GROWING Better WHEAT.

In commenting upon this years
crop, the manageme ent of the Pay
cite Mills states that there is a
marked improvement in quality of
this years crop over last year. The
threshing has been better done; the
wheat is cleaner, and there is less
broken grain and, above all, more
attention has been paid to cutting
the grain in proper season, early
enough to make the wheat bright
er, stronger and, consequently of
better milling value. The Turkey
red is exceptionally strong and of
excellent color. And the Marquis
wheat, on which special effort was
made to get same into use, has
proven, ON the whole, quite success
full and it is also of splendid quail
ity. The success in raising this
variety, in fact, bids fair to make
it the leading spring wheat in this
locality.

THANKSGIVING EATS
FOR COMPANY | BOYS
GENEROUS SUPPLY OF GOOD
THINGS SENT TO SOLDIERS
ON MEXICAN BORDER.

If the soldier boys OF Company l.
of the Second Idaho regiment, who
are now doing duly on the Mexican
I border at Nogales, Ariz., do not en-
joy their Thanksgiving dinner IT
will not be the fault of their rela-
tives and friends in the Payette Val
ley. For several days past prepara-
uions have been under way TO for
ward a generous supply of every
thing necessary to ful nish a bound-
full feast for the Company 1 boys
on Thanksgiving day. Payette, Fruit
land, New Plymouth and all paris
Of the Payette Valley have contribut-
ed to the undertaking, in response to
an inv itation recently issued by a
committee composed of parents aad
other relatives OF the soldier boys.
There have been liberal contribu-
tions of all kinds of coed things to-
eat and money to defray the ex-
pense of transportation and the sup
plies will go forward tomorrow.
1t lis to be hoped that nothing
may interfere to prevent the full
enjoyment of Thanksgiving dinner
oy the boys who are now absent
from home doing duty in the SER
7ice Of their country. If their
thoughts are not centered upon their
homes and loved ones that day it !!
will be because while they are feas :

THE TABERNACLE
REVIVAL MEETINGS
CHRISTIAN PEOPLE ARE GIVING
THEMSELVES HEARTILY TO
REVIVAL WORK.

1t doesn't matter so much what
name is applied to the structure
across from the Y. M. c. A., some
have said ramshackle, others, COW.
barn, lumber shed and what not. But
nobody has any word of disrespect
for what is inside The full par y
of five evangelists were on hand
Sunday evening and the Taberna lie
with room for 1000, was nearly fill
| ed. Mr. Garth, who had been con-
ducting meetings three days prev
iously, took his proper place at the
piano. Mr.. Huggins led the singing
and DR.. Lines preached a strong
sermon on the story of David and
Goliath, or what can be dared in the
name of God. This order has con-
tinued for the evenings since, with
variations as need required. The
attendance for week night evenings
while not up to that of Sunday
has been very gratifying, both to
the evangelists and the local peo-
pie The two hundred seats for Choir
us choir, have been nearly all fill
ed each night The section for jun
iors, accommodating sixty, has not
been large enough to accommodate
all who want to sing there.
The afternoon meetings at 2:30
have yielded results quite out of
proportion to the attendance at that |
hour. Not that the attendance has |
been trifling but that the message
has been of a specially intimate and
interesting sort. Mrs. Norvell has
conducted most of these afternoon
meetings, Mr. Lines relieving her
once.
This still leaves unmentioned the
cottage prayer NEE tfngs,
tive of them, in different parts of
town with total daily attendance
Of so to rs people.
The Christian people are giving
heartily to the work and
the theme of the Monday evening
sermon is in good part realized al
ready, namely, ''The joy of the Lord
S the strength of his workers"
There is room for some more peo-
1le and rousing singing and preach
ng that none can affond to miss.

PORTLAND COMPANY
OPERATING ON BIG SCALE.

The farmer who mas not yel
awakened to a full realization o!
the fact that there is large incre
ment to be had from the raising o.
poultry ought to spend a few hours
at least in careful investigation o1
the subject. And now would be a
mighty good time to do it, when
the other fellow who has tried il
out is busy raking in the shekels.
The Union Meat Company, OF Port
land, Ore, through its lo-al mana
ger, j. w. Berry, at this place, has
paid out about SIPS. 900 for poultry
and eggs since February 1st of tbs
year. Mr.. Berry's operations cover
a field embracing a number of the
principal shipping points in Canyon
and adjoining counties, Payette be-
ing the central point for dressing
and preparing for shipment to Port
land and other markets of the North
west all the large consignments and
carload lots of stuff handled in that
oue Otil WI oto
cases of eggs and 5000 pounds of
dressed turkeys was billed out Tues
day TO Spokane, Wash, and on We'd
nesday a straight carload of dressed
turkeys, 10000 pounds, was started
on it's way to furnish Thanksgiving
dinners for Portland people who are
able to afford such luxury.
Mr.. Berry is working force of
about 80 people at this time in hand
ling the poultry business and the
shipments will continue to be made
on a large scale until after Christ
mas. One poultry raiser, M. A. Buck
master, of Star, was given check
for over $4,000 for turkeys deliver
ed by him at one time, and not a
few farmers throughout this section,
who once looked upon poultry rails
ing 1as kind of side-issue, and
with no well-defined idea of wheth-
er or .xtsts it was showing returns
that Justified the rather half-heart-
ed experiment, are now beginning bol
realize from the size of their bank
accounts that they have been over
looking something that is really
worth while. 1t now requires mol
stretch of the imagination to seel
that the poultry business is bound
to become a large and important fac
tor in solving one of the very i'm
portant problems of operating the
business of the farm at profit,
even under conditions that might
otherwise be uncertain of satisfact-
ory results
Mr.. G. H. Morgan, who is at the
head of the dressing department of
the Union Meat Company of Port
Land. is now in Payette, supervis-
ing the packing of the large ship
ments being made. Mr.. Morgan says
the stuff being received is excel
lent in quality and that he has nev-
er seen more ideal weather for hand
ling 1t than we are now having.

FOOTBALL.


The last gridiron contest of ths
season was played Friday wheI
Captain Reiger's warriors gave the
Ontario huskies the short end o.
one4sided score of 33 to o. II
was a fast and exciting game
throughout with the Payette boys
completing many sensational plays
Payette, while not having to de-
pend ON old style tactics, showed
the ability of piercing the Ontario
line for good yardage. Ontario, with
their heavy back field, relied al
most entirely on line Punges for
their yardage, but they were sadly
disappointed when they were held
to a standstili by Coach Rough's s
well-developed line. Ontario was
forced to punt nearly every time
and Lehi, who has such a reputa-
tion as a kicker, made a poor show
ing as most of his punts fell short
and several times they were block
ed by the Payette boys. The On
tario "booter'' was shown up st'1l
more by Goodwin's long, high punts
of the spiral variety, enabling the
Payette ends to get their men in
their tracks.
Ontario received the "pigskin" on
the kickoff but socn lost it on
their forty-five yard line. Goodwin
and Byram had the ball and On
tario's thirty yard line after cou-
pie of end runs Here Loughrey,
Payette's star quarter back, called
for "a fake "off tackle" play and |
Goodwin skirted the left end for a /
with Reiger running a |
perfect interference. Goodwin kick
ed goal. When the quarter ended,
the ball was in Ontario's territory.
With a few minutes from the
time the whistle blew for the start /
Of the second quarter, a perfect
pass was completed to Good win who
carried it to the five-yard line.
3yram advanced the bali three yards
m line plunge and Goodwin shov-
ID 1T the remaining two yards for
he second touchdown. Goodwin
licked goal. After a series Of
,asses and fake formation plays in
his same period, Louehrey carried
he ''oval" from the ten-yard line A.,
or a touchdown.
Neither team scored in the third
uarter but Lehi, of Ontario, kept /,
llbert busy retrieving his punts.
IN one of Ontario's longest punts, i.
,hudy carried the ball to the spot !.
7here the ball left Lehi's toe, after
quirming his way through q brok-
n field for thirty-five yards.
In the last quarter both teams
layed hard. Maule scooped diff
cult pass for a gain of twenty !;
ards shortly after play was re-
umed Loughrey was successful in .
utting two more spectacular pass :,
5 to Goodwin, both for touch-downs.
Lehi and Moore were the Ontario
tars.
This victory was greeted with un-
sual enthusiasm by the Payette h
Ugh students as it evens the score a
lade against us by the Ontario 3
,am last Thanksgiving. L

POTATO POEM CONTEST.

Verses by Miss Olivine Kenward
awarded first prize:
The plebian potato protends its
proud eyes,
To be aristocratic, indeed, not vain
ly now tries,
Since the high cost of living is
bound to go far,
Let the humble potato be its bright
leading star
Of its praises we sing, from peasant
to king,
Composed of fat, ash, protein, water,
carbohydrates,
In nutritive value surprising its
vegetable mates.
(Heap il up high ON all of our
platesD
We may live without the apples,
pears, prunes that we lost,
When visited last Spring by des-
troyer Jack Frost,
We may live without Fall hats or
any new duds,
But where Is the school boy that
can live without spuds.
