One of the most peculiar valentines
by Allen Straw of Pittsburgh to Louise
Rovayer of Erie. 1t was nothing more
or less than large roll of white silk,
bearing the words: "This is for a
wedding dress. Please valentine me
with a yes" The silken valentine
was effective.
On Valentines day three years ago
two men sent their sweethearts rail-
road timetables to Niagara Falls, and
another man sent his lady love trunk
tied with white ribbons and strewn
inside with rice.
John Thomas Ray of Omaha won q
wife through valentine sent to a
young woman living. in st. Louis.
Rays valentine took the form of a
big red apple, to the stem of which he
had attached a card reading: "LOve
me and world of happiness shall be
yours. Love me not, and all that you
will have will be this apple. 1t is big
and red and pretty, but it will not
last any more than will the semihappi-
ness you believe you are enjoying
while single"
The popular jigsaw puzzles were
used as valentines by several wooerH
last year. One man, named Shaw, Of
Atlanta, sent one to his sweetheart
in the same city and with it the lines
'T've puzzled my brain to guess your
answer. Won't you put me in shape
again with 'Yes'?" The girl sent the
valentine puzzle back with note that
read: 81 do not want this puzzle. I'll
give you myself. / have been puz'
zle, / admit; but I'm going to solve
myself for YOU"
Another man, Stanley LemOyne of
Denver, sent one of the puzzles as a
valentine to Rhea Knowles of the
same town, with the note: ''This will
help pass away the dull hours for you
in case you refuse to marry me-" The
girl married him.
Odd valentines, these, indeed; but
odder still the valentine sent in 1906
by Reynolds Touhey of New York to
May Lindstrom of Brooklyn, valenI
tine that succeeded in leading the lat
ter to the altar. Touhey's valentine
was Dresden doll baby, and attached
to it was card reading: Imagine
having nothing more real than this all
your life !"-The Sunday Magazine.

CROP PROSPECTS ARE GOOD

AND HAY HELPED

BQISE.-The week was more or less
cloudy with a deficiency of sunshine.
The weather was decidedly cool for the
season and vegetation was somewhat re-
tarded in its development. Light frost
occurred in several localities, doing
slight damage to tender plants. Farm
work made good progress, except that
haying and threshing were interrupted
by showers. Damage by hail was he
ported in Custer and Bingham counties
Harvesting and threshing of winter
and spring wheat, barley, rye, and oats
are making good Roadway in all sec
tions; the harvest is advancing steadily
into the later districts in the higher Sc
lions of the state. Wheat harvest is
now in full swing in Bear Lake, Bpm
neville, Bingham, Madison, and Custer
counties, while in Canyon, Payette,
Twin Falls, and Minidoka counties
threshing is the order Of the day The
yields vary somewhat, but are in most
sections very satisfactory
The condition Of meadows and pas

lures is considerably improved The
third crop of alfalfa is making good
growth. Haying in Boundary County
was delayed by showers during the week
and much of the crop spoiled. Hay in
that part of the state is held at $45 a
ton, and in consequence not much live
stock will be wintered there.
Timely rains have greatly improved
the condition of the range. Green feed
is starting on the low range and feed
on the high range is making rapid
growth. The feed shortage that was
threatened in some of the western
counties earlier in the season apparently
has been averted Flies are no longer
troublesome and all stock are doing
fine.
Pears, plums, second crop strawber-
ries, and peaches are being marketed
The peach crop is short, but the quality
of the fruit is excellent. In the Parma
district, prune packing will begin about
September D. 1t is estimated that about
20 cars of packed prunes will be pro-
duced9 Few, if any, will be dried
Sugar beets and potatoes are coming
along in good shape Corn looks we'll

and melons are ripening slowly on ac-
count of the cool weather. Beet seed

Boise" as it terms itself, and bearing
the signature of Governor Alexander,
Adjutant General Moody and many
state house employees, saying that Van
Sicklin cannot defeat the nonpartizan
candidate and asking democrats to
throw their strength to Martin, has had
the opposite effect. Resenting the inter-
ference by state officials with the right
of the people to choose their own can
didates, the democrats here, including
the entire county organization and G. P.
Mix, state committeeman from Latah
county, have started in to work with all
their might for Van Sick1in and have
sent kilograms to other parts of the
state saying that Martin, candidate en-
dorsed by Governor Alexander and the
Boise "Jeffersonian Club" will be third
in the race, with Van Sicklin first.
No matter what result the fight may
have on the chances of Van Sicklin or
Martin securing the nomination, it
seems certain that it will leave sore
spots that will be hard to heal after the
primary and will hurt the chances of
the democratic nominee in the Novem-
Der election. Local. democrats have re-
ceived assurances from Kootenai, Sho-
shone and Bonner counties that the dem
ocrats are lining up for Van Sick1in and
against the state house bunch at

Letters and kilograms received by the
local organization here which is appar-

candidate who is canvassing northern
Idaho by automobile, and from friends
and supporters of his in many northern
counties, declare that Van Sick1in will
