PRICKLY PORKY LOSES HIS CON-
 TENEMENT

 -Prickly Porky.
 In the top of an apple tree in the Old Orchard Priokly Porkv tba DOT. cupine spent the night in perfect contentment. Not single worry en- trea his mind. The buds and the .ender ,er twigs and the bark of the larger branches were very much to ms llKlng' Not far away was Farmer crowns barn under which was quite the incest place In which to sleep known.
 Prlckly Porky had intended to go oAok to the barn at daylight. but he lazy by nature and seldom moven aoout unless he must. He was very comfortable up in that apple tree. and so eontented that he decided to stay Ilsnt there Priokly Porky can sleep m tree quite as well as elsewhere 90 instead of going gack under the parh ne remained right where he was aiu there Farmer Browns Boy dis covered him.
 s Soy was angry through and through. You see the Instant he looked up in that tree he saw the damage that Frickly Porky had done He saw the white wood of the larger branches which Prlckly Porky had stripped of oark' and he saw where Prickly Porky had bitten off the small twigs. A great deal of damage had been done to the trees by the great ice storm, and now to find still more damage. and that done by one whom he had fed when no food was to be found elsewhere, was a httIe too much to bear patiently.
 HI, there, you priokly nuisanceT yelled Farmer Browns Boy, and he threw stick up at Prickly Porky. Get out of thers! have a great mind to get my gun and put an end to you"
 Whz went another stick and struck close to Prickiy Porky. He merely grunted and looked down at Farmer Browns Boy with dull eyes In which only surprise appeared But nc stayed right there. Yes, sir, he stayed right there. He merely whined fretfully. He was sleepy and he didn't like being disturbed. And he couldn't understand why he should be treated so
 Whis came another stick, and an other and another. One of them hit Prickly Perky. Instead of coming down he tried to climb little higher. He didn't understand this two-legged creature yelling at him down below. He didn't understand 1t at all. It was the same one who had fed him while the ice lasted and he couldn't under stand why now he appeared to bN an enemy.
 Now Farmer Browns Boy is very just. Having given way to his anger by throwing sticks at Prickly Porky. and found 1t quite useless, he began to cool down a little. Right then he began to think. And when he did that all his anger vanished. You see, he knew that of course Prickly Porky didn't know that he was in mischief. He knew that to Prickly Porky tree was just tree and therefore food, and that he knew no reason why he shouldn't strip bark from a tree in

ATTRACTING THE
TOURIST

How to get the auto tourist to "car.

discussion at various points. 1t is
felt that more of those who 60 to

if possible, to drive on through Idaho
instead of turning back from the park
or proceeding out of the northern
gate.
The tourist is not wholly an asset
because of the amount he expends in

become residents; and all of them are

NOTHING TO 1T BUT
WIND

FOR the past two weeks there has
been a story circulating in various
forms to the effect that dire and dis
astrOus consequences Of wrong doing
in certain forms were soon to be in
flicted--in other words, not prosecu-
ton but persecution to which all, we
believe, are opposed. The tyrant's
hand has always betn stayed in this
great land of ours, and the reports
would lead one to believe that tyran-
ical procedures were to be followed.
Upon investigation we find, on good
authority, that the tales being told are
in most part made out of whole
CLOTH.
Such stories being circulated not on
ly hurts the business of the town but
they also tend to give the impression
that the people here are addicted to
law breaking. Such is not the case
we rise on our hind 'laigs" and an
nounce to the world that such stories
are groundless and, furthermore, we
are here to back UP the assertion.
We f1atter ourselves that our little
town is as clean as any to be found
in this great broad land of ours to-
day. Some may have a mistaken idea
to the contrary and it should be cor
rected. No. 1--WE 'haint' SO bad
Lots of times the cake is spoiled by
overlooking, the crop is ruined by
over-irrigating, the car is wrecked by
over-speeding-in all these instances
it would have been much better to
let well enough alone.
1t is indeed unfortunate that such
tales going the rounds of Central Ida
no have been circulated and we wish
to again reiterate that they are with
out foundation.
We find law violators wherever we
60 and hughe sums are spent each
year by state, city, county and feder-
al authorities to bring miscreants to
justice.
In some cases they are successful
in the desire to suppress evil and in
others they are not for the reason that
the evil-doer is never caught.
The act of drinking or selling in
toxicating liquors is made unlawfu
by the laws of our land and a great
deal of money is spent every year yc
enforce this law but the traffic In re
eye, moonshine, bootleg, still goer
merrily on-we have the evil witt
us still and we believe we always will.
We believe that there are other and
more disastrous evils existing tooa.
than the liquor evil ever was OF ever
could be and yet there is seldom any.
thing ever done to correct them.
Those circulating the stories of the
past two weeks are directly responsi-
BILE for putting Challis in very unde
sirable light-in fact, It is not only
undesirable, but a ridiculous one as
well.
The devil can always make use of
an idle tongue.
