Throughout former years eminent
physicians have declared that undue
precosity in young people Is harmful,
but having carefully looked into the
case of the Seniors of the w. H. S.
and examined their remarkable physi-
cal. mental and moral strength, with
one accord have changed their opin-
ions.
Miss Edith Simon, who had the
honor of being selected as class poet
ess, acquitted herself with honor last
night with the following reverie> of
her class relations:
One bright morning as strolled down
The shady street of my old college
town,
My heart returned to the springtime
of youth,
When the soul overflows and rejoices
in truth.
The heavens declared Gods glory
above,
The earth was filled with his wisdom
and love;
The songs of the birds and the flowers
in bloom,
home
I thought of the mountains so lofty
and grand,
The rivers that wind their way
through the land,
The marvellous canyon, with spring
water ice cold,
The grass, the forests, the minerals
untold
My reverie ran on; I thought of the
OF my hopes, my ambition, while
childhood did last.
Of those happy, joyous schoolgirl
days,
Before we parted in lifes different
ways.
For many fleeing years had passed
away.
Since that nineteen nine graduation
day.
Our education then was not complete,
For we had life's problems yet to
meet.
Not finished our education, but just
begun,
Was the motto upheld by every one
| Of that unexcelIed class of nineteen
nine,
Who tried all others to outshine
On I wandered to the waters edge,
where the waves rising up sweep DER
the ledge,
And the proud sea gulls went circling
by.
Sending far in the distance their
piercing cry.
The water was certainly a beautiful
/ sight.
With its dark blue surface against the
| bright light.
The beach was utterly deserted. ex-
cept
At the farther end a fruit stand was
/ kept.
AS 1 drew near, to my surprise,
I beheld apples of wondrous size;
] Could I forget from whence they
came.
Those apples which had won such
worldwide fame.

Interurban Officials Here

Superintendent Dalton of the
Boise Interurban electric railroad,
Thomas McKaig. secretary-treasur-
er of the same company, and his
son of Pittsburg. Pa. were Emmett
visitors Tuesday, making the trip
in an automobile. From here they
went over the bench and on down
the valley to New Plymouth. Pay
ette and Weiser. Whether their
mission has any significance could
not be learned. But it is quite
probable it has. 1t is we'll known
that the next extension of the In
terurban will be to Emmett; the
officials make no secret of that.
From here the line will 60 to
Weiser. The fact that the route of
this party was along the proposed
line from this city to Weiser would
indicate that the electric line peo-

Sweet Fragrance

A fide along the roads at this
time of year brings to the nose
treasures of fragrance from the
swaj1ng stems of the blossoming
sweet clover. The aromatic incense
which fills the air was remarked bv
the bankers who were the city's
guests Saturday. Wherever it has
been possible to keep a root hold
the sweet clover is blossoming now,
drenching the air with delicious
odors, from the banks of irrigation
ditcl1es, along uncared for road
WAYS and IN broad stretches of
meadow land. 1t is a feast for the
nostrils that has no equal in any
cline and rivals in fragrance the
rose and the honeysuckle that riot
in the yards of nearly every farm
house and city residence.

Aged Couple Stranded

Stranded in the city without
friends and with his aged and in
firm wife and little grandson, an
old man appealed to the police for
help, says the Wallace Times.
The man and wife and little boy
left Childers, Tex, last Monday
bound for Emmett. Idaho, where
they have two sous living, who
are in moderate circumstances and
to whom they were going for the
hand of protection in their old age.
Instead of being routed over the
Idaho Northern railway, which is
short line running from Nampa
to Emmett, they were routed over
the Idaho Northern road, which
resulted in their coming to this
place where they discovered that
they were without means to proceed
further on their journey. Tickets
were provided by the depot agent
and the old people proceeded on
their journev.

IT WAS A FAST GAME.
Nampa Takes Big End of a
3 to o Contest.

One earned run, four errors and
two safe hits gives an idea of the
quality of ball that was PLAYED

Of the three runs credited to the
] JUNCTION City lads, only one was
earned and that was in the eight
inning, when with a clean two
bagger Eddie Corbin drove in Her

made in the seventh on rrrors.
Mcmahon, the slab artist of the
visitors held the locals down with
out hit and struck out IL men.
Not a Peach Picker reached the
first station and only 81 men went
to bat during the nine acts in
which Ed Hayes Cubs took part.
1t was case of one, two, three
out in every inning. Malouey
slaughtered six of the Nampa ag-
gregation.

FINANCIAL men HERE
Eastern Capitalists Guests of
Emmett Citizens.

A stranger who did net know the
identity of the party of Eastern
bankers who were guests of En-
NETT citizens Saturday would never
have suspected they were repre-
sentatives uf financial institutions
whose resources run up into ~
figures. Instead they would have
sized them up as being party OF
enthusiastic South Idaho Boosters.
There was neither formality nor
aloofness about them. From the
time they poured out of the pa.a-
tial train like lot Of school boys
Just released from their studies
until with their hats and handker-
chiefs aud hearty cheers they bid
their hosts good bye. they jostled
with the common plug citizen,
hobnobbbed with the farmers and
(sh keep it dark f1irted with the
giils, who they declared were the
handsomes' and most winsome they
had seen since they left Chicago.
They were a jolly bunch and fairly
captured the Emmett people with
their smiling happy faces genial
manners and enthusiasm. And
Emmett enjoyed their visit, which
was all too brief.
The train bearing the Eastern
capitalists consisted of four coaches
and pulled into the depot shortly
after 3 o. clock. They tumbled out
of the cars while the band played
and the people shouted, and tumbl-
ed into the Is automobiles and 40
carriages that were in waiting to
show them the greastest fruit
country that lies out of doors. The
route was up Main street to the
east slope, thence to Freezeout hill,
back to town and over the bench.

don't know more about the En-
NETT countrs than the people who
live here, it is because the three
hours they were here was too short.
Returning to the depot, short
speecnes were made by Mayor
Reilly for the city, A. H. Manson
for the bankers and Colonel Hunt
er for the truit growers aud farmers.
The party travelled as the guests
of Trowbridge & Niver, and con-
sisted of bankers and capitalists
of nearly every state east of the
Mississippi, representing institu-
tions having a combined capital CT
2 billion dollars. The object of
the trip was primarily for the pur-
pose OF showing these moneyed
men the substantial basis of the
bonds purchased through the
Trowbridge COMPANY and to en-
courage further investments. They
were simply delighted with the
Emmett country and so expressed
themselves time and again. They |
were also astonished at the devel-
opment that is taking place here
ana at the 1nteIllgenCe ana tnriIt OF
the people.
As proof of the quality of fruit
produced at Emmett, the dining
car was provided with 10 crates of
strawberries and one crate of sweet
cherries. The fruit was grown on
the Kefauver orchard south of
town.
