ANOTHER BUILDING IS
NEEDED
School Board Planning to Erect
Modern Structure on Ward
well Avenue

Emmett must have more school
room, and the school is planning to
submit a bonding proposition at an
early date to provide funds to erect
modern High school building in the
block now occupied by the Longfellow
building, at a cost of from $50, 900 to
100000. AT a meeting of the board
yesterday, Douglas Knox and Superin-
tendent Goodwin were appointed as a
committee to inspect the school build
ings at Boise, Nampa, Caldwell and
other neighboring towns with a view
of gathering data for the proposed
building here. Upon receipt of the re-
port of this committee an architect will
be employed to draw plans for the new
building and make an estimate of the
cost.
The school board, after making use
of every available space in the old
building, even utilizing the attic, has
reached the end of its rope, and now
the only thing to do is to provide a
new building. The board is renting a
building outside of the school build
ings in order to accommodate the over
flow.
The plans in view contemplate
building east of the Longfellow school
and facing east on Wardwell avenue
and south on Third street 1t is to be
constructed on the unit plan; that is,
so that additions may be built on as
require. 1t will have full
basement to be used for a heating
plant and gymnasium and will be two
stories above ground. The valuation
of the district permits of bond issue
Of $4,000.

DIED

The entire community sorrows with
the family of DR.. and Mrs. r. n. Cum
mings in the sudden loss of their lit
tie son Robert Edward, who died on
Tuesday. The little fellow had been
i'll with whooping cough and on Sun
day took a serious turn. DR.. Reynolds,
DIR. Drysdale of New Plymouth, who
is not only a competent physician but
also a close personal friend of the
Cummings family, and DR.. Smith of
Boise, with the best professional nurse
service obtainabe, labored ceaselessly,
but all their efforts could not alleviate
the dread condition, and at little past
noon on Tuesday, life passed out.
The blow to the family seems too
great to bear, and sorrowing friends
can assuage but little. Robert passed
his fifth birthday the 10th of March,
and all during his short life had been
a beautiful type of sturdy babyhood-
of sunny rollicking disposition, fill
ing the days with love and sunshine
for those he loved and who loved him.
A rare little spirit he seemed, whom
God sent to brighten the home for the
parents and sisters just few short
years. Two little girls remain, Mar
garet, aged IL, and Florence, aged 9,
and on Florence's birthday, this sad
ness entered the home. The sudden
removal of their only son comes as a
severe blow to the parents and cast a
gloom over all the community. A
funeral service will be held Sunday
afternoon at the home at 4 o'clock,
conducted by Dean Alwarde Chamber
laine of St. Michael's Cathedral, Boise,
and interment will be in Riverside
cemetery. Because of his childish ad-
oration for soldiers, four returned
boys in the uniform Robert loved to sa
ate, will act as pallbearers. The only |
brother of DR.. Cummings, E. B. Cum |
nings, is expected to arrive from
Springdale, Ark, Sunday morning.

WATER MASTER FOR
CITY bitches
Proposed to Employ Man to
Handle City's Irrigation
Water

A proposition to empiay a compet-
ent man to take charge of all the ir-
rigation bitches in the city is being
agitated and will be considered by the
city council at an early date.
The use of irrigation water in the
city has become source of trouble
and worry, and under the present
system of "every irrigator for himself
and the devil for them all" is very
unsatisfactory. The proposed plan in
brief is for the city to take over
all the irrigation bitches, as trustee,
and administer them in an equitable
manner through water master to be
employed by the city. The expense
would be met by small assessment
against each water user.
This system, in various forms, has
been used with good success in neigh
boring towns and has solved the vex-
atious problems that Emmett today
is afflicted with. We believe Emmett
water users will welcome some plan
that will relieve them of the vexations
and inequalities of the present hap
hazard system.

Have You Heard The News About
Liberty

Manager Allmon announces that he
is fortunate in securing for his patrons
the New York and Chicago success,
Nothing but the Truth, for The Lib
erty Theatre on Thursday, May %.
The producing company is headed by
the brilliant young actor Fred Seigel,
who has won much praise for his ex-
cellent work in such plays as at Pays
to Advertise" "Mary'sAnkle," ""A Pair
of Queens" etc. Mr.. Seigel has writ
ten Mr.. Allmon, personally stating
the Nothing but the Truth" is the
funniest comedy he has ever had the
pleasure of appearing in, and press
and public are in perfect accord in say
ing that it is comedy scream from
start to finish. The fact that this at
traction is being offered at popular

The Class Play

"Some Class" was the center of at
traction last night at the Liberty,
when the Seniors presented their play
of that significant title. The char
acters were all suitably cast, and the
four years of high school which the
play pictured were filled with typical
stunts, joys and sorrows of good old
high school days. "Some twins" in
the persons of Ruth Manley and Dean
called forth many a laugh.
Deans Characterization of the impul-
sive Miss Dude being very cleverly
feminine, while Miss Ruth only need
ed to appear as her charming self.
The part of the conscientious janitor
was especially well taken by William
Peterson, though he was unsuccess-
full in finding lost articles especially
the "Greatest Common Divisor." The
entire cast appeared natural in each
character, and it was altogether "Some
Class"

fathers or mothers pocketbook
care not If you earn the money your
self, 1t is immaterial how you stand
in the social set to which you belong,
even if you have stood well in your
studies, if you cannot control your
lpocketbook, if money and not you is
master, have no hesitation in saying
that unless you regain control you
are even now a failure.
Members of the class of 1919, |
would urge upon you that you lose no
time in determining a plan for the
use of your money. Money and time
go hand in hand. In the disposal of
your money you may recover some of
it again. You can never recover the
time spent in its disposal. 1t is 50
much of you, so much of your worth
gone. Monev spent uselessly, thrift
lessly, thoughtlessly, is that much
time out of your life dissipated. In
spending your money you may prof
itably use your time, ennoble your
character, build your community, make
the world better.
Friends, | would not have you think
that either the acquiring, spending or
saving of money is the most important
It's ISldNlOll W n man 10
known todav, is valued today, and has
power today more because of what he
gives than of what he has. 1t was
not so four years ago. The men and
women today who are most respected
are not those with generous purses,
but those with generous hearts. The
millionaire owes no one today, nor
does his influence measure large un-
less he is proportionately using his
wealth for the worlds great causes.
Members of the class of 1919: In
this new age in which you and | are
privileged to live, money and the pos
SCISSOR of it will be judged by the use
to which it is put. 1t all depends upon
who is master Let money be master
and you may be either miser, a
prodigal or a deadbeat. Let YOU, un-
der the prayerful guidance of God,
be master, looking upon money as a
trust given you by God, and you will
be strong, benevolent, generous. You
will provide well for your own; you
viii influence many; you will be a
blessing to your community and to
your country.

Installs Lighting Plant.

James Heath has installed a COM

plant on his bench farm. The plant
was installed by Hetherington & Co.
and is running as smoothly as clock.
Not only are the house and other farm
buildings adequately lighted, but
power is provided for the operation of
milking machines, pump, separator,
and other machines used on the ranch.

angles. The track is on about a 2
foot fill. The crossing is of plank
and gravel construction and was dry
and in good servicable condition. 1t
it protected by standard crossing signs
on either side of tracks about 10 feet
east of crossing. These signs are
dicernable plainy a distance of ap-
proximately 300 feet. The crossing
is also protected by fagman from
8 A. NJ. until P. M. with one hour
off for lunch. At the time of this
accident crossing watchman was eat
ing his lunch during the noon hour.
We also find that the train and
engine crew were in their proper posi-
tions and attending to their duties in
the customary manner. That every
thing that they could have done was
done to avert the accident. There
was nothing defective on engine or
cars that contributed to the accident
and that if the occupants of auto had
looked east along track as soon as
engine emerged from behind ware
house the driver of automobile could
have stopped it before reaching track.
We conclude therefore that the ac-
cident was due to the failure on the
part of the occunants of auto, parti-
cularly Mr. Parker, the driver, to
exercise ordinary and reasonable care,
by looking eastward to apprise them
selves of the approaching engine in
sufficient time to have stopped auto
before reaching track; and that no
blame attaches to the members of the
train or engine crew.

DAY
EXERCISES
Veterans of Three Wars to Take Part
in Observance

Below is given the complete pro-
gram of exercises on Decoration Day,
May 30, as prepared by joint commit
tee from the Woman's Relief Corps
and the Commercial Club.
Never before to this present gen
Grafton has the day had so much signi-
ficance. The recent close of the great
world war and the almost daily home
coming of the soldier boys who parti-
cipated in that great struggle brings
greater realization of the sacrifices
and bravery and patriotism of those
soldiers who fought on the Union side
in the days of '61 to '65, and by whom
Decoration Day was instituted. Be-
meath the sod of foreign land brave
Gem county boys sleep. In tender
memory of those, as well as of
those who wore the blue, let US con-
secrate the day and observe it sa-
credly.
Wear a Sprig of Evergreen.
In 1911 a movement was started to
adopt as an emblem sprig of ever
green as visibly expressing our mem
ory of the meaning of Memorial Day.
A bill is now before congress to give
federal sanction to the plan. Let En-
NETT people adopt the plan this year.
Wear sprig of evergreen, tied with
bow of tricolored red, white and blue
ribbon in the lapel of your coat or on
your dress on May 80.
