PASSING OF MRS. THAYER

ten months; Carrie Mabel, wife of
Mark Prindle, of Payette; and Fred
Ward, who resides at PocatelIo. The
husband, Mrs. PrindIe and Fred are
left without the kind care and com
fort of a wife and mother
Col. and Mrs Thayer came to
Payette from Anetz, North Dakota,
fifteen years ago and cast their lot
with the people who had chosen the
Payette Valley as their home, and
ever since have been ever diligent
in building up the great common
wealth of Idaho.
About three months ago Mrs
Thayer was stricken with influenza
which later developed heart compli-
cations, and to which she finally sue
combed.
Mrs. Thayer was of that kind of
people who chose to work in a
humble way, who sought not fame
or fortune, but who was in deep ear
nest about doing the thing that need
ed to be done today. No finer thing
need be said of her than that she
was the kindest, the most helpful of
neighbors, patient in all things, gen
erous to faults. Her husband testi-
fies in strongest terms of her fidelity,
her genuine eompanionship and her
answering loyalty to the doing of

week from Buttermilk Slough after
a hard days work among the finny
tribe, none too well pleased with
their days catch, excepting ". A.
Coughanour however who was with
the crowd and gave the would-be
fishermen lesson in landing a real
fish. Mr.. Coughanour never uses a
pole; neither does any good sport
who understands letting out his line
and handling the reel with a large
gamey fish. The day was not very
favorable but man who understands
fishing can always hook few good

selected a spot on the bank where he
was sure big one was in waiting for

A PROCLAMATION
BY THE GOVERNOR

the price of liberty, and the necess-

conserved for future generations,

damental institutions on the part of
our citizenship generally is unques-
tionably sound, but less forcibly ex-
pressed than is the radical sentiment
of militant minority, and
WHEREAS, May first has long
been observed as an occasion for radi
cal celebrations subversive of good
citizenship, and
WHEREAS, it is planned to OBJ
serve May 1, 1920 throughout the
United States as AMERICAN DAY,

thusiastic demonstrations of good
citizenship and goodwill, and
