CAR TURND TURTLE
Three Times
c. L. Burt and Companion Es-
sezpe Injuries in Accident on
Shellrock Grade

While returning from a weeks hunt
ing trip in the hills Monday, C. l.
Burt and r. J. Butts of Star met with
what might have been most serious
accident.
On Shellrock hill, as Mr.. Butts at
tempted to shift gears, in some way il
failed to operate properly and went
into neutral, and the car started back
ward Mr. Burt had stepped out to
block the wheel, but the momentum
sent the wheel over the block, and the
car turned over three times. Mr..
Butts appeared from beneath the car
calling, mot hurt bit," which proved
to be Practically true, as he was
scarcely bruised.
The car was badly damaged, but the
two men walked in to Frozen Dog
ranch, where Mr.. Hunter gave them a
lift, bringing them to town. Mr.. Burt
and Mr.. Butts must have started their
trip at the wrong sign of the zodiac
as they report their first failure in
five years annual hunt to bring in
some big game-and then to have to
walk hoinel Still they are thankful
they were able to do so.

ALL SCHOOLS ARE
CLOSED
Precautions Taken to Guard Against
Influenza

County Superintendent Ella Breshears
received a telegram Saturday from
the State Board of Health ordering
that all schools be closed, whereupon
the following order was issued: "Pur-
suant to law and in compliance with
directions from the Idaho State Board
of Health, it is hereby ordered that all
public schools within Gem county, be
and remain closed from and after date
of this order: and that this order shall
be and remain effective until released
by said state board of health. This
order is designed to prevent the fur
ther spread of the disease known as
Spanish influenza"
The order was made applicable to
private and church schools as well as
public schools. Many of the teachers
and students of both city and country
schools returned to their homes, while
some took the opportunity to visit
friends near by. DR.. Cummings, city
health officer, states that locally there
are few, if any cases, and with sens
ible precaution on the part of the gen
eral public it is hoped to prevent the
epidemic getting any hold here.
There are few cases at 6ramwell,
in the Tom Clark family.

UNITED WARWORK
CAMPAIGN
One Weeks Drive Nov. 11-18-Gem
County's Quota $4500

The influence of the American home
follows the American fighting man
clear to the front line trenches. 1t is
the first time in the worlds history
that this is the case. This influence
is carried overseas by the seven great
welfare organizations doing work
among the soldiers, the Y. M. C. A,
X. of c., Y. w. C. A., Jewish Welfare
League, War Camp Community Ser
vice, American Library Association,
and the Salvation Army. Huts are es-
tablished where the soldier may spend
furnished him and he is given that
his leisure time. Entertainment is
care and attention that he would have
received in a greater measure, at home
These huts overseas are the nearest
thing to home that the soldier knows.
To support this great work there will
be a drive for funds by the United
War Work Campaign November Ills.
Finley Monroe has been appointed
manager for Gem County, and will be
assisted by Geo. Huebener in charge
of the Four Minute Men and A. Simon
as publicity manager. This county's
quota has been placed at $4,000.
