LITTLE WILLOW NOTES

at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Scott and enjoyed a real old fashion
. Ell and also an up to date celebration
The morning was spent in cocial
way, just before dinner one and all
, sang America, then j. H. Berrie made
short but very interesting talk
which was much enjoyed and was the
oughly progressive, touching on the
national issues and not forgetting to
mention the fact that Idaho was the
western bonCnry of thesd UnSetl
States. The dinner being spread
in the grove was surely great. Every
thing possible had been prepared fer
this spread and it was surely feast
hard to beat. Lemmonade was serv-
ed during the dinner hour. At o.
clock the small boys potato race
which was won by Howard Roe, then
the foot race won by Lester Patton
and other races by the boys, then
the mems potato race on horses
which was certainlya fine exhibit
tnn, Sim Tanning was champion in
this. Then came the broncho rid
ing. Chas. shrimp made fine exhi-
bition on his outlaw Bert the an
| imal being trained for bucking and
surely knows the arts well. Then
j Walter shrimp road two year old
mule which caused much merr.ment.
Then came the bareback rider Sim
Tanning. A wild horse was roped
and Mr.. Tanning did the riding act
with no bride or saddle. This was
surely the best of the many good
showings of the days sports. He
rode his horse well and everyone
looked on much interested es-
pecially when the horse started down
the road for home several miles away
but was overtaken and roped. Then
all, both old and young went back
! to the grove where ice cream and
! lemmonade was served, being made
by the ladies assisted By George
Scott and Max McCluehen. Most eY-
eryone stayed for the dance as plat
form had been built on the lawn. Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Swank and Clyde Cur
rim of Payette furnished the music
which was exceptionally fine. The
dancers enjoyed the cool evening and
morning air to the fullest. During the
afternoon Max McClenahen was busy
with his camera and has some fine
pictures as a result. The people all
were thoroughly satisfied with our
home celebration and believe that Lit
tie Willow Valley will have ceie-
bration each year now. Mr.. and Mrs.
