The Red Cross is indebted 10 the
Frasers-Pence Company for the con-
nection for the electric iron.
The Red Cross is also greatly in
debted to the Idaho Power company
for an electric sewing machine
More chairs and sewing machir es
are needed. If you have a sewing ma
chine that you could spare for n
while won't you kindly lend it to the
Red Cross rooms? 1t will greatly aid
them in their work and will help yon
to do your bit. Chairs are badly need
ed If any one has a chair they can
spare, why not donate it to the Red
Cross. Or, il you have chair that
is not being used un account OF be-
ing slightly damaged, donate it to
the Red Cross and we feel sure some
one will be glad to help the good
cause by making the necessary re-
pairs.
A good heating stove is badly
needed for the Red Cross rooms
Here is q chance for some one to dc
a splendid service for the Red Cross
Jerome's allotment is $50 bed
shirts a month. 1t is going to taks
lots OF hard work to get out thi:
number. A compliance with the re
quest for machines. chairs and a stov'
will be a wonderful help. Worker;

hard work before us. 1t is your work
as well as any one else's, so COME
OUT AND HELP, Don't think it is
all over with. Our boys need your
help more than ever. Their active
service is just beginning and we must
stand by and help.
Many interesting letters are being
received from sailors and soldiers in
acknowledgment of the Christmas
packages sent out by this Chapter.
Most of the Jerome packages were
distributed to the training camps and
ships in harbor and the naval sta
tions in the Northwest Division.
The Red Cross ladies are giving a
series OF teas. There were ten held
last Saturday. which were very sue
cessful financially and were much en-
joyed by the ladies. This week each
one entertained last week is expected
to give a tea and entertain ten other
ladies. Some are going together and
entertaining twenty at a time. We
hope these teas will be continued for
at least a month, as each will bring
in a very tidy sum. Money is badly
needed for the material to be made
up into the hospital shirts. Your
hearty help and cooperation in this
work is most earnestly asked.
The regular monthly meeting OF
the Red Cross was held last evening
at the home of the Chairman. Mrs
Maud Piper. After disposing of the
routine business the resignation oi
Mr.. Ivan E. Bennett as treasurer was
read and accepted. Mr.. Bennett ex-
poets to enter the military service
very shortly, hence his resignation
which was accepted with great regret
The society was very fortunate in Sc
curing Mr.. F. E. EichelberGer as the
new treasurer. who was elected tt
that position. 1t was decided to pre-
pare and send out to each member o.
the society a financial statement tha
each one may know just where the
money that has been contributed ha!
gone to and why the Society is badl,
in need of local funds at this time.
Another of those delightful care
parties will be given at the North Sid
Inn in the near future.
The Red Cross will give a dane,
Tuesday evening. February 18th
Lincoln's birthday.
A box OF knitted garments is beini
sent out today to headquarters: Ac
acknowledgements have been receives
from some of the boys who receive
sweaters out OF the former shipmen
from Jerome, which proves that thes
articles are being put into service a
soon as received by headquarters.

should allow a newspaper published
In his town to go without his name

where in it's columns. This applies to
all kinds of business-general stores.
dry goods, groceries, furniture deal
ers, mechanics. automobile dealers.
manufacturing establishments, pro-
fessionals. amusement places, candy
stores, in fact all classes OF business
men. This does not mean that you
should have a whole or half or even
quarter page ad In every issue OF
the paper. but your name and busi-
ness should be mentioned II you do
not use more than a two line space.
A stranger picking up a newspaper
should be able to tell just what bust
ness is represented in town by look
ing at the buiness mentioned in the
paper. This is the best possible town
adviser The man who does not ad-
vertise his business does an in1us-
! tice TO himself and his city. He is
the man who expect the newspaper TO
do the most free advertising for his
town. The man who insists on shar-
ing the business that come to town
but refueses to advertise his business
is not a valuable addition to town.
The life of any town depends upon
the wideawake and liberal advertis-
ing man.-Ex.

school houses along the lines run
ming north and south
Some may object to placing the
buildings just three miles apart along
the lines running north and south
If they are built four miles apart
great many Of the pupils living
around the border of the district will
have over two miles to go.
We are already beginning to need
more building to care for the pupils
and will have to continue building
for many years to come. Are we
going to put all of them in Jerome
or promiscuously here and there over
the district or are we going to place
buildings systematically over the
rural territory OF the district? If The
latter let us begin at once. for it
will be expensive and a great deal of
i'll feeling to correct blunders. BY
starting Alright. we can put up good
lava-rock buildings, well lighted, ven
tilated and heated and so arranged
that additions can be built as neces-
sity demands.
Now listenl Chicago does not send
all of her pupils to one building. She
has wards all over the city 1t seem
ed a while the city was going to
spread all over Illinois in order to
make Greater Chicago"
Who knows about Jerome? She
has already applied to become a city
OF the second class. Her people are
so. full of push, it will be but few
years until Greater Jerome will COW

North Side Tract. Then let us start
at once to divide the wards system

Jerome's Rural School Houses

Jerome's Rural School Houses
There is coming a time when we
will have to build more school
houses. We will have to build them
either In Jerome or partly in Jerome
and partly in the rural territory.
A few of the advantages of having
rural school houses, are: First, 1t
gives place for. and encourages CEN
tralized communities.
Second: 1t practically eliminates
the wagons.
Third: 1t is impossible to drive the
wagon by every mans door. If you
have ever served on the school board
you know what 1t means If you do not
drive the wagon by every mans door.
Partially and graft are thrown into
your face. Il pay. taxes. therefore
want the wagon to come by my door
| II you are going to send it by my
neighbor's door" is a familiar re-
mark.
Fourth: Wagons are very expen
sive. The up-keep, as we'll as the
first cost also the drivers wages, in
surance, etc.
Fifth: Wagons are unsafe.
Sixth: The worse the weather the
less the service the wagon can give.
If we are going to build rural
school houses let us place them sys-
tematically over the district. Below
l offer a plan for your consideration,
would begin at Jerome and place
school houses every three miles north
and south along the section line.
Then starting again at Jerome, i. e.,
at the crossing of Lincoln and Main
streets l would go west two miles
then south one and a half miles; at
this point l would place school
house From this school house along
the line running north and south l
would place a school house every
three miles. Had the county line
been more than three miles west Of
Jerome i would have gone west OF
Jerome a mile and a half only to es-
tablish north and south line of
school houses. But as the county
line is only three miles away there
is room only for one line of school
houses between Jerome and the
county line. IL the people. who own
the tier OF forties along the county
line would build their dwellings on
the corners nearest the school houses,
no pupil would be over two miles
from school.
Starting again from Jerome
would go east the width OF two sec
tions, because the first tier of Sec
tions is only $50 rods wide. instead
OF $40 rods, thence south one and a
half miles. At this point l would
place school house. Along thi:
north and south line every. thre'
miles l would place a school build
ing. Thus l would continue placing
school houses three miles apart, to
wit: One and a half miles apart boti
east and west. and north and soutf
between each two school houses un
til the whole district was covered
would build the houses as fas
5 only as the number of pupils in eaci
. neighborhood justified the building
? of one.

In last weeks issue OF The Times
we made mention of long hike being
made by Miss Lois Fisk of Syracuse,
N. Y, for the Red Cross. From the
Statesman we give the following ac-
count of a cowardly attack on this
young lady by a rancher near Wen
dell:
w. T. Bartles, farmer living some
five miles northwest of Wendell, was
brought here Sunday by Sheriff Saun-
ders on charge OF assault with force
with intent to commit great bodily
harm and held for preliminary exam
ination under $500 bonds. The COM
plant is a woman giving her name as
Lois Fisk, who claims Bartles beat
her with a rifle. Bartles denies all
the charges.
The woman was found unconscious
on the railroad track and was taken
to Bliss by a train crew. Coroner
Cromwell. County Attorney Gaines
and Sheriff Saunders went from here
to Bliss. DR.. Cromwell found the
woman suffering from serious in
juries and believes she is hurt inter
nally.
Describes Assailant
From the woman's story and de-
scription, Sheriff Saunders soon To-
Gated and arrested Bartles as her as
sailant.
Miss Fisk claims she is travelling
from coast to coast on a wager In
behalf of the Red Cross. Saturday
she said, she was walking along the
tracks northwest of Wendell. See.
ing a farmhouse nearby, she crawl
ed through the fence and started to
go to the house. Several dogs or

and she shot one of them. A mar
came out OF the house following the
shot with a rifle, came up to her

weapon and drove her off the place
She says she crawled back through
the fence and started down the track
After walking about a mile she los

IDAHO IN THE WAR
What This State Has Done to Help
the Government

(From the Boise statesman's New
Year Edition)
What has Idaho done for the war:
She has sent $500 men into the
fighting service.
She has lent the government 316,-
100000.
She has given more than 100000
to the Red Cross.
She has contributed nearly $780,
90 to the army Y. M. C. A.
More than 100000 Idaho people
have become Red Cross members.
Idaho women have made surgical
dressings. bandages and hospital gar
ments and have knitted socks. sweat
ers, wristlets and helmets by tho
scores of thousands.
Weat. wheat, sugar and fat-those
four food essentials, with which the
world is fighting as with munitions
Idaho has produced them all in large
quantities. And the millions Of dol
lars worth of other foods the state
has raised-all these have helped
save meat and wheat and sugar and
fat, and so are helping Idaho to help
win the war.
Sugar? Idaho's seven factories
this year are estimated to have turn
ed out $4,000 tons-enough to have
supplied our army and navy for q
year If our entire output was placed
in the hands of the government for
distribution.
Wheat? Idaho marketed $500
carloads. in addition to what was used
at horne.
Fats? Idaho's dairies and cream
cries produce from $5,0O0,0O0 to 38,-
100000 worth of creamery products
a year.
Meat? Idaho supplied 100000
pounds Of dressed lamb and mutton
to the national larder. and shipped
72000 cars OF cattle. beside pork and
poultry.
Incidentally, too. those Idaho sheep
supplied enough wool to make uni
forms, overcoats and 10-pound blank
ers for an army of $4,000 men.
Idaho raised 335. 100000 worth of
hay, 100000 worth of fruit and
100000 worth of potatoes.
And the food Idaho saved! Food
cards have been signed by 63.285
families. representing "a per cent OF
the estimated population of the state
Idaho, in this respect, ranks third
among the states OF the union.
Idaho's women are cooking patri-
otically-wheatless days and meatless
days are commonplace-andt the chill
dren are eating patriotically; they
have given up their candy. and for
play they have been making gardens
and selling Liberty Bonds and knit
ting.
Home canning and back yard gar
dening have increased the food re-
sources.
From Idaho's hills $4,000 horses
and mules have been supplied to the
United States army.
billion feet of Idaho lumber has
gone. directly or indirectly. into the
conduct OF the war-into fruit boxes.
helping solve the food problem. into
cantonment buildings, into ship tim
bers, into atrplane construction.
Idaho's mines have poured $780,
100000 into the national wealth.
They have produced 350,000.00O
pounds of lead. 75.O0O.0oo pounds OF
zinc, 100000 pounds OF copper.
100000 ounces OF silver and 49,

NERVOUSNESS
ON THE DECLINE
Doctors Encouraged,
They Hold Out Hope
for All

Nothing wrong but my nerves.
We hear it at home, at work and
everywhere. Certainly. nervousness
is a disease. A man or woman
might better have a broken leg
than a shattered, run down ner-
vous system.
Overwork and worry drains the
nerve cells and centers OF all
their strength and vitality, then
you get your sleepless nights, poor
blood, nervousness, worry and fear
that goes with a WORKOUT, broken
down nervous system. The better
doctors of today know just what TO
do in cases OF this kind. They know
that few weeks use OF Phos-
phated Iron rarely fails to
strengthen, stimulate and feed the
Phosphate hungry nerve centers.
Phosphated Iron certainly does
take hold The way the majority
of patients come back is remark
able. You can almost see their
nerves grow steady, strong and
peaceful.
What a change in appearance
too. The cheeks become filled out
and flushed with the healthy rudy
glow that only pure, red, ironized
blood can give, eyes sparkle, their
step has the spring and swing Of
youth and their whole system
seems to be alive with energy and
good spirits.
Mr.. Nervous Man or Woman,
Phosphated Iron will do all this for
you If you will give it a chance Do
not drag around, all in and half
dead another day when help is so
near Get busyi and be a live one
once again.
To insure doctors and their pa
tents getting the genuine Phos-
phated Iron We have put in cap

To give you pills or tablets. Insist
