ESSEX JUNCTION REDEEMED
Secretary of states Invitation Hailed
ms Making the Town Gateway

We acknowledge with gratitude the
following courteous and attractive in
vitaton from New England common
wealth.
THE State Of Vermont extends to
you cordial invitation to spend your
vacation among it's Green mountains,
or on the shores Of it's beautiful lakes
and streams. The acceptance of this
invitation will insure YOU a hearty well
come and hospitable entertainment;
and it is the hope of this common
wealth that your stay here will be SO
pleasant that with the approach of each
successive vacation period you will
anticipate with eagorness an outing in
the Green Mountain State"
This is as it should be. The general
invitation could be improved only by
specific and practical information for
the benefit Of Ncrmont's intending Wis
itors; and we are glad to say that this
is done in supplementary literature in
a manner that leaves nothing to be de-
sired.
Nobody receiving such cordial words
and such adequate travelling instruc-
tons can turn Normontward without
feeling that he is about to meet most
pleasant host.

CHRISTOPHER PEST TO BE
KEPT UNDER CONTROL

County agent Birch is receiving
daily reports of clover fields infested
with grasshoppers. AS yet he has
found no fields where the damage is
severe enough to warrant immediate
treatment. If treatment is given too
early, more hoppers will hatch later
and may make a second treatment
necessary.
The county agent would be glad to
meet with any farmers organizations
in the county and explain the method
of treatment to them evenings, or Will
arrange day field meetings in any To-
cality where a spraying machine is
available, and grasshoppers are num-
erous enough to warrant such meet
ings. He is anxious to get in COM
munication with owners of spraying
machines who can put them out to do
custom spraying. ITO get best re-
suits" Mr.. Birch says, this should be
community work. While any farmer
can keep the pest off his farm by
spraying, he will have less difficulty
If his neighbors join in and kill their
hoppels."

NANCY COYOTE HAS
FRIEND IN MOTORIST

No longer is the lowly coyote,
scourge of the desert, enemy of the
thrifty farmer, held in universal con-
tempt as the most despicable animal
on four legs. Instead he is looked on,
at least by one man, as a friend in
need and indeed, a wonderfully eff
cient auxiliary to the road denart-
ment in various counties in the Paci-
fic coast states.
All this beautiful 'boost" for the
hitherto NANCY Varmint" follows the
visit to this section of Charles Gould,
director of service for the Maxwell
Motor company of Detroit, and John
]. Plath, sales manager of the same
big concern. Following a tour of the
district with T. J. Toner, director of
Maxwell affairs on the coast, Mr.
Gould discovered redeeming traits in
the coyote which have always escaped
the irascible eyes of Gus natives"
"The coyote is certainly the best
little road cleaner in or out of cap
tivity," said Mr.. Gould on his return
to Detroit the other day "He takes
care of all the dead animals along the
trail, and is not half as bad as he is
painted"
Mr.. Gould's enthusiastic eulogy of
the coyote will be noted with interest
by farmers and stock raisers, who
have in the past regarded that animal
with anything but friendly feeling.
Also, students of animal life every
where will inquire into the snake eat

GUARD READY TO
GO SOUTH SOON
Equipment Arrives Wednesday and
Rolling Stock Is Expected by Sat
urday.

BOISE-With all physical examina-
tons completed and equipment in
camp for the men of the regiment, the
Second Idaho will soon be prepared to
move south toward the Mexican Dor
der, but the actual movement of the
guardsmen awaits the pleasure of the
o. S. L. railroad and the war departv
ment.
Equipment for the regiment arrived
Wednesday morning from California
by express A few hours later Major
Turkey of the medical corps announced
the doctors had finished with the men
and officers of the IL companies max
ing up the Idaho contingent Lieu
tenant CARRIER, U. S. A., has said the
mastering of the regiment into the
federal service will start Thursday af-
ternoon or Friday morning, and will
be completed before Saturday. The
necessity for making out new enlist
ment papers for the officers and men
has retarded the work to some extent,
but all will have signed them this
week.
When Lieutenant CARRIER musters
the regiment into the United States
army the governors authority over it
will automatically cease and the
troops will move only on orders from
the war department Instructions to
start the regiment south have not yet
arrived from Washington, but are ex-
pected hourly.

LONG HAD REAL MESSAGE.

1t is a great fad, nowadays, in an
nouncing lecturer, to say that he
brings a message" Usually the mes
sage" proves to be merely a story-tell-
ing "stunt" in the line of entertain
ment; and, in case the fun furnished
is bright, new and obvious, everybody
is satisfied. But when the manager of
last weeks Chautauqua said that on
Saturday Mr.. Sylvester N. Long would
have a message" for those who heard
him, for once he told the truth. Mr..
Long brought the gospel of service
intelligent service such as alone can
get anywhere in this era of fierce COM
petition, generous service on behalf
of others, and service based on prin-
ciple, sundeterred by temptations and
difficulties. 1t was a forceful, elo-
quent and effective presentation Of
"The Problem of the Hour" and can
not fail to have left its hearers bene-
fitted by at least generous promptings
and good resolutions. To the mind of
the writer it looms as the strongest
and best lecture heard in a lifetime.

By taking a closely played and ex-

Sunday, the Twin Falls boys landed in
second place in the percentage col
umn. The score was Twin Falls, 4;
Rupert, 8.
The game was featured by good
fielding on both sides and though
Twin Falls was in the lead throughout
the game, at no time did she have the
game safely tucked away. Although
Ansell, pitching for Rupert, struck
out II men facing him. the Twin Falls
batters landed for mine hits, while
Hart, of Twin Falls, allowed only
four. The home team made their
scores in the second, fifth and sew
