THE JOY SHOW

"a factitious feast of frolic and
frivolity'' is the way the managers of
the Famous Georgia Minstrels an
nounce their coming to the Emma
Theatre, Saturday, June 5th.
The company numbers over forty
people and these sons of Joy will be
seen in an elaborate production of up
to-date minstrelsy and vaudeville.
The stage settings and wardrobe be-
ing compared to a spectacular produc
ton. The music both instrumental
and vocal being a prominent feature
with the company, and the years
this attraction has been before the
public has given the MANAGEMENT
ample opportunity to study the pub
lie taste.

.RIvERsIDE' HOSPITALITY

On Sunday afternoon Riverside
was the scene of another festivity
when Mr.. and Mrs. David Jones and
Mr.. and Mrs Bert Moggridge enter
tanned at an afternoon party. The
occasion was a double one, and cele>
brated the fourth birthday of little
Mary Jane Moggridge and the first
anniversary of her fathers return
from service in France.
The children of whom there were
some forty present, played games on
the lawn, while their elders amused
themselves in a more sedate fashion.
Any one who has been to a north
of town party will know how en-
joyable was the afternoon and how
delicious the refreshments. Tea and
sandwiches and ice cream and cake
were served by the hostesses, assist
ed by Mrs. Tom Moggridge, Mrs. ].
P. Hallet and the Misses Nancy and
Joan Harris, and Lena Durham.
The big birthday cake with its
pink and white surface ornamented
by four pink candles, was the center
of attraction for the children's table
A pretty touch was added to the
lunch when Tiny Mary Jane passed
among the guests offering to each a
piece of her cake.
On a table in the potrch were
spread the many beautiful gifts re-
ceived by the little girl. Besides
the children about fifty "grown-ups"
enjoyed the famous Riverside hos.

OPERATING UNDER
NEW SYSTEM
MOUNTAIN STATES TEL. & TEL
co. IN NEW OFFICE

The Mountain States Telephone &
Telegraph Company are now operat-
ing under the new system which is
practically completed. The change
was made last Sunday morning at
o'clock. The Editor was taken thru
the entire system by Mr.. Dolling, the
present manager, and Mr.. r. G. Pap
endick, the telephone expert who is
installing the equipment. The opera
ton of this intricate mass of wiring.
switches, batteries and other cortriv-
ances were mostly Hog Latin to a
common newspaper Editor, but we
could understand enough to know it
is absolutely modern and up-to-date.
Mr.. Papendick informs us it is the
best equipped telephone office in the
state. All of the instruments are
brand new. We can truthfully say
the telephone system at Payette is
now many years ahead of the city.
The new Switch Board is a wonder.
There are many new devices to e.im>
mate bad service and also makes it
much easier for the operator. But
don't ever get it into your head the
operator at the board can take any
maps between calls. There are now
eight operators employed, all well
qualified to give the patrons the best
of service, but the service does not
always depend upon the operator.
The patrons must give numbers plain
ly and have a certain amount of pa
tience.
The people of Payette and the tele- |
phone patrons will no longer have
room to complain about the tele- !
phone system on the Payette Ex-
change. ~

Mrs. Myrtle Wingale and children
of Boise came over Tuesday for a
visit with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs,
John Elan Of Little Willow Creek.

Sunday afternoon by Mrs. Ewing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Guss went over Sunday
They report the lecture as well worth
the trip.
The Portia Club concert Monday
evening was exceptionally fine from
start to finish and was appreciated
by large audience. Payette can well

took part in the program Monday
night. 1t was strictly high class in
every way.

BUILDING MODERN
EVAPORAT|NGPLANT

Denney & Co. have now under con-
struction at this place a modern eva
porating plant which will have a
capacity of 1000 bushels per day.
They will also build one of the same
type and capacity at Emmett and
New Plymouth. These drying plants
are vastly different from what has
heretofore been in use at New Ply.
mouth and Payette which were both
destroyed last fall by fire. The kilns
are to be built of cement and all
cross beams or parts coming in cons
tact or near the heat are of iron thus
eliminating any danger of fire. This
method is also more economical in
fuel consumption and more rapid in
truning out the finished product.
These plants are to be equipped with
conveyors in moving the fruit which
will greatly reduce the amount of
labor. The Company 'will also erect
an Air Storage plant and packing
house at Emmett The Storage Plant
will have capacity of $50 cars. In
addition to operating the three
.arge evaporating plants, they will
also operate the Idaho Products plant
and will double its capacity, having |
,ccently purchased this property. 81
Denney & Co. are not only heavily |
in the handling of fruit |
nd bi-products, but are becoming |
heavy owners of fruit lands as we'll |
They recently purchased about 600 |
acres of bearing fruit lands near EN-
nett, besides about l 100 acres bear
ing fruit at Apple Valley between
Parma and Nyssa, which was pur.
chased by them last fall.

WHAT NEXT?

Motor power is fast coming into
use. The latest production is the baby
tractor for gardens and small farms,
on display at the Van Motor Company
Its a real tractor of small type that
will do the work of one horse. 1t is
not much larger than a good sized
wash tub but has power to burn. Any
one that has five or ten acre tract
could easily do the work with this lit
tie machine. 1t would be just the
thing for a small orchard. Mr.. Frank
Cram has one in use on his Payette
Heights tract of five acres and it is
a revelation to see it do the work.

round trip will be only $500, plus
war tax. Coffee, sandwiches or full
meals will be served at Starkey. The
train will stop at all places along the

a days outing.

ON A VACATION

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Mohler of
Redman, Oregon, arrived in Payette
Saturday evening and on Monday
morning left by auto in company
with Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Gorham for
Kansas, Oklahoma and perhaps sew
eral other places before returning.
They expect to be gone at least two
months: Mr.. Mohler has sold out his
mercantile business at Redman and
will likely locate at Payette on his
return from the east. A bad penny
always returns.

THE >Ship-by-puck train composed
of -. rseen trucks of various sizes
and iiGkes, arrived in Payette Sun
day afternoon just in time to take
in the Ball game. They remained
here over night and left for Wei
ser at seven Monday morning. These
trucks were all loaded to their ca
pacity with different kinds of cargo.
There is no question but what truck
transportation will be taken up more
and more all the time. 1t will re-
lieye the congested condition of the
railroads which has many times de-
layed the arrival of goods, and for
short hauls from Boise and other
nearby distributing points will be
much quicker service. The truck is
not only going to take the place of
shipments by rail, but will soon be
an indispensable implement on the
farm.

are A. E. Larson who has been con-
nected with the sales department of
the Payette Modern Garage; Mr.. Milo
w. Stewart formerly with the Peder-
son Auto Co.; and Roy. Vanderford
of the Don't Worry Store. These
young men have had considerable
experience in business affairs and
will no doubt make a success of the
new adventure They will handle
Hardware, Furniture, Groceries and
Chevrolet Automobiles and auto ac-
cessories and second hand goods.
Mr.. Stewart is an automobile in
structor and will have charge of
that part of the business. Mr.. Van

THANKS To THE SHORT LINE

The Oregon Short Line have about
completed planking the crossing in
the city which adds much to the
comfort and satisfaction of the auto
drivers in crossing the track. This
may seem to some like a very small
matter but it involves an expense
amounting to about $500. The ma
teriaI used is heavy and expensive.
The Rail Road Company never does
things by halves. Their property is
always kept up in the very best cons
dition which we know the people
appreciate. We thank them very
kindly for this added improvement.

i PIONEER OF THE
PAYETTE VALLEY

William Ireton of battle-ground,
Washington, arrived in Payette
Sunday evening for a visit with old
time friends. 1t seems quite natural
to see Mr.. Ireton again on the streets
of Payette. He was one of the first
early settlers in this valley coming
here As years ago before the town
of Payette was started, and contfnu-
ed to live her for 35 years. He was
one of the main factors in building
up the town and surrounding coun-
try. He now owns a fine farm near
battle-ground where he is living with
his son Walter. Mr.. Ireton is look
ing well and appears no older than
when he left here ten years ago.

OF truth of these poetic words.
we are again reminded in the death
of David H Williams who fell under
the stroke of the sickle as bearded
grain, ripe for the shock. He lived
long and useful life.
He was born in Monongehela Co.
Virginia, February "a, 1916 and left
is to enter that abundant life spoken
of by Christ in the Gospel of John,
May 90, 1920, aged "A years, 2 mo-,
and &c days
He was most happily married at
Jackson, Ohio, June 25th, 1870 to
Amelia A. Slower. Had Mr.. Williams
lived, this worthy couple would have
celebrated their Golden Wedding in
June. The union was blessed with
tour children still living: Mrs. Adina
Bowman of Cove, Arkansas; w. R,
Williams; Mary E. McClur, and Sadie
NJ. Krost all of Payette. Besides the
children and wife there are one
brother, two sisters and twelve grand
children besides a host of friends
who live after him. For these the
hour is dark but they sorrow not as
those who have no hope.
His Church work dated from early
life He was converted at the age of
II and fellowshiped with the Metho-
dist Church. Upon moving from Neb-
raska to Idaho he chose the Church
of God at Payette and his life has
been a blessing to the Church and a
glory to God. AS a believer he has
awakened with the Savior's likeness.
He confessed Christ before men and
Jesus will confess him before the
Father. Brother Williams was blind
for a number of years in this life
