Lawyer Taylor, all of Mountain
Home, attended the sale Of the eau
die cattle under foreclosure at the
T-ranch last Saturday afternoon.
Gaines and Weaver are directors OF
the reorganized First National bank

whose claim the sale was ordered,

wiser All returned home in the af-
ternoon.
Lawrence Belts, formerly en-
gagged in the cattle industry in Owy-
hee county, but who sold out in
1920, was a Bruneau visitor Fri
day and Saturday last. He was
We@ring his right arm in a sling,
the small bone in the forepart of
which had been fractured by the
kick of an unframed Ford which he
tried to crank a few days prior while
at Glenns Ferry. While here
Lawrence was a guest at the Will
Turner home. He returned to Boise
Saturday evening.
Bessie Black, Professor Hays,
Harold Pascoe and Forrest Wilson
went to Mountain Home and return
Monday night-went to the railroad
hamlet with Jess McMillin and re-
turned with him as far as Snake
river bridge and little to the right,
where they had to beach Jesse's
liner and hoof it home, arriving
about midnight. A break in the
dingbat of the cadorance and a short
of the chortle plug in the pillypo-
doddle brought the machine to
standstill, of course. SO they leg
ged it. McMillin went after his
Ford Tuesday morning with pillow
horses for motive power and moored
the old boat in Bruneau about 8
o'clock. And all had a splendid"
time.

AS the spring days begin to peer
around the corner, our fancy begins
to turn to sandwiches and green
things. Few teas and receptions
are without sandwiches, and as sand
witches constitute one of the most re-
liable sandbys of the hostess, here
are a few suggestions:
Eggs, hard boiled and minced
fine, mixed with chopped stuffed
olives and mayonnaise and spread
between thin slices of white bread
and butter.
Minced chicken and minced sweet
pepper, mixed with thick mayon-
naise, and spread between buttered
slices Of white bread
Boiled halibut shredded fine,
mixed with mayonnaise and a few
chopped capers, spread between
white bread and butter
Sardines pounded to paste, moist
ened with lemon Juice and spread
on brown bread, topped with a crisp
piece of lettuce and another slice of
brown bread buttered
Cream cheese, moistened with
sweet cream until IL is Of the con-
sistency of paste, spread on white
bread and butter; then spread with
teaspoonful of currant jelly and a
few drops of maple sugar, topped
with another slice of bread and but
