CELEBRATED GOLDEN
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

On December 9th occurred the
golden wedding anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. M. H. Miller, who reside al
1907 Albany Street.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller were married
in Lynn county, Iowa, December g.
1905, making Iowa their home until
about twelve years ago, when they re-
moved to Idaho and have since been
Caldwell residents.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller had planned a fitting celebra-
ton for the unusual event, but owing
to the illness of the worthy couple it
could not be held. They were the
recipients of many letters of congrat-
uiation and a purse of gold from their
old home in Iowa, also a wedding
cake from neice of Mrs. Millers
Mrs. Stearns of Thief River Falls.
Minnesota.
The Caldwell friends were repre-
scented as follows: Mrs. Ed. Miller
from the Presbyterian church, Mrs
ennie Stout from the w. c. T. u:
Mrs. Mobus, the near neighbors; and
Or. Dora A. Weymouth, the old-timc
friends.
These ladies visited Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller early in the evening bearing
the good wishes of the host Of
friends who would have been with
them had it been deemed advisable;
also basket of delicacies and a purse
of gold. After extending the worthy
couple the congratulations and good
wishes of their townsmen, DR.. Wey-
mouth read the following origina
versus which she had written for the
occasion.
The day was as fine as you had seen
On Dec. sixth nineteen fifteen.
The place 1907 Albany Street,
In Canyon County's county-seat.
The fire was low. the room was dark,
For care must be taken of MATHS
sweetheart,
Who for several days had had tussle
With Mr.. Grip in every muscle.
AS. he hustled at the various tasks.
And gave answer to the questions
asked,
His thoughts were very much alive
And oft would turn to this date
1865.
Though to sentiment he was little
given,
His usual reserve this day was
riven.
Rarely fifty years of married life
Is given in this day to husband and
wife.
When this from his thoughts he could
not shake,
Bashiully in his. her hands did take,
And said, Dear Mag it's our wedding
day!
Did you remember it. say, Mag
say?"
I'm the fifty years we have lived to-
gether.
We've seen some very stormy
weather.
But through it all we have each been
To what we promised the minister
to do"
1--WE have loved each other and tried
to do right,
As near as we could in the dear
Lords sight.
He's blessed us. by letting us this
night see,
So now let's be happy as we can
be-"
When bark! on the door resounds a
rap
That would wake Rip Van Wrinkle
from his long nap.
In come friends. loving and true.
Who said, WED spend this even
ing with you"
This day We wished you'd remember
long,
As few are gifted in word or song
Many have sent to you their thoughts.
Hoping you will read them Just as
you ought"

Mrs. Russell will give a musical and
Evolutionary number. Mrs. Russell
has received her training at good elo-
cutionary schools in Illinois, as has
her daughter received her musical
education. They are well recommend

The suits will be ordered as soon as
twelve have paid their money to the
treasurer, Mr.. Bardsley.

Sunday school in connection with the

The Schubert lady soloists have a
combined range of voices of consider

the usual singers and some of their
selections have been written and ar
ranged especially for them.

BATTLE FOR EIGHT-HOUR DAY is ON BEFORE
ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE

prevailed because of the piecework
system which keeps the women
working at top speed for ten hours a
day to earn enough to live.
Francis Kfduff, pres. of the Ill. Re
tail Dry Goods assn, did not openly
oppose the bill. Instead he suggest
ed several ways to delay it indefn-
itely., ..-
He advocated a subcommittee
which would make an investigation
in Chicago and other cities. This
would take several weeks. He also
urged that if the eight-hour day was
established that it be done gradually
and pleaded against legislation which
would disorganize every concern in
the state which employed women.

Miss Nestor replied she had no aU-

After a warm argument the chair

addresses.
Oscar F. Nelson, state factory in
spector, told of the weaknesses of
the present ten-hOur law and sug-
gested changes in form for the new
law if enacted.
''The same argument against this
bill was used against the eight-hour
law for miners" said pres. John
Walker of the Ill. Federation Of
Labor. ''Now, every operator in the
state will admit the conditions are
better than they were before. I per-

REASONABLE HINTS FOR THE
FLOWER GARDEN.
B. W. ANSPON,
Maryland Agricultural College.

At this season of the year one finds
many insects infesting the flower gar
den. The rose is frequently attacked
by the rose slug, a small green worm
which chews holes in the leaves. To
control this pest spray the plants thor.
oughly with arsenate Of lead at the
rate of one ounce to two gallons of
water.
Plant lice of various kinds are fire
Quently found on a number of plants
These are sucking insects that infest
the young shoots of many flowers. On
nasturtiums and chrysanthemums they
may De found on the young shoots. On
these plants the black forms are found.
On sweet peas and roses we find the
green forms A red form is generally
found on the golden glow. To con.
troll these insects spray the plants in.
Tested with a nicotine solution, O!
which there are many brands on the
market. A very simple remedy that
has given good results is a soap solu,
ton This can be made by dissolving
quarter pound of laundry soap in a
gallon Of water. This solution can be
used in connection with the nicotine ex.
tract, acting as sticker for the latter
Go over he flower borders and re-
move all faded flowers since these left
go to seed and will impair the Towering
of the plants. Where one wishes to
save the seed of certain plants select
only the best flowers and allow them
to go to seed. In cutting the blown
flowers on roses cut the shoot back
to within two to three buds or eyes
from the main stalk.
Plants that have made a strong
growth and need support should be
staked. Sow seed Of pansy now.
Many Of the quick terminating hardy
perennials may be sown now. Among
this class are larkspurs, calumbines,
hoilyhocks, sweet williams, foxglove,
ete These will make a good growth
by fall 50 that they can be transplanted
into the cold frame. The following
year they will be ready to bloom.
Select a sheltered spot in the flower
garden and thoroughly prepare 1t for
the seed bed. Sow the seed in drills
and when large enough transplant to
the cold frame.
Write to the seedsmen now for their
TALL bulb catalogues. Select your bulbs
and place order early for bulbs for fall
planting

YOUR HOME TOWN.

The next time you drive into town,
just ponder what your town really means
to you and what it would mean
IN case it were twice as large and
twice as good town as it is
now. Think how much more the town
has done for you than you have done
for the town. And when we speak
about the town we mean the entire
community, because the interests of
the town are inseperable. What
benefits one benefits another
Remember how many times you have
heard man say. my farm adjoins
town. Why should he be particularly
proud of that fact? Isn't land sixteen
miles away from town just as fertile?
Won't it raise just as much corn? OF
course it will. Then why does the
fellow who is close the town keep harp
ing about it all the time? Well, here
is the answer:
He knows that land close to town is
more valuable. There is a short haul
to market crops, convenience in obtain
ing supplies and many social and educa-
tional advantages not possible for the
man sixteen miles in the country. The
man close to town knows these things.
Moreover, he knows that you know them
too. That's why he is always saying,
my farm adjoins town." Why
shouldn't he be proud? You are proud
when you have the best team Of horses
in the neighborhood, or the best cattle
or the finest hogs. All of US are proud
when the things we own are of the
best-and farm is no exception to the
rule, Who wouldn't be proud to own
the best farm IN the community?
The distance from town does add tc
or detract from the value of your farm
and the better the town, the more the
price of farm land in the vicinity is
affected. Then why not boost you,
town and get the benefit?

FALL SEEDING WILL IMPROVE
HAY CROP.
Is Recommended To Farmers Desiring
Good Stand OF Grass Next Year.
NICHOLAS SCHNFTZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Owing to the dry spring and owing
to the severe heaving and thawing late
last winter and the dry season early
in the spring. many farmers find that
BY have very poor stand of both
Xhnothy and clover IN their wheat
stubble. The question IN many cases
is how to provide for profitable hay
crop next season. Under such condi.
tons the best way to provide for a hay
crop next spring is to pillow the wheat
stubble down and prepare a very firm,
finely pulverized seeded. This, of
course. will involve extra labor but
the increased yield and quality of hay
next year will more than pay for the
extra labor. A full crop win be ready
for cutting next June or early July
which will be the same time as if the
stand seeded in the wheat had been
