There was a suppressed laugh.
Glenn smiled, rather sheepishly.
But he turned his face full toward
the. little horn.
Garrick had OWNED what. was
coming. Sort of Freuddian, I
guess he whispered to Ruth,
recalling her mothers repetition
of Ruth's psychoanafysis-
'tHuh," laughed Ruth, taking
no pains to modulate her tone
More like the -terrier-His Mis-

Come now-pout your lips,
Glenn came from the loud speak
er followed by a 5laugh-then an
unmistaken radio kiss.
Disconnected after his ardent at

looked. as if he. would have drop

Ruth glanced quickly from

to Miss Anna Brekal, field secretary,

D R { so n TRAIL
STATUS TALKED
Kiwanis Speaker Pleads
for Preservation of
Landmark.

Pleas for the preservation of the
Old Oregon Trail we're made before
Caldwell Kicanians Thursday by Wal
ter E. Meachem, Baker Kiwanian
and president Of the newly formed Old
Oregon Trait Association
Tracing the history of this old trans
continental thoroughfare, Mr. Meach-
EN- painted graphic picture of the
fortitude and suffering which establish
ed this route. Speaking briefly of the
historical features of the trail, Mr..
Meachem pointed out that the route
was first traversed by the William
Price Hunt expedition in 1912, en-
route to Astoria. He told briefly
of the great trek in 1928 when
100000 persons crossed the western
country starting from independence,
Missouri.
Mr. Meachem Wednesday ronferred
with Governor D. w. Davis and the
state highway department relative to
the preservation of this route.
Wednesday evening he presented his
plan to the Nampa Chamber of Com
merce.
Booklets, descriptive of the route and
profusely illustrated with maps and
scenes along the way, were distributed
among those present Thursday. Thes,
pamphlets of which $4,000 are being
printed in a campaign to bring tour
lists westward over the old Oregon
trail, treat briefly of the history of tn,
route.
DR.. F. A. Bryan, state commissions
of education, spoke briefly on prob
lens of education confronting Idah,
today. In particular he emphasized tn
necessity of recognizing the impera
tive need of providing ample funds TO
schools through periods of depression
such as the present one.

Meridian Scares the
High School Team.
Recruit Pitcher Stands Locals on
Heads for Time-Score was
to o.

The Caldwell high school baseball
team got its first real scare of the sea-
SON Tuesday when Meridian threaten
ed for five innings of a seven inning
matinee to break the league leaders
long winning streak. Johnson, an
elongated recruit, pitching for the
Prune Pickers, struck out the first six
men who faced him and looked as
though he might continue to do so all
night
But speed proved incapable of per-
petually disconcerting the Caldwell
swatsmiths. D. Lowell got a hit
in the third frame and worked his way
to second base where he died. In the
fourth inning one score was counted
to break the pitchers duel. between
Field and Johnson and from that time
on, the ice broken, Caldwell sluggers
got in their heavy stick work. A real
rally in the sixth netted four runs.
One of the features of the game was
the performance of popular Peter Kim
on the second hassock. He ielded
nicely, covering about 10 acres of ter.
tory and lead the team in batting with
two beautiful clouts to his credit in
three times up. ;
Field pitched his usual mastery
game, letting Meridian down with two
hits and never being in any particular
danger of being scored upon.

EADY EXCEPT
FAIR v T At HER
Stage is Set for Southern
Idaho Interscholastic
Meet Here Saturday;
Track Likely to be Slow

Everything but the weather is in
rediness for the first souther idaho
track meet which will
be staged on the College of Idaho
field Saturday afternoon The first
event, the so yard dash, will be pulled
off promptly at 2 p. m. and every sue
ceeding event will be run through in
accordance with a schedule drawn
up this week by officials who will ham
die the affair
Forty two entries had been received
Thursday noon by J. J. Rae, chairman
OF this district and general supervisor
of the track meet Saturday. Addition
al entries from the eastern part of the
state were expected Thursday evening.
Attendance at the meet will not be so
hrg as was first thought because of the
frequent overlapping of entries. Wes-
ley Doe of Burnley, for instance, is
that districts representative in five
events having qualified at the district
meet held recently in Burnley. Other
similar instances have served to cut
markedly into the attendance. This
fact was hailed with delight by those IN
charge because it permits better hand
ling of the meet, with less confusion
and less delay. Special attention IS TO
be paid to pulling off events or sched-
ule and as rapidly as possible so that
the meet will not drag. If prelimin-
aries are found necessary in the dashes,
they will be staged Saturday morning.
Probably at least one field event, the
pole vault, will be run through at that
time, at least to the finals.
| No visitors will be allowed on the
field. Not even track met from COM
peting schools will be given field bad
ges This step was decided upon to
prevent interference from the crowd
at all time and to give those who are
on the sidelines a full view of the
field. Special police will be on hand
to enforce this arrangement Cars
will park on the south side of the
field while the north side will be re-
served for pedestrians.
Rains and an overflow of irrigating
water soaked the track this week with
with the result that it will probably
not be particularly fast for Saturdays
races unless the weather takes a decid-
ed turn.
Score and entry cards will be printed
and be on sale at the meet so that
spectators at all times can be informed
bt the standing of competing teams and
Individual entries These cards will car
ry the entries in each event by num-
bers, the time of the event, officials
directing the meet and places for
listing winners together with the
time.
Mr.. Rae is to act as supervisor of
the field Arson Cornell is to be
referee and starter, AIDE Hyde and H.
f. A. Jones are clerks in charge of
field work, Carroll Atkinson, James
Keane and Willard Johnson are judges
of the finish. H. R.. Hurtt.. Swain
Beatty and George Froman are timers.
Prof. Van Mugs is to have charge of
the weight events while Frank Meek
will direct the jumps.

EN- Acre Tract Is
Sold for Big Price.

Ten acres of land at Kirkwood,
near Midway, was sold Tuesday
by ]. S. Gillespie, the owner, for
$1,000, an average of $500 per acre.
J. w. Scott of Leon, Iowa, pur-
chased the property. This sale
is regarded as indicating the value
of Boise valley property in small
and intensely cultivated tracts.
Kirkwood is just such a district.
