CHEsTNUTs GROWN IN IDAHO

The Payette valley has long been
famous for the production Of various
kinds of fruit. grains and grasses,
but not until recently has it been
known that chestnuts might at some
time become equally famous. H. S.
Burroughs of New Plymouth has on
his ranch, two miles East of that
place, four acres of nine year old
chestnut trees, the American Sweet"
variety that promises to be grand
success. They have produced since
six years old and this year the trees
average about one-half bushel per
tree and the quality is exceptionally
fine. They are much larger than
the eastern grown nuts and are equal
ly fine in flavor This beautiful
specimen can be seen at Anson-Hart
Grocery Co., where they are finding
ready sale.

these are, to Keep in touch with the
work of their children; to encourage
the teacher; to get first hand infor-
nation about the work Of the schools,
to show their willingness TO cooper
ate and to learn the conditions under
which their children spend six hours
a day.
The parents are not the only ones
who can observe American Education
Week. The pupil himself can oD-
serve it. Today the public school
does so much for the American child
that the pupil often accepts it as a
matter of course, without thought of
what public education means TO the
life of the nation. One purpose of
American Education Week is 10 bring
school children themselves as well
as the general eitizenry TO a greater
appreciation of the American Public
school An appropriate part for
every child to take during American
Education Week as well as during
commencement week and every other
week throughout the year might well
be the reciting OF the following
pledge Of allegiance:
l pledge allegiance to the Ameri-
can public school. I acknowledge the
obligation that I owe to the state and
the community for the training which
am receiving As an expression of
my gratitude, and in the presence of
these assembled witnesses, l cheer
fully and unreservedIy pledge myself
ever TO uphold the ideals of the pub
lie school, and TO aid in its further
development and improvement as q
constructive force in the life of the
natien.

The week of November IT TO 20
has been set apart as american Edu-
cation Week, wherein all citizens are
asked 70 study the needs Of their re-
spectiye schools. The observance OF
American Education Week this year
bids far 20 be the greatest campaign
for education that has ever been
made in the United States. The
school people should take the lead
and secure the cooperation OF all the
organizations in the community in
observance of this week. Let the
people OF Idaho do tAeir part in max
ing this statement true.
Illiteracy is a menace to the ma
tion, anording. as it does, a breeding
place for the germs of anarchy and
dissolution. Our schools, therefore,
must not only train in vocation aad
general culture, but in citizenship so
that all may function in the duties

CHICKEN PIE
SUPPER SUCCESS

The chicken pie supper given al
the high school last Friday evening
proved to be as much of success as
the other affairs that have been put
on by the high school this year. This
is an annual affair given by the stu
dents and managed by the student
council. The proceeds go TO the
student association fund. They are
used for athletics and other things
necessary during the year.
For while the boys feared that
this supper might not be as much Of
a success as some OF the past ones,
because of a ruling made by the
board of education this year. This
ruling actually suggested that some
of the students might be tempted to
borrow their neighbors chickens fer
this occasion, and that if this did
happen the public might have to go
without this supper next year, and
the student association their fund.
Needless to say the neighbo-3 still
have their chickens and the public
will have the supper next year as is
customary.
The student council was very gen
erous this year and promised a COM
plimentary ticket to anyone selling
five tickets. Many good statesmen
took advantage of this opportunity
and obtained a free meal About
four hundred and fifty people bought
tickets and about a hundred and fifty
dollars was cleared.
The domestic art rooms were
beautiful in their purple and gold
decorations, the P. H. S. colors. The
decorating committee deserves much
praise for their time and patience
Petersons Furniture Store loaned
the floor lamp which added so much
to the attractiveness of the rooms.
The Delta Kappas, an organization
of Junior and Senior boys, had their
table smartly decorated with their
club colorS, cardlnai and RED; ana
place cards and dainty favors- The
Snappy Sixteen were not to be out
done, and their table in blue and
white, with a gorgeous array OF
flowers, was beauty itself
An added feature, which made the
evening more pleasant was the pro-
gram given at intervals during the
supper.
The food of course was better than
usual both in quantity and quality.
Everyone was we'll satisfied. and
realized that the advertising commit
tee had not over praised it, when
they said, Come to the big chicken
pie supper. Give your family a
treat
