= Band, Colonel Baine, or some c
the other attractions of the course
But when the best talent Of cont
lnent comes to the Payette Valley
would be very foolish for thi
scribe TO remain at home TO game
news when at the Chautauqua on
can hear from the world. This re
porter needs the inspiration Of suci
numbers as are given, and she mos
sincerely hopes her readers to thu
last lad is also attending the Chau
tauqua, for then they will surely
overlook any lack in this week
news.
It was a most unwelcome surprise
that came to the many friends oil
Mr.. and Mrs. R. J. Rowse last week
when It was announced that they ha'
decided to leave Fruitland to make
their home in Independence, Iowa
where two sisters of Mr.. Rowse re-
side. Since coming to Fruitland near
" three years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Rowse have been active in all re-
ligious and philanthropic movements.
Mrs. Rowse was superintendent OF
the Junior department in the Metho-
dist Sunday School, and leader OF
the ladies quartette, member OF the
Board of Stewards, WINS, secre
tary of the Ladies Aid, and an Of
ficer in the local w. C. T. U. 1t
was decided to give these good folks
a real genuine surprise TO cheer
them on their way, and Let them
know that leaving Fruitland would
not lessen the affection of their
many co-workers. Accordingly near
" one hundred people gathered at
the home of Prof. and Mrs: G. w.
Cotton on Wednesday evening, June
Is, and found Mr.. and Mrs. Rowse
already present, though Mr.. Rowse
declared he came unlimited.
Mrs. Grant Fisher read an origin
al poem written in honor OF the
Rowses, and music was rendered by
the Robinson Orchestra, vocal solo

piano duet by Misses Irma Deal,
and Irene Cotton, and Rev. Deal
presented the couple with a grip
which was to remind them of the
grip of inconsistencies upon all at
heir departure; of the grip they
nave on our affections; of the grip
IF friendship; of the grip of the
and lastly Of the grip OF
God upon his children. After when
|, group of junior boys and girls
,ame forward filling the grip with
,ouauets of beautiful flowers as
of the place they &C.
,upy in the children's hearts. The
luartette sang Whispering Leaves
md refreshments of ice cream ano
coffee and cake were served. All
,ang GOD be with you till we meet
again, and all went to their several
ZONES feeling that indeed "Blest is
he tie that binds our hearts IN
Christian love-, and trusting that 1t
shall not be long until once more
hey shall be counted in as citizens
If the Payette Valley.
Friday afternoon, Mr.. and Mrs.
aowse departed for Payette, and
after attending few numbers OF
he Chautauqua, they left on the
hight train Saturday for Iowa. The
aides wrote letters which were
placed within the grip for them TO
'ead on the way; messages from
0ruitland on the way to the cid Iowa
lone. They expect when times are
better to return to Fruitland. A
treat company pray Gods blessing
o rest upon them in all their jour
ley.
Following is an original poem by
Mrs. Grant Fisher which she read
1t the reception for Mr.. and Mrs.
aowse:
When in another state you roam,
Whatever place you're calling
home,
n Iowa or wherever you go
Think just little of Idaho.
When thunders rumble peal on peal
When trees are crashing and
houses reel
When the rain is pouring and winds
do blow
Think just little of Idaho.
When in the grass the chiggers bite
When for the heat you can't sleep
at night
When the drouth dries up the seeds
you SOW
Think just little of Idaho.
