Idaho
This is a poem about Idaho
The country north 1 don't know
But the country south 1 know we'll
For southern Idaho is where l dwell
In the southern parts there are
creeks and fish
There are bears in the mountains
That furnish a palatable dish
There is a big round sun
And blue sky Ger us
And a long mysterious life
out before us
That's Idaho. 0Because)
1t has Christmas, New Years and
Halloween
And days of hard toll slipped in be-
tween.

By the chickens in the coop

THE gander fixed the place cards.
He was the monarch of the group
The turkeys put the dishes on,
The ducks arranged the seats
The folks were brought to order.
The old hens brought the eats.
Mrs. Jones was roasted nice and
brown
And on the platter sat
The Dish was very luscious
She was so very fat.
Mr.. Jones was roasted too.
And also little DaYie.
There were lots of creamed potatoes
And Johnny was the gravy.
Everything went nicely
Until appeared the cat.
And then a Tightly chicken
Spilled the gravy in her lap.
The old hens began to cackle.
The chickens were afraid
The Turks began to gobble.
Oh! what noise they made.
A fat old duck got quite excited
When things began to sputter
And landed on the table
With his foot right in the butter.
To bring things back to order
The gander rose with ease
And then right before them all
He razzed the silly geese.
Everyone seemed happy,
Every minute there was something.
A pretty little chicken
Tried to vamp the ugly duckling.
The old hen saw her daughter
And called her very bold
Oh! there's something doing
When old hens begin to scold.
\ dog appeared upon the scene
And scared the poultry weak,
IND saved Mr.. Jones and wife and
sons
From humiliation, so to speak.

The Game at Grand view

The M. H. H. S. basket ball team
defeated the Grand View High School
in closely matched game at Grand
View, Saturday by a score of to 6.
The playing during the game was
not very fast, due to the poor condi-
tion of the outdoor court in which
the game was played. The baskets
were not regulation size, the court
which had been recently regrayeled
was very soft, and the fact that the
Mountain Home team is used to play
ing on a floor are responsible for the
low score.
The lineup of the Mountain Home
team was as follows: Byron Norell,
Wallace Evans, forwards, Spencer
Caldwell. center. Gurnee Flesher and
Francis Harley, guards, John Lynch
substituted for Flesher in the last
half.

The Old Home Trail
OH this trail was made
For just you and me,
And all the flowers and all the trees,
And all the birds and all the bees
Were ours.
All the showers, that straights the
head
OF the dropping flower and scents
the air
With incense rare.
OH if this trail had been made
For anyone but you and me,
We wouldn't be owning all the flow
ers,
Nor all the summer showers;
We, mayhaps, would be sitting in
our
Lady's vine covered bower,
Out of this midsummer shower,
Away from the incense of flowers.
But that is place we
Are never going to be;
For this good old trail
Has pull like a whale.
So, We'll stick right here,
And kick the dust into the clear
Blue sky, and stay out here
Among the trees and flowers.

THE USE OF PRINTED SILKS
Some Claim Sudden Popularity Spells
Fate-others Contend No. Rival
Is in Sight.

W
There is considerable controversy
at the present time regarding silks,
states a fashion writer in the New
York Tribune. Some contend that
printed silks have met their fate by
their too sudden popularity. while
others hold they will meet no
rival in the coming spring and sum-
mer. Certain patterns have been too
widely taken up to be considered dis
tinctive, it Is true, but the manufac-
turer of the present day Is advanced
enough to realize this and is cOntinu-
ally producing new designs and color
ings. So varied are the patterns that
1t would be difficult to match certain
fabrics were one to try. The old-time
manufacturer was not as far sighted
as the one today. He would, upon the
slightest prediction that certain silk
was to become common" as it were,
almost give up hope of its continued
success. and through his fear of its not
being successful 1t would become al
most extinct.

He paused. then added suddenly,
Listen! There it Is once more"
This time we all heard the faint
sound Of motor running slowly and
with difficulty. There was no doubt
of it.; 1t came from the woods before
us. 1t sounded as if car were run
ming few feet, then stopping, as 1t
would do on very bad road when
having difficulty in getting through.
AS we stood listening to the strange
sound coming through the woods,
BARLEY said: 'You say. Currie. that
there Is no road there, yet by the
sound of it should say that was a
truck. What do you say to going and
finding out what it means?"
Currie gave an exclamation Of dis

thing that takes place on Sykes es-
tate Is our business. / want to know
what car is doing in those woods at
this time of night"
"Oh, I'm game if the rest Of you
are" Currie responded.
With a caution from BARLEY not to
make any noise, we left the road and
entered the woods. 1t was lucky for
us that there were not many vines or
much underbrush, or we should not
have gotten very far. There was no
path. and we fell over stuaps and
broken branches and bumped into
trees at almost every step. BARLEY
had a pocket torch with him, but he
did not want to use it. Once or
twice, though. he did flash it for a
second so that we could disentangle
ourselves from the vines that had
wrapped themselves aro6nd our feet.
We had not heard the motor for
several moments when car doomed

AS the truck, lurching from side to
side, was not going faster than three
miles an hour, we had no difficulty in
keeping up with it. We had followed

Currie said led to Sykes house. Here

Afternoon types, sportswear and
