GEM NEARS
THE GOAL
Two-thirds of this County's Bond
Quota Is Raised

Gem county has turned into the
homestretch in its Liberty Bond drive
and it is hoped to go under the wire
by Saturday night, according to Mana
ger V. T. Craig.
Up to yesterday afternoon two
thirds of Gems quota of 100000 had
been raised, with quite number of
the outlying districts yet unreported.
The greater part of this amount has
been subscribed in Emmett and con-
tiguous territory.
1t is hoped to go "over the top" by
Saturday night. 1t should be done and
can be done if everyone will get in
and do his derndest. The Boy Scouts
will take the field Saturday and ex-
pect to put the drive over in whirl
wind campaign. If you haven't sub
scribed, dear reader, read the news OF
the great battle and you will have an
irresistible desire TO take hand in
the game.
Put Gem county cover the top this
week.

the working hours. In the fall the
time is set back one hour, SO we will
have to stay here until fall if we ever
want to get that hour back. But I am
sure that most of US would be willing
TO lose that hour if the war would
end and we could get back to the
states again.
Uncle Sam has opened a sales com
missary here and is selling supplies,
such as candies, canned fruits, toilet
articles and supplies, tobaccos and
cigars and other articles of similar
nature to the soldiers. 1t opened for
business yesterday and / went down
this afternoon and made some pur-
chases. Everything there is very
cheap, cheaper than we can buy the
same things for in the state and things
that are not for sale in France, so it
is really Godsend to US.
Work at the hospital is still going
full blast. We are full all the time
and everyone is working, with mighty
few vacations for anyone. Last Fri

EMMETT BOYS invent
GREAT MOTOR
Gasoline Engine of John Bayston
Attracts Government and
Motor Officials

Two Emmett boys, John Bayston
and Chester Moore, have invented a
gasoline engine that will probably be
big factor in the winning Of the war.
The engine is of a distinct new type,
being non-freezing and so simple as
to be trouble proof and fool proof. 1t
has been examined by government ex-
perts, as well as by experts of pro-
minent motor car factories and has re-
ceived their unqualified endorsement.
Henry Ford has made lucrative offer
for the motor, but the boys have de-
cided to organize a company to manu-
facture it, and John Bayston is now in
Chicago with that end in view. Two
Chicago capitalists have offered to fin
ance the proposition and organize the
company. 1t is probable this offer
will be accepted.
John Bayston and Chester Moore
went to Denver few years ago and
became students in an automobile col
lege. While there they made special
study of motors, saw the possibilities
of an improved type that would be
non-heating and non-freezing, and
worked to that end. That they have
succeeded is evidenced by the en-
dorsement given the machine by motor
experts of the government and private
Government officials say
the motor is especially adapted for
airplanes. The boys are to be con-
graduated upon their success
Mrs. Bayston and baby are in En-
nett visiting Mr.. Bayston's mother.
