GEORGE CROW FOUND
AT MOUNTAIN HOME

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. S. Crow were
made happy Saturday over the re-
turn of their son, George, age 16,
who was brought home Saturday
from Mountain Home. Without the
knowledge of his parents he left
home five months ago and had not
been heard of since, causing his
mother much worry. Every effort
had been made to locate him but he
evidently Travelled too fast for those
in search of him, stopping only a
few days in each place in order to
earn enough to go further on, says
the Gooding Leader.
Shortly after leaving here he met
Clarence Leigh, age 20. on freight
train near Motello, Nevada, and they
Immediately became pals. Leigh had
been wandering over the country
since he was ten years of age. They
travelled over parts of Oregon, Wash
ington, California, Utah, Nevada,
and Idaho, and when located at
Mountain Home were en- route to
American Falls where they expected
to find work. When questioned
George said that he was sightseeing
and did not know that his parents
were worrying. He expects to finish
the year in high school here, where
he is Junior.

MOTOR TOURING
UP TO DRIVER

A mans motoring is exactly what
he makes it.
Many people never have time tc
take care of their cars because they
never want to be bothered with any
task that might benefit the car.
That explains why they seldom
reach the class of car they desire to
own. The motorist who makes his
motoring first class, regardless of
the grade of car he owns, stands to
make such savings in depreciation as
are necessary to enhance the value
he will have to trade in as part pay
ment for new car.
Motoring is as the motorist does.
It can be all confusion and conges-
ton, or contentment and simplicity
Whatever one wants to make it.
Some drivers experience great diff
fculty finding parking spaces. These
are the people who find life in gen
eral hard.
Parking spaces are limited very
much as there is a limit to happiness
and fame The people who make
their own happiness seem to know
how to find their own parking
spaces.
The road hog thinks everybody
else is, roadhoggish. The speeder
thinks everybody else is counting
trouble. The sort Uf motoring one
in depends verg largely up
on ones state of mind.
Motoring is healthful, useApl and
economical to large number o. peo-

THE GRAVE ABOVE PINE
(Guy Fitch Phelps)

(Guy Fitch Phelps)
Sad cliffs which rise above noun
tain meadow;
Soft-folded banks, o'ergrown with
wind-fower sweet;
A hermit pine which casts lonely
Shadow;
A little trail cut down by timid feet;
The music of the wind through hem
locks stealing
Mournfully and sweet.
A wistful light upon the whispering
holly;
A grleving sound in Bosses rushing
wave;
Remoteness and the spell of meIan-
choly,
And tall. pale grass around name
less grave;
Silence, and the ashes of a fire
Their deeper sadness gave.
Ask not the secret of the thing Ger
taken,
The mangled form, the sudden dying
moan;
The trusting heart, now broken and
forsaken;
The breast which bleeds It's starless
grief alone;
A mystery this grave, the heart, the
weeping
Which never can be known.

TURKEYS AND CORN
IN GRAND VIEW


Mrs. Jensen Of Grand View came
in Monday evening on business at
the Probate judges office, returning
the following morning to her home
in the valley
Mrs. Jensen is a member and an
officer of the Turkey Growers Asso-
citation and marketed three hundred
and twnty birds from her own flock
this fall and winter She has some
fine birds and is striving to bring
her flock up to the highest standard.
She is also working to interest others
in this industry and her motto is "a
carload of turkeys from Grand View
Valley next fall"
Mrs. Jensen stated, also that quite
a lot of corn was raised in the val
ley during the year just closed, Mr..
Jensen having harvested six thou
sand bushels Of this cereal The
yield in the valley is about sixty
bushels and tests have demonstrat-
ed that this Idaho corn contains less
moisture than that of Nebraska or
Illinois.
Purebred hogs are being intro
duced into the valley, the visitor
stated. to fatten on the fine alfal-
ia and corn grown there, and the
valley will soon be marketing its
crops in finished dairy products and
on the hoof-Owyhee Avalanche.

viewing the wonderful sight, their
Ford which had been left unhitched,
with the engine running, decided it
was not getting a fair deal and came
TOO close to the edge and took a nose
dive into the canyon It is claimed
that it is entirely destroyed except
the castings
When we consider that this Ford
fell about 600 feet we are inclined
to think that even an automobile
would have been slightly damaged.

WATER PUMP
CLEARS HOLE

Very often when the radiator
drain cock is opened water will not
run out at the start. This is due to
the collection of sediment at the
drain. OF course this sediment can
be dislodged by inserting a match,
stick or nail up the drain opening,
but the handiest way of starting the
water running is to run the engine
fast for few minutes.
