Hot Meals on the Wing.

Scientific American. Since the only
practical way by which the passengers
OF an aeroplane can have a hot drink
or hot food is through the use of a vac.
uum bottle or jar. the idea has been
suggested that the manufacturers Of
air craft would do well to build into
their machines a number of pockets or
wall cases for vacuum bottles, so that
the latter filled with pre-heated food.

Just as the beautiful Easter sea-
son was at hand and new life was
awakening in all things a dearly be-
loved being passed from our midst
into the great beyond. We cannot
express in words what our hearts
feel in the parting with our true
friend and neighbor. Mr.. A. L. Bragg,
but his influence will long be felt
in the community and the noble
pioneer work he has done will never
die. To have known such a man is
blessing to us in itself. and may we
in times of trouble take his life as
an example, in always looking for
the bright things which are if we
will only exert ourselves to find them.
The deepest sympathy of the COM
munity is extended to his wife and
family.

Mr.. Earl Templeton came down
from Boise last week and stopped
over for day with his parents, Mr..

the next day for the east where he
will get Mrs. Templeton and their
little daughter, Mary Templeton, and
bring them back home.
DR.. Eggleston spent several days

Mr. Don Templeton left for Colo
RADIO where he expects to take up a
homestead.
The large lake on the S. w. Hills
ranch is being drained, this will be
quite an improvement to the COM
munity as the water very often over

Hay buyers are around trying to
contract hay for ten dollars ton for
the coming season but the farmers
are not signing up at this price as
they think they should receive a bet
ter price. Fifteen dollar hay now is
cheap to the stock men at the price
they are receiving for their sheep
and cattle. Many people have been
paying thirty dollars per ton this
spring and can not even get it at that
price at the present time. The farm
ers have learned lesson this season
and will never sell themselves out of
hay again.
