COMING HOME,
sADDER BUT WISER.


Those thousands upon thousands OF
young American farmers who hot
footed 1t to Canada with all their
worldly goods few years ago are
hot-footing 1t back as fast as they
can scamper across the line. Most
Of them are coming sans the worldly
goods. But they don't seem to care.
They are too glad at the chance to
escape conscription. Land, opportuni-
ties, and climate have all looked
better in the United States ever since
they have been on the outside look
ing In; and serving in the armies of
King George is no part OF the young
Americans plan for getting-rich-
quick. This exodus of American far
mers will hurt the Canadian real es-
tate men, but they can reflect with
Joy on all the commissions they have
pocketed and lived handsomely on
during the past five years.
We will all be so glad to see the
American farmers coming home that
we'll not have much time to waste
on plying the flat pockets of the
Canadians who live on American
money.

Christmas has come and gone, but
it Is little difficult for us to ap-
preciate Christmas here, where there
is no frost nor snow and about the
only thing there rs to indicate the
Christmas season is the conventional
Christmas decorations In the store
windows. Yet the spirit of the Sea
son nuns strong In the hearts Of
the people, even in this far land, and
our own Christmas experience were
very happy. Messages of love and
good wishes came to US from ,mahy
many friends far and near, scattered
over large part of the eartA,s sur
face. Many of them shall Hot be
able to acknowledge. and may ]
presume to ask that ii any OF the
Payette friends who sent us remind
ers of any kind do not receive ac-
acknowledgement, they would accept the
as an expression of our most sincere
gratefulness.
One very noticeable Christmas re-
membrance that came to us this year
which mention in this connection
because of its practical value and be-
cause it indicates something of the
kind OF people l have to work with
was a gift from the members of my
church of a new 1916 Buick, six
cylinder automobile. This is the sec
ond time that these good people have
made me such present. The first
year | was out here, they gave me
an Overland, which 1 drove $3.50
miles on the streets of the city,
and on the roads of this Island do
ing my pastoral work.

your good nature, other than to add
this. AS grow older, 1 am becom-
ing more sensible to those spiritual
,hings without which even under
the most favorable conditions. there
Is sense of hunger In the human
heart. so in framing wishes for my
friends for this New Year, would
wish that a reasonable degree Of
prosperity, good health and a con-
tinually growing appreciation OF
spiritual values may be theirs.

The editor of the Caldwell News
accuses the Enterprise of attempt
ing to arouse prejudice in the Pay
cite citizen against the other sec
tons OF the county," because for
sooth, we happened to intimate that
the south end of the county never

willing souls to fill the county Of

the Enterprise kindly mention some
man from Payette turned down for
any office because he was a resi-
dent of Payette." No the Enterprise
viii not attempt to do any such
thing. So few Payette men have
been elected to office In recent

after, since the News man has taken

The statement that money is once
ti'ore plentiful in the East needs no
further proof than that contained In
statement by the editor of the
New York Independent. One OF the
trains running between New York
and Boston carries two dining cars,
on one Of which meals. cost 1925,
While on the other they cost only
S1.z5. The menu is practically the
same in these cars, but one provides
] table d'hote dinner, the other fur
nishing an a-la-carte service. The
editor says he found that the table
d'hote car was half empty, while
the arla-carte car was packed to the
limit, with waiting line in the alley
aext the galley. In fact the editor dis
covered that the precise dinner that
cost S1.25 In the table d'hote car.
4 ordered in the a-la-carte car would
cost exactly 1925. or five times as
much.

and woolly career in the sos Most of the oldtmers
that helped to make Dodge City moving picture

Oklahoma in the spring of 1889, when that country

Tilghman has been described as a miracle walking

been on the firing line for thirty years and
wounded
Colonel Jones is a Virginian by birth His hair
is like gray wire nails his eyes keen and sharp
his face lined like forest reclamation map, and his
voice strong and strdent His manner is clustering
yet he is amable, and delights in the companion
ship of children. Though more than 65 years
old. he is well preserved and vigorous.

first to last than 200 men died with boots on

like that? said Colonel Jones. 81 well remember
the day all the bodies moved from their graves on
Boot Hill make way for the public school building
and its grounds Boot Hill was northwest of Dodge
and looked down upon the town Poor devilsl some
of them were not more than two feet below the sod
and occasionally two and three bodies found

their faces to keep off the clods and most of them

There were men at Dodge who had to learn by bit
ter experience the peculiarites of Erp In particular
there was a Frenchman who met Erp in the street
day. and said: Hello, you -" With his
pistol, Erp instantly struck the Frenchman across
the forehead, knocking him senseless. Later, the
Frenchman entered the Long Branch saloon where
