Clover and Foxtail.

Dear Editor: Who has had our
experience in seeding clover? We
bought seed of neighbor last spring
which was badly mixed with foxtail
seed This we didn't know until we
saw it growing in the field. We know
it was sown with the clover as it ap-
peared nowhere else, it being new land
Now what can be done with the field
to get rid of the foxtail? Some say
it will not appear after the first year,
but we are doubtful. We think 1t
will be useless as a seed crop to keep
or sell. Would be glad to hear from
any who may know.
Very truly,
J. A. HAYNES, Route No. 2.

STOCKMEN HOLD AN
NUAL MEETING
Cattlemen and Sheepmen Elect
Officers and Discuss Graz
ing Questions.

The annual meeting of the Payette
National Forest Cattle & Horse
Growers association met in the Com
mercial club rooms Friday and was
attended by about rs cattlemen and
horse growers who use the Payette
national forest. The officers elected
for 1917 were as follows: President,
James Kesgard, Emmett; vice presi-
dent, F. NJ. Prout, Jerusalem valley;
secretary and treasurer, o. j. DIX,
Sweet; advisory board, Sherman
Glenn of Squaw creek, Sam Charters
of Garden valley, Morris Quinn OF
Horseshoe Bend, H. Groome Of Boise
valley, Ben Strohbein of Payette val
ley.
Assistant District Forester H. r..
Fem of Ogden, Utah, also d..
C. Williams, forest supervisor Of Nc
Call, were present and in conjunction
with Supervisor Mains considered the
range allotments, for which there was
keen competition owing to the fact
that there has been considerable IN
crease of the herds during the past
year.
At the meeting a year ago, 1t Will
be remembered that heavy snow fell
This year it looked for a time as If
that snowstorm would be duplicated,
but only about an inch fell. Never
theless, many people are beginning to
think the weather man has grudge
against the cattlemen.

High School Game.

The Emmett High school team
played in the old-time form that
brought the championship pennant OF
Southern Idaho to this town for four
seasons. While Caldwell played a
fast game they were unable to cope
with the local team and at only one
time was Emmett in danger Of losing
the game. The first half, while well
played, was not exciting and the score
stood Is to 7 in favor Of Emmett.
The first part of the second half
Caldwell came back with a vengence
and in a few minutes Of play had
carried their side of the score to a
tie with Emmett. But the local team
woke up and by fine team work and
one of the hardest fought battles that
has been seen for many years march
ed on TO victory.

An-Stars Game.

While the High School game was
exciting and fast, the game between
the All-Stars and the Up-to-Dates Of
Boise went them one better, and in a
battle royal the Boise team came off
victorious, by q score of 29 20 %. The
first half proved TO be the cause Of
Emmett's downfall. They were un-
able to solve the work of the Boise
team and before they woke up to the
fact that they were being left hope
lessly in the race the whistle had
blown with the score Il to s in favor
of the Boise team.
But they showed the visitors few
of the real fine points Of the game
in the second half and in q few min
utes had made seven points and from
there to the finish it was one Of the
prettiest fights that has been seen
on the local floor since the days OF
the famous Tigers. After Emmett
by a series of brilliant plays had
tied the score Boise took their second
wind and from there to the close the
game was first in favor Of one side
and then the other. While all Of the
baskets were made by Harrell, with
the exception of two, one by Lingren
and one by Monroe, yet all the honor
is not for him, but should be shared
equally with Sanders and Monroe,
who by their brilliant work on the
floor, were easily the stars Of the
game.

The men and officers Of the eight Ger

Not only were the men released from
detention, but they were allowed to re.
turn TO their ships, which are still
under the 9 superyision' of the col.

However, to prevent any further AT
tempt at injuring the vessels or sinking
them, the provost guard on the meE-
ehantmen was doubled, two companies
being put on guard instead of one. The
crews Of the Pommerh and Setos were
arrested on charges preferred against
them by the federal civil authorities of
violating the federal statute which
makes II q crime to fnjnre or destroy
the machinery Of a merchant vessel in

There was no denial on the part of
the Germans that they had committed

declared that the German vessels were

DEMANDPROTECTION
International Mercantile Marine
Asks Government To Supply
GUNS and Gunners
tAssoeiatsd Press by Federal wireless,

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
international Mercantile Marine Com
pany today formally applied to the
navy department for guns with which
TO arm passenger liners Of the Ameri-
can line. The company states that IL is
unable TO find the guns elsewhere.
II is Indicated in official circles now
that while the department is opposed
for military reasons to the project Of
conveying merchant vessels, IL favors
furnishing them with guns for their
own defense and supplying trained gum
ners.
A more difficult objection may be
the withdrawing of navy gunners from
the active list for use on the liners.
