Our rural carrier was made very
happy last Thursday not only be-
cause of a very nive gift but because
he has received the acknowledgement
of his patrons for service well done.
During the busy holiday season when
parcels post brought loads of gifts
for all many could not forget the me-
dunn by which it came and express
ed desire to make Howard Snow
berger the carrier, substantial gift.
Mr.. E. Blomstrom, ]. M. Royston, c.
E. Barnes and ]. H. Spainhower got
their heads together and canvassed
the route asking only a small amount
from each patron and the response
was unanimous and in two days over
$40 secured with which amount a
nice fur coat, carriage heater and
some additional cash was presented
to him Thursday at Fruitland while
making his route. Quite a little
crowd had gathered and H. T. Lew
is as spokesman told Mr.. Snowberger
that when rural patrons had a COM
plant they usually registered it
with the authorities but We preferred
to come to him in this case and
continuing in this ocular vein said
"our chief complaint was that he did
not wear a fur coat, ETC." Howard
responded in very nice little speech
and pledged himself to do his best
and what more can any man do.

did interest marked the meeting. The

a car of apples last week, Mrs. Stout,
Vallie Colwel and Mary Kinnison do
ing the packing. They finished up
late Friday night and A. G. Rodgers,
Mr.. tSout and Arthur Colwell fur
nished the eats for late supper
by way of celebration.
Friday night charivari party Wis
tied the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Mil
ton Bowers and the unexepectedness
of the visit at so late date
was such a shock to Mrs. Bow
ers, that she was very i'll requir-
ing the care of physician all night.
No comment of mine could add to the
contrition of the boys for the mis-
deed that we feel sure was not ma
licious. However, some damage was
done to Mr.. Bowers fine residence for
which he quite naturally feels some
resentment and this should be a les
son to all who make UP such par
ties, to be reasonable, sane and con-
slider how a party like that would ap-
pear with the light of day shining
upon them. Just imagine!
