PEACH ORCHARD

Peach Orchard is sure on the map
for doing things
Our two gins are running at full
blast. We are having an ideal fall for
picking cotton.
Rev. J. NJ. Stevens has sold his town
property here and intends to move
back to Biggers soon. We will GER
tainly miss him and his family as we
have learned to love him as a pastor
during his two-year stay here. He
helped organize the Missionary Bap-
fists and helped build the same with
work and money We feel that we
will miss his true Bible sermons. Much
Of the present preaching is mere
treatise on morals. 1t deals with
theory, science and reason and not
with sin and the sinner. Respectable
ity and cOnventiOnalism are the two
outstanding goals of the average
church members of today. We have
taken the emotional out Of our religion,
therefore our ideals have been lower
ed and the old timer is not far wrong
when he says, "YOur profession of
faith is too dry-eyed and the religion
that you get is too easily lost" A re-
turn to sound methods in our reli-
gious activities will give us a regener-
ated and revived church membership
land the power to convict sinners.
An organized body of ladies met at
the home of Bro. and Sister Stevens
Monday afternoon Oct. 6, in a bust
ness session after which we gave them
a purse of about $50 as a remembrance
and an expression of our appreciation
for what he and his wife had been to
MS while pastor. He responded, thank
ing us in his soul-stirring. kindly way
of his with tears streaming down his
checks. We all felt amply paid if
we did have to work hard quilting
and planning to raise the amount on
that certain date. Delicious refresh
ments consisting of angel food cake
ana marshmallOw pudding with cream
sauce were served On the same even
ing about sixty of their friends gave
them a surprise. They heard a noise
ana when they turned around it SEEM
ed like the whole city had come to call
on them, but after they pulled them
selves together they found that it was
their Peach Orchard neighbors and
friends. We gave them a sure enough
pounding, went right into the living
room, filled the library table, the din
ing room table and the kitchen floor
with everything good to eat, sugar,
coffee, -four eggs crackers canned
goods, butter, pickles, potatoes, dry
goods and many other things After
some songs and talks by different ones
Bro. Stevens thanked as one and all
and the party was dismissed with a
prayer led by Bro. Stevens.

Every Caldwell womsn and pariic-
ularly every Caldwell mother should
register an emphatic endorsement OF
the pure milk ordinance thar the city
council proposes Probably Caldwell
is the only town or city in Idaho
with on; the protection from dirty
and disease carrying milk.
The position is not an enviable one
for Caldwell Pure milk concerns
the health OF every citizen OF this
community. But Il is OF particular
importance to Caldwell children.
Dairy herds which. for all we may
know may be reeking with iubercu-
losis, are providing milk for this city
High time it is that the city coun-
Gil takes a hand in this matter. Fifty
dollars a month. the estimate cost Of
administering such an ordinance. is
compared to the value
OF the assurance that milk being con
sumed in your family comes from a
dairy herd free from disasc and main

The Man Below

Funny how time changes things
One remembers. for instance. not 5,
many years ago how the entire ives
applauded when Fall was chosen sec
rotary of the interior He was a west
ern man. man familiar with western
problems. New Mexico, his home
state, vibrated with enthusiasm.
But how different it is today. From
New Mexico. men who aver they
know. write that Fall has never pos
sessed the confidence of citizens of
that state. that his record has been
shady. Yet he was elected to the
senate OF the United States. Surely
President Harding could have asked
for no higher endorsement than this.
Fall must have had the confidence of
citizens of New Mexico else he could
not have been elected to the senate.
Fall may be guilty. Certainly every
scrap OF evidence uncovered by the
senate committee smells with 4 stencil
that Washington has not experienced
IN all its history. But the rather re-
markable thing is that it becomes so
easy to criticize and attack a man who
is down.

Getting Off Wrong

Frank Vanderlip. banker and typi
cal American conservative. too evi
IDENTIFY overstepped his chosen path
way when he implicated President
Harding, through the sale Of the Mari.
on Star, in the oil scandal.
One will perhaps never know ex.
actly why he did what he has done
to besmirch fair name. His testi-
mony before the senate committee was
pitifully weak and lacked sincerity.
One wonders if Mr.. Vanderlip did not
recount gossip and rumor which
reached him without due regard for its
Importance, little thinking that what
he CHANGED 10 say might not become
immediately an affair OF national i'm
portance.
America was shocked when Mr.
Vanderlip virtually indicted President
Harding. But America waited and
was relieved to learn that the accusa-
tons were absolutely groundless. Mr..
Vanderlip. perhaps. will next time use
reasonable discretion before he voices
idle rumor.
