This was in part confirmation of the
charges made within the past two days
that large quantities of potatoes. cab

been allowed to freeze and rot, being
subsequently relegated to dumping

they are sorted by employees OF the

USERS ARE PAID UP

In its drive against delinquent water
users of Rock Island the city has
reached the quarter post, having Sc
cured payment of bills from 200 OF the
500 residents owing for water service.
Despite the fact that many people are
hurrying in daily and paying their
bills the number is not as large as the
city desires, and as consequence
there is no Ietup in the work of shut
ting off the service of delinquents.

The barbecue, an attractive feat

year.
An important change is that the

the Berinadi Carnival Co. and other
attractions will make the evenings
entertainment well worth the at
tendance of the people.
There will be no carnival down

BIG PICNIC MONDAY
MERIDIAN PEOPLE TO EN-
TERRAIN DRAFTED BOYS.

At the regular meeting of the Ada
County Protective Association held
last Monday evening it was decided
to make Monday, September Sd.
Labor Day., a legal holiday and to
have community reception and en-
tertainment, the Meridian conscript-
ed soldier boys and their immediate
families to be the guests Of honor.
Plans are under way to have this
entertainment and reception in the
Bailey grove just north of town
and committees are at work getting
the grounds in shape, preparing a
program, arranging for speakers,
etc.
The program will commence at 10
a. M, and as a. part OF the program
Attorney General Walters and Ex-
Congressman Robert McCracken
have consented to deliver addresses
and a band will be secured for the
occasion. All business houses Of
Meridian have agreed to close from
10 a. m. to pm, and to participate
In the entertainment.
IF you are not for us you are
against u.s." This is community af-
fair of the greatest importance, and
IL you claim Meridian as your
home. you will be expected to be on
hand Monday with a well-filled bas-
ket. Coffee and lemonade will be
served and the part delegated to the
Red Cross society will be to furnish
the boys with some delicious ice
cream. The society will be glad if
some generous-hearted firms will
donate portion of the ice cream.
The entertainment and farewell re-
ception is to be under the auspices
of the Ada County Protective Asso-
citation, the Meridian Red Cross
chapter, the Farmers Home Club,
and the Locust Grove Grange. Ev-
cry one in the western half of the
county is invited and expected. For
the rest of the county, the invitation
is extended to the drafted boys and
their relatives and near friends. The
size of the grounds will not permit
of general invitation outside of the
district mentioned.

the same plan.
For graduation, two majors of

means that some other line besides
the English must be pursued for
three years. Two units of natural

social science are also required for

should be taken for two years by all
students who have any prospect of
going away to college. 1t is required
by practically all colleges.

should give good deal of thought
