Prune growers are nervous over an
unprecedented drop of fruit from
the trees and are at loss to account
for the fall. T. E. Hance ascribes the
cause to the cold backward spring.
The fruit, which has grown to good
size, shrivels up and in a few days
drops to the ground. The loss will
be heavy in all orchards, it is feared.

HIGH SCHOOL
is STANDARD
Credentials of Emmett Graduates Will
Be Accepted by Any NV. College

To correct a report that the creden-
tials of graduates from the Emmett
High school would not be accepted
by the state university and other
universities and colleges in the
Northwest, Superintendent V. H. De-
Bolt has issued the following state
ment:
'To the Graduates and Patrons of
the Emmett High School:
Regarding the accreditment of the
Emmett High school, l wish to make
the following announcement and ex-
planation:
Sometime in March, 1917, circu-
lar went out from the office of the
commissioner of education, listing the
accredited schools of the state in their
proper rating, according to the in
spection of the previous year. In this
circular Emmett, with some other
high schools of A class, was marked
with a star and an explanatory note
at the bottom of the sheet, indicating
deficiency in some particular. How
ever, this did not effect the accredit-
ment, but was simply meant as a
warning.
al took the mutter up with the reg
istrar of the university and submitted
our curriculum, schedule of classes
and other data bearing on accredit-
ment, which they promptly approved.
We requested an inspection of the
commissioner of education and Prof.
Bronson, of the Technical Institute at
Pocatello, inspected our High school
and grade system in April, but, owing
to change in the commissioners
office, the results Of his inspection
were not acted upon officially until
very recently, when l received the
following letter:
"'Supt. V. H. DeBolt. Dear Sir
We have rated the Emmett High |
school as fully standard. This is
based on the report of Professor
Bronson's recent visit to your schools.
Accept my congratulations upon this
attainment.

 ''Quser looking dump isn't it?''
 Dr. Petit and Were seated op- posite each other at a small table in the ''oldest chop and oyster house" in New York. I looked around me with interested eyes. The exhilaration of (the reckless mood in which I had ac- Ecompanied Dr. Petit to the restaurant |-a mood born of Dicky's leaving me in the terrible crush around Madison Square Garden and his foolish anger afterward It finding that Dr. Petit had taken care of me-was still upon me.

There are some subjects on which many people simply will not use their customary common sense.
 One is love; another is money, es- pecially in relation to it's investment.
 Many people, who are intelligent enough to make money and self con- trolled enough to save it, are neither intelligent or self controlled in what they expect that money to do.
 They don't seem to have an idea i of using a two-and- d-two-makes-four- and- can't possibly -make-five brand of common sense on this subject.
 They Hope So Hard That They Don't
 Reason.
 I suppose they hope so hard that hope completely dominates reason.
 For instance, we were speaking of someone who is paying for his house by paying twenty-five dollars to the cooperative bank monthly. In ten years he will own his house.
 There" said the Authorman's Wife, ''now why couldn't you have done that with the little house we bought. We get thirty dollars rent and we could turn twenty-five right in. Why. just think, we pay hum dred and twenty-five dollars year on our mortgage and that doesn't re- duce 1t one bit. I always felt there was some better way but you would go, to that bank" %
 He Thought 1t Useless to Explain.
 The Authorman started to speak, then gave her a looks in which in credulity, anger and enforced toler- ance were blended, shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
 It was the Cynic who came to his rescue and explained that the man who was paying for his house was paying tax rates, water rates and re- pairs. beside the cooperative pay ment; that to do as he was doing she would have to turn over most of
