EPISCOPAL CHURCH
News Items


! The Christmas bazaar was a great
success. The Junior Girls club and
the Young Ladies club sold out long
before closing time and the Ladies
Guild, who had by far the most arti.
cles for sale, having worked for some
time for this object, had only a few
articles left at the hour of closing.
The Guild headed the list as having
taken in more than the other Or
ganizations. We again express to all
concerned our sincere thanks for
their kind support A nice sum was
realized by all and the result was
most gratifying.
The Sunday school Christmas tree
plans are going rapidly forward. The
children are getting ready for the
part they are to play in the en-
tertainment and We hope that all the
parents and friends of the Sunday
school children will make special ef-
fort to be present on Chrismtas eve.
The Rev. Jennings, representing the
bishop, paid us a visit last Sunday
and expressed his delight at seeing
so many at the services and Sun
day School-and to know of the splen.
did progress being made by the
church in Mountain Home.
The members of the knights of
Honor enjoyed the evening at the
moving picture show on Thursday
last. Mr.. p. G. Taylor, who is
thinking Of making lis aalce here
and who for some tia!e vas manual
training instructor of lie Grace
Episcopal church Boys club in Boise,
is going to assist Mr.. Wood with the
Knights of Honor. We extend to Mr..
Taylor a very hearty welcome. He
Is a staunch Episcopalian and has
already intimated his desire to help
in any way possible.
The Young Ladies club go to
Glenns Ferry today and will present
AT the End of the Rainbow in the
Fairy theatre this evening. Some of
the Ferry people were so much
pleased with the entertainment when
given in the opera house here that
they suggested its reproduction in
Glenns Ferry.
The Ladies Guild will not meet
again until the new year owing to
so many being busy at this season
of the year.

GOOD CROPS BE-
TWEEN TREES
Splendid Returns From Tracts On
Project

Some returns that appear almost
phenomenal are reported from those
who have land on the Boise-Payette
project, according to George H. Bliss,
government traffic manager for the
project, who has figures on the re-
turns of a number OF farms that will
aid Idaho in going before congress
with evidence to prove the worth of
the land and what can be done II
additional funds are given for the
further development of the projects
in the state.
Among some of the cases cited by
Mr.. Bliss Is that Of the Richards
brothers, who have an S0-acre tract
planted In young orchard. While
the orchard is maturing the Richards
last spring planted navy beans be-
tween the rows of trees. They har-
vested the crop In October, gathering
an average OF 1850 pounds of beans
for which they received from 4 to 6
cents a pound, netting them from
$75 to 800 per acre.
Big Potato Harvest
Pretty general over the country
west of the Deer Flat reservoir the
returns were good Jed Allen clean
ed up $1,000 from his tract. Others
in that vicinity did equally as well.
Messrs. Fry and Smith, who recently
came to Idaho from Greedy, Colo,
harvested from 300 to 400 bushels OF
potatoes to the acre.
Below the Deer Flat reservoir there
are many people whose gross income
this year was from $40 to 500 per
acre. Between 1000 and 5000 acres
of clover seed was planted In the
district and the farmers all made a
lot of money. One man, who had O
small tract In alfalfa last year, put
1t in wheat this year and when his
returns came In he deposited $l2oo
In a bank.
These are a few of the cases or
the remarkable showing made this
year In the district. There are many
more, but the reports have not been

THE CHORUS GIRLS
WERE VERY ANGRY
Miss Nobody from Starland
Hits the Bumps in !
Hammond.

Quite a surprise and not at all an
agreeable one was meted out to the
Miss Nobody from Starland" company
at the Hammond theatre last Sunday
night when the cast and chorus were
notified that the big company was 60
ing to disband. Fifteen chorus girls
and a number of men were notified
that their services were dispensed with.
1t was sumner. for some of the
young damsels and the language they
greeted their dismissal which would
have caused their arrest in Billings
gate. London.
1t is the intention of the proprietors
to make musical tabloid out of the
show and hence only the necessary
people will be able to stick with the
production. Olive Vail. the. star. will.
of course. not be with the tabloid
company which will go in the Allardt t
circuit. 1t is understood that the show
which at best is only a burlesque. had
been playing to poor business since it
left that dear Chi.

learned at the meeting between A Nj.

Chicago. yesterday.
The matter is to be taken up at a
meeting of the board of directors of the
Hammond Country club. which is to be
held tonight If Hammond will look

by the society.
The plan Is to have the party take
the trip to Cedar Lake either by train
or by automobile. They will partici-
pate in an old-fashioned barbecue that
will be put on by Chicago caterers.
After a rest at Cetlr Lake they will

will be the feature of the entertain

If the directors of the Country club
think that Hammond can tackle the
further negotiations will go on be-

in the decision. to hold the annual out

Chamber of Commerce directors last
night was primarily for the purpose of
arousing interest among the members

CARTER WANTS TO
MOVE CAPITAL TO

The closing half hour of the
afternoon session in the House
presented little of serious import
to attract the members, and huge
paper wads began flying after the
fashion of the closing hours, with
scattering fire of resolutions
aimed at all manner of things.
One resolution introduced by
Representative Weisman was to
make arrangements to stage in the
House chamber a fight to the
finish between Battling Gottlieb,
the Hebrew garnisheer of Gary,
and Cyclone Kid Carter, the

On the House side dignified law

with confetti, compelled members to
make speeches, introduced several
varieties of resolutions and motions,
marched through the corridors of the
State House and invaded the Senate
chamber.

THE BOYS
SAID THEY
WERE SORRY

Miss Rena Ames, principal of the
Lafayette school in Hammond, had
to deal with a number of penitent, yet
manly. boys this morning. In formal
note to the popular instructor, they ex-
pressed their regret for having caused
an uproar in the school and trouble
for their teachers through their agita-
ton 70 Microscopes
rompted by a newspaper story about
Cleveland school children going on
strike because the building in which
they attended lacked adequate fire.
escapes 2 number of the Lafayette
schoolbcys thought it a good stunt to
start something like this at home
Their movement, however, did not go
beyond the petition stage.
Miss Ames laid the situation before
superintendent Mcdaniel and he took
personal charge of 1t this morning. 1t
was pointed out to the leaders and
those who had already signed the petit
ton that the conditions in the Laf-
ayette building and the Cleveland

pupils were told that the state law
does not require fire-escapes for two
story buildings. where such buildings
have wide Railways and two sets of
exits permitting pupils to walk out for
abreast.
They were told that the state in
spector on his recent visit ordered
some improvements. such as banisters.
but that he did not deem it necessary
to have fire-escapes and that the city
building Inspector had taken the same
position
Some of the parents, however, were
in sympathy with the agitation, and
whether they will be convinced to the
contrary remains to be seen. One lady
whose daughter attends the Lafayette
school said this afternoon that she
thought the chances were against the
pupils attending the basement rooms
in case of fire. Counting the base
ment floor, there are really three floors
used for classrooms.
