LINCOLN LINES


Unforeseen circumstances has neees-
sarily abbreviated Lincoln Lines this
week and rs result we are not able
to reach all o. we would like to do
and as we could do if you neighbors
would kindly hand in any little items
as they appear and cooperate with us
in making this section Of our COM
munity little better as result. We
can not urge too often that little
help in the way of news items will
mean more and better news items for
us all. We are sure that all of you
like to read what your neighbor is
doing and where he is at if he is away
on business or pleasure, how the gem
eral health of the community is and
all little interesting items Of improve
nents, etc. Some philosopher or other
once said that a chain is no stronger
than its weakest link, and so it is
with cut community, no improvement
is made but what it strengthens the
entire community and the news that
this is being done travels fastest by
two methods, one of which is the
printed page and the other is by hear
say, one is authoritative, while the
other is as a rule not reliable. Let
US combine our forces to get things
straight from henceforth. Are you
with US or are you Indifferent? With
what time we have we will give the
accumulated news as best as it has
arrived in the trend Of events.
E. L. Nye, our cousin from Cabar-
ton and husband of Mrs. Eta Shaw
Nye, arrived Monday to visit his wife
and spend short time seeing the
country while the snow is going off
above Mr.. Nye is better known as
"Bnr Nye. as he has the famous
humorist cheated clear off the map
for telling stories and holding the en-
durance record for being versatile
member of the Annanias Club. New
ertheless, Bill is fine fellow as
our auctioneer would say, when he
wants to land solar plexus blow with
out you finding it out till the next
day.
Joe Young of Payette made short
visit to Emmett last week to call on
his sister, Mrs. Nina Johnson and
family Joe reports very cold wealth
er at Payette about the same time we
were getting ours.
The Modin boys are hauling hay
these days, to help fill up time and
the home stock with something. The
boys are hauling from the upper
Westlake ranch where they bargain
ed for hay. Raymond has however,
been trying very hard to escape man
ual labor by spending few days in
Boise. Most of us know why Boise
holds such an attraction for Ray at
last.
At last there has been formed a
pleasure club in our community which
shows all the ear markings of being
a real honest to Allah organization.
1t is one which has in view four meet
ings a month for its members and
which will allow every one of what
ever taste they may be to thoroughly
have their appetite satisfied as to
entertainment Real talent will be
exhibited in selecting games for GER
tain occasions; dancing will also be
provided, with suitable music, and re-
freshments will be served at the pro-
per time with the proper time selected
for retreating homeward instead of
making an all night stand as some of
our meetings have been in the past.
The list is open now for new MEM
bers' names and the club expects to
open active warfare on. Gloom and
at their first big invita-
ton dance at the Modin residence Sat
urday night. Come on, young folks,
show where you stand, Either boost
or remain standing out Of the way
so some one else can have chance
to do their bit.
Those who have waited long for
electric lights are having the desire
for better illumination satisfied by
some carbide systems in
their homes. With water power go
ing to waste, with energy without
speeding ever by, IS it not
crime that we intelligent people will
allow some private corporation to
gain control of our power sites which
we should own as community.
