A Great Success.

The K. K Ks added new laurels to
their crown in the production Of the
comic operetta, Jack and the Baked
Bean Stalk at the Liberty Friday
evening, and was witnessed by large
audience. The costumes were ele-
giant, the singing and acting were es-
pecially good. Miss Josephine Way
man, as the Ogre, made a great hit.
Her masculine makeup and her de-
meanor were so fiercely realistic that
the little folks even dreamed Of her
as very bad man. The receipts were
S121. During the intermission, pure
bred Cotswold eve, donated by James
Little, was raffled off and netted over
500. Mrs. Hawkins held the lucky
number. She put the sheep up at
auction, adding $40 more to the Red
Cross fund. 1t was bid in by the auc-
tioneer, Col James Barnard. All the
proceeds from the sheep was turned
over to the Red Cross and the re-
ceipts from the concert were divided
between the Y. NJ. C. A., the Red
Cross and the library fund, which the
X. K. KS started a couple of years
ago, and have been adding to since.

From John Gamage-

Somewhere on the Atlantic, Decem-
ber 27-I don't know when this let
ter will reach you, but will write just
the same. l am feeling good. Have
been on the water for over two weeks.
We cannot tell anything about our
trip and transports, but we are on a
sure-enough big boat, nearly 700 feet
long. There are several transports in
the fleet.
l have not had my clothes off for
four or five nights, but was used to
that before l got on the boat. | have
not been sea sick, but believe | know
what it is and found out don't want
to be in the navy.It sure was a dull
Christmas out here in the war zone,
but that is all in soldiers life. l ex-
pect | will get the Christmas box
from Hoboken when we get to France.
1t makes a fellow fill up to see U.
S. gun crew in action with our six-inch
guns and larger ones.
Gee, if | ever get back | will have
booksful to tell you, but the officials
keep such a close tab on US fellows
that we can tell nothing. | expect
the people in Emmett will begin to
realize that there is war when they
hear of us fellows in France. We are
close by now l think. l sure will be
happy when can place my shoes on
the good old soil again. l will jump
up and crack my heels together. Tell
every one Merry Christmas for me.

IS
NEW SENATOR
Appointed by Governor Alexander to
Succeed Late Senator Brady

John F. Nugent, Democrat, of Boise,
was appointed United States senator
Tuesday by Governor Alexander TO
succeed the late Senator James H.
Brady. The new senator will serve
until next general election, when the
vacancy in Idaho's congressional dele
cation will be filled by the people.
Governor Alexander announced the
appointment at u o'clock noon at his
office in the statehouse in the presence
of his own family, Mrs. Nugent and
some of the state officials. There
were tears in Mrs. Nugent's eyes when
she thanked the states chief execu-
tive for the honor which he had con-
ferred upon her husband
Governor Hawley, when he learned
on Tuesday that Mr.. Nugent had been
appointed, gave out a statement con-
tanning formal announcement that he
himself will be a candidate for the
short term. Mr.. Howley, by inference,
shelves Senator Nugent, and suggests
that it will be a rare old fight when
Nugent contests the long term cleo
ton with Senator Borah in November.
As usual, Governor Hawley is game
in the face of defeat. He makes no
secret of having coveted the interim
appointment himself, but said Tuesday
afternoon:
81 had hoped, of course, to have
received the appointment, and while |
l have made no personal effort in the |
matter, l understand that great |
many of my friends in different sec
tions of the state have requested the
governor TO appoint me. 1t is only |
natural that l should feel a certain
degree of disappointment in not hav
ing been chosen, but the power of ap-
pointment, under the statue, is given
to the governor, and TO the governor
alone, and it was his province to
choose the one upon whom the honor
would be conferred"

A Rare Curiosity

A contribution TO Frank Knox's val
liable collection of curios and histori-
cal relics was made recently by An
thony Peterson. 1t consists of sheet
of some substance closely resembling
chamois skin in texture and thickness.
and was taken from pine tree cut
in 1891 by Mr.. Peterson near Placer
vile. The tree was about inches
thick, and the sheet mentioned above
was taken from the body.

WILL TACKLE
HIGH TRAGEDY
Red Cross Minstrels to Present Ham
let-To Appear in February

The Red Cross Minstrels, which vii
blossom out in all their glory early ir
February, are ambitious. Not con.
tent with offering fine program OF
songs, dancing, and other black face
features, the company will tackle
Shakespeare's most tragic production,
Hamlet, with Charlie Gamsge in the
stellar role, Duncan Hunter as the
queen, Ed Hayes as the ghost "that
would not down." and assisted by a
galaxy of histrionic stars. The way
the boys are taking hold Of the play
gives promise that Booth and Bar
rett and Keene and James and all
other famous Shakesperian actors of
bygone days will rise up in their
graves and demand an encore after
they have heard it
Ed Hayes has, as usual, been select
ed as the master Of ceremonies. We
say, "as usual,r because aside from
his talents in that capacity, he is
the only man in town owning a full
dress suit. The end men will be
Duncan Hunter and Reub Eaton.
Larry Blaisdel and Reub Eaton and
genius of remarkable abili-
~ will do-the buck and wing clog
iancing.
Save your money, white folks; for
i will be q hot number.

REVIVAL OF The RAB-
BIT INDUSTRY
L. S. Department of Agriculture
Urges Raising of the Bunnies
For Meat.

The raising of rabbits is again be
ing revived Twenty years or more
ago it was popular diversion fol
those who were handy with figure:
to compute the increase of pair Of
bunnies, and the figures ran into amaz-
ing and alluring proportions. Now
the United States department Of agri-
culture is advocating revival of the
industry in order to help out the ma
tion's meat supply.
The country is patriotic and any
suggestion from headquarters in the
interest of winning the war is grab
bed hold of with avidity. Many En-
NETT people have engaged in the in
dustry, some even going so far as to
sell off their chickens and replace
them with rabbits on the ground that
grain is scarce and expensive, while
rabbits will thrive on most any old
thing of a vegetable, fruit or grass
nature
One of the most enthusiastic breed
ers of rabbits in town is c. VI. Nav.
He has several pens of aristocratic
stock, the sires of which cost their
weight in silver-almost. Dogs are
the greatest menace to the rabbits,
and Mr.. Nav has suffered consider
able loss from this source.
A bulletin sent out by the depart
ment points out that rabbit raising
is the only sure short cut to a meat
supply and to certain wealth. The
bulletin says that the average mother
rabbit may be depended upon for a
litter of six or seven young every
twelve weeks, or twentyfour to twen-
ty-eight young rabbits a year. The |
ancients taught that Opportunity is
bald behind so that she most be
caught by the foreiock as she passes.
Assume that we had connected with 1
the forelock of Opportunity ten years /
ago by going into the business of rab- /
bit raising, simple calculation will 1
show where we should be now. Had I
we started with a dozen doe rabbits,
the end of the first year would have
seen US the owner of 240 young rab-
bits and y does, or a total of 252.
Il only one half of these produced the
average of twenty, We should have
lad at the end of the second year
1916 rabbits and at the end OF the
enth year We should have owned
~, ATS, ,7S3, ,801 rabbits, or enough to
eed the allies until Kaiser Bill is lick
d to a frazzle. After reading this
'ulletin and realizing the opportun-
ties we have missed in this rabbit
aising business, We are disposed to
ay with the pessimist that the disap-
ointments of manhood succeed the
Illusions of youth and that the herit-
ge of old age is depair.

Lost in Snow Storm

While Mr.. and Mrs. Merton Cook
were on their way from the ranch
to the depot at La Junta, Colo. in an
auto, TO take the train for Emmett, s
couple of weeks ago, they became lost
in the prairie during snow storm
and were out for IL hours, suffering
severely from the cold. The mercury
WAS 21 below zero, and the party
only had few lap robes TO protect
them from the raging blizzard.
Mr.. Cook had one of his ears frosted,
and the drivers feet were frozen.

Garden City, N. Y, Jan. 14.-Dear
Dad-Just line to let you know that
l am getting along just fine. Like
the life better every day. Since | have
not heard from anyone since | left
Camp Lewis, and as we are not grant
ed passes so we could go to New York
or any place of interest, it makes 1T
hard to find or write real news. If
am as lucky as things look at present
the chances are that l will spend a
week or two with Don Sanders, but
as yet there is nothing certain-just
living in hopes. We have been issued
very near our full equipment and as
our barrack bags have gone, expect
to leave most any hour. They are
not paying the fellows until they are
to leave, as a great many are taking
French leave" But nothing like that
for me. VIII try and drop card
when we leave. We don't know yet
what our work will be, for we have
been playing the ''watchful waiting"
game ever since l hit San Antonio.
We have fine bunch of officers, but
we do not get near the training we
lid at Camp Lewis. Has Floyd San
lers left Camp Lewis yet? We are in
iandy barracks, but the field looks
ike the land in the vicinity of the
olock House slough when it is COW
red with ice and water. The climate !.

On Board U. S. Steamship, Christ
mas Day.-Just think of being on a
steamship 800 to 1000 miles from the
French coast, with heavy sea and
a heavy wind blowing, very few ac-
.commodations, and none but SOL
.diers and sailors on board and you can
imagine what fine Christmas it is.
We had a Christmas dinner-turkey,
dressing, peas, potatoes and pudding,
