The familiar form of dad Wiley
will not be seen any more in passing
on his way to town to his office, as he
called it, as he left last Wednesday
for the high hills. dad" expects to
be gone during the heated part of the
season and will be engaged in pros.
! pecting and forest service work be-
yond Knox He has traded for a new
riding "hoss" and will spend most OF
his spare time in the saddle. Seeing
Mr.. Wiley leave US just when the hot
weather is settling down in earnest
making the weeds jump clear out OF
sight over the heads of the vegetables,
makes US sort of get hankering for
a good trout stream ourselves. "1t's
/ catching, | tell you, it's catching"
| Howard Harper and Frank Suye-
hira will try some head lettuce this
season which will be planted on some
of Mr.. Harper's ground. Head lettuce
requires some so loads of barnyard
| fertilizer per acre as well as intense
cultivation, but returns are well worth
the effort. These two gentlemen hope
/ to demonstrate whether or not this in
dustry can be successfully carried on
in our community. This is a good
move and worthy Of support. Head
F, lettuce raised in Idaho, so we are told,
! will come off about right4for the holi-
days, getting tip-top marketing facil-
tiles for it We are waiting expect
antly the results.
Winfred West came near to what
might have been a serious accident
last Sunday while out driving in his
fathers Studebaker car. While round
ing a rather sharp corner near the
ball park a rear wheel came off, but
fortunately they were travelling at =
very moderate rate of speed and it
did no damage. If this had happened
to some birds we know who fly past
here they would be spilled all over the
landscape.
Miss Carter, sister Of Mrs. Marvin
Hutton, visited with Mr.. and Mrs.
Hutton and family over the week end.
Mr.. and Mrs Ed Modin and son
Earl were guests to dinner Sunday
o. Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Hutton at the
club house.
Wallace Cannon has become the
Westlake's head irrigator and is 60
ing almost day and night herding the
water in its proper channels. He says
Nothing tires me any worse than
wearing boots in hot weather"
Our good man Friday, Lake Ivie,
is again able to be out and around
after quite spell of stomach disor-
ders.
The ball game restored some faith
in US Sunday even though we lost. We
now can see that the Emmett boys
are trying and when they will do that
there is no limit to the bounds they
may make in the next few games.
Sunday was an ideal day for the game
although the dust storm came almost
too soon in the evening to allow the
finish without some grit getting in the
players eyes. Polar Bars seemed to
be making a hit and scored heavier
than anything else unless it was How
ard Biggs's roofing antics for the
home guards.
The correspondent had COW fresh
en- Saturday and came within an ace
of losing her with milk fever. How
ever, the timely arrival of "Doc"
brought her back from the dark shad-
ows of the valley of death and she
now standeth in quiet contentment
to allow her sucking young his re-
pasts. Doc stated this was the fifth
case within the week of milk fever he
had treated and saved several worse
gone than ours. He sure has mir
aculous power of resurrecting the
dead.
Will Wayman, the Fork truck chas-
er who has been peddling truck into
the Boise basin, returned last week
and is now gone again with, fresh
load He stated that people are sure
grabbing for green stuff up in the
mountains like a drowning man
grasps at a straw. He also states
that one unit of the power plant at the
Written dam is now ready to start
grinding out juice for the mine pumps
in the Basin.
An unusually bright meteorite fell
some where in our community last
Wednesday evening lighting things
for a few brief moments lighter than
day and producing a very queer hiss
ing sound as it fell, followed by low
explosion Emery Rynearson said he
was Just sapping the Jerseys when
he ali of a sudden thought some one
had jumped the fence with their old
fliyver and was headed straight for
the barn throwing the lights full on
the door. The little Cannon boys,
James and Harold, said they thought
it was the devil coming down to get
them. We told them that the devil
would look different from that and
would probably be wearing Sleeps
clothing when he came.
The locust blossoms which have so
adorned the trees in our
the past week or SO are
slowly fading and will soon have
passed into the great eternity of the
past, meantime the busy little honey
bee improves each shining hour ga
thering the nectar, dripping sweet
from their folds Would that we could
keen the fragrance and beauty OF
