this spring of the Whitman College
Mems Glee Club. Harper Joy of the
| class of 1921 was in the city recently
and arrangements were made by him
to have the Club appear here under
the auspices of The Emma Theatre,
on March 26th.
Not in many years has Whitman
College been represented by as. ex>
cellent Mems Glee Club as Is pre-.
sented this season, in fact critics
have been so generous as to claim
that it is one Of the premier singing
organizations of the west.
The College has been particularly
fortunate in attracting to its student
body this year many students who
are talented unsteady and from this
number have been selected twenty
young men who comprise the per-
sonnet of the Glee Club.
The program which has been pre-
pared is not only noteworthy for its
excellence but for it's variety
and "snappy" character. There will
be some dramatic and comedy skits
that would do credit to a professional |
company and the Campus Jazz Or, |
chestra which will accompany the |
Club will offer some spirited har. |
mony that will be on a par with the /
of the program.
The Club will be under the direc.
ion of Howard E. Pratt, head of
Whitman Conservatory of Music. Mr..
Pratt who has been recently engaged
o direct the activities of the Conserv
tory, is a valuable acquisition to
he musical life of the Northwest, be-
ng widely recognized for his must
ianship and large ability as a con.
uctor.

A LEAP YEAR ADVENTURE

I Women is queer" says one of
( our bachelors. Gust the other day
after l had been reading that this
was Leap Year, little woman drove
up to my place and come to the door
| let her in and see at once that she
was neat and trim and good looking
and says to myself that she is after
me, and felt almost gone as l said
It,
well she started out by asking
my name and my age and all about
myself and my family history.
That was all right, and liked her
judgement. l noticed that she put
the answers in book and Father adj
mired her business way of getting at
the facts. She was right to the point
about everything, which made me
think all the more of her. -
When she asked me if l was mar
ried 1 said no but that I hoped to be
thought that would clinch the mat
ter but it didn't. Next she asked |
about my farm. I told her what a /
fine place had, called her attention
to the fine house mad all the stock
and made everything look as fine as
I could.
When she got through asking me
questions she picked up her book,
said something about senses" turn
ed her back on me and walked out
Now, I'd like to know what was
the matter. Did she mean that I
had lost my senses or that she had,
or what did she mean?

HELP MAKE THE HOME PAPER.

Editors are frequently taken to
task for not publishing all the news
and happenings in his community
This is just what the Editor would
like to do, and it is just what makes
the home paper what it should be-
penings in our own community But
the readers seem to forget the fact
that an Editor is just an ordinary
man and not gifted with the ability
to read the minds of other people
and know all they know. Neither
can he see through brick wall and
know what is going on inside. Our
desk is flooded every day with arti,
cles from the outside world who are
seeking publicity through the col.
umns of the home paper. They come
from every source: Red Cross, Y. NJ
C. A., Thrift Stamp drives, Saliva
ton Army, Colleges and Institutes,
Sunday Schools and Church organiza
lions, long articles regarding income
tax, political organizations and from
a thousand other sources asking for
free space. Enough of this kind of |
material comes to us every week to
fill ten page paper. But it is home
news that makes the weekly paper
worth while. The Enterprise office
has telephone. Our number is "10".
If anything comes to your attention
that Is home news, call us up; drop
a line in the post office, or see US
1t will be gladly received.

BEFORE HE'S HURT.

The little fellow who sets up &
howl when he only thinks that some
thing is about to befall him, ISM
SO much different from some grown.
up people. For instance, those who
buy out of town simply because they
THINK that our local stores do not
have what they want-these folks
are very much like him.
1t isn't fair to accuse our local
merchants of not having up-to-date
goods if you only think it, Neither
is 1t fair to them or to yourself for
you to go elsewhere when they do
have, or can get what you want.
Make it a. habit to go to your
local dealer first. When he finds that
you are going to give him chance.
he'll make every effort always to
have the goods you like. Trade at
home. Support the town. that sup.

GARDENS ARE IMPORTANT

Gardens are going to be just as
important the coming year as in the
war period. High food costs are
likely to remain until more to eat is
grown and distributed. Farm gar
dens, Villa gardens and City back
yard gardens will help. Food pro-
duced not only helps balance the
budget, but releases that grown on
the farm for the use Of those who
are entirely dependent upon others.

ONE ON THE BosToN1AN

Owing to the war distinguished
Boston man, deprived of his summer
trip to Europe, went to the Panama
Pacific in it's stead. (The Independ-
ent tells the story.) Stopping off at
Salt Lake City he strolled about the
city and made the acquaintance of a
little Mormon girl.
"I'm from Boston," he said to her,
Il suppose you do not know where
Boston is?"
ooh, yes, l do" answered the lit
tie girl eagerly. "Our Sunday School

turns within the time specified by
law, can not expect clemency on the
part of the Government.
Collector Williams has had mail
ed to each taxpayer of last year a
form for preparing a return and
| paying the tax. Taxpayers should use
these forms and no others. All banks
in the state of Idaho have been sup
piled with forms, which may be had
on application. OF course, many per-
sons who did not pay tax last year,
will have made sufficient income to
bring them within the taxpaying elias
| this year, and should apply for forms
1t should be borne in mind that
it is not the duty of the officers to
hunt up persons subject to the tax.
but the law specifically sets out
that every citizen subject to the tax
shall voluntarily make a return and
pay the tax. After March 18th, 1920,
which is the last day for filing re-
turns, without mourning a penalty |
for delinquency, the officers then will
make a very thorough search for |
those who have not voluntarily per-
formed their duty.
For failure to make return of in
come tax penalties are provided rang
ing from fifty per cent of the tax to
be paid, up to double the tax, includ-
ing a specific fine of $1,000, and in
aggravated cases to Imprisonment.
False returns, or efforts to con-
ceal the true tax liability will bring
upon the person so offending, very
drastic punishment. Fines not to
exceed $4,000 and Imprisonment
not to exceed one year, and both may
be given by court, if the case jus,
titles it.
In order that the officers may be
able to give every taxpayer ample
time, and yet not delay others who
may be waiting their turn, taxpayers
are urged to have their figures pre-
pared before going to the officer, and
he work sheet of their form filled,
md not expect him to do their cal
This work should be done at once ,
md not wait until the last few days, !,
when it will be humanely impossible

Beautiful Chicken Springs
From Egg at Kiwanis Dinner

of the most elaborate programs ever
presented in Savannah, the amalga-

Club with the Kiwanis international
was an occasion that will long be re-

Young and beautiful ladies spring
ing from huge eggs and full-bloom
roses and entertaining the diners with
song and dance were only a few of
the attractions.
The visiting Kiwanians from At
lanta were perhaps the most sur
prised of those present at the full
ness and elaborateness of the pro-
gram.
The opening remarks by President
E. A. Cults were interrupted almost
immediately by Judge David S, At
kinson, who rose to ga point of or
der" and proceeded to kick about The
chicken that had been served him.
He claimed he had not got his two
bits worth" and either wanted his
money back or more chicken. Hotel
officials were called in and asked
why the judge had been sighted to
such an extern, aid wheA no salts
faction could be gaiI ed, walters were
ordered to serve him again. A half
dozen of them vert out and return
ed with huge egg on wagon-bed
platter, the size of the egg being such
that it caused the eyes of the diners
to open in wonder.
The egg was served the judge and
when he Cracked" It open, it prov
ed to be exceeding "ripe," for one
of the most beautiful Chickens" ever
seen danced lightly out on her toes
and proceeded to entertain the diners
with song and dance. The chicken"
was Miss Eleanor Corish. The judge
said he was satisfied with
the second serving and they could
keep his quarter.

SCIENCE BATTLING

Trying To Externinate These
Carriers of Malaria and Other
({ca1ly Germs

Scientists say that the mosquito
must go. Years ago they were look
ed upon only as nuisances, but every
one now knows that they are a vital
danger to all humanity. Yellow fever,
malaria and many other diseases can
be laid right at the mosquitoes door.
Government, state and city health de-
partments are trying hard to exter-
inmate him but that will not come
for years.
In the meantime we must protect
ourselves. See that proper screens
are placed in the home, and spray the
house daily with TORMENT. TOR
MENT is death to insects. No mos
quito or fly can live in it's gaseous va
por. TORMENT will not harm cloth
ing or furniture and has absolutely
no effect on human beings.
