EX-GOVERNOR
MAKES TALK

While the audience was small at
the Emma Tuesday evening to hear
Ex-Governor Hawley, the address by
the honored gentleman was magnifi-
cent. New before have We listen
ed TO talk on the real meaning and
significance of the Red Cross Society
that made the impression that this
address did. Governor Hawley is an
impressive speaker and has his
heart in the work. There were sew
oral short addresses by some of
the local people which we're good.
The campaign for raising the allot-
ted $4,000 from Payette County for
the Red Cross, is rapidly being put
forth and we believe that amount
will be subscribed, if not more.

DELIVERS GOOD
SERMON
To the Editor:

10 nlHe EullOl.
If / may have a little space
would like to say a word of CON-
mendation and appreciation of the
preacher. 1t may be a novel idea;
We usually criticize him. But the
sermons of Mr.. Ballou at the Chris
tian church last Sunday night and
the previous Sunday night we're
certainly worth while. Many of the
audience have told me they con-
sidered them the best they ever
heard on prophecy of tho book of
Revelations. 1t was a most hearten-
ing discourse, and for more than
an hour each evening held the big
audience to the very closest atten-
tion. Mr.. Ballou is an easy and
fluent speaker with the attributes
of born teacher, sharpened and
polished by training and experience.
The Christian Church has a large
and comfortable seats,
good music and a mighty capable
preacher If you haven't heard him
it would pay you to do SO.

GERMAN SOLDIERS IN PRISON At
BARRACKS IN SALT LAKE.

Three hundred and ninety-eight
German soldiers are prisoners Of
war now in the prison barracks at
Fort Douglas, Utah, near Salt Lake.
These soldiers were taken from the
German battleship Comomran which
was blown up near coaling sta
ton some time ago, on small Is
land off the Philippine Islands, and
were brought to San Francisco and
from there to Fort Douglass about
two weeks ago One of the prison
ers is a nephew of Nick Broderson,
and by chance Mr.. Broderson learn
ed of the nephew's whereabouts in
"a Portland paper. He and his wife
went to Salt Lake to see the young
man. The task however was not
an easy one, and If it were not for
Nicks well planned scheme and
sugaring ways, he would not have
accomplished his purpose. When he
arrived at the Fort, he learned that
other relatives of prisoners within
tho Barracks had been refused en-
trance, but Mr.. Broderson had with
him a letter of recommendation from
Lieutenant Colonel Patch, his Nat
uralization papers, and a Liberty
Bond button on his coat, and after
severe inspection by the United
States officers, he was permitted
to enter the prison barracks, escort
ed by three U. S. soldiers who march
ed Mr.. Broderson in like prisoner
of war, and allowed him to converse
with the nephew but five minutes,
not allowing either to mention any
thing relative to the war. Mr.. Brod-
erson says the prisoners are well
fed and cared for; as well as tho
they were United States soldiers, and
were they to be released, would be
glad to go to work in this country,
and never return to Germany. But
they are closely guarded in an in
closure of barbed wire heavily
charged with electricity, with a
guard stationed on each corner Of
the inclosure with a machine gun.
and one at the entrance. They have
bunk houses built for their conveni-
snce which would accommodate many
times their number.

Y. N. c. A. NOTES

The Value OF the Young Mems
Christian Association in the Com
munity:
There are a few people who have
mistaken idea as to the purpose OF
the Y. NJ. C. A. and many are not
we'll informed on the great amount
of work that is being done by the
Association.
Monday a boy from a neighbor
city dropped into the Payette "Y'',
as is a usual custom of fellows from
other towns when in the city, and
he made the statement that he wish
I'D his town could have Y. NJ.
C. A for the boys, and in being ask
ed what the boys did when not
busy, he stated that they either went
to the Library or Pool Halls.
A letter is received from a pas
tor in Ohio who is coming to Pay
ette for a few months, stating he
wished a room reserved for him to
use as his home while here. 1t is
needless to say he is a member Of
one of the College Y. NJ. CA S of
the East
A class of young men with 81
enrolled, and an attendance of about
a dozen which meets during school
terms is an exception to any other
institution in the community for the
promotion of Bible study. Four class
es were conducted last winter by
the Payette Y NJ. c. A.
1t is place for boys social life
which is necessary. Adults like an
auto ride or other forms of recrHa-
tion and the boy also must have
his. The experiences of Young
Men around the Y. NJ c. A. will
prompt them to state that 1t is an
uncomfortable mental atmosphere in
which to loaf and the Employment
bureau is ever staring them in the
face.
Any man would be more efficient
II he would take one hour each day
for clean cut uplifting recreation
and the Y. NJ C. A. affords that
every day of the year including Sun
day with it's reading matter and
music and always as accessible as
If in your own home.
The campaign for the maintenance
of the "Y" is progressing and Pay
cite citizens are showing their in
terest by their giving and buying,
memberships.

FIRST CAR BUTTER
FROM PAYETTE.

The Farmers Cooperative Cream
Company sold and delivered to c.
II. Bowman last week a full car of
butter which was shipped to Butte,
Mont. This car of butte is the first
full car ever shipped from Payette,
and net the Cream Company SO IL
cents per pound or total Of sSo23.-
70. We are pleased to note the fact
that the Farmers Cooperative Cream
Company of Payette now has the
equipment and are operating under
a plan whereby all cream is made
into first grade butter. This is made
possible by churning the cream
every day while it is fresh, while
cream that is held over for ship
ment or otherwise delaid, is made
into a second grade, making a diff
ference in price of from 4 to 5
cents per pound. This is worth while
and should be considered by all who
are in the dairy business. Thirty
thousand pounds Of butter were made
and shipped by this Company dur
ing the month of May This new
building will be completed and
ready for occupancy by the first of
July, which will materially add to
the convenience and efficiency OF
the plant.

GETTING LINED UP

Col. Muller is having the Cold
Storage swept and garnished and
put into condition for the new crop.
The last car OF 1916 apples has left
the storage. A few odd boxes Of ap-
pies and a few sacks of potatoe S
are all that is left of 1916 at the
Storage. But the egg rooms are
fuller than ever before, OF the
product of 1917. The machinery OF
the plant is being overhauled by Fore
man Springston and everything is
being put in order for a record run
in this year of great need.
At the Cannery arrangements are
being made to organize for greater
efficiency.
At the Vinegar factory the same
spirit of progress seems to be in
evidence They are putting all kinds
of pep and vinegar into their prep
arations.
Last but not least, by long way,
the house wives are getting busy
with their canning, drying and pre-
serving preparations. There will be
little left to go to waste in Pay
cite this year.
Finally, and it is to be deplored,
the chronic kicker is limbering up
for renewed efforts in his line His
present greatest trouble seems to
be that every time he tries to
grab something somebody beats him
to it.

AGRICULTURAL
NOTES
Sick Animals.

| SICK Animals.
Many farms have sick animals al
this time of year which are allow
ed to mingle with the others. If the
disease is infectious it soon spreads
and a heavy loss results. Provide
separate screened area as hos
| pital and have all small animals TAX
| en- there for treatment. Pigs that
are being treated for worms, chick
ems that have the roup, or gapes,
or bowel troubles should be isolated
so that they are readily accessible
and safely quarantined.
Flies.
This is the breeding season for
flies and they breed in filth, live
in filth, then visit your kitchen
and dining room, wipe their feet on
tbs butter and bath in the butter
milk. Ten generations will be born
this summer unless you kill the
daddy of them ALL Prevention is a
big fly-swatter,-use it now.
Candle Your Eggs.
Local dealers report that few
bad eggs are being received thus
far in the season Evidently poultry
men ara more careful and desire
to retain good customers. During this
warm weather eggs are certain to.
incubate unless the rooster has been
kept penned separate from the egg
flock. Roosterless eggs save money
for the rancher, the dealer and the
customer. Candle eggs by arranging
q pasteboard box around an electric
light bulb leaving ventilation and a
hole at the side for the light to-
chine out thru. Eggs held against tn 6
small hole and strong light reveal
the quality therein. Slight incubation
is detected, rots are made brown and
the size of the air space indicates
approximate age. Fresh warm eggs
have no air space, eggs "a hours old
have a space about the size OF a
dime which enlarges as the days go
by
Fall Festival.
Many boys and girls in Club
Work are looking forward to a
exhibition here in Pay
etta next September The event will
likely be called a Fall Festival and
the prize winners could then send
their exhibits on to the State Fair
at Boise. Club Leader Mccall will /
again be in town the first week in
July to confer with the new County |
in order TO provide ways
and means for Payette County's First
