other and are connected by a
bridge spanning the Boise river.
We have never learned when Par
ma was named, who christened her,
or whence the name is derived,
but think that It was from. that
doughty warrior, the Duke OF Parma.
However that may be the name has
not been a handicap to her growth or
progress. Years ago the Fouch's the
Holbrook's and the StocktOn's were
the cream OF Parma's social and
business world. The village was
small and NO one dreamed Cor her
any future worth remarking. But
then that was before the Sebree canal
watered the lands upon the bench
along the north side of the river, or
the Roswell canal watered the Ros-
we'll bench and before the bridge be-
tween Roswell and Parma was built
making those communities close
friends and neighbOrs.
When these things happened Par
ma began to grow and to develop in
to a social and commercial center.
Now she is a town of some six or
seven hundred inhabitants with city
government, graded schools, with an
adequate municipal water works sys-
tenn, with q sewerage system. and
her streets and business blocks and
residences lighted by electricity fur

ming them up gradually and surely,
said United States Senator A. B. Cum
Minis, Of Iowa. today when asked what
he thought OF the result OF the pri-
mary in his home state.
The progressives have reduced the
standpatters to three districts in Iowa
and we have the state convention by
large majority. so you can see for
yourself how we are coming on. con-
tinued Cummins.
The senator said that he had hoped
that Warren Garst would be nominal
ed over Gov. b. F. Carroll. but that
there had been only slight chance
for Garst to win, as Ii is the custom
of his state TO re-nominate governor.
Cummins said that the first, sew
enth, eighth and ninth districts be-
longed to the standpatters and now
the seventh district had defeated j.
A. L. Hull. the progressives made a
clear gain. The senator said that he
had been in Iowa working TO make
the state convention a progressive
one and with the aid OF his com
patriots had done so. He declared
that he was not there to assist any
of the candidates.
Cummins stopped in Chicago en-
route to Washington.
When asked what he thought of the
railroad bill now in conference, Sen
ator Cummins said he thought that
the bill. when accepted, would be

TO that playhouse as the special
attraction OF next weeks bill. Miss

OF songs which are characteristic OF

in Detroit; Lassard Bros. acrobats !:
and Clara Berg, soubrette.
The center OF interest in the Tenn
pie theater's vaudeville program for
next week will. of course. be Norman
Hackett, both because Mr. Hackett Is
Detroit actor and because Of the
eminent position the young man has
attained on the American stage. II
was not so many years ago that Mr..
Hackett graduated from the Detroit
High school. and still fewer that he
received his degree at the University
of Michigan. Since then he has made
remarkably rapid progress In his pro-
fession and has been leading man for
Sothern and Marlowe, Louis James.

also been a star himself Although
Captain James Archibald, who wrote
The Outpost" the tense little play
let which Mr. Hackett Is to produce
in the Temple next week, Is not well
known in Detroit. he Is very inter
esting figure, for he has served with
l2l armies and has been a war CORE
spondent In Ia international conflicts.
For that reason there is no doubt that
the atmosphere of The Outpost, +"
which tells OF an insurgent raid In the
Philippines, will be correct. There -
abundant promise OF good run In the
next program, for one OF the feature
attractions is to be Billy Gould. the
broadway Jester Mr.. Gould has
played leading roles in more Broad
way musical comedies than any other
comedian. and he always has fund
OF fresh and original material TO serve
to his vaudeville audiences. Another
delightful act on this bill will DO given
