She had bought three dozen little
roses. Alice took them and began to
arrange them in vases, keeping the
stems separated as far as possible so
that the clumps would look larger.
She put half a dozen in each of three
vases in the ''living-roOm, placing
one at each end Of the mantelpiece.
Then she took the rest Of the roses
to the dining-rOom. but she postponed
the arrangement Of them until the
table should be set, just before dinner.
She was thoughtful, planning to dry
the stems and lay them on the table
cloth like a vine Of roses running in a
delicate design, if she found that the
dozen and a half she had left were
erougl FIR that. If they weresl't she
would arrange them in a vase.
She looked a long time at the little
roses in the basin Of water, where
she had put them; then she sighed,
and went away to heavier tasks,
while her mother worked in the
kitchen with AIalena. Alice busted
the living room" and the dining
room vigorously. though all the time
with a look that grew more and
more pensive; and having busted
everything, she wiped the furniture;
rubbed It hard. After that, she
washed the floors and the woodwork.
Emerging from the kitchen at
noon, Mrs. Adams found her daugh-

the bases of the columns between the
hall and the living room"

These were: Edwin C. Kirby and
daughter, Verna, of Woodbury.; Emily

town, and DR.. Bassett Kirby, of Wood
bury. George H. and Sara B. Kirby,

Mrs. Bassett Kirby, Mr.. and Mrs. Will
bert j. Moore and three children, Le-

Miss Martha X. Lippincott, Mr.. Harry
Edward Fruend, uncle of Mrs. Amos
B. Kirby, whose guest he is, and the
hospitable host and hostess, Frank
and Frances Petit and charming little
daughter, Elizabeth Ann.
The tables were beautifully ladened
with the Thanksgiving feast of roast
turkeys and everything good to go with
them, and beautifed with handsome
bouquets of chrysanthemums, and
when the large and happy family had
found their place cards and were seat
ed, and the sincere and touching
prayer of Thanksgiving had been
offered by the host, then there flowed
that united spirit of good fellowship
renewed and ripened by forty years
observance. Absent ones whom we
would have present were missed, but
it was full happy day. May there
be many returns of the same even
though the original group grows
smaller and smaller.

FEDERATION MEMBERSHIP
DRIVE IN SALEM COUNTY

Starting Monday morning solicitors
from the State Farm Bureau Fedora
ton will visit farmers in this county
to solicit another three years member
ship to the Salem County Board of
Agriculture and Farm Bureau Feder-
alton.
1t would take several columns to
enumerate the many things the Farm
Federation has accomplished in the
last three years. One or two of the
outstanding achievements are, first,
killing the Nolan-Land Tax bill. This
proposition would have cost every
farmer $50 in the last three years had
it been passed.
Another achievement of great value
to the farmer of Salem County was
killing the tariff on potash imported
into the country. The tariff proposed
would have made every ton of 4-8-6
fertilizer cost So more because of the
excess cost of potash. This extra cost
would have of course been saddled
onto the farmer. Amy man can figure
how much this thing alone has saved
him on his fertilizer the past two
years.
Within Salem County the funds OBJ
tanned three years ago have been used
for various agricultural improvement
work. The most valuable piece of
work is the free poultry culling and
seed potato roguing service given to
our farmers last summer by our Sa-
lem County Board of Agriculture.
Excellent speakers on farm topics
are brought to our meetings thru
funds retained in the county.

RATE PROPOSAL F..
WAS REJECTED
Commission Declines to
Accept Schedule
Proposed

Last " ednesday evening, when the
Idaho public utilities commission.
placed the valuation oi the Idaho
Power company at Slo. l2.SOS.S1, the
commission denied fatty the power
company's proposed rate tariff. In
the interest at,endan, upon the valua-
ton statement. the other phase OF the
decision was overlooked. Monday. the
commission clarified the atmosphere
with this formal statement. sent out
from Governor Moorc's office;
The decision OF the utilities COM
mission issued December ~. 1923. in
the Idaho Power company case, the
public utilities commission iinds that
the Idaho Power company has failed
to justify its proposed schedule OF
rates and that the rates named therein
as a whole are excessive and unreason-
able and the application Tor the same
to become effective is denied and that
tariff No. 7 is hereby permanently
suspended and rejected
1T further finds that rates now
in effect are discriminatory and the
company is ordered to file tariffs. rules
and regulations within 80 days from
date OF this order. provided rates
which would return revenues not IN
excess OF the revenues found reason
able in the order.
THE difference between what the
company is earning and what the COM
pany should earn is a little more than
$4,000 per annum.

TRACTION CASE
IS READY To CD
TO WASHINGTON
Formal Complaint Will
Be Filed at Once Ask
ing Freight Differen-

Formal complaint. to be filed with
the interstate commerce commission.
seeking absorption OF Caldwell Trac-
ton company freight diiferentials by
other railroads, is in readiness. Sig
natures of some half dozen producers
in the Caldwell Traction company ter
ritory will complete the complaint
which names the traction company
and every other railroad in the United
States as defendenis
This complaint has been drafted
under directions OF the Caldwell Com
mercial club following a request from
producers in the Caldwell Traction
company territory that some such ac-
ton be taken to relieve them OF the
freight charges over the traction line
incidentally. while the Caldwell Trac-
ton company is named as defendent.
the company is anxious that the ac-
ton be pressed because it will aid
the line materially in meeting truck
competition. at present taking large
portion OF its business.
The complaint will be turned over
to the Idaho public utilities commits
sion with a request that that body
act as intervenor in the suit. Verbal
assurance has already benn given the
Commercial club that the Idaho COM
mission would ssist in pressing the
action.
Every railroad in the United States
will be served with a copy OF the COM
plant. Considerable time will elapse
before the case can be given hear
ing and II is not known whether a
ruling can be obtained early enough
to become effective for the mex, crop
moving season.
The complaint points out that rates
now charged by the Traction compa-
ny are discriminatory and excessive
due to the fact that It's charges are not
absorbed by other roads The Cald-
well Traction is unique in this dis
trict in that it alone collects freight
charges for its services.
