CORsETIERE RETURNS

Miss Lillian Spottswood of Far
ber's Store, has just returned from
a weeks intensive study at the Cos
sard School of Corsetry at Spokane
She has received the Gossard Diplo-
ma of a graduate corsetiere. D
This diploma is awarded only
after the successful passing of the
most rigid examinations in all branch
es of corset fitting pertaining to the
most modern corset department
Miss Spottswood says that modern
hygenic corsetry as originated and
developed by Gossard corsets is
blessing to all womankind She says
that if more women would buy their
corsets with a full appreciation of
their Importance there would be
fewer female invalids.
Style, Miss Spottswood says, is
simply correctly poised body in
duced by correctly designed and
fitted corset. She states that she
can give this Elusive charm with
perfect comfort and safeguarded
health to every type of figure.
The women of Payette and sur
rounding country may well deem it
a privilege to have the services of
Miss Spottswood at their disposal.

"A STITCH IN TIME

l. w. Kenward had little ex,
Iperience in fighting fire yesterday
morning that resulted in the saving
of his home on the ranch. He was
up stairs changing his clothes when
he noticed an unusual sound in
the garret above. Upon opening the
trap door he found the roof was
on fire and a hole burned through
several feet across. He at once call
ed for water which was brought
from below and by the use of dip
per the fire was soon extinquished.
1t was just case of stitch in time
and cool head that saved the.
house.

FARM BUREAU
NOTES

ADVERTISING IDAHO. Satisfied
customers are generally considered
the best advertisements a firm can
have The 5000 satisfied residents OF
Idaho who expect to go East on the
G. A. r. excursion ought to be very
satisfactory advertisements of the
state. These from our own county
will take many boxes of apples as
lproof of the excellence of the
place. And if they could also take
along a few descriptive folders of
the county, well pictured, the advei>
tising value would be immense. Why
not import 100 families from the
mid west as fruit harvesters? Even if
they returned east they would be ex-
.cellent advertisers in their own sec.
tions until such future time as they
themselves come here as permanent
residents.
COMING EVENTS. Jonathan pick
ing begins Sept 5th and ends Oct.
5th. The State Fair exhibits must
be assembled to forward Sept. 18th
Let us know NOW what you have to
send
FIELD PEAS. In making up our
county exhibit for the State Fair we
cannot locate any field peas. The
exhibit committee needs field peas
to complete the exhibit. If you
know where they are being grown
please phone 241.
CLUB EXHIBITS. The exhibits by
the boys and girls last Friday were
excellent Their parents can well be
proud of them. Elsewhere in this
paper the Club Leader has listed the
winners in each exhibit class. We
expect them to win at the State
Fair also.
FRUIT PICKERS. Many orchard
men do not appreciate the value of
good housing for their pickers. Many
of them think that their pickers can
sleep under a tree without rain pro-
lection or other comforts. Then
when their help leaves they get
frantic and boost prices which de-
moralizes all other pickers. The
resultant loss is great in fruit and
time wasted and money lost. Wei
suggest small comfortable wood !
shacks or tents set on board floors.
Make your help comfortable, pay a !
bonus at the seasons end for good
work and your pickers will keep con
tented. And contented pickers are
the money makers.
EXHORBITANT THRESHING. Be-
cause certain threshing outfit was in

RETURNS WITH FRENCH BRIDE

Charley Tussing returned last
Saturday, the first of our soldier
boys to return from France with
the real evidence of mixing matri-
mony and war. Charley evidently
went overseas with the intention of
doing his full part in licking the
Kaiser, and from all reports did,
but he went the rest of the boys
one better and returned with a
French bride whom we are pleased
to say is an exceptionally fine look
ing lady and will undoubtedly make
Charley a congenial companion thru
life. The Enterprise extends con-
gratulations and best wishes.

BOBBERS NEXT TIME

Judge Luther, c. c. Springston, E.
W. Pease and Geo. Corneilson re-
turned Sunday evening from a two
weeks fishing trip at the lake near
Tamarack. Their trip was all that
could be expected The weather was
ideal, grouse plentiful, and fishing
good as long as Springston's bobbers
held out, but he only supplied him
self with one dozen and they were
soon lost in the brush and swift
water. However they report plenty
of trout to supply the camp.

BIG CIRCUS
At WE|SER

When Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus
comes to Weiser, on Thursday, Aug
1928, for two performances, the-o will
be on exhibition in the menagerie
the largest hippopotamus ever brot
Ito America. 1t reached the circus a
few weeks ago and has been given a
place of honor among the many
other unusual specimens of, far
eastern animal life. The huge river
horse was caught, in British South
Africa by means of a pitfall-a deep
trench, the mouth of which is cover
led by a network of moss and sticks
to resemble the grassy earth. When
the animal took his fatal plunge, he
| fought so feroeiously that it requir,
ed fifty natives to drag Nm from
the dark hole and make prisoner
of him.
The children who visit the circus
will be delighted when they see the
two cutest little jungle babies that
ever rolled out of the thicket. To be
precise, however, they never saw a
jungle. being captive-born lions and
used to city ways. They are little
balls of soft fur with bright, blink
ing eyes and playful paws. Their
mother, and a proud best she S,
watches over her offspring zealously.
Woe be to the venturesome keeper
who seeks to pet those babies thru
the bars of the cage. Mamma is a
Jealous beast and will brook no in
reference in her domestic affairs.
One of the institutions on the
Hagenbeck-W Wallace circus grounds
that attracts much attention is the
travelling postoffice. Probably no
other office in America is visited
daily by such cosmopolitan gather
ing. Harvey Johnson is the post
master of Wallaceville. He is well
fitted for the job, as he speaks
French, Spanish, Hindoostani and
Polish and knows enough Chinese,
Japanese, Portuguese and modern
Greek to make himself understood
in those tongues.
An idea of the cosmopolitan as.
pect of the show may be had from !
careful study of all the people in the !
morning parade. For an hour the !
wonders of the earth unfold them /
selves. There are dusky queens, seat
ed in richly draped howdahs on the
backs of elephants; desert chieftains
perched on camels and dromedaries;
potentates and their ret
inues, in golden chariots and |
thrones; Australian bushmen and
boomerang throwers, on horses;
the military of European kingdoms,
richly customed; court ladies and
diplomates in coaches of state; ORR
entail statesmen, in rickshas and pal
anQuins, and savage chiefs and trlo-
esmen, in barbarian carriages Oh
war. The characteristic music of the
countries of the earth is played by
bag-pipers, great brass bands, organs |
reed and string orchestras, castanet
ballets, tom-tom players, drum and /
bugle corps, weird chanters, chimes
and siren pipes.
The circus has 1,100 employees,
65S horses and 400 menagerie ami !
mails. 1t travels on train of eighty
seven double-hAeth cars and during
the daytime is housed in twenty-five !
tents covering fourteen acres OF
ground. The show makes its own
light with a plant of dynamos. In
the canvas hotel 1000 meals are
served every day in the week.

ground is now being taxed to about
it's full capacity. and this commun-
itv is receiving some good advertis-
ing. The free shower bath seems TO
be the main attraction. Some of our
campers declare they are leaving in
Payette some of the dirt from at
least half dozen states as the
bath privilege here is the only one to
be found along the line. There are
from 12 to Is autos and from so to
60 people on the ground all the time.
1T is worth while to call on these
people and note the different camp
equipment One could get some
good ideas if contemplating a camp
ing trip.

The lineup of teachers is unusu

Of the new teachers, the Princi-
palsofs the High School, Mr.. Riordan
has been the principal of the High
School at Nampa until the close of
the last school year and is known as
one of the strongest and best High
School administrators in the State.
With Mr.. Riordan at the head of
the High School an unusually sue
cessful school year is assured, and
no person of High School age with
in the District can we'll afford to
miss the opportunities offered by
Payette High this year.
Mr.. Edmund H. Sweet comes
recommended by his former Super
intendent as follows: "a fine man,
an excellent teacher and a remark
able coach" He has been in service
for the last two years and his mill
tary experience will be of immeasur
able value to the Cadet Corps. No
boy, therefore, should miss the op-
portunity for this most excellent
training.
Miss Edna NJ. Rape returns to-
the Primary work in the Payette
Schools after an absence of four or
five years and will be welcomed as
a distinct addition to the schools.
The other new teachers coming
to the Payette Schools have had ex-
perience in teaching elsewhere and
come with established regulations
as successful teachers. The outlook,
therefore, is for one of the best
school years in the history of the
Payette Schools. If teachers, pupils
and patrons will pull together"
there is no reason why the year
Just ahead should not be the very
best ever.
