Mr.. Will Wells,
Payette, Idaho.

MI VIII HeBS,
Payette, Idaho.
My dear Will:
The last copy of the Enterprise to
reach me carried an interesting an
nouncement, one upon which l want
to comment briefly. l refer to the
announcement that the Presbyterian
and Methodist churches of Payette
were holding union pre-Easter meet
ings. That is fine, but l wondered
why the other churches in Payette
were not joining in these meetings. Of
course there may be legitimate reas-
ons for it. But in these stressful days,
when the dividing lines are being
broken down, when so much is being
demanded Of the great church at large,
and when there is a general concious-
ness of the need of a full, red-blooded,
virile, practical program, the impact
of which will be irresistible, it does
seem to me that there ought to be
some way Of breaking across the di-
viding lines and establishing some
permanent cooperative scheme. AS 1
recall it, when lived in Payette there
were thirteen church organizations
and / think eleven church buildings. |
Such a state Of affairs in community |
no larger than Payette is unpardon-
able. Two church organizations, one
on the west side of the short line, and
one on the opposite side, centrally To-
Gated, each in its district, could min
ister to Payette in a way that would
command the attention of the whole
] feel so strongly upon
this problem of church union that l
would like to have my comment rel
ative to this situation reach the public,
# it is not asking too much of you.
With ldndest good wishes to you
and to my friends through
'ut Payette Valley, / am,
Cordially yours,
DAVID C. PETERS.

send it to Mr.. Turner. If We win

PLEASANT VALLEY SCHOOL.

A basket supper and social was
given by the teacher and pupils of
Pleasant Valley School in Sand Hol-
low on April 9Th for the benefit of
the Red Cross, a splendid program
of flag drills, patriotic poems
songs, ntc. The proceeds from the
sale Of baskets amounted to STOPS,
a beautiful cake had been prepared
by Mrs. A. ]. Harker with red
cross on top, was put up for the pret
tiest girl, eaach five cent bid entitled
the bidder to one vote. Here is
where Geo. Scott got in his work as
an auctioneer. The bidding came
thick and fast, with several youngg
ladies' in the contest for the prize
which finally closed in favor Of Miss
Inez Root, of Weiser Cove. The
proceeds from the sale of the cake
amounted to s51.95 making a. total
of s122.20 when added to the fund
already in the hands Of the Junior
Red Cross which had previously
been organized, made grand total
of s126.20. The cake was then do
mated to the Red Cross and brought
to Payette. There is certainly 10y
atty in the teacher Harry Farnham,
the parents and pupils of that sec
tion who are striving to make homes
in that dry country without water
for irrigation where a few years
ago was but the home of the

When S. D. Goad came Into our
office the other day and left the
price of years subscription and
asked to have the paper sent to
him at Tacoma, Wash, We noticed
a rather peculiar smile ON his face
and the evacive manner in which
he answered our questions as to
why he was going to leave Payette-
Here is the solution. On the even
ing of April 10th at the Methodist
Parsonage a wedding ceremony was
pronounced by Rev. H. K Wallis
in which s. D. Goad of Payyette
and Mrs. Bertha NJ. Caprs Of Ia
coma, Washington, were the prin-
pals. The happy couple left on
the evening train for Tacoma. The
good wishes of the Enterprise and
a host of friends goes with them.

Librarians have prepared and packed

the orders come. Some had to be dis
carded because of loose leaves and
backs and some were; purely juveniles.

lean" will be given Tuesday, May Z.
Remember the date. This is said to
be one of her best and it is a library
benefit.

Indications that something is to re
done to aid Russia multiply. Sons.
thing should have been done earlier
but it may not be too late. Russia has
earned ali the help that can be G-ven
her. 1t is not pleasant to contemplate
what might have happened to the civ
ilized part of the world if Russia had
not fought for three years and giv-n
the lives of millions of her sons to
save the world from Hun domination.
After all the sacrifices the Russian
people have made, it is unthinkable
that they should be permitted TO be-
come the slaves of Prussian miIitar-
ism.

TRYING 1T ON CALIFORNIA.

An Industrious and -1r fully
planned attempt was made recently
to organize the farmers of California
The leaders of this effort desired -
transplant to that state the North Da-
kota idea that has produce : cores of
pacifists, seditionists and other brands
of disloyalists.
Among the leaders ard hackers of
the movement, some of whom tried to
mask their participation, were to b :

leaders of the league in Minnesota
Wisconsin, North Dakota and South
Dakota.
The Nonpartisan League has not
been prospecting of late. At a primary
election in Minnesota a few laws ago
the league candidates were SUI pressed
by overwhelming maiorities of loyalist
votes. True, some of the candidates
of the organizat On were under indict-
ment for seditiou, but those few whom
the law had not yet branded farrd 40
better
Many candidates of the other par
ties refused to accept the leagues en-
dorsement. Many other persons who
joined the organization early and be-
fore it's tendencies We're discovered re-
fused to become candidates With thu
lea CUES endorsement. kno- ing that
such sponsorship meant defeat.
Perhaps California farmers who
were giving audience to the ag 4nts OF
the No1partisan League propaganda,
says the Oakland Tribune, were fore
warned by the disloyal conduct of the
league officials in other states. Ii
any event the movement does not seem
to be making much Roadway in this

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKSAH


1t has an odd sound, hasn't it? And
it is Just as odd as it sounds. Brent
Tor is a little bit of a stone church
built high on the frowning cliffs of
the wild North Devonshre coast III
England. The church is 50 little that
a Devonshire yokel with a keen sense
of humor is said to have inscribed this
cryptic warning which puzzled many
a simple minded Devonshire farmer.
IF you get into the second aisle of
Brent Tor, you will never get out
again." There is no second aisle in
the wee church at all.
Brent Tor was built centuries age
by a man who was lost among the
steep cliffs and rushing waters of the
mists enveloped him. In his anguish
lantic assaulted him, he vowed solemn
ly that if he ever came safely out of the
fog without pitching into the growing
ocean, he would build a church where
he landed. Brent Tor was the result.
The good folk round about Devon
shire tell how the devil tried to ham
per the building of the little church.
At last, st. Michael de la Rupe, to
whom 1t was dedicated, grew weary
of having the devil interfere with the
proceedings. The saint heaved a
great mass of cliff at his satanic
ma jesty. There was no further trouble.
A popularity of Brent Tor is the
fact that it can be seen from all ii-
rections-it is a veritable landmark
Before it toss the restless waves Of
the Atlantic ocean and behind it slope
the undulating Devonshire moors.

An attempt Of the Nonpartisan
League to gain a foothold in New
England brings forth tie following
from the Boston Transcript: The 1T
tempt to revive Greenbackism and
Populism here under the name of the
Farmers Nonpartisan League is prob
ably destined to sudden and sharp
failure because cur farmers know that
the organization is under the reproach
of opposinr the war, and they ere to
a man heartily in favor of the lars
prosecution. There is no hater Of Ger
man imperialism like the New Eng
land farmer. He burns for a chance
to get at the kaiser, and if he is young
enough for the service nothing re-
strains him from entering it voluntar-
lily but the conviction that he can do
the cause more good by staying at
home to raise food crops, at the cost
of L: labor without assistance and
with no profit on his crops. He kr ows
that the Nonpartlsan Farmers League
is one of the kaiser's traps for unwary
Americans. and he does rot purpose
to put his foot in it.
