despise put on. We do not have
many put ons here in Caldwell but
we do have few. 1t don't take long
to get on to put on if we stop to
think things out. Even at my tender
age | have found them out pretty we'll.
One girl here in town whose father
don't have great sight of this worlds
goods tries TO put on. Her dad only
has iniquity in the home place where
they reside and a iniquity in a ten
acre tract out about four miles and
iniquity in small orchard. IF he
could sell all the iniquities he pos
sesses he, would not more than clear
the home place. No use in that girl
being put on. ! know all about their
tinanshall predicament and it is not
in the least oily. A put on don't feel
natcheral and they don't act hatcher
al no matter where you find them.
Better just be natcheral and let it 90
at that. A few little iniquities in
properties don't get you nothing.
At my tender age I can tell right
from wrong. Most anybody certainly
knows right from wrong. Its Just as
tar from wrong 10 right as it is from
right from wrong, and its down hill
in the latter race. ! stood in store
today and seen customer argue that
he had been cheated He had bought
something that did not turn out as he
thought it ort to. The merchant said
he did not make the article and he
was beat as much as the man who
bought it. The man says he would
send off to mail order house in the
future. The merchant replied that
there is where he bought a good deal
Of his stuff. The dillv rally went on
for some minutes until the merchant
said he would do what was right and
for the purchaser to state his fourteen
points Of settlement. Ten of them
was agreeable. After the man went
out the merchant sWorc and said that
that Teller has worked every MGR
chant in town just like that.
The public school system is Dragged
about a good deal, but at my tender
age can see room for big improve
ment. | am getting quite an educa-
ton, and yet | wont know what to do
with it. Then they make me work
away on stuff that | detest The stuff
that seems to be the hardest is what
they wear me out on and the stuff that
| can wade through with delight OF
the soul they keep away from me. Ii
seems that they want to make our
tender lives perfectly unbearable. Let
the school superintendent take this tc
hisself Our teacher is a good one
and doing all she can to promote oul
congeniality, but just what they ex-
poets us to do with what we are
poaring over just now dumfounds me
What good fifty years from now will
it do for me TO remember that I know
most of this stuff | learned now
Uncle EDO didn't have no education
and he got married Uncle John didn'
have no education and he got married
Pa didn't have no education and he il
about as we'll married as anybody OF
this earth. I am willing to go t.
school until / am of the unresponsibl
age. but let's learn something that will
enable me to make living withou
work or worry That seems to be tn
: slogan.
Now at my tender age | don't know
nothing against our honorable rea
estate men and be it far from me t,
write a piece that casts submersiol
: upon any of them. One of them wa
showing some town lots in the cas-
part of the town when the man says
are you sure these are Caldwell lots
The real estate man assured him tim
and again that they were Caldwe
town lots Whereupon tht purchase
. in prospect said that if he wern't aW
fully mistaken that .Nampa man ha
showed him the same lots week be
fore and swore they were Nampa lot
, Now at my tender age that seem
funny Any reader certainly has see
that the two town limits hug eac
other about as close as is decent in OF
society, and for Nampa man and
Caldwell man to show the same lot
and both be claiming them, its re;
funny to say the least,
I've never swcared any since m
born days. Now that's the trutl
