Grafton the granting Of an emergency
fund of $4,000 to the State Tubercu-

guilty of lent ~profiteering to de sist
from the practice lest they make nee
essary extraordinary measures which
would unavoidably impose q hardship
upon the innocent as well as the

provocation for indignation amongst

as much as fifty TO 100 per cent to

which might probably be left to the
civil courts" the governor went on
to say, land undoubtedly would be

in q war, and the population OF GER

This action on the part Of the exec

A Back East Storm

Emmett people who formerly lived
in the Middle states were given re-
minder of their younger days in the
unusual electric storm that struck
this section Tuesday evening. Old
Jupiter Pluvius staged display of
fireworks that was not to be sneezed
at, even by old Kansas and Nebraska
people. The storm lasted two or three
hours and was accompanied by some
wind and rain. Some damage is re-
ported, but not of a serious nature.
Our Bramwell correspondent reports
that Tom Clark was knocked over by
the lightning while milking and also
the COW, but neither one suffered any
serious consequences. Mrs. Elmer
Hess of Letha was knocked down and
was unconscious for an hour or more
and LATE Cantrall's house in Round
Valley was struck and the chimney
demolished. Here in town the only
damage heard of was the breaking of
the prism glass in the Alexander store

"Uncle Sam is clothing and feeding

clothing. They also have access to hot
shower baths, in fact it is compulsory
for them to take hot bath, at least
once a week.
"We have large hospital located
here. 1t has 700 beds. Major Clark, of
Emmett, has charge of it and has
made a wonderful institution out of
it. Most of its personnel are Idaho
boys. Lieutenant Shook, of Twin
Falls, is chief dental surgeon of the
dental work in the divisional area.
He has adopted a system of dental
work here that | think will soon be
adopted in the entire army

Whiteman, of Council, are in charge
of the sanitary school that trains all

June 25-Dear Mother: received

pleased to hear from ycu. This is
the first letter ! have had on this side
of the pond. The weather is hot here
in the day time and cool at night. but
we don't have the mosquitoes to bother
us like we do at home, but there are
several kinds of flies that bite unrier-
cifully hard.
We drill with our steel hats on and
today we drew our gas masks and
sometime they will probably be the
means of saving us. Our steel bats

show. The show had many 'kes,
songs, jig dancing and rafting of the
bones in it, and it seemed really like
down South. The negroes of the
South are very poor and just as happy
as they are poor. We see them in
the South with their toes sticking out
through their shoes and no sox on,
their clothes all rags and talking and
singing as they work. They sang a
song last night which was 81 Don't
Care for Work, and Work Don't Care
for Me, and I'm Just as Happy as
Bumbebee;" then joke about one ne
gro who was a truck farmer who
raised cabbage large enough to feed
the American army in France for one
year. Then after many good parts
were acted, they sang and acted Old
Black Joe, and to close they sang "My
Old Kentucky Home" There are many
kinds of colored people here-negroes
from America, Cinnamon and dark
men that we call French niggers, who
are from the Orient.

at home who would think it worth
while to write.

Liberty for Children.

A recent Italian educator has de
clared that unnecessary restriction In
a chlld's life is crime. There must
be rules. OF course, and children must
learn to obey. but much friction can
be eliminated by avoiding unnecessary
commands. There should be few rules
but these should be firmly ad
hered to. 1t is Infinitely better not to
give a command than to let child
evade 1t. The habit of teasing for a
thing will never develop If this course
is faithfully followed.
