Private Dewey served his three years

there is terribly monotonous and he
is overjoyed to get back to the States.

DIDJA EVER READ
"PENROD," FOLKS?

1t is probably Booth Tarkington's
masterpiece, or at least that is oul
unbiased opinion, and it portrays
| boy character in a manner which
causes one to renew his youth. But
when one can SEE this story, with
the freckled- face Wesley Barry starr
ing in the title role, why, that is
our idea of the worlds best bet.
Manager Chris has billed this great
picture for Tuesday and Wednesday
of next week, so that it will not in
terfere with any duck hunting ex-
peditions, and we'll be there. The
Our Gang" comedy which is added
to the program is not needed to give
the folks their moneys worth, but
you'll get it anyway.
But what we really started to
say was that the Weaver Theatre
program for the next week is a pip
pin. That is French for "ne plus
ultra" and means kinda good. On
Thursday and Friday of this week
the big Selznick special, "Quick-
sands, will be shown, and we must
not miss that. 1T contains a story
with wallop, and is supplemented
by that laughing Sunshine laughto-
graph, "The Explorers" Oh, Mabel!
If we wishe dto spread the what
chamacallem we would tell you what
a whale Dustin Farnum is in Buck
ing the Barrier" but it would be
like painting the lily or gliding the
chrysanthemum. He stands at the
top, and when you say that you have
whispered a story. Pathe News and
a comedy are also on the program
for Saturday, Nov. "a.
Then on Sunday, Nov. 25, the
Metro special, Success" is the fea-
ture, supplemented by a scenic and
a comedy.
Folks, it's one grand week at the
Weaver.
No picture was shown at the
Weaver Theatre Tuesday evening, as
the film, "The Shiek," with Rudolph
failed to arrive, and many
people were disappointed. Chris
tells us, however, that he has put in
4 strenuous kick and recorder, and
he picture will be shown in the near
future.

FERRYITES HEAR
"BOY PREACHER"
Go to Gooding and See Healing Ae.
complished - Other Items
from the Ferry

A large number of people from
Glenns Ferry have been making reg
ular trips to Gooding to hear the
boy preacher" and to see the heal
ing accomplished by him at these
meetings. There is nothing new in
this miracle" working mission. All
over the country and in almost every
denomination such missions have
been held and the results have been
wonderful. What a power men could
have if they only believed and had
faith, but like revivals the spell is
only for a time and many who at
tend such meetings as have been held
recently in Gooding after the ex-
citement is over go away and for
get all about it. They forget that in
their own community the same re-
suits could be accomplished if they
were true to the church and its
teachings-if they believed in pray
er and had faith they could move
mountains-so the good Book says.

CLAIMS ASSAULT
WITH WEAPON

Foley Abbott of Featherville came
to Mountain Home Saturday of last
week, and proceeded to swear out
warrant charging Lew Roberts OF
the same locality with using dead
ly weapon on his person.
AS told by Mr. Abbott, the trouble
came through the shooting of 9
horse, which Mr.. Roberts claimed
was performed by Mr.. Abbott Mr..
Abbott states that as he was sitting
at supper on the evening of the 18th,
his home was entered by Mr. Roberts,
his son and brother-in-law, and
while the two latter held rifles on
him, Mr. Roberts struck him several
times over the head with a revolver,
and then forced him to sign a bill of
sale for a good horse to replace the
one which had been injured by a
gunshot wound.
Mr.. Abbott came to Mountain
Home Saturday, swore out the war
rant, and Sheriff Stevens went to
Featherville Monday and brought
Mr.. Roberts to town.
The latter at once gave bond and
his preliminary examination has
been set for Dec. 3.

Lid Clamped on by City
Dads After Complaint
NO PLAYING IN
CIGAR STORES
Owners of Amusement Places May
Test Ruling of Authorities -
Pinoole Players Mourn and
Refuse to be COmforted

If Bill, Tom, Dick Sam, Fritz or
Charley desire to spend social even
ing behind deck of cards in the
future, said diversion will have to
De pulled off in the parlor.
It's sad, but true, mates.
1t is against the statutes made and
provided to play any card game for
money, marbles. hinkeys, chalk or
other valuable considerations, and
he village authorities have decreed
that the law shall be obeyed in the
future.
1t is also against the law to oper-
ate punch board, and these little
gloom dispellers are also on the
black list in Mountain Home.
All of which is in full force and
effect beginning Saturday, Nov. II.
Following complaints that the law
against gambling was being stretched
TO an alarming extent, the city and
county authorities last Saturday
isited numerous places Of business in
Mountain Home and gave the owners
orders TO not permit card games Of
my character in their headquarters,
md ordered the punch boards to be
stored in the cellar.
The owners of the various pool
halls, cigar stores, and other places
hearkened to the request of the Of
icials, and the pinocle players who
we're wont to while away an even
ing with the pasteboards in their
iavorite retreats will now have to
congregate in the parlor If they wish
to carry on"
Some of the business men affected
by the order are talking of testing
The matter in the courts, and trials
in the justice courts are quite likely
to occur in the near future.
1t has been the policy of the au-
thorities in most Of the Idaho cities
not to be too strict in regard to
card games, as they realized that the
spirit of the law was what counted
in the long run, but some OF the
Mountain Home men came to the
conclusion that $40 was a little too
much to bet on one card, and the
closing order followed.

Fred j. Kuntz of Boise Of
fers Proposition
CHICAGO FIRM
WILL AID PLAN
To Erect Packing House, Providing
Two Hundred Acres Can be
Signed Up to Grow Vegetables
-Ranchers Are Interested

Fred ] .Kuntz of Boise has been in
the city for several days this week
seeking to interest some of oui
ranchers in the proposition of grow
ing lettuce and other vegetables, and
from what some of them are saying
his words have caused them to think
favorably of the plan.
Mr.. Kuntz has been in communica-
tion with the firm of Piowathy,
Claussen & Co., a Chicago commits
sion house, in regard to securing
signed acreage, and this house has
signified its willingness to erect a
packing house here if two hundred
acres can be secured.
The firm will also furnish crates,
and advance money for thinning the
lettuce.
This concern advises the rancher
to diversity his crop to a certain ex-
tent with onions, cauliflower, and
the Like, as this produce finds a
ready market.
Mr.. Kuntz will be pleased to hear
from any of our ranchers who are
interested in this proposition. let
ter addressed to him at Boise, r. f.
d. No. 1, will reach him.
Mr.. Kuntz states that many farm
ers are laboring under the belief
that lettuce growing is strictly hand
labor, when as a matter of fact the
cultivation may be done by horse
power. The thinning of the plant,
however, has to be done at GER
tain period, and requires quick work.
Another objection which has been
raised to the lettuce growing plan
has been the lack of sufficient water.
Mr.. Kuntz says that a man who
owns forty acres with but two acre
foot water right could put all of his
water on twenty acres and make
more honest-to-goodness money than
he could by growing eighty acres
Of alfalfa.
The Republican believes that our
peple should give this matter serious
and at future date
hold meeting to discuss the plan.
