the same good humor. He said that
II he had some Ham he would
have some ham and eggs, IL he had
some eggs. DR.. Cochran told him he
could get a ham At the Circus. so Jim
went down, played the wheel and
won the ham. Jim vent back to
Boise with a nice bunch of orders as
we'll as the ham THIS is what Jim
said regarding the Circus. that It
was a real show for the kiddies, and
reminded him of the good old days
when he walked for miles to see a
similar show where he saw the Fire
Eaters and the Dummy Dolls, and
the fellow with the little bunch of
whiskers impersonating the Country
Farmer with his jokes. etc. Now that
we are older, these shows do not
arepar 10 give US tie same good
amuseI ent as In the days that are,
past, but don't you believe that thel
kids tod y get the same kick out OF
these shows as you dh when you
we're a lid. Fellows, let's not get So

severely criticized us, and some

say that we have never had dealings

fellows. Though their organization
did not make expenses in this town,
they showed their metal by going be-

POMONA GRANGE

Met with the Willow Creek Grange
Thursday, June 26th. While the at
tendance was not what it should
have been, the meeting was full of
interest. A resolution vas unanl-
mously adopted declaring the grange
would oppose any further bond Is
sue unless it would be for some
necessary school purpose. 1t was
| the consensus of opinion that the
old debts must be paid before we
contract any more new ones. "Pay
as we 60 will be the slogan Of the
grange from now on. l. W. Ken
ward, lecturer for the Willow Grange
explained the laws and customs in
regard to taxing the mining interests
in Idaho. 1t seems the law wonh tax
the mines on the original cost of the
land and then levy a tax on the
net proceeds of the business: hut il
seems to be the custom not to have
much net proceeds, SO the
mines get off with very light
tax. hon. r. D. Hubbard of Kuna

ton. with the exception of public
utilities. to be s4,6SO,640 as against

SEEMS TO Be
UNCALLED FOR.

: The American Legion Circus has
come and gone and the boys of the
American Legion worked long and
ard to make it a success and we
are pleased to announce that the
i Am rican Legion of this city is now
able to pay off all it's debts and have
a little left for future activities. The
boys are always doing something
worth while for the community and
we are mighty glad they made some
thing with their show.
We understand there was some
discussion and even some fault find
ing regarding the games operated at
this circus n that in the minds
of some these games infrjnged upon
the state gambling laws. Others in
sist that inasmueh as something was
given with every cent laid down it
could not possibly infringe upon the
provisions of this law. We are given
TO understand that our officers care
tins show and the fact they did
not s'op it or arrest the perpetrators
is eyilelce enough to US that the
show was not illegal and that the
boys are suffering unjust criticisms.
We know that if anything had been
wrong with it the officers would have
stopped 1t.
But even so, let US look about US
a triffle. Let us for the moment
abandon the attitude of gossip and
general fault finding and gee Just
where we stand and what we have
been saying. The ladies of this city.
some of them, hold regular card par
ties and rlay the game viciously for
the first or second prizes offered and
for which the players give no value
What of it? In the pool halls men
by the hundred play games Of cards
and. if player wins, gets hand
full OF 'hinkies,, which cost him
!xbeohsteIy not hing for sflRa 9osse Psys
for the game. What of it? On
May Day games very similar to
these we're Offered to the citizens of
Payette and vicinity who played them
constantly and some won prizes, car
ried kcwpies around under their
arms. etc. What of it, And our
base VII games where the winner
gets so % or all of the receipts, and
the loser consequently loses The
same proposition exactly What of
it?
Understand US, we are not object
ing to any of the above, but a lesson
can be drawn from it ALL Let US
live and learn. Let not day pass
without learning something. And so
as a lesson from the foregoing let
us learn to be consistent in all things
and not eternally fly off on a tan.
gent and bark at the moon.
