About 300 Attend the Third
Annual Event

MAKES ADDRESS
Program of Races Carried Out =
Horseshoe Pitching a Feature
Fine Barbecued Meat Makes
a Hit-Enjoyable Day

Elmore Lodge No. 80 of Mountain
Home and Fidelity Lodge No. so o.
Glenns Ferry enjoyed their third an
nual picnic last Sunday.
The Picnic was for Masons, Stars
and their families only, and it was
well attended, about 800 being pres
ent.
The day was warm, but the peo-
pie present managed to find plenty
of cool spots on the Hurlburt ranch,
and everyone enjoyed the occasion.
Several parties started from Noun
tain Home early in the morning,
driving out to the mountains, where
they had breakfast picnic style, and
then proceeded to the ranch by easy
stages.
About IL o'clock, when most of
the people had assembled, a singing
and speaking program was given.
William ID. Talley led the patriotic
singing and Frank M. Hobbs was
master of ceremonies, introducing
the speakers in fine style.
VIII Gibson made a few remarks,
and then Governor Charles G. Moore
was introduced and made a short
address on Masonry which teemed
with homely truths. His address was
well received by the people present.
General d. "A. Utter also made
short address.
A race program was hastily made
up, there being class for everyone,
and small cash prizes being given.
The Feature race of the day was
a "twosome" between sheriff Arthur
Stevens and Charlie Thomas. 1t was
forty yard dash and our honorable
sheriff made a fine start, jumping
into the lead. About half way down
the stretch, however, Art ran into
rough going, causing him to crow
hop and interfere considerably, but
he finished with a burst of speed
which made the race a tie.
The horsesoe pitcing contests ex-
cited a great deal of interest. Those
participating were f. S. Gedney and
VIII H. Gibson, and Charley Moore
and General Utter. Gedney showed
fine form and defeated Gibson, while
the Governor walloped the General
handily. In the two-man team
match between Mountain Home and |
Glenns Ferry, the county seat town |
came through a winner.
The picnic lunch was greatly en-
joyed. The fine baby beef raised by |
Sam Blackwell was done TO a turn,
and was said by all to have been the
best meat they had ever tasted. |
There was plenty of ice cream and |
lemonade, and the picnickers had
taken plenty of trimmings along
with them.
Governor and Mrs. Moore seemed
to enjoy the day. While in Noun
tain Home they were the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Gibson.
The people began departing for
their homes late in the afternoon,
returning to the two towns by var
ous routes.

jolly party consisting of five
cars of Mountain Home folks took an
early start for the picnic Sunday,
leaving town at about 6 o'clock. The
bunch stopped at Barrel springs on
the Dixie hill grade and enjoyed a
trout breakfast, with all the furbish-
ings. While the men were supposed
to do the work, we noticed that they
did not object when the women
helped out.
This bunch stayed together pretty
well during the day and while at
the picnic grounds they organized
the Mountain Home Chapter OF the
Order of Buffaloes. initiating over

PICNIC NOTES

The beautiful Masonic and East
ern Star emblems, constructed of ev-
ergreens and suspended over the
speakers platform, were responsible
for muchf admiration.
The big freezers or ice cream were
one of the centers of attraction.
There was enough for all.
Governor and Mrs. Moore seemed
to enjoy the day and did not leave
until late hour The Governor
parked his Packard in a mudhole and
had to have assistance in getting
out.
The baked beans served to all
were fine.
General Utter was the pay-off man
for the races, and there were no
kicks.
Arthur Stevens last Sunday easily
maintained his reputation as the best
two-handed feeder of the state of
Idaho.
No auto smashups were reported.
In fact there were no accidents of any
kind. Several cars got slightly out
of order, but were soon patched up.
The fine clear, cold spring water
at the Hurlburt ranch is one of the
features, and it was appreciated.
One of the most pathetic sights
we ever witnessed was last Sunday
General Utter trying to balance
four beans on the end of his knife
and convey them to their final re-
pository without losing one of them.
He made good

RIALTO-"On the High Seas"

Placing Dorothy Dalton and Jack
Holt together in a movie picture is
sure to prove big attraction, as both
are strong favoriteS of the movie pa
IRON. This was demonstrated last
night when the Rialto was packed to
the doors to see the pair in the SEN
sational melodrama, "On the High
Seas"
Miss Dalton is thoroughly at home
IN acting the part of the heroine in
stirring scenes and she finds many
opportunities in her latest screen
story. Jack Holt never falters in
sticking to his grimy character and
so well does he keep this up that it
hard to believe in him as wealthy
man seeking adventure until>he dons
Grand finale. The remainder of the
last is adequate, Mitchell Lewis, of
course, standing out as the villain.
The story in brief tells of a wealthy
Young lady returning from the orient
on a big steamer which takes fire and
is destroyed. She is overlooked in
the mad rush for the boats and
picked up outside her cabin by
stoker and carried to a boat hardly
fit for use. After drifting about for
days and nearly dying of thirst, an
abandoned sailboat is discovered,
which has been deserted on account
of the plague. The vessel is fumi
gated, cleaned up and all goes we'll
until heavy storm overtakes it. AS
The vessel is slowly sinking, flares are
burned which attract the attention
Of one of Uncle Sans gunboats and
q rescue results in the nick of time.
The girl is recognized by the officers
and, of course, we'll taken care of,
but the stoker drifts back among
the crew until Los Angeles is reached,
where a prospective bridegroom is
waiting for the young lady the radio
informing her father of her safety.
What follows is the big punch of the
story and has to be seen to be ap-
preciated.
One of the best comedies in a long
time, "The Long Shot featuring Dan
Mason and his old hack horse, car
ries a laugh for every minute of its
showing. Other attractions are the
Bruce nature scenic story, "A Natural
Born Eiar," the Fox News and a fine
musical program.

teresting picture-one little out of
the ordinary and we'll worth seeing.
Tha outstanding gcene in the pic
ture shows the principals of the story,
imprisoned in a cafe basement, ex-
pecting a flood to burst down the
doors and end it all. The persons in
that prison are a crooked cotton
broker. a clergyman, a chorus girl,
drunkard, q philosopher, a political
CRATER and a bartender, who has
Systematically robbed his employer
every week in the year. All are seized
with an intense desire to wipe off the
slate and go to the end clear of sin.
FearA which up to the time of re-
pentance had deadly grip on each
prisoner, suddenly passes, the door
is thrown open in the expectation
that the waters will rush in for
there is only few hours supply of
oxygen, and death by suffocation is
not q pleasant prospect), hut-well,
water doesn't come in.
AS relief for. the nervous tension in
which the audience was wrapped dur
ing the closing scenes of THE Sin
Flood" Lloyd Hamilton shows the
difficulties of obtaining an education
in the far western town of Angel
vile. The picture, "The Educator" is
a two-reel burlesque. Added to this
is current issue of Selznick News.

ADJUSTMENTS

oyert but probably it wasn't much of
themselves unable to enter even the
lobby.
Perhaps the fact that George AIDE
wrote Back Home and Broke es-
pecially for Thomas Meighan con-
tributed largely to it's drawing pow
erS. The subtitleS are as interesting
as the pictured action OF the piece
for they are of course replete with
George Ade humor, and the audlehce
swallowed the moral at the END as
willingly and graciously as they ulu
the Aesop fable.
The story concerns small people in
4 small town, and their reactions 70
the fall and rise of one of the most
prominent citizens. AT the picture
beginning Tom Meighan is at the top
of the social ladder, rich, successful,
envied by all. Then suddenly his
father dies, leaving an inheritance OF
debts and a handful of worthless
stock certificates. So the beautiful
old home is sold, and Tom takes his
place as foreman in the factory which
his father formerly owned. a vista
of possible untold wealth is suddenly
opened by rumors of oil on some land
The father had leased in Oklahoma, so
Tom mortgages the small house which
IS the only asset remaining from the
wrecl and goes west.
A short while later he returns,
worth about eight millions in reality,
but looking like tramp. He keeps
the great secret from even his mother,
and rapidly spreads the conviction
that he is dead broke by seeking a
Job and trying to renew the mort
gage. His idea is to discover who
are his real friends, but they are
few and far between, and our hero
becomes a bit cynical and, Monte
Cristo-like, plans a campaign which
will crush the hypocrites and munif-
icently reward the faithful few who
have helped him in his hour of need.
The unfolding of this plan forms a
denouement which has elements of
both humor and surprise. And the
moral Is, Things look differently
when you are at the top looking g
down." However, the audience might
have concluded that the moral is,
Stake your little to gain ALL

C0LUMBIA-"Tess of the Storm
Country.

Tess of the Storm Country by
Grace Miller White, as played for the
screen by Mary Pickford. remains the
attraction for another week at Loew's s

old film success Of Americas little

through it's appeal as a good story as

The production is well presented
