a desire to show Caldwell's apprecia-
ton for work which these men did.
No arrangements have yet been
made ]. S. Harrington, committee
chairman, has been busy harvesting
his wheat crop and threshing it and
has been unable to devote time to
committee work and outlining plans
for the festivities. In the meantime
many local service men are leaving for
work in other sections and the neces-
sity for prompt work is obvious. Mr..
Harrington has intimated that com
mittee meeting for that purpose would
be called shortly to provide for the
celebration.
Nothing is definitely known as to
exactly what form the celebration will
take. Several matters must be hashed
out before announcements are made.
Suggestions include welcoming cele-
bration to include all former service
men. Other suggestions include a
demonstration only for the men who
did not share the former festivities.
Whatever plans are finally decided
upon, there is little question but that
large turnout of enthusiastic service
men can be obtained. Men who were
entertained at the former event have
been loud in praising the cordial re-
ception rendered them.

SERVICE MEN
RETURN HOME
Caldwell Soldiers With Second
Engineers Surprise Friends
When They Return Unher-
aided Sunday.

While their parents and friends
were anxiously waiting for word of
their whereabouts and probable time
Of arrival, discharged soldiers from
the Second Engineers who were for
mer members of Company G of the
Second Idaho, were discharged at Fort
Russell and arrived in Caldwell unex-
pectedly Sunday evening and morn
ing. Few persons were aware that
they were coming, the opinion being
prevalent that it would be at least
another week before they reached
home.
There was no demonstration. The
boys, who had been through all that
the front lines in France have to
offer, quietly resumed their places as
private citizens. With their arrival,
practically every man who went from
this section to the service and who is
eligible for discharge, has returned.
Only the First Division remains in
France but it is not believed that
many western men are with that out
fit Some few may still be with the
Eighth Infantry regiment which will
be stationed for several months on the
Coblentz bridgehead with French and
English soldiers. This regiment went
from Camp Fremont and arrived in
Brest France, after the armistice was
signed. A large number of men from

absorbed, few in the Eight Infantry,
shortly before the division started for

CARS WILL RUN
OVER OLD LINE
BOISE VALLEY TRACTION CO.
WILL NOT MOVE TO
ARTHUR STREET,

Because they refused to post a
$4,000 bond to insure resumption of
operation of the Cleveland boulevard
route, the Boise Valley Traction COM
pany will not be permitted to run their
cars over the Sebree Arthur street line
as they requested of the city council
some time ago. The big bond was
asked to protect the bonding company
which purchased the special paving
obligation bonds and Of which the
Boise Valley Traction copanv will pay
more than $4,000 as its share of the
cost of paving.
Because of the inconvenience which
will of necessity be encountered in
running cars over the Cleveland bou-
levard route, the city council looked
with favor upon the petition of the
Boise Valley Traction company to
operate their cars over the Arthur
street tracks until the paving was COM
pleted. Some fear was expressed at
the time that the petition indicated
desire on the part of the traction COM
pany to vacate their franchise on
Cleveland boulevard in favor of the
Arthur street line in order that they
might evade paying the usual share of
paving costs. This fear was dispelled
when H. E. Dalton, general manager
of the Boise Valley Traction company,
stated before the council that their
only desire was to operate on the Ar
thur street lines during actual con-
struction.
Balk on Bond.
In accordance with his petition, the
matter was referred to the proper COM
mittee. James Boone, city attorney,
recommended that to insure good faith
the traction company post bond to
the amount of $4,000 to insure re-
sumption of their business on Cleve-
land. This procedure was not looked
upon with favor by the traction. COM
pany and their cars will continue to
run on Cleveland boulevard.

EXPERIMENTAL FARM
AIDS WEEVIL FIGHT
BIG FEEDING DEMONSTRA-
TIONS TO BE STAGED
HERE THIS WINTER.

That the University of Idaho expert
mental farm lying few miles south
of Caldwell will be largely devoted
this winter TO experimental livestock
feeding is THE statement of Julius
Nordby of the University of Idaho,
who is spending several weeks here
supervising the installation of feed
lots, sheds and other equipment pre-
paratory to beginning the actual ex,
perimental work this fall.
Locally produced feeds, consisting
largely of alfalfa and corn silage, will
be used in the experiments. About
l20 head of steers and several hundred
sheep will be used in the demonstra-
ton work. While some grain and even
Nordby states that everything which
will be used for the basis of the dem
onstration rations. will be of prac-
teal nature. The work is not so much
to discover what combinations of
feeds are practical here but what re-
suits can be obtained with rations
of known merit and which are being
generally utilized.
The scope of the work may be
gathered from the fact that the Uni
versity expects to purchase about
10000 feet of lumber locally to erect
sheds and other feeding equipment
and will be in the market for several
hundred tons of hay to supplement
that available from the experimental
farm.
| Weevil Scares.
Because of the continual encrouch-
ment of the alfalfa weevil and the
certainty of strict quarantine in the
near future disbarring Canyon county
hay from nearly all available markets.
the work is regarded as being of an
extreme nature. Farmers are con,

to do so through the medium of dair,

that this tieup of cars is due to the
efforts of growers to evade contracts
which call for the disposition of their
crop at figure lower than the pres
ent market price.
Some farmers in the Wilder section
just out of Roswell, have been truck
ing their crop to Parma and loading
there. This action during the pres
ent week was not occasioned by any
car shortage in that district, according
to w. R. Sebree, who states that the
Caldwell Traction lines can readily
handle at least so cars per day. Thirty
five is the maximum number which
have been delivered to that electric
road on any one day.

CHAPTER w.

The hero Of the fete, with the dark
eyed little beauty upon his arm,
reached the top of the second flight Of
stairs; and mere, beyond a spacious
landing, where two proud-like darkies
tended a crystalline punch bowl, four
framed gliding %slhouettes of walters,
already smoothly at it to the castanets
of LA Paloma." Old John Minafer,
evidently surfeited, was In the act Of
leaving these delights escorted by a
middle-aged nan Of commonplace APP
pearance. The escort had a dry, lined
face upon which, no ornamentally
but as a matter of course, there grew
a business mans short mustache; and
his thin neck showed an Adams apple,
but not conspicuously, for there was
nothing conspicuous about him. Bald
ish, dim, quiet, he was an unnotice-
able part of this festival, and although
there were a dozen or more middle
aged men present, not casually to be
distinguished from him in general as
pect, he was probably the last person
In the big house at whom a stranger
would have glanced twice. 1t did not
enter Georges mind to mention to
Miss Morgan that this was his father,
or to say anything whatever about
him.
Mr.. Minafer shook his sons hand
unobtrusively In passing.
"Tll take Uncle John ho,ne,r he
said in a low voice. ''Then 1 guess
I'll go on home myself-I'm not a
great hand at parties, you know.
Good night, George"
George murmured a friendly enough
good night without pausing. Ordi-
narily he was not ashamed of the Min.
afers; he seldom thought about them
at all, for he belonged, as most Amer
lean children do, to the mothers fam
ily-but he was anxious not to linger
with Miss Morgan in the vicinity of
old John, whom he felt to be a dis
grace.
He pushed %brusquely through the
fringe Of calculating youths who were
gathered in the arches, watching for
chances to dance only with girls who
would soon be taken off their hands,
and led his stranger lady out upon the
floor. They caught the time instantly
and were away in the waltz.

The large DON had rlled. and SO

The large room had filled, and so
had the broad hall and the rooms on
the other side of the hall, where there
were tables for whist. The imported
orchestra waited In the ballroom on
the third floor, but a local harp, cello,
violin and flute were playing airs from
"The Fencing Master" in the hall, and
people were shouting over the music.
Old John Minafer's voice was louder
and more penetrating than any other,
because he had been troubled with
deafness for twenty-five years. heard
his own voice but family, and liked to
hear 1t. Smell o. flowers like this al
ways puts me in mind o. funerals" he
kept telling his niece, Fanny Minafer,
who was with him; and he seemed to
get a great deal Of satisfaction out Of
this reminder. His tremulous yet stri-
dent voice cut through the voluminous
sound that filed the room. and he was
heard everywhere.
Presently Georges modification was
increased 70 hear this sawmill droning
harshly from the midst of the thick
ening crowd "Ain't the dancin' broke
out yet, Fanny? Hoopla! Les push
through and go see the young women
folks crack their heels! Start the cir
Gus! Hoopsey-daisy!" Miss Fanny
Minafer, in charge of the lively vet
eran, was almost as distressed as her
nephew George, but she did her duty
and managed to get old John through
the press and out to the broad stair
way, which numbers Of young people
were now ascending to the ballroom.
George began to recover from the deg
radiation into which this relic Of early
settler days had dragged him. What
restored him completely vas a dark
eyed little beauty Of nineteen, very
knowing in lustrous blue and jet; at
sight Of this dashing advent In the line
of guests before him George was fully
an Anderson again.

he said, his graciousness more earnest
than any he had heretofore displayed.
Isabel heard him and laughed.
"But you don't, Georgel" she said.
"YOu don't remember her yet, though
Of course you will! Miss Morgan is

You might take her up to the dancing;

duty here"
"Be d~1ighted," George responded
formally, and offered his arm, not
with a flourish, certainly, but with an
impressiveness inspired partly by the
appearance of the person to whom he
offered it, partly by his being the hero
Of this fete, and partly by his youth
fulness-for when manners are new
they are apt to be elaborate. The
little beauty intrusted her glo.ed fin

away together.
