ODD THOUGHTS OF CHILDREN
There Is Mental Region Into Which
the "Grownups" Have No Right
to Enter.

This is a region into which the
"grownup" has no right of entry and
no key to turn the lock, says London
Spectator. Only now and then a flash
may disclose the inner receSSeS and
throw a sudden light. on an entirely
surprising line of thought. A child
frequently cherishes a theory of its
own, which appears quite reasonable,
for the enchanted precincts within,
where the supernatural obtains as
ready an acceptance as the common
place. A little thoughtful boy of my
acquaintance was asked the usual
question, what he was going to be.
He answered with great decision:
"Oh! land agent of course, like dad
dy." And l think daddy and the
land agency profession scored a COM
pliment.
Time does not exist for children,
who worry over no human limitations.
A little girl saying her hymn, "There
is u green hill far away" was thrilled
to hear that her mother knew the lady
who wrote ii. Then she repeated her
psalm, and added gravely: "And did
you know David, tooT The train of
thought is rather charming which led
a little boy, when told not to mention
a guests amputated foot, to say: mo,
and when l get to heaven l won't say
anything to John the Baptist about his
head" Surely politeness could go no
Ca,
mental image is conjured up in the
child's mind from that suggested by
the grownup story teller. One mother,
recounting at great length the details
of the illness of a little dog to her
small girl several times mentioned
"the dog doctor" She was surprised,
at the very end, by the question:
"What sort Of dog was the dog doc
tori"

KOBE HAS WESTERN FLAVOR
Big Busting Japanese City Seems
Proud of Having Occidental Rather
Than Oriental Appearance.

When you arrive at the hotel In
Kobe the management informs you
proudly that they have the biggest
dining room between Calcutta and San
Francisco. This is a foretaste of a
string of disappointments that await
the tourist who is in search of the
real Japanese flavor. Kobe Is big,
bustling prosperous city, but it is proud
of being up-to-date and Western rath-
er than being curious and Oriental.
The hotel is full of European travel
ers and business men, the streets are
full of people in Western costumes,
and on the whole you are likely to de-
eide that you might have stayed in
Kansas City.
If you refuse to be disappointed,
however, and extend your explorations,
you will find that the Enthusiastically
japanese quarters of Kobe are the big
gest part of the city and it is still
going about its affairs in the japanese
way. Here are the narrow crowded
streets, the bounding rickshaw men
who pull up and grin good naturally
mt each other after averting fatal
collision by hairs breadth, the rows
on rows of little low shops with their
big, incomprehensible signs, and the
homogeneous groves and forests of tele-
graph poles.
The telegraph and telephone pole to-
day is really more feature of the
Japanese landscape than Fujiyama, the
sacred mountain. The modern Jap
anese fan should show a line of
conventionalized telegraph poles dis
appearing in impossible perspec-
tive rather than the cherry blossoms
and fan-wielding maidens who belong
TO past age. For some reason Japan
has proved fertile soil for the tele-
graph pole. The wires run under
ground and apparently more poles are
used than there is any necessity for.
The poles are the most conspicuous
feature of the Kobe landscape

WELCOMING the Actor.

A well-known society performer vol
unteered to entertain roomful of
patients of a lunatic asylum, and
made up very successful little mono
logue show, entirely humorous. The
audience in the main gave symptoms
of being slightly bored, but one high
ly intelligent maniac saw the whole
thing in proper light and, clapping the
talented actor on the shoulder, said !:
"Glad you've come, old fellow. You
and l will get along fine. The other
dippies here are so dashed dignifed.
What / say is if man is mad he
needn't put on airs about it"-Lon-
don Opinion.

Well. Maybe So.

A fiction writer is the hero of this
tory:
Last summer he was going through
particularly dangerous stretch OF
,ad in the mountain Businesses of
.entucky. A COW, dazzled by the head
yht. failed to get out of the road and
iae car smashed into her. putting the
aghting apparatus out of commission.
'9There were many lightning bugs
iyiug around" he said, "and so set
he members of my party to work
catching them. We used bottles that
we had in our lunch boxes, and filled
Wo full of the bugs. They gave out
low that could be seen probably 300
eat ahead. We tied the bottles, well
orkeds on to the front of the car,
nd then proceeded into the village
afely. / rarely tell of the expert
zee, because few will believe it, but

Wonderful Cave Found.

A wonderful cave has been discov-
cred at the lime quarries about 10
miles from Potgietersrust, Cape Colony.
A workman, using his pick, came to a
large hole, and this proved to lead TO
a wonderful cave containing the most
beautiful stalactites-a really wonder
full sight. These pendant cones OF
carbonate of lime, attached like icicles
to the roof of the cave and formed by
the dripping of the water charged with
the carbonate from the rock above,
are in various and in some cases most
intricate designs, and should be OF
great interest to biologists. The cave
is about 80 yards long and 80 wide, and
no one ever dreamed of its existence.

EFFECT OF WANDERING
Day-Dreaming With Purpose is All
Right but Much Time is Lost IN
Kind That Serves No Purpose.

Have you ever stopped to think how
much time is lost in mind-wandering!
How many times during the day do
you let your thoughts wander from the
main task at hand? And once per-
sons thoughts start wandering, now
they skip from one link of recollec-
tons to another until a chain Oh
wasted moments is forged!
Mind-wandering seems to be gen
eral characteristic of the human race,
but those who have succeeded in con-
1uering the characteristic and concen-
trating upon the task at hand have
been the men who have moved ahead
in the business and professional world.
Day-dreaming is all right when the
dreams are busy with plans for pro-
noting business methods or with ideas
for practical inventions-and when
other work is not being neglected.
The inventor of the steam engine,
watching the steam in kettle lifting
the top of the pot and day-dreaming
about what that power might be made
to accomplishments not wasting his
time, but was advancing the human
race.
Useful day-dreaming is all right, but
mind-wandering should be relegated to
the scrap heap.-Arkansas Democrat.

Speed of Waterfowl Measured.

The speed of waterfowl has often
been measured with great accuracy.
Two men take positions on duck
pass a measured distance apart. The
first man carries stop-watch and a
gun, and the second a gun only. AS
the fowls pass the first blind the timer
shoots in order to brighten the birds
into full speed, and starts his watch.
AS the ducks pass the second blind the
man there fires a shot, and the timer
stops his watch. The usual length Of
the course is quarter of mile al
though a mile track" is sometimes
used.

Prune Quality. Although prune
growers report a very heavy drop
during the last 10 days yet indications
are that the quality of the prunes
that remain on the tree will average
fairly well with other years. We
believe prune prices will advance be-
cause OF the reduced tonnage.
Chickens in Town. Pultymen in
Town are beginning to realize that it
costs money to buy grain for their
back yard flccks. Confined within
small pens, often hot and unshaded,
they consume large amounts of FEED
without making much apparent gain,
This is often the case unless varied
and appetizing ration is fed. Farm
flocks have bugs and green feeds in
abundance and plenty of fresh water.
Some town flocks get no green feed
not even the fresh clippings from
the lawn. If a small plot can be plant
ed TO turnips within the next few
days they may be made to help out in
the feeding next winter Of course
if you feed COW you can use a much
larger planting.
Festival Prizes. Miss Sutton is
having excellent success in securing

State Fair Exhibits. Payette
County will be asked to make county
exhibit at Boise this year and this is
none too early to be thinking about
the material you can furnish. There
ought to be classy exhibition of
small grains, boxed fruits, potatoes,
beets, ETC., and various live stock such
as hogs, poultry, cattle and horses.
Some of the states finest livestock Isl
owned right here in Payette County.
Jaclrabbits. These varmints are
doing much damage to green crops in
exposed fields. Trapping, shooting,
fencing, poisoning, all seem made
quate. One man reports that they
have already destroyed a acres Of
potatoes and he plans to spray his
ines with i poison mixture. Who
has a sure remedy that will work
while the farmer is working else
where?
