dainty little snow-white daisy. HOW
did 1t get there, you wonder.-away
SO far from any of Its kind or kin!
Listen! / will tell you its story!
Once upon q time, in the late
autumn days, eleven tiny snowhakes
started out for a frolic. On the back
of the North Wind they Travelled
down, down from the cold north
country; down to the land Of oaks
and beeches; down to the land where
the summer had been.
And as they journeyed further and
further southwark and lower to the
earth they saw many interesting
and wonderful things. They saw the
crimson trees that grew ever browner
and barer; they saw the fields ana
meadows that seemed to shrivel and
grow brown before their eyes; and
best Of all, they saw many flowers.
OF course not as many flowers a. had
bloomed in the summer! Dear me.
no! But, you see, the snowfakes had
never seen flowers Of any sort be-
fore: and SO the very few they now
looked at on their journey seemed
many and wonderful.
$50 those are flowers" said one
of the eleven snowflakes to the North
Wind when he had pointed out some
new ones for them. "Those beauti-
full yellow blooms are fowers!"
"That they are" replied the North
Wind heartily. And seeing you like
them so we'll. / am tempted to wish
that I had brought you with me on
my first trip! You should have seen
the flowers then! Every nook and
corner of the earth was full Of them!
But by now. of course. many have
gone to sleep for the winter"
'"TeO bad, too bad" said the eleven
little snowfiakes. shaking their
heads. I'VE wish we could see
them"
''Never mind" said the North
Wind kindly. "rn take you where
the flowers grow in plenty, and you
may see to your hearts content"

VALUE OF COOPERATION.

1PHE luncheon given by the Boise Commercial club to
Howard V. Plat, vice president and general man.
ager of the Oregon Short Line, served to emphasize
two points That the Oregon Short Line the first citizen
of Idaho financially, duty to the state that it is not
at all disposed to shk that in it's present head Idaho has
q warm friend.
Mr.. Plat has much in common with Idaho, he
stated Here he began his railroad brakeman
from which humble position he has rsen by sheer force of
ability, to the commanding place he holds today. Here
cemented his early friendships. Here his children
born Here he has owned property for quarter of
a century Idaho indeed his home than any place
he has resided
It is pleasing to contemplate all these facts and asso
cations but the relationship of the railroad and the pub
lie must rest upon other than personal grounds and
should say there is nothing substantial for the
groundwork than twosided of interdependence
and purposeful policy of cooperation in broad develop
ment.
Where there's will there's way, and especially when
the way is paved to the goal of mutual benefit.

TOM GETS THE SURPRISE OF HIS
LIFE

Now, Mother" Mrs. Gerald loved
to hear her daughter In law say that

to get Il meal all alone as a surprise
to Tom. You know i have told him
nothing about my course in domestic

What surprise 1t will be to the
boy Mrs. Gerard was all enthusi-
asm for the plan. How did you
ever come up, with absolutely no
knowledge OF cooking?"
"Oh, it is easy to avoid learning
what you are not interested in. Be-
sides we lived in tiny flat Aunty
and I. We took most of our meals out,
getting only our breakfasts, and know
ing Aunt Lois you will not be sur
prised to learn that she did all the
cooking and housework."
"Wehn was married l knew very
little about cooking. but I was 30 in
terested that ! soon picked up a
| workable knowledge of it," remarked
the older woman. Il wonder you did
not take to trying experiments in
your coy kitchen in the flat"
"One would think So" replied Mar

I'VE all like to do what we can dc
well. l am proud OF the success
made at the school. l have registered
in the correspondence school and mean
to finish the entire course when we
get settled at Fairport."
Tom stared the next day when Mar
| jory refused to go for a walk with
him, giving as an excuse that she
had something very important to do.
What have you got on hand?" he
asked in surprise.
Your mother and have something
that we have planned to do" she re-
piled with such a twinkle in her eyes
that Tom cried out
Am l the victim Of a conspir-
acy?"
Just that" answered his mother
and the women left the room with a
great air of mystery. you are ex-
cused till dinner time" called Mar
jory over her shoulder. "Only be sure

What are those two up to-" Tom

his morning cigar before going to the
mill.

married as long as I have you will
have grown used to secrets and sur
prises. Women are never happy un.
less they are pulling off some such
stunt. Come on to the mill with me

you" So the two disappeared and left
the coast clear to Marjory. Mrs. Ger
ard gave her a free hama after advising
her to use the best china on which te
display her cookery. The air was full
of appetizing smells when Tom and
his father entered, but neither of tht

Some Reasons

Oklahoma residents claim that the
place has few superiors for agriculture
and mineral development. The state
affords more opportunity for DIVERSE
fled farming than any other in the
union with the exception of Texas.
Oklahoma has 1000 square miles of
land underlaid with coal and few. of
its mines more than opened. More
rivers with natural drainage capacity
than any other state save Colorado.
1t is eighth in railroad mileage, fif-
teenth in population and not yet ten
years old. Capitalization considered,
Oklahoma leads all other states in the
amount of money deposited in its
banks. Oklahoma surpasses any other
state in growth. Has more miles of
good roads and less improvements on
same than any state west of the Mis-
sissippi river. Oklahoma is first in the
production of peanuts, third in water
melons, first in tonnage in alfalfa,
fifth in vegetables. with less than one
tenth of the state trying to cultivate
garden products. Has the most envi-
able climate of all states save Cali
