The White & Myers Chautauqua
Co. closed their six day series Of
entertainments Wednesday night.
The chautauqua was well patron
zed and those attending the series Of
entertainments feel that the program
was good. VI,
= OF course the two main attractions
we're the Bohumir band and the IL.
tie playlet, Friendly Enemies z The
efforts of both these combinations of
entertainers were well received and
everyone was entertained to their
hearts desire. "Friendly Enemies
sort of took everyone back to the war
period when most features, be they
lectures or picture shows had much
to do with patriotism, and there
we're many in the audience, while full
ly appreciating the manner in which
the play was presented, wondered if
the actors could not have hit on a
subject or theme, if you will, on
which the public has not been 50
thoroughly fed up on.
The band, or course, was excel
lent and some Of the catchy little
airs rendered almost made some Of
us wish that they were furnishing
music for Virginia reel or some
thing.
OF the lecturers many fine things
can be said, with one possible excep-
tion, that Of Yutaki Minakuchi, the

1921 CHAUTAUQUA MADE A HIT

Jap. AS propagandist, he is one OF
the best. Subjects of vital interest
to American people he was pleased
to skim over lightly and barely touch
ed on the Jap proposition in Caltfor-
mia where the whites are fairly uE
against the wall, fighting for theil
economic existence in some localities
He had nothing to say about the
'legalized traffic in souls which is
represented by the .picture bride
fraud as worked out by the Japs
themselves under that greatest joke
Of all jokes, athe Gentleman's Agree
ment" between Amenica and Japan.
Minakuchi did not Sc fit to say
a thing about the Constitution of the
United States that makes it impossi-
bic for the Japs to become citizens OF
America. nor did he explain why the
Japs own in California some 9OO,0OO
acres of land, nor why in California
one can find IA pagan temples.
Yes. as propogandist this little
jap. was some spreader. You've got
to give it to him.
Popular concensus of opinion seems
to be that the lectures Of DIR. RAIDER
and Hon. Leon Dabo were the best
Of the series.
Taken as whole, the 1921 Chan
tau from an entertainment stand
point was highly satisfactory.

GIVES VERSION OF DEATH OF
WOULD CORRECT IMPRESSIONS

He had signed agreement
with all the DooIeys (excep,
Fet) that he should receive q
a certain percentage in that matter
of all that he could collect. AS fan
as ! can ascertain he never went to
DR.. Wilson or anybody that knew to
ask about conditions under which the
boys died. When he arrived he went
directly to Carl Hahn at the Bank G
Trust company to investigate Their
financial condition and upon being as
sured by Mr.. Hahn that they would
get square deal, came out to the
farm and looked over the stock and
machinery. He was very gentleman
ly and agreeable in his manner and
gave no room for i'll thought or feel
ing. After a few days he returned
to Missouri, and l went ahead and
settled up the estate in way that
was areeable to all so far as I could
learn.
In concluding my statement of the
Dooleys want to say that there was
no reason or excuse whatever in my
opinion for going back to my home
after six years elapsed and taking up
those decayed bodies, causing my
family great mental worry and ire
parable damage. In my opinion il
was done in the first place for sell
fish ends and in the second place to
bolster up the case in the charge pre-
ferred.
"After a year or SO my daughter
was married to MIR. Gordon McHaf-
fie. They moved to Montana, neal
Harding, where Mr.. McHaffie had
a sister residing, leased Indian land
ladjoining them where they raised q
crop. 1t was in the fall of 1918 dur.
ing the great flu epidemic, while
hauling off wheat with four-horse
team, ten miles from Harding, he
became exposed to a sudden change
of weather and lived about sever
days. / went after his body ant
brought it back to Twin Falls fol
burial. During my trip many deaths
were reported, especially in Butte
80 being reported the day / passed
Through there. and lots of people
were wearing gauze in their mouths
There were several bodies lying il
the morgue at Harding where my
son-in-Iaw lay. In returning tc
Harding to settle up her affairs my
daughter fell in with a Mr.. Lewis al
Billings, where she had to change
cars for Harding. They were mar
kried in a very short time. Mr.. Lewis
was car demonstrator and away
from home most of the time. 1t was
while away from home that he took
sick and was barely able to get back
before he died."-Twin Falls Daily

'sBlack Rust Takes The Count
Often according to Experts

and cooperation Of every farmer in
the state.
Black Stem rust survives the win
ter on old stubbles, grain, and grass
es. In spring spores are terminated
which are unable to attack directly
growing grains and grasses but must
pass to the Burberry bush. Here the
spring stage Of Black Stem rust dew
elopes and passes to the growing
grass thru the agency Of the wind.
Within a week or ten. days the red
rust stage Of Black Stem rust is form
ed and is quickly followed by the
Black stage or the stage which does
the damage. In fall, the spores are
formed which winter on old stubbles,
and grasses and in spring pass thru
the same cycle. Without the common
Burberry bush this cycle cannot be
completed. Let's get behind the fed
eral government in it's effort to era
dictate the Burberry bush and make
