"WILLOWDALE"

To Miss Eva Stevens and those who
took part in the play "Willowdale"
at the Idle Hour theater on Friday
and Monday evenings, the public is
indebted for a very pleasant even
ing's entertainment. Hometalent
plays are usually interesting, but this
was of character that would do
justice to a travelling organization,
instead of body of busy students,
who of necessity are allowed but a
limited time for rehearsal
Students composing the cast of
characters were:
Charley Warren, Don Mcfarland,
Quincy Adams. Willie Jones. Ray
mond Wolf, William Deck, Harold
Linn, Clara Raymond, Pearl Stalker
Myrtle Beasley, Floy Percifield,
Bertha McKie, Cassie Palmer, Nellie
Stalker, Gertrude McSparran, Alva
Hawks, Floyd Rowen. and are stu
dents from the senior and junior
classes of the Meridian rural high
school.
The scene is laid in rural COM
munity, where rugged honesty wins
out In contest with deep-laid plan
OF scheming, INSCRIPTIONS lawyer,
(well sustained by Charley Warren)
who has designs on the fortune of
Mile Bassett, the store keepers
pretty daughter. This part was TAX
en- by Miss Clara Raymond and was
acted In very clever manner.
The store keeper, was played by
Don Mcfarland, and Quincy Adams
was the successful sutton, after the
schemes of Joseph Godfrey we're
twarted. Both were we'll played, as
were the parts of the schoolmaster
by William Deck, the minister by
Harold Linn, the choir leader by Will
lie Jones, the whittier by Raymond
Wolfe and the true friend by Myrtle
Beasley. Nellie Stalker, Gertrude
McSparran. Alva Hawks, and Floyd
Rowan also played we'll.
Miss Hazey, who imagined things,
was difficult part but we'll acted by
Miss Floy Percifield. Oleander, the
porhouse girl. who thinks life joke,
captivated the audience and her reel
tation was one of the hits of the even
ing. Oleander was played by Miss
Bertha McKie. Mrs. Bassett, Joel's
wife, was played by Miss Pearl Stalk
er. and while she is general fav-
orite with Meridian audience. and
carries any part in a pleasing man
ner, 1t was remarked that Pearl is
so good in the role of winsome
young lady that the audience misses
something when she is not given the
chance to present such character.
Altogether. however, the entertain
ment was fine. the audiences were
large. the receipts, clear, about
SIS. and the effort well repaid those
who had charge.

EAGLE CHEEsE FACTORY

From the Star Courier.
BY the middle of next week the
Eagle cheese factory will resume OPP
erations under new ownership. The
deal for the purchase of the plant
by the Boise Cooperative Creamery
company has been consumated and
Just as soon as the machinery can
be overhauled and things gotten In
to shape the factory will start the
manufacture of an excellent quality
OF cheese.
The deal for the purchase OF the
factory has been In progress for
some time. Under ownership of
the Boise Valley Cheese & Butter
company operation of the plant
was discontinued several months
ago and litigation between the
partners of the concern is now In
progress.
Attention OF stockholders of the
Boise Cooperative Creamery COM
pany, which is so successfully con-
Quoting the cheese factory at Meri-
dian, was called to the abandoned
Eagle plant. A little solicitation on
the part of officers of this company
showed strong sentiment among
local ranchers for the reopening Of
the plant. Approximately. two thou
sand dollars worth of stock was
promptly pledged by ranchers tribu-
tary to Eagle as means of taking
over the factory II deal could be
closed with the litigating owners.
After some delay the purchase of
the building and equipment was ac-
complished.
Officers of the Boise Cooperative
say that an experienced cheese maxi
er has been secured and that just as
soon as the overhauling of the plant
is completed operations will start.
They hope to start buying milk by
next Mnday but may be delayed two
or three days longer than that.
One of the reasons given by the
former owners for shutting down the
plant was inability to dispose of
the product. The present owners
anticipate not the least truble along
this line. They have found a ready
market for the carload OF cheese
turned out each month at Meridian
and declare they would experience
no difficulty In selling three times
that amount SO long as the quality
of the product is kept up to standard.
The dairy industry ha sheen de-
veloping rapidly here and the farm
ers are greatly pleased over the pros
pect of having a good local market
for their milk

In Southern Idaho the two best
grapes to grow are Brighton and
Campbells EARLY They must be
planted alternately to insure good
polination. II farmers would plant
an acre devoted to these two varie-
ties they would find 1t the most
profitable acre on the farm. The

CARRIERS OF GERMS.

The medical profession has
known for long time that one Of
the menaces to which health is
exposed is the infectious material
often carried and unconsciously
expelled by seemingly healthy
persons and animals, but the true
Importance of this tact has 1eguh
to receive the wide recognition it
merits only in recent years.
To-day we know that many per-
sons after recovery from typhoid
fever continue to discharge ty-
phOid germs from their bodies anL
that such persons cause numerous
cases of typhoid fever unless they
are properly controlled, and we
know that exposure TO u,ptn,-
liberia, even when it does not lead
to the development of disease,
means that the exposed individ-
ual often becomes a carrier Of
diptheria germs, which are iocat-
ed in his throat, a region from
which they are expelled in a way
dangerous 60 the health Of snseep-
tible persons. And we also know
that this same problem of seem
ingly healthy carriers and dis
seminators Of disease germs must
be given careful consideration be-
cause Of its bearing on the health
of our domestic animals.
The possibility that animals
may become persistent carriers of
disease germs is not limited to
any one or any kind of disease.
For example. if we take three dis
eases. southern cattle fever, in
fectious abortion of cattle, and
foot-and-mouth disease. we have
one which is caused by an animal
rnicro-organism, one my a vege-
table microore anism or true
bacterium. and one by an undis-
tinugished, probably nltramicro-
