NATIONAL MUSIC
WEEK IN MAY
National Music Week Offers
Excellent Opportunities
For Appreciation of
Music

The third annual observance OF
National Music Week will be from
May 2 to May 8, 1926.
Remarkable has been the growth
of the Music Week Movement since
it became nationalized in the form
of a simultaneous oh ervan n C e
throughout the country. The first
National Music Week, May 4-10,
1924, was the elimination of the in
dividual Music Weeks previously held
at different times in about $50 cities
One of the purposes of Music
Week is to make known as widely as
possible the truths as to the salutary
effects of music and to enable thou
sands of people to hear good music
who either have not yet developed
the test for it, or who cannot usually
afford to hear it.
Another purpose of Music Week
is to advance America still further
along the road towards making it a
musical nation.
Women's organizations are among
those that have been most greatly
helped by music in the past. In all
their future work of promoting COM
munity life and better citizenship,
music will be of the greatest assist
ance.
Music Week offers us an excellent
opportunity to help spread the ap-
probation of music more widely
among the people of this city. Let
us cooperate by arranging for special
musical attractions for that week.

Idaho's rural homes are relative
ly more modern than the average
rural homes in the United States, ac-
cording to a survey just completed
by the national general federation OF
womens clubs.
A letter received by Miss Marian
E. Hepworth, state leader of home
demonstration, from Mrs. Mary Sher-
man, president of the General Fed
Grafton, states that Idaho ranked
sixth among the 48 states in the sur
yey. in which the amount of and
Improvement in home equipment was
compared to similar figures for farm
equipment.
Among the home factors consid-
cred in making the comparison,
were: electricity, water supply,
household equipment, pianos and
other musical instruments, library
facilities, and automobiles.
Idaho homes were found to be par
ticulariy well equipped with good IL
braries. musical instruments, and
with sanitary and electrical improve
ments, as compared with the general
average of the country.

MAY 1 TO s TO
BE BOYS WEEK

The National Boys Week Commit
tee, which numbers among its mem
bers distinguished men from all
walks of life, has designated May
1st to May Sth as Boys Week. A
program for each day of that week
has been arranged for the purpose
of showing each community not only
its obligations to the boys, but also
its opportunity to serve our future
citizenship. The success of Boys
Week is assured if all citizens and all
organizations engaged in boy well
fare work will extend their active
cooperation.
Youth is the structure upon which
the future rests. That structure will
be weak or strong as we develop the
spirit of loyalty and devotion in the
youth of the nation. This is a re-
sponsibility and an obligation of
each generation and it is well for
the commonwealth as a whole to
think for at least one week in. terms
of the boy, his needs and his future,
for his future is the future of the
world.
BY instilling in the minds and
hearts of the younger generation an
abiding love and admiration for
American ideals and institutions and
a realization of the responsibilities
and obligations as well as the pri-
vileges of citizenship, many organ
izations and institutions are doing
work of inestimable value to the
stability and moral standards of the
nation.

was appointed a deputy sheriff un-
der Sheriff c. w. Burns. In the

REMARKED AFTER
HALF A CENTURY
Host of Friends Surprise
Mr.. and Mrs. E. j. Col
thorp on Golden Wedding
Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Colthorp cele-
brated their fiftieth wedding ami
versary at the Baptist church on
Tuesday evening, April 81. A host
of their old friends and acquainten-
ces gathered at the church at s
o'clock and waited there until some
of their children lured them away
for ride and landed them at the
church where the crowd standing
on the church steps saluted them
with a hail to the bride and bride
groom.
The elderly couple were soon seat
ed in the place of honor with MI
and Mrs. Nels Smith acting as
bridesmaid and best man. Mrs. w.
A. Day struck up the wedding march
when Mrs. Isam, their daughter OF
Boise, led them across the hall to
face Rev. ]. L. Taylor of the Bap-
tise church, supported by Rev. G. 3.
Mason of the Congregational church.
Rev. Taylor performed the fol-
lowing appropriate ceremony:
We are informed in Holy Writ
that; "In the beginning, God Gre
ated man and in His own likeness
and image and placed him in the
Garden of Eden to keep it and to
dress it. But God saw that it was
not good for man to be alone; so
causing a deep sleep to fall upon
him, He took from his body bone,
of which He made woman to be
an helpmeet for him. God took not
the bone from his head that she
sht dominate and rule over him
nor from his foot that he might
trample upon her affections; but
from his side that she might stand
by his side and be truly helpmeet
for him" Thus you see that mar
riage is of Divine appointment.
Thus, knowing these things as ye
well do and having some slight ac-
quaintance with each others whims
and off spells, are you, and each of
you willing to continue this re-
lation to the last ditch? If so,
please join your right hands.
Mr. Colthorp, do you solemly
to haunt the place where this lady
stays, furnishing the necessary food,
shelter and raiment to make the
place fairly comfortable, and as
much as possible, to avoid snoring;
