Chester Palmer arrived night, and Mr. and Mrs. Will Palmer were thus made happy. Chester was in time to attend the 50th wedding anniversary of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Anderson. Chester entered the war about the time the kaiser got sassy with the United States and stayed by until the kaiser hunted for cover. He was In the war zone for eight months and was at the front for seven months. He landed at Newport News, Va., on the return trip March L2th, or 14 days after he left France. Boise b izing The time pure Monday THE BOULEVARD AND A MEMORIAL FOR SOLDIERS Meridian, Idaho. Editor Times; Complying with your request for an expression relative to the rebuilding and otherwise improv ing the state highway through Mer x idian as a memorial to the boys of our community who made the sup sàcrifice in the past war, will rente say : By all means let's make a boule vard something instead of the hog wallow we UaVe had out of Merid ian's share of the state highway.. If the tax payers of Meridian were buncoed in not getting value received^ for the. money exepnded in the Origi nal construction this is not a good effort should be made to better the plight in which we now find ourselves. Had Jonah reconciled himself to the predicament in which he found himself after being swal lowed up by the whale and had made effort to free himself, he likely would be there yet but we can imag ine that Jonatj's efforts fo free Utm ÿif wpre as though they meant file or death. Meridian should he no less energetic In freeing herself from a predicament that may mean life or death to her continuing on the state highway. To Meridian, view it from whatever angle you may, the highway is a com mercial necessity. So let's off with our coats and up with our sleeves and put our share of the. highway In a condition that will he a credit to our town and a joy to ourselves. It is only natural that a community that has contributed ti the success of the past war (in lives) as has Mer idian, should have a desire and long ing to do something to show and to perpetuate its appreciation. In the kindest spirit possible, I wish to state that some communities seem to be overzealous in their anxiety to erect what seemingly to them, would be a suitable and appropriate memorial, but which, to my mind, to an extent, tends to commercialize the sacred ness of the memory of oi(r beloved dead Personally, and as «ne whose hqme KÄWÄ for to see just one tree planted and cured for on some community center ground, such as school or church, or ÄböreSrs."»"^ mile of trees planted and the finest possible boulevard constructed, In commemoration of loved ones. By all means let's have the boulevard or at least maintain the highway in a cred itable matter, but let us do it from a commercial standpoint and because It j ts a commercial necessity. [Very Sincerely, • reason no H- 1 T. M. HASHJ1ARGER. EDITORIAL MENTION. These changes may be all right hut our old clock is rather uncertain anyway—and we have nearly worn it out shifting gears. Kuna is to have a co-operative creamery. It is planned to take over the Avëlon creamery—a private con cern. It will be built so that either butter or cheese can be manufact ured. "We recognize no creed in this country which exalts the loafer over the toiler, or puts the ignorant and shiftless on a par with the educated and ambiti'ous," says George Harvey. This is fine, and should be adopted by every governing body in the Uni ted States. This is^ a queer time— dispatches say the kaiser may get off without prosecution—except being branded as the arch criminal of the century; petitions are being circulated to free the slackers from the jails—and to-day germany says she will hot sign the peace terms unless certain con cessions are given. Queer, isn't it. ,Geo. E. Atwater, who is on the Commercial club committee, says there are two major events for Boise, the Victory loan demonstration on the 24th and 25th of April and the big Fourth of July celebration in honor of our soldier boys. At both there will be an exhibition of air plane flights, alBO anti-air craft guns, etc. Reports come from the Modern Woodman special head camp .meeting at Chicago, stating that a 50 per cent raise will be made on the beneficiary assessments beginning July 1st. The raise, must first be ratified by the membership.While it has been desired that the rate be kept low, the order is up against the proposition of rais ing the rates for more revenue to pay death losses. Remember the meeting of the Boise Valley Holstein Cattle men will b held in Meridian Monday evening, March 31 for the purpoes of organ izing a Holstein breeders cattle club. The purpose of the club will be to further the interests of Holstein breeders in buying cooperatively and disposing of their surplus cattle. A Jersey club was organized a short time ago and since organizing thirty pure bred Jerseys have been brought into'the valley.AH owners of Holstein cattle are urged to be present.
