FIRST GERMAN PICNIC
BR0UHT BIG CROWD
Unfayorable Weather Kept Many at
Home But Day Was Much Enjoyed

The first annual picnic OF the Ger
man society was held yesterday at
Warm Springs, several hundred peo-
pie being In attendance. People kept
coming and going all day, and during
the day probably seven or eight hun
dred people visited the grounds, al
though probably not more than half
that nupber were present at one time.
About 8 o'clock there were fifty auto
mobiles on the ground ana as many
or more teams. The day was threat
ening and little too chilly for per-
feet comfort, but all had a good tlme
nevertheless. People brought picnic
lunches and all were we'll fed, There
was a lunch stand to serve those who
did not bring lunches. Music and
games were enjoyed throughout the
day and all had pleasant time.
This is the beginning OF new an
nual holiday for Power county peo-
pie, and 1t is destined to be one OF
the most popular. With favorable
weather the attendance would easily
have been 1900 to 1000. Addresses
were delivered by Rev. Wuest and Rev.
Radke.

MINSTREL SHOW JUNE 8.
Library Benefit Promises to Be Best
Show of the Season.

Friday, June 8. will be a red-letter
day in American Falls. That date has
been fixed upon for the minstrel by
members of the Board of Trade for the
benefit of the library. For several
weeks Manager Griswold has been
herding his stars together for prac-
tice and new feels that they are ready
for the most critical public. There are
thirty-five stars of the first magnitude
in the show, each one promising to
produce the hit of the evening. DR..
Moth and Henry Lang in Dutch skit,
will be among those IN the spotlight.
They performed at the last Board of
Trade minstrel, in 1910, and try hard
as they can, people have never been
able to forget their turn" There
will be blackface comedy, new songs,
rolicking southern melodies, excellent
quartettes, and a baritone solo by
Charles Hammock. The attractions
will be so great that the price of ad-
mission will be entirely forgotten.
The attendance should be record
breaking. The only thing better than
the entertainment in town will be the
library itself.

FAIRS IN POWER COUNTY
FOSTER PROPER SPIRIT
Miss Kelly Tells OF Community Gath
erings Which Means Much to Resi-
dents.

Community fairs, which are unique
in Power county, the effective work
of Miss Madge Whistler, county su-
perintendent, and A. w. Kjosness,
county agent, are doing much to fos-
ter the community spirit and to bring
cording to Miss Amy Kelly of the uni
versity extension department of the
University of Idaho, who has just re-
turned from attendance upon a series
of the fairs.
"The people in these communities
are not old friends nor have they any
common bond such as pioneers have"
said Miss Kelly, "but through their
interest in the growth of the COM
munity, they come out In large num-
bers, riding many miles, to the school
houses to attend these fairs.
"At Cedar Ridge they have a fine
schoolhouse. In the basement is a big
assembly room in which the fairs are
held and dances and plays given for
the grownups as we'll as the young
people.
Bread Wins High Praise.
"The bread exhibit at the Cedar
Ridge fair was the most delicious /
ever judged. The hamlet is in the
midst of the dry farm wheat section,
and the bread speaks volumes for the
wheat. The women bring their bread
and cake and preserves to be judged
and there is always children's de-
partment also. The men bring their
stock to be judged.
AT Rockland the fair was equally
good, and also at Arbon. / am going
back to the latter place later In the
season for an all day session when ]
will give a bread demonstration.
II wish could give you little idea
of the fine spirit at these three places
The women brought "a picnic lunch
and all ate dinner together and in the
evening dancing was enjoyed. Theil
work is fine example for other com
munities." Boise Statesman.
