London, April 80 lP--Queen Mary has now been cited by an expert of lhe perfect figure, as model of feminine grace. Mrs. Kathleen M. Bennett, speaking on the rules of health for the busy woman who wanted to keep healthy and beauti- ful, gave these hints: Sit well, stand we'll walk well and breathe well.
 Flew people knew how to stand correctly she said. If they did they would save themselves much pain energy and nerves. Queen Mary gave them a perfect example of how q woman should stand and sit. Her majesty had the secret of grace, dignity and elegance, and never allowed her shoulders 10 droop,"

IMPATIENcE FOR WEALTH

The newspapers tell us about this
or that person who earned big
amount of money in short time
through moving picture work, base
ball, football, etc.
Which tends to create little dis
content in the minds of some. They
contrast these glittering prizes with
their own hard struggle just to keep
a meager foothold in this slippery
world.
High rewards are paid to a GER
tain few who can amuse or arouse
the admiration of the public. The
actor who can make the people
laugh, may earn many times as much
as the statesman who confers bene-
fits on the whole nation and makes
an imperishable name in history.
win such contrasts disgust the
ordinary person with the slow and
patient processes of daily toll VIII
they incite him to branch out in
some risky speculation or hazardous
adventure, hoping to find some short
and easy cut, avoiding that long,
steep, and roundabout path to the
City of Gold?
1t is we'll to reflect that the win
ners of these sensational prizes us
ually gained them because they had
learned to GO some eEs thing sur
nsssiiaasg.,,y well. They put their
whole energy into that one effort.
The average person can not
achieve any sensational success. But
that same determination to do some
one thing surprisingly well, will
give him a long boost ahead on that
toilsome path.
The City of Gold is not the only
place where people can find happy
home. Many who have gone there
say it isn't so much after all They
claim there are as many troubles
there as anywhere. Most OF the fun
was in getting there, but once they
reached the town. they say it seemed
to be a pretty dull old kind of a
burg.
And they do say, that along the
old rough path that looks so dusty to
most of us, there are beautiful
haunts of friendship and love, with
sweet music and the laughter of
children.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION

1t has been two years now since
the Fourth of July was celebrated in
this community, and this statement
does not in any wise reflect upon the
patriotism of the citizens of Noun
tain Home. We gave way last year
to other communities and the time Is
ripe now for real rousing celebra7
ton in Mountain Home. The last
celebration held here was bang-up
and the business men of the town
proved that they knew how to handle
such an affair, 1t is none too early
to begin plans for a celebration here
next July.

SPRING CLEANUP

Many towns come through the
winter looking like the boy who
comes to the table with his hair all
tousled. Father tells him he must
exercise the hair brush before he is
allowed to sit down with the family
Or such towns might remind us of
the man who hasn't had his hair
cut for a couple of months nor
shaved for week.
Unsightly spots are problem in
most towns. Public sentiment in
Mountain Home and elsewhere
clings to the idea that the individ-
ual shall have the right to manage
his own property. But our patience
is sorely tried If some neighbor al
lows his home to become disorderly
or decadent. His carelessness costs
the whole neighborhood something,
perhaps the whole town. Such sit
uations call for a remedy.
But as public spirit advances peo-
pie come to see that it is good BUSH
ness to clean up disorderly spots, to
trim the weedy whiskers off their
land, and give their seedy looking
buildings a Saturday night bath of
clean paint Towns that take hold
Of spring cleanup with enthusiasm
feel afterward like the man who has
paid the long deferred visit to the
barber shop.

in your live wire paper his brother
Charles herewith encloses 1t. Just
as it was posted, the original has dis
appeared long ago, at the Summit
Cabin on Bald Mountain, the half
way stopping place between the
above named places. This is one of
the most noted scenic roads in Idaho.
If your blooming luck should land
you here
On your feet or on your ear
There are some things you ought to
know.
If there is some dozen feet of snow
DO not curse and stomp and frown,
Nor burn this poor old cabin down.
For here many have warmed their
feet,
Made pots of coffee and fried their
meat,
Many a native of this land
Has found this dear old cabin mighty
grand
And in Memory of souls that have
fed.
Brave fighting ones that now are
dead
Touch not this grand old shack,
Desecrate not with pillage and with
rack,
Let it hold its virtues and its sins,
For life leaves off where death be-
gins.

Sour skimmilk in addition to

DAIRYING
F. w. Atkeson
Successful dairying depends on
two factors, the COW and the man
who takes care of her. Neither can
do much without the hearty cooper
alton of the other The COW must
have inherent ability to produce
large amounts of milk. The man must
provide feed in abundance and must
care for the cow in such a way that
she can utilize it to best advantage.
Good dairymen with good cows
make good money. Don't keep bad
COWS. BE sure however, that it isn't
your fault instead of the cows that
you send her to the bologna factory.
PLANT DISEASE
c. w. Hungerford
After application of wet seed treat
ments do not allow the grain to
come in contact with floors, ma
chinery or sacks which have not
been disinfected with the disinfect-
ing solution. Sow as soon after treat
ment as possible, as grain which
stands after treatment is liable to
be injured unless thoroughly dried.

CoNY FACES FAST
CLUB ON WILLIAMS
FIELD SATURDAY

Bill divers splendid exhibition Of
hurting did not hurt the commence
of Morse High in the least for the
coming game with Cony at Williams
field tomorrow. The big Morse
twirler held Westbrook, last years
Telegram League champs, to two
earned runs, yielded five hits and
whitfield seven of the heavy hitting
crew from the Paper City. Oliver
will essay the iron man stunt anu
climb on to the mound for the sec
ond time within four days tomorrow
and attempt to duplicate his stunt
against Cony. Two games in four
days for one pitcher didn't used to
be such a stunt in the old days b
there aren't SO many of them doing
it now.
Morse didn't trim Westbrook. In
stead they were sent home on the
short end of a g. score, but play
ing against a championship team
which has on it's roster Husky Aube.
who is good enough to travel in
the fastest company in sen1i-pro ball
in the state and a team which works
faultlessly behind this big hurler,
Morse gave a good exhibition in her
first appearance of the year. The
Shipping City club played good ball
and several new men on the team
received their first session on the
firing line and naturally the new
men didn't thrive on the offerings
of Husky Aube, who has a most I'M
comfortable habit of keeping them
sizzling and on the inside corner of
the plate.
Lapidus. with faultless control
and less speed than Aube, may not
prove so awe inspiring to the visit
ors. Having faced Aube the Morse
team will not have the same fear
against Lapidus. Nevertheless the
visitors will have to work to nick
the Red and White hurler's offerings
with anything approaching regular
ity. The Babe with a veteran team
working behind him and club
which has been hitting them hard
and often in practice should shine
| against the Shipping City. Fletcher,
his battery mate, caught Lapidus'
slants last year and will perform be-
hind the plate tomorrow. Fletcher
is possessed with a good peg and
should keep the Morsemen from
running wild on the bases. With
Oliver and Lapidus, both recognized
as stellar slab artists, the game
should be one of the best dueIs of
/ the year in high school circles. The
game will start promptly at ) P. NJ.
and Jack McDonough will call the
balls and strikes.

Augusta to meet the Cony High nine in
the opening clash of the two teams,
while Wednesday Cony will be seen
in action at Bath. After their fine
showing against last seasons Tele-
gram League champs the Bath fans
are expecting a whole lot from Morse
in the Kennebec Valley League this
season.
At Nestbrool. Billy Oliver allowed
but two earned runs and whitfield seven
batters in six innings, allowing but
five hits, Three runs filtered over the
plate on passed balls by the inexpe-
rienced Morse catcher. But it was the
kids first game behind the bat and
after that one bad inning he held Oil
yer in fine style and in the third STAN
"a the Morse pitcher flannel the only
three men to face him. There is no
doubt but what Oliver is the goods,
and any pitched that can turn in a
performance like that against a team
of Westbrook's calibre is slated to go
a long ways in the Kennebec Valley
League. The big boy will be on edge
for the Cony duel.
