Last spring a woman who has
a national for charm, intelligence
and force of character came to
Rockingham and organized "The
Woman's Club" An excellent
step in the right direction. We
need a club both metaphorically
and literally speaking. 1t was
intended to be composed of wom-
en- from every walk in life: from
her whose fingers must earn her
daily bread but whose mind has
visions of something higher than
daily toll, up to the serious school
teacher who wants to laugh now
and then with those who can
laugh with her. The Club has
three active departments, Liter
ature, Music, Civics, (Which en-
braces Home Economics) This

year has been one of confusion
and effort to get organized and
to stay so, to find out what other
Clubs are doing, how they are
doing it and what they get out of
it and what good they are really
accomplishing in the towns of
North Carolina and elsewhere.
Those who look upon the mod
ernd feminist movement" with
skeptical eyes say there never
will be anything to it" because
women never pull together, they
know nothing of team work.;
instead of being loyal to a leader,
or an idea, they are busy criti-
cising and suggesting some other
plan only to discard that and run
after a new one. Well, maybe
so, maybe so. But isn't this the
first time in the history of the
world that women have been
free to prove themselves the life
force that they are? An old
proverb says ''if women and
horses knew their strength the
world would be a different
place."
However | wander from my
subject, which is to urge a larger
support for the Woman's Club of
Rockingham. Nothing can be
done without cooperation; our
lovely courthouse would not be
t ere unies1 every little brick
stood il ;t3 place, the very gar
ments we wear would not "stay
put" unless every little stitch
held true. I asked a friend to
attend the club with me one af-
ternoon and she said what can
| get out of it, anything to do me
good?" Why, my dear, life is
like one of those old family
trunks that you put in the attic
and drop things into, to get them
out OF the way. Some day you
open the lid and out of the depths
draw treasures, one by one, ar
old dress of marvellous cut, bui
fine material that will make g
new one, a piece of lace, a silver
knee-buckle that adorned your
grand-father's knicker bockers
a bundle of linen that you can
not buy today at any price, some
old letters awakening long since
dead, a tiny shoe that brings you
to your knees in a food of tears

And He Left Town.

The other day a Scotchman went
into a hotel, under his arm he car
ried a bundle. He approached the
office clerk and said "If you will
pass the word along to the laddies
that there is Scotchman doom here
who has some good Scotch to sell, /
will be much obliged"
The word of the mysterious visit
or trickled through the building and
even out on the street, and soon
reached its most remote corners.
News Of that sort seems to spread
fast. In the meantime the Scotch
man has been escorted to a secluded
spot in the hotel. Men began to
come downstairs, from out doors
and everywhere, and they came very
hurriedly. When he had gathered a
large audience the Scotchman,
cleared his throat and said, "Now
lads, have here some vera fine
verra fine Scotch l have just brought
over, vera fine Scotch tweeds and
Scotch plaids, verra--" 1t is not
known what happened to the Scotch
man, but he was not seen in town
after that.

BOX Fighters ARE
TRAINING FOR BIG
BOUT THIS MONTH

The tentative date for the match
for the middleweight boxing cham
pionship of Elmore county (and pos
sibly it takes in a larger territory
between Oscar Hitler, present title
holder and Curly Kelso, aspirant
for the laurel of victory, has been
fixed for Friday, May 20.
Kelso is being trained by Red
Van Slyke, a lightweight battler
from Caldwell, and in addition to
regular road work they spend sew
eral hours every day in gymnasium
work in the gym above the Elmore
pastime. Saturday night Kelso and
Van Slike will box six rounds for
the benefit of the fans and per-
haps some of the other boxers who
are working with Kelso will go on
for short exhibition bouts.
Hitler is training at the fire
house, and is boxing eight or ten
rounds each night with Hill Often
heimer, Charley Rasmussen and
other local exponents of the manly
art, besides doing his regular ten
miles on the road every morning.
Killers arm, which was hurt in the
fight at Grand View has refused to
heal properly and early this week a
skin grating operation was per-
formed by local physician in which
piece of skin about the size of a
quarter was used to cover the sore.
One of Killers trainers donated the
cuticle.
Seats will be put on sale for the
fight some time within the next few
days, and it is anticipated that the
advance sale will be large. The
articles signed by the fighters and
their hackers provide for the money
to be cut on a winner take all
basis.

LIBRARY PATRONS
PREFER WESTERN
FICTION WRITER'S
Readers at Local Library
Read History, Biography,
and Novels of Bowman
and Bower.

Mrs. Hattie Query, librarian at
the local library says that the rdsi-
ness men and boys Of Mountain
Home are more deeply interested in
stories Of adventure, and the north
ern and western stories and Of
mining. A large number of tech
nical books are also used by local
men.
Western stories Of adventure,
love and romance are the biggest
demand by the young girls and mar
ried women.
The most popular book is the
mysterious Rider" a story OF mys-
terry and romance, by Zane Grey,
and Mrs. Query says that there are
always names on the waiting list
for it. The books by Peter B..
Kyne, and especially Long Chance"
are very popular, and also are the
western SlDIlSS vi 1ONC anu "
nance by B. NJ Bowen. The
"Ramblin Kid" by the Idaho au-
thor Earl Wayland Bowman has
been so in demand that it is all
worn out. The librarian also states
that the story of western ranch
life. "The Short Cut" by Jackson
Gregory, is out all of the time.
The people Of Mountain Home
are reading more the past year than
ever before in the history Of the
library. In the last report Mrs
Query stated that more people re-
eeiving books and reading the popu-
lar magazines that comes to the Ii
brary, had visited the reading room
during that period than for some
time.

lodge MEMBERS
IN unique DRIVE
FOR MEMBERS home

Last Thursday evening the Rebe-
kahs held a very interesting exper-
fence dollar meeting. Each member
brought a dollar to contribute to
the Odd Fellows Home fund and
told how they earned it. OF all the
experiences of digging bitches,
denying the picture show and wash
ing foG a ollar week, the two
most interesting ones were told by
Mrs. S. E. Reed and Maroni Johnson
Mrs. Reed had varied lot of ex-
periences of selling cakes and dough
nuts and a chicken pie to bachel-
or friend who paid double what she
asked, and ordered another. On de-
livering the cake, her friend remark
ed that it was a lovely cake for fifty
cents, so she charged her seventy
five cents. Her cakes and cookies
found such a ready sale that soon
she had $4.65, and as she was mix
ing the batter for the last of the
doughunts, a man came into the
kitchen and some of the batter got
on his clothes and she charged him
thirty7five cents to clean 1t off.
Her experiences were very interest
ing. and from the fact that she earn
ell five times the amount pledged,
places her at the head, and brings
out the theory that the young folks
of this day and age will live to
learn.
Mr.. Johnson related that one
afternoon while delivering some
butter for his wife, he remembered
that the time was nearing to earn
the dollar for the fund, and the
thought came to his mind of how
a friend. who tended bar in the
old days and his scheme to knock
| down. After work ne tossed the
days cash up and all that stuck tC
the ceiling belonged to the boss ant
all Tat came down belonged to him
so Mr.. Johnson adopted that plar
and after collecting for the butter
tossed it up and henceforth present

COLD WET WEEK
RETARDS GROWTH
OF IDAHO CROPS

Cold and windy weather for the
week ending Tuesday, May 3, re-
tarded farm work to some extent,
announces the weekly weather sum-
mary.
The weather was unreasonably
cold during the greater part OF the
week in all sections of the state, but
there was sudden and pronounced
change to warmer on Sunday, this
warm spell was of but days dura-
tion. The week was unusually
windy. There was much cloudiness
and occasional rains, most light and
covering relatively small areas, oc-
curred. Heavy frosts occurred on
several nights.
While the weather was not par
ticularly favorable for farm work
fair progress was made in loeali-
ties, but in a few sections the soil
was still wet enough to prevent ac-
tive field work. Work was confined
largely to blowing and fitting Of the
soil, but in some localities wheat
sowing was in progress, beet plant
ing is under way, potato planting
has been begun, and little corn
has been planted.
1t was poor growing weather.
Possibly the cereals are faring best
during this prolonged period of cool
weather, but most growing crops
need more warmth. Meadows and
pastures, while generally reported
in good condition, are making but
lite growth being retarded by
frosty nights and cold drying winds
Fruit suffered further frost damage
in many localities and in some sec
tions spring sown barley and also
alfalfa were damaged by freezing
The freeze killed sweet cherries
apricots and early sown barley, and
| damaged apples; Winesaps hurt
most Prunes and plums seem tt
have escaped in most orchards.

Girl Scouts.

Monday, May q, the Girl Scouts

short business meeting, electing
Winnie Barrett patrol leader for the
month of May. The girls came III
their hiking costumes, one as
gypsy queen, Mexican cowboy,
farmerette, two In army clothes, and
three as young society bellies. I'm
mediately after the business meeting
the girls marched out to a grove
near the city park, built fire and
with long wires toasted marsh
mallows a golden brown, and as
was evidenced from smeared faces
sticky hands and clothes they had
all they could eat.
Two of the Boy Scouts came ort
and tried roping, hncka-co stunts
and frightening the girls as the
sat around the dying fire, telling
weird ghost stories Some purely
manufactured and some real auth
entic ghost stories. Before LEAVING
the girls formed in a circle and Pc
formed an Indian dance and war
hoop around the camp fire. The
Scouts who answered to roll call
were. Winnie Barrett. Helen

FRANCE OBSERVES
DEATH CENTENARY
OF GREAT SOLDIER

France Wednesday began a two
clay observance of the centenary OF
the death of Napoleon. At bay
o'clock Thursday afternoon salyo
of artillery at the Invalides WILL
mark the passing of century since
the death of the great warrior at
st. Helena, and close the exercises.
A memorial service was held early
Wednesday in Notre Dame cathe-
dral Cardinal Dubois, archbishop
of Paris, presided.
The chief feature of Thursday s
exercises will be military review
at the Arc de Triomphe.
The concluding ceremony will be
the granting of solemn absolution by
Cardinal Dubois in the chapel OF the
Invalides, adjoining the tomb OF
Napolen. On this occasion Marshal
: Foeh, commander of the mightiest

The Power of Silence.

There is nothing in this world
which works to creates advantages
than to be silent. No one likes to
be ignored. 1t hurts like the mis-
chief to have an antagonist throw
up a barricade against which you
have no power. The moment the
other fellow is silent that minute all
detailed plans of attack are worth
less. The only thing one can do is
to be silent also, and there you are!
Though but an armistice, the action
of conflict is over.
The one who refuses to converse
may be the one you have no use for.
Still it bothers you You are an
noyed, your pride is injured at the
realization that the one you hold in
seorn has the opportunity to ignore
you. The moment you resort to
tantalizing banter you acknowledge
defeat. If you fall in line and imi-
tate, you compliment. The secret is
to steal the thunder first.
If one you love keeps silent it
hurts twice. Once because you
have no idea how deeply you may
/ have offended to bring down upon
your head such punishment and
again because the loved one could
ignore you.
Just think over the conquering
points of this silent weapon. The

No PANIC AHEAD
BANKER STATES

w. P. G. Harding, governor OF the
federal reserve board at Washington,
told the 1000 delegates attending
the opening session OF the eighth ma
tional foreign trade council conyen-
ton Wednesday that there is no dan
ger of any general financial trouble
in this country,
"We are entering now, think,
upon the final stage of the great
postwar readjustment period" he
said. II think the most serious OF
our problems are behind us from a
banking standpoint. The question
of how to thaw frozen credits re-
mains.
Frozen credits can best be
thawed out by a movement, slim
ulation of business which viii do
the thawing ont automatically
II want to give you this message:
There is now no dv1ger of any gen
eral financial trouble in this coun-
try. There is closer relationship
between the federal reserve bank
and the member banks and between
bankers, businessmen and manufac-
turers. than ever existed in the
past. The time has come for re-
newed courage and confidence. There
is no advantage In forcing liquida'
ton further. Many men have liqui'
dated down to the bone. They should
be encouraged to build themselves
up. We are reaching every day q
safer basis upon which to do busi'
ness. The problems before us are
all solvable.
"When we consider the grea'
crisis which America has passef
through in recent years we canno
doubt the problems which confront
us today will be safely met and We
will enter upon a period OF safe
