church spires, and farther away the
green farms and low fields, dotted
here and there with seeming doll
houses, nestled among the trees.

Of the chief activities Of our school.

AS the football season is over now,
cur boys are playing the teams of
other schools, and although we some
times lose as well as win, think
that there is no one in the academy
who does not thoroughly enjoy the
games.
We study hard and play hard, but
the social life Of the students is not
neglected. Every other Sunday after
noon a reception is given for the
bows and girls in the parlors of Car
ron Hall. We had a picnic about
three weeks after school started at
the head of the beautiful San Marcos
river. We all became better acquaint-
ed, and everyone enjoyed the delic-
icus lunch which Mrs. McMullen, our
dietitian, served us.
On the night of November II, when
peace was declared, we had a big
celebration. AS the boys we're in San
Antonio, playing Peacock Military
School game Of football, the girls
did most Of the celebrating that night.
The next dav, however, we were
given holiday, and had big pa
rade of all the students of the acad
envy, carrying flags, bugles, tin pans
and drums. They all lined up with
streamers of red, white and blue
bunting, and after having their pic
lures taken, marched all over the
town Of San Marcos to let all know
how happy we were over the won
derful news. When we came back,
fine dinner awaited US in the din
ing room, which was decorated for
the occasion in patriotic colors. At
ter the ice cream was served, we had
short speeches by members of the
faculty, including a delightful read

DIED.

Charles E. Dresser died at his home
east of town on Friday, after an i'll
ness from asthma and complications
of several months. Charles Elberr
Dresser was born at Postville, ALA
makee county, Iowa, March 5, 19 Z;
A wife and two children are left to
mourn his death. Lawrence, the elcer
of the two sons, is in the service in
France; the other boy, Albert, is .
years old. He also leaves his aged
parents, sister Cora and two brott-
ers, Wilbur of Postville, Iowa, and
Leonard of this city. He spent his
early life on the farm in Iowa, leav-
ing there in 1885 for western Kansa3.
where he spent nearly four years on
a homestead. From there he went
back to Iowa, where he remained un-
til coming to Idaho in 1909. For many
years he was a patient sufferer from
asthma, which seemed to partially
leave him after his coming west. In
1893, together with his two brothers,
he was baptized and became a men,
ber of the M. E. church at Postville,
Iowa. Though being unable to at
tend regularly he always took an in
terest in church work and was a de-
voted christian gentleman. He was a
good industrious citizen, kind neigh
Dor and was held in the highest es-
,eem by those who knew him. The
,uneral was held Monday from the
Methodist church, Rev. f. E. Finley
the services, and inter
nent was in Riverview cemeteey.

MONTH
Being Registered for Last General
Election Does Not Count

Again The Index calls attention
to the new law, which requires that
every voter must register this year
in order to participate in the primary
election September 3 and the regular
election in November. You can no
longer swear in your vote at the
elections. The last day for registra-
ton for the primaries is August p,
but do not wait until the last day or
the last week. Do it now while you
think of it.

as registrar of the Mort Emmett pre-

DeClark to succeed him, does not in
validate the registrations made by

DENTS
Paul Fest Falls Down Stairs-Two
Fall from Hay Wagon

Paul, the young son of Mr.. and Mrs
Leo Fest, seems to have been born un.
der an unlucky star. He certainly
has had his share of misfortune. His
latest mishap was in falling down
stairs at the ranch home in Garden
Valley and sustaining painful in
juries. Two teeth were knocked out
and long cash was cut in his lower
lip, which required several stitches
to close the wound. His parents
brought him to town this morning for
medical treatment.
Fred Harper is confined to his bed
by severe injuries received Monday,
when he fell off load of grain which

fell on his shoulders and is suffering
intense pain.
A. S. Honey, on the South Slope,

while hauling hay. His injuries, how
ever, are not of as serious nature as
thos, of Mr.. Harper.
Fred Amsbaugh got his thumb
against the rip saw in the Michigan
Idaho planning mill Tuesday and the
upper portion of that member was
nearly ripped off. 1t was put back in
place and the doctor believes it will
unite again.

THE OUT OF TOWN RESIDENT.

Many people living in Gem county
have various connections here in EN-
NETT, friends, relatives and business
interests.
On second thought, you will observe
how intimately each one is associated
and reacts upon the other for the
welfare of the community. For ex-
ample:
A man living fifteen miles outside
of Emmett telephones a friend living
on Fourth street that he has prime
litter of porkines to dispose of, and
asks him to find a customer.
The friend finds a man whose curl
osity is aroused by the description.
He drives out, inspects the pigs and
purchases them along with another
fancy grunter he has found 10 mis- lik-
ing.
The farmer who made the sale
promptly mails the check he receives
in payment to the First National Bank
where it is deposited to his account,
and with all his funds amply protect
ed by the Federal Reserve Banking
System, they are perhaps circulated
with other portions of the banks de-
posits in loans, the various purposes
of which must be provenly helpful to
community progress.
This little incident will illustrate
how, through banking affiliations,
community interests are served, and
in this instance, as in many others of
like nature, the mails were an actual
instrument.
1t is no longer necessary for per-
sons living at distance to keep extra
funds in the house until visit TO
the banks headquarters is practical
and convenient. This plan is out-of-
date, obsolete, particularly so since
owing to labor shortage and war con-
ditions, the farmer, who has become
a prime factor in world economics, !
must conserve his valuable time. Dis
lance is no barrier; banking by mail
banking, brings the bank
nearer home.
Many have followed its practice for
years. 1t is no experiment and has
stood the test of time with absolute

TO GUARD FOODSTUFFS
Federal Food Administration Offers
Suggestions to Avoid Fires.

In order to prevent the loss of food
stuffs from destructive fires, the Fed
eral food administrator for Idaho ur-
gently recommends and requests that
those directly concerned observe the
following regulations:
First. That, for the purpose of
eliminating fires, every railroad ap-
point man, or men, to carefully in
spect spark arresters, or other equip
ment, on engines before they leave
the terminal for trip; and keep a
record of such inspection which can
be referred to at any time by our duly
authorized agent, in the event that it
becomes necessary to investigate the
origin of fire.
Second. That the farmers set their
wheat shocks back at least 100 feet
from the railroad fence and plow a
fire guard of at least three burrows
between the shocks and the railroad
track
Third. That the farmers stack
hay and grain as far from the railroad
tracks as possible, but where the
stacks are left in the field within a
quarter of mile of the tracks, fire
guard be plowed around them, and
the ground from which the hay ard
grain were taken be carefully raked
and the rakings removed as soon as
possible.
Fourth. That a fire guard be made
at least ten feet wide over all ditch
banks, where dry weeds and grass
exist from which fire might spread
and burn up grain and other stored
