A Successful Surprise.

The following was clipped from tn,
Jordan Valley Express and refers tt
Charles A. Hackney, formerly editor
of the Elmore Times, but now located
in Jordan Valley, where he is secre
tary of the Red Cross.
The ladies of the Red Cross Society
which means nearly every woman in
the town and valley, planned and exc
cuted very happy surprise ON the
secretary of the society last Monday
evening.
The surprise was in the form of a
bachelor shower" apropos of the
secretary fitting up bachelor apart
ments, and was an appreciation of his
efforts in the Red Cross work. AS a
result, the aforesaid secretary expert
enced one of the proudest and hap
piest evenings of his life and has one
of the best-equipped bachelor apart
ments in the county.
The affair was held in the parlors
at Hotel Jordan and was attended by
nearly an hundred people. The
Shower" developed into a regular
deluge and rained about everything
in keeping with the purpose in view
from dishcloths and magic securing
mitts to silverware and cut glass, the
real thing. If all the generous do
nors had gotten together and plan
ned they would not have been able to
select a more diversified or more USE
full collection.
Many of the gifts were accom-
panied by CHEEKY messages and hui
morous verse One box contained
some very clever verse and-a sweet
faced doll, which latter has been
named "Petunia." A little bottle of
Sunnybrook proved to be nothing
stronger than vinegar.
After the many parcels had been
opened and the gifts admired by all,
and especially by the recipient, the
company adjourned to the ball room
and passed the time happily in dane
ing until midnight. Ice cream and
cake were served.
The secretary of the Red Cross now
keeps open house and all his friends
are welcome.

A Surprise.

The rgular monthly business meet
ing of the Baptist church held Wed
nesday evening, April 8 was the oc-
casion for very pleasant surprise
on the pastor and his wife, Rev and
Mrs. w F. r. Hartley After the
close of the business session a very
interesting address was made by for
mer Congressman McCracken of
Boise, in which he presented the
needs of the Baptist denomination
for the ensuing year. Mr.. Nc
Cracken emphasized the fact that if
Baptists as a denomination are to
cope with the new responsibilities
laid upon them by the war, its con
stituents must respond heartily to
the additional financial needs which
go with the launching of new enter
prises
Following Mr.. McCracken's address
the audience withdrew to the lower
room where a light banquet was
served in the course of which the
pastor was presentd with purse con-
tanning $50 which was in part pay
ment of the salary due Mr.. Hartley

MANY SUBJECTS
Sirens, Street Signs, Mad
Dogs, Ashes and Chickens
are all Considered at Meet
ing Tuesday Evening.

The meeting of the village council
Tuesday night was the longest meet
ing of that body in months, and took
up the consideration of more ques-
tions. After the usual bills had been
audited and allowed, the considera-
tion of new and unfinished business
brought up the mad dog scare and
the peace officers were instructed to
see that no unmuzzled dogs we're al
lowed to run at large. There have
been number of dogs killed in the
past week, that were believed to be
rabid, and the muZzles are for the
protection of the city against mad
dogs.
The old Crystal theatre, the old
Garrett livery barn and the other old
building east of Dr. Green's Office,
were condemned and notice will be
sent to the owners to show cause why
they shall not be torn down.
Clean up week was ordered to be
observed on the week beginning
April Is, during which rubbish can
be piled in the alleys and the street
commissioner will haul it away at
so cents a load. This is not to in
clude ashes and manure.
The street commissioner was in
structed to have warnings to keep
to the right placed at the center of
six prominent street intersections.
An inquiry was made at the re-
quest of ]. w. Caldwell as to who
was responsible for the fire alarm
turned in on Wednesday night of last
week, and Fire Chief Chris Hen
bricks stated that he had been un-
able to discover who turned in the
alarm, but that he had sent two
members of the department to the
garage to make repair on the truck
and that they were there when the
alarm sounded, and that the run to
the east part of town was made in
the belief that the fire was at Mrs.
Pence's.
