SOME AK

One day during the early part of
the week Henry FitzWater saunteled
into the Republican office with the
stride of a Hercules, and Henry's
size is entirely in keeping with his
stride, too, for he stands 6 foot 6
inches in his stocking feet. The
purpose of his visit was to show
the Republican force new seven
pound AK which he had just received
from Charleston, w. Va. Mr. FitZ-
water is seventy years young and has
cut logs for AZ years in the states of
West Virginia, Maryland Pennsyl-
vania and Oregon, and if there is
anyone in this neck of the woods
who cam cut more logs in day than
Henry he will certainly have to go
some.

GRAND WAR REVIEW
Williams Film Co. Presents Great
Feature at Crystal June f2

To actually see within q few steps
OF ones home the struggle between
men and nations In Europe where
death stalks day and night bringing
vividly TO the mind of the spectator
the horrors of war, is what the VIII
lians Film Company of Boise, Idaho
has usccessfully made possible In the
European war pictures which will be
shown here. None are more spcctacu-
lar; none tell SO true a story of the
terrible fighting that is flooding half
the world with blood Not only are
these moving pictures fascinating but
they tell a moral-the folly Of NOR
tails struggling to kin one another.
The pictures have well been named,
"A Grand Review of the War in Eu-
rope" They were taken by brave
moving picture operators who took
their cameras under the curtain OF
fire, facing many dangers, keeping
step with death in order that they
might procure first hand the photo
graphic story of at least part OF the
war. Their success has made 1t pos
isble for millions of people to have
brought home to them graphic re-
view of the great struggle.
The Williams Feature Film Com
pany secured these films for Idaho
and adjoining states and under It's
auspices they will be shown here.
They are worth their weight in gold,
but believing the people should be
given an opportunity to secure
closer insight of the European con-
flict, the company has made arrange
ments to show the pictures here at
the nominal admission of fifty cents.
The pictures ordinarily would be worth
So a seat to anyone wishing to get
closer view of the mighty conflict
across the ocean.

MORE ABOUT SCHOOL GARDENS
Assistance Of an lrrieator
Boys are Working Faithfully But Need

About six weeks ago a number q
boys in the sixth grade under tht
supervision of their teacher and oul
county superintendent, organized {
Garden Club of ten members. Three
gardens were located as follows
Tract No. upon the Hutchins lots
south OF Mr.. Epperson's; tract No
2 upon the ten lots belonging to j.
w. Caldwell adjoining the Hughes
property; tract No. 3 consisting OF a
half acre near the Bruse home in the
southeast part of town
The boys, most of them, have been
working faithfully clearing and pre-
pairing the ground and many of them
have vegetables up in nice rows and
are quite proud of their work thus
far. But the irrigation problem now
presents itself and they are im need
of help from some person who under
stands irrigation and who can and
will take the time to show them how
to turn the water upon the tracts.
VIII not some public spirited man in
the community take the matter in
hand and volunteer his assistance,
now when the boys need it? The
people OF Mountain Home certainly
appreciate the effort of the organic
ers who have promoted the enter
prise and OF the boys who are striv-
to carry on the work against all OBJ
stacles which present themselves
when any new move is inaugurated,
but do they realize how much help
and cooperation is needed to make
the project a success? The club or
gamizer alone can do very little TO
see the work carried on unless the
parents OF the boys and the public
spirited citizens lend their assist
ance. There is, at present, one more
loC W De ftI upon tidcJ NO dAiu
any industrious boy may secure it by
applying at once to Mrs. Bruneau,
club organizer, who has the direc-
tion of the work. Any lady wishing
to aid the enterprise by contributing
bulbs or slips of ornamental plants
may communicate with Miss Edna
Casey, chairman of the flower com
mittee.
Let us hope that our school gar
dens may be success in Mountain
Home and that next year twice the
of attractive plots will be

GOOD RATION FOR FATTENINe
Improvement In Quality Of Fowls May
BE Had by Using Little Time
Confine In Pen.

Just n little time spent in fattenin,
birds will greatly improve their quail
ity. The following ration has been
recommended by the poultry husband
man of the Nebraska college OF ag
riCulturc as being most cconomica,
for that state. and giving satisfactory
results in f%attening chickens: Sixty
per cent cornmoal. 40 per cont low
grade -four. 90 per cent wheat mid.
dlings. Mix and skim milk to the
consistency OF n batter, and feed
morning and night. Starve tho birds
for twelve hours previous to their
first feeding. This will sharpen their
appotitcs. FattCn for two weeks In
n small pen or crate. until ready for
killing. This will deprive tho fowls Of
exercise. and the muscles will become
soft. Fatty tissue will be taken on
between the muscle nbers. which win
greatly aid in the cooking process.
Don't Kill tho bird when the crop lie
full. Starvc for q hours and provide
all the water they will drink. II tho
chicken is to be roasted, remove the
crop either with the visCcra or by
making an incision next TO the spinal
column. where it will not show when
the bird is severed. The cords or ten.
dons OF tho thigh may he easily re-
moved by partly severing the shank
at the hook Joint. Then, after locat'
ing the cords by making n lengthwise
incIsion in the scaly portion OF the
leg, fastcn the leg securely and pull
steadily until the cords tear loose.
