IOWA PICNIC
WELL ATTENDED

The Iowa Picnic and reunion held
at Washoe grove last Friday, was
attended by large crowd who gath
cred from southwestern Idaho, East
ern Oregon, and various other places.
II was estimated that about 500 were
in attendance. The program, as prev
iously advertised was carried out IN
a very pleasing manner, and many
meetings of old time friends was a
frequent occurrence. during the day,
and to some extent, detracted from
attention TO the speaking, singing
and music. Fully one-half OF the peo-
pie were from a distance. but the
entire crowd mingled together as one
big family. 1t was truly very pleas
ant gathering and one we will look
forward to another year.
The throng of people was called
to order by Auctioneer E. w. Dunn
chairman of the program, immediate
ly after the big picnic dinner, when
the program started by an invocation
by Rev. n. II. Farnham. Major Harry
T. Lewis followed by an address OF
welcome. which was very fitting for
the occasion. The McKinzie Band
which played a big part in the days
enjoyment, struck up rag-time that
started the oldest of us to wiggling
our toes-in fact F. r. Marshall Of
Nyssa, stepped on some of our toes
in shimming thru the crowd. Mrs.
B. F. Huff read a splendid article
entitled Iowa Picnic.' Marie Gauer
reading was another feature of the
program that was excellent. The read
ing by Mrs. SpainhOwer was good.
The songs by Mrs. Bernard Eastman,
the three Parsons-Miss Naomi.
Katherine and Lynn, also the songs
by a member of the McKinzie Band,
we're all a display of vocal ability
and highly appreciated. Col. Patch
was not overlooked among the speak
ers, and gave his usual good adsress.
Miss Myrtle Blue favored the audi
enCe with a reading; and speech
by H. c. Barringer of Emmett,
wound up the program.
The election of officers which fol-
lowed the program was as follows:
President-Major Harry T. Lewis.
Secretary-Mrs. Spainhower.
Treasurer. d. Baker.
On motion duly carried, commit
tee of three was appointed by the
president to decide on a location for
the next Picnic. The committee ap-
pointed was composed of James
Barnard of Emmett; Bernard East
man of Payette and a gentleman from
Weiser. 1t was decided to accept the
Weiser invitation to hold the affair
next year at the Oregon Trail Park
where we are confident every detail
in making the next Annual Iowa pic
mic and Reunion a grand success
will be carried out. Elsewhere in this
issue we are publishing the names,

The Hutchinson family and Mrs.
Ruth Moss returned Tuesday eve
ming from a camping trip on Goose
Creek. They report huckleberries
plentiful and fishing good, but their
slumbers were somewhat interrupted
by the pack rats which took ad-
vantage of the opportunity, and
feathered their winters nest with
socks and other articles of wearing
apparel. The climax was reached
when Mrs. Moss found her switch
missing and had to return home a
little light in the upper story.

WEATHER VANE REAL ANTIQUE
Ito Origin Goes So Far Back in His.
tory That It Is Impossible
to Trace 1t,

The origin OF the weather vane is
unknown. One of the most ancient of
which there is any record is that men
toned by Vitruyius, and the ruins OF
the Tower OF the Winds Of which
he speaks, still stand in Athens. This
building was erected about century
before the Christian era. He writes
Those who have paid most atten-
tion to the winds make them eight in
number, and particularly Andronicus
Cyrrhestes, who built at Athens an
octagonal tower of marble, and cut
ON each face the figure of the several
winds, each looking to the quarter
from which that wind blows.
ION the tower he placed a marble
column on which was a Triton of
bronze holding "a rod in his right
hand. And he contrived it that the
figure moved round with the wind so
that 1t constantly stood opposite it,
and the rod, which was above the fig
ure, showed in what direction the wind
blew. #

The DickcisseI.

The dickcissel is a small migratory
bird, about six and one-fourth inches
long, the male beautifully blended with
yellow, white and gray, and with a
black throat patch and brown shoulders.
The female is duller. These birds are
very numerous in the middle portions
Of the United States, frequenting dry,
bushy fields or prairies. The dickcissel
is a persistent songster, although it's
song is weak and has little melody. In
July and August, when many birds are
silent, dickcisse!s continue their plain
tive chant, even on the most sultry
days. Their chanting is a simple
"chip, chip, che-che-chee." They
build their nests of weeds, grasses,
rootlets, corp husks and the like. They
build on the ground, in bushes and
th1stles, and sometimes In trees. The
eggs Of the dickcissel are four or five
in number. They are a plain, blush
white, hardly distinguishable from
those Of the bluebird.

Mr.. Gratebar's Trouble Test.

Could there be any butter proof OF
the insubstantial nature of most OF
our troubles than is found in the fact
that old troubles are completely
brushed away by new? We may fret
and bother and worry over something
for days, and even lie awake nights
over IT n we must; but let some new
trouble, real or Imaginary, come a4ong
and straightway we forget the old one
entirely, showing conclusively that the
old one was never worth worrying
over. We've all had the experience,
haven't we? Surely. And the chances
are hundred to one that this new
trouble THAT has popped up isn't
worth any more serious consideration
than the old one which it has dis
patched. New York Sun.

Beads in the Leyant.

Beads are more necessary than
bread to the Levantine. Men, women
and children wear and carry beads to
ward off i'll luck. Even the horses
and donkeys have strands of beads
about their necks ito battle the evil
eye'' and the long horns Of the work
oxen are decorated with blue and
white beads to keep them from fall
ing prey to disease.
In. Athens, Constantinople, Tifis,
Smyrna and other cities Of the Levant
men Of all classes carry short strands
Of fidget beads which they play with
while walking in the street, riding in
street cars and trains, just as nervous
men in the West finger their watch
chains. Bead shops abound every
where in the larger cities and general
stores and market stalls sell them in
the smaller places. Peddlers hawk
them in the streets everywhere.

American Legion Posts to Remen-
Der Dead Comrades on z.
Memorial Day.

. & T. 5ra 4 4
In Flanders fields the poppies grow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scrace heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Poppies and Flanders fields. The
great war has crowned that flower
with sanctity all its own. From now
on it will be deemed sacred emblem
by the public the world over, and es-
pecially by Legionaires, to whom it is
"The Memory Flower, officially a
dopted by them as tribute to their
buddies who sleep in Flanders fields.
Perhaps it is the poem Of 1t. McCrae
''In Flanders Fields that has given
the scarlet poppy it's new significance.
1t was during the battle of Ypress that
1t. McCrae wrote these sweet, sad
lines, and now he is sleeping in the
poppy fields which he has so beautifully
immortalized- killed in action IN
Flanders on Jartuary 20, 1918.
ye break faith with those who die,
we shall not sleep, though poppies
grow in Flanders fields" says the
second verse of the poem, and that is
why, on Memorial Day, every Legion
aire will wear over his heart scarlet
poppy in memory of his pals who paid
the last full measure of devotion to God
and country. Throughout Minnesota,
Memorial Day will be preceded by
Poppy Week., when each Legion
post, with the help of school girls
dressed in white and carrying baskets
of scarlet poppies, will pin poppy over
every heart as silent tribute to the
memory of those who will wake no
more
The use Of the poppy on Memorial
Day in no way conflicts with the wear
ing of the sprig of evergreen adopted
by many Of the older veteran organiza
tions. The poppy was primarily in
tended to be worn by Legionaires in
memory of their comrades who are
buried overseas, but the beautiful
sentiment involved has captured every
heart, and the general public is only
too willing to take this means of silently
expressing its gratitude and devotion
to 'those who lived, felt dawn, saw
sunset glow, loved and were loved, and
lie in Flanders fields"

logged along the country road in his
white wagon feeling, as he expressed
it to himself, considerably down in the
mouth. For one thing, the dress goods
ordered parcel post from the huge
mail order house had not arrived for
old Mrs. Bassett; for another, he was
bringing Joel Sanders, long out Of
work from rheumatic fever, another
bill from his city landlord; but most
important of all, he had no letter for
Ellen Mary.
Now, John M. Clark was very sym
pathetic young fellow and the thought
of the disappointment in Ellen Mary's
blue eyes when she ran down to the
letter box to waitafor him and found
that still no letter had come, was very
upsetting.
Yes, there she was! He could catch
glimpse of her white dress as she
ran lightly down the slope of the lawn
to the gate. He gave his white horse
a nick OF the whip, either to get the
business over with or to shorten the
interval before having a chance to
speak to her.
Ellen Mary had grown up in the last
year. Although he wasn't very many
years her senior, he could recall her
as little girl with long braids and a
happy laugh. He had watched the
braids disappear into thick, fluffy
knot at the nape of her neck and her
skirts lengthen decorously.
And since last summer he had oh
served that her happy laugh had gone,
