Mrs. Geo. Sullens and son Harold,
and Fern Cole were dinner guests
Sunday of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Bar
ker of near Fruitland.
Monday forenoon ranchers of
Dead Ok Flat visited the ]. L.
Brown and A. A. Gutteridge ranch
es to inspect the experiments being
conducted in raising special crops.
OF special interest on the Brown
ranch was the field of late peas
grown for the cannery at Payette.
This field of peas is the best crop
ever grown in this vicinity. Also
the seed plot of Idaho Rurals
grown from certified seed from
Burley,, Idaho, and experiments on
stem end and blossom end cuts,
| were an eye opener to those who
saw the crop on the Gutteridge
| ranch. A fine field of. winter
wheat, Hybrid No. 1928, was inspect
ed, also the spring wheat known as
r6u6TdIlOuS, WulCh " OlhioOo "
take the place of all other spring
wheat grown in this climate on ac-
count of it's high yield and grade.
A very extensive experiment in the
growing of soy beans, the seed hav-
ing been shipped from several ex-
pertinent stations in the east and
innoculated with soil shipped from
fields that had grown soy beans.
This work carried on at consider
able expense will undoubtedly re-
suit in great benefit to this farming
community and Messrs. Brown and
Gutteridge are to be commended on
their labors along this line.
At Payette Sunday afternoon our
baseball team was again successful
against the Payette second team by
a score of 12 to 10. This leaves

three men ahead of him.

TOM MOORE COMES BACK

Do you remember the stirring days
in the spring of 1917? Tom Moore
featured player in "Over the Bor'
der" associates the fifth anniver-
sary of Americas entry into the
war with another fact. He was at
that time working in his last Lasky
picture until he returned exactly
five years later to play this part
opposite Betty Compson in the Pen
rhyn Stanlaws production which will
open Friday and Saturday at the
Dreamland theatre.
The picture was 1.-The Jaguar's S
starred and FRITZ Brunette as the
leading woman. Seems quite a
while ago, Ell? However, Tom has
been quite busy since then, becom-
ing a star in his own right, and fam

tions. He admits, though that he
likes better being a romantic lead
ing man, as his present role of Tom
Flaherty, a Northwest Mounted
Police officer.

MANY BIRDS AVOID IRELAND
Species That Are Common In England
Are Not to Be Found In tho
Emerald Isle.

One Of the curious features Of wild
life In Ireland is the absence Of some
of the birds best known in England.
The nightingale, for instance, Is never
found In Ireland, while the wood
warbler, the redstart, all the species
of woodpecker, the wryneck, the nut
hatch and several other kinds are SO
rare that they are unknown to the
great majority of the people. There
seems to be no very obvious reason
for the absence Of these birds. II may,
perhaps. be found in the lines of MI
grafton along which the birds travel,
for most Of those mentioned above are
not resident in Britain all the year.
But II Is certainly strange that such
bird, for instance, as the common
whitethroat, should thrive everywhere
in Ireland while the lesser variety Is
unknown. and that while the willow
warbler is one Of the commOnest of
summer birds Its larger relative, the
wood warbler, Is found In only few
places and In very few numbers. Ire
land can only boast Of one bird, the

INVARIABLY SEEK HIGH POINT
Writer Who Claims to Know Points
Out Error to Which Lost Per-
sons Are inclined.

The recent discovery Of the skeleton
Of lost child on the summit of the
highest mountain in the Bennachle
group in Aberdeenshire holds no mys-
terry for an Australian bushman.
The skeleton Is supposed to be that
Of two-year-old child lost seven years
ago from farm two miles away, and
at the time of the disappearance there
were apparently a number of theories
put forward for the loss-that the
child had been stolen by gypsies, eaten
alive by pigs or carried away by an
eagle.
But had man experienced In the
behavior Of lost children been asked
what was likely to have become Of the
lost infant he would have said,
Search all the highest points within
few miles, and on one Of them, un-
less he has perished on the way, you
will fnd the lost child"
In countries like Australia, where
there are still vast tracts of partially
settled country, the danger Of getting
bushed," as it is called, Is still a real
one.
1t is not always children who get

unless the lost person has bush expert

Here, then is'a piece of advice from

Directly you realize that you are

departed. Remember that your first
consideration is to reserve your
strength.
You will be tempted to 30 up hill
to see, to get into freer spaces. Don't
do this. Go down hill. All rivers flow
downward; you will find water in the
valleys. Most settlements are In the
valleys. And going down hill eats up
