If II Fits

1t often happens that the girl who
has led man merry chase leads
him a helluva life after he catches
her.
The paths Of glory may lead to the
grave, and lovers lane, these days,
too often leads to the Divorce Court.
Daughter is pretty good at telling
mother how to do things, but she
never has time enough to stop and
demonstrate it.
1t isn't the red-headed girls who
drive most men to the Divorce
Courts. 1t is the empty headed ones.
The proud daddy who likes to go
around boastng about what a Won
derful baby he has simply hasn't a
ghost of a show when he's up against
a bunch of fellows with new cars.
No matter what they say about it,
every woman down deep in her
heart thinks a model usband is one
who can provide enough cash for her
to dress better than her friends.
We don't know why women fall in
love with men. but it certainly is not
for their good looks because the
homeliest brute in town usually can
have his pick of the prettiest girls
of the town.
There are times when every mar
ried woman wonders why Job. being
man and never having to put up
with a fool husband or be the mother
of six kids. should have thought he
knew anything about trials.
Well bet the first time woman
goes out in the rain with her new
long skirt and feels the wet, sloppy
is going to use the feminine express
sion for ito hi" with such things,
and dig up the old Tbobbed skirt, even
if it is out of fashion.
We guess now when one woman
wants to be real mean to another
one she just kisses her and muses.
her complexion
The reason we do not think moth
ers will smoke while nursing their
babies is because women like that
never have any babies to nurse.
At that we guess there are a heap
more women who worry over their
beauty leaving them than there are
who worry over their husbands leav-
ing them.
This surely would be some model
world If it was as easy for people
to resist temptation as it is for them
to resist the cali to duty.

AN EVENING PRAYER
Furnished by DR.. w. A. ALLEN.)

Gracious Father. We confess the painful riddle
of our being that while claiming knship with Thee
We feel at times far from Thee. o, what means this

care Our hearts know rest, in Thee yet they
have sought it in this worlds vanglory, which
passeth away. We seek to Quench thirst the
ciserns of the earth. but they broken csterns,
that can hold water. Lead to Thy well of life
that springeth up unto eternal life. Amen.

Pioneer Farm Home Burns.

The destruction by fire last week
of the Jay Freeman farm residence on
the river between Emmett and the
Black Canyon, removes one of the
landmarks of this section. The orig
inal house was built nearly half a
century ago. Additions have been
built from time to time, but the ori-
pinal structure still remained. 1t
has been the property of Mr.. Freeman
until couple of years ago, when it
was purchased by Mr.. and Mrs. Free
mans son-in-law, Ed Botkin. The
cause of the fire is not known. Only
a few pieces of furniture and cloth
ing were saved. The loss is estimated
at $4,000, with insurance of $500. Mr..
and Mrs. Botkin were camping out at
Lowman at the time and Mr.. and Mrs.
Freeman were living on the place
during the Botkins' absence.

Effective Adxertising

Walter Stone has had printed fold
ers advertising 'Squaw Butte Or
chards" prunes, and it is good stuff
and should get results. The folders,
which are to be distributed in the ter
ritory where Squaw Butte Orchards
prunes are sold, emphasize the de-
STABILITY of prunes for canning. "Are
you canning 100 jars of fruit this
year," the folders ask, and then
suggests "If so, you should have at
least rs jars of Idaho fresh prunes,"
and tells the reasons. A number of
recipes for canning, jam, conserve and
jelly are given. Illustrations of
jar of canned prunes and fac-simile
crate of the fresh fruit from the
Squaw Butte Orchards embellish the
pages.

ner, the members of the Moose lodge

appeared at the ranch home of Mrs.
G. D. Amen Sunday and assisted Al
White and son, who donated the use
of their threshing machine, in thresh-
ing the crop of grain raised this sea-

members also assisted by taking well
filled baskets of eatables and serving
them to the hungry workers.
Mrs. Amen's husband a few months
ago became afflicted by a mental
trouble, caused by long illness, and
is now being treated at state hospi

the little family together and, with
the kind assistance of neighbors and
members of the Moose lodge, has
raised good crop of produce and
grain on the farm.
Such kindly acts make this troubled
old world seem brighter and cheerier
and exemplify the true principles
of fraternalism.

CITY MAY ENLARGE THE
JAIL
Addition to City Hall Will Be
Necessary for Contem-
plated Improvements.

The city council at their Monday
nights rneeting had under considera-
tion the building of an addition to
City Hall in order to increase TIE
capaciy Of the Jail, to enlarge the
council chamber and clerks office
and to make room for vault to safe
guard the city's records.
Mayor Peterson presented the need
of better and larger Jail facilities.
He stated that the building of the
Black Canyon dam, with the attend
ant demand for laborers, undoubtedly
will attract many hoboes and some
undesirable characters. As the pres
ent facilities consist of only one cell,
he urged that the city should prepare
for emergencies by adding two
double cells. Then, too. he pointed
out the need of vault for the pro-
lection of the records, and larger
council chamber and office room for
the clerk would not be amiss.
Perhaps the mayor is unduly alarm
ed as to the future need of additional
jail facilities-we don't know. The
council chamber and clerks office is
big enough for quite while, but a
fire proof vault for the records is cer-
tainly necessity.
Perhaps it would be good idea to
wait few years until financial con-
ditions become easier and then build
a real building. The present building
is a poor affair and offers no oppor-
tunity for convenient arrangement or
expansion to take care of steady
growth. 1t seems waste of money
to add to a building that never will
be suitable for the city's needs. The
fire department needs larger quarters
when modern fire truck is
added, which is pressing need right
now-more pressing than the enlarge
ment of the Jail facilities, in fact.
These things should be taken into con
sideration.
A committee composed of Council
men Barbour and Polly was appointed
70 investigate and report at an early
late.

Zeke Sweet and w. H. Day, princi-

above Sweet, were in town Monday on
their way home from Boise, where
they had been to secure assays of ore

of the increase Of the capital stock
from S250,000 at 81 per share to $3.50,
900 shares of common stock at 81 and
800 shares of preferred stock at 500.
The samples of ore assayed show
values of s712 per ton and both
gentlemen are quite enthusiastic.
They propose 70 sell enough stock
to construct tunnel at the lower
level and develop the property SO as
to make it producing mine.
