EMMETT IN LEAGUE
Boise, Caldwell and Nampa
Are the Other Members

The baseball fans of Emmett
last night decided to accept mem
bershiP in the Western Idaho
League, and the funds to main
tain team is being raised today.
Orrie Critics was chosen manager
at meeting held last night, and
he at once issued a call for PLAYERS
to show up Sunday afternoon at
the ball park, when candidates will
be given try out.
The league was organized at
Nampa Sunday. Four cities are
represented, Boise, Nampa, Cald-
we'll and Emmett. The season
will begin April "a, with Nampa
at Boise and Emmett at Caldwell,
and will continue to the latter part
of July. The indications are that
this city will be represented by
team of strictly home players, anu
it will be strong one. Sam Nc
MILAN and Reub Eaton will COM
pose the battery. The old stand
bys, Ed Hayes, Elmer Holverson
and Brink Woody will be in the
lineup as usual. Among the set
tiers from the East during the
past year who are fast players, are
5. Motz, Lester Nichols, Charles
Reed, Mr.. Baer aud a lumber OF
others. Mntz is specially valu-
able man. having played profess
sional ball with Des Moines and
Denver for number of years. 1t
IS expected that Sundays try-out
will disclose considerable other
promising material.

Comet is Visible

The much heralded Halley's
comet is now visible in the morn
ing. 1t makes its appearance at
daylight and is easily distinguished
by its brilliancy. So bright is it,
in fact, that it may be seen up to
nearly noon on bright sunshinv
day. Its tail. however, doss not
show. Early in May it will ap
pear in its glory, with head erect
aud tail arising. According to
scientist, the tail of comet is CON-
posed of gas, existing in highly
rare6ed condition. Little particles
of electricity called corpuscles. or
ions. are being constantly given
off at enormous speed by the sun.
Each meteorite in the comets head
is surrounded by its own rare6ed
atmosphere. When one of these
little ions strikes one of the mole
cules of gas in the comets a,nos-
phere. it carries it off with it to
form the tail. The electrical
charge makes the gas luminous
and it is by this light, and not
by reflected sunlight that the tail
is made visible to us. A comets
tail, therefore, seems to.be merely
a very extended aurora.

CANNERY TURNED OVER
Stockholders Make Deal With
Fields & Cloud.

At largely attended meeting oi
the stockholders of the Emmett
Canning company, Monday after.
noon the proposition of ]. R. Fields
and Z. X. Cloud to take over the
factory and operate it was agreed
to by an almost unanimous vote,
only two dissenting votes being
cast.
The meeting was presided over
by T. c. Rundstrom, president OF
the company. Both Mr.. Fields
and Mr.. Cloud were present and
their proposition was substantially
as follows: That in considera-
tion of the canning company turn
ing over the plant TO Fields &
Cloud free of debt they would
agree to install new machinery,
including pea viner, enlarge the
building and operate the factory
for a period of three years. If at
the end of three years they had car
rird out the terms of their agree
ment, they shall be given a deed
TO the property free of expense.
During the period of three years
the deed to the property to beplaced
in escrow.
The action taken by the stock
holders means that a canning in.
dustry will be built up in Emmett

stable market for the produce and
fruit of Emmett tarmeis and or

lished here. 1t means alsp the
creation of another pay roll and
the emp oyment of more labor. In
short, it means enlarged prosperi
ty for the farmer. fruit grower and
business man. Mr.. Fields and
Mr.. Cloud are men of unquestion-
ed standing in the business world
and thoroughly experienced in the
cannery business. They selected
Emmett as their field of operations
because, as they express them
selves, this section is gifted with
climatic conditions favorable TO
fruit and vegetable growing unsur-
passed in the west, and is therefore
a most desirable location for all in
of this character. They |
will at once install additional ma
chinery at cost of $2500, besides
greatly enlarging the present
building, and the Improvements
will be COMPLETED in time to handle
this years products. The new
will include pea viner,
which will make it possible 10 can

fruit will also be canned.

A Glove Cleaning Hint.

In washing chamois gloves do not
wiring them or even squeeze very dry,
as with ordinary glove cleaning. The
skins pul! easily. and wringing breaks
the tender fabric.
Put the rinsed gloves into a thick
Turkish towel and press out most of
the moisture. then hang them in a
strong current of air to dry. Fasten
the pair together by buttons and hang
with fingers down.
The shrinking, of which many wo-
men complain in chamois glove wash
Ing. can he overcome by drying the
gloves on the hand after they come
from the Turkish towel and few
minutes airing.
Rub gently until dry. The heat of
the hand makes this drying Il quicker
process than most WomeA Imagine. and
there is little danger Of taking cold.
Do not neglect rinsing rs well as
washing in Soapy water if you do not
wish your gloves to stilfen.
