Returning Prodigals.

One thing that has given our in
dustrial centers an aspect of great
unemployment is the large number of
laborers whose proper place is on the
farm. They focked to the cities
when wages were high and work was
plentiful and now find themselves
without employment. 1t is true that
work has been very slack, but not so
bad as the numbers of idle men in the
cities would indicate. Happily they
are finding their way back to the
farms, and a normal distribution of
man power throughout the country
is becoming apparent.

EAST HOLDS UP
MONEY Owed TO
idaho GROWERS

Charges that eastern fruit COM
mission men are holding cash be-
longing to Idaho growers to ease
financial conditions there, were made
Monday by the state commissioner
of agriculture in Boise, in connec-
ton with an appeal from Middle
ton fruit grower, who has been un-
able to recover ON some of his fruit
and has asked the commissioner to
help him get his money.
The Middleton farmer says in his
letter to the state official that two
cars of prunes and 100 boxes of ap-
Piles, shipped September 25, have not
been accounted for by Welch and
WEIGH, the Chicago, commission men
to whom the fruit was consigned.
An incomplete accounting has been
made on five other cars of prunes
shipped and on each Of the bills
there has been deducted 10 per cent
for commission.
This indicates" said the com
missioner, "that the cars were sold
at auction as that is the usual per
centage for such sales but there are
no auction catalogs furnished. This
is not the only instance of such ac-
tions toward the Idaho growers.
Those commission houses appear to
have no regard for state regula-
tions and want to carry on their
business in their own way by get
ting the fruit, or other produce, sell
ling it and keeping the money just
as long as they possibly can, thus
sepriving the growers and the coun-
ty producing the produce, of the
money ACQUIRING from its own re-
sources for a long time when it
should be remitted promptly and de-
posted in our banks"

Laugh in a Mirror.

You can cultivate pleasant, con-
tagious and spontaneous laugh just
as we'll as you can cultivate a good
speaking voice But you must work
for it.
No doubt you hold an opinion OF
every one else's laugh but your own;
and unless you have frank and
ANALYTICAL friend or famously pleas
ant laugh, you may newer have stop
ped to consider how your voice
sounds when raised in laughter.
Ond yet it's part of your personality,
and you ought to know and care.
Give grin ait yourself in the mir
ror and see what other folks SEE
when yo1 smile or laugh. If it
isn't an ideal picture consider what
you can do to improve it. Many a
serious situation has been relieved
by a hearty laugh at the right mo-
ment. And at the same time the
mere act of laughing makes one
more optimistic, and tends to give
pleasant thoughts about our friends
and neighbors, so all in all it works
we'll all around.

Meeting of the Women's Auxiliary

AT the meeting of the Guild last
week with Mrs. Dan Latimore, an
interesting paper was read by Mrs
Vandegrift, who with one other
member of the Guild and a member
of the choir accepted the inwitation
extended by the Glenns Ferry Aux
Hilary and enjoyed with them the
story of the work of the Woman S
Auxiliary from one of the National
workers sent out from Washington
The St James Guild have been tinvit-
ed to join the Auxiliary as they are
doing practically the same work, and
it will be finally determined at the
next meeting which will be with
Mrs. Park December 8th. Mrs. Van
degrift's paper in part is as follows:
Arriving at Glenns Ferry we
three were met by the Guild presi-
dent and were taken directly to the
Chapel which was neat and cOzy
and bore evidence of much faithful
work.
About thirty ladies gathered to
listen to Mrs. Biller and after a
hymn and prayer for missions, Rev.
Wood introduced the speaker who
won us ait once with her plain i'm
pressive personality that speaks Of
strength of character and sacrifice
to the highest principles of life.
Mrs. Biller lis the wife of the late
Bishop Biller of South Dakota and
her work has been a beautiful ex-
ample of self sacrifice that she is
carrying on since the death of her
husband a few years ago.
''We have very imperfect ideas
of what the Home Missionary work
consists of and of what value it is
to us as Christianized nation to
add to our forces for good from the
uncivilized numbers among us. We
are apt to think of the missionary
field as one of the miner Depart
ments of our work but Mrs. Biller's
talk made one feel very keenly that
we cannot put too much strength
into our efforts for great is the work
and greater the need The Auxiliary
has adopted as one of dts branches
of helpfulness the plan of organized
prayer meetings, such as the one we
are having December 1st We have
all the qualifications necessary ITO
belong to the Woman's Auxiliary as
outlined by Mrs. Biller."

the team are also from universities,

They have lost the Freedom and
independence which are the very
aonl OF all wholesome American in

that the only way to restores pre-
