PRESIDENT AGAIN VISITS THE
CAPITAL.

Washington, April 29.-President
Wilson's visit to the capital to-day,
the third during his eight weeks OF
office, was a precedent breaking trip
as far as capitol historians could say.
Other presidents had gone to the CAPT
toll to read their addresses, as VIII
son did on April 8, but there is no
record of any other president going
there to save time in talking about
appointments.
After having been at the capitol
one hour and having conferred with
sixteen senator's and thirteen rep
resentatives, among them Republi-
cans and Progressives, the president
rode back to the White House. The
door to the presidents room was left
wide open during the conferences.
The president askel Senator Town
send, Republican, about J. j. Bell,
whom he had in mini for collector of
customs at Port Huron. IT told the
president that everything knew
against Bell was his politics." said
the senator as he came from the con-
ference. Senator LaFollette had an
earnest talk with the president on ap-
pointments.

THE BACK YARD.
Nampa Herald-Leader

A Boston man once remarked that
you could always tell the difference
between a New Yorker and one of his
own townsmen by the way they
blackened their shoes. The New
Yorker blackened them all around,
while the Boston man never touch
ed the heels, seemingly thinking that
no one ever looked at him from be-
hind.
Whether or not the foregoing criti-
cism was just to Beantown, it fairly
hits the ideas of most people about
their back yards. When the rage for
elaborate and angular house was
at it's height a few years ago, save
one remarked that the popular house
fronts were of the Queen Ann style,
while the rear with its garbage pals
and ash heaps were Mary Ann.
Most people who live in individual
houses keep their front yards in
pretty good condition, nowadays, just
as most people wash their faces and
hair. But their feeling about the
back yard Is like the Boston man and
his boots.
In most towns the back yard is al
most as conspicuous as the front No.

drangeas you put next the sidewalks,
