ZINE, speeding on swift wings, brings US once
- more to that season when the hearts of men
are filled to the fullest with the spirit of peace
and good will Our eyes turn again toward the East
just as turned the eyes of the Wise Men hundreds
of years ago when they beheld the star which led
them to the manger in Bethlehem.
Regardless of how we have Jared throughout the
year. we find in our hearts once more that feel
ing of thankfulness and ohildlike simplioity-that
something we have learned to call the christmas
spirit" We forget our suffering for the moment in
effort to send happiness into the hearts of those
we love and respect. We join our hands and cur
smiles with our neghbors in celebrating the season
when hearts are waTmest and mankind little
nearer a common understanding than at any other
time of year. We go back in memory to the days,
long before we "knowed who Santa Claus was, and
individually we joy in the thoughts of the joys Of
childhood. We feel the touch Of time and some Of
us there are who note the sprinkling of silver in
our hair. Yet we approach the Christmas time
with hearts mellowed by the memory of other days,
and we feel again that something men call the
Christmas spirit" that something which puts us
at peace with the world, and makes us hopeful of
the future.
Nowhere in all the world is there nation cap
able of placing greater thanks for return again
to the Christmas season. Nowhere in America will
there be found hearts attuned to the spirit of
the occasion than are now to be found in Mountain
Home and in the community surrounding.
We approach the greatest holiday of all with the
full knowledge that our hearts bear no malice for
our fellowmen We can turn our eyes to the east
ern star and pledge renewed allegiance to our
homes and our institutions. We can for the time
being lay aside earthly cares and join once more
in honoring Him whose birth we celebrate the
one who gave to us our greatest blessing peace and
the good will of our fellowmen.
The publishers take this means to extend the COM
pliments of the to every resident of this COM
munity We hope that the seasons richest bless
ings may be showered on you and yours. We pray
that the full significance of the occasion may be
revealed to you, and that not only will your Christ
mas be a happy one but that all the days that are
to come may find you happy healthy, prosperous
and oontented

To Have Great Time at Tree

Christmas Eve (Monday) the Epis-
ecopSI Sunday school will have their
annual Christmas tree in the Parish
House. Commencing at $50 a fine
program by the children will be Civ
en- as entertainment before Santa
Claus comes. This year he is COM
ing by appointment all the way from
Milwaukee, Wis, via GAINESVILLE,
Wis, where he has gathered up the
finest bunch of presents we ever did
see. Every child that has been
faithful, we are told, will receive a
joyful and useful present, as well as
candy. Wish we belonged to the
Episcopal Sunday school, and we sure
would have coined up" had we
known that Santa Claus was going
to be so generous this year. AS it is
we have to content ourselves with
taking a look at the display reg
;ular miniature toy shop and general
store rolled into one. My! but they
arre sure going to have some time at
thet Christmas tree.

sion on Wednesday of this week held

GLENNS FERRY TEAM
SLAUGHTERED BY CLERKS

The railroaders' basketball team
of Glenns Ferry came up to the cou1r-
ty seat Friday evening of last week
for the purpose of taking revenge on
the Clerks for the beating handed
them at the Ferry the week before.
Tis sad story, mates, and we re-
fuse to tell you what the score was,
or give the horrifying details, but
the slaughter of the railpoaders was
pathetic, the Clerks excelling at
every department of play.

Glenns Ferry.

Saturday Glenns Ferry X. of P
Lodge No. 20 will give the children
of this community one rip-roaring
time at the annual community
Christmas tree. The Goodfellows OF
Glenns Ferry have responded most
generously this year and big time
is in store for every kidlet that wan
ders into the Parish House Saturday
evening. The first part of the pro-
gram will be a picture show, which
will include ''His Majesty the Amer
lean" and "a Duke for a Day"
screams of laughter and lots of fun.
Santa Claus will appear and give to
every child a favor and supply of
candies guaranteed to last for a
month or more, probably more unless
Dad calls the doctor to administer a
good dose of castor oil in time to re-
lieve the after-effect. However,
from information we can gather,
from this live organization, the kids
will be given the best time ever and
the degree work will not be in it
with the good time which the mem
bers of this order are planning to
give to the children of this COM
munity this year. Gee! but we wish
we were married and had a few kid
let's to send to that Christmas tree!

FIRST REAL SNOWFALL

The first honest-to-goodness snow
fall of the year dropped softly Tues
day night, and when morning came
it looked upon about two inches Of
the beautiful covering the earth. Re-
ports from up in the mountains are
that the fall was much heavier than
down on the benches, and the stages
made hard work of travel.

producer the largest amount of rev
enue. He believed that dairy prod.
ucts was the answer to the problem
He stated that Sc cents of the rail
road dollar went for employees wages
alone. Mr.. Gignoux enlivened his
remarks with several anecdotes, and
we can't help repeating one. An
old colOred nanny was called in at
the time of a smallpox epidemic for
vaccination. The doctor asked her
to bare her arm, but she objected,
giving as a reason that she needed
her arms while working on the wash
board. Well, nanny" said the
physician, suppose we vaccinate you
on the leg" "Lawd, man, that won't
do a-tall. l done has to walk aroun'
when | hangs out de clothes, an All
suah needs NAH legs" "Well, mann
my, where will we vaccinate you
them" "Well, doetah, If it dom
make no difference to you-all, All
uOn set down much.
Mr.. Gignoux stated that it was an
utter impossibility for the rancher
to ship alfalfa hay east even as far
as Denver and make a profit. He
said that the interests of the Union
Pacific and the rancher were iden-
tical, and uregd the latter to produce
stuff which could be shipped at a
profit
Mr.. Gignoux was followed by Reid
Murray. He admitted without
whimper that Idaho could produce
butterfat much cheaper than could
his state, Wisconsin. and could not
understand why the ranchers of this
vicinity were not reaping the har-
vest. He was of the opinion that
the production of dairy products was
not keeping pace with the increasing
population, and that there was no
danger of an overproduction. He be-
lieved that one of the best ways for
the rancher to build up his dairy
herd was by the purchase of good
grade heifers, and by keeping good
bulls in service.
All of the speakers urged the ne
cessity of getting good producing cows
on the ranches, saying that a poor
COW required almost as much feed
as a 300-pound producer.
In a general discussion of matters
d. M. Braucht stated that it was use
less to try and do anything in a pro-
ducing line as long as the water sit
uation remained in the condition in
which 1t now was. The ranchers
need more water. Give them that
and they could accomplish some
thing.
o. e. Norell made a short talk in
regard to the bull association, and
told the ranchers that If they did
not get behind the movement that it
would be necessary to sell the bulls
now on hand, for which they owe
about $500, and give up the fight.
At the close of the meeting the men
Interested in the bull association re-
NAMED and talked things over.
1t was a meeting exceedingly
worth while, and the men present
itate that they gained some valuable
pointers in regard to dairying, and
he raising of poultry and hogs.

FALSE ALARM CALLS

Tuesday morning about 8 O'Clock
the fire department was called out to
respond to a fire alarm. The boys
got away quickly, only to find that
their services were not needed. A

call.
