PUT HER FOOT IN IT
Firemen Release Little Girl From
Frozen Milk Can.

The Arlington, Mass, fire depart
ment, which has been called out for
practically everything under the sun,
including fires, had the surprise of it's
lKe the other day when it was sum
moned to extricate a girls foot from
a frozen milk can. M. Glare Whit
taker, 4-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest G. Whitaker, discovered
a large milk can frozen in the ground.
Childlike she put her foot in the can.
Then, exercising the privilege of her
sex, she changed her mind, and de-
cided to take her foot out. She found
it wouldn't come, and began to scream.
NeighbOrs, unable to help her, called
the police.
The police, finding themselves baf-
fed, called the fire department. The
five ladies dug the can out of the
frozen ground with pickaxes, and then
cut the can away from the child's
foot.

Freezing means just as

But frozen batteries are
far easier to avoid than

No fully charged battery a

current, be sure to test with the
hydrometer to see how well your

COMPANY "A" WILL GET
RECOGNITION BY STATE
FOR GOOD WORK DONE
LETTER FROM STATE ADJUTANT
AT BOISE SAYS INSPECTION OF
LOCAL MILITIA WILL TAKE
PLACE SOON.
MONEY PROBLEM Is TROUBLING
Captain Ley Optomistic Over Pleasant
Prospects ts-Uniforms, Lockers and
Equipment VIM Come With State
Aid-First to Be Inspected.

Company "a" /. G. N. of American
Falls, now has in prospect, immediate
inspection and recognition by the
state military authorities. After haV-
ing been handicapped for several
months due to slowness in organiz-
ing in the other sections Of the state,
Captain A. NJ. Ley is in receipt OF a
letter from state headquarters say
ing that the inspection will probably
take place soon.
Regulations covering the organiza-
tion of the state militia have hereto
fore made it necessary for the entire
battalion in the state to be organlz-
ed before recognition of any unit was
possible. The recent ruling of the
military bureau of the western de-
paEtment regulating national guard
organizations, allows recognition of
certain units that have been organiz-
ed as long as company "A" of Ameri-
can Falls.
The enlistment in the local COM
pany is increasing a little every week
and Captain Ley hopes to have it at
the prescribed numbers by the time
the inspecting officer appears. The
attendance at drill is keeping up well
and will aid materially in giving the
local unit good standing before the
inspecting officers. AS soon as the
fall months arrive drills will be held
more often to make up for the loss OF
time by some of the members who are
not in the city during the summer
months.
Money Perplexing Problem.
Money is a perplexing problem fac
ing the company here and the allot-
ment allowed by the state has moi
been allowed owing to the lack OF
organization in other units. This &C
counts for the shortage in equipment
such as uniforms, lockers and rifles
of which there are now an insufficient
number. The company has been fore
ed to obtain new drill quarters in thu
Wagner hall due to the increase il
rent asked by the Auditorium theater
The members of the company anC
Captain Ley are urging enlistment
among the younger men Of the cit!
and are daily adding to the list of re
cruits. I'VE want the people of Am
erican Falls and the county to know
that we are here" said Captain lie,
this morning, "and will not stop shor

BOARD or TRADE MEETS

to be procured and committee

tion within the city limits near

equip the campsite with con-
crete ovens, tables, tent stands,

Water will be turned into the Aber-

and will remain in the canal for ten
days, according to the latest ordor of
the canal directors. The water mas
ter and engineer have been notified to
turn the water IN for a ten day period
and then withdraw it, II in their judg-
ment, there will be sufficient water
remaining to allow another ten days
flow about the 25th of July. Should
they estimate that there will be in
sufficient water for another watering
about the 25th, they have instructions
to allow the water to flow in the can
al about 10 days or until all the stor-
ed water has been used.
Present indications are that there
will be no moro normal flow in She
Snake river This means that there
will be sufficient water from storage
for one good watering and possibly
two waterings If the water Is handled
carefully by the users.
Reports early in the week, follow

ing to allow stored water to be used

LOCAL GRAIN EXPERTS
ARE QUITE OPTIMISTIC
OVER WHEAT OUTLOOK
ESTIMATES RUN FROM 40 PER
CENT YIELD OF TOTAL SOWING
TO COUNTY OUTPUT EQUALIN6
LAST YEARS.
HEADS STARTED TO FILL FAST
Roots Have Broken Through Hard
pan and Gained Seasons Moisture
Stored In Fertile Soil Below-frri-
gated Sections Suffer Hardest

Local grain dealers and experts
have become optimistic enough dur
ing the last week to predict that the
average yield in Power county this
year will be 10 bushels to the acre or
better. This belief is based largely
on the fact that the fall grain has
begun to fill remarkably since the
roots have broken through the hard
pan to the moisture below. They
point out also that the farmers here
are not suffering any more than the
other farmers in this wheat belt, and
probably not as much, because with
drawal of water from lands once ir-
rigated practically ruins the crops.
Bruce Lampson county agricultur-
I ist. says that mo country in the world
will stand as much drouth as this
! Power county valley. The soil here
for number of inches seems to be
almost a hard pan, but as soon as the
fall grain roots break through, there
is an abundance of moisture and 1t is
making the grain fill fast now, and
giving a brighter outlook to situa-
tion which was quite discouraging a
week ago"
Mr.. Lampson has made several
tests all over the county during the
week and found these conditions to
prevail, and many farmers have come
into his office telling him Of the sud
den filling of the grain since 1t has
apparently broken through the hard
pan to moisture collected in the
earth.
ArbOn Prospects Good.
A. NJ. Durkee reports that the pros
poets are good in the Arbon country
and believes that they will have a Ii
bushel crop this year. He says thai
the cold nights this week have beer
an important factor.
Geo. Morris, farmer and hog buyer
has just made a four day trip al
through the farming lands west o
American Falls, and says that "Som'
of the wheat is burned completely, bu
that much of it is filling fine"
A number of farmers were in thu
office of the Power County Farm Blu
. reau the other day and the genera
: consensus of opinion seemed to b.
that the fall grain will average i
: bushels or better. They believed tina
there was no question but that som
OF the crops were gone, but takin
the whole county over, bhelle wa'
D lots of good wheat to harvest.
Not so much hope was given TO
the spring grain unless there is som
: sudden rain. A large part of the Ro
= ! and Crystal valleys is sown to sprin
grain. The fall grain is averaging /
bushels now and is filling in goo
shape, but the spring grain will nc
. make anything unless good raj
y comes.
