Cincinnati Reds, while the wife is a
booster of the Chicago White Sox.

SUPPOSE THESE THINGS
SHOULD HAPPEN
To What Lengths the Strike Pas.
sion Might Go in Gem
County.

The strike fever seems to be con-
tagious, judging from the news of
walkouts in practically every portion
of the country. Did you ever, gentle
reader, try to imagine what the con-
sequences would be if The Index were
to contain news like the following SUP
positions incidents in the life of the
Emmett country?
Berry & Sons dairy herd struck on
him today. Of the twenty-three cows
in Berry & Sons encourage, twenty
one refused to give up their milk when
driven in from the south pasture this
evening. Two heifers recently acquir-
ed by the Berrys refused to join the
walkout Members of Bovine Union
No. 124 submitted an uitimatum. They
demand free transportation from barn
to pasture and return, alfalfa hay in
stead of clover, better housing condi-
tions and no milking after Z o'clock
in the evening. Berry & Son refused
to treat with the strikers, and gov
eminent mediator is on his way to
Emmett to arbitrate the difficulty.
Not an egg was laid on c. T. More
houses farm today. Seventeen nun
dred hens laid down their tools at 8
t'clock this morning and left the works
An aged White Leghorn, which had
been sitting on an imitation nest egg
for three weeks, refused to leave her
coop, but the tie-up is complete. The
hens have no grievance against Mr..
Morehouse. They went out in SYM
pathy with the strike of the Berry &
Son dairy herd. 1t is feared the strike
will extend to other poultry ranches in
this vicinity.
Plans were laid today for a walkout
Of the 800 children in the Emmett pub
lie schools on October 13. Since the
close of the schools in June agitators
have been continually at work among
the children. The result is that every
room in both the high and grade
schools has been NMiDnzzed. The pur-
pose of the union. N given out by its
leaders, is to resist fsrther encroach-
ment upon the rights and, liberties of
the children by pGHents and teachers
and to bring about better feeling and
easier conditions. A two months
term of school will be one of the de-
mands. The privilege of attending
moving picture theatres both after
noon and evening, however, is the
major contention and constitutes the
crux of the situation. Feeling is Bit
ter and a Gordon of constables has
been thrown around each of the sew
eral school buildings to prevent them
from being burned.
Threshing, which yesterday was at
It's height in Gem county, is at a stand
still today and more than 100 thresh-
ing crews are idle The Affiliated Or
der of the Slaves of the Kitchen Range
which has membership of more than
500 in Gem county, declared lockout
last night. Practically every farm
kitchen chimney in the county is
smokeless today. The women say
they're tired of cooking for threshers
and unless their demand for a one
meal day is granted not another skill
let of fried chicken will sizzle in Gem

BOY RUN DOWN BY AN
AUTOMOBILE
Young Son of Joe Hansen Struck
by Unknown Driver
Slight Injuries

The young son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Hansen, of the butte, was run down
by an automobile on Tuesday near the
E. L. Mills home north of town, and
that he escaped with his life is little
short of a miracle.
The family were on their way to
town, and while descending the grade
at the Fred Baisch place, one of the
buggy wheels broke. Mr.. Hansen was
thrown out, but held to the lines and
stopped the frightened horses after
being dragged some distance. Mrs.
Hansen and the baby were sent on to
town in passing conveyance, leaving
Mr. Hansen and two sons to come with
the broken vehicle. The broken wheel
was fixed up, but father and sons
walked. At the junction of the roads
at the Mills place, an automobile came
up at a rapid pace without warning.
The older of the two boys, who was
walking behind the buggy jumped out
of the way, but the other was struck
by the bumper. The force of the col
lision threw him onto the radiator,
from which he rolled to the ground,
the car passing over him without
touching his body.
The boy was picked up unconscious
and he was believed to be dead. He
was rushed to doctors office, where
he revived and an examination dis
closed no serious injuries.
The name of the driver of the car
was not learned. He stopped his car
at once and rendered whatever assist
;ance he could, but appeared to be too
frightened over the result of his reck-
less driving to even talk.

RED CROSS WORK in
PEACE TIMES
Gem County Chapter to Take Up
Social Welfare Work
and Nursing.

The problem as to what direction the
Gem county Red Cross chapter activi-
ties shall take, now that the war work
has been completed, has been matter
for consideration and discussion for
several months. To advise the local
chapter and to assist it in reaching a
decision, Miss Wysor, who has been
assigned by division headquarters in
Seattle to take charge of the peace
work in Idaho, paid the chapter a visit
this week and on Tuesday evening ad-
dressed a public meeting in CONNER
cial club rooms. Besides the members
of the chapter, there were present
quite a number of business men.
Miss Wysor is a pleasing speaker
and thoroughly conversant with Red
Cross work in all its phases She told
of the various ways in which Red
Cross work may count for good in
peace times, especially along the lines
of social welfare for both soldiers and
civilians, describing the various ways
such relief may take She strongly
urged that Gem county chapter en-
ploy a county social worker and a
public nurse for the county, one of
whose duties would be to care for the
health of school children. In support
of her plea for expert medical over
sight over the children, she cited the
number of men in the draft who were
rejected for service because of defects
that could have been corrected easily
in childhood.
Miss Wysor also spoke briefly in
favor of local hospital, and this pro-
position was discussed generally by
those in the audience. A suggestion
that met with favor was that the Red
Cross chapter endow one room in the
hospital for returned service mem
No definite decision was reached in
either the social welfare or hospital
propositions, but will be considered
later.
The local chapter, it was stated, is
taking care of a number of soldiers
who require medical treatment, and
will continue to do so.

New Teacher at Bramwell.

Owing to the great stress in supply
ing proficient teachers thruout the
county, Mrs John Anderson has been
prevailed upon to help relieve the sit
uation, and has accepted a position
at Bramwell. The point had been
reached where the Bramwell school
was about to be abandoned, and they
are indeed fortunate in procuring the
services of Mrs. Anderson, who, while
making sacrifice in leaving her home
which is her first interest, is one of
the real educators.

STEEL DRUM REMOVES BARK
Labor Saving Device That Does the
Work of Many Men, and Does 1t
Rapidly and Well.

A new labor-saving device employed
by a pulp manufactures is big re-
volving drum in which a number OF
logs are placed and tumbled about I'M
til all the bark has been removed, pre-
paratory to grinding them up for pulp.
This method of handling, says Elec-
trical Experimental, does away with
the task of removing the bark with
knives. The drum is 80 feet long and
about 10 feet in diameter, and is COM
posed of angle-iron strips fastened in
side metal hoops, one edge of each
strip projecting inward and throwing
the logs about. Not only does the
drum dispense with the labor of sew
eral men, but it saves considerable
amount of wood which is wasted by re-
moving the bark in the old way. The
labor involved in handling the logs is
further reduced by using a conveyor
which brings them to the drum and
carries them away.
