Of calves from black leg and the last

vaccination of calves for the purpose
CT preventing the spread CT this
disease. So far there has been no re-
port of the disease among the range
cattle and the calves and yoarlings
in the valley seem to be the only
ones affectd. Wherever this disease
has existed strict measures should
be taken to destroy the carcasses of
animals dying from it. 1t spreads very
easily and is a fatal disease. Sue
cessful vaccination has been employed
against it so IL you own some val
liable calvs 1t would be well in view
of the fact that the disease is pre-
valent in the valley to vaccinate them
and be on the safe side.

It took tnreo pitchers OF the Pay

Fruitland used two pitchers and
the general opinion is that had they
started the game with yourg Brown
their high schccl pitcher the story
would have been the saddest ever
told, that is from the standpoint Of
the business mems team. The lead
they secured OF five scores in the
first inning when young Brown was
not pitching seems to have been their
only salvation and even at tGat it
looked for awhile in the ninth like
the apple pickers were >gcing to tie
it up.
Not as good a crowd was out as
should have been but those there en-
joyed the game. The batteries for
Fruitland were DarneI, Fisher and
Brown. For Paye.te Ireton, Jenkins,
Cree and Murphy. We can nct give
the rest of the lineup as both teams
sent in pinch hitte-s and
changed their line up.
Immediately after the game which
ended by a score of eight to nine
the Fruitland bunch demanded a re-
turn game to be played at Fruitland
N the near future and despite the
TACT that most of the business men
desired to disband the team for the
season and rest upon their well earn /

decided to picket it out in field.
But when they got the calf out, the
ungrateful creature played cruel
trick on them. AS fair ones held the
rope, the calf began running IN
circle and soon had them tied to-
gether with the rope aroud their bod

for help and gallantly went to their
assistance. And now well, that call
can stay in the barn for life for all
they care.-Emmett Index.

Auxiliary Picnic.

There viii be the regular meeting
of the Auxiliary in the Commercial
Club rooms on next Monday June
18th Everyone is requested to be
present as business of importance
is to come up.
On Wednesday June 18th at the
home of Mrs. C. E. Brainari the
long talked of picnic will be held
at which time the ladies who have
earned a dollar more or less, will turr
them in and also tell how they earned
the dollar. The different manner in
which they earned their dollars will
be interesting and may prove helpful
to others.
1t behooves Us to earn all we can
for the auxiliary as the furniture for
the dormitory rooms have been order
ed, and the bedding will be to pay
for. 1t would seem like abig under
taking for the ladies to furnish the
dormitory rooms, if we did not have
such splendid membership, but with
such good force of workers we are
lot dismayed.
The picnic will be very pleasant
affair as there will be games, outdoor
sports, contests and music and last
but not least of the good things, a
good big picnic dinner at five o'clock.
There will be tables so that all can
be seated and the good things will all
be put together and all eat as the one
big family that we are. If the ladies
will go in groups of six or ten and
prepare the food it will make it
easier for everyone. No dishes will
need to be brought, as the auxiliary
dishes will be used. We want every
member there, whether, you have
earnd dollar or not and we want
every lady to invite some one who is
not a member but would like to be,
to come and the lady who brings the
most new members will be crowned
queen of the picnic.
For fear that some of the ladies
will not see this notice will all of the
ladies who secured new members
during the contest, please notify them
The work of the building is moving |
along nicely and it is time for us
to plan for the big opening.
