Mrs. Frank DeKay, state war
mother returned recently from Soda
Springs, which city had the distinc=
ton of being hostess to the first dis
trict chapter session of tho War
Mothers ever held in the State of
Idaho. The delegates were royalty
entertained. All the meals were
served at tho beautifully appointed
homo OF Mrs. Gorton Sr.
Among the special features was a
fish fry. The trout were caught in
Bear River. Then e. tour was taken
OF all tho Soda Springs in the vicinity
some of which spout up like small
geysers. Wo were also shown the
site of historic old FIR. Conner. The
sightseeing tour was concluded with
a trip to the new phosphate mine at
Conda, city which has sprung up in
less than a year and where the Ana
conda Smelter company has expend.
ed 100000 in less than year
The entire output of the mines has
been bargained for by Japan. Thurs

the delegates and. guests with u
musical followed by a reception.
Thursday afternoon Mrs. Largil-

teries there and displayed large sized
photographs of these beautiful nicely
kept concentration cemeteries. She
brought to the gold star mother OF
Soda Springs, whose son sleeps in
Romangue cemetery some OF the
earth from his grave. Her descrip-
tion of the cemeteries and the bayo-
net trench at Verdun, at Dead Mans
Hill, where the hail of shells covered
the men in the trench and only their
bayonets were visible, was tragic
She also saw the riddled Savior
Train which is also on exhibition
which brought the relief to Verdun
when Marshil Foch told them they
must not yield an inch. They shall
not pass. And they did not pass.
The following district officers

FIRST SNOW STORM.

When the natives emeged from

knOtty Hands


Knotty hands are like "heavy" hands
in some respects. They're built around
a heavy. bony structure. But here
the similarity ceases. BY the knotty
hand, as you probably have surmised,
is meant the hand in which the knuck
les are bony and prominent. They are
80 because the tough. large, feshy
structure Of the "heavy" hand is lack
ing.
This type Of hand does not indicate
physical toughness and energy SO much
as Independence and a mind which
works in decided fashion along lines of
reason and logic.
The knotty handed person is as a
general proposition a pretty good all
around useful citizen. He's not on
posed to sentiment, but his reason and
his logic dominate his emotions pretty
largely. He acts on mental conclu :
sionS rather than upon impulse. He's
| likely to be rigid in his code, whatever
that code Is. accurate and dependable il
his own actions AID exacting Of Others
in this same respect.
Yet withal, though undemonstrative
he is inclined to be tactful, discreet anC
diplomatic, even in his exactions from
others. lie Is conscientious In his IN,
dertakings, and though practically il
one of the keynotes of his character, h,
is more often than not a pretty keel

squalling and kicking as she lay In her
crib. Cuties mother was trying to stop
her crying by rocking her and Offering
her nice warm milk.
But Cutie didn't want to be rocked.
md she Knocked away hcr bottle of
milk. Her mother didn't know what
to do with her. At one moment the
mother was very much worried over her
and the next moment the mother grew
cross. Such crying and kicking were

Baby Cutie.
As for Baby Cutie's father. lie picked

mother could sec Doctor Fun. nor Jack

Doctor Fun poked ut Cutie. tho baby,
with his finger. That made lutte cry

Cutie 4 taste Of one of his candy
sticks.
"Yow- VOW VOW" yelled Cutie. and
she hit at the candy with her chubby
