LITTLE PRAIRIE
NAMPA, Sept 28-Folks here are happy once again trying to complete the harvest after two weeks of inclement weather and feel fortunate not to have bad the snow reported in some districts. Chins up, folks, remember that old saying to complete this harvest: “When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that’s just the place and the time that the tide will turn.”

RENO
RENO, Oct. 3- The old saying “I read it in the paper it must be right” caused lots of arguments here with the changing of the time October 1, children arriving to start school at 7 o’clock and insisting it was 9 because papa said so the ones who came at 10 and were late insisted it was 9. No one knowing what time it was for sure the kids got off scott free right or wrong.
