REBEKAH MASK
A GREAT SUCCESS

The Halloween mask dance given
by the Rebekahs Friday evening Of
last week in the Standard hall was
one of the most successful events
ever given in Mountain Home.
A large crowd of merrymakers
crowded the dance floor until late
hour and everyone was pleased with
the dance.
The music was furnished by the
Glenns Ferry orchestra, which was
assisted by Lambert Cannon on the
violin and banjo. The harmony and
time were excellent.
The prizes for best costumes were
awarded as follows:
DR.. o. P. Hamilton captured the
gentleman's prize, while Mrs. May
Cramer, in a beautiful Japanese cos
tune, was awarded the lady's prize.

Glenns Ferry.

The past few days have been given
over to Halloween frivolity. A mum
ber of private parties have been en-
joyed. Among the big events was
the party given by the Order of the
Eastern Star, Victory Chapter. This
was an invitation affair given for
Eastern Stars, Masons and their fam
lilies. Gooding sent a large delega-
tion and there were a number OF
other visitors. The party was Civ
en- in the Parish House, over 200 be-
ing present. The main hall and en-
trance were very tastefully decorat-
ed in Halloween colors with a spook
here and there. The center of the
stage had a witch with kettle and
tripod with fire burning, while a
big black cat sat on one of the sticks
of the tripod and large bat hovered
over the kettle. In the center of
the hall a realistic scarecrow amid
corn shocks waved his arms in wild
alarm. At the entrance there was
a large spook with outstretched arms
welcoming those who entered. The
first part of the evening was given
to musical numbers and games.
'Jiggs and Maggie" were present
and gave a number of living cartoons
which concluded with Maggie lam
hasting Jiggs with a rolling pin.
This program ended with march
by a number of those present in
costume, who sang that sweet old
refrain, Eyes, We Have No Bananas"
The procession was headed by an
old time farmer wheeling appro-
pirate products from the farm. The
costumes worn by many attending
the party were unique. Some won-
derful creations were presented.
Prizes were awarded to the two best
costumes, a lady from Gooding in
Scotch costume winning the prizes
for the ladies, and Brother Magnum
of the Idaho Power Co. for the gen
tlemen. We have no idea what he
was supposed to represent, but he
might have been the Terrible Turk
or some other eastern mogul for all
we know. Attorney Charles Stout
acted as master of the ceremonies
and games. An orchestra provided
music for dancing. The floor at
first was like a piece of sandpaper
owing to the fact that one of the
seeing a can which he con-
cluded contained floor wax distri- |
buted wholesale over the floor. It
was good old Dutch Cleanser, not
floor wax. When the mistake was
discovered wax was applied literally |
and in few minutes the floor was so |
slick that even the ghosts could hard
ly keep their feet. A delightful
luncheon was served in the base
ment. Pumpkin pie galore was the
main dish and everyone did justice
to the feast. The Stars are to be
congratulated upon the successful
event which will long be remembered
by the guests.

HUNTERS
GET THEIR DEER

The many hunters who have been
up in the mountains during the last
two weeks have nearly all been cont

to the effect that this game seems
to be more plentiful than usual.
Some of the hunters have not had
to travel very far for their game,
while others have gone away on trips
asting from ten days to two weeks.

oNothing to Do TilI Tomorrow,,

In spite of the so-called hard times
the o. S. L. r. r. has been doing
roaring business the past few
months, the best in fact for years,
we are told. A railroader's life is
no easy task at the best of times.
There is always danger of loss of limb
or life, and when business is good
he seldom remains at home for more
than eight hours at a time and this
is usually spent in slumber. Sun
shine or rain, blizzard or snow storm,
when the call boy calls, Mr.. Rail
roader must tumble out of bed and
into his working clothes, swallow a
hasty meal and report for duty. The
hour of the day or night make no
difference. When his period of rest
is up and a train is ready to move
he must be moving. When we take
long train journey we often COM
plain of its tediousness and long for
the end, but for the railroader there
is no end; it's an endless, tedious,
nerve-racking job at its best. Day
or night, year in and year out, the
railroader travels to and fro, carry
ng the necessaries of life or human
freight, and mail, always on the
alert, seldom enjoying the comforts
of his home for more than a few
hours at time, and when business
is good like it is today he has no
time unless he takes a lay off for so
cial pleasures such as we who are
not railroaders enjoy. If anyone
thinks that railroading is snap
our advice to them is to go to rail-
oading for awhile and prove for
yourself what a truly snappy job
t is.

She can have both! The eight

They left their home in Cape

travelled by boat to the Isthmus

walked across the isthmus and
