GOVERNMENT TO
HELP HOG RAISERS

The modern method of solving ag-
ricultural problems by investigating
them, not only in the laboratory, but
also ON the farm in cooperation with
the farmer, has given such admirable
results that it is to be applied to the
anti-hog-choleIa crusade.
Congress has appropriated half
million dollars to carry on the work
and the experiments will be made in
all parts of the United States. The
aim will be not only to eXterminate
the disease in the test sections, but
also to discover the most practical, ef-
ficient and economical methods for
continuing the work throughout the
country.
This investigation will fill a long
felt want in Idaho, as the hog death
rate in this state from cholera is 20
per 1000 head, and hog raisers are
losing am average of 5000 hogs, val
ued at $4,000, from this disease an
nually.

BRADY TALKS TO
WAFER USERS

Senator James H. Brady met a
number of citizens of Mountain Home
at the office of the Mountain Home
Irrigation Company, at which Mr.
Brady addressed those present ON mat
ters in connection with the irrigation
system.
The Senator reviewed the history
2 of the project since taking the sys
TEN over, going into every phase OF
the subject, giving the amount OF
money expended and realized.
Il was misled into believing that
the system was in good shape with
the exception of the slide on the
mountain side, and it has required tn
expenditure of many thousands OF
dollars more than had anticipated -
However, / am going to complete
the system just as fast as it it pos
sible Tor money and labor to so do.
A great deal of work must be done
enlarging the canals at this end OF
the system and | will put fifty teams
to work as soon as | cam get them"
Mr.. Brady spoke at length on the
unfortunate break in the tunnel and
that it was his intention to cement
the tunnel and thus avoid further
trouble from this source.
Mr.. Brady asked the people to stand
by him, that in the end all would come
out all right, but in the meantime we
must do what we can to promote and
assist in the consummation of the
present plans of the enterprise.

"JUVENlLE BoSToNIANS"

A glitter of the gala briliancy of a
complete new set of costumes AM
scenic inVestiture, the singing and
dancing throng of youthful femininity-
note, the cast is feminine to the to-
tai exclusion of mankind, billed as
the famous Juvenile Bostonian Opera
Company, will chant a merry greet
ing to theatre-goers of Mountain
Home when the much talked of or
ganization comes to the Standard
Theatre for a limited engagement of
one night, Monday, November 80.
The Bostonian Juveniles have a
standing that is too good and too
long maintained to require introduc-
ton; this is the company's eleventh
successful year on tour, and its fixed
place in national theatricals has es-
tablished it as an institution with a
popularity peculiarly its own. 1t is
necessary only to say that all the sew
eral dainty little stars who scored so
tremendously in previous seasons are
returning, including happy-go-lucky
Thorn Hellam, Doris Garfield, Dixie
White, Billee O'Neill, Ina Mitchell,
Halcyon Clark, and Patsie Henry.
''The Dream Girl" in which the
youngsters will be seen here is a
veritable gem of opera. It's music
has irresistible rythm and jingle, its
melodies are the kind whose strains
stay with you and over and over
keep coming to mind; and its dances,
gay and fast, as diverting as they are
novel. The stage mounting, colorful
and pretentious, with beWildering eff
feets OF mechanical genius, provides
a splendid background for the whirl-
wind Of action involved in the work
ing out of the plays interesting
story, story that has plot and inter-
est of its own and is not the mere
framework to hang a mass of fea-
tured songs and sprightly dance mum.

but in comparison with the boy s game
it was pretty slow. The High School
boys displayed great skill in their
manner of playing and dexterity In
getting over the floor so quickly.
The High School pupils, especially
the girls, We're very excited when they
thought the High School boys were
going to win, but We are just as
proud of our boys as if they had
won, though the score was % to q
in favor of the town team.
The High School boys wore their
new suits for the first time. The
suits are made of the High School
colors, the trunks being white and
