The 134th university of the
birth of this nation was quie'
day in Emmett. A goodly number
accompanied the band to Boise on
the excursion which left here at

to Sweet to the celebration there
while a few families journeyed to
New Plymouth. Those who remain
ed at home either held family re-
unions, picnicked with their neigh
bors in shady groves, hung around
the Brunswick cigar store for news
of the Jeffries-J ohnson fight, or put
in a full day of hard work. The
weather was ideal. A cool breeze
from the mountains tempered the
suns rays and made a wrap comfort
able in the shade.
