the thirty-five towns and villages of
eastern Idaho, to dedicate our new
waterworks, to afford an opportunity
to make a practical study of munich
pal enterprises and the ways to do
them, and to afford an opportunity
to advertise the town and it's re-
sources thru these visiting officials,
thru the press and thru the schools
of the county. The project was con-
sidered and endorsement given on
condition that the city council ap-
proved and co-operated. The coun-
Gil considered and postponed de-
cision until conditions became I'M
favorable and nothing was done
about it.
]. A. STEWART,
Secretary.
A motion was made and adopted
by unanimous vote, expressing the
appreciation of the members for the
good work done by the officers for
the year, it being the more note
worthy and commendable to make
success of the work in such hard
times as 1921 has been, when many
thought it would be best to close UP
the club and not to try to keep II
alive and working.

Care Of Paintings.

The pictures in home are apt to
suffer from the lack Of attention which
IN time detracts from their appearance.
Oh paintings should be lightly cleaned
once a year, being wiped gently with a
very fine sponge or channels leather
wet with clear water. Do not use
soap or any other cleansing substance
In the water. Immediately after spong.
Ing polish the surface lightly with
dry silk handkerchief. Gilt frames
should be busted frequently. A camel's
hair paintbrush is effective for this.
Fly marks can be removed by the use
Of little white Of egg.

idea that maybe they will have them
at some future time when they get
rich, and that those are the folks
who are constantly blocking their
chances to get rich. He says it is
a fact proved to him by long observa-
tion and by unanimous proof, that
the man who eats sour bread and
poorly cooked victuals generally is
man of sour disposition and bad
judgment; the man who sits down
to fine, wholesome meals of milk,
and fruits and vegetables from the
garden, is a man Of sweet temper,
good health, good judgment and on
the way to prosperity. The man who
diversifies his farming builds up his
soil and is seldom bothered with in
sect pests, while those who run to
wheat alone or to sugar beets alone
or to any one product year after
year finds that crop swamped with
insects or disease OF some kind that
spell calamity for him. The man
who insists that hens never pay when
eggs are a good price forgets that
eggs are just as good to eat when
they are cheap as when they are
high, and that IL he takes the right
kind of care of his hens they will
lay most of the year and he will
enjoy the eggs and forget about the
price. He says it is always easier
to 60 into the chicken house after
dark and pick fat hen of OF the
roost than 1t is to chase all over
several farms with gun in his hand
trying to get shot at wild fowl
that may be poor and strong when
he gets it. He spoke Of the city girl
visiting her country friend and on
being offered some honey at the
table, exclaimed, ooh, does your
father keep a beer" And of the city
man and woman on their new farm
going to buy COW, and on being
shown q fine large cow, they said,
"Oh, we don't want such a large cow.
We don't use more than quart of
milk a day and a much smaller COW
will do us just as we'll" He said
the farmer knows q good many
things that are valuable to him that
some people. do not understand, but
that the average farmer does not
know the mining stock game and
the oil stock game and the asbestos
stock game and when he delves into
those things he is out of his element
as much as the city girl who talked |
about the bee, or the city couple who
Judged that a very small COW would
do them just as we'll. He advised |
farmers and stockmen to leave GER
tain classes OF investments strictly |
alone, and having made their study |
of things that run parallel to their |
life work, to have courage to invest |
and operate along those lines
notably, pure seeds, pure breeds,
rich soils and tools, implements and
buildings to give them clear
sailing to success in their line.

viously.
She smilingly refused to define the
complications"
It was a singular coincidence. at
least. that the day Mccormick made
the announcement that his wedding
day had been postponed until Sep
TENDER. that Barry Baxter died in
New York City.
Early in April Baxter. who was an
actor. was injured on the stage in
Chicago. In the farce in which he
was playing. the action OF the play
compelled him 10 fall from a couch
10 the floor. One night an iron nut
had been carelessly left on the stage
floor and when the carpet was
placed. was not noticed. Baxter
in his fall. hit his head on the nut
He was taken TO a hospital and an
operation performed. He was dis
charged as presumably cured. When
he reached New York. however. he
had a relapse and was taken TO a
private hospital. There he died on
May e7. the same day the new post
ponement OF the Baker-McCormick
wedding was announced here IN
Paris. Few but intimate friends OF
Baxter knew OF his condition.
Miss Baker and Barry Baxter were
friends. Associates limited at
closer feeling than mere friendship.

sleuthlng newspapermen discovered
that Mary was not at the Normandy
chateau nor was she expected there
whereupon de jane smilingly ad-
mitted Miss Mary had again
changed her plans"
Reporters combed Paris without
success. Finally Miss Mary's trail was
picked up through a casual tip. She
was found at two o'clock in the
morning at the gay and smart Maui
rice dance club Two men were with
her-but not Mccormick. Mary and
her escorts fed when they perceived
observers.
Next day Miss Baker and McCor-
mick and a third party-Harry
ChaDnon. of Chicago-went to the
fashionable Longchamps races but
evaded reporters.
Meantime there were rumors re-
garding the role of Channon in the
little three some.
Channon laughed and said: mo. 1
don't intend to marry Miss Baker. I
know both of them"
Channon was staying at the same
hotel with Mccormick and few TO
Paris with him.
At last Mccormick consented to
talk" but instead of clarifying the
question of who will Mary marry
and wheD?" the patient fiance only
added TO the confusion.
His Lips Sealed.
Nothing is decided" he said.
And I can't talk because Miss
Bakers mother has forbidden IL.
My lips are sealed. 1 promised Mrs.
Baker l wouldn't talk"
On the following day Miss Mary
and Mccormick were found at the
chic afternoon tea-dance at Cla-
ridges. Even on the dance floor.
Miss Mary revealed that she main
tained her sturdy American indie
pendence and refused to bow even
10 the dictates OF Paris fashions.
She wore an ultra-short afternoon
gown-a good twelve inches shorter
than the stern fiat OF Paris dress
makers prescribe this spring.

yet decided" Miss Mary said be-

When asked the why OF the latest

groom answered:
"oh. everything is all right be-
tween us.

Colony, has become rather dizzy
keeping its neck strained for the
rapid changes and isn't real sure Il

long in what is called society, both
here and in Chicago and London.
