At the New Dover Opera House

Wednesday and Thursday 'The
Next Corner"-A big cast and a big
story go hand in hand in Sam Woods
latest production for Paramount, The
Next Corner" Conway Tearle, Lon
CLANCY, Dorothy Mackaill, Ricardo
Cartez and Louise Dresser are the
featured players. The story, adapted
to the screen by Monte NJ. Katterjohn
from the novel of the same name by
Kate Jordan, is one with a moral for
every young married cOuple-the les
son we derived was one of satisfac-
ton with our lot in life and-well-
discretion. 1t has been a long time
since we enjoyed a picture as we did
"The Next Corner'-and that's praise
indeed for we're mighty hard to
please.
Friday and Saturday-"The Strang-
er'-Fifteen stunning Partisan gowns
and not one could be worn in the
picture! That was Betty CompsOn's
experience when she recently return
ed from Europe to play one of the
featured roles in the Joseph Henabery
production for Paramount, "The
Stranger"
Monday and Tuesday-"The En-
chanted Cottage" - promises to be
the finest of the series of films Rich
ard Barthelmess has done for First
National 1t will undoubtedly attract
the fans because it presents Barthel-
mess and May McAvoy in character
portrayalS considerably different from
anything else they have ever attempt
ed. And it will also please those who
like to see these two players as their
natural selves, for in a part of the
film they work without character
makeup. For the garden and cottage
set which is used in the picture, real
sod and artificial trees and flowers
were laid on the studio floor to give
the effect of bit of English country
side. The exterior and interior OF
the cottage, designed by Livingston
Platt, are excellent illustrations OF
good taste in studio design.

Laurel is rid of slot machines. Such
an order was issued by the mayor
last week to become effective last
Saturday night. A little over a month
ago the first slot machine was intro
duced there. 1t was not many days
until nearly every store in town was
equipped with one Of the devices.
Some of them were not being operat-
ed as gum machines but were mere
gambling devices.

my appetite, am starting to put
on good solid flesh again l don't

That is why this Delaware man
swears by Goff's Bitters and says

Goff's Bitters in water before meals
could work such wonders with
man.
Gof's Bitters is a pure herbal
preparation, that frees you of bowel
troubles. 1t puts your stomach in
order. and keeps it in order il YOU

in 35c and zoe sizes. The 7Oc size
is the most economical.

Petty Thieves at Work

Monday early in the evening some
petty thieves were busy in town
Among the houses entered were Paul
Cline's, the whitney home and Ben
Smiths Eatables seemed to be the
chief thing taken. Mrs. Ben Smith
says that if the culprits would be
so truly kind as to return the pans
and dishes taken they can keep the
eats. 1t is thought by the police that
it was the work of some transients.
Monday we had large number of the
travelling element in town beating
their way both east and west, and no
doubt they were hungry, poor fell
lows, yes, even hungry enough not
only to eat the contents of those
utensils but the utensils as we'll.
However, if one of them happens to
read this and has not yet consumed
the utensil, will he please return
same and no questions will be asked?

Gets Warm water

Dowl Shrum, who is a partner in
the Shrum Brothers swimming pool,
the finest of its kind in Idaho except
ing, of course, the Nat at Boise, is
busy hunting for natural hot water.
He is engaged with a gang of men
opening up an old well on the north
side of the town which was sunk
some years ago on the Sim Collins
lots opposite the Episcopal Rectory.
Dowl has come to a good flow of wa
ter, not perhaps as hot as he would
like, but warmer than the ditch wa
ter used last year for the pool and is
now putting in two-inch pipe to
the pool, distance of one and a
quarter blocks.

HONEY PARTY
At THE LIBRARY
Rose Maiden Chorus and Escorts En-
tertained By Civic Club Ladies
Mirth Galore

The chorus which put on "The
Rose Maiden" cantata in Mountain
Home and Bruneau recently, togeth-
er with their escorts, were enter
tanned in the library rooms last Fri
day evening by the ladies of the Civ
io club. 1t was one of the most pleas
ant evenings ever spent by those who
were fortunate enough to attend.
Mrs. c. H. Stewart opened the fes-
tivities by calling on the Civic club
chorus for a song. This was so well
received that another selection was
rendered.
Papers we're passed containing
sentences whose definitions resulted
in musical term. Thirty minutes
was allowed the participants to turn
in their papers. No one had bat
ting average of 100 per cent in this
contest, but II. L. Braden managed
to get all of his right but two, and
received the prize. Dad Lewis and
Tom Lindsay were a tie for the cellar
championship, and on the "guess-off"
the latter won out, receiving a sweet
little S-note Little Lady" harmon
lea, accompanied by this admonition:
When you wish to set us crazy, play
upon this Little Lady"
The second feature consisted of
papers containing the names of mot
ed musicians" all being jumbled up.
This was hard nut to crack until it
was discovered that the artists were
local celebrities, and then the papers
were quickly finished.
The guests were then seated in
groups of four and each quartet drew
a card with the name of an old song
written thereon. Mrs. Stewart ex-
planned that each group was to get
up in front and sing the song for the
edifieation of all, and this was done
without whimper. The last group
to perform had that sad ballad,
when You and ] Were Young, Mag
gie," and the theme was carried by
Miss Bozena Ademek, her beautiful
mezzo soprano rising to
unknown heights. The
whole audience at once dissolved in
to tears AS one lady so aptly ex-
pressed it, "Bozena is sure the trout's
necktie,' which is French for mot
so worse" Miss Ademek was pre-
iented the prize without dissenting
'oice. 1t was a fine big box of fudge,
which was passed around by the win
ler.
Everyone went up in front and
iang several songs while the refresh
nent committee was setting the table
or lunch. The ladies then exercised |
heir prerogative and chose their
partners for the tables. Lunch con-
listed of sandwiches, salad, pickles,
Saratoga chips and coffee, and it was
,reatly enjoyed.

Why. Huhl

H. Hurlburt met with a nasty ac-
cident few days ago while painting
the outside of his house. The ladder
which he was using was kind of
short for the high points, so Hub inn
provised an extension by way of a
table. The ladder slipped, Hub cut
his ip-tiddleywink, the doctor. Dr.
Davis had to put in seven stitches,
for Hub had cut both the upper and
lower lips clean in half, made mas
ty blood clot above the eye and broke
a finger. 1t was truly a bad acci-
dent, but we are glad to report that
Hub is getting along well.

CLEAN UP WEEK
INAUGURATED

Yes, sir, she's going to have her
face washed
At the last meeting of the city
council the dads decided to work in
conjunction with the Mountain Home
Chamber of Commerce and further a
cleanup and paint-up week. The
dates as decided upon are April
21-26.
During this week it is hoped that
the citizens of Mountain Home gem
orally will clean their yards, both
front and back, remove ashes and
garbage from the alleys, repair brok-
en- fences, walks, etc, and, if their
finances will permit, give the house
and outbiuldings glad regalia in
the shape of bright new paint.
No use in talking, folks, 1t will
make the old town look 100 per cent
better and, what is more, will reflect
in increased values more than the
expenditure amounts to.
Roscoe w. Smith, the live-wire
president Of the Chamber Of Com
merce has come forward and offers
prize Of IS to the pupil of the high
school who prepares the best poster
for Cleanup Week. The posters, as
submitted, will be numbered and Civ
en- to committee selected from the
Chamber of Commerce, which will
pass on the entries. The winning
poster will then be reproduced and
placed in the windows of all the
business houses of the city.
We should all of us do everything
in our power to further this laudible

COnsults Eye Specialist

Mrs. A. L. Wood went to Boise
Friday with her daughter Olive, who
returned to school at St. Margaret's
hall, and incidentally to consult an
eye specialist. A week ago last Sun
day, while attending the evening
service in the Episcopal church, she
lost her eyesight, and instead of re-
gaining it it gradually became worse.
She was accompanied by Mrs. j.
Knudson and the trip was made in
the C. F. Morris car. Saturday DR..
Maxey of Boise brought her home
and ordered her to bed. Owing to
very poor eyesight before this attack
the doctor gives very little hope of
permanent relief. She is to be kept
in darkness for number of weeks
before a further examination can be
made. The trouble seems to be the
breaking of a blood vessel in the one
eye upon which she was dependent
for her vision since childhood when
an attack of measles caused eye trou-
BILE.

NEW RATES ARE
NOW IN AFFECT

The new rates Of the Idaho Power
Co. went into effect with the bills
rendered April /. AS far as can now
be determined the adjustment as a
general rule was not reflected in in
creased bills for light, power and
cooking. The water heating rates
seem to be the only ones which have
advanced. Taken as a whole, the
total net bills will be about the same
as formerly. with a considerable de-
crease for large users Of juice.
