HOME TALENT GOOD.

The Operetta given by the Junior
High School Students of the Payette
school last Friday evening was not
largely attended, but by those who
did attend report it one of the best
entertainments ever given by home
talent people. This play and musical
under the personal direction of Pearl
B. Allen was a thorough demonstra-
tion of oharactoS and ability, both on
the part OF the students and director,
and should have been witnessed by a
larger house. If the people of Pay
cite wish to encourage home talent
they should do so by their presence
when an entertainment OF this kind
is given.

the Facts Squarely.
IT PAYS TO HAVE GOOD HEALTH
Most Illnesses Are Prevented by a
Good Supply of Rich, Red Blood
Take Pepto-Mangan, the
Red Blood Builder

Either you are in good health or
you are not There's no half way.
You may think nothing of being a
little run down. 1t may not worry
you if you look pale. You may think
you'll be all right tomorrow or next
day. But will you?
Certain it is VIXEN you do not feel
just right you arc not right. There
is probably something the matter
With your blood. And while you can
get around and do yoIr work you are
leaving yourself open to any of the
diseases that are always waiting to
take possession of run down people.
When you are pale and easily
tired, when you cannot enjoy your
meals, when you lose enthusiasm,
your blood needs attention.
Take Pepto-Mangan for awhile. 1t
is a great tonic. 1t will build up
your resistance to disease, and you
will soon feel stronger. The little
red corpuscles arc fighters. They
battle with disease germs and win
out when there are enough of them.
Keep your system well supplied. Then
you will keep well and you will enjoy
life.
But be certain you get the gen
uine Peptc- Mangan. Ask fCrs it by
the full name-"Gude's Pepto Man
gan" Some people take it in tablet
form. 1t is so convenient. The liz
uid and the tablets have the same
medicinal value. Look for tire name

Annoying Condition Relieved,

Atlanta, Ga.-Miss Alice Frances
Young, of % East Alexander Street,

manhood, I suffered SO much with
womanly weakness. My back ached.
I would have, at certain times, hot
feeling that seemed to go to my head.
Even my shoulders would hurt, and 1t
made me very dizzy and uncomfort-
able. When the blood would flow to
my head suppose that was what 1t
was-I would faint and feel 80 weak.

only medicine that ever did me any
good for this trouble"
Dizziness, headache, sideache, back
ache, tired-out feeling and other dis

In Loving Memory.

God placed within our garden here,
A tiny bud so pure, so dear.
We nursed it with tenderest care
Until it grew-oh wondrous fair;
An angel then with reckoning hand,
Transferred our flower to the
morning land,
To blossom forever where angels sing
In the beautiful homeland Of the
King"
earthly garden and plucked pre-
cious flower to transplant in the
warm sunshine of His heavenly gar
den.
The flower was the soul OF little
Raymond, son of Mr.. and Mrs. o. l..
Weaks, aged one year, eleven months
and twelve days. He died on Satur
day Dec. rs, 1920, at Myrtle, Miss,
where his parents were engaged in
teaching. He was brought home and
laid to rest in Shady Grove Cemetery
the following Monday.
He was sick about two weeks, and
all that loving hands could do was
done, but a greater power saw best
to take him away, so we must submit
to His will
1t is indeed hard for us to under
stand the movings of the Divine
Hand, and when this hand is ex-
tended into our homes or the homes
of our loved ones it becomes harder
to even try to interpret the will of
God. For Now we see through
glass darkly, then face to face" And
am sure when we are permitted to
look through we will see him play
ms in God'a eternal sunshine. His
pilgrimage on earth was short but
his home in heaven is eternal; and
but for this sweet and comforting
hope of Immortality how vain would
life be.
Dear f,,ther, mother, brother, it's
herd to part with little Raymond,
to know that never more can we hear
the sweet prattling voice, but may
we all live this life SO when our work
is finished and we are done with
the trials of this life, that we will be
ready to meet him in heaven around
the great white throne.
There is comfort in trials and
Affections,
If we only remember the Word
Whom He loveth He chasteneth."
To those who trust and have heard.
II life were only joy and sunshine,
And never a care did we 11eet,
Heaven would lose its brightness,
We would wander from Jesus feet.
But now He has taken your darling
Lean heavy upon His breast,
81 will not leave or forsakc thee"
And soon He will give you rest.

CAST.
Quaint Fairy Tale by Junior Players

The Junior Players yesterday af-
ternoon presented "Hansel and Gret-
ell" a play in three acts by Belle
Waddell Berryhill from the quaint
old fairy tale. This production, I'M
der the direction of Alice Martin,
was the second one given at the Art
lists Guild by the Junior Players this
season.
Every phaze of the little play
showed that its principal purpose
was to delight the youthful audience
Fairies, ginger bread men and a
wicked witch were all portrayed with
the seriousness attached to them by
the childish imagination. Not once
was there a reversion from the view
point as expressed in the typical re-
marks of one small actor, 81 wonder
who all the parents belong to-"
The two leading characters, Han
sci and Gretel, made an irresistible
pair from the time of their Danish
ment into the forest through their
adventures with the witch, and in
the final scene in the garden of their
rich, long-lost uncle, Gustav.
The scene in the witch's cottage
was the most pretentious of the play
Here the sugar cake, the peppermint
hearts, the candied apple, the taffy,
the gingerbread boy and the orna-
ment from the cake danced and sang
when brought to life by means of the
magic broom.
Not a member of the cast could
claim more than IL birthdays, and
the youngest, who was the ornament
for the cake, could claim only three.

BREEDING DAIRY COWS
FOR FALL FRESHEN HAS
NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES

A dairy COW will give about 20 per
cent, or one fifth, more milk or but
ter fat if she freshens in the fall than
If she freshens in the spring says c.
A. Hutton, dairy specialist, Division
of Extension, University of Tonnes
see. Many other advantages gained
by having the dairy cows freshen in
the fall are pointed out by Mr.. Hut
ton which are given here.
If the COW is fresh in October or
November she will milk well thru
the winter and when turned on pas
ture in the spring the succulent
grasses stimulate production thus
keeping up the yield until the hot,
dry season when flies are so bad.
The greatest yield is obtained dur
ing the winter when the price of
dairy products is the highest. Dairy
products bring the farmer about
third more money in winter than in
summer.
More time is available for dairy
work during the winter when there
is less field work to do. The winter
dairyman has better balanced la
Dor program than the summer dairy
man, and is better able to meet the
farm labor problem.
Calves dropped in the fall thrive
better than those dropped in the
spring.
The average CESSATION period for
the COW is 282 days. October and
November are good months for dairy
cows to freshen. Cows bred in Janu-
airy and February will freshen in Oc-
tober and November.
