I FAKE FIRE CALL
RAISES ANGER
Fire Run Made at 1915 P.
M. Calls Many People
From Beds. Probable
That Investigation Will
Pe Demanded.

The poor old volunteer fire de-
partment is suffering from an almost
total eclipse of popularity on account
Of The inconvient and illogical hour
at which their last practice run was
made. There was a called meeting
of the department Thursday evening
and just about the time it had ad
journed and the members were nice
ly home comes a mighty blast from
the fire whistle and almost at the
same instant the fire truck came out
and started it's run. A run was made
out to the Crandall place, where the
Daugherty family lives and the fam
ily rushed out in their night clothes,
before they discovered that they had
been spoofed. The alarm is alleged
to have been turned in from God
dard pastime, but Oryille Johnson
who was on duty there stated that he
saw no one use the phone. Nearly
half the town was safe in bed and a
large number of people dressed and
came up town It is stated that
large delegation of aggrieyed citi-
zens will demand an investigation of
the occurrence at the next meeting
OF the city dads.

Henry Arlington Boyle.

A former resident of Mountain
Home, Mr.. Henry Arlington Boyle,
died of typhoid fever in La Grande,
Oregon, March 20, 1918, his remains
being brought to this place Friday
night for burial, accompanied by his
widow and little daughter, and his
brother and wife, Joseph Boyle of
Mountain Home who had gone to La
Grande at the call of the sudden
turn of the brothers illness, just a
little too late to see him alive.
The deceased was born at Rodney,
Ontario, Canada, Feb. 26, 1880, and
was 3S years and 22 days in this
life.
Mr.. Boyle took to wife Miss Nellie
L. Brown Sept. %, 1909, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Brown of
Mountain Home. To their wedlock
one child was given, Theresa seven
years of age.
Besides his wife and little daughter
he is survived by a father and sister,
Mrs. Margaret Holland, of Canada; /;
five brothers, he being the youngest
of eight brothers, the living being,
James D. Boyle of Minnesota, Frank
w. and Geo E. of s. Dakota, John H.
Saskatchewan and Joseph H. Boyle
Of Mountain Home.
Mr. Boyle was a member of the
Masonic and Eastern Star lodges,
also of Odd Fellows and Modern
Woodman These lodges occupied
reserved seats at the funeral services
which were held at the Congregation
al church Sunday afternoon, March

Among other selections by quartete,
special duet by request was sung
by Mrs. Peake and Miss Blunk, We
Shall Meet at the Eastern Gate.

initial was given by the Masonic
Order at the grave. Much sympathy
goes out to the breaved in their affic-
ton.

MORE THAN TON OF
CLOTHES FOR USE
IN BELGIAN RELIEF

The drive for clothing to relieve
the needs Of Belgium met more
than generous response in Mountain
Home The material was gathered
and packed at f. G. Ticknor's office
last Saturday, at which time 1884
garments, 255 pairs of shoes and IS
caps, all wearable material in good
shape, with a total weight of 2240
pounds, was packed for shipment
This is a remarkable showing con-
sidering the fact that no personal
solicitation was done and that the
quota given this county was but
1000 pounds. Several boxes were
sent in from Glenns Ferry.
Mrs Ticknor was chairman of the
work in Elmore county, and secured
her collection by advertising, A
number of ladies and men gave their
help Saturday to preparing and pack
ing the clothing for shipment. Among
them were Mrs. S. S. Eckstein, Mrs
Whitaker, Mrs. Dora Hall, Mrs. A..
f. Anderson, Mrs Thackray, Mrs.
Fred Bennett, Mrs. VIM. Devlin, Mrs.
Ticknor, f. G. Ticknor and M. G..
Grebe, the latter having gotten the
boxes and attended to the necessary
carpentering.

SCHOOL GARDENS
WILL HELP NATION
TO WIN THE WAR

Agriculture has always been called
one of the ARTS of peace. Why
then, do people talk of war gar
dens'?
II is not so difficult question as
it sounds. This year those who are
to plant and cultivate gardens
whether of the home, school, or com
munity type, should bear in mind
that nowadays the growing of yege-
tables has become a form of patriotic
service. Every act connected with
with the garden whether it be the
question of what to plant or when to
plant it, or what fertilizer to USE
ought TO be prepared to meet final
test of whether it will help in the
winning OF the war.
These are the days when you
should say over and over to your
selves, not only about gardens but
about everything else: "Is this thing
that l am about to do going to help
M country in winning the war;
That is the question which not only
you, but every man, woman, and
child in the whole nation ought to
ask himself
Until they begin to ask it of them
selves, and act upon it, this war will
not be won,
So in regard to gardens VIII they
beautify unsightly vacant lots? Yes.
VIII they increase community spirit?
Yes. Will they better public health?
Yes. VIII they furnish vegetables
more cheaply than these can be
bought? AS rule, yes.
All these points should encourage
people to grow gardens this year.
Iut here is the decisive reason for
them viii they help to win the
war? Yes.
For that reason. every garden to-
day is a wargarden.

7. B. TO BE FOUGHT
WITH STAMP MONEY
Ninety Per Cent of Money
Raised From Christmas
Stamp Sales to be Used
Against tuberculosis in
Idaho.

A war program, drawn up by the
National Association for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis at the re-
quest cf the Council of National De-
Tense and working in cooperation
with the Surgeon General and Ma
tional War Work Council of the Y.
M. G. A., will be carried out in every
State of the Union by the Anti-Tuber-
culosis Associations in cooperation
with the State and Councils of De-
fense. the State Boards of Health
and Civilian Relief of the Red Cross.
The Associations will undertake to
zee that every soldier, rejected at the
eontonments for tuberculosis, has
medical care and is sought how to
protect his family and community
from infection A list OF men re-
jected for this disease is furnished
the Anti-Tuberculosi societies, the
State Boards of Health and Directors
Of Civilian Relief of the Red Cross by
fne Surgeon Generals Department.
The reflections vary from / per cent
to per cent in the different states.
ldaho's part in this War program
viii be difficult because she has no
machinery with which to work, no
State or County Institutions In which
TO care for these men, no dispensar-
les or public health nurses; how
ever, she hopes, with the money de-
rived this year from the sale Of Red
Cross seals, $6,86232 to do her part
for Idaho men rejected now, and to
bend every effort toward procuring
sanitarium care for men returned
from France with tuberculosis. The
Government will care for the latter
as near to their own home as possible,
utilizing existing institutions, in this
way men may be near their families
after separation in France. Must
! Idaho men be cared for outside their
own State for lack of Tubercular
hospitals?
Part of the proceeds of the Red
Cross Seal sale will be devoted to
procuring a Visiting Nurse who will
aid in this follow-up work of the re-
jected soldier and the general health
work in the state.
The most interesting and hopeful
part of the program will be the per-
8onal work called The Modern
health Crusade" which will be put
into the schools as fast as possible.
This is the National preventive
work and is made most attractive
with stories and wall charts and in
aignia. In the nation over 100000
children are Crusaders" and Idaho
has 5000 enrolled.

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
.:.:...,..:...:..:................::n:.:
BY J. G.. Watts.

There seems to be considerable
Misunderstanding among our people
as to the real changes that will be
affected by a change from a common
school district to an Independent dis
trict 1t is for the purpose of cor
recting any false information that
may have been given you, and ac-
Quainting you with the real changes
that will be brought about by be-
coming independent, that this article
is written.
The first radical change noted is
that the Board of trustees will be
changed from three members to six
members.
Section 124 of Chapter 159, laws
Of 1911 provides that the officers of
the district shall consist of a board
of trustees, composed of six qualified
electors who are resident freeholders
within the district. The first board
of trustees must be appointed by the
Board Of County Commissioners inn
mediately after the district is so es-
tablished and shall hold their Office
for terms as follows; Two until the
next school election under the pro-
visions hereof, two for one and two
for two years after such election,
and until their successors are elected
and qualified. Said board so appoint
ing must designate the term of each
trustee so appointed Section 125

French Give Aid.

PARIS. The French went to the
assistance of the British and took
over section of the battle front, the
war Office announces.
In the region of Noyon and on the
right bank of the Disc heavy fighting
with the Germans is in progress.
The statement follows:
French troops began to intervene
on March 23 in the battle now being
fought on the British front. They
relieved certain of the allied forces
and took up lighting themselves on
this sector Of the front.
AT the present time they are en-
gagged in heavy fighting in the region
Of Noyon, and they are disputing the
heights of the right bank of the 0ise
with important German forces.
Northwest of Rheims there has
been violent artillery action in the
region of Courcy and Loivre. In the
Champagne two German surprise at
lacks esat Of Suippes resulted in fail
ure French patrols took some pris-
oners near Tahure.
There was much artillery activity
