REPORT OF cHlLDREN'S WAR
GARDENS OF SHOSHoNE, IDAHO


I beg leave to submit the following
report regarding the War Gardens op-
Grated by the children of Shoshone
during the season of 1917.
During the early spring committee
of the Ladies Study Club together with
the County Superintendent, Miss Cook
called a meeting for the purpose of
interestingthe children of Shoshone
in the War Garden Movement. With
out exception it was the sense of said
meeting that such a movement should
be instituted at once.
Later on the children of Shoshone
were called together and eighteen vol
unteered to cultivate one tenth of an
acre each. Messrs. Disney Brennan
and Gooding donated the use of about
two acres of land in Lincoln addition.
An expert instructor was hired to
take charge of the garden and advise
the children regarding crops. cultivat-
ing. irrigation, etc. Neither the school
Board nor the Town Board saw fit to
assist in this work so the expenses
were cared for by private donations.
Everything was donated except the
seed. the price of which was charged
up to the children in proportion to the
amount and quality used by them.
AS a whole the gardens were a great
success and each child netted a consi-
derable profit from the produce that he
raised. Most of the children were
wholly inexperienced in this line of
work but they took great interest in
the instruction land great pride in
their individual garden plot and it GER
tainly was an inspiring sight to see
those little boys and girls working on
their gardens throughout the summer
and doing their bit to help in our great
war The spirit exhibited by these
and the pleasure they derived
from producing their crops has more
than justified the efforts of a few of
our citizens who helped the work
along.
Much credit for the success of these
gardens is due to the untIrfng efforts
Of Miss Cook not only in advising and
soliciting funds but in actual labor
and instructions given the children at
heir garden plot.
It is the sincere desire to those most
in the 1917 garden to see
he School Board take this work over
he next year as one of the regular
branches of instruction and that of our
children may become interested in the |
work. both from a patriotic and an ed
lcational standpoint.
Respectfully Submitted.
PAUL S. HADDOCK.

WOULD LET 1900 ACRES
GO BACK TO GOVERNMENT
Idaho Irrigation Company Proposes
REIMBURSEMENT; Wants to
Patent 5000. 49,,

The Idaho Irrigation Company Tues
day asked permission of the state land
board to relinqufsh $4,000 acres of
land from its segregation. At the same
time it asked for patents on 5000 acres.
According to B. w. Oppenheim,
council for the Idaho people, the land
which the water company wishes to
turn back to the Federal Government
is too high to irrigate.
The land board will not act in the
matter until after it has met with the
settlers on the company's project, De-
cember 10, at Shoshone.
Monday the land board agreed to
hold the Idaho peoples segregation
down to 117,O0O acres. In doing that
it practically fixed the duty OF water
on the project at two and one-quarter
acre feet.-Statesman, Nov. 2S.

was charming, both from a spectacular
and musical point Of view. Miss Lola

Miss Lois Dunn, as Queen Weeda

throughout, were excellent. and those
who did the training have a right to

consented to make an exhibit here next
Sunday and Monday of his most recent
paintings. These paintings are from

CALLED AWAY

Last Monday evening little Hadley.
son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Ferriel, pass
ed away at the age of one year. six
months and ten days. The little one.
though never strong was seriously i'll
only three days. A strange and sad
feature of his taking away is the fact
that, four years ago, another little son
went in the same way and at the same
age, to a day. The bereaved parents
-'sf-ito express their gratitude to the
friends and neighbors who assisted
them through the illness and death of
little Hadley.

WHERE DOES THE WATER
USER GET OFF?

Last Monday the State Land Board
took up the matter of the lands under
the Idaho Irrigation system. In face
of the fact that the State Engineer
less than year ago, after long and
faithful investigation reported that
there was water in the system for but
10000 acres, the board fixed the acre
age at 117,OOO. When you add to TINS
amount of land the 10000 acres of state
lands under the system you have 49,
900 acres to be watered with water
which the state engineer says is sufi-
cient for but 10000.
Some mighty good citizens a year
ago opposed the election Of W. T.
Daugherty as Secretary of State and
ex-of1icio member of the state land
board on the grounds that he had been
intimately connected in a financial way
with the Idaho Irrigation Company for
many years and to place him on the
State Land Board was too much like
plugging a jury for the plaintiff in
che case which every one knew would
be before the State Land Board for
adjustment wherein the interests of
the Idaho Irrigation Company would
be pitted against the settlers and water
users. Mr. Daugherty and his friends
vehemently denied such charges and
claimed him to be free from all pre-
s,.5;oo l.. +bo motion ToeF rTDrf,4r
Mr.. Daugherty was the author of the
motion to fix the amount of land under
the system at 117.OOO acres. 1t is not
the purpose of the Journal to criticize
the action of Mr.. Daugherty or to say
I told you so. 1t simply tells the facts
as a news item and each water user
is left to his own conclusions as to
the motive behind the motion.
The reports of the state Land Board
are to the effect that they propose to
place the duty of water on this pro-
ject about half the amount which the
idaho Irrigation Company has contract
ed to deliver to each user. There will
be meeting held in Shosbone Dec. 10.
The State Land Board viii be here to
conduct a hearing regarding this mat
rte. Don't fail to circulate the news
SO that every water user under the
project will be present and will enter
against the summary action
cutting the amount OF water and in
,reasing the acreage. 1t is up to YOU
f you are satisfied with the water
conditions the future seems to hold for
rou. then stay at home Dec. 10 and
ct the Irrigation Company have things
heir own way. If you are not satisfied
With the manner in which this matter
$ being handled. if you wish to pre-
erve the water contract you have with
he company TO its full conditions
hen it will be good plan for you to
e present Dec. 10.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS
WILL HELP WIN THE WAR
Will Provide Funds to Help Keep
tuberculosis from American Army.

Red Cross Christmas Seals will help
to win the war, for they will help to
keep the American Army free from
tuberculosis. They will help to care
for the thousands of men who are be-
ing rejected from service because they
have tuberculosis. and they will also
do their share to provide funds
educate the entire country in the treat
ment and prevention of the disease.
The NATIONAL Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
In statement just issued, reports
that Immediately following the dec
laration of war with Germany it
worked with the Council of National
Defensy urging an examination of
every soldier for the detection of tu-
berculosis. 1t also helped to gather
information regarding all the facili-
ties in the United States for making
these examinations, including tuber-
culosis specialists who could assist.
upon made use of this data and start
ed the examination of every soldier
in the officers training camps, former
National Guard, and the new National
Army. The National Association and
various state and local associations
are conducting educational campaigns
in each army cantonment and camp
In addition, every local and anti -tuber-
culosis association and local Red Cross
Chapter is planning to cooperate in
the care of civilian relief cases in
which tuberculosis is a factor. Apart
from actual work with the soldiers.
the National Association has under
taken to follow up the men who have
been rejected from service on account
TO reach these men through their state
health boards and local -tubercu-
1osis associations is being conducted
with great success.
All this work requires the support
of the public, for it vitally concerns
every community in the country from
which the army is being recruited.
Red Cross Christmas Seals give the
public its opportunity to help carry it
out. The goal set for the Seal fund |
this year is s3.OOO.OOO, and the Amer
lean Red Cross and the National As
sociation are appealing to every man,
woman and child to buy three times !
as many stamps this year as they
bought last year.
Every penny spent for Red Cross
Seals has its work to do" says the ap-
peal. "This work is of vital impor-
tance to the nation. Don't be Stacker
in the fight against the Great White
Plague. Every Red Cross Seal is a
bullet in the war against tuberculosis"
