Weiser. continue to furnish 80 per
cent of, the men enlisted from the
district in which Boise is the main

| I slept late the morning after

awakened by Louise opening the
door of my room carefully to see

What is 1t, Louise?" l asked
sleepily.
Il just wanted to know IL you
were awake, Madame" she said.
Mrs. Lafferty is downstairs, but
she said not to wake you If you
were still sleeping"
"Tell her to come right up,
Louise" I said, now thoroly
awake and happy at the thought
of seeing Annie, whom l had not
seen since l came back from the
west
shall I send little Margaret
Ann up too?" Louise asked.
Certainly. I want to see the
child very much" need not
have said a word, for Margaret
Ann had eluded everyone and was
dancing thru the door of my bed

exclaimed as she climbed up on
my bed and gave me an enthusi-
astic hug and kiss, Mother is

Louise, bring me that box over
there. 1 want to show little Mar
kgaret Ann something I brought
her from California. Before the
childs sparkling eyes l dangled a
necklace of beautiful pink tour
malines which are found in Cali
fornia.
Put it on, Aunt Margaret. Put
1t on quick, before mother comes. "
l clasped it around her neck
just as her mother opened the
door.
Look here. mother" the child
fairly shouted before Annie could
say word. Look what Aunt
Margie has brought me-"
Margaret Ann, how often
must tell you that do not like
to see you so excited and how
often must I reprove you for
calling Miss Margaret Aunt Mar
gie,' demonstrated Annie.
Now, Annie" I said. as she
bent over the bed to kiss me, 1.-The
child hears me called Margie and
then 1t is perfectly natural for her
to think that she should call me
Aunt Margie."
"But, Miss Margaret, your dear
mother hated nicknames and IL
you remember you were never
called anything but Margaret un-
til after you were married"
THAT Is all right, Annie. No
one ever loved a mother better
than I loved mine, but she has
been dead ever since I was seven
teen years old, and others who
love me have contracted the state

Jones and Smith

year ago neighbors Jones and Smith of Taco
ma were not on speaking terms.
Jones despised the ground Smith walked on.
rs. Smiths New Years resolution for 1917 was Ito

In fact, Jones had fallen out with Smith and
Smith had fallen out with Jones' Each had crouch;
each was disgruntled with his job, with Tacoma,
and with things in general.
Then unusual things happened
Both Jones and Smith voted for the army post
bonds.
Jones' son joined the army, So did Smith, j.
Smith bought Liberty bond So did Jones'
The Jones family placed food administration
card in it's front window. The window OF the Smith
family was similarly decorated.
Smiths youngest daughter got out on the street
and sold Red Cross memberships. The Oldest
daughter of Jones likewise put on Red Cross cap
and sold memberships on the same street corner.
Then, to make matter more complicated, Jones
son began paying attentions to Smiths youngest
daughter, and Jones' oldest daughter began to get
the idea that Smiths son was the handSOmest off,
Ger at Camp Lewis.
So matters stood on the morning of Dec. 81, when
Smith and Jones each left their homes to catch
car.
'sMornin' Smith, grunted Jones.
"Morninn' JONES'" grunted Smith
And they started to work together.
All of which goes to prove that crouch can't do
business under the Stars and Stripes.
The year 1918 is going to be great year for the
