have emphasized one sentence in
the above by printing it in capital let
tiers. It was not capitalized in the
original text, but l wanted it to stand
out as the one false note in an other
wise patriotic declaration. l refer to
this sentence: This is the beautiful
hymn of liberty that the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy is teaching its
poor deluded followers to hiss"
call it a false note because don't
believe it is truthful statement /
don't believe that the Roman. Cath
Ole Hierarchy, or any Of it's agents,
has taught or is teaching members
of the Catholic church to hiss Amer
lea" And even if any were trying to
inspire any such UnpatriOtic and in
sulting conduct toward the rest of
the. people of this country, patriotic
Catholics would be the first to resent
it
If the statement were true it would
be a grave charge and one the whole
country ought to know the truth
about. If it is not true, then it is not
only a gross injustice to all Catholics
who are patriotic citizens, but also to
all members of the Guardians Of Lib
erty who are sincerely patriotic
and I believe that 80 per cent of them
are sincerely patriotic.
The appearance of that statement
in the patriotic text where it is found
is apt to misIead that sincere 80 per
cent into accepting its truth without
question and thus having their minds
poisoned unfairly and Unjustly
against their neighbors who happen
to be Catholics.
The rank and file of the American
Protective Association of twenty-odd
years ago-the old A. P. A.-were
earnest and sincere. But the IN
scrupuloUs politicians who jumped
on the anti-Catholic wave to ride into
office were not earnest and sincere.

Sunday is the Five Year Program
Day in Baptist churches, but on ac-
count of the revival service in the
tabernacle it will be observed by US
on Sunday, November II.
The annual meeting of the church
will be held on Wednesday evening,
November Is, in the social rooms of
the church. This will also be re-
ception to new members who have
come into our church and congrega-
ton. The entire membership ought
to plan to be present. The annual

And In those innocent happy days |,
IKE the rest of you, dreamed of some
day when Emmett, in the midst of
such splendor of nature, would be-
come a city to the open gates of which
many an industrious farmer would
make his way. Now because | like
others, think that the first part of
long cherished dream has come true,
| am anxiously waiting for the time
to come when residents of the upper
Payette Valley can proudly look at
the City of Emmett, as it rests on one
of Gods most chosen spots.

STILL LOVES EMMETT
Former Emmett Boy Pleased That
Dreams Are Coming True.

By Alfred E. Parker, Heads
burg, Calf.
We who are now of the outside, but
who were one time residents of your
enterprising little city, must in some
way express our thoughts regarding
the present progress of Emmett, and
pleasant memories of the beautiful
country adjacent to it. So it is that
seek the columns of The Index, the
paper which started me in my news
paper career, to express in a simple
manner how a one time resident of
Emmett watches with pride the adj
vancement and progress of Gem
County's little capital, nestled as it is
at the head of the Payette Valley.
To me the most marked quality of
the citizenship of Emmett is the spirit
of cooperation with which you ap-
proach a movement for the general
betterment of the community. This
one spirit, and it alone, will mean the
ultimate success of any vicinity, be
its advantages great or small. And
one cannot help but add that the pos
sibilities for the building of Emmett
into a better, more modern and up-to-
date city are forthcoming on every
side.
Along agricultural lines, the fer
the Payette Valley, with its adapta-
bility to numerous commercial pro-
ducts, will in the future, when proper
regulations of prices have been made,
be the mecca for larger number of
of livelihood. 1t is true that in pre-
vious years, and at the present time,
fruit conditions have not been so adj
justed that growers might be able to
secure even the necessary compensa-
ton to make the particular product
pay. Somewhere in the system of
fruit serious defect exists.
And it is the duty of growers to get
together in an effort to solve once
and for all a problem which burdens
such large number of people. This
task however great it seems has been
made much easier, for during the time
it takes to regulate fruit problems the
people have another industry to turn
to, which came at time in Emmett's
history when conditions looked rather
dark. Dark as those days may have
seemed, before the coming of the
much dreamed of "Sawmill", today
your town is forging thead by leaps
and bounds.
Pardon too much personal mention,
but nearly three years have elapsed
since leaving Emmett, which was my
nome during seven years of boyhood
life. Those were indeed happy years
and days. 1t was then with my many
ooyhood friends that / learned to love
he gray pallor of the hills on either
tide of the Payette Valley, with Big
ind Little Butte in the distance as
hey stood tall and stately against
he sky The river, too, as it wound in
is course at the foot of Little Butte
IN out into the broad valley, where
very meadow and field showed the
,racious work of the Omnipotent
Jreator, also held a charm for me.

YAkUrAT TO THE FRONT
 WITH MANY NEWsY ITEMS,

A communication received from Yakutat contains a paragraph which for news is humdinger and conveys in part, the writer states, the happen ings there of interest to the outside world:
 This place, or rather at the cannery, was lively last fall and although a mar shal was here, more beer was made, and am afraid more whiskey sold than ever before He was taken away in October. Jim Blaine, as you saw in the papers, did a cutting up scrape. Tom Smith did nearly as bad as Se- tuck in October. John Yamotoee blew his brains out at the cannery three weeks ago, and drink (beer) was the cause of it. Tom Smith got six months and MT. Olson took him down ten days ago, as he had to attend court. A week ago yesterday our people went to Setuck to a potlatch given by the Dry Bay Indians, and a boy, Johnny Bremner, fell off the bridge and was drowned, and now several of our young ones are sick with measles. Quite a lot for a small community like this.-Ex

New Years Morning
 By HELEN HUNT JACKSON

0NLY night from old to new! V Only night and 50 much
 wrought! The Old Years heart all weary
 grew,
 But said, "The New Year rest has
 brought" The Old Years heart its hopes laid
 down
 As in grave, out, trusting, said, "The blossoms of the New Years
 crown
 Bloom from the ashes of the
 dead" The Old Years heart was full of
 greed;
 With selfshness it longed and
 ached And cried, "I have not half I need; My thirst is bitter and unslaked, But to the New Years generous
 hand
 All gifts in plenty shall return; True loving it shall understand; By all my failures it shalhlearn I have been reckless; 1t shall be Quiet and calm and pure of life. l was a slave; it shall go free And find sweet peace where
 leave strife" Only a night from old to newl Night and the healing balm of
 sleep! Each morn is New Years morn come
 true,
 More of a festival to keep. All nights are sacred nights to
 make
 Confession and resolve and prayer. All days are sacred days to wake New gladness in the sunny air. Only night from old to newl Only sleep from night to morn The new is but the old come true; Each sunrise sees a new year
 born.

On the hottest days in summer, Mr.

On the hottest days in summer, MT. Barnes catches the rays of the sun at the focus of a bright tin roof on his house and conveys the heat to his barn, which he has remodeled into an immense model of fireless cooker box. In this building great squares of artificial stone are placed and the heat is stored within these big disks. These are closely packed inside bales of pressed straw. The stones hold more than 100000 calories of heat sufficient to heat his house all winter and to supply all needed extra heat
 Mir. Barnes claims that it took only ten days last summer to charge his hot storage plant. The Idea for the con trivance originated with MT. Barnes
The Cordova daily times., 1916-12-28

when he vas trying to paint the roof of his house on hot day. Finding such great heat on the tin, he was curious to know if food could be cooked there, and taking beefsteak to the roof he left it. After a wait of an hour he crawled to the top of the house and found the steak cooked to crisp. This incident gave him the idea for his storage plant.
 Hundreds of visitors are viewing the dish shaped roof, the hothouse and heating system at the home of MT. Barnes, who says that as there is no meter on the sun he does not expect to pay cent for heat the remainder of his life.
