BE SQUARE

Our attention has been called to a
little book recently published by a
man named William Byron Forbush.
1t is only little SS-page affair, yet
we wish every citizen of Mountain
Home could get it and read it and
reflect upon its contents, for it is
one fthe most powerful arguments
against dishonesty and deception
that any man can produce. The IT,
tie of the little book is BE Square"
The boo kshows that stock frauds,
land frauds and confidence games
cost us, each year, the sum of $2,-
0OO.OOO,OOO Burglary and theft
claim another $525, 100000; embez-
element and defalcations total $125-
1000; graft and lotting in public
Office reach the enormous sum in a
a single year of 5000, 100000; fraud
ulant bankruptcies and credit
swindles total another 100000;
bad debts owing merchants average
$3.50, 900, 900 year; forgeries and
worthless checks amount to $685.
100000; piracy and seaport robber-
les amount to $75,OOO,OOO. Alto
gether it foots up grand total of
s,ooo,ooO,oOO. Add to this the IS.
OOO,OOO,OOO the U. S. pays for police
courts. prisons, jails. etc. in single
year and we find that dishonesty
costs the citizens o fthis country
$4,000, 100000. sum sufficient to
pay the running expenses of any
three governments, or enough to
educate every child in the United
States
Staggering figures yet truthful.

EXCELLENT SPECIMEN
OF HOME GROWN CORN

S. P. Fairchild, well known resi-
dent of this city called at the Repub-
lican office last Wednesday morning
to exhibit an excellent specimen of
Evergreen corn, which was grown at
his residence north of town. Mr..
Fairchild has about one quarter of
an acre planted to corn, which he
figures would harvest on an average
of fifty bushel to the acre This is
only another reminder to the people
of this community what may be
grown here if an adequate water
supply is ayailable-we are going
to have it too and it is hoped that
it is not so far away. In addition to
a nice little garden plot, Mr.. Fair
child has gone into the chicken BUSH
ness on a small scale.

MANY ENJOY SUNDAY
SCHOOL PICNIC

The members of the NJ. E. Sunday
School had a very pleasant time at
their picnic last Thursday. Plans
were first made TO take the school
to Julia Davis Park in Boise, but
enough cars could not be secured
for the transportation of the large
crowd, consequently the idea had to
be given up. Mr.. and Mrs. Hill ex-
tended an invitation to meet on their
lawn, there being plenty of shade
and water, this was accepted and it
proved to be fine place for picnic.
Games were enjoyed until time for
dinner at noon, this being the big
event at a picnic. The children put
in the afternoon playing and swing
ing, while the ladies had a regular
session of the Aid. then some more
eats. Much credit is due Mrs.
Smylie for her untiring efforts in

AN IDEAL LAW

Kentucky has recently passed an
ideal law. 1t reads like this: Amy
person who shall wilfully, knowing
ly or maliciously repeat or commune
cate to any person or persons false
rumor or report of slanderous or
harmful nature, or which may be
detrimental to the character or
standing of such other person or
persons, whether such person is a
private citizen, an officer, or an can
didate for office, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdomeanor and upon
conviction shall be fined not less than
SO nor more than $1,000, or i'm
prisoned not less than 10 days nor
more than so days, or both so fined
and imprisoned for each offense."
It's nothing more or less than a
fine against gossiping-and it's
fine law. We are as free of gossips
in Mountain Home as any other
town of its size, and yet there are
times when such a law is needed in
this community. The Kentucky
law goes on to state that when ar
rested the gossiper will be forced
to prove on the witness stand that
the rumor he or she is circulating
was absolutely true, and that there
were reasonable grounds for circu-
lating same. Since all of us know
that not once in a million times can
gossiper prove the rumor he cir
culates, it is easy to see how strong
the law really is and how great
could be the number of convictions
under it.
Today there is no redress against
gossip. Business and character and
good name can be swept away
with a single false report, and no
satisfaction can be had by the in
jured party. But with a law like
this on the statute books of every
state there is no reason why gossip
ing could not be pretty generally
stamped out all over the country.

THE PALACE.

For many seasons Billy Sharp's se- ries of 10th Century ReVues have. been figured among vaudeville's snappiest, liveliest, jolliest and most entertaining productions. Each season sees Billy with a new revue and each revue pre- sents the music and dancing of the day surrounded with breezy comedy and brilliant novelties Billy Sharp and the Billy Sharp Specialists have developed into a combination that must at all times be reckoned with when high class vaudeville diversions are under consideration.
 Now comes Bill Sharp's latest revue conception to head the Palace bill for the first three days of the current week and its presence at the top of a care
 fully selected bill means thirty show
 filled minutes during which laughter, music and graceful stepping forms the trio that will hold sway over the big theatre and its audiences. The enter

ace bill for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The literary value, the dramatic strength and the excellence of the cast of this picture have. given 1t a prominent place among recent screen productions. It is a story containing pathos as well as laughter, heartthrobs as we'll as thrills and fast action with its spirit of adventure, It IS a virile story, yet a decided novelty in screen vehicles.
 "The cast appearing in His Forgot ten Wife" is a powerful and capable one. Such artists as A1adge Bellamy, Warner Baxter, Alaude Wayne Hazel Keener and Tom Guise interpret the roles of Mr. Lan1bert's story. These leading players are supported in turn by others carefully selected for the va rious roles.
 The Palace bill for Thursday, Fri day and Saturday is headed by one of the latest productions among vaude- ville's new musical comedy acts. This is The Test" pretentious production from the hands of C. B. Maddock.

The program is replete with solos and Ines and the act forms an admirable and enjoyable bit of unusual vaudeville.
 Nimble feet and ninble wit play ac- tive parts in the act of Rives and Ar mold who are due to fill the always important next-to-closing position on this bright bill The pair is a duo of unusual versatility and have assembled a series of little happenings that make an act having that touch denoting class
