Get Into the Boosting Business.
Meridian. Idaho, Dec. s.

Do you know there's lot of people
Sitting round most every town,
Growing like broody chicken,
Knocking every good thing down.
Don't be that kind of cattle.
Cause they amt no use on earth,
But just be a Booster rooster,
Grow and boost for all you're worth.
If your town needs boostin' boost her
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellows willin'
Sail right in. this country's free.
No ones got mortgage on it.
It's just yours as much as his;
If your town is shy of boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
If things don't seem to suit You
An the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with a boostin'
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things should stop again,
We'd be in sorry plight,
You just keep the horn a blowing.
Boost her up with all your might.
If you see some fellow tryin'
For to make some project go,
An you can boost it up trifie,
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not going to knock it,
Just because it amt your shout
But that you're going to boost a littl'
Cause he's got the best thing out.

Meridian High school Notes.

Last Saturday evening witnessed one
OF the merriest parties OF the season.
when the Seniors entertained the
Sophomores and faculty at a Mutt
party. A crowd of about 35 met at
the high school and we're taken to the
home OF Don Mcfarland on a hay
rack, which was brilliantly lighted
with Japanese lanterns. Here a
splendid time was enjoyed and the
novel idea OF a Mutt party was thor
oughly appreciated. The house was
decorated in autumn leaves. Bowls
of purple and white flowers, the Sen
Tor coIors. and purple and gold flow
ers, the High school colors, were on
the tables. Those carrying off prizes
were Drue Beasley, who guessed
the most nut riddles, Laurens Hos
ford who found the most peanuts,and
Harold Linn, who dressed peanut
the most tastefully of any one there.
Later in the evening delicious re-
freshmens,. consisting of nut sand
witches, nut salad, pickles, nut cake
and cocoa were served. The party
broke up at 1870.
