Rocking chairs are an American IN

found today pretty much all over the
civilized world. In England they are
invariably referred to as American
rockers, and indeed this application
IL not confined to that country. Here
and there on the continent you win
hear or them In the same category.
Authorities are widely at variance as
to the time and place of the very first
rocker. But that the first one was
turned out more than 200 years ago
there Is little room for doubt. It Is
fair to assume that 1T was the inven.

"How many, pleasew inquiries the

After you've done some chain light

more, as the case may be. Now that
the head waiter knows How many,

upon which white linen island to To-

He frowns slightly and purses up his
lips Baffied, he hesitates. At this

party she declares positively that she
wants to ''sit over therer' For some
unknown reason this suggestion 10 al
ways frowned down by the head
waiter.
Once upon time q woman IN said
to have been allowed to sit az the
table she picked out, but doubtless
this lie pretty fiction.
The head waiter tries to fit you TO
center table. As there are plenty
OF cory ones around the sides Of the
room, you turn down this selection Of
his. and then he grudgingly precedes
your party to side table, but not the
side Of the room that you prefer
to sit on. However. by this time you

who sustained a broken elbow some
time ago while haying on the Geo.

The fracture was considered an ex-

a question as to whether the arm
could be saved or not. The X-ray
machine was used by DIR. Rains and the
bones wired together. For a man Of
Mr.. Humiston's age IL is considered re-
markable that his recovery has been
so rapid.

Local Land Once Hands Down Deci,
sion IN Contest Case Involving


Local Land Once Hands Down Deci-
sion IN Contest Case Involving
Homestead Application Of Wilson.
The register and receiver Of the
local United States land Office yester-
DAY rendered their decision In the
contest proceedings instituted against
the homestead application Of John l..
ana Lottie NJ. Wilson by Elizabeth
Mathewson, In which they recon-
mend that entry or the Wilson's be
allowed to remain intact The land
involved Is located on the upper Snake
river
The contest was waged on the
made by John Il. Wilson in October,
1915, applied to ground entirely suit
able for agricultural purposes, par
ticularly as to the growth OF grasses
tc the extent Of bringing In q suit
able remuneration: that the entry
man never made amy expenditures on
the land, nor did he make any per-
manent improvements, nor purchase
any water right for irrigation.
The case was heard one year ago
and continued at that time. until de-
positions could be fled and finally
closed before the local officers last
January. The findings Of the register
and receiver are that the Wilson's
had complied with the laws as appli-
cable In the case; that between the
parties at contest much bad feeling
existed, and that the witnesses on
both sides evidenced other than
friendliness toward those giving testi-
money In behalf Of the litigants, and
that the land Is desert in character.
