FAMILY MOVE AWAY.

T. H. McComsey and family start
I'd overland in their car for Spring

they expect to make their home. Thi
family has lived among US for 16
years and have made many friends
VINO viii regret their going away.
During that time Mr McComsey has
taken an active part in all affairs
tending 10 the upbuilding OF the
community. He has been q faithful
worker in the Commercial Club and
IN every move toward advancement
fer the City OF Payette. He is one
OF the kind that makes friends whera
ever he goes and has countless num-
bers in Payette TO leave who are
sorry TO see him go. He was the
prime factor in the work OF creating
Payette County and only for his
determined and teaIoas efforts in the
early part Of the work, it IS quite
likely the formation of Payette Couu-
K would not have been realized Just
before leaving few Of his friends

rr bag as token of remembrance
and it is hoped that the same may
,. used in frequent trips back to

BOYS GEL INTO TROUBLE.

Arley Scantlin and Charley VanRip
en-, two Payette boys about Is years
OF age were arrested by Day Mar
shall Jeffries last Monday night
and brought before Probate Judge
Lehman charged with burglary. 4
plea OF guilty was entered by the
young men and both were commit
ted to the State Industrial School
at St Anthony.
The boys were evidently intending
to do wholesale Job while they
were at il, as they hsd entered sew
eral houses and were cashing the
goods in an empty house in the west
side OF the town near the rail-
road track. They were discovered
while in the house occupied by
J. N. Stevens near the Payette
Mills. Mrs. stephens was away at
the time and Mr. Stephens, on re
turning to the house shortly after
dark on Sunday evening. heard some
one leaving the house by way OF the
kitchen door as he entered the
front door. He quickly ran around
the house and captured the lads
before they could make their escape.
Marshal Jeffries was notified and
he brought them before Judge Led
man. Among the articles stolen were
two suits of clothes and pair of
shoes which were taken from the
Jap restaurant, and from other pla-
ces, two ladies gold watches, reyol
yer. search light, khaki shirts, slip
p"rs, pocket knife, and lot OF
keys. Judge Lednan, who is also
deputy Sheriff, started for st. An
thopy with the boys Tuesday eve

A MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT

Payett is good live town in q
sood community, but there is one
much needed improvement that would
cost but a small amount and would
be 2 big asset to the City of Pay
site and a convenience to the farm
ars who drive in to town. We have
lief nee to public watering place.
Many a poor horse is driven hom
from town thirsty because of no
convenient place in which to give
him drink. 1t is q wonder with all
the red tape enacted in the laws of
the state, that this has been over
locked by our legislature. A law
making it compulsory, for all cities
and towns to be equipped with such
a place, would be a good law.

THE PSALM OF LOVE INTERPRET
ED FOR THE CHRISTIAN So
CIAL ORDER OE THE MORLD.

If l create wealth beyond the
dream of past ages and increase not
love, my heat is the flush of fever
and my success will deal death.
Though l have the foresight TO To-
cate the fountain of riches, and pow
er to preempt them, and skill to tap
them, and have no vision OF human
ity, l am blind.
Though l give my profits to the
poor and make princely endowments
for those who toll f6ne, if l
have no human fellowship of love
with them my life is barren and
doomed
Love is just and kind. Love is
not greedy and coyetous. Love ex-
ploits no one; it takes no unearned
gain; it gives more than it gets.
Love doss not break down the lives
of others to make wealth fer itself;
it makes wealth to build the life
of all. Love seeks solidarity; it
tolerates no divisions; it prefers
equal workmates; it shares its eff
cheney. Love enriches all men, edu-
Gates all men, gladdens all men.
The values created by love new
er fail; but whether there are
class privileges, they shall fail;
whether there are millions gather
ed, they shall be scattered; and
whether there are vested rights,
they shall be abolished. For in the
past strong men lorded it in ruth
lessness and strove for their own
power and pride, but when the
perfect social order comes, the strong
shall serve the common good. Be
fore the sun of Christ brought in
the dawn, men competed, and fore
ed tribute from weakness, but when
the sul day shall come, they will
woi, yas mates in love, each for all
and all for each. For now We see
in the fog of selfishness, darkly,
but then with social vision; now
we see our fragmentary ends, but
then we shall see destinies of the
race as God sees them. But now
abideth honor, justice, and love,
these three; but the greatest Of
these is Love.

DUCK SEASON SOON TO OPEN.

Next Sunday morning, Sept. 10th,
at sun rise the season will open
for shooting ducks, and We expect
many of the Payette Sports will
be out on that Gay. If they will
confine their shooting to ducks il
will be all right, but We hope they
will pass up the quail and pheas-
ants. and not molest the ducks after
sunset, for if they are driven away
from the roosting places. they are
apt to leave the country.
