Modern Veterinary Hospital

DR.. H. H. Prestel has completed his
plans for a modern veterinary hos
pital and work already has been start
ed on the building. AS stated in a
previous issue of The Index, the build
ing will be located on lots facing Third
street, in the rear of Mr.. Prestel's
residence which will also be built
this spring. 1t will have a frontage
of "a feet, and be constructed of
cement blocks with a cement floor
throughout. 1t will be equipped with
modern appliances, which will include
an operating table, for times have
changed and live stock is now given
the same humane treatment and medi-
cal attention that humans are accus-
toned to. We don't know whether
horse has an appendix or not, but if
he has he's liable to lose it now. DR..
Prestel declares that it is no longer
necessary to kill an animal with a
broken leg; it may be mended as are
the broken bones of human beings.

WARNING to Farmers.

No federal farm bank loans will be
made until after July l and any men
who represent themselves to be gov
ernment officers connected with the
Federal Farm Loan bank offering to
make loans provided $50 is paid to
them in advance are probably impos-
ters, according to information receiv-
ed by V. T. Craig from the U. S.
sub-treasurer at San Francisco. 1t is
explained the announcement is made
at this time "to protect the farmer
from confidence men who are repre-
senting themselves to be government
officers connected with the Federal
Farm Loan bank, and offering to
make farm loans with the proviso
that $50 is to be paid to them in ad-
vance"

been called for guard duty on trans
portation and communication lines

three weeks before he joins his com
rades.
Three new recruits were added to

The farmers of America were ap-
pealed to by Secretary Houston Tues
day to join in agricultural prepared
ness measures, so that the country
may not be handicapped by food
shortage in its efforts to meet the
international crisis. Elimination of
waste, conservation of surplus, and
attainment of maximum of crop re-
turns, were outlined as imperative
steps for strengthening agricultural
resources.
Both for economic and patriotic
reasons" the secretary said, in for
NAL statement, "the American farmer
should strive this year for the high
est standard of efficiency in the pro-
duction and conservation of food.
'Under the conditions in which
this country now finds itself, it is
that everything practica-
Bile be done to increase the efficiency
of agricultural activities during the
coming season. 1t is desirable that
throughout the country farmers confer
themselves on matters affect
ing the production of needed crops,
and that they consult freely with
county agents, state agricultural col
leges and the department of agricul-
ture"

Sweets Good Citizen.

The Squaw creek country ought to
be mighty proud of A. D. Stanton, the
banker at Sweet When the hay fam
inc became so severe that the danger
of losing large numbers of cattle was
imminent, Mr.. Stanton, at his own
risk, bought 100 tons of hay in Wash
ington, shipped it to Montour and
sold it at cost, which was s23. That
kind of citizen is a big asset to any
community.

ANOTHER FRUIT PACK
ING PLANT
Earl Fruit Company to Erect a
Large Warehouse in EN-
NETT This Year.

The prestige of Emmett as
fruit growing district has been given
another boost .y the announcement
that the Earl Fruit Company of New
York and Chicago, one of the largest
fruit buying concerns in the country,
will this year build in Emmett a large
fruit packing plant.
The announcement was made this
week to A. A. Richards in letter re-
ceived from P. " Martin, western re-
preventative of the Earl company. The
building will be 100 100 feet in di-
mensions and will be located on the
right-of- of the Idaho Northern.
The plant will be completed in time
to handle this seasons crop.
1t was the Earl Fruit company who
several years ago made public an
nouncement that Emmett grown
prunes are the best in the world. They
have for many years handled the en-
tire output of the Westlake fruit
farms prune orchard.
The same letter also announces that
the company will build fruit drying
plant at Meridian.

address in final shape until the last
moment.
There is no doubt in the minds of
administration officials that, what
ever may be it's details, the policy laid
before congress will be both vigorous
and comprehensive. The general opin-
ion is that the program most likely to
be followed by congress will include
declaration that state of war ex-
lists between the United States and
Germany, an authorization for the
president to use the armed forces of
the nation to protect its rights; the
granting of large credit to the gov
ernment to carry out it's policy, pas
sage of censorship and espionage bills
with provisions for the employment
of additional secret service agents.
No final decision has been reached
as to whether financial assistance
shall be given the entente allies, al
though strong sentiment for such a
step exists among government offic-
ials. If this is done, the government
will deal directly with the
other governments concerned, and not
through agents.

Recruiting Idaho Infantry.

Recruiting of the Second Idaho in
fantry to war strength was ordered
by the war department, western di-
vision, by night letter telegram re-
ceived by Adjutant General Moody
Tuesday morning from San Francisco
and Adjutant General Moody and
Captain Max CARRIER, U. S. A., Tues
day night issued an appeal for the
enlistment of HOO men, in the next
10 days if possible. The war strength
of the regiment is POOP. When the
regiment recently was mustered out
it had, according to Captain CARRIER,
about $50 men, which would make the
necessary further enlistment of 1112.
Adjutant General Moody and Cap
tain CARRIER were emphatic that Ida
hos first duty was to its regiment, in
asmuch as it had been ordered into
he federal service. Furthermore, they
said, it was provided that any COM
pany, battalion or regiment, IS per
cent of the members of which became
should be mustered into
the volunteer service, which they said
should be sufficient answer to men
who excused themselves from joining
the militia on the ground that they
wanted to volunteer. They were en-
phatic that, so far as the state was
the filling of the regimen
tai quota would take precedence over
any volunteer movement.

c. 4. Barton, manager of the Boise
Payette Lumber company of Boise,
and Dr. w. H. Tukey, the company's
surgeon of this city, went to Cascade
Tuesday of last week. Since then
snowslides have blockaded the road

since. Mr.. Barton came out Tuesday
on skis, after a hard trip that sew
erely taxed his strength. DR.. Tukey
didn't tackle the skis. Mr.. Barton

WILL Be Big YEAR FOR
EMMETT
Building Operations Will Exceed
Quarter Million Dollars by
Next Fall.

The year 1917 is going to be the
busiest and best in Emmett's history
A conservative estimate places the
cost of new buildings that will be
erected this year at a quarter of a
million dollars. These include business
blocks and residences. Active work is
now under way on IL new store build
ings and garages, and at least 100 new
residences will be built before the
summer is over. Many of them are
already under way. Men who are
willing to work are employed, and
will continue to find steady employ
ment all year. The above estimate
does not include the buildings to be
erected by the Boise-Payette Lumber
Company's retail department and
those of the Citizens Lumber Com
pany, nor the sewer work now in
progress or in prospect in the new
sewer district Nor the new Short
Line depot which is practically assur-
ed.
Nor is the prosperity to be con-
fined to the town. In the farming
country tributary to the city there is
great activity. Much new land will
be put under cultivation this spring
and not an acre of old land will be
allowed to remain idle. Prices for
farm products and fruit, as well as
stock, will continue high for an in
definite period.

How to Display Flags.

The display of flags all over the
city calls to mind the rule governing
the display of the American flag
which are as follows: The proper
time for raising the flag is sunrise
or after, never before. In draping the
flag against the side of a room or
building, the proper position for the
blue field is toward the north or tow
ard the east. 1t is a mark of disres-
pect to allow the flag to fly through
out the night.

The closing number in the lecture
course, given by the Hungarian orches-

Emmett has ever enjoyed. 1t was a
feast such as one seldom is privileged
to partake of, and the audience that
packed the Ideal Theater was entranc-

led character as to provide something
for all tastes. In the afternoon the

Among the list of the stockholders

to the special tax which may be levied
for maintaining a gymnasium. At
present this tax is limited only by the
provision that the grand total district
tax may not exceed 20 mills. This
means that it would be legally impos-
sible for some districts to levy 10
mills for the support of gymnasium.
This bill limits the gymnasium tax
absolutely to maximum of one mill.
The amendment also cuts out certain
complicated provisions which are of
no real value and have already given
rise to legal conflicts. (b) Sec. 129c.-
The second provision allows independ-
ent district to levy over the maximum
of ten mills up to Is mills with the
approval of the State Board of Educa-
tion. (c) Section 129aa-This pro-
vision was passed in 1913, but owing
to conflict with other bills has been
declared by the courts of non-effect.
1t attempted to change the number
of teachers required to constitute an
independent district Class "a" from
35 to 20. The educational system has
been running on this basis for three
years and this amendment is included
simply to validate the intention of the
Legislature in 1913 and the actual con-
ditions now existing.
Senate Bill No. 167-The present
laws contain a mass of ambiguous
and conflicting provisions concerning
the qualifications of voters at school
elections. After the most thoro study
of this question with the aid of coun-
ty superintendents, school trustees,
and legal advice, this act is submitted
which clears up the whole matter and
reduces it to absolute simplicity; the
new provisions are as follows: (D All

they offer to vote at least thirty days
preceding the election
and who are: (a) freeholders, includ-

,eedingly interesting history for the

Improving Residence Property.

The Durham Sisters with their
characteristic enterprise, are making
such improvements to their residence
property at Main and Mckinley streets
as will transform that hitherto un-
slightly spot into one of beauty. When
their new modern bungalow is COM
pleted cement curbing will be put in
and the parking sown to grass and
shade trees planted. 1t gives promise
of being one of the prettiest spots in
town.
