AN UGLY HABIT

We do not know whether to attri-
butte it to the world war or not, but
we can truthfully say that since that
event we have noticed a decided ten
dency on the part of the rising gem
GRAFTON in Mountain Home to show
a growing disrespect for the name of
God, tendency to use profanity
without even thought of the re-
suits.
We do not want to pose as censors
of the language used by others, but
when profanity becomes so common
as to be used upon the streets and
in public places, with utter abandon
and without regard for those who
may be near, we feel it our duty, as
an institution serving the public, to
call attention to it and insist upon
little better choice of language.
Many boys of school age appear to
think it shows manliness to swear,
or use profane and filthy language.
More than one girl, possibly inno-
Gently, lets herself become addicted
to slang phrases that are both harsh
and vulgar. Others of their set hear
it, and are quick to initiate. And
pretty soon the habit has taken such
a general hold that the user finds
or herself unable to call
forth sentence that is clean and
without profanity.
There is no occasion for using such
language, and the growing genera
ton should realize this and stop be-
fore it is too late. The man VINO
5wears usually does so because his
vocabulary is limited and he cannot

MORE MILK

Evidently the American people are
drinking something besides tea, cof-
fee, soda water and home brew. The
department of agriculture finds that
they consumed last year 212 quarts
Of milk apiece. That did not all ego
down the red lane" in liquid form,
but very large amount of it did
billions of gallons in all. Milk con-
sumption Increases steadily, year af-
ter year, especially as a beverage.
Here is an Indulgence in which there
can be no dangerous excess. We
never heard of a Mountain Home
child drinking more fresh, rich milk
than was good for it, and few adults
have ever done so. There is not only
health in milk, but there is sound
economy. 1t is in thousands of cases
a good substitute for meat, and peo-
pie who find themselves unable to
eat meat of any kind can still live
and flourish on milk. 1t can be pro-
duced in larger quantities than meat
on the same number of acres and,
therefore, dairying becomes more and
more important as population in
creases. And when costs are figured
in there is no cheaper food in all
America.

ANOTHER NUISANCE

One of our subscribers, living not
far from Mountain Home tells us
he has lost about $40 worth of his
chickens the last three months.
They were run down and killed by
auto drivers who do not think or
do not care how hard it is for a
man to make a living these days.
Several of this mans neighbors
have lost poultry the same way. Any
one who travels by road does not
have to be told about this nuisance.
Poultry to do well should have a
range. 1t is nearly impossible, and
would be highly expensive, to fence
poultry from the roads. The civil
lized motorist seldom, or never, kills
chicken. The slayers are the
reckless speeders who whiz by and
possibly try to see if they can't kill
a chicken crossing their path A
state law requiring a driver to stop
and pay for any poultry he kills, or
be subject to fine, would fix those
fellows, and quite likely the farm
ers could be trusted to see the law
was enforced.

TAKE CARE OF IT

Now that the soldiers bonus is a
fact, the ex-service men who are in
tended to benefit by It will have to
be constantly on their guard against
the thousands of schemers and graf
ters of all sorts who will devise NUM-
erous tricks for getting hold of their
money. They will be tempted to-
mortgage their insurance and "in-
vest" the money in this and that
scheme and the result in a great
many cases will be that they will
wake up some morning and find
that they have nothing whatever
coming to them. Service men we've
talked to around Mountain Home
seem to realize that the real cash
value of the bonus is small enough at
best, so we sincerely hope that every
one of them will make up his mind
to resist every effort which others
may make to induce him to sign
away his bonus and sell his birth
right for a mess of pottage. Don't
do anything hastily or without the
advise of those you can rely on;
there is plenty of time to decide

MRS. SUSAN LocKMAN

Mrs. Locluman passed from this
life July 4, 1924, at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Rebecca Fitzwater, of
Mountain Home, from the effects of
hemorrage on the brain last Sun
day afternoon, aged SIS years, 8
months and II days.
The deceased has the very unusual
record of 81 years of her lifetime at
Mountain Home and vicinity. Born
in Clay county, Missouri, Oct. %,
1858, she came with her parents to
Idaho. Canyon Creek, several miles
from Mountain Home in 1873. Two
years later, Aug. 10, 1875, as Miss
Susan Viola Daniels, she was mar
ried to Abram Warren Lockman.
They built house and lived on the
place now occupied as the new city
park here. The name of Lockman is
however, more intimately associated
with the Lockman ranch north of
town where they built nice house
and home and reared their children.
Mr. Lockman died six years since,
July 25, 1913.
The six children given them are all |
living: Mrs. l.. j. Tanner of Noun
tain Home; Mrs. F. T. Cutting,
Butte, Mont; VIM w. Lockman,
New Dayton, Alberta; and Mrs. w.
f. Risor, Manhattan, Mont. There
are six grandchildren.
With her brothers and sisters she
