THE FATHERS CLUB

Last Tuesday evening. in response TO
an invitation from number of mys-
terious persons calling themselves
-The Fathers Club" thirty-six guests
assembled a the home of Mr. and Mrs
Frank Crosse. The appearance of two
tables. each accupying the length of a
room, led the company to suspect that
The Fathers Club" was-or expected
to be-a stuffed club. This impress
sion was strengthened as all engaged
in the. vain attempt to sample" the
contents Of each tempting dish that
was offered. In addition to the feast
each lady was presented with a beauti-
full white arnation-emblem OF the
Mothers Circle. Then, while we
were short OF breath, thick of wit, and
slow of tongue, from the effects of the
feast, the treacherous hosts with D.
W. Yaden as toastmaster, demanded a
speech from each lady present. We
made the speeches-but later the
worms turned. and but for our lind
ness of heart we would tell of the
numerous and heavy penalties paid in
reprisal for that demand. And we all
had good time.
The guests present were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Murer, Mr.. and Mrs. Joe King,
Rev. and Mrs. Swartz. Mr.. and Mrs.
Casada and Miss Dorothy. Mr.. and
Mrs. Yaden, Mr.. and Mrs. Ginger, Capt.
and Mrs. Phillips and Miss Twilla, Mr..
and Mrs. Barber and Miss Edna, Mr..
and Mrs. Bolman and Misses Martha,
Margaret and Mary. Mrs. Doolittle.

Fred Turner. Robert Bolman. Mr.. and
Mrs. Fuller. Carl Bane. Miss Helen
Fields. Miss Erma Ginger. Mr.. and
Mrs Clark. and Mrs. Lewis.

IDAHO COAL SHORTAGE Z. PAST


| 10 THE PEOPLE AND RETAIL
COAL DEALERS OF IDAHO:
I am glad to advise the people ana
the coal dealers OF this state that IN
my Judgment the danger of coal short
age for the present winter is past
On Saturday of last week / held a
meeting with the coal operators and
jobbers Of Utah and Wyoming In which
I was assured that Idaho would ge
well cared for In the future Through
arrangements made with the coal op-
orators in December. the supply of
coal was materially increased during
that month. Idaho received 7z.eo0>tons
for December as compared with $4,000
tons for November. This increase to-
gether with the splendid weather Is
responsible for the present coal situa-
ton in Idaho.
I wish TO advise the dealers that
IL will not be necessary any longer
for them to comply with my order No.
9 in which the amount of coal deliv-
cred to any one customer should not
exceed thirty days supply. While
am not ready to advise the peopA to
store coal. there is no reason why the
dealers cannot deliver to any one GUS
tofer at the present time the amount
OF three to five tons IL the customer so

Somewhere in France" Dec. 2, IT.
Dear Will and Olive:
Just a line this beautiful Sunday
afternoon to let you know that l am
still alive and feeling fine. l be-
lieve that l have written to you
since l have received a letter, but |
am going to write real often if only
little for it certainly seems good to
get letters from the states.
1t takes from four to six weeks to
get a letter after you mail it. you
know, so you must not wait for an
answer before you write agian. for
if you do | would only get six
letters a year.
This is a beautiful day here and
very much like fall day in Vermont,
| was just thinking that last year
about this time l was at your place
on my annual hunting trip, and ]
sure do miss it this year.
We had a very pleasant day
Thanksgiving, and very good tur.
key dinner. Itcertainly tasted good.
We have very comfortable quarters
and plenty of good food to eat all
the time so why should | complain?
l am getting fat every day. and
never felt better in my life. Oh
course this game is whole lot diff.
ferent than building freight cars
but it isn't so bad | guess after you
get used to it, if you don't die get
ting used to it. Ha! Ha!
| 90 out horseback riding real of.
ten, and it is great sport to go of
cross country through an entirely
strange piece of ground.
I expect to have motorcycle now
before long, and then I will make
some time, but just remember that
l haven't forgotten the time
"spilled" the Ford.
We have a dandy phonograph in
our company that the people of
Montpelier gave the company, and
it is beauty; it is an Edison Dia.
mond Disc. We have several of my
favorite pieces, and the only thing
that / don't like is that it nearly
makes me homesick sometimes.
l am rather busy just at present
for my captain is away, and l am in
command of the cOmpany. and as
you can imagine, 189 men gives a
fellow something to look after to
keep everything going straight and
look after all the paper work and all
alone.
l had a letter from Edna. a few
days ago, and it did seem good to
hear from her, as it was the first
letter | have had from her since
