THE JAPANESE WEDDING

The JhrhNEOE WEDDING
On last Saturday evening the
home talent of Hartyille, under the
auspices of the Christian church
and by the direction of brand Mrs.
Riley entertained the large crowd
assembled at the opera house in a
way both unique and pleasing.
Promptly at eight o'clock the o
chestra opened the program by
good selection.
Soon the curtain was raised and
for while the beautiful decorations
of real japanese fashion attracted
The attention but soon the stage was
peopled by dark haired, almond
eyed members of a japanese we'd
ding party. The first of the party
to appear was the Go-Between, who
in way takes the place of the min
lister of Occidental weddings. She,
like the bride and groom father and
mother, bridemaids and flower girls
who followed wore the costumes in
dainty shades of rainbow colors, so
characteristic of the japanese and
walked with a short mincing steps
that made the whole performance
laughable,
As each one entered having knelt
and bowed to each to whom hon.
age was due, they found seats in
japanese fashion among the flowers
and ferns. After the exchange OF
gifts between the parents and tea
party for all, the Go-Butwccn in
troduced the bride and groom to
each other. The brides veil was
then removed and the wedding was
then complete. The people were
next entertained by voice selections
by A man from Japan Mandolin
and Guitar duet by "A Lady and
Gentleman of Japan" and piano
duets.
One of the most beautiful features
of the evening was Japanese drill
in which large egg was lowered
from the ceiling and opened. From
this was helped wee Jap fairy who
sang to us her good night song and
babe us good bye.
The whole program was highly
entertaining and was pronounced
one of the best ever given by our
home talent.
The decorations were furnished
by DR.. Riley, who is past master
in the art of decorations, and they
alone were worth the price of ad-
mission. .-Hartville Democrat.

661 BUSHELS SPUDS PER ACRE
Grown by Chas. l.. Pittman, of Kim
berly.

The ten-acre crop of potatoes grown
here by Chas. L. Pittman gives the
biggest yield per acre so far reported
anywhere in Idaho. The Boise States
man the other day mentioned crop
near Blackfoot that went some COG
bushels to the acre, but that is el
bushels less than Mr.. Pittman pro-
duced
The gross return per acre on Mr..
Pittmans crop was 661 bushels, or
397 sacks, to the acre. Figuring the
crop at the same price at which w. T.
McClains spuds were sold (SOc), this.
would mean s317.60 for each acre.
The record crop of beets around
Kimberly so far reported is that of
Fred Wilson. He is now digging his
10 acres, and they are averaging 20
tons to the acre, or almost 800 per.
acre gross.

deeper than that. 1t lies in health,
In the majority Of cases the basis OF
health and the cause Of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassltude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation So many
things that women do habltually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully, they eat indlgestible
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise

variety and delicacy Of their work

being the gold pins which were found
at Salamis in Cyprus, and are now in
the British museum. Even more hand
some were the Saxon pins of later
date, with their shank of brass, head
of gold, and establishment of garnets
and pearls. There were, too, the

and frequently mentioned in the Bible.
The instrument driven by Jael through
the temple of Sisera was probably a
tent-pin, while Delilah fastened the

record that in 1347 10000 pins we're

the trade underwent considerable

at the same time the price was low

UNIQUE WEAPONS OF WAR.
Wooden Cannon Have Been Used
With Success In Modern Times by
Z West Indian Revolutlonlsts.

ANY one familiar with the construc-
ton OF modern weapons of warfare
and the high explosives used In them
would naturally suppose cannon
made OF wood would be of little or no
value as weapon
Wooden cannons have been used
with considerable success, neverthe-
less, in recent revolutions in Cuba,
Haiti and In the Dominican republic. I
The wood used in the construction
Of these crude weapons Is very
tough variety, having a twisted grain
that curls about the log in such q way
that to split the timber with the or
binary means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected. and
piece of the log five or six feet in
length and about one foot In diameter
is cut After the bark has been re-
moved and the log made round, 1t is
swung up on crude truss and hole
Is burned into it from one end. The
log is wound with strips of rawhide
cut from the skin OF a steer. When
the cannon is covered with the strips
Of hide, another layer is wound on.
and this is continued until the weapon
has increased several inches in diam
eter.
After the log is covered and the
bore is finished the weapon is treated
to hot draft, which tends to con-
tract the hide binding and which be-
comes almost as strong as wire.
These crude cannons have been
used with success In number of in
stances, and 1t is astonishing the num-
Der of times they may be fred before
they burst or become otherwise dis

why INCUBATOR CHICKS Die

The small boy whose father has

too wet for raising ordinary crops

in the wet places, and there has
