School Notes

Twenty young friends of Merle
Hollenbeck gave her the surprise of
her life Friday evening. While out
driving with gentleman friend, they
took possession of her home, and
upon her arrival the lights were
turned off and silence reigned. She
entered and turned ON the lights re-
vealing the room full of friends.
Her face was puzzle. Everyone had
a jolly time. Dainty refreshments
were served and only the lateness or
shall we say the earliness of the
hour, broke up the party as all were
loathe to leave so jolly crowd.
Miss Rowena Robinson, the new
third grade teacher, will start the

The bell rope now swings in the
hall of the first floor, making 1t
convenient for the janitor to reach
without going upstairs to call the
school.

OUR COUNTRY
BE A BOOSTER
DON'T BE A kNockER

Do we as citizens of the Gem
State fully appreciate what we have
and the things that are our own?
Perhaps the cause OF this article is
the unsatisfied condition of some of
our fellow citizens. But if you
will pause with me for a minute and
look back at the past you will re-
member that History repeats itself.
Then you will see something more
than fiction in this that l am say
ing. At the present the prices Of
crops of the Gem State are not
what we would like for them to. be.
Neither are they as good as they
have been in the last few years.
But must we expect to have things
come our way in high state of sue
cess all the time and every year
without any adversely. If we do
we are going to be disappointed. The
price of fruit, hay and grain will
fluctuate just as the price of corn
has changed to what it was some
years ago in Kansas and Nebraska.
When few years ago corn was so
plentiful, it was used in some in
stances for fuel. In fact you could
hardly give 1t away. But the man
who raises corn gets good living
for his work and the general opinion
is that it will never sell for 10 and
Is cents bushel again. At that
time they said it was an overproduc-
ton but that idea was mistaken
one. There is at all times market
for all the fruit, hay and grain that
we can grow If we could get it to
the market at the right time and in
the right shape. But however this
is a condition that is rarely applied
as 1t should be. But to succeed in
every year we cannot apply the
rule.
Some years with happy go lucky
sort of way we can handle our crops
and business and yet make good.

AREAS BELOW SEA LEVEL.

All the continents, with the possi-
Bile exception of South America, con-
tain areas of dry land which are
below sea level.
In North America, according to
the United States Geological Sur
vey, the lowest point is in Death
Valley, California, 276 feet below sea
level; but this is slight depression
compared to the basin of the Dead
Sea, in Palestine, Asia, where the
lowest dry-land point is 1880 feet
below sea level. In Africa the low
est point is in the Desert of Sahara,
about $50 feet below sea level, but
the Sahara as whole is not below
sea level. although until recently
the greater part of 1t was supposed
to be. In Europe the lowest point
at present known Is ON the shores Of
the Caspian Sea Sc feet below sea
level. In Australia the lowest point
is at Lake Torens about. IS feet be-
low sea level.

YOUNG MAN
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

Last Friday morning, Harry Heck
us, II year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Heckus, south of Fruitland met
with a serious accident that COM
mands the sympathy of the entire
community. He went early to the
river hunting ducks, upon his arriv-
al, and while tying his horse, the
gun slipped and discharged the en-
tire load through his left arm close
to the shoulder, tearing a hole in the
flesh almost the size of a cup and
completely shattering the bone, He
walked about half mile to Jack
Meeker's, the nearest farm house
and Mr.. Meeker drove with him
from Whitley Bottom to his home.
DR.. Wright was summoned and
dressed the wound. Realizing the
seriousness of the case, DR.. Wright
took him to Ontario hospital and
called DR.. Stewart of Boise and the
arm was taken off in the socket. A
form of blood poisoning developed
and the young boy has been lying at
the point of death with very little
hopes of his recovery. AT this
writing Tuesday morning he seems
slightly better and the Doctor states
with a fighting chance for recovery.
The deepest sympathy is felt for him
and the family as Harry was a mod
ell young man and regarded by all
who knew him as boy full of prom
Use and manly ambition to make
his mark in the world.

and personal. But this is in our
Providence to adjust, and if we do
not do it, it is our fault and not the
country's. You cannot adjust such
matters by knocking. Such work
belongs to the calamity bowler and
not to the citizens Of Idaho. The
man with the knocking spirit re-
minds me of the little girl with her
dolly she loved best. When she
found it was stuffed with saw dust
she cried and told her mama that
the whole world had gone wrong. We
can make our valley just what we
want it to be If we all stand to-
gether and boost for that end. Let
everybody be booster and the
knockers will be thing Of the
past.
