EASY TO BE A BACK NUMBER

One of the easiest things, these
swift moving days is to become q
back number. A lawyer may school
himself thoroughly in the knowledge
OF his profession, but if he is to win,
he must continue bis study there will
be something for him TO learn every
day, and then he will wish for longer
days in which TO learn more. So with
a physician, especially with special
list. Everyday is sure 10 add some
thing to his particular science, and he
must know it, if he is to lead. What
is true of these two professions of law
and medicine is true of every profess
sion and skilled employment. The
knowledge, which is all the time accu-
mulating, one must have as certainly
as the carpenter must have his tools.
That is why it is so easy to become
a back number. Keeping abreast of
the knowledge peculiar to ones occu-
patton is hard work ana constant work
but the reward is abundant for the
one who thus exerts himself. Years
may come to silver his hair, but he
is still the master of his task. and he
will not be distanced by the newcom-
ers in his field of endeavor. More
over, his keen interest will keep him
young, his continued success will con-
serve his health, and he will serve bet
ter and live longer. Don't by any sort
of let-down run the risk of becom-
ing a back number.

GEM COUNTY EDITION.

This first Gem County edition OF
The Index is presented to its readers
with pride and pleasure. In point OF
size, Typographical appearance and the
thoroughness with which the resour-
ces OF the new county are presented q
new mark in newspaper making in the
2ayette valley Is set.
The publication Of such an edition
entails a great deal Of labor, time and
expense. Especially is this true in a
small country office. Work was start
ed on the edition last Friday, and the
force has had mighty little time to
sleep or eat since them. Naturally in
the rush mistakes have been made,
and tired hands and and weary brains
have overlooked many features that
deserve mention. More room was
needed-at least eight pages more.
When we get started on a subject like
Gem county, it is pretty hard to find
a stopping place. But there is limit
10 human endurance, and that was
reached when the Gath page had come
from the press. We hope you will be
pleased with the effort and enjoy it.
We also hope that whatever mistakes
have been made will be treated in a
considerate and generous spirit.
To Mr. Merritt, of Boise, who took |
charge Of the "write-up" end; to j.
w. Barrett, whom the Syms- York
company kindly loaned us to operate

Ralph, who did the presswork and set
many of the ads, and to Clare, who

WOMEN LABORERS : COMPLAIN THEY'RE DRIVEN AT CRANES
Don't Want To Be Poked With Pencil By Fore
 woman, They Say.


 That foreWomenl in the Crane Co.,. West End plant adopt strange tactics to urge the women core makers, is evidenced by the following clause in a list of grievances first drawn up by the core makers:
 r .'They don't want the foreIady to go and poke them with a pencil. They want to work steady all day long and not to go and bother them while they are working, the way the foreIady does-'' oyt
 The list of grievances is being changed to-day. but many Of the origi- nal demands will be fetained- When the core makers first became dissat- ished, they drew up a paper in which the above was one of the things sub- mitted for a remedy
 The core makers and moulders want piece work abolished. The men core makers want three dollars a day which the mou1der receive, and the 1aborers ask for A$2.5o.y The woman core makers want $2.25. The annual bonus of the Crane Co. l will be dispensed with, according tc the worl1men's paper. They wan I payment of the bonus due up to Sep ternber 4. and after that they don. l care for it. The Crane employees met at o'elocI yesterday afternon in Eagles hall ane the meeting was adjourned until Il o'clock this morning, at which time i was planned to draw up a new list O l demands.
