~ EEPING boarderS IS get
"a ting more dangerous
IA every day. An Illinois
roomer held up his landlord last
week and demanded his money or
his wife. The landlord decided
that he'd rather keep his money.
The boarder and the wife elOped
but the cops caught them. Now
the husband is suing the police
department.
He demands that the officers
pay him $4,000.
The only trouble with having
q boarder steal your wife Is that
he usually brings her back.
He tells you that you'll never
see her again, but you can't de-
pend upon it.
You lose her for a while, but 1t
isn't permanent.
A boarder generally laughs
when he succeeds in eloping with
your mate, but he doesn't laugh
half as hard as you do.
or course, all men aren't lucky.
One guy had to take i'm twenty
seven boarders before he lost his
wife.
The twenty-seventh roomer
eloped with her on a dark night,
but he brought her back as soon
as he saw her In the daylight.
B0arders used to be q great
Joke among humOrists, but they
are no longer . laughing matter.
They don't run away with your
wife now until they owe three or
four weeks rent.
But they do It with the best OF
intentions. They figure that II
they can't pay you one way they
win pay you another.
But after your wife nags them
for five or six months they como
to the conclusion that they'd
rather owe you.
One boarder eloped with his
landlords wife and then he had
to take In boarders himself to
get rid Of her.
OF course II your rOOmer pays
IN advance that ends your anx-
iety. You should worry whether
your wife runs away with him
or not.
Once In q while q husband sees
his wife clipping, but II he uses
good Judgment he'll make be-
neve he doesn't see It
One fellow discovered his wife
running out the front door with
q suit case In her hand. He didn't
get sore, he just asked her why
she was running.
He told her to take her time
and walk.

boxes, was struck by the P. V. train

a distance of about ninety feet be-
fore the train was brought to a stop.
The truck was badly wrecked and

PAYETTE MEN
RECEIVE PATENT

A patent was granted in the U. S.
Patent office on September "a, to
John Clanton and Arthur Blanchard
covering the invention of what is
called the Hydro Water Motor. This
invention has been under way for
the past IS months and tt is believed
by those who have seen the motor
in operation that 1t will solve the
problem of excessive cost of pumping
water for irrigation purpose. The
motor is a simple invention that can
be placed in any running stream
where 1t accumulates the power from
the current. They can be made any
size to suit the requirements and
after once istalled there is practically
no expense to keep them in operation
and can be attached to any kind of
irrigation pump. No arrangements
have been made for the manufacture
Of these motors, but it has been sug-
gested that a plant might be estab-
lished near Payette where a motor
of sufficient size could be installed
to supply the necessary power to op-
crate the plant.

WILL TRY MODERN HUNTING

]. H. Connyers and Mr.. Bigger
staff two old deer hunters past the
20 year mark are scouting the hills
for the one deer allotted them by the
present game law. They have seen
the day when they could climb the
hills with little more ease than
they can at the present, nd when a
wagon load would not exceed the
limit. but they didn't go in autos in
those days. They left Monday with
a camp outfit piled in the back seat
of Dodge and will try and put up
with the modern style of hunting, but
will probably have to hang blind on
the radiator to make the darn thing
stand while they rope down the load.

old COW that has bell, but if they
ever get their optics on buck,
they'll sure bring home the venison.

QUALITY COUNTS

w. F. Sherwood is sending out
brick every day to some outside
point bringing in outside money in
to the community. The last kiln
burned this season which he is now
working on is in keeping with the
quality of apples grown in our best
orchards this year. They are the
finest IN quality that has left the
Payette depot, they are 1909 extra
fancy. Mr., Sherwood's so years ex-
nerience In the manufacturing of
brick has not exhausted his efforts
In an endeavor to increase the quail
ty. Some people think that a brick is
brick, but there is just as much
difference in quality Of brick as any
other product. II the growers of ap-
pies would give as much attention to
quality as Mr.. Sherwood in his busi-
ness. the selling end of the business
would be settled. it is only a matter
Of establishing a reputation that is
unquestioned that brings success in
any line of business:

aside in 1910 for Carey act pro-
ject known as the Thousand Springs

Urges Better Cream
and Higher Prices
for Idaho Butterfat

Mr.. C. L. Mitchell, efficiency man
for the Challenge Cream & Butter
Association of Los Angeles. Calf,
has been spending few days with
the Farmers Cooperative Creamery
of Payette. He has just returned from
the East, where he attended the Ma
tional Dairy Show and the World g
Dairy Congress at which he read a
paper entitled 1.-THE Cooperative
Marketing of Butter on the Pacific
Coast" The Farmers Cooperative
Creamery has been selling its sur
plus butter through this cooperative
agency for nearly year and attri-
butes its ability to outpay all other
Idaho concerns partly to this fact.
In conversation with one of our re-
porters, Mr.. Mitchell spoke as fol-
lows;
Idaho is wonderful state agri-
culturally. They raise better corn
than Iowa, and as fine alfalfa as
California though not so many cut
tings. You have very fine clover and
bluegrass pastures. What more
could be desired for both heavy pro-
duction and natural fine flavor than
a combination of these feeds? 1t is
a habit to knock the railroads, but !
do you know that Idaho butter
reaches Los Angeles at a freight rate |
Of only two cents per pound. includ-
ng icing, against charge of one |
cent per pound on butter churned !
within two hundred miles of that |
,ity? Yet California dairymen re-
,eived a maximum of fifty-seven |
cents for September butterfati as
against thirty-nine cents at Idaho
,ream stations, and a maximum of
orty-nine cents which was paid by
.wo of your best cooperative cream
,ries. The whole trouble lies in
the unorganfzed, demorslized con-
litioh of the dairymen and the vi
ious, destructive competitive system
'xisting here,
