OCTOBER Is, 1921.

Shirley does have the
grdndesf ideas! She
has written a splen-
did class song right in
study hour. She and
her best friend are
going out to serenade
Miss Ball, the algebra
teacher, and Flor
encc. the basketball
captain. Maybe you'd
like to glance at Shir-
ley's lay: "Here's to
our class, here's to
dear Miss Ball. Here's
to Florence, captain
Of us ALL"

as we'll as | know my

to sing it when I was
in school. I'm called
little Carmen, dear
little Carmen, tho I
can never tell why
that's something the

RETURNS FROM
SOUTHERN TRIP

Mr.. E. A. Blair returned lasc Mon
day evening after spending a short
vacation in the sunny land of South
ern California. Mr.. 6Iair's investi-
CATION of that beautiful state did not
prove entirely satisfactory from every
standpoint. He admits it to be the
most beautiful of any country he
has ever seen, but as a place to
make a permanent home, the ex-
treme congested condition would be
to him a serious drawback. Besides
it is not a place in his opinion, for
a man of moderate means to make
money. That country is largely made
up of wealthy retired men who are
there more on account of the climati-
cal condition. Mr.. Blair's throat and
asthmatic trouble is much improved
by the trip, and he feels it was money
we'll spent.

COL. G. f. THAYER RETURNS

Col. G. F. Thayer who has been in
Southern California during the last
two months, returned to Payette
last Monday. The Colonel didn't
see quite all of the State of Califor-
mia, but from an interview with him
we venture to say he can tell more
about the state than many who have
lived there for years. During his
visit he met many of his old acquaint
ances from various states in the
Union. While alta Long Beach he
had the pleasure of delivering one
of his humorous addresses to an
audience of three thousand people,
and on several occasions was invited
to speak. He returned by way of
Salt Lake, and stopped for a few
days with his son at Pocatello.

PAYEITE WOKE
UP AT LAST

We are very glad to see that our
business men have banded together
and organized a real Chamber of
Commerce and from the manner in
which it has started out it is going
to be a winner The large room in
the basement of the Bancroft Hotel
has been rented and will be equipped
as a Club and dining room, where our
business men will meet. It has been
decided that four meetings will be
held each month, the first three will
problems will be discussed. The four
tn meeting will be held in the eve
ming SO that the wives of the men,
bers can also attend. This meeting
will be more of a social than a busi-
ness affair. The Club rooms will be
available for the use of the ladies for
their different meetings any time
they desire. The luncheons will be
served by the Bancroft Grill manage
ment. 1t has been proven by the
last three meetings that a good at
tendance can be had when the meet
ings and luncheons are held at one
and the same time.
1t will be the policy of this Cham
Der of Commerce to take care of and
foster the industries now located
here, and take care of Payette inter
ests in general rather than to use our
energies and resources in getting new
industries to locate here. 1t is not
meant by this that new industries

PRETTY SENIOR VALENTINE

A beautiful Valentine party was
given by Miss Zella Schmidt on West

the Senior Glass of the High School.
Twenty-eight guests were present.
The house was artistically decorated
with dozens of beautiful Valentines,
Many clever Valentine games were
played during the evening. Music and
singing also added much to the en-
ioyment. At late hour a dainty
three course heart-shaped luncheon
was served, after which all assured
an unusually pleasant evening.

PAYETTE LEGION BASKET-BA Ill
TEAM WINS FROM WEISEE

The Payette Legion boys went to
Weiser last night and took Weiser LIE
gion down to defeat with a score of
35 to Is. This is Payette's third at
tempt and they made the best of
their opportunity. At no stage of the

of losing the game Weiser plays a
return game here at the "Y" next
Thursday at $50. Then manager
wishes to apologize for the long wait
last Thursday evening and promises
that such a delay will not occur
again. Caldwell was scheduled to
play here Thursday evening but call
ed up in the afternoon and cancelled
the game Vale being the only team
that could come, we were forced to
use them as substitutes for Caldwell.
The score with Vale was 63 to 16 in
favor of the local boys.

SUNNY SOUTHLAND
NEEDING BELLS

The Editor and wife are in receipt
of the announcement by Mrs. Walter
Lawrence Holt, of the marriage of
her daughter, Mary de Rosset, to Mr..
Robert Owen Burns on Wednesday
the second of February, at Fayette-
vile, North Carolina.
Mr.. Burns is a son of Major and
Mrs. ]. b Burns of Boise and will be
remembered by some of our readers
as having been a teacher in the Van
Wyck school several years ago.-Cas
cade News.
In reading the above wedding an
nouncement, we are reminded of 21
years ago this spring at the Village
of New Plymouth, when the groom
was a small boy of about six years.
Just to demonstrate his ability as a
butcher, he chopped off the heads of
two big, fat hens belonging to the
Editor of this paper, who was also
living at the same place. And how
the punishment was inflicted by his
mother who compelled the young lad
to get out on his own hook and earn
dollar to pay for the hens. But
Bobby was honest; he confessed to
his guilt; said he just wanted to see
if he could do it. He earned the
money and paid his fine. He grew to
be a man in this community and pro-
fitted by his early experience, and
turned his ability and desires to see
what he could do, to the better
things, and today is counted among
the brightest and most respected
men. The Editor extends his con-
gratulations with the suggestion that
should Robert Burns, Jr. behead
any hens, make him pay the fine.

will be opposed, but it is considered
best to take care of whae we have
and get them fully developed. 1t does
not seem to be generally known that
we already have nineteen separate
industries located in our City. We
are better off in this respect than
any other town of similar size in
Idaho We were extremely lucky in
getting a fine president and board of
directors to start our organization,
and we are satisfied that with our
present lineup, Failure" will be
impossible. Now lets all get together
and attend the meetings and get ac-
quainted with each other and pull
together, and make Payette such a
large spot on the map that every
one will want to come and look US
over. There is absolutely no reason
why Payette should not be one of
the premier towns of Southern Idaho.
We have the resources if properly de-
veloped. Our roads, while rather soft
at present, are in the making of the
best in the country. Our climate can
not be beat. Our location could not
be better, and when it comes to our
business men they are second to none
and, all we need to make Payette one
of the best if not The Best, town in
Idaho, is cooperation. Now let's all
trade our hammer for bellows and
boost instead of remaining passive,
and Make Payette A Regular Stop
in Idaho.

lonial period; others were dressed
more modernly as soldiers, sailors
and cowboys.

hour, when dainty refreshments
were served, after which the pu2ils
adjourned to their homes.

DRAG THE ROADS

Some Of these days the weather
condition is going to change; and
when it does, a few days of sunshine
and the roads will be dry. And un-
less a thorough system of dragging,
and at the right time, is done by
some one, the roads will be almost
as impossible as they are now.
While it is not the farmers duty to
keep up the roads along his farm, it
would be mighty good idea if every
farmer would put in few hours at
the right time. ANY kind of a drag
will help the conditions. Two or
three times over with a common farm
harrow will fill the ruts.

HOME TALENT
MAKES GOOD

Lone Star, a play put on by the
Expression Glass of the Payette
High School last Monday evening
was another demonstration of the
splendid talent of our home young
people Despite the disagreeable
weather the High School Auditorium
was packed, and all who were there
we're loud in their praise for the
manner in which each part was play
ed. 1t is seldom that an exhibition
Of this character is given where all
participants carry out their particu-
lar part in a perfect manner, but
the play on Monday evening was SO
we'll executed by each one who par
ticipated in the play that we can
but comment on the entire entertain
ment. It was not only those who took
part in the play who gave to the
pleasure of the audience. The Senior
Orchestra did their full part and de
serve much credit for their excellent |
music.
One noticeable feature Of the play |
was the short space of time required |
in making the change of scenery be-
tween acts. Our young people sim
ply did fine and we are proud of
them. While passing a word of COM
ment we should not forget the teach
er of the Expression Glass, Miss
who has taken a great inter
est in her pupils, and has proven her
ability as an instructor.
Lone Star" is the first of a SER
les of three plays to be put on by
the Expression Glass. The second one
"a Rose of Plymouth Town, will be
presented early in March And later,
as Spring play-"The Florist Shop
The Expression Glass desire to
thank the public for their hearty CO.
and extend cordial invita-
tion to the other Plays.
