NOTES

Poultry Show.
The Payette Valley has some very
fine poultry and We ought to hold a
Show hare in order to stimulate bet
ter birds. If well bred hens lay more
eggs than scrub stuff then the search
for good birds will be made easier by
holding annual shows. If you are in
terested let us know and We will
have a meeting to discuss ways and
means for this event. During the
holidays would be an ideal time.
Scalding Hogs.
Several farmers report that they
have difficulty in determining the
ideal temperature of water forr scald-
ing purposes. Some thermometers are
marked "scalding'' at 152 degrees
but probably IT'S degrees is much
better. Water at 100 degrees will set
the hair while further heating only
aggravates the trouble.
BIoat Caused by Frozen Feed.
During the last two weeks several
young cattle have died Of bloat. First
rumors thought it to be Blackleg but
the animals examined did not pre-
sent the symptoms of this very con-
tagious disease. We believe that if
plenty Of salt is available for stock,
calves especially, that they Wi
drink enough water to offset the
tendency to crowd down a lot Of
frozen pasturage the first thing in
the morning. Better watch your youn
cattle the first few hours of each
morning that You turn them out to
frozen pasturage. Some animals, es-
Decially dairy stock, will bloat more
readily than will range bred stock.
Lyceum Course.
Now after strenuous cropping sea
son We note that We may gather to
enjoy five number musical and lee
:ure course this winter. Relaxation |
will help us work harder between
lines.
Real Estate.
In past years much surplus cash !
las gone elsewhere to invest in seem |
ngly good propositions. We believe
hat now is the time ideal tnap up
'ome of the properties held by dis
ant city people. Let US own fertile /
'ayette Valley and buy now at bed
ock prices. Values will advance two
ears from now.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE
BUT NO HARM DONE,

Last week while hurting around TO
get out a day early on account Of
Thanksgiving our printer pied some
of the professional ads and in get
ting them back into the form, made
a slight mistake which accounts for
DR.. E. B. Holmes card appearing as
an Osteopath. If you are in need of
any treatment of that kind just turn
to the left of the hall and walk in.
You won't find DR.. Holmes, but
you'll get worked over Just the
same, and If you get out all in one
piece you will be all fright in a few
days.

1t has often been said that a car
will not run without gasoline, but
We have positive proof that the as
sertion is not true, and the demon
stration almost proves what has al
so been said that a Ford will run ON
its -eputation. A week ago Monday
evening a Ford owner was ON his
way home from Payette and when a
short distance out, found a man will
a Ford unable to proceed for want
of gas. He, too, was almost in the
same predicament and of course had
no gas to spare. But he had in his
car can of kerosene. The man with
the dead engine said, Lets try the
kerosene" so quantity was pour
ed into the tank. and with one twist
of the crank, proved the Ford's abil-
ity to run without gasoline, and the
owner tore down the road like a
bat out of hades with the smoke roll
ing out behind like a railroad loco
motive, and was soon from sight.

The fruit buyers from the variou:
parts of the country held their frs
annual banquet at the Hotel Ban

Who acted as toast master, and In
his usual joyial manner made things
lively throughout the entire evening
While this banquet was given as a
farewell among the buyers, a great
surprise was sprung on them by one
of their number which gave tone and
pleasure to the occasion. L. V. Ste
wart of Cherokee, Texas, and Miss
Elm Griffin who had been previous
ly stung by a matrimonial bee, took
this occasion to step from single
blessedness into the realm of double
uncertainty. While the participants
and guests were gathered around the

and took their place at the head of
the table, and after a toast by Col.
Priest, the wedding ceremony was
pronounced by Judge Wells thus
binding together two happy hearts
whom we trust will beat as ono
through life.
During the seven course banquet
which was served by Mrs. Berry,
land lady of the Bancroft, music was
rendered by Miss Landon, after
which several speeches were made
by members of the party, and by
the local people. Many pressions
of appreciation were given to the
fruit buyers for their valuable as
sistance in the marketing of the i'm
mence crop Of fruit grown in the
Payettc County.

How a Machine Gun Is Fired.

How machine gun is fred
through a revolving propeller is told
in recent issue of Aeronautics, in
an article describing the more i'm
portant features of two German FOX
kers brought down behind the Brit
ish lines in France. On these mono
planes. according TO the description.
the machine gun is fired through the
propeller by means of a small lever
actuating a Bowden wire. Provision
is further made to throw the ma
chine gun mechanism momentarily
out Of gear as each whirling pro-
peller blade comes into line with the
muzzle. This is done very simply by
means Of a double cam fixed on the
engine shaft and acting on a system
of levers. The French Morane. af-
ter which the Fokker type has been
modelled, also fires its machine gun
through the tractor screw.

PRACTICAL PARAGRAPHS - -, 81
For Everybody Who Owns Automobile

tor has worn in. the noise will be
distinctly heard. Merely because the
knockink is not audible is no rea-
son for keeping the spark unduly
advanced. The new car owner
should assume that there is a
knocking even though he does not
hear it and should retard the spark
on a heavy pull.
Lubricating Exposed Parts.
At this season of the year the car
owner should devote some attention
to the fabrication of exposed parts
of the mechanism, which invite the
entrance of mud and water during
the storms of fail. The various
connections from the steering post
to the front wheel spindles need
fabrication, just as much as other
moving parts and If they are not
cleaned periodically and given
good supply of grease, they may fail
at the time when they are most
needed. Leather boots on the steer
ing drag link ends help somewhat,
but even boots do not protect the
joints from the entrance of water.
The steering connections should be
well cleaned and creased. More
over from this time on through the
winter. these eXpesed parts of the
mechanism should have a careful
inspection every few hundred miles
OF running.

WORK PROGRESSES
ON ARMY CHURCHES
Halls Being Rapidly Built at All
Cantonments.

The past week has witnessed con-
siderable progress in the work of the
committee in the erection of the halls
at the cantonments and army camps.
In each cantonment there rs a board
of construction made up Of members
OF the order living in close proximity
to the seat of operations, which In
sures a knowledge of local conditions
and the means for securing the best
and most skillful labor for the work.
All this work is under the direct su-
pervision of the members and saves
to the committee thousands OF dol
lars in supervision expenses. as the
architects, builders and mechanics OF
the order are in direct charge.
The secretaries for the halls at all
of the cantonments have been decided
upon, and many have reported and
are at their respective posts. A post
chaplain, in addition to the regimen
tai chaplains, will be appointed for
each cantonment and army camp in
the country, and many of these chap
lains are now in service, and as fast
as the national army reaches the can
tonments the chaplains will be on the
ground for his part OF the work The
post chaplains viii follow the troops
to France at the base camps and into
the trenches. The committee will take
up in few days the appointment Of
additional chaplains for service in
France to supplement the American
ehaplains already sent to France by
the committee.
While these activities are being
prosecuted under the auspices of the
knights of Columbus. the hierarchy
of the church recognizes that it is the
work Of the whole church in America,
and therefore it should have. as It has
thus far had. the support Of all Cath
olics regardless of their fraternal af-
| filiations.
