And the knots that were tied were as
steadfast as friends.
Now the old spinning wheel, with it's
spokes ranged in circle,
In each turn re-echoed the groans of
cycle;
Yet its grOaning and moaning and
murmurings low
Were like soft minor strains from
the long, long ago.
SO we turned 1t. Some spun long
threads Of the rolls
Which lay cross the base OF its neck
in white folds.
The winding blades now we should
not fail to mentiSS,.
Nor the hanks OF red thread which
attracted attention.
Nor the old colored "auntie' who
seemed ne'er to grow weary
or sizing this thread. (Her name was
Il ant Clary.")
Now the rugs on the railing. all
hung out to sun,
In silence attested to labor well
done.
Back to the "big house" we now
wended our way,
Retrospcction submerged into Joys
Of to-day
Hospitality's attentions are as ever
observed,
SO when all were seated the menu
was served.
The yiands Of sandwiches, salad and
cake
And coffee (Which kept the non-users
awake,D
Were served by Miss Bewley. with
Miss jamie. her sister.
And Miss Nculah Barker to kindly
assist her
with what rare enjoyment these
daintics We tasted.
The young ladies present sung songs
while We feastcd.
All too short the hours-the mo-
ments how neeting!
For the time had arrived now to
break up this meeting.
Ere leaving our hostess, we were
pleased to aver
That Tor most pleasant social our
thanks were duo her.
May she long live to welcome warm
friends In her home
Her name shall be cherished genera
tons TO come.

Tire Mileaxe Increase.

One of the most remarkable recent
movements to attain national promin-
ence is the one that has for its object
the pointing out of methods by which
motorists may obtain increased mile
age from their tires. One would ina
CINE that tire dealers would be pleased
to have tires wear out quickly, so
that new purchases would be neces-
sary But this is not generally true.
There is more rejoicing to-day over
one car owner whose tires run TO-
600 to $4,000 miles, than over humid
red whose lack of care prevents them
from getting many miles they are en-
titled to. This national tire conser-
vation movement will reach Emmett
on Friday and Saturday, July 2 and 8,
when Tire Conservation Day will be
observed. Carrying out the idea Of
helping all local motorists to secure
more service from their tire, the Gem
County Garage, Of Emmett, has ar
ranged to have an expert from the
Goodyear Tire 4 Rubber Company
present At the demonstrations, who
will give two entire days over to the
consideration Of the tire problems of
all local motorists, pointing out the
most insignificant repairs which, if
made in time, will add immeasureably
to tire mileage. The tire difficulties
of each motorist will be given indi-
vidual attention. Sections of tires
will be exhibited showing the differ
ent kinds of wear that tires are sub
ject to, and the methods of combating
them. Tire Construction will be fol-
lowed from the crude rubber of the
forest to the finished tire, ready to
start on its career of service. There
S nothing mysterious about tires, and
no good reason why motor
SITS should not know all about them,
md be saved many of the disappoint-
nents they experience when discard
ng tires which have passed away be-
ore their time.
