Halloween Franks Delight Youths
Of american Falls Made

If you asked for a ballot as to the
most popular holiday among the kid
crowd of American Falls not all would
vote for Christmas. There are a lot
of youngsters who get more real tai
isfaction out Of their halloween doings
than out of any other period in the
calendar.
And that satisfaction is by no mean
confined to the last day of October
The observance begins when the long
evenings come in September. and 1t
may not end until cold weather ar
riyes. Dark nights conceal the ma
RAIDERS as they rattle your blinds and
pull your door bell. BY the time you
have emerged to the front door, the re-
treating sound of scampering foot
steps is the only sign OF providers.

bride, But those old notions are be-
hind the times.
The modern kid makes large use
through this season of apples and other
garden products, but not for n parlor
games. The favorite for ammunition
purposes is the tomato, and a tomato
fight is the most delicious experience
known to the kid world. To soak the
boys of the next street with an over
ripe specimen of these brilliant red
products is a greater triumph than TO
win a goal at football. But IL Is a
p%erilous business, for II you get hit
yourself with that red strain, there is
likely to be a session in the woodshed

The kinky October air fills the kid
world with the spirit of mischief,
