FIRST NUMBER
PLEASES AUDIENCE

If the first number on the Ellison
White program given under the big
tent Wednesday evening is a sample
of the weeks entertainment, there
will be no disappointment among the
patrons who have purchased season
tickets. The play, Turn to the
Right" was splendidly put on by
these young people, who are all
artists on the stage, like all Chau-
tauqua entertainments, there was
lesson in this play worth while.
The people who are missing Chau-
tauqua are going to miss a real
treat and an opportunity of gaining
a lot of valuable information. Chau-
tauqua bring to the community
varied program selected from the
talent the country affords and
through their plan Of operation, by
the purchase of season tickets, each
and every number on the program
may be seen at less than one-fourth

tertainments of high standard

COW DAY IS
BIG SUCCESS

The Union Pacific special train ar
rived in Payette, Saturday at l.
A. NJ, and remained during thu
! three hours as scheduled for th'
time here.
l. The full car of fine dairy cattle
was unloaded and were led to the
+ Central school grounds where they
were admired by many interested in
>the dairy business While these
cattle composed of five different
breeds were all fine individuals, Pay
cite County can exhibit at the present
time just as fine thoroughbreds as
those accompanying this train.
There was much interest shown by
the people of this community. large
crowd was in attendance and all were
eager to gain any information to be
gathered from the dairy experts, who
spoke on the subject.
The dairy farm is subject that
would justify more space than can
be given in a weekly paper but
few important remarks by some OF
these dairy experts is certainly en-
couraging to the prospective dairy
man and those now engaged in the
business.
II should say that it costs between
one-third to one-half less to produce
butterfat in Idaho than in the middle
west said Mr.. Baird of the Wauke-
sha County Holstein Breeders Asso-
citation.
Your cheap food insures your
success in the dairy business in Ida
ho" said William Bloecher, Agri-
cultural Editor of Wisconsin
Journal. THE Dairy Cow, he said.
will bring permanent prosperity to
Idaho"
Many flattering remarks were
made by these men of experience
relative to Idaho's future dairy
industry.
About 400 people were present and
systematically served with ice cream
coffee and sandwiches by the Farm
ers' Cooperative Creamery Co. and
the Payette Cooperative Store, as
sisted by the Girl Scouts.
The dairy special pulled out on
schedule time accompanied by ]. R.
Brown, who was in charge of the
program while in Payette.

HERBERT j. DAVIS
ELECTED SECRETARY

At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Payette Chamber of
Commerce, Friday evening, Herbert
j. Davis was elected to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of
B. R. Fitch, field secretary and also
the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of B. F. McCarroll. correspond
ing secretary. Mr.. Davis is a very
capable man, and if given the sup-
port of the members of the chamber
the work OF the organization will he
continued with success. The resiena-
tion of Mr.. Fitch and Mr.. McCarroll
was due to the fact their own busi-
ness demanded their undivided at
tention and not being able to give
the necessary time to the work of
the club. Mr.. McCarroll as recording
secretary. has been exceptionally
faithful and has kept all records of
the club in excellent condition.
Mr.. Fitch in serving the chamber
of commerce as field secretary or
general utility man has rendered the
people OF this community a most VAL
liable service, his ability as a COM
munity builder and real rustler is
absolutely unqueationed, Burt has
a mack of using the proper diplomacy
when called upon to perform a diff
cult task, seldom failing in his efforts
to accomplish what he goes after.
He has the natural ability to meet
strangers and make them feel well
come to the city of. Payette, and
while his official services with the
chamber of commerce. have ceased
he will still be member of the
organization and continue to boost.

4 TEAMS TIED
8 GAMES TO PLAY

Slipping from the pinnacle tt
fourth place, was the feat accom-
plished by the Payette, ball team
last Sunday, when they were de
feated by Boise in a loose and un-
interesting game played here by a
score of II to s.
Stewart, pitching for Boise, was
hit freely during the early part of the
game, but frightened up in the last
few frames Boise retaliated by
hitting "Chink" just as freely and in
the eighth he vacated the mound in
favor of Shake, who pitched the re-
mainder of the game very credit
ably, allowing only one hit
From all appearances it seemed to
be an off day for everybody on the
Payette team, with the exception of
Perry. A return of the form dis
played in the early part of the season
by Payette would indeed be welcome
and is necessary if Payette is to be
among those present at the end of
the season. With only three games
left in the schedule, Sundays game
with Parma at Payete will decide
whether we are going up with the
contenders or down to oblivion with
Ontario What do you say?

FIRE DEPARTMENT
DOES GOOD WORK

We have heretofore given the re-
port of quick time made by the Pay
cite fire department, as witnessed by
others, but last Tuesday we held the
watch. Just so seconds after the
sirene started, the chemical engine
passed the bank corner, three blocks
from the station with six firemen
aboard on their way to the fire at
Jessie Ball place, west of the race
track. A hay stack was set fire by
Mr.. Balls little boy which was
destroyed together with small
shed, but the barn within few feet
was saved. Is a volunteer fire de-
partment like we have in Payette
worth the paltry sum they receive
for their services.
