TO TALK ON MILITIA COMPANY
Meeting to be Held Friday Evening to
Explain Purposes of Organization

Lieutenant CARRIER, U. S. A, and
Adjutant General Crow of the Idaho
National Guard, will address a meet
ing of Emmett business men at the
Commercial Club rooms Friday, Au-
gust 27, at $3.50 p. m. Everyone in
terested is requested to be present.
Those who for any reason oppose the
formation of company in Emmett
are particularly urged to attend.
National Guard policy, purpose and
organization have changed materially
in recent years. The old arguments
against it no longer apply.
A company in Emmett means to us:
First-A gymnasium. We have
long needed this.
Second-A nucleus about which to
center the social activities of the
community.
Third-A rifle range, guns and am
munition
Fourth-Two weeks encampment
each summer, an ideal way to get paid
for taking a vacation.
Fifth-At least $4,000 put in circula-
ton in Emmett in armory hire, wages,
laundry, etc.
Sixth-Excellent advertising for
the community.
Seventh-A trained citizenry that
in case of an invasion would defend
our homes. Switzerland has the best
trained citizenry in the world, and
that and nothing else has kept her in
violate in the great European war.
If you know of any reason why this
should not be introduced
lere, you are requested to attend this
and make your objection
Known.

Dog Attacks Porcupine

1t is a safe gamble that George F
Zimmerman's dog will steer clear OF
porcupines hereafter. The animal
was discovered in Ed Warnings yard
yesterday morning, and the thinner
man dog sought to drive the intruder
away. 1t took Mr.. Zimmerman some
time to extract the quills from the
dogs mouth after the attack. George,
armed with pitchfork, drove the por-
cupine to George Demasters' livery
barn, while the whole neighborhood
looked on in wonder at the strange
sight, the attorney prodding the
animal whenever it Jagged, and
the porler expressing his disap-
proval in savage grunts. At the
barn, Demasters and Zimmerman
courtmartialed the porcupine and con-
demned it to death under the trespass
act and dad" was chosen as the ex-
ecutioner. After three shots and three
misses at 20 feet, Dad finally located
the target and killed it.

Valuable Fruit tree.

What appears to be the most valu-
able fruit tree in the world stands at
Whittier, in Los Angeles county, Cal.
1t is an Avacado ALLIGATOR pear) and
is insured against wind and fire by
Lloyd's of London to the amount of
$4,000. The value of the tree arises
from the great value of its product.
Last year this tree yielded 5000 pears,
which averaged the owner so cents
each. 1t also produced $500 worth

A Good Investment.

There are thousands of acres of ls, d
in Phillips county this year on which
the present crop of wheat will bring a
cash return that would pay the fair pur
chase price value Of the land on which
it was grown and yet there are men
with the purchase price of such land in
their pockets who are hesitating over
the purchase of this cheap western lard
There 10 not, in any of the older stat, .
east of US. an opportunity for such a
profitable investment in land as this
cheap western land affords, for in meme
Of the the older states can land be pur
chased at such pIice that a single crop
Of grain will pay the purchase price.
This opportunity for profitable invest
ment will not continue many years for
land prices in this western country are
sure to advance till they correspond
with the value of the crops raised on
thc land.
