Benjamin Franklin.

Tuesday the people OF America OBJ
serve in various cities the anniver-
sarg of the birth of the seventeenth
child of candlemaker.
The parent who thinks his Off
spring hampered by the poverty
which he seems unable to escape
will take heart today. The youth
who holds in his breast grudge
against the unkind fate that failed
to supply him with what he sup
poses to be the foundations Of sue
cess will see things in new light.
To Benjamin Franklin contact
with tn eminds of numerous brothers
and sisters all through youth meant
development of mental capacity,
ability to think in terms OF other
minds, to argue things out amicably.
And to Benjamin Franklin poverty
and obstacles made keener the edge
of ambition and stronger the will.
1t is doubtful If Benjamin Frank
lin could have been produced under
any other circumstances. He had
the greatest advantages, whereas we,
in our ignorance, would say he had
none.
Observing the birthday of this ia
nous diplomatist, statesman and
philosopher, we aNe reminded that
usefulness does not depend upon the
things we call advantages. The
climber OF mountains always has
stronger legs than has the man who
is permitted to idle in the valley.
We admire Benjamin Franklin be-
cause he was on eof the common peo-
ple--and most of us feel kinshir
there. Young men admire him be-
cause he attained his first greatness
at very early age; 1t was at rs he
began to publish his Poor Richard Z
Almanack; that fact should spul
young men to greater faith in theiI
works. Newspaper men think well
of Franklin; he was simple and
honest journalist, and there is nj
better kind of journalist than that.
| Franklin was not exactly politi
clan, but he was much In politics
His peculiar abilities fitted him fol
| public place, and Offices were forever
seking him. He could never ute ge
away from public life, but he dit
not SEX it except to please hi
| friends.
A strong, strange man was he
daring to confess his sins publicity
willing to fight for simple code o.
morals hammered out of adversities
stern logician, a sticker for govern
mental rectitude His philosoph.
ranks next to the Bible in the esti
mation of many an American to thi
day. To say that is both to charac
terize Franklin and America.
Last Thursday evening the Re
bekahs held their regular meeting
and installed the officers for the en-
suing term. Mrs Esther Mas
was the outgoing Noble Grand, an
Mrs. Laura Vance the incoming Mrt
Mast has served term of vice gran
and noble grand without being ali
sent. She has been efficient, promp
punctual and fair in all her dealing
From the tact that she lives quite
( distance in the country, and walk
hin to the meetings, in all kinds {
s weather is much to her credit as
faithful and loyal member.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
LOSES TWO GAMES
ON Week end TRIP

Friday noon the high school bas-
ket ball team and their coach Mr..
Simon went to Boise and played the
high school team in the evening.
The Boise high school band furnished
music for the evening. About 700
interested spectators made up the
audience and rooted and cheered for
the boys.
The five regulars, John Sethen,
center; John Hutchinson and Arthur
Tye, forwards; Orlando Mast and
Vyrden Collins, guards; played
through the entire game. At the
end of the first half the score stood
to 22 in favor of Boise and at the
close of the game 4S to 19. Arthur
Tye and Orlando Mast were the star
players of the home team, Art maxi
ing points and Orlando 6, John
Sethen 3, and John Hutchinson 3.
After the game the boys decided
they would like to have swim, and
headed for the Nat. But upon their
arrival learned that the force were
ready to close up, and so they had
to return to town without the swim.
Saturday afternoon the boys went
to Meridian. Upon arrival they
thought the town was deserted. Not
soul in sight. They all wandt red
around awhile and finally succeeded
in locating the school building, and
went in and practiced signals for
the remainder of the time.
In the evening about "a people
showed up to watch the game, The
first half of the game the score
stood 13 to Is in favor of Mountain
Home, and the last half 81 to 20 in
favor OF Meridian. The five regulars
played until the last eight minutes
when Ed. Darlington and Milton
Tyler took the place of Vyrden Col
Inns and John Hutchinson.
The Meridian gym is a mere ex-
cuse, cement wall on one side and
a wire fence on the other three, and
only about Is to 20 feet wide. The
boys came home battle SCARED, and
one or two limping, from coming in
contact with the cement wall and
skinned up about the arms and body
from the wire fences, and one or two
black eyes. They spent the remand
er of the time loafing around Nam
pa.

Surprises Minister and Wife.


There are surprises that are real
surprises and there are surprises
that just seem like surprises, bul
Wednesday night at the Methodist
parsonage there occurred one of the
real surprises.
Sixty members and friends of the
church with tingling ears, braved
the below zero weather and swarmed
into the pastoral residence OF Rev.
and Mrs. Tom Blodgett with well
filled baskets and arms full of birth
day presents.
Now the secret is out, the minister
and his wife both had birthday
this week and for good measure
their wedding anniversary came in
the same week, and their good friends
and neighbors wanted to make merry
in honor of this triple event.
Rev. and Mrs. Blodgett came to
serve the Methodist Episcopal church
in Mountain Home after the annual
conference held at Twin Falls the
first of last September, and the great
increase both in church attendance
and organization of club activities
among the young people OF the city
are part of the results of their ac-
tivities.
The presentation speech was made
by DR.. o. P. Hamilton and responded
to by Rev, Blodgett with consider
able feeling on behalf of his wife
and himself.
A mountain cake made by Mrs.
Fred Pillner was among the more
conspicous marvels OF pastry and
Mrs. Rich Thompson borefit aloft
lighted with as many tiny candles as
the good minister and his wife were
years old and with the rooms In tenn
porary darkness, it made a beautiful
spectacle.
There were enough good eats for
twice the number present and there
was not an idle minute during the
entire evening.
A number of stunts were pulled off
which, were greatly enjoyed and 0.
E. Cannon demonstrated to the
crowd that he is there when it comes
to putting a pillow in a pillow case
in record time.
Among the numerous, perhaps the
most beautiful was large oil paint
ing done by Mr.. S. P Fairchiids
who though past seventy years OF
age, does great deal OF artistic
work in oils
The older folks were evidently
reminded by Jack Frost of theil
more youthful days and gave F. H
Barrett three cheers in appreciation
of his furnishing his mammoth
trucks for the young peoples clubs
for skating parties.
There were enough eats for fal
more ravenous crowd and no on
seemed to want to put the soft ped
die on this part of the program.
The happy throng were unnlindfu
of the fact that the frosty imps out
side were playing havoc with thu
thermometer and not until the birth
y day said good morning to the nev
day did the party show any signs Q
disbanding.
While wraps were being warme'
the crowd joined In singing to tn
tune Of America the following vers
spontaneously improvised by Mrs. 7
A. Collins for the minister and hi
wife as the parting good night of tn
friends and we'll wishers
birthdays will e'er appear,

May paths be ever bright,
