During the winter months our
farmers and dairymen should
complete plans for securing more
and better dairy animals for
their farms and be in position to
patronize the local creamery ev-
cry month in the year in future.
The good dairy COW is the best
investment on the farm. She
will produce nice cream check
each month and a wholesome lot
of skim milk for the growing
pigs. She will convert much
waste vegetable matter into cash
through the cream check and
will pay for her keep and still
leave her owner enough profit to
equal her original cost each year,
to say nothing of the value of
the fertilizer left on the farm to
keep up its productiveness.
Good cows are hard to purchare,
even in the dairy sections where
cows are plentiful and feed is
scarce, but the man who expects
to continue in the dairy business
and make it pay will do we'll to
get one or two first class animals
to start with and continue to add
others year by year as his finan-
ces will permit.

Your girls should get their
bloom" in the open air instead
of at the drug counter. 1t looks
better, lasts longer, and is more
pleasing to the masculine mind
and eye. The drug man will
never get rich from the sale of
bloom. :" He is a man of sense
and discernment, or he would
not be a druggist, and he would
rather see one rosy cheek tinted
with the bloom of nature than to
sell a barrel of the artificial arti-
Gle. Just G ct your druggist
wound up on this subject some
day and see what a world of good
common sense advice he will give
you, for he thinks even more of
you than he does of the sale of
his bloom.

With the contract let for a
$4,000 cold storage plant to be

the announcement of the start
ing of a third bank in Cotton

if this town was going to con-
tinue the progress experienced
during the year 1916. Now give
US a little street paving and per-
haps a sewer system and our
town will continue to hold its
place as the best town between
Lewiston and Weiser. Let the
good work go on.

FRIDAY, JANUARY &c, 1917
Conservative Legislature In
Idaho

The impression given to The
outside public is that Idaho had
commanded the service of a con-
sentative body of men for law
makers.
That is the tone of the COVER
nor's message, and his plea is
for business conditions under
which the state and all its inter-
ests may develop.
Reading between the lines of
his message, Idaho does not want
laws that keep capital from in
vesting in this state nor laws
that cinch it after it has set foot
in the state.
Neither does he favor laws to
tax industries excessively that
employ labor as that kind of laws
only hamper the development of
the state and do not benefit the
laborer. Special taxation of
special industries is a hobby with
political economists of the aca-
demic school who never put a
dollar into anything and as rule
never did a days work in their
lives. If the legislature will
work on these lines better bust
ness conditions will prevail and
the Gem state can be made in a
few years the most prosperous
state west of the Rockies.

there is nothing that tells us who

VIeIet Mersereau In RAGS.

eSusan's Gentleman" at the Dixie,
Is one Of those artless plays about an
English peer in disguise and ragged
little American girl who befriends him
"a ID his hour Of peril and is properly re-
Warded by the discovery Of her own
long lost coronet. Much of the action
Is taken up in the prelude which shows
the heroine's mother who elopes in
haste with a groom on her fathers
estate and follows precedent by repent
Ing at leisure in the slums of New York.
The main situation of the play is In
The scene where the daughter poses
as her mothers ghost thus terrifying
the adventures Of the story into a
confession Of murder for which the
hero Is imprisoned. It is all very
STACEY and unconvincing but it fur
aishes plenty Of thrills for the class Of
audience which does not demand any
degree Of realism in its melodrama.
Violet Mersereau plays both the
rash young English girl who elores
with groom and the plucky little
Bowery waif generation later. By
some miracle not explained on the
Screen, the daughter is the only per.
son In the cast who grows older after
generation has past and we are
shown her father, the adventures
and the family lawyer looking exactly
is young in the daughters life story as
she did in that Of her mother before
her. The hero as played by William
0.Neill is nondesCript person and the
adyenturess is consistently over.acted.
The role gives Violet Mersereau a
chance to be kittenish in rags and pic.
liresque In old.fashioned costumes
which will be gratifying to her admir-.
ers In spite Of a rather vapid play.

siIabehs Sweet at Grand.


Although the title of Those With
mt Sin" which is at the Grand today,
suggests a very definite theme, the &C.
itfai story bears no relation to 1t what
ever It is a romance of the Civil war,
picturesque and sweetly sentimental
In some spots but sordid in others.
instead Of the Magdalene that the title
suggests, the heroine is simple young
Southern girl In love with a Confeder-
ste officer. In the midst of the war,
She finds herself and her family sur
rounded by Yankee soldiers, all more
Of less brutes, and commanded by an
pfficer who had once before insulted
her by his advances. This commander
offers to release the family and Incl
fentally some valuable dispatches, Oh
condition that the girl surrender her
seif to him and the story is concluded
BY a rather long.drawn-out scene IN
which she throws red pepper in the VII
lain.s eyes and thus wards off his ap-
breaches until her lover arrives and
eeseues her.
Blanche Sweet does her best TO save
the doubtful situations by her charm
ing and sincere acting which carries
her through the difficult scenes. Tom
Forman is typical as young Southern
war hero, while Guy Oliver does his
hest as the brutal villain, though handi-
capped by his amiable and cherubic
face. The Southern atmosphere is de-
lightfully presented in setting and cos
tune.
