"ROSE MAIDEN" AT
STANDARD HALL

"The Rose Maiden" will be given
by home talent Saturday, March Is,
at the STANDARD theatre. This en-
tertainment is sponsored by the Civic
Club, with Oliver C. Jones as direc-
tor Admission, children 35c and
adults soc. Following is the story:
The queen of the Flower Fairies,
weary of life of unbroken calm,
prays to the newly returned Spring
that he will bestow upon her also
the gift of love that he bestows upon
man. He warns her of the risk she
runs, but finally yields to her en-
treaties by changing her while she
sleeps into the form of beautiful
girl. Under the name of Roseblos-
som she wanders through the world
to find the love that she seeks. and
meets with a girl who, having been
betrayed and deserted by her lover,
loses her senses and dies broken
hearted. But undeterred from her
search, Roseblossom becomes the wife
of forester, with whom she lives
for a time in such perfect happiness
that she cannot survive his death
The elves bewail the fate of their
queen, and sing a farewell. The clos
ing chorus praises God, who in his
wisdom has given the Rose its thorn.

business fails so far to overcome.
In all these corporate programs thes
future is considered more than the
present, which indicates continued
confidence in Idaho's growth and
represents an immediate additional
investment largely for the future
that is most acceptable right now.
Mining operations give promise of
considerable new investment. There
is an added interest in silver-lead
properties.
Livestock is still in the dumps but
coming gradually to the front again,
with sheep leading cattle.
Highly important timb ering opera
lions have been resumed for the sea-
son and the outlook is promising for
increased business, which will mean
larger and more stable payrolls of
very considerable dimensions.
OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING

lows it's summary of the Idaho situa-
ton with the following statement: I

Oh, it's travel. 30, while the air il

Cairo, Egypt.
October 2, 1923.
Dear Natalie:
One morning a few days after leav-
ing the orient, we dropped anchor at
Cairo, Egypt, which is on the delta
of the Nile river. Most of the Egyp-
tians here are Mohammedans.
When visiting Egypt one usually
thinks of the Israelites who were led
out of bondage during the rule of
one of the Pharoahs.
To-day's trip will take us to the
pyramids which were built out OF
huge blocks of stone over two thous-
and years ago, by the slaves, for the
ancient Egyptian rulers. We shall
also visit the great Sphinx and the
valley of kings to watch during the
excavation of the tomb of Tutonka-
men.
Tomorrow we are to take trip
to the arid Sahara desert and will
spend the night on an oasis and
hope l will see an ostrich.
Day after tomorrow we leave for
Europe. 1t really doesn't seem pos
Iible we have been here two weeks
Mother says to come so good bye for
his time.

IDAHO OUTLOOK FOR
1924 SHOWN TO BE
VERY ENCOURAGING

Partial reports collected from
principal points in Idaho by Boise
organization indicates building OPP
erations in Idaho to the extent OF
around $1O,OOO,OOO for business and
domestic construction, including bet
terments.
Corporate construction, such as be-
ing carried on by the Oregon Short
Line, the Mountain States Telephone
& Telegraph Co., the Idaho Power
company and similar institutions is
not included.
This estimate represents consider
able increase over 1928, which
showed around $7,25O.OOO for the
same classification here given.
CORPORATION ACTIVITIES
The Oregon Short Line is contin-
uing its most helpful building pro-
gram, the statement continues, one
item being the Boise line, at about
$9,500,000. The work west of Glenns
Ferry, representing a large outlay,
is practically completed. Betterments
at local points by the Short Line
this year will run into a very large
total.
The Power company construction
program will be continued to meet,
as far as possible, such requirements
as at American Falls and general ex-
pressed needs of the public for extern
sion and betterments.
The same is true of the telephone
company, which, however, almost
like some of the others, finds itself
in a difficult position, according to
official reports, to secure additional
appropriations to meet demands that
indicate keen necessity on the part
Of the public for extensions. The
telephone company, to put it bluntly,
although accurately, these reports
show, is in the "red" to the extent of
q brilliant hue as to local Idaho bust
ness, which a very fair long distancej

Talk about honor
Our boys are the stuff,
They play the game
Without running a bluff.
They're Gurnee and Wallace,
And Francis and Pete,
Byron's their captain
And cannot be beat:
Mr.. Rankley's their coach
He watches his step
And breaches the slogan
You all must have per-
They've been defeated
But just hold your lip.
When it is icy
We're all apt to slip.
They won us a medal,
It's up on the wall.
We honor the boys,
God bless 'em, that's all.

October 2S, 1928.
Dear Natalie:
We left Liverpool yesterday, for
home. I have had the most wonder
full trip imaginable.
When we were in Rome we took a
trip to the volcano of Mount vesu-
vius which once erupted, destroying
and burying the city of Pompeii.
We also saw the Forum, Catacombs
and the Vatican which has over one
thousand rooms and covers thirteen
acres of ground
In England we went to the Wind
sor Castle and Westminster Abbey
which certainly are beautiful.
In France we went to the Louvre
Art Gallery of Napolions and to the
Eiffel Tower, which, you know, is
the largest in the world.
The Parthemon is wonderful
ruin, but / think Alhambra castle
near Granada, Spain, the most pic
turesque.
Expect me the thirtieth.

The Junior Play

Listen, my children,
And you shall hear
OF the wonderful play
OF the Juniors, this year.
Have you heard of this wonderful
Junior play?
To be given in such a marvellous
way?
On the twenty-first of March, in ~
The Hall will be crowded clear up tC
the door.
I'll tell you the story
tbs new and not stale.
"At The End of The Rainbow"
A wonderful tale.
It's story of lovers
OF friends tried and true,
Hearts and Masks, and Dan Cupid,
And enemies, too.
For those who like football,
Housekeeping and songs,
Mask-parties and secrets and
Young folks in throngs,
There's excitement quite lasting
And thrills so divine,
At the end of each act you will say,
ut is fine!"
AS newly-weds, Bonnie and Lambert
are rare
For Lambert is the brave and Bonnie
the fair
There is Wallace, a lover,
And Ethel he loves.
When you see them together, you
will say
Like two doves"
Helen as Marion
Is only eighteen,
And Fred, who is forty,
Is right on the scene.
Bess is the villainl
Her eyes CLEAN and glow.
With Burton as prey
She does not go slow
She is charming and loving,
But behind this gay mask
Is heart as deceiving
AS you could well ask
And Burton. who loves her,
With true love 50 mild
Thinks she is an angel
She knows him a child.
Now All is the butler
And Kara the maid
Their life is exciting,
No more needs be said
Grace is the Imp"
Tis a wonderful story;
She tells on the villain.
And gets all the glory
George is romantic as
Captain of the team
That he makes great hit
Is not hard to be seen.
Then Eta, and Lila, and Ida and
Blanche.
Are all good Theta Phis. if you give
them a chance.
They support their dear team,
But F'reida. the maid, says
They are not what they seem.Y
Mary Lee has her nerve
She tries to cop Alden
But she gets what she deserves
And that is quite seldom
All in all you will find

One of the most successful basket.
ball seasons that Mountain Home
High School has had for the past
years has just closed.
Playing thirteen games and losing
but two of them, the team has scored
331 points against their opponents
169.
As a school and a basketball team
we appreciate the untiring efforts of
our Coach, Harry r. Rankley, to
develop a winning team. He has
worked faithfully with the boys to
his utmost ability and we believe
his efforts are well repaid by his
team winning the silver trophy Of
ferred to the winners of the class
"B" tournament, Mountain Home.
On behalf of the basketball boys
the student body believes they have
worked hard and faithfully all the
season and should be given some re
ward. The business men of the town
will be asked for small donations sc
as to purchase sweaters for the frs
five men.

 where they have regular hours of sleep and play. substantial food and the companionship of other children. Soon a change is noticeable. they are more wide awake. and begin to imi- tate the actions of the other chill dren. Children have two meals day and regular hours for maps.

DAY NURSERY IS
 AID ID CHILDHOOD
Mrs. O'Brien Took Care of ii,COO
 Youngsters in Year 1928

New Britain Day Nursery, one of the health organizations of the city, instructs mothers in the care of their children. Eleven thousand children were cared for in 1923 ard 300 fam flies were served at the institution.
 The mother who is obliged to sup port her children is today the only workman" who is on the job 24 hours a day. The nursery is day home where working mothers may take their children and leave them from 6:S0 a. m. to $50 p. m. Early in the morning they come for q long happy day. and they love ii. and what splendid solution of difficult problem 1t is for the mother. No wonder there is waiting list and that Mrs. Frank O'Brien feels like the woman in the crowded shoe.
 The nursery is close adjunct to the school. as through the nursery regular school attendance is made possible for the older child who otherwise would be kept home to care for the younger sister or brother while the mother worked. The nur- sery is being more widely recognized as a positive factor in the family TO- mobilization. In the family where the man is a deserfing husband there is legitimate field for the Day nur- sery.
 Then there is the widows family. Cases of widows with four or five small children, children Of sick moth- CTS. or of mothers who are obliged to work because of sick fathers find that the Day nursery is distinct blessing, offering self help which is always, when practicable, the best

 IS UP AT AUCTION
Kansas City, Mexican and Orient
 Line Inspired by Spirits

By the Associated Press.
 Wichita, kas., March 27.-Beset by
 one reversal after another in its fight for financial rehabilitation, the un- completed Kansas City. Mexico & l Orient railroad. dreamed of by Ar thur k. Stilwell as the shortest low
 grade transcontinentai trunk line be- tween Kansas City and the Pacific coast, will be offered to the highest
 bidder here today. A petition on be- half of the English investors in Orient asking postponement of the sale was denied yesterday by Federal Judge John c. Pollock, who ordered the sale February to satisfy a government lien for $2.500,000 with interest, ad-
 vanced in 1923. to enable the road to
 continue in operation. Under the sale order, the government is given prior lien and its claim is to be preferred. The order specifics the purchaser must
 continue operation of the road.
 The Orient Is the only railroad tra- Iyersipg a large and prosperous area
 of the southwest, More than four
 score towns and cities that have sprung up along the line are depend ent upon it for transportation. The
 road was organized in 1901. with capital of s50,O0o,0 ,000.
 The project was the conception of Arthur E. Stilwell .one of the coun- try's foremost railroad builders, who claimed to have been advised by brownies" in dream that the plan was feasible. The little psychic Nis- itors also caused Mir. Stilwell to build
