Experiment Works Nicely
and System Will Be Con-
tinued Nominal Fee s
Charged to Meet Expenses

Eagle, Jan. 26.-The three weeks Of
successful operation Of the Hot
Lunch" plan in the Eagle school has
surpassed even the expectation of it's
promoters. The idea of serving some-
thing warm with the cold lunches,
which many Of the children are forced
to bring. is theory which as been
much talked OF in the last few years,
but comparatively few schools have
had the courage or enterprise to under
take the installation Of such a system.
=, Several weeks ago the possibility of
such a plan occurred to the teachers
2 of this place. Several obstacles SEEM
ed to stand in the way of success; but
the ingenuity of the faculty came to
the rescue and what was lacking in ne
cessities was made up by the enthns-
iasm and tact of its promoters. The
most formidable problem which pre-
scented itself was that of a stove. Then

city as the county seat. are now as

cations point to an aggressive cam

ful contamination during the present
session Of the legislature. The BUSH
ness men and citizens Of this city
maintain that the creation f the new
county would not add to the taxes of
it's citizens and that the saving in mile
age and fees Of officials and witnesses
would more than make up the salaries
of the officials. They claim that the
citizens Of Gem county have found that
money was saved to them by the crea-
ton Of their county.
A slice Of Ada county is desired BY
reason Of the fact that Payette is also
asking for a division of Canyon county,
creating another new county Of which
1t shall be the county seat. With a
slice of Ada added to the county, it is
claimed that the efforts of this city
and Payette will not conflict. They
declare that there is nothing in their
effort objectionable to other cities and
towns in the county.
AGAINST PEckHAM BILL.
The bill introduced by Representa-
tive Peckham of this county, which
provides that before any new county
can be created, IS per cent of the vo

vote in favor of it, and that no new
county can be created where the county
seat would not be II miles from any
other county seat, is regarded with

LETTERS To,PATRoNs.
With this problem before, them the
teachers sent out circular letter to
the patrons Of the district stating their
plan regarding the hot lunch, and ask
ing any who cared to do so to send a
quarter to begin fund with which to
purchase the necessary appurtenances.
Quite q large per cent of those receiv-
ing these notices Immediately sent in

mately enough to buy the lumber for

made by the boys Of the school under
the supervision of Principal Percy
George Bait.
request was sent throughout the
community asking II anyone had a
cook stove not in use, which they were
willing to loan for the rest of the sea-
son. To this call, Mrs. Jenkins re-
sponded by sending a most excellent
stove for the purpose. At this point
the Mothers circle stepped in and
brought to a climax the already cul-
minating movement by agreeing to
furnish the utensils. This splendid re-
spouse on the part Of the mothers is
keenly appreciated by the teachers.
NOMINAL FEE CHARGED.
The current expenses are met by the
very nominal fee of cents per day
per child. Thus far this has covered
the expenses very nicely. Between 20
and 80 children eat daily. Various
soups constitute the menu throughout
the week, with an occasionally varia-
ton of cocoa and cake.
Those who are familiar with the
workings regard it very favorably, and
much credit Is due the teachers, Mrs.
Moore, Miss Hall and Miss Curtis.

ardent enthusiasm have given the pre-
sent organization it's thorough success.
The larger girls of the school assist in
the work, and the plan is to eventually
make them responsible for it's opera

The big new Vitagraph- -Blue-rib- bon feature picture, '"The Stolen Treaty. in which the popular Earle Williams stars, will head the Fox pro- gram for today and tomorrow. It is picture that is worked out along highly original lines. and will be revelation to those who are not fa- miliar with the operations of the United States Secret Service, as it deals with the unadvertised methods of this organization. But the politi- cal side of The Stolen Treaty." a1- though remarkably true to life. and very realistic, is only incidental to the picture, which is mainly con- cerned with an unusual, romantic and adventurous love affair. Co-star- ring with MT. Williams is that new beauty, Corinne Griffith, whose work as the unsuspecting tool of the Se- cret Service who saves a matter of fifteen million dollars for the govern ment is something we'll worth seeing

How AIadge Knew There Was Trouble
 Between Katherine and Jack.


 Whats the matter Jack?"
 I asked the question softly, under cover of the clever bandinage and light laughter that were making Lll- ians dinner the success her friends always associate with anything she does
 Robert Savarin, the guest of honor, was laughing like a boy at some or the sallies which Dicky, Alfred Dur kee, Lillian and Mrs. Watrous were gracefully tossing across the table to each other. Lillian was too good a hostess not to include the rest of her guests in tht general conversation, but of course, as at every dinner, we were generally divided into takers and listeners, and I had noticed that of the quiet ones my brother-cousin. Jack Bickett. and Dr.. Petit. across the table, were the most silent of the 12 guests.
 Katherine Sonnot, my brother cousins fance on the contrary, was entering into the spirit of the affair with zest. Always remarkably pretty girl, Katherine was like re- gal little marquise in lowered rose silk with a llmy overdress of the same tint. I knew that she had bought the material at bargain counter basement sale, and had lab ored many nights when tired out from her days work to make it, knew that it was her one good evening gown. and my heart thrilled with the genuine liking and pride had always felt for Katherine.
 But there were hectic little spots of color on her checks, a 'fevered little g1int in her eyes that spoke of some relief in the gayety at the table. And, glancing from her face to that of the stern set one Of my brother cousin, I knew there was trouble somewhere, and resolved to find out what 1t was and if possible to remedy it. I had watched for the opportunity to put my question to Jack when both my query and his answer would be unob- served by the rest of the guests.
 He started perceptibly at my mur- mured words. but his face as he turned 1t toward mine wore the i'm passive look of an Indian. It was a look to which was we'll accustomed. I knew it was the mask with which Jack always hid any strong emotion behind which he endured any suffer- ing.
 An Obstinate Jack.
 "Why do you ask?" he parried in the same low tone that I had used.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

"Recause know something Is wrong between you and Katherine, I returned decidedly. Neither of you is happy right now, and you ought to be the happiest people in the world.
 That shows how little you know about it." Jack returntd with tone as nearly approaching curtness as he had ever used to me. Katherine ap- pears to be happy enough tonight you surely cannot find any flaw in her spirits" he added after a minute.
 There was a hint of bitterness in his tone that made me wonder if Jack, my cool staid brother-cousin, could also have within him the capacity for ridiculous jealousy that Dicky pos sessed.
 That shows how little you know about Katherine-or any woman I rejoined tartly. of course, to all outward seeming, Katherine is en- toying herself immensely, but any one who really loves her can see by the look in her eyes that she's suffering.
 "If she is, it isn't on my account Jack returned stubbornly, and the voice was that of an obstinate, sulky child, while his mouth set in a thin, tight line which angered me.
 Its your own fault, then,' l re- torted sharply, flor if ever a girl idol ized a man, Katherine had that feel ing for you"
 "Perhaps After Dfnner.'
 He opened his eyes wide and looked at me as if he had never seen me be- fore.
 'It isn't like you to be shrewish, Margaret he said disagreeably, "and I think you'll find you are mistaken about the lady's real feelings
 There was an unpleasant note in his voice. and I realized that things were more radically wrong than I had thought.
 I realized something else, too, with a little flush of humiliation at the times when I had contrasted Dicky's behavior with my brother cousins unfat!ing courtesy. Jack, too, could be bcutally discourteous when he chose. I saw, and with the seeing felt a repentant yearning for Dicky.
 Look here!" Jack said abruptly. and there was something peremptory in his tone. "I think I'll tell you all about this thing. Then you'll realize better what you are talking about
 Mot now,'' cautioned beneath my breath, as I saw that our dialogue was attracting the attention of the other diners. Perhaps after dinner"
 "All-"Jack did not finish his answer, for pealing high above the merry voices of the diners came an imperious ringing of the doorbel.

Once upon time we had two work !, men in the house making some re- pairs for us.
 We he'd made certain plans and something in the construction of the house suddenly loomed up in the way of these plans.
 .'what shall we do?" I said to the carpenters.
 Said one carpenter, "I don't see any, thing we can do. That wall is in the sway" There Must Be Some Way. Said the other: There must be some way to get around that difficulty. Let's see if we can't find it. And presently he did. The other day I met that second l carpenter on the street. He is a mas ter builder now. He has five men working for him. The first carpenter 1 is one of them. Do you wonder? don't.
