DISTINGUISHED
BOARDER AT THE
ELMORE co. JAIL

Roland H. Smith, former sheriff
of Cassia county, who was Friday
last found guilty of violating the
Mann act, was sentenced in the fed
eral court to twelve months in the
Elmore county jail, and he is now
the guest of Arthur A. Stevens, our
sheriff.
Smith was charged with having
transported Mrs. Cleghorn from Salt
Lake to Boise for immoral purposes,
and the complaint recited other in
stances. At that time Mr.. Smith had
wife and family in Burley. Mrs.
Smith died the latter part of July,
and the ex-sheriff welded Mrs. Cleg-
horn, but this did not stave off the
prosecution of the federal govern
ment.
The Elmore county Jail, on ac-
count of its sanitary surroundings,
and freedom from low class violat-
ors of the law, is a favorite with
transgressors of the federal laws, and
three prisoners are now enjoying its
hospitality.

REPUBLICANS AT
SMITH PRAIRIE
HAVE GOOD TIME

Every candidate for office on the
Republican county ticket went tc
Smith Prairie Tuesday of this week,
where they report having had the
time of their lives.
All of the various candidates adj
dressed the large crowd which had
assembled for the doings, and the
talks were spaced out with some of
the most interesting horse races ever
pulled off.
The winners of the horse races, in
stead of receiving cash prizes, re-
ceived stock in the fair association
which is being formed at Smith Prai-
rie, and inasmuch as everyone in
that neighborhood seems to be a
rabld booster for everything which
makes for his community's welfare,
all were satisfied.
Those attending the rally state
that they never have received more
hospitable treatment than accorded
them at the Prairie Tuesday, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike insist
ing on showing them good time.
In the evening dance was given,
which was greatly enjoyed by a large
of merry-makers until con-
siderably after midnight.

The Rev. Tom Blodgett delivered
an inspired talk Of about thirty min

extolled the virtues and beautiful
lives OF those who had carried on so

Never must they feel that they are
useless or in the way.
Mr.. Blodgett paid an earnest trib-

hymn books, such as From Green

Many tears dimmed the eyes of
the congregation during the services,
but they were mostly tears of pride
and Joy. 1t was one of the most sat
sfactory and beautiful services ever
held in Mountain Home.

yards.
He became member of the Noun

the local lodge was formed, and
transferred to Glenns Ferry at the
time OF its organization and was
elected to an important office. He
was an enthusiastic worker, always
ready and willing to aid any good
cause and did much good work in
connection with the organization of
the local Masonic lodge. He had a
host of friends who will miss him
sorely, and leaves a little daughter
about years of age and two broth
ers who live in Canada.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for the funeral services.

IDAHO LOSES NATIONAL
CRUSADE CUP TO IOWA IN
INTERSTATE CUP CONTEST

The beautiful silver cup which the
Idaho school children won from Iowa
a year ago will return there. The
kiddies from the corn state have
worked hard enough to win it back
from the Gem State Crusaders and
now that the coming year will see it
kept permanently in Iowa.
The Idaho children have accepted
the challenge and the first of October
will see them doing health chores as
never before. The cup has been
journeying over the state all this
year, and all who have seen the tro-
ply love it, and such battle as
never has been waged before will be
fought for health honors.
The Idaho record was a splendid
one this year-one-fifth of the Cru
saders finished the fifteen-week
course in health habits and received
the badge of Knight Bannerette, an
increase of 1000 over last year.
The Center Valley school at Sam
uels in Bonner county won the Ma
tional Grand Banner in Division l.
Twenty-Five national pennants were
won by Idaho in this second tourna-
ment, making a total of 2 grand
banners and 4S national pennants
during its school year.
Elmore county pennant winners
for the year 1921-22: Violet Stew
ems, Kathleen Smith, Jean Wenz and
Gertrude Groefsema of the Mountain
Home public school.

Bring Back Goats

Walter G. Corker, c. L. Swan and
others who left the early part of last
week, returned Sunday from hunt
ing trip in the hills with two goats
to their credit, whether dead or
alive reports do not state, but as all
of them are prominent in lodge cir
cles, and the local goats are some
what the worse for wear owing to
the large increase in lodge member
ship generally, it is probable that
these goats were brought in alive
and that we shall hear more of them
in the near future.

MY FIRST TRIP
TO SMITH PRAIRIE
General Utter Describes Voyage and
Extols Hospitality of Prairie
ites-A Narrow Escape
.PTER XII.

On the morning of Oct 10, Mr..
Stevens, the sheriff, invited me to
go with him to the Prairie, as there
was going to be horse racing and
public speaking by the candidates
for Office on the Republican ticket in
Elmore county.
After due deliberation, I decided
to accept his invitation, believing it
might help my candidacy for justice
of the peace.
1t was my first offense, and like
every delinquent, have promised
myself it will be the last.
The trip is delightful one, espe-
cially the Cow Creek HILL and the
many interesting localities along
the road where some man was killed
or murdered or some outlaw made
his escape in the early history of
the country; also the scenic beauty
of the switchbaeks on the raise from
the river to the Prairie are thrilling
to a tenderfoot newly from the states
of the plains.
We arrived at the Prairie store
about IL a. m. and had fine dinner
cooked by Art and another cow
puncher at the house of Jim Mowry,
he being absent, and the whole place
was ours. The chickens and three
legged cat tried to make us welcome |
and the chickens came near doing it |
tool
After dinner we went back to the |
store and set up the cigars, and /
found John Gaines and whole |
bunch of candidates eating a grocery |
lunch and visiting with the Smith
Prairie people gathered for the oc-
casion.
At about p. m. a program of
races was carried out at the race
track near the store, followed by
short speeches from the county can
didates and myself, when l took spe-
cial pains to solicit votes for my com
ing election, then the bulls were
taken out and rode, and they seemed
both surprised and annoyed at being
so rudely treated.
After the entertainment, which
was filled to the brim with that pio-
neer hospitality that one finds only
with those who build empires, with
put polish, but with clean hands and /,
an open heart, we went to the home
1f Mrs. Bower, who gave us a real ,
supper just like mother used to cook,
and after a final handshake we
started home, but just as we begin +,
he descent from the Prairie to the
river, and got to one of the sharpest
.urns and steepest grades, porcu- /
pine showed up in the upper track ,
lear the bank. We turned to one !
ide and passed him, and do you |
Inow, that porky seemed four feet
vide as we went by, and l know the +
outside wheels Travelled on air for II
20 feet, and there was 1000 feet of Z
t below us, but we got by and !
cached home tired but happy in a s
lay well spent, and with a feeling
hat the world and its people were I
till worth while. S

REGULAR MEETING
OF CIVIC Club
Better Homes for America" Subject
of an Interesting Program
An Enjoyable Session

The regular meeting of the Civic
Club was held in the library Wednes-
day afternoon, with good attend
ance, the meeting being opened on
time by the president.
The club voted to become mem
ber of the State Federation, and Mes
danes Caldwell, vandegrift and Bar
rett were elected delegates and Mes
danes Cooper and Harley alternates
to the convention to be held in Bur
ley from the 18th to the goth of
, October.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting the program committee, rep
resented by Mrs. Rich Thompson,
took charge and presented program
the subject of which was Better
Homes for America" The first num-
Der was a clipping from the Delinea-
tor. read by Mrs. Rich Thompson.
The editor of this magazine sent the
following telegram to every COVER
nor in the United States:
''Will you cooperate with the De-
lineator in better homes campaign
by proclaiming in your state second
week of October Better Homes
Week? Earnestly hope your state
will be represented in this important
movement"
Within a few days over half the
governors had wired the editor that
their state stood behind Better Homes |
for America. Besides these COVER
nors (who were almost all from the
West and Middle West), the move
ment is endorsed by Herbert Hoover,
of commerce; Henry C.
Wallace, secretary of agriculture;
DR.. John M. Cries, assistant secre-
tary of commerce.; C. w. Rugsley, as
sistant secretary of agriculture, and
Calvin Coolidge, vice-president of
the United States.
The next number on the program
was an exceptionally well-written
paper by Mrs. Cora Collins. She said
in part:
Political economists long ago be-
gan to teach the value of homes

portion of Mothe rEarth, and on this

say, than one not so anchored Our

preston of true democracy. The old

Herbert Hoover says, There is no
Incentive to thrift like the owner
hip of property. A man will de-
,elop and defend home, but no
nan exer worked for or fought for a
house.
Vice-Presideut Coolidge says,
There are two shrines at which man
