Tastes in color of wood and finish
differ considerably, he finds. Former
ly the darker woods were popular In
recent years the lighter shades are in
greater demand, ladies and girls in
particular, preferring the dainty, light
color and finish with a pretty natur-
al wood grain effect, evenly matched
and connected.
Though a genius in this respect he
lays no claim to being expert with the
bow, nor does he make any pretense
at being a musician. He plays after a
Fashionable old-time quadrilles and
hoe-downs, and old-fashioned waltzes
but whenever he wishes to indulge
in this pastime he HES himself to his
workshop, short distance from his
coy home on the river bank, and
fiddles to his hearts content. This is
because of his wife's nervous DISPOSE
ton brought on by illness, and he
gladly makes this concession out of
consideration for her feelings and
wishes.
Peculiar as it may seem, of his s
children, three sons and five daugh-
tiers, none of them have taken to mu-
sic or violin playing, though they
have inherited to certain degree the
mechanical bent and ingenuity which
is such a marked characteristic of
the head of the family.-Jay M. Kay.

MAKING VIOLINS is
THIS MANS HOBBY

CASSVILLE-Using a StradlvaruS
as a model, young man conceived the
notion that he could make violin;
not one that would measure up to that
of the Old Master, of course, but an
instrument that would be useful and
servicible and give full satisfaction
to an amateur Having a natural lik-
ing and aptitude for the work the re-
suit of his efforts and skill was cred
table reproduction of the model, even
though crude and clumsy in COMPARE
son. But, he had made start. AND
what's more, he had gained confidence
in his ability
This was sixty years ago. The lad
was John Graybil1, resident of Cass-
Vile, who, though now in his 18th
year, is still making violins, not as a
regular profession, but more as hob
by, and for pastime and diversion. Al
though he has made hundreds of in
struments, he never specialized in this
work.
While he is a skilled woodWorker
his mechanical ability is not confined
alone to this craft. He is an expert
toolmaker and equally proficient ar the
anvil and forge, though of late years
he has found this work too strenuous
and devotes his time chiefly to violin
making, cabinet work and light car
pentry.
He not only selects and seasons his
own wood for the making of violins
but also makes his own vaTnlSh which
gives his instruments and cabinet
work a remarkably fine finish and ap-
pearance. Some of his violins have
brought as much as SIS, and one, fin
ished last winter which he considers
his best, will bring him twice that sum
from musician whose fame and rep
utation extend far beyond the borders
of his own state. He finds little diff
ficulty in disposing of his instruments,
although he has never resorted to pub
licity. In fact these lines may be con-
sidered the very first and only pub
Iicity which his skill in this respect
has ever received.

Cassrille Cemetery Association


At the annual meeting of the Cass-
vile Cemetery association held Tues
day evening, officers for a three-year
period were reelected as follows:
Pres, Miss Pauline A. Geiger; Treas,
Ralph H. Grimm. Besides accepting
the reports of both the secretary and
treasurer as submitted, an amendment
to the bylaws was adopted raising
the annual dues from $3.50 to $500,
necessitated by the growing cemetery
plot and the consequent additional
help required for its up-keep and
maintenance. The perpetual care fund
remained unchanged. A sexton is now
employed the year around and fire.
quently extra help is engaged in order
to keep the Silent City, in present
able condition.
BeetOWn Home Talent Play
A splendid crowd greeted the home

DONATION GIVEN
COOLING COLLEGE

Philanthropic individuals and or
CARNATIONS of the Inter-mountain
Empire are again doing their share
toward helping worthy young men
and women who are working their
way through Gooding College.
The latest gift, in the shaep of
four hundred-dollar loan scholar
ships came from Grace A. Ballantyne
and Sam Ballantyne, well-known to
Idaho citizens and pioneers, entire
ly without solicitation
Mrs Ballantyne first conceived the
idea and provided two scholarships.
Then her husband not to be out
done, promptly wrote his check for
the same amount, so two young men
as well as two young women will be
provided for as ofte mas the fund can
be made to revolye.
This year the awards will be made
to students who by two or more
years OF faithful study have proved
that they are fully worthy OF the
honor coferred upon them, and will
enable a number of Juniors and sem
Tors to finish their full college course
without break or interruption.
Accordin gto the plans worked out
by the donors and President Charles
Wesley Tenney, in addition to help
ing these young men and women this
year the money donated will serve
as a nucleus for a permanent schol-
arship fund that will keep pace with
the growth of this popular young in
stitution, which has made such a
splendid record since it was organ
lied only seven years ago.

But while there is absolute neces-
sity for youth initiative there is an
equal need for adult guidance, so we
have teachers and home women to
act as advisers for the clubs and In

rector OF the work.
This committee is also responsible
for raising the money necessary for
this work The total budget is So

as we raised il last year from individ-

organizations
We know you are interested in all

FIGHT AGAINST
SUBSTITUTES

The fight against butter substi-
tutes in Idaho has received a new
impetus through the organization
and support Of the Idaho Home In
dustries Association. according to
Norman B. Addison, managing secre-
tary Of that body OF boosters for
home products Farm bureaus, the
grange and several dairymens as
sociatioDs have been leading the
fight against substitutes of both but
ter and lard and some concerted ac-
ton Is promised for the rest OF the
time up until the next legislature
meets.
At recent address at a meeting of
the oranges of Ada and Canyon cOun-
ty Mr.. Addison outlined the stand of
the Idaho Home Industries Associa-
tion as being back Of all Idaho agri-
cultural products as well as its man
ufactured articles. He called atten-
ton to the lack of support OF beet
sugar in some sections regardless Of
the fact that hundreds of Idaho
homes depend upon the raising of
beets. He spoke especially of the flu
tility of paying freight on hogs from
Idaho back to Omaha and other
points and then paying freight on
Idaho-cured meats could be secured
the cured meat back to Idaho when
here at a lower price with quality
guaranteed by the home packer.
Attention has also been called to
Idaho canned goods which have in
the past few years made a reputa-
tion second to none in the entire ma
ton. Idaho canned corn. peas, to-
mo toac have a solid mack and a yvon-
derful quality. Idaho cider and vine
gar. Idaho pickles and honey also
have a most enviable reuutation. II
is evident that the demand for Ida
hos agricultural products will make
more permanent this most important
industry which develops more wealth
than all other industries combined
in idaho.
