Price Outlook
Very Good
New York Fruit Buyer Says
Country's Fruit Crop Is Short
Predicts That Prices This Year
Will be Good.

A Mr.. Day, member of the well
known fruit commission house OF
Scobel and Day, of New York, was
in Boise last week. Mr.. Days trip
through the west was for the purpse
of making an inspection of the big
fruit growing districts of the west. To
number of fruit growers in the Boise
valley he made the statement that
tie prospects for good prices tbs
year were very bright, owing to a
general shortage of the crop caused
by uDfavorably weather conditions.
While all fruit in the middle west
and extreme east is considerably
short this year, the peach crop is
exceptionally short Michigan will
have only 65 per cent of a crop,
which will be consumed in and
around Chicago. From the New
York and New Jersey district the out
put will be about 500 cars as against
) 900 shipped last year. The crop
in the southern states except Gsorg-
"a is very short Texas is badly in
ured, Colorado and Utah Will have
| fair crop. -

WOULD REIMBURSE
THEIR TREASURY
Granqe Plans Entertainment to Sc
cure More Funds-Woud Entertain
State Grange January Next.

Having given 500 to the rebuilding
of the Y. NJ. c. A. in Payette and
also contemplating the proper enter
tainment of the state Grange which
meets in Payette next January the
local Grange feels that it is time IL
was getting the treasury in shape to
do these things in a proper manner.
Consequently its members have pre-
pared to give "The Corner Drug
Store" a delightful comedy in which
is portrayed the antics of the deaf
and ailing patent medicine fiend, the
Doctor, the undertaken, the young
druggist and his charming cashier,
the rousing songs and yells of college
boys and girls and other features
equally interesting.
AS originally advertised tie play
was to be given on the evening of
May 14th in the l. o. o. F. hall but
owing to other entertainments post
ponment has been made to the even
ing of May 29th. The time has and
is being devoted by those having the
play in charge to practicing and get

Business Men
Defeat GroWers
BY a Score of Seven to Fourteen
Payette Business Men Put TIE
Toboggan Under the Fruit Growers
Team Tuesday.

Securing a half Ne,son and a
strangIe hold on the fruit growers
team on Tuesday evening the Pay
ette business men beat them to the
tune of seven to fourteen. One of
the largest crowds ever on the ground
gathered to witness the contest and
close to S1OO was taken in at the
gate which will be turned over t
the Y. NJ. c. A. building fund.
Previous to the game the growers
were met near the city limits by the
band and escorted to the grounds.
Mayor Compton pitched the first
three balls and Secretary John Harad'
er OF the Payette Valley Commerc;a
Club tried to stop them. He suc-
ceeded in falling on the last one.
The business men took the field
and blanked the growers in the first
inning. The business men then pro-
eeeded to wauop the horseh.de all
over the diamond until six runs were
garnered, and we omit the s.ckening
details of the balance of the game.
Suffice to say that seven innings
were played and when the smoke OF
battle had cleared away the business
men had garnered fourteen rurf
and the prune pickers but seven,
The feature Of the game was a
wonderful throw by DR.. Baker who
pegged one from deep right fled tc
third catching the runner with
three feet to spare.

JOHN BARRYMORE, DRAMATIC
FAVORITE, IN CELEBRATED
COMEDY IAN AMERICAN

At The Emma Sat. May %.

At The Emma Sat. May %.
The venerable expression, History
repeats ITSELF" has found new
significance in the productions of
the Famous Players, which repeat in
motion pictures the history of the
oral dramas greatest successes.
John Barrymore, one of the most
popular favorites of the American
stage, in AN American Citizen" the
famous comedy suecezs in which Nat
Goodwin scored one of his greatest
triumphs, is supplied with numerous
opportunities to display his express
i've and inim:table abilities. Mr..
Barrymore will secure in this humor-
Gus Characterization the same sens
ational degree of success ttat attend
ed "The Fortune Hunter" the tital-
az role of which he created.
"An merican Citizen" is a delight
fully human drama of adventures and
misadventures, fortunes and mis-
fortunes. 1t portrays an exciting
trans-continental romance, in which
any number of comic complications
centre about a young American, who
in the midst of his defeats and vic
tories, never forgets his patriotism,
though for a time due TO a chival-
rous impulse, he is forced tot oreeo
his American citizenship, which he
eventually regairs, together with
love and fortune.

School Exhibit
Pleases Many
Patrons View With Pride Work IN
Art, Domestic Science and Manual
Training Departments of Schools
An Exhibit Worth While.

A large number of Payette citizens
viewed, the annual school exhibit held
in the Woodward building on Friday
and Saturday of last week. The pro
grams were enjoyed and the affaiI
certainly afforded an opportunity for
the patrons to get a practical demon
stration of what is being accomplish
! ed in the schools along the line of art
domestic science and manual training.
Perhaps Saturday evening was the
biggest one of all in point of atten-
dance and the big room was literally
thronged all evening long by inter
ested parents who were viewing with
considerably satisfaction and pride
the exhibits in each department.
In the domestic science department
there were about threee hundred art
icles on exhibition all of which had
been made by the pupils beside
nice exhibit of cooked food also pre-
pared by the pupils in that depart
ment. A especial feature of the ex-
hibit in this department was that of
two graduating dresses which had
been made by two of the girl gradua-
tcs of the class of 1914. Ono was
made at a total cost of SO cents the
other at $1.O9. Both were delightful
creations and surely demonstrated the
value of young girls knowing how.
The art exhibit consisted CT some
work from each of the grades so ar
ranged as to show the progress from
first to the eight grades. 1t was GER
tainly commendable exhibit and re-
ceived many compliments from these
viewing it.
In the manual training department
there was perhaps as much of a sur
prise for the parents of the boys as
there had been in the domestic
science department. This exhibit
consisted of probably one hundred
pieces of furniture made by the pupils
of this department and by the way
they were not all made by boys eth
er. A Morris chair fit to grace any
home was made by young lady and
a medicine chest which was certainly
a marvel of neatness was also made
by young lady but we failed toI
notice any pies, cakes or dresses that
had been made by the boys in the
domestic sciene class.
All of the work in the manual train
ing exhibit was certainly up to very
high standard and certainly demon
strated that throughness was being
used in that department.
The program given Saturday even
ing under the direction of Prof. Nell
son was also one of the very merton
ious and enjoyable features of the
evening.
Many times since has the writer
heard the remark that the exhibit
was certainly far ahead of their ex-
pectations nd the best the schools
had ever put up.

Payette Wins
Easy Victory
Standing of Clubs.
Payette Ball Team Defeats Weiser 7
to 3.-Weiser Unable to Stop Pay
cite SIuggers-Payette Now Leads
the League.

Say people, do you know we had a
ball game Sunday? Well we did. We,
(that is the team went down to
Weiser, and cfeaned them up Sunday.
RnS1ae was nothing to it. The won
derfui Knockleby who we have heard
so much about started off for Weiser.
The Weiser manager showed rare
Judgment in taking him out in the
fourth inning. From the way the
Payette boys piled up the score in
the third it looked as though We
were there for the night.
The first two innings were rather
tight but in the third Dibble came
up for three bagger. Shake struck
out and King followed with a single
scoring Dibble. Bowden singled and
Senner run bases for him. Hall came
up tor two basger scoring King.
Bowman got to first on fie' ders
choice Senner being caught out at
third Bowman stole second and
Arnspiker singled scoring Hall. Shafer
knocked a high one to Brockman in
center field who dropped it allowing
the three men on bases to score. Dib-
BILE came up for the second time that
inning and made the third out by
dropping one out to first.
Payette scored again in the fifth
when Hall got to first on an error he
stole second and got to third on Bow
mans single. Hall sprained his
ankle while sliding to third and
Woodward finished his base running
by scoring on Ensigns hit to second.
Payette did not score any more
during the entire game and it looked
as though it would not be necessary
with a lead of runs.
Weiser was not very successful In
placing any hits and in the sixth
succeeded in scoring Holdrider who
singled stole second and scored on
an overthrow to second. In the ninth
Weiser punched their hits and scored
two runs before Payette could tight
en- up on them.
The game was fairly clean game
straight through. The Payette team
played good base ball all the time and
do credit to their manager and coach
Tom Seymour. Tom understands the
game and he knows how to make the
boys work. enthusiasm; that's what
makes ball players. Payette certain
ly had it .Weiser Bowden despite
his crippled foot, played the entire
game. In fact everyone was on the
Job. You have to give it to the
team they are ball players.
Murphy and Smith umpired the
game.
