to $167450 from April 1, 1912, to

FARM EXPERT
FOR CANYON
County Farm Bureau Organized and
Man to Be Selected at Once.

Caldwell-An enthusiastic meeting
of representatives from all sections
of Canyon county, held in the Com
mercial club rooms Friday, resulted in
the permanent organization of the
Canyon county farm bureau, with
authority to employ farm expert to
assist the farmers of the county in
solving the everyday problems of
farm life. The necessary funds have
been guaranteed, and it is expected
that the expert will be in the field
within the next 10 days. Emmett's
share of the expense if $3.50.
The delegates elected E. Smallwood
of Nampa president, H. l.. Fest En-
NETT vice president, T. NJ. Nichol of
Caldwell, secretary, and Robert
White of Franklin treasurer. c. R.
Peckham of Wilder and H. j. Cort-
nef or Payette were elected directors.
Professor Coglon of the state univer-
sity was present and assisted in per-
fecting the organization.
The officers elected opened nego-
tiations with E. H. Rhinehart, con-
nected with the extension department
of the University of Idaho, offering
him the position of county adviser.
The amount available for the first
year is $4,000. The amount was sub
scribed from three sources, $l700 by
the residents of Canyon county, $1,000
by the North American Grain ex-
change of Chicago, and $500 by the
state university. This amount will
be used in paying the salary and ira
yelling expenses of the expert.
The action of the residents of this
county in advancing the money to
employ an expert assures them of one
for all time. The federal government.
through the department of agrieul-
ture, places experts in all counties
that have taken the initiative in en-
oloying one for one year, the govern

HIS MUSTACHE
WAS CURED
An Emmett Mother Shrewdly Treats
Her Eldest Son.

"Jim, you forgot to shave YOU
upper lip" said the mother to the
next to the oldest son of an Emmett
family as he came into the dining
room. That was an unkind cut. Fol
three weeks Jim had pampered the
few small blonde hairs on his upper
lip, hoping to make mustache OF
them. Secretly, of late, he hac
doubted his success, but he had not
lost all hope.
Now his mother believed he mere
ly had forgotten to shavel
Half unconscieusly Jim made a
sweeping gesture with his left hand
The thumb and second finger parted
just below his nose and stroked gent
ly each way. A litter ran around the
table where his brothers and the sis
ter had already had assembled.
"Why, Jim, you are not going to-"
stammered the mother.
I "Sure," broke in the son, happy
that she was at last beginning to
realize what he intended it to be-
"Everybody's growing them nova
days"
But the litter about the table con-
tinued, and the glowering of the gull
ty son did not stop it. His mother
left the table and went to the kitch-
en-. The other sons winked at the
daughter and stroked their upper lips.
The mother returned with the coffee.
Jim seized the cup set before him
and raised it to his lips. His upper
lip struck something unfamiliar and
he lowered the coffee. In his hand
he held his fathers old mustache cup.
After dinner the mother was pass
ing Jim's room. The door STOOD open.
In the mirror of the dresser she saw
a lathered upper lip surrounded by a
very red face. AS she watched, fall
tering right hand took firm hold on
one of dads old razors.

PAYETTE BRIDGES
In COURT AGAIN
Nampa Highway District Asks Court
to Apportion Benefits.

At last weeks meeting of tn. Nam
pa Highway commissioners Attorney
F. A. Hagelin was instructed to file
suit in the district court of Canyon
county asking the court to determine
just what benefit if any, the district
is receiving from three new bridges
constructed across the Payette river
in the west side of the county and also
what share in the cost of construction
and maintenance of these bridges, the
taxpayers within the district should
be called upon to bear Canyon coun-
ty and the board of commissioner
H. A. Partridge, E. A. Blair and w. b.
Mitchel-are made defendants in the
case.
In the complaint, it is cited that the
bridges in question are outside the
Nampa highway district and too far
removed therefrom to be of any bene
fit to the inhabitants. Bonds for the
construction of the bridges at cost of
SAT 500 were voted by the county at an
election, August 5, 1911, and the fol-
lowing September the board of COM
missioners made levy and the tax
collector collected the sum Of s573.75
as the districts share in this bond
issue and interest.
This levy the highway district holds
to be unfair and because the highway
board and the county board, after two
joint meetings, have failed TO agree
on what the apportionment should be,
the district court is asked to settle
the matter, determining the extent of
the benefits received by the people of
the highway district from these
bridges, and what the levy against the
property of the district, based on
said benefits, should be.-Nampa-

BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL
GUESSES
A Line on the American and
National Pennant
Races.

Anybody has as much right to
pick winners ahead of time as Hugh
Fullerton, but it is a cinch that very
few persons put the amount of study
on the topic as Friend Hughie. Wher
you look over the reports from the
various managers in the big leagues
you find it hard to decide what really
is going to happen. At first glance
it would appear that while there is
only one rag allotted for each league
about four clubs are reasonably GER
tain of winning it.
There are two things to consider,
however, in any branch of dope spill
ed at this stage of the game, which is
on the eve-or the morning, if you
prefer it-of what almost anyone
will concede to be two very tough
races. There are the clubs who are
hoping to cut the worlds series mon
ey. And there are the clubs, away
down in the ruck, who hope to crawl
up a notch-maybe get into berth
in the first division.
; There is such thing as relative
success, even in baseball.

NOVEL IDEA IN
NET BLOUSES

A clever New York designer has
made use of French idea in devils
ing blouses Of French net, known as
tulle or blonde and other extremely
sheer fabrics. By themselves, as
every woman knows, net waists are
SO delicate that the wearing of them
is somewhat trying and uncertain
proceeding. 1t is practically impos-
sible to anchor them securely in any
one position And there can be NO
such, quality as eft" because of the
necessity of having them large in or
Ger to keep them from breaking out.
This New York designer, says the
KANSAS City Star, has got around these
objections by putting a corset cover
of lace embroidery and ribbons inside
the net waist and fastening both cor
set cover and waist to the same belt.
The ribbons can be run in and taken
cut at will and the combination corset
cover and blouse easily laundered in
enc piece. These blouses are a dis
tinct novelty and quite an inexpensive
one. Another model by the same de-
signer is in white cotton crepe with a
regular Montenegro jacket, also of
the crepe, but with a Persian border.
The coloring is repeated in the but
tons and the bow at the neck.

DRESS OF I HE
BUSINESS WOMAN

Correct dress for the business wo-
man is a subject that is often under
discussion, and it is sometimes hard
for the wage-earner to decide just
what is proper for business wear.
! 1t has been said that dress is like.
a poem, a symphony or picture" and
it is not only the details or accessories
which should blend into one harmo-
NOUS effect, but the surroundings
must be appropriate or the result is a
failure. A gown that would be artis-
tic and beautiful at the theater or par
ty would be most inappropriate behind
the counter or in the office. ~"
Neatness and simplicity are the
dominant factors to be considered by
the business woman who would be
well dressed. Strictly tailor-rnade
garments seem to be always appropri-
ate for business wear, but there are
some women to whom that severe
style. is not becoming and they may
find plain styles of softer lines are
better. =. ..-.= ..*..
When one notes the sheer lingerie
waists cnt with extremely low neck
and above the elbow that are worn by
some salesgirls in the stores, there is
approval by the public in the stand
which is taken by many firms to do
away with the practise. 1t is desired
by the management of some stores
that the salesgirls wear black waists,
but there are some objections on the
part of the girls themselves which are
not unreasonable Unless the mate
rial is of expensive quality, black can
not be Numbered successfully, and
many contend that a dress which is
worn continually at work requires
laundering whether it shows that it is
soiled or not, and many girls are I'M
able to afford a quality which is sat-
isfactory. = o.. ,.:@.

the case, it is poor economy, for much

How SOME WOMEN SOLVE THE
QUESTION OF MOTHER-IN-LAW|

out so well that Mrs. Tichacek decided
10 apply it to all Of her boys, and two
others have followed in the footsteps
OF the first. The girls, now that they
have. their own homes, are not forced
to work, and as finances in the Ticha
eek family are in good condition
there are servants in all of the homes
But these new homes are construed
on an economical basis and the wives
superintend all of the work.
This matchmaking mother says
thai she found her system in the Bible
where it is related number of times
that a son of the wise men or proDh-
cts married the maid-servant. She
says that she has solved the servant
girl problem because she treats the
girls with consideration, and she mas
solved the mother-in-law problem by
GLOWING the girls to become thorough
ly acquainted with her. so that unhar-
monious things that break up many
homes are impossible in her family.
Mrs. Tichacek's plan has worked very
well in her own home, but some young
men might object to having mamma
select their wives,
Mrs. Eva Macdonald Valesh. the
welLknown president Of the American
Federation OF Woman's Labor. does
not agree with Mrs. Tichacak md SAYS
that she is either twenty years ahead
of her time or fifty or hundred thou
sand years. behind it, and she is most
emphatic when she says that Mrs.
Tichacek has not solved the mother
in-law nor the servnnt problem, but
has sadly muddled both.
She says that hundred thousand
years ago there was a matriarchate
where woman ruled supreme and man.

useful whenever it was possible She
also predicts another such age in
twenty years, but advises women TO
live the twenty years and not try to
bring the conditions into the present
day. She also scores highly the nan
who would let his mother select a
wife for him.
1t would seem that the. woman of
this day and age who takes it upon
herself to work out the life-problem
and direct the destiny of another is
