The greater part of the population
Oh Twin Falls county seemed to have
gone to the Filler race meet on the
Fourth of July, where there were a
few good horse races and a great deal
of very bad dust. And the people of
Twin Fails county mostly went il
their own automobiles at that! The
machines were headed in against the
outer track fence just as thickly as
they would stand all the way around
it-three hundred being a conserva-
tive estimate Of the number, with two
thirds as many more parked else
where within and without the grounds
And they were all filled with happy
and good natured people, in spite Of
the dust. This includes the kiddies,
OF which there were quite enough to
testify the fine qualities of both soil
and air hereabouts. Why, lots of the
autos were so filled that when door
was opened the kiddies rolled out like
grains of corn out of a shelter God
bless the babiesl When old Shakes
peare pointed out the man 'fit only
= for treason, strategem and spoils, the
criterion should have been his lacl
of love for children instead of for mu-
sici
And they were all here, with their
fathers and mothers, their uncles and
aunts and few grandfathers. Every
body was here. Loves young dream
was here, numerously; and in cases
it seemed almost to have became a
nightmare. One nice looking young
man had two nice looking girls, and
his efforts to do justice to them both
became almost painful at times. How
ever, the elder and apparently more
experienced of the twain did not take
kindly to any dividends in affection
, and sort of surrounded the plant, sc
to speak and helped herself. This
= seemed rather autocratic; but two la.
dies among the audience with every
qualification for judicial duty, sale
= that as it is war time, conscriptioI
was perfectly all right.
The morning program began will
e a magnificent parade, in which tn,
- Twin Falls Red Cross float won frs
I place; also getting the district prize
Other prize winners were the File
= Red Cross and G. A. Love, also of Fill
