MRS. HATHAWAY HERE

Mrs. Maggie Smith Hathaway,
head of the Children's bureau OF
the state, was here on business to-
day, investigating a case at the
invitation of county officials. The
revival of the whipping post as a
deterrent for crime is endorsed by
Mrs. Hathaway as a means of
dealing with people who cannot
be reached in any other way.
"There are people who pay no at
tention to fines, to whom a Jail
sentence does not mean anything,
but let them feel the sting of the
lash across their shoulders, and
they will become better citizens.
New Jersey has gone back to the
post and has reduced
crime one half in that state"

VARIETY IN E

Everyone gets tired of eating
the same kind of bread day after
day. Introduce variety by having
whole wheat, graham, or rye
bread once in a while; sweet
breads, such as %raisin, date, nut
or coffee ring; quick breads like
mullins and biscuits, crisp breads,
including toast, crackers, or bread
sticks.

WHEAT PLANTED
BY LOCAL FARMERS
Most Of The Farmers Of
This Section Plant
Acreage To
Wheat

Despite the fact that a short water
year is inevitable in this section To-
cal farmers are planting a large
acreage of wheat and all are more or
less confident that sufficient water
will be available for the maturing of
the crop. The fact that the farmers
are gradually getting away from al
falfa raising will most assuredly
help them and indirectly help the
community as the market price for
the hay crop is generally low and in
many instances the crop cannot be
sold at all. A little more attention
being paid to chicken raising togeth-
er with dairying should make for
prosperity for the farmer and the
community at large.
While the indications at the reser-
voirs are not for the best Mother Ma
ture sometimes plays queer antics
and it may yet be possible that the
late spring rains coupled with the
amount of water now in storage may
bring to maturity bumper crop of
grains of all sort on the local pro-
ject.

BEANS DO WELL
ON DRY LAND

j. G. Moore, prominent Dixie dis
trict farmer, recently reported the
results of an experiment he made
with Montana northern white beans
on dry land last year Twenty
pounds of seed was furnished him
last spring by f. d. stover of this
city for the experiment and from
this amount he was able to harvest
200 pounds Of beans. Mr.. Moore
stated that he believes if he had
sowed the seed on small patch OF
ground that he would have gotten bet
ter results for te reason where the
beans we're far apart they grew
largely to stalks. He stated that he
considered the experiment success
and is of the belief that this variety
of bean would be fine crop for ro-
tating with wheat on the type Of
dry land there is in this section

PEOPLE SHOW
INTEREST IN CLUB
Local Residents Anxious
That Commercial Club
Function and Propose
Projects

A good response was received last
week from the Commercial Club cou-
pons which were published in a re-
cent issue of the Republican, a num-
Der of the coupons have been mailed
to A. f. Anderson, secretary of the
organization. A number of local
business men, who did not mail in
their coupons have verbally ex-
pressed themselves as being very an
xious to have the organization ac-
tive.
The greatest number of residents
favor the Bruneau-Nevada road as
the most essential project that could
be undertaken by the club and
among other suggestions were the
establishment of more pleasant trade
relationships with our neighboring
towns, adjustments of insurance
rates and other items too numerous
to mention.
1t is realized by everyone that the
existence of a Commercial Club is
absolutely dependent upon the in
terest shown by the residents of
community and it is hoped that when
the newly elected officers of the To-
cal club take affairs in charge that
the entire community will be back
of them and show their appreciation
of their efforts by a regular attend
ance at all meeting and take an ac-
tive part in the affairs of the Noun
tain Home Commercial Club. 1t is
the dilatory attitude of local busi-
ness men that is causing much of
the trade from outlying districts to
go right through Mountain Home and
on to Boise and it is the purpose of
the local club to correct this situa-
tion as far as possible by co-operat- !
ing with our neighbors and aiding
them in their enterprises and offer
them trading center that will at
tract their business to this city.

YOUNG men IN
JUSTICE COURT
-Four Young Men Tried On
Charge Of Stealing
Pelts Last Tues
day

A trio of young men Of high school
age, were hailed into the court of
Justice of The Peace A. f. Downs last
Tuesday morning on charge of
stealing about twenty-eight sheep
pelts from the premises OF James
Christian. The boys were arrested
last Saturday night and spent the
time from then until Tuesday morn
ing in the county Jail. When asked
for their plea each confessed to the
crime and after a thorough lecture
at the hands Of Mr.. Downs were told
that they would be further confined
in the county jail until such time as
they had paid for the costs of the
suit together with reimbursing Mr..
Christian for his loss which will
amount to approximately ffty-six
dollars.
The fourth member OF the crowd,
who not yet being over eighteen years
Of age was tried in the Probate Court
Tuesday afternoon before Judge
Manion. This youngster also plead
guilty to the charge and was placed
under the probation Of the court and
told TO reimburse the owner Of the
stolen property.
Petty thieyery has been going on
quite premiscously in this commun-
ity for the past several months and
while IL could not be traced 1t is
high time that boys be given to un-
derstand that they should respect
another mans property and to real
ize that to violate this law may land
them either in the state prison or
in the state industrial school II they
have not reached the age of eighteen
years. Many complaints have been
turned in of late TO local officers re-
questing the return Of stolen prop
erty and the experience of these
boys should prove an object lesson
to others Of the community who are
thusly inclined
