Will the progress of the motion
picture habit be at the expense OF the
church, and other institutions that
are designed to improve the moral
tone of the community? At Boise the
streets are crowded on Sunday even
ing with people who are on the way TO
the movies, to see plays that are IN
most cases merely entertaining, and
have very little influence for the bet
ter things of life. Many are entirely
unsuited to Sunday atmosphere.
The leading film establishments or
the country are controlled by men
who do not have the reputation of be-
ing leaders in moral uplift. The pic;-
ure films, put out by these men, will
have an impression on the minds OF
the growing generation, for the
thought of the people is Influenced
by the entertainment they have.

MAGNOLIA MUSICIAN MAKES
 GOOD IMPRESSION HERE

Glen aMrteI a Magnolia young man. who filled the place of Lu Ring of the WalcDtt Ring Concert Company. at the Chautauqua last evening, created a vry favorable impression on Pres colt people with his wonderful bari tone voice and his executions on the flute, his flute playing proving him to be past master of this art.
 Young Mir. Martel, was handicap ped in giving the best he had with his voice, by being the unfortunate pos sessor of badly sprained ankle, nee essitating the use of crutches while off the stage and a cane while sing ing Mr. Ring, who is ill at Magno- ia would have without doubt pleased our people, but Mir. Martel more than filled the bin being ably assisted with the accompaniment on the piano by Miss Helen Louise Walcott. The young Magnolia singer received most of his training at the conservatory al Henderson-rown College but his nat. ural ability as baritone is one Of his great assets and in our opinion ii destined to place him high in tho world of musical art. Mr. Martel won large circle of admirers by his appearance here yesterday afternoon and evening the report is current this morning that he will likely finish ths season as regular singer with one of the companies. In this his friends here trust he will succeed.
 Miss WaIIcot also completely cap tiyated her audiences at the two pro. rams yesterday by exceptional abiIit, as reader and contralto singer.

Controlling Crows.

Various methods have been tried to
keep crows away from poultry, most
of which were Intellectual. One farmer
tried five different methods. The first
was scarecrOw, but this had little
or no effect. In the second place corn
soaked In strychnine solution was scat
tered on a field Of planted corn but no
dead ones were found. No corn was
pulled and there was no appreciable
decrease In the number Of chickens
taken. Third, steel trap was set
on pole near the chicken yard, with
out success. Fourth, white Irvine was
run on the stakes around and across
the chicken yard this kept the crows
from the yard, but the young chicks
would get out and would then fall a
prey to the crows. Finally a crow
was shot and hung on a pole near the
chicken yard, after which there was
no further trouble.
