THRESHERS ARE
STILL BUSY HERE

Threshing crews are still busy in
the immediate locality of Mountain
Home and bumper crops are reported
in every instance. This has been the
banner year for grain in this section,
in fact there has been more grain
raised near Mountain Home this year
than at any time in its past history
and each yield is of excellent quality.
In Camas county, also a large crop
is reported, one sale in that district
last week aggregated $4,000 bushels,
we are informed.
The price of grain at this time is
reported to be somewhat lower than
earlier in the season, but a recovery
is rported to be in sight and without
doubt all growers will receive nice
sum for their product.

OVERHEAD IS
LARGE BURDEN
You Must Pay in Taking
Shopping Trips to our Big
Cities II Some Facts
And Figures
How mueh does 2 and 2 make?

How much does and make?
Figuring the advantages Of buy
ing from Mountain Home merchants
is as simple as that. It is a question
Of elementary arithmetic. When an
out-of-town merchant begins talking
quantity buying and quantity
selling he is trying to confuse you
with high-sounding terms so as to
make you loose sight Of the fundamen
tai issue
All you have to do in that case is
to get out pencil and paper to bring
him down to brass tacks
Figures are bound to tell the
truth.
What do they show us?
Big Town is 100 miles from Noun
tain Home on the main line Of the
railroad other things being equal,
the largest store in Big Town can
save its customers more money than
the smallest store, and on the
grounds urged by our Big Town
merchant quantity buying and
quantity selling Just how this
comes about is obvious lower
freights, cash discounts, bigger as
sortments, over prices, quick turn
over, smaller overhead in proportion
to each article, and 50 on.
The Mountain Home merchant can
argue in the same fashion, and 1t is
just as true here as it is in the Big
Town.
Both are right-the merchant in
The Big Town. so far as his customers
in Big Town are concerned, and the
in Mountain Home so far
as his customers in Mountain Home
are concerned.
But the merchant in Big Town
can't extend his territory to include
Home in this promise Of
benefits that come to customers from

EARLY RESIDENT
dies SUDDENLY
Mrs. Foley Abbott Dies Sud
denly in Boise Hospital
Resident Of County For
Many Years

This community was saddened
deeply last Saturday by the receipt OF
the news of the death of Mrs. Foley
Abbott, of Featherville in a Boise
Hospital. Mrs. Abbott was promin-
emily identified with the early his
tory of Elmore county, having been
a resident near Featherville for the
past thirty years and leaves to mourn
her loss, besides near relatives, a
host of friends throughout this sec
tion of Southern Idaho.
Mrs. Abbott had been confined to
Boise Hospital for several months
but had sufficiently recovered so as to
be able to return to her home at
Featherville a week ago last Monday.
On Wednesday of last week she was
stricken with stroke of paralysis
and was Immediately rushed back to
the hospital, where she passed away
Saturday night at nine-thirty. The
remains were laid to rest in Morris
Hill cemetery in the Capital City and
the last sad rites were attended by
numerous friends from various sec
tions of Elmore county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott had lived
near Featherville since 1892 at the
old home place. She was born in
Scotland fifty-eight years ago and
besides her loving husband is sur
viyed by two daughters, Mrs Josie
Osborn and Mrs. Ella Wood, one
son, Foley Abbott, Jr., and one sis
ter, Mrs. Schraft, of Pine. \

LOCAL DAIRYMEN
PURCHASE CATTLE
Elmore County Dairymen
Add Registered Sires
To Their Present
Herds

Five EImore County dairymen ac-
companied by the University Field
Dairyman and the County Agent
made trip through Southern Idaho
to visit the breeders of Purebred
dairy cattle and to hunt up suitable
pure bred sires to head their herds.
The men making the "trip were
]. w. Woodruff, John MeKeegan, J.
w. Hathaway, A. G. Nettleton and
Henry Kniefel all interested in i'm
proving their dairy herds and in
building up a profitable system of
Agriculture in their communities.
Practically all the purebred breed
ers in Southern Idaho were visited
and some wonderful producing cows
were found on the different farms
One of the cows on the r. T. Davis
farm near Weiser has a record of
over 25,0 pounds of milk in one
year with over 900 pounds of butter.
Translated into gallons, this COW has
produced an average of about 9 gal
Ions per day for 365 consecutive
days. The Intermountain Institute
at Weiser has cows weighing over
1900 pounds and practically every
breeder had something very choice to
show off. The trip was a liberal ed
ucation in cowdom and also resulted
in the purchase of five bulls which
were considered the tops in the large
inspected.
1t has been shown that breeding
up the dairy herd on the farm is the
safest way to improve the produc-
ton. A cow testing association will
shorten the route to improved herds
by removing the improbable cows,
while high class sires will raise the
production Of the daughters over
their dams. We need COW testing
and better sires to head
every dairy herd in the county.

SURPLUS WATER
SUPPLY AVAILABLE
Camas Reservoir Still Holds
Surplus Water After Ex-
tensive Irrigation
Season

According to w. J. Love, OF the
Mountain Home Cooperative Irriga-
tion District, there is now left in
the Camas Reservoir approximately
$500 acre feet Of water, which was
needed for the heavy irrigation sea-
son Of last summer and will make a
nice little start for next years sup
ply. Quite a contrast is noticeable
as a year ago, during the droughth
the reservoir was totally empty and
dry by the 10th OF June.
The rain OF last Monday evening,
when approximately one inch Of
moisture fell, augurs well for next
years supply as the ground on the
mountains and the snow shed in
general viii become heavily impreg-
mated with moisture and with the
freezing weather viii form an excel
lent base for the winters snowfall,
permitting the water to flow into the
reservoirs rather than soaking into
the dry soil

EXCITING STORY
BY BEAR HUNTER
Party Of Local Sportsmen
Return With Their Limit
Of Deer And One
Bear

A hunting party consisting OF r
H. Bennett, M. c. Helm, Billy Viii
son, Bert Tucker and W. L. Bach re
turned last Tuesday evening will
their cars laden with game. They
secured four deer and bear. All
members of the party reported many
deer in the woods and of course they
are easy to kill as is evidenced by
their kill. They were about twenty
five miles northwest of Atlanta in
exceptionally good hunting terri
tory and the fact that they secured
their limit adds no laurels to their
regulations as hunters.
Quite an exciting story is told by
NJ. C. Helm, the mighty hunter, who
slew his bear with his hands aided
by a large hunters knife. 1t seems
that Helm, who was looking for
other members of his party had got
ten off his horse and was sitting by
the side of the trail, VIXEN bruin,
who was not in the best mood at
tackled him and after a desperate
struggle in which his clothing was
torn from his body Helm was able to
kill the bear with his hunting knife.
The animal weighed, according to
Helm, about eight hundred pounds.
Another view point of the matter
as given by one in authority to know
is as follows: 1t seems that Helm
had stopped and gotten off his horse
and was resting when the bear came
along about three hundred yards
from him. He Immediately picked
up his gun and fired at the animal
and after a desperate run through
the undergrowth his clothing was
torn to shreds. After running about
a half mile Helm remembered that
he had left his horse tied to a tree
near the trail so he very carefully
ventured return to the scene and
upon his arrival he found that he
had killed a cub, weighing about
seventy-iye pounds, which b d
dropped in his tracks when the shot
was fired. We are more or less hesi-
tant in giving the grim details OF
this encounter to our readers, but
inasmuch as all of the members of
the party have enjoyed telling of the
experience long enough, we feel that
the public should be put fright" on
the matter.

CONCRETE BRIDGES

WHO KILLED
THE DEER?

James Kite and C. R. Wetherell,
both well known local sportsmen re-
turned last week end with two deer
in their possession. Both claim the
honors but as yet we have heard Of
no one who saw either of the gentle
men bag them and we are of the inn
preston that they hired a small boy
in the vicinity of Featherville to save
them from disgrace.
