Boy Knocked Down by Auto

An accident which might easily have
meant death to the little son of Mr.
and Mrs ]. w. Strang of the bench oc-
Cured Tuesday afternoon at the corn
er of Main and Washington. The lit
tie chap, three or four years old was
crossing the street few steps be-
hind his father as a big Hudson ap-
preached at right angles, and as Mr..
Strang turned about to help the lit
tie fellow, the child, frightened, lodged
in the other direction, stopping di-
rectly in front of the car. The driver
intending to apply the brake stepped
on the accelerator and the car shot
forward, striking the little boy and
rolling him under the car, the body of
which passed completely over him.
But by some miraculous good fortune
the wheels missed him, and he was
picked up, only slightly bruised and
scratched, but thoroughly frightened,
as were the spectators.

Emmett Students in Contest

Students from Miss Roseberry's
class in the Commercial department
of the High school entered the Inter
High school typewriting and short
hand contest held at Caldwell Satur-
day and gave good accounts of them
selves. In shorthand Miss Ethel Can
trail was the winner in the 40-word
contest and Miss Margaret Marler in
the 30-word contest. In typewriting,
Miss Ina Wilson was the third in the
contest for frst-year students, writing
% words per minute. The Emmett
entrants made very creditable show
ing, considering that this is the first
year commercial studies have been
taught in the schools.

Before he could fire, the Yankee, with
lightning stroke, severed the hand at
the wrist. He then gathered up the
belt and revolver as souvenirs. At the
hospital they were taken away from
him, but he made such roar when he
recovered that they were restored to
save international complications.
After the armistice the corporal,
with other Yankees, was billeted in
French homes near Tours for three
months, where he said, the people
were like fathers and mothers to the
boys. Four of the seven Emmett boys
in the 91st were wounded, but all
came through. The trip to st. Nazaire
and home in the U. S. transport Flor
idian, the landing in New York after
IL days on the water, the tremendous
demonstration in New York, the must
ering out at Cheyenne, and the ar
rival home Sunday evening are all
fresh in the mind of Corp Modin. He
paints heartending pictures of the
devastation in Belgium and the in
famies perpetrated on the innocent
people there by the Huns.

Earl Modin Tells Experiences

Earl Modin, recently returned from
France, is visiting in Boise. The
Statesman this morning contained the
following story of his experiences in
the Argonne:
Corp. Earl D. Modin, son of Mr.. and
Mrs Edward Modin of Emmett, one
Of the "Wild West" Yanks who had the
supreme satisfaction of giving Kaiser
Bill the solar plexus knockout in the
Argonne forest, is home, whole and
happy, in spite of several wounds and
doses of poison gas at the hands of the
Huns. Corp. Modin was in the 91st,
the unit that lost 1900 men killed and
wounded in 20 minutes, September %,
the bloodiest day of the Argonne fight.
He was a member of company L.
Bend infantry, going in from Camp
Lewis.

corporal said 81 didn't stop for the
machine gun bullets in my arm and

plete Gems Quota-Drive
Closes Saturday

With only two more days remaining
of the Victory Loan campaign, Gem
county is still $4,000 short of its
quota of s13O,O0O. At noon today,
Chairman Craig announced total sub
scriptions of approximately $115,000.
The drive ends Saturday night. Shall

The campaign during the next two
days will be strenuous one. Chair
man Craig, R. E. Rose, C. L. Gamage
and the Irritable Quartet" will go to
Ola tomorrow night and hold meet
ing in the interest of the loan. Here
in Emmett subscriptions may be made
at either bank. Pearl went over the

ent example to the other precincts of
the county. This is the last loan call.
The money is needed to bring the boys
back, to care for the disabled soldiers,
to clean the slate. 1t is the last act in
the great war drama, in which you and

Gamy Fish for Payette

Frank Knox, president of the EN-
NETT Gun Club, recently took up the
matter Of securing supply of Land
Locked salmon with Senator Nugent.
Yesterday he received a reply from
the Senator in which assurance was
given that the request would be
granted and the young fish would be
delivered at an early date. According
to G. B. Mains, this species of salmon
rank as the gamiest of all fresh water
fish, and are fighting son of guns"
They range in weight from eight
pounds to 20 pounds. Their native
habitat is in the mountain streams of
the New England states. 1t is be-
lieved they will thrive in upper waters
of the Payette river and tributary
streams. The supply to be sent here
will be used as breeders and will be
protected for season or two.

HIGH CLASS COM
EDY COMING
Audra Alden and Company in Her
Husbands Wife" Friday Night.

Owing to delay in securing the prop
er scenery, the excellent group of play
ers headed by Miss Audra Alden will
not visit Emmett until Friday night,
May 9.
No extended notice as to the quality
of this company is required, as they
are well known to the people of En-
NETT and vicinity, having appeared
here twice before to large audiences.
While it was a disappointment to
many that this company could not
play here as announced on Wednes-
day night, it is said the public will be
mors than compensated by the delay.
"Her Husbands Wife," a comedy
drama of the highest class, will be the
offering on Friday night, and rare
entertainment is promised patrons.
Miss Alden will be seen in an entirely
new role, but that she will continue to
hold her hundreds of admirers here,
goes almost without saying.
There will be no increase in prices,
just SO cents and rs cents, which
includes the war tax. Seats are now
selling, and those intending attending
are urged to make sure without de-
Law

A WELCOME HOME
EXTENDED
Returned Soldiers and Sailors Given
Royal Welcome

The "Welcome Home" given by the
citizens of Gem County to her re-
turned color defenders last Thursday
evening was a grand success, and was
an occasion to be remembered by its
participants. Early in the evening
crowds gathered on the street to wit
ness the maneuvers of the tank which
was bought here for the purpose,
loaned by the government. 1t was an
interesting demonstration, being one
of the tanks actually engaged in
fighting and bearing many shell
marks. The machine was in charge
of Sergeant Fay and demonstrated its
ability to climb steep banks at the
old log pond and to push its way
through obstacles by smashing tree
about six inches thick.
Following this, the crowd assem-
bled at Liberty theater, filling it to
its capacity and overfowing into
jam in the street. The theater had
been gaily decked with flags, bunting
and evergreens, and presented fit
tingly festive appearance. While the
crowd was arranging itself the or
chestra played several numbers, and
the curtain rose upon a tableau repre-
senting "the home coming" with
Douglass Knox, Sr., and Mrs. Knox
the aged father and
mother with open arms greeting the
returning soldier lad impersonated by
Earl Titus-a very impressive fea-
ture. The program included splendid
musical features by the orchestra, the
Alfalfa Quartet, the K. K. Klub and
the Irritable Quartet" D. H. Van
Deusen presided. The speakers were
E. K. Hayes, Joel Brown, Sergeant
Fay and Lee Miles. A reading was
given by Mrs. E. H. Barton. Mr.
Miles spoke on the War Veterans
legion, an organization of which he

Pumping Plant at Sweet

C. G. Goodwin, the well known
sheepman of Payette, who last week
purchased the Jack Young ranch near
Sweet, is planning to install a pump
ing plant on Squaw creek to irrigate
so acres of dry land on the ranch not
now under irrigation. Mr.. and Mrs.
Young have not yet decided upon
their future home. Mrs. Young will
leave in a couple of weeks for Cleve-
land, Ohio, to visit the old home. Dur
ing her absence Mr.. Young and nep-
hew, Harold Oliver, will make their
home with Herbert Spencer. Mr..
Spencer recently purchased the George
Douglass ranch near Sweet, thereby
increasing his land holdings in that
section to $50 acres.

BIDS FOR ROAD WORK
Will be Opened at Ogden May Is for
Smiths Ferry Highway.

Smiths Ferry Highway.
Forest Supervisor Mains has re-
ceived notice that bids for the con-
struction of that portion of the Star
Mccall road between Smiths Ferry
and Banks will be opened at Ogden
Utah, on May Is. The construction
work will be under the supervision of
the Office of Public Roads, U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture Plans and
specifications may be seen at the For
est Supervisors office.
Mr.. Mains has also been notified
that the work of repairing the old
state road through Bear Valley to
Stanley Basin will probably be started
soon. This will give this country a
short route into the Sawtooth Noun
tains and Custer country and will
probably result in bringing much of
the summer travel to Boise from that
section through Emmett if we get
busy and build a good road to Horse
shoe Bend.

NEWS OF OUR SOLDIER
BOYS
Interesting Letters from Our
Boys at Home Camps
and Abroad.
From FIoyd Hunter

Mr.. and Mrs. Davis Hunter of Bran
well have received the following in
teresting letter from their son who
is attending an agricultural school at
Allery, France:
April IL have been favored with
a grand opportunity, that of attend
ing the farm school which is being
conducted here in Allery. Only seven
of us were allowed to come out of nv
battery and two of them were nom
commissioned officers. We left Ull-
men, Germany, on the first of April
and went to Bad-bertridge, the divi-
sion headquarters, and found out from
there that there was a special train
leaving Cochem on the 3rd. So We
had to return to Ulmen and wait until
the 3rd. 1t was a real April FOOLS
day for US, but we didn't mind the
trip, although we were crowded very
much in a machine truck
At Ulmen it was cold and a little
snow was on the ground when we left.
Here in Allery it looks like spring,
the grass is growing and the weather
is getting warm. There are many
French canteens where refreshments
are sold, which helps out good deal
Yesterday was Sunday and in the
evening the president of the school
and some instructors talked to US.
One of them said that he had talked
to many audiences, but he had never
talked to so large crowd of young
man who had come together to talk
farming.
On our way here we passed by many
barbed wire entanglements,
iugouts and all kinds of shell holes,
which were filled with water. The
ground in much of this old battle
fed seems to be very wet We went
by the city of Verdun and st. Mihiel
also many others which had been shot
Up. 1t will take many years before
much of this torn-up country will be
much good We see German prisoners
1t work filling up trenches, piling up
,arbed wire and clearing the ground
10 that it can be plowed.
The colonel that spoke to US last
light said that while we were waiting
,ur turn to go home we could put in
ur time at the farm school.
l have signed up for three months.
After that I don't know whether
hall go back to the 18th F. A. or go
lome. The 4th division is going to
axe the place of the 42nd and they
re going home.

Too Much Kerosene

AS you know, the Alfalfa Quartet
went to Long Valley towns last week
in the interest of the Victory Loan,
and as usual covered themselves with
glory. At Cascade alone, they were
encored 16 times, so a feller told US,
and as result their throats were just
about worn out when they arrived at
Mccall. Charlie Gamage's throat
remedy is a spoonful of kerosene A
pint or more was furnished by Land
lord Lang of the hotel. 1t was taken
to Gamage's rooms and he took
spoonful. Then he notified Bill Tuck
er and advised him to take some, but
neglected to state how much Bill
had a bad throat and he drank the
whole pint. Then he insisted on light
ing his pipe and there was some
thing doing. The fire department was
called out and with tears in their
eyes, Bill was beseeched by the whole
populace not to do so, and he finally
consented after Lafe Cantrall had
run lamp wick down Bills throat
and demonstrated that he had en-
ough kerosene oil in his stomach to
make light enough for searchlight.
But it fixed his throat all right, all
right, and it is said Bill never sang
sweeter in his life, but--he had an
awful breath on him and dozen men
stood near him with fire extinguishers
in their hands ready for any emerg
ency.

A GAS SERVICE
STATION
Emmett Ice Co. to Install Two Tanks
Near Ice House

The Emmett Ice Company have de-
cided to add to their business a gas
oline supply station in Emmett. Two
tanks with capacity of 1000 gallons
each will be erected at once on ground
just back of the company's ice house,
and the business will be handled by
Manager A. P. Peterson.
This station will also be a supply
point for neighboring towns in the up
per country. For several years the
gasoline supply has been hauled by
trucks from Ontario.
