Mr. Baird had urged her several
times, once the morning before the ac-
cident, not to risk herself about fires
which she had been In the habit of
building in the yard to burn rubbish.
1t is thought either that her clothing
caught on fire and she rolled In an
attempt to put II out or that she fell In
a faint. She was lying directly across
the rubbish pile that she had been
burning.

BAND CONCERT

The American Falls band will give
a concert at the Irene theatre Friday
night preceding the picture show. The
theatre has been turned over to the
band for the evening and manager
Oliver will give the band boys full
charge for the evening and all the pro-
ceeds. The concert will last about
thirty minutes and will precede four
good reels OF pictures. The money
will go toward defraying expenses for
music, uniforms, and other equipment
besides providing a fund to carry the
band work over the winter months.
There are eighteen to twenty pieces
out to every practice and the boys feel
that they have something coming. II
possible a band stand will be built I'm
some convenient part of town. Man
ager Virgin of the Idaho Lumber com
pany has agreed to furnish half the
lumber and Charley Hammock will do
the work II the remainder OF the lum-
ber can be procured from the other
Yards. The uniforms for those who
play are expected within few DAYS.
Only caps and coats we're ordered as
II was thought not best to incur too
great an expense at the present time.
The merchants have subscribed three
hundred dollars toward the benefit
OF the band and there are several who
have not been seen in regard to finan-
cial support. This amount is due with
IN the next four months and will take
the band through a successful summer
and provide a sinking fund for the
winter. Manager Hammock has fl
nanced the band work to a large ex-
tent In the past but the size OF the
band at present makes 1t too great a
burden for one man to handle. Every
one is Invited to attend the concert
at the Irene Friday evening. The
prices OF admission will be popular
and no one should miss hearing what
Senator James II. Brady called the
best band in the state Of Idaho.

the accomplishments of county agri-
culturists. 1t is difficult to measure
the results, difficult to estimate their
value, hard not to over-estimate them.
The county agriculturist's work is so
diversified and reaches so many peo-
pie. Then, too, the results are cumu-
lative. Their value cannot be meas
ured by the help given one farmer. for
many may follow the latter's lead and
adopt what he has demonstrated. 1t
may be easy enough to measure in dol
lars and cents what has been saved by
the work of county agriculturist in
the fight against hog cholera, black
leg, plant diseases and insect pests.
soil problems, and the thousand and
one things that are constantly eating
into the farmers dollar. One agri-
culturist In Idaho, by the lowest DOS
sible estimate has saved the farmers
of his county $4,000 by help given In
cholera. These men the coun-
try over are saving their salaries many
times over to the counties where they
are at work by just such service. But
this is but just one of the problems
they are working with.
Farmers are urged to come and
hear Mr.. Hochbaum. He can use the
German language for part of his ad-
dress should there be any material
of Germans present who have
not a sufficient command of English
TO get the benefit Of his ideas.
