"You precious baby, Just listen
to this. An invitation to a party.
and Helen read,
Dear Helen"
I'VE are planning a Xmas party
for the babies, Thursday, Dec. 81.
3 P. M.
Bring a present for one child. The
value of this present should not ex-
coed ten cents.
Yourself and Billy are cordially
invited"
Jane"
Billy Boy gurgled and laughed,
looking so wise that Helen almost
believed he understood every word.
When John came home to dinner
that night Helen told him of the in
vitation to the party.
How many babies will be thcre?''
he asked right away.
ooh you are thinking of the
danger of infection and that sort of
thing 'she replied" I thought of it
too so telephoned to Jane this after
noon and she said there would not be
more than a dozen and that it was
well understood that sick babies,
even those with colds, were to stay
at home. l think it is quite safe,
and the dear baby wants to go.
Don't you Billy Boy? land Helen
Rugged Billy rapturously.
The next day was cold but Billy
didn't mind the weather. He was
wrapped up well and slipped into a
soft warm bag that did not allow
his hands or feet to get outside. All
Of nf
bright eyes for his little Lood, muf-
fler and bag covered tho rest.
His mother walked fast but his
cab was easy and the faster it went
the better he liked it. The world
seems pretty good to baby that has
had long nap, even if he is late to a
party on account of it.
When Helen and Billy reached the
house Jane came to help them up the
steps.
Dear me, but this is heavy cab"
she exclaimed as she tugged at one
end of it, for the steps were awkward
Eyes, I know it is heavy to lift,
but it runs easy if kept we'll oiled.
John wouldn't have any other kind.
He says it stands to reason that light
cabs jolt babies too much and may
1nJure their SplneS" and Helen lifted
Billy out bag and all while Jane car
ried in the pillows and robe so they
would be warm when he started
home.
Most of the guests arrived earlier
so when Billy was unwrapped he was
the center of attraction to the group
of mothers and older children
Billysoon tired of being handled
and felt better after he was propped
in big chair where he could see the
many wonderful things in this strange
place.
1t was all very fine but he liked
best to watch the children jumping
around and laughing in glee at the
little Xmas tree with it's load of
presents was uncovered.
His eyes got big and shiny when

AS Helen tucked him in his bed

F. C. MCGOWAN returned yesterday

Evans, state republican : airman, and
predicts a republican vi tory IN the
November election. The work of the
party was to present some changes
recommended to the peol If the state,

"We have organized over 80 clubs
in 10 counties of the state and over

PEOPLE COMPLAIN
E CAN'T REGISTER
in Latah C1dnC

Though the county authorities have
been repeatedly notified that no con-
stituted registrar was located in Four
, Mile precinct, which includes the vii
lage of Viola, the Oldest town in La
tab county, SO far as can be learned
no effort has been made by either
the county commissioners or the chief
registrar, otherwise the auditor and
recorder, to correct this fragrant neg
lect, and as result possibly fifty res
idents of the district have been de-
prived of their right to become reg
istered for the primary election. Such
is the information that became avail
able several days ago, and today, A.
w. Bolles, the pioneer merchant of
Viola, stated that many residents of
the precinct have complained of the
failure of the county authorities to
supply a registrar for the precinct.
"The 9anty authorities have been
notified that there was no registrar in
Il
that a Justice of the peace be named in
the precinct, but we have not been
favored, SO far as we know said Mr.
Bolles today. MANY of those who
were unable to become registered for
the primary election did not have
knowledge of how they would exer-
else their right to vote under the CIR
cumstances, but it has been learned
since that their votes may be sworn in
on the day of election. Of course they
could go to Moscow to be registered,
suppose"
Under the law all justice of the
peace and notary publics are author
lied to take the oath of registration,
but the oldest town in Latah county,
Viola, located in Four Mile precinct,
is without either justice of the peace
or notary public, SO far as known.

Washington and assisted in organic
ing Canyon and Ada counties. The
south and southeast are being organ
lied by Vice Chairman Shad Hodgin
and Secretary Chas. E. Elmer.
Our trip over the north and south
highway was a revelation to the
members of the party. Its scenic
beauty and rugged grandeur are im-
possible of description. 1t must be
seen to be appreciated. One of the
,egrettable things about it is that a
very few thousand dollars would
make it passable for the tourist in
autos, but in it's present condition it
is really not safe passage-way for
automobile traffic.
"As soon as the primaries are over
meeting of the Moscow Hughes
club will be called for the purpose of
perfecting it's organization. l believe
that proportional to its population,
we ought to have here the largest
Hughes club in the state"
