SHOWS THE RIGHT SPIRIT

Henry Heckes and sons of Fruit
land, have the proper public spirit
the kind that will build up any com
munity. Last week, when the condi-
tiOns were just right for dragging
the roads, there seemed to be no
one on the job, so they proceeded to
take matters in hand, and gratuitous
ly dragged the Highway from Fruit
land to the Ontario bridge, and did
a good job. It is not actually requir-
ed of any one to donate any work
of this kind, but it is time mighty
well spent. There is nothing that will
advertise community like good
roads. And SO often the proper party
neglects the dragging just when it
should be done. If each farmer
would spend a few hours along his
farm once or twice during the spr-
ing, it would greatly improve the
of the roads.

University Glee Club
To GIVE CONCERT IN HIGH
SCHOOL AUDITORIUM

The University of Idaho Mems
Glee Club, now touring this section
of the State, is bigger and better
than ever. Those who were foTtu-
nate enough to attend the Concert
given last year remember it as being
one of the most attractive entertain
ments of the season. The reputation
the Club has made in the past will
not be diminished by the performance
of this year if the reception accorded
them in the cities where they have
appeared this year may be cited.
Flattering press comment, crowded
houses and enthusiastic audiences
are being given the club on their
present tour.
The program ranges from the
classics to the latest musical novelty.
An added and attractive feature is
the orchestra which this year is car
ried with the Club.
Tickets will be on sale Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday by members of
the High School. Seats may be re-
served Thursday at the Payette Phar-
macy.

The community movies at the "f
next Friday will consist of six reels,
including two reels of o. Henry stor-

ing and Lighting; one reel on Yose-

Review. The management wishes to
express their regret at their inability
to give the program last Friday as
advertised, and to state that the
omission was caused entirely through
the failure of the films to arrive in
time. The program will start prompt
ly at 7:15, and we especially urge a
large attendance at this time.
The business women's athletic
class will meet again at the gym, on
Monday evening, at $3.50, and on
Thursday at 500.
The High School girls will meet
at the same place, on Wednesday eve
ming, at 7:15, and on Saturday after
noon, at 4:15. In spite of the many
other entertainments that have been
pulled off during the past few weeks,
the attendance has been unusually
good, and we hope for continued
good average of attendance.

from complete loss OF property, to
death by starvation.
If they were loaded in cars five

crank away till the year 1857. If.
they chose to line up the cars side
by side, allowing ten feet to a car,
there is no stretch Of land on earth
long enough to allow the formation.
If they formed on the equator, the
spread would be clear around the
earth and half way across Siberia

of that distance, and one in every
five will die before their harvest un
