Boomer" is still alive and well
Boomer is dog, just plain dog, and {
real character in Glenns Ferry. Fol
years he has been on our streets and
no one seems to know where he came
from or has the heart to kill him
When licenses become due someone
always takes up a collection to pay
his tax. 1t is said that he has been
taken away from Glenns Ferry many
times but always returns. He can
be seen any day when the trains ar

for regularly as clock-work he makes
his way to the platform when it ar
rives, seeks out the dining car and
if no one pays any attention to him
he howls his fool head off until they
do. For years he has obtained his
breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper in
this way. The chefs on the diner
seldom fail to respond when he calls.
Boomer is getting old and feeble now
and it is with an effort that he gets
across the street to meet his train in
these days, but nevertheless he gets
there. Curiously, he does not bother
to go to trains that have no diner at

GIVE THANKS

Again we come to the season Of fruition, when
Nature has finished her labors in our behalf and
given us bountfully of her largess. Perhaps there
are some in this favored land who believe that they
have little to be thankful for this year. but we
believe that true inventory will reveal to them
that this is not true. There are no hungry and
under -nourished children in the Mountain Home
locality. As we see them, warmly clad with laugh
ing faces and rosy cheeks, brimming with vitality
to their very finger-tips, romping their way to
school, we can not but feel thankful to the great
God of the universe that this is so, and that we
are spared the misery and anguish with which
other localities are afflicted at this time If we
need comparisons to excite feeling of thankful
ness, we have but to contemplate the unfortunate
conditions which now obtain in the lands across
the sea, where misery and want stalk in all their
frightfulness and the youth of the land cry aloud
for food
Here we have peace and plenty and are en-
joying wonderful favors from the divine Provi
dence
So on this Thanksgiving Day, not because our
President and Governor have so decreed, but be-
cause we truly appreciate our many blessings
let us thank the great Architect for his benefoence
to us as individuals and as a Nation.

HOW ABOUT BEANS
AS A PRODUCT?
Commodity Now One of Twin Falls
Best Crops, And Is Netting
the Rancher Good Money

The growing of beans is now one
of the principal items of the Twin
Falls country, and inasmuch as the
climatic conditions of that locality
are similar to the Mountain Home
section, there is no doubt that they
could be made highly profitable. We
note the following from the Boise
Statesman of last Thursday:
Beans have brought prosperity TO
Twin Falls farmers and business
men, from the midst Of a hopeless
outlook" said C. p Bowles, who was
registered at the owyhee Wednesday.
In four short years the production
Of the Great Northern bean, our
standard variety, has grown from
one small carload to the point where
the Southern Idaho Bean Growers
association, handling about half the
crop, will alone ship 100000
pounds. Five million pounds have
already been shipped.
"The agricultural depression so
evident through our section four
years ago has vanished. The bean,
selling at a price which will net the
farmer 5 to "a cents a pound, has
proved a money maker.
"The Great Northern bean, adapt
able only to a small area in Montana
and the Twin Falls country, sells for
more +, o. b. Twin Falls than hand
picked Michigan beans do in Chicago.
beans do not worry us, for
the Great Northern is superior in
quality and flavor to any of the for
eign vegetables.
Farmers on the Twin Falls tract
will average 24OO pounds to the acre,
with the maximum known produc-
tion $500 pounds.
"The seed OF this variety was dis
covered during the war in Montana,
and few seeds were sent to the
.ract four years ago. That first year
we raised IS to 20 tons, and the pro-
iuction has gained steadily ever
iince."

Operate on ]. Faubion

]. Faubion, who was injured two
weeks ago by the wheel of the wag-
on which he was driving passing
over his shoulder when he fell from
the seat owing to the wheel sink
ing in an old disused cess-pool in
the rear of the Pioneer Meat Mraket,
was operated on last week in St.
Lukes hospital, his shoulder being
fractured in two or three places.
He is reported to be getting along
as we'll as can be expected. It is
thought by his physician that he will
lose the use of his arm almost en-
tirely. Mrs. Faubion, who has been
with him since the time of the acct
dent, returned home Sunday.

IT WAS A CALF

In "Alice in Wonderland, which
all of us have read, the mock turtle
sang a sad lullaby. Bill Seward, who
believes in doing things up right
in collusion with Roy White, at
tempted to fix up and foist upon Tom
and Fred a mock deer. which they
had made up out of maverick calf
and a pair of four-point horns which
they had doubtless swiped from some
taxidermist shop. But owing to the
fact that anything these boys tell
you is a good bet to copper, the joke
remains where it belongs.

WILL WE HAVE A
COMMUNITY TREE

Last year our wide-awake Civic
Club sponsored this enjoyable event,
which was pulled of without
hitch, and the Republican has re-
ceiyed many inquiries as to whether
or not this feature was to be contin-
ued this year. We do not know,
but of one thing we are sure-The
Republican is back of the idea with
what influence It has, together with
its contribution.
Later - Since the foregoing was
put in type we learn that the matter
of community Christmas program
was taken up by the Civic Club at
their Tuesday meeting, and this en-
joyable affair will be given as usual.
Owing to the economic manner in
which last years program was
handled, there is sufficient money in
the fund to put this on without fur
ther assessments.
