CAPITALISTS TO
VISIT PROJECT
General Hayes Interests
Eastern Capital In Mt.
Home -Sunnyside
Project

According to news recently receiv-
ed here General S. II. Hayes, Of
Boise, has interested eastern capital
in the proposed Mountain Home
sunnyside project and with these
men will visit the site Of the project
on May 18th 1t is the plan Of Cen
eral Hayes to bring water from Stan
ley Basin for the irrigation of 1885,
900 acres of land lying in this i'm
mediate vicinity
Mr.. Hayes has always been quite
prominently identified with irriga-
ton projects and his latest achieve
ment was the financing of the Twin
Falls project and local people are
looking forward othe successful
conclusion of his latest plan. He has
made very exhaustive surveys and
water measurements on this propo-
sitiOn and even two years ago when
such a water shortage existed it was
found that there would have been
sufficient water from the STANLEY
Basin to answer the needs of this
section. It is understood that the
men who are associated with Mr..
Hayes have gone over his plans
thoroughly and are more or less sat
isfed with their feasibility but de-
sire a closer knowledge Of the ac-
tual condition and this has resulted
in their coming visit.

PROPOSE LOCAL
EXCHANGE CLUB
Mountain Home Business
Men Become Interested
In Establishment Of
Exchange Club

During the past week an organic
er of the Exchange Club has been
interviewing local business people
with the idea of establishing a
branch of the national civic club in
this city and at last reports he was
progressing nicely with his project.
The Exchange Club should prove
especially beneficial to Mountain
Home inasmuch as it was through
the Exchange Club of Boise, that S.
H. Hayes is interesting eastern cap
italists in the Stanley Basin project,
which would furnish water for this
section of the state. In addition to
this feature Mountain Home is sore
ly in need of some sort of civic or
ganization which will make known
to the outside the advantages of this
section as we'll as protecting our
own rights in the establishment of
highways and many other problems
which confront a community of this
sort.
1t is indeed gratifying to note the
number of local business men who
are taking an interest in the organ
ization and it is hardly expected
that any business house in the com
munity will so far neglect its duty
to the community as to permit it
self to be classed as Stacker and
allowing it's neighbors to perform its
civic duties for it.
The local post of the American
Legion, at their meeting last Mon
day evening passed a resolution en-
dorsing the Exchange Club and
showed their confidence in the or
ganization by taking out member
ship and appointing Elmore often
heimer as a representative.
The local business men will be the
guests of the Exchange Club this
evening at eight o'clock at the
STANDARD Hall A number of speak
ers from Boise have beer. secured for
the occasion, among them being Cen
eral S. H. Hayes, H. G. Meyers, sec
retary of the Boise, Exchange;
Arthur Frazier, vice president and
Claude Gibson, president of the
Boise organization; Harry Lawson,
editor of the Capital News and A. J.
Priest, attorney for the Idaho Power
Company.

eliminating the smallest precinct vote
each time after the third vote was
rejected. Then the vote was on the
the question of removal resulted in
% to IA in favor of removal. This
should have been of course equiva-
lent to eliminating any votes for Sill
yer City.
The first vote showed six for
Guny. There is no such place. Riya
is a platform on the Murphy branch
listed in the directory Of the o. s. L.
folders and It is referred TO as just a
platform in table So but is not found
in that table. It is just a platform
and no house there or in the imme-
diate vicinity Then began the vot-

taken. There were always four or
five votes for this place but from the
first Grand View had Seventeen and
after Bruneau had fulfilled the in
structions Of their convention Grand

vention vote, Bruneau coming loyal
ly to the support of her neighbor.
The entire east half of the county
stood for Grand View which is only
one mile from the north and south
center line of the county. To this
was added also the loyal support OF

came evident that there would be no

The best remedy is self-compulsion.
Force yourself to do daily the thing

Why are the first three Gospels
called the Synoptics?
And what is the difference between
their portrait Of Jesus and that given
by the fourth Gospel?
AnSWer.-The title SynOptlc IS de-
rived from the Greek term synoptikos,
meaning seeing together" and is
given to the Gospels of St. Mark, st.
Matthew and st. Luke because they
treat the person and life of Jesus from
the same general point of view.
Taking the Synoptic Gospels as they
stand, their writer's do not essentially
differ from the fourth Gospel in their
estimate of Jesus. He is for all of
them the Son of God in an entirely
unique sense, and also the Savior of
the world
The fourth Gospel has by far the
most majestic category for Jesus. Its
author portrays Him as the Eternal
Word of the Father. moving out OF
eternity into time. and, having com.
pleted His divine manifestation to
man, returning again where time is
not.

Congress Is Not Dismayed.

PHILADELPHIA, September II,
1776.-Undisturbed by the disasters
which have overtaken the Army and
resulted in the loss of Long Island
and New York, Congress is going
courageously about it's business from
day to day. Several weeks ago states
men here were saying that If the
King s military and naval forces were
to take New York and gain control of
Hudsons River. the war would he
about over, with little hope left for
further resistance by the Cnlted
States.
But today, with New York lost and
Hudson's River open to the enemy,
Congress adopts plans for proposing
treaty with France which tells
France on what terms she may make
an alliance with the United States II
she wishes, and at the same session
Congress receives calmly the report
of it's members who recently called
upon Lord Howe and have come back
to report that there is nothing In
Howes peace proposal that America
can accept with dignity and honor.
A smaller matter, yet slgnlncant
one as to the state of mind in Con
gress, is today's action in commencing
Gen. Washington for the tongue-lash'
ing which the general has given to
Lord Drummond. a British prisoner
of war. This DrummOnd had violated
his parole and then sought a pass for
travel through the States on some
pretext The general had told him
that his course was thoroughly dlS-
honorable and had denied him the
pass. Congress now approves the
generals course. 1t handles his lord
ship. the representative of his Majesty
| the King. Just as it would handle any
other common enemy.
To France Congress plans to say
| that treaty with France would be
agreeable to America provided France
| leaves America entirely free to estab-
lish her independence. That there
may be no question as to this when
| the war ends, Congress proposes that
France engage in a separate war with
England with this point clearly un-
derstood in advance. Furthermore.

quite herself when she was alone with
him. II was at times like these that
she felt he really belonged to her. She
would sit curled up at the end of the
couch and he would put his head in
her lap and talk. She loved to hear
him speculate about the wonderful
future they would have together, and
no matter how eXtraVagant his talk,
she always believed everything he
said, although she didn't always un-
derstand the terms he used.
Once she asked him what his bust
ness was. He had been telling her
about a valuable tip that had come
his way and that he expected to
make some money through it. and At
The seriousness of her question and

Clues to Character
The Translucent Ear.
BY ]. o. ABERNETHY.

The ear is a very sensitive organ
and it is certain that if it is well
formed without, so will 1t be within.
Attention to the ear must not be
overlooked il one would read an In
dividual. The more delicate the ear
the higher the quality of the one who
wears it and the better adapted to
hearing and to music will this organ
be.
Refined and cultivated persons In
variably possess large, thin. trans
lucent ears which are broad. prom1-
nent, we'll formed and symmetrical.
Ears of this Kind are indicative of
love for music and a keen apprecia-
ton and sensitiveness to sounds.
Those who are noted for their
memory and music ability have large
ears. The small-eared individual
never takes any medals as a musician.
He often suffers from deafness in late
middle life.
Ears that are small narrow and mis-
shapen. or ones that seem crumpled
or crashed. are signs of defective
music ability and poor memory for
things heard. We refer to the natural
formation OF the ear, not what might
be the result OF an accident. The
more harmonic the ear the more use
full it will be for all purposes.
