To the Editor OF
the Payette Enterprise.

To the Editor of
{ the Payette Enterprise.
/ Dear Mr.. Wells:-
{ | have always been willing to sit
back and do the reading and let the
other fellow do the writing but after
! reading the letter written by Mary
{ Hill that was published in your es-
+ teemed paper of October 18th, 1928
under the w. C. T. U. notes my sense
! OF rair play forces me 10 comment
/ upon what Mary Hill has to say
about wine drinking in France and
/ ask you as a favor to give this
article the same prominence in your
valuable paper as the article in
question.
I realize I am going up against q
hard proposition viz: upholding wine
drinking in community that is
prejudiced against its use but here
goes. During the several years thai
have spent in France and her colon
les | have had an opportunity to mix
with several classes of French peo-
pie and l must say that l have yet
to see the first French mother giving
wine to her baby or to see child go
ing to school half drunken with wine
given to it by its mother or anyone
else
The first of last week a class OF
over so French kids came down to
see my American Apiary of Ameri-
can honey bees just after eating din
ner and l didn't notice a single one
showing intoxication.
Mary Hill is mighty young and
81, II II
thinks that she is going as a mis-
sionary to India when in reality she
has accepted to work for the Grab
bing British Empire" and to help
do their dirty work for them. 1
can't understand why an American
girl win go to India ana try to force
her religion down the throats of the
natives who have religion of their
own possibly just as good as hers)
and they are satified with what they
have. She will possibly succeed in
teaching a dozen or so of them her
language sufficient for an English
man to sell them cigarettes made in
England or possibly little Scotch
Rye.
She committed much worse
crime and she was, more intoxicated
on reform" when she wrote that
letter than the people sitting under
the awning in front of cafe in,
Marseilles that were intoxicated on
wine. l can only hope that the next
time she writes to Payette that she
will cut out general criticism and
give specific examples. Any Ameri-
can knows as well as I do that you
have corrupt cities in every land and
that Marseilles has a world wide rep
utation for being rotten and that il
is not just to compare the whole of
France with Marseilles or Brest, an
other seaport town for example.
To the women of the w. c. T. U.
at Payette, Idaho. / realize that re
form" of some kind is all the rage
with the American Women at the
present time but remember that
there is big difference between re-
form and spreading bosch propa-
ganda" and La France and our own
American government is in need of
your entire support just at this par
ticular time.
Yours for Fair Play,
ROSS |. McCLANAHAN.

POULTRY EXPERTS
ADDRESS CHAMBER

Due to many other attractions the
attendance at the Chamber of Com
merce Friday evening was rather
slim, but those who did attend
were deeply interested in the talk
given by Prem Moore of Boise, state
Poultry Expert, and Archie Larson
of Weiser, a practical and successful
poultry raiser.
The facts and figures given by
these men were very convincing that
the poultry business and particularly
the production of eggs is an indus
try that will restore prosperity to
southern Idaho quicker and with
more certainty than any other enter
prise Mr.. Larson sent home good
argument when he compared the hen
with the apple tree and produced
figures to show that a hen will bring
more net returns than the tree, but
stated further that the two made a
fine com bina ton. His statement OF
the possibilities of the Snake River
Valley as an egg producing section
from conservative comparisons with
other egg producing sections would
run into many million dollars. Both
ative marketing organization and re-
ferred to the Farmers Cooperative
Creamery Company as an example OF
cooperation, stating that the poultry
industry should be handled along
the same line and with equal sue
cess in net profits.
Go back to few years before the
Farmers Cooperative Creamery Co.
and we find the owner of few cows
struggling to make both ends meet
and to find a cash market for his but
ter. today the industry through the
Cooperation and volume of business,
has proven to be the home saver. and
by far the most remunerative indus
try of any industry in the communi-
ty, and as a result of success the
dairy business is growing by leaps
and bounds.
The production of eggs should fol-
low that of butter, and can only be
done through a cooperative market
ing organization which will proper
ly grade and permit car lot ship:
ments to the large marketing cen
ters Every orchardist in the Pay
ette valley as well as the man in
the dairy business should keep on
his place from zoo to 500 laying
hens and give them the proper at
tention and join the organization.
Quite a number of the poultrymen
of this locality have belonged to the
Pacific Poultry Producers Associa-
tion for the past two years with local
headquarters at Caldwell shipping
As cars of eggs this year but from
various reasons new organization
separate from the Pacific 1
to be known as the |
Idaho-Oregon Egg Producers Asso-
citation is now under way, and it |
seems altogether advisable for the
of southwestern Idaho |
and eastern oregon to become mem
bers of the new organization. This
was one of the principal topics for
iiscusson Friday evening. Con-
tracts are now in the hands of the
members who are urged to give the
natter consideration before January
lst, when the contract with the Pa
,ific organization expires.

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT
OF MILK ErETE1

One of the unmentioned incidents
in the dairy business occurred at the
dairy of D. W. Ainey this week when
his dairy was attacted by milk fever,
under the treatment of DR.. R. B.
Hurd, a complete recovery was
made. The Editor can also recall
an incident a few years ago when
the Doctor restored a COW at his
place, afflicted with the same trou-
BILE, so far advanced the eyeballs
were set and the COW considered as
good as dead.

A gentlemen from a nearby town
was walking down 1st Avenue South
with a Payette resident one after
noon last week when they heard
sounds of much merriment emerging
from a prosperous looking home and
such exclamations as,
Mary Josephine, please don't eat
all the salad.
Now Henry do hurry and serve
the ice cream" and
please let me talk part of the
time Kate, etc.
The stranger inquired if they were
having a High School party, but was
informed it was only the Matrons
Bridge Club having an elaborate
luncheon before closing for the Hol-
idays.

An Old Billiard Drinker.

One of these little migratory stories
that pop up and sometimes travel all
over the country by word of mouth
concerns tenderfoot who, many years
ago, seeing n sign on a little western
saloon which read, soft Drinks and
Billiards." went in and said in his
grutfest tones:
"Gimme Billiard!"
The bartender seeing that the man
really thought billiard was something
to drink, started to make up mixture
of everything he had in the place, in
Guiding the bar polish.
The stranger took the mess, swal-
lowed a mouthful, and turned red in
the face.
Game to the finish, however, he
gulped down the remainder.
"Well, how'd you like thatT asked
the bartender grimly.
Well" replied the tenderfoot, "if l
wasn't an cid billiard drinker I'd say
that was concentrated lye."-Youngs-
town Telegram.

Two Brides by Law.

The Journal des Debats, one Of the
most highly esteemed daily papers Of
France is an authority for stating
that the Turkish national assembly is
SO anxious In regard to the population
of the new Turkey, now in course Of
formation, that 1t is preparing law to
render matrimony duty which, like
compulsory military service, must be
enforced on all.
No conscientious objectors will be
tolerated. When a man reaches the
age Of twenty-five, the police will take
note of him and medical authorities
will examine him. II he is physically
fit, he must marry; If he refuses, he
will be treated as deserter and de-
prived of all his civil rights and en-
poyment.
If he has private means quarter of
the amount will be taken and given to
the poor
Should a recalcitrant husband seek
to avoid his obligations by travelling
he must obtain special permission; and,
If he remains away too long, he must
marry second time and bring his sec
ond wife home when he returns.
Here we have law enforcing not
only matrimony but bigamy, the re-
population Of Turkey being the one and
only social duty recognized.

THINK 1T .IBERIAN LIQUOR
Old Spanish Wine Recently Found In
Ruins Of St. Joseph City,
In Florida.

Buried amid the ruins of forgotten
city for almost century, and appar-
emily kept in state Of almost perfect
ish wine in the curio collection OF
George A. Patton Of Port st. Joe is
gradually evaporating.
The liquor was unearthed from the
ruins Of the old city Of st. Joseph,
Florida, two years ago, when an irrtga-
tion ditch was being dug through the
Patton farm. Then 1t was rich and
mellow and had deep amber hue.
But now Its kick is going fast, accord
ing to the Florida Times-Union.
Although having a reputation as
teetotaler, Mr.. Patton has cherished
the liquor as he would a long-lost
friend. Great care has been exercised
TO prevent its evaporating, but all eff
forts have failed. 1t was poured from
The black glass decanter, In which it
vas unearthed, into bottle of trans
parent glass. The glass stopper in the
original bottle Was substituted with
rubber stopper.
When the bottle was found 1t was
surrounded with mass OF debris
which evidently had been wicker
case. Very little Of the liquor had
found its way out, if any. 1t has been
viewed by thousands of tourists at
Port st. Joe.
Judging from historical facts sur
rounding the old city of st. Joseph, the
liquor probably is one hundred years
old. st. Joseph was abandoned in 1S41,
and for more than eighty years only
the crumbling ruins have marked the
spot where 1t stood. It was the
terminus of the st. Joseph and lola
railroad, second steam railway line
constructed in the United States. In
1888 the first constitutional convention
Of Florida was held at st. Joseph,
which then was one of the leading
cities Of Florida. Recently the state
erected monument costing $15,O 900 on
the spot where the convention was
held.
Curio connoisseurs declare it prob
able that the quart of liquor Of Iberian
vintage adorned the shelf Of some long
gone barroom in the historic old city.

Herds Tested Nowadays.

The record for the largest number
of cattle tested goes to an employees

Takinu Chances,

"One of the most difficult things to
do" said II superintendent of one of
the large office buildings as he finished
reading an account of window clean
er in New York falling from the tenth
floor, as to make employees take or
dinary precautions. We mike It a
rule to discharge window cleaners who
neglect to make use of the life belt
with which each ore is equipped when
working on the outside of the case
ments. Do you know that I am con-
stantly dischargng them for their fall
ure? And our '1Ns are worth having.
Men working Mt high elevations are
cool-headed; familiarity makes them
careless; hooking the llfebelt is too
much trouble, so they take n chance.
This chap who fell did that."-Ex.
