There are about 140 nice Aocks O
hens within radius of ten miles O
Caldwell and for the first time in tn
history of the state these hens hav

down to fifteen cents through Apri

Star has an up-to-date gymnasium
The women patronizers have up-to.
date suits and wear them upon the
streets in an up-to-date fashion and
move around in an up-to-date style
There are also other people in the
little village who look upon this up
to-the-knees style as little too rapid
for quiet little hamlet of three hun
dred souls and so there is a contro-
verified point in the air all the time in
one of our suburbs. The question
arises for settlement, whether it's
better to plod along in the old fash
toned manner of that of our grand
mas and be sedate and slow or to
throw to the wind that old stage
coach and canal boat period where
women blushed when their foot mis-
sed the step, and gave everybody. the
worth of their money. One of the
demonstrators in speaking Of the
other demonstrators said she did not
mind it so much for mothers or their

Middleton has union depot. The
union depot has a nice rustic seat on
the east side where the lights go out
early. That seat has two youny fel-
lows and their sweethearts who are
contestants for its possession and
during the late hours there are many
nice things said in the region of that
seat and many vows drawn up to the
contract period and many hopes and
fears eradicated and the future is
blythe and gay.

With not more than a quarter of it
more than slightly irrigated. The
Try farmers are "fat and sassy" be-
cause of having had two good years
together. The foot hills this sea-
son will universally make good crops
and twenty-five bushels of wheat to
the acre on dry land is to be found
on upper Willow creek, in the upper
Emmett region and lower Long
Valley.
The honey bee is now face to face
with the hardest work of his season.
The alfalfa is starting to bloom, the
apple blossoms and peach bloom and
apricot nectar are already stored in
the cell and in the eater of the young
bees, the queens have decided upon
how many millions of eggs will this
year be proper to lay and the drone
world is figuring on how long it will
be until it will have to go where the
wood-bine twineth, for a little later
the worker bee will shove a singer
into these useless fellows and kick
them out the back door. Old Doctor
Ostler got his idea from the bee.
B. w. Rice has been holding re-

really prosperous regions and is one
OF Caldwelfs best suburbs. The place
