LOW over this country for one time
bbys and girls. A one time boy is
boy who will do what he is told to do
Nist one time. Not two times, but
me time. A one time girl is a girl
Tho will do what she is told just the
xery first time she is told. For ex-
nipple: Mamma says run close the
dor" That once telling ought to be
enough, but often it happens that the
1irie must be told twice and some
lines three times and l have known
81 them being told as many as five
INES Well, now, that is not one
lime girl at all. She is five times
oirl. Now the Hired Man is looking
bout over the country to see how
many one time boys and girls he can
Iocate. l wish mammas and papas
would help me out on this by keeping
ii watch over little children. Cut this
niece out and paste it on the kitchen
E5vall, or dining room wall, at some
olacc where it can be seen any time.
AZ Christmas time | am going to see
low many names l have on my list.
In order to become a one time boy
81 girl, that one must live a whole
week with one time telling on each
hing.
The Hired Man was over in Boise
The other day and was invited out into
i nice garden to see some very fine
pumpkins The man had taken all but
Two off the vines he was expecting
10 much from. He had cut the vine
hack a good deal and had one cut
end submerged in paid of clean
water, and ON the opposite side of the
hill he had another cut end stuck in
some scientifically prepared soil. The
vine was sucking in food and drink at
the same time and the pumpkin was
Rrowing just as rapidly as it's hide
WOULD allow. He had about six or
even of these artificially fed pump
kins and they were daisies indeed.
He had loblolly soil raised little
above the level of the pumpkin SO the
81 treat big lazy thing could just lie
here in the sun and loll its tongue
out and get food any time day or
light, and wash it down with that
Vice clean water in the pail. He would
INST talk of that pumpkin like it was a
pig or child and encourage it to just
= lump itself and win the prize at the
fair. | presume the gentle voice of
some human does really help even
pumpkin, and l think that fellow will
surely go to Heaven when he dies.
The other day the Hired Man was
called back into back yard to get
Woman out of cistern. She had put
Il ladder down in the cistern and
squeezed herself down through the
hole at the top. When she was ready
to come out, she had either grown
Some or else the opening had closed
up. At least she was too plump to get
out and she had to call to me for as
sistance. The rounds on the ladder
The i'll fated thing-came just wrong
Tor the plump woman to step on. Her
knee came against the top in just such
q way that she couldn't make the next
step. There she was and l was called
10 help her There were no children
present that l could send for help and
no men or women around, so the
whole matter fell upon me for adjust
ment. She was half out and little
more than half in the cistern. Well,
handed her rope and told her to
tie it about her in some way so it
would do good service when pulled on
it. This failed out time or two, for
j was trying to lift the curbing on
which l stood as we'll as the plump
woman in the hole. We changed the
rope time ior two and finally got it
under her arms. | gave good steady
yank and out came the great big cork
and she was free.
The Hired Man was over to New
Plymouth one day last week and must
say that that village is the most ar
tistically laid-out burg he has ever
seen. 1t is a great big good-luck
horseshoe with two streets running
around about where the nails ought tc
be. | was in several of the homes
which | found beautifully kept and
artistically arranged and furnished
The people are up-to-date, industrious
and hopeful. The stores do goot
business and carry splendid stocks If
& their line. The school is first elias:
and supplied with the best corps O
teachers that money could hire ano
opens with every encouraging
promise. A perfect thong of boys ano
girls in their teens were seen NOV
III ing to and fro toward the big mod
IS ern school building and gentlenes
was present on every hand. A Dime
bell at the Chadwick hotel foretolc
s the approach of early morning and a
even tide at darkness all was quie
and still. That is splendid place t.
raise boys and girls. Thirtysevel
8 young men and young women lief
the burg and its bailiwick in thi
M month for their outside school an,
M business and labors. A better set o
young people has not left anothe
valley in the state Wake up to wher
81 New Plymouth is.
