The pastor and his wife gave charm
ing responses and declared that the
parsonage held one particular spot
that the machine would just fit, as
the beloved friends who gave it occu-
pied their hearts. The meeting
closed with few numbers on the
machine and the regular business
meeting for the church and election
of officers ensued.
This event was truly an epoch in
the history of Mountain Home, not
only in it's religious life, but the sec
ular life, when a man who has been
50 great factor in community well
fare passes the quarter century mark
in his work. And it is echoed in
many hearts when we say that we
hope he may be spared us for still
another twenty-five years-for we
all need our Little Minister in the
Church on the Corner"

REV. TOM BL0DGETT is
RECUPERATING IN BOISE

The Rev. Tom Blodgett and wife
left Wednesday on No. 19 for Boise,
where they will remain for couple
of weeks or longer. Mr.. Blodgett
went over for the purpose of taking
chiropractic treatments from DR..
Vermillion, the noted chiropractor
of that city. A card from Tom
Thursday morning stated that he
was feeling fine and would visit the
doctor Thursday morning, and if the
doctor was not feeling any better
he would be tempted to give him a
few adjustments.
Mr.. Blodgett has been in poor
health for the past year, and his
large circle of Mountain Home
friends in and out of the church sim
terely hope that he will return home
feeling fit as a fiddle.

CLERKS LOSE TO
IDAHO COLLEGE

The Mountain Home clerks bas-
ketball team played the College OF
Idaho team at Caldwell last Satur-
day. The game was a fight to a fin
ish all the way through and finally
resulted in a score of 1910 in favor
of the college team. The local team
showed lack of practice, while the
college boys were in first-class con-
dition. However, our boys are not
in the least discouraged and will
meet the same team in the near fu-
ture on the home court and give
them a chance to stand up and take
a beating. The team is getting
down to business and is rounding in
to shape for a real game. Following
is the lineup for the clerks:
Hill Ottenheimer and Osborne Ca
sey, forwards.

WAR IN EUROPE NOW
LOOMS ABOVE HORIZON

French troops are now occupying
portions of Germany, including the
city of Essen, the site of the big
Krupp gun works. The Belgians are
also taking part in the occupation.
That the United States is not in
sympathy with the invasion is indi-
Gated by the fact that American
troops have been ordered home from
the Rhine, with every indication that
the administration purpose is to
emphasize its disapproval of the
French reparations program. It is
expected that the remaining troops
will be back in the United States by
February 5.
The Russian press generally views
Frances action with regard to the
occupation of the Ruhr basin, to-
gether with the breaking up in dis
agreement of the Paris conference of
premiers, as threatening new war.
President Ebert of Germany and
Chancellor cuno have issued a proc
asking the whole nation to
join in a gigantic protest on Sunday.

THE PASSING OF
GRANDMA WELLS
Sterling Character Hearkens to Cal
of the Creator-Friends and
Neighbors Mourn

With the passing of Mrs. Josephine
B. Wells, another of Gilmore eounty's
pioneers has gone to her reward.
She was born at Bari Write, New
Brunswick, Canada, Aug. 8, 1889. As
Josephine B. Goodwin she was mar
ried to william Wells Jan. 15, 1857.
To this union eleven children were
born, six of whom survive her
Mrs. S. G. MacKay of Bellingham,
Wash; Mrs. Rose Ottenheimer, Mrs.
Grace Larson, Mrs. Villa G. Mum
dell; Mrs. May Gragg of Welba, Ida
ho, and Frank Wells of Jordan Val
ley, Oregon, and a number of grand
children.
With her husband and children she
moved from her home in Canada to
Ketchem, Idaho, in 1884, and after
eleven years residence there they
moved to Mountain Home, where she
has since lived. Her husband died
in 1900.
Although past S3 years of age, Mrs
Wells was active and enjoyed her
children and friends. She read the
daily papers and magazines and kept
up with the current topics of the
day, and had a wonderful memory of
past events. She loved company and
was gifted entertainer with
stories of her life.
She lived with her daughter, Mrs.
Villa G. Mundell, at whose home
she passed away Saturday evening,
having been stricken suddenly Satur-
day afternoon, being apparently in
good health in the morning.
Funeral services were held at the
home Monday afternoon, Rev. c. E.

ty sympathizes with the family in
heir sad bereavement.

WHAT THEY THINK
: X X y \ x \ y $3.50

Mr.. Osborn, what, in your opin-
ion, does Mountain Home most need
to make the best of our present re-
sourees?"
This was the question The Repub-
lican shot at Ralph r. Osborn, our
mayor, Monday morning.
Mr.. Osborn gave the question a
.ew moments of thought, then said;
81 presume you mean how can our
community utilize the land and wa
ter which it now has, without regard
to any future development of a sup
ply of water from problematicaI
sources. In my opinion every ranch
should be farmed in manner to OBJ
tain the full product which can be
obtained from it.
But in my mind, the industry
which would prove of lasting benefit
to the community, more than any
other one thing, would be the putting
of good dairy cattle on the farms.
1t is quite true that the raising of
dairy products entails work, and lots
of it, but its results are worth all of
the toll expended in it, and then
some, Any project which will result
in success, however, means work.
"It seems to me that by utilizing
the water supply we now have, sup
plemented by the underground water
supply which ioows so copiously
right at our door, the income from
the ranches now under cultivation
could be doubled in a very short
time"
Now that, accordingly to our inn
mature judgment, is a fine idea.
The Republican would like to hear
from other business men of the city
as to their ideas in the matter. None
of us desires the community to stand
still or go back, but unless we do
in the near future, that is
exactly what will happen. It is time
for the business interests of Noun
tain Home and vicinity to get to-
gether, organize and formulate a
community program. Let us all do
our sincere level best to make the
year in Mountain Home no
table for what we have accomplished,
not for what we hoped to do.

EXCELSIOR CLASS WILL
HOLD CANDY SALE SATURDAY

Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at
the City Meat Market. the Excel sior
Glass of the Congregational Sunday
school will hold a candy sale for the
benefit of the Armenian relief work.
These girls are all experienced in
the art of candy-making, having
proved this by the fact that they
never have enough candy for their
trade, and the excellent cause for
which they give their services should
encourage everyone to help by pat
ronizing their sale.
