w. w. Nusbaum has rented thu
rooms over the Hawkins hardwar,
store and will move in next week so as
to be ready to begin his work as
music instructor in the city schools
The melon season is quite late this
year, it being at its best now and will
be short at the best
Jim Bell is out contracting wheat
for Boise firm, but the sudden drop
in prices is causing the farmers to be
slow in selling.
An agent for bonding company
was looking over the drainage dis
trict Saturday The commissioners
expect to get things shaped up in a
short time so that construction work
can be started.
Elmer Newman went TO Caldwell
last week and brought back Tin
Lizzie. 1t has four wheels and some
times a flat wheel, but Elmer drives
it right along just the same. In fact
Elmer thinks that rubber tires are
rich mans hobby anyway.
w. w. Nusbaum and C. G.. Burt
went to Nyssa last week to see the
drainage project that Engineer Dodge
has been telling about. They found
that the drainage district has only
been laid out and that the lawful
technicalities will all have to be gone
through with yet. In fact, they are
about where this district was year
ago. There are few farmers there
who have gone together and are put
ting in drainage of their own. This
they are putting down from II to l6
feet.
Frank Newman and wife went up
on the Smith Ferry excursion and
spent a week visiting pa and ma over

The Wells and Landers families re-
turned last Thursday from a two
weeks onting it Scott valley. 1t is
sure the place TO go if you are hunt
ing for cool weather, as it freezes ice
every night. There We're plenty of
and fish, but Jack Lit
lie said they were the widest fish
ne ever saw and we sure believe they
are. The freeze hurt all the grain
and timothy seed in Long valley, so
hat most everyone was cutting it for
nay. 1t was a nice outing and every
,udy enjoyed it. There were no
black cats to run across the road,
neither did we see any while we were
,ut. Nevertheless, the Wells family
ost a suit case filled with clothes
IN the way back and now necessarily
rave to stay mostly around home, and
We hope that cold weather will hold
IF for some time yet.

Brown Jones is a dictionary fiend.
He loves to prowl among the unfre-
quented words and spring surprises
on his friends. The other night he
CHANGED in his ramblings, upon the
word buffet" and found, to his in
tense satisfaction and delight that it
pronounced both ways. That was
enough for Brown Jones. He waited
until his wife had a select evening
party of her literary circle and then
he wandered in and in an handed
manner he referred to the handsome
buffet" that his friend Smith had
purchased. His wife turned red and
frowned The ladies smiled. Seem
ingly oblivious of his supposed break
he went on rubbing it in good-buf-
fetted and buffetted until his wife,
in sheer modification, called him
aside and whispered agonizedly to
him. For heavens sake, John
where did you get that 'buffet'-Ill
never hear the end of it." "Why,
what do you mean, dear? What do
you call it," "Why Buf-fay, of
course, you silly goose" And then
Brown Jones referred to the diction-
airy, but his wife said she didn't care,
it sounded ridiculous anyway.
