Tales of the Town
THE NEW YEAR

/ IL is the time to start again,
The time to all take heart again,
The time to do your part again,
The part you have been Sinking;
We've wiped the old slate clean again
With hope that's young and keen
again.
And faith that's growing green again
Let's start the new year working.
We know the pitfall where we fell,
This time can we not shun IT
The test has shown our weakness!
Can't we improve 1t!
Can't we train up, build up to strength
Our flabby moral muscle
Until, by dint of work, at length
It's fit for any tussle?
The time has come to start again,
The time to all take heart again,
The time to do your part again,
The part you have been Sinking;
We've wiped the old slate clean again
Shall we write down what's mean
again
And naught from failures CLEAN again,
Or with new hope start working!
We know where some poor vagrant
laying hen may find home through
the cold weather.

CURRENT COMMENT.

In the ranks Of Emmett men many
vacancies were made the past few
years. AS the roll is called New
Years morning quite number will
not answer. Some were strong and
true men; for years theirs were ia
miliar faces on these streets, prom
inent factors in the business, social
or religious life Of the city. 1t seems
but yesterday when they were alert
and confident and eager to do their
part; since their voices rang out
joyousIy the Christmas and New
Years greetings. Now the voices
are stilled and it is as was written
three thousand years ago;
Like leaves on trees, the race of man
is found,
Now green in youth, now withered on
the ground;
Another race the following spring
supplies,
They fall successive and successive
rise.

But. with all our optimistic antic-
ipations. the problem that has con-
fronted the Emmett Irrigation District
for many years is still unsolved. 1t
is the one shadow that dims the bright
outlook. The solution of this problem
during the new year should be the
earnest endeavor Of every good citi-
zen. Grievous mistakes have been
made in the past Who made them and
the effect are no longer material.
Accusations, insinuations and law
suits we have had without end; no
good has been accomplished and the
settlement is as far off as ever.
Through it all The Index has remain
ed neutral, but has looked on with a
sinking heart at the enmities engen-
dered, at the families estranged, at
the warm friendships broken up. Big
hearted, staunch men and women have
allowed their misfortunes to get the
better of their Judgment or been un-
wisely influenced by those whose
motives were more of selfish nature
than the good Of the entire district.
Right now, at the threshold of new
year, when every indication points
to unusual opportunities for growth
and prosperity-wouldn't it be a
good time now for every property
owner under the Canyon canal 10 have
a heart to heart talk with himself and
his neighbor and see If there is not
some common ground upon which all
may meet and work together in de-
vising the best means of working out
the salvation Of the district The pre-
sent policy Of fractional strife has not
and will not accomplish anything; a
spirit Of fairness, of arbitration, Of
cooperation, Of unity will.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1916-12-28

During the past year Emmett has
prospered The high prices of grain
and all farm products and stock has
brought prosperity to the farmers and
stockmen. The location Of the big
sawmill of the Boise-Payette Lumber
company with its payroll of four or
five hundred men and the certainty of
a continual increase from year to
year, has given great stimulus to
both city and country and has laid
the foundations for a sure and per-
manent prosperity. Further stimulus
has been added by the announcement
of the Michigan-Idah Lumber COM
pany that they will continue their
lumber manufacturing activities here,
with the probability Of their enlarg
ing their plant to greater capacity
and scope. And so the entire Emmett
country enters upon the New Year
with the brightest prospects and the
most unbounded optimism. May they
who have the city's affairs in charge
Iegislate wisely and well.

FLYNN thinks man should eat dates

Flynn there is absolutely no use IN
ANYBODY ever being sick. Health rules
are simple and if you use common
sense you don't need Flynn. Eat three
times day of the foods that you
know agree with you. Do not eat be-

This extract from President Will

Alexander, then apparently the under

followed, with the humiliation of his

sought peace before and after Leipsic,
but the Allied Powers refused, depos-

peace in 1870, but Bismarck, the vic

AGREEMENT REACHED By
PINE PACKERS; GROWERS

Those pineapple planters on Maui
who have stopped planting probably
will begin again If proposition pre-
sented at a recent meeting of repre-
sentatives of the Haiku Fruit & Pack
ing Company, and pineapple planters
of the Valley Island, is accepted. The
plan proposed to the packers provides
that the price paid for fruit be based
upon the price paid to the packers for
the finished product of the cannety.
Under the plan. the grower will not
furnish fruit at loss unless, at the
same time, the packer is losing pro-
portionately.
