In recent years the problem of
keeping the boy on the farm has
been thought serious enough TO
arouse considerable discussion, says
the Indianapolis News.
The farmer has been told that he
ought to provide the most modern
agricultural machinery in order TO
obviate the hard labor of farming
and keep the boy inter eSted; that
he should send his boy to good
school of scientific agriculture; that
he should set aside a certain por-
ton of the farm for the boy and
permit him to keep the profits from
his operation and he has been told
many other things. in all of which
the importance of he boy to the
farm was emphasized aid plans
suggested to make his lot a little
easter and more promising The
county agents has interested him
self in the problem Of organizing
boys corn growing and Other agri
cultural contests

DEATH OF MISS MINNIE JONES,

Miss Minnie Jones, for nineteen
years a resident Of American Falls,
and for six years a teacher in the
American Falls public schools, died
about II o'clock Monday night after
brief illness.
Miss Jones has had a bad heart
trouble for many years, trouble ser
ious enough to have made an invalid
Of an ordinary person, but unmindful
of it, she was ever active. About a
week ago she caught cold which af-
fected her heart, developing a condi-
tion which brought about paralysis
and finally death. Miss Jones had
planned to go through the Yellow
stone National Park in the near future,
and then east to complete her course
in domestic science at the Stout In
stitute, and had been granted a years
leave OF absence for this purpose.
When domestic science was added
to the course of the American Falls
schools, Miss Jones was elected as in
structor, and has retained the posi-
ton ever since. Her work in the
schools merits the highest commend
alton, and her loss will be geratly
felt by those who were fortunate to
come under her instruction and with
in her influence.
Wednesday morning last Miss Jones
became dangerously i'll and lapsed in
to a state Of unconsciousness. Dr.
Schiltz was called and realized at once
that there was no hope Her family
and friends were prepared for the
worst, and hourly expected news OF
her death. Left to mourn her are her
father, r. o. Jones, Mrs. Edith Tucker
sister, and two brothers, Ernest P
and Lester Jones. The latter has
been at the naval training station al
San Francisco for several week, anc
is en- route home to attend the funer-
al Funeral services will be held Fri
day evening at $50.

EXTINGUISH SEPARATOR FIRES.

Separator fires or smut explosions
have been very frequent in the north
west of recent years. The damage to
machines has been unusually serious
and the loss of grain frequent. This
year of all years these fires should be
prevented or extinguished before dam
age is done.
The office of rural engineering and
roads has found much evidence show
ing that these fires are caused by
electric sparks from moving parts of
the separators. belts, etc They ac-
cordingly have a scheme for so
grounding the separator as to prevent
these sparks. Plans for this wiring
can be secured from the above office.
But should the fires not be prevent
ed, they can be extinguished so quick
ly as not to scorch the separator and
even put out the fire in straw piles
frequently. The above office has
plans for such an automatic device.
using soda, acid and water, as do the
common tip-over and spray fire ex-

Many practical threshers object to
the outfit because of the frailty of the
automatic feature and the use of a
special tank for solutions. One
thresher builder has, to the authors
knowledge, utilized stove range boil
ers for tanks and substituted a hand
operated trip for the automatic trip
He equipped several machines last
year and reports that all fires were
extinguished before damage was done
