RED CROSS ROLL
CALL
Campaign for Membership Starts
November 2.

The third Red Cross roll call cam
paign vii start on Nov. and close OF
Nov. IL, "Armistice Day" This i!
merely a membership and magazine
campaign and is not a war fund cam
paign. 1t is hoped that every mem
Der will renew and that many viii
avail themselves of the opportunity
to procure the magazine at its ori-
pinal price Of 81, the chapter to receive
25 per cent of this amount.
No doubt some will wonder why
they should keep up their Red Cros,
membership. The answer may best
be given by the recital Of the follow.
ing incident that happened close to
home:
Ray Brydon was sick and also broke
Ia bad combination. He didn't think
much of Boise, Iiaho, naturally In
dianapolis looked awfully good to him
as visioned 1000 miles away and he
wished he was home in Indiana.
One morning Ray was thinking and
wishing. By evening the sun was
shining brighter than he had ever seen
it before. He was going home.
Though still faithful to the old Hoos-
ier state he liked B,;se hsap better,
for it was te good old Red Cross that
stepped in at the psyc',cioGicGl mo
ment and Strengthened things out.
With a ticket clear through to In
dianapolis and SIS for extra expense
money in his pocket, Ray departed at
midnight for the east He was so
tickled that he couldl'7 resist going
to the newspaper office and telling
of his good fortune.
"I don't like the west very much, but
you've got to hand it to the Red
Cross as represented by Boise peo-
ple," he said. 81 was an announcer
for one of the Bernardo carnival shows
at the state fair and was taken sick.
| had been out of the service for only
short time and wasn't feeling just
right. l was laid up at hotel and
when l was well enough to get out
was just about broke. Felt down and
out and didn't know what to do when,
this afternoon, man representing
the Red Cross home service played
Santa Claus. They bought me tic
ket home, paid several title bills and
pave me SIS for spending money, near
ly 800 in all. Say, boy, but I'm strong
for that bunch"
Ray says that he was in the trans
port service during the war and that
he was on the Carpathia when she
was torpedoed. He declares he al
ways did have a warm spot in his
heart for the Red Cross, but this last
boost was just like money from
home.'

Deer Are Plentiful.

Many Emmett hunters are in the
mountains after big game and prac-
ticaly every one who returns brings a
deer. A party Of Sweet people conf
posed of Owen Dix, Will Talley,
George Boynton, Emmett Ireton and
c. c. Montgomery have just returned
from hunt on Clear creek near Low
man. They brought back three bucks,
one of them an unusually big one,
weighing when dressed 235 pounds.
He was killed by Will Talley and four
ehots were required to bring him down.
One of the deer was shot while the
hunter was on his back after sliding
down hill and was a fine specimen of
craftsmanship. Ralph Carpenter, Al
Hetherington and DR.. Prestel came in
last week, each with deer apiece DR..
Prestel brought in 160-pound buck,
and Al Hetherington 190-pounder.

A Wonderful Apple Displax,

Seven varieties of wonderful apples
grown by Charlie Kester on his bench
ranch are on exhibition in Billy Will
toms office, and it will pay any one
to take look at them. Besides beicg
a most successful farmer, Mr.. Kester
is also successful fruit grower and
gets splendid results, and never fails
to raise crop. In addition to apples,
he this year raised peaches that were
fine specimens in size, color and flavor
and the equal of any produced in the
famous peach belt on the Slopes.

Park Bonds Good Investment

town that would attract the home
seeker and the home lover must pro-
vide those things which make life more
worth living or it will lag behind and
/ soon be forgotten.
The expense will be light from a
taxpaying standpoint The bonds will
be what is known as 10-20s, That is,
they may be paid off in 10 years or
run 20 years, at the option of the city.
Figuring that the bonds W i'll bear 6
per cent interest, the annual interest
charge will be $1,000. The real prop
erty valuation this year is $649, ,594;
personal last year (this years per-
sonal is not made up) was S141,376;
the corporation property { railroads,
telephone lines, power lines, etc. val
uation is 1881, q total of $83O,801.
A levy of 20 cents per $1,000 will raise
$500, $3.50 more than enough to pay
the interest In other words, the tax
payer having valuation of $1,000 will
have his taxes increased less than 20
cents year. In 20 years he would
pay a total of $500. Isn't it worth
the money? Are not the benefits to
be derived dirt cheap Can anyone
afford to do without a park for 10
times that amount Isn't it worth
several hundred times that amount
to the city as whole?
Mr.. Taxpayer, ponder these things
carefully and go to the polls and cast
your vote for the park bonds, and per-
suade your friends and neighbors to
60 likewise. 1t win add to the value
of your property many fold; it will
make Emmett a better place in which
to live and bring up a family: it will
attract the homeseeker who seeks a
progressive city in which 70 cast his
lot
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1919-10-23

An election will be held Saturday
in the city to vote upon the issuance
of $4,000 in bonds for the purchase
and improvement Of park site. Tht
polling place is City Hall, and the
polls will be open from 9 o'clock a. m
to o'clock p. m.
Only qualified electors who are tax
payers are entitled to vote. By tax
payer is meant anyone who pays any
sort of tax-reai, personal, corpora
ton, poll, dog tax.
The need of a public park, adequate
for future requirements by the growth
of the city, has long been evident. This
has been emphasized since the loca-
ton of the lumber manufacturing
plants here with their several hund-
red employees, who, with other resi-
dents inside and outside the city, crave
and demand place Of recreation in
the open, place where children may
play in safety, place where swim
ming pool is located, an athletic field
for baseball and football games-in
short, playhouse for old and young
hemmed in by no walls or roof, with
ample room, shade trees and green
grass. With such place, the city is
made attractive to not only those who
live here, but also to those who are
seeking homes. The city that would
keep pace with it's neighbors must
have its people contented and happy
and maintain its place in the process
sion.
The park should be large enough
for not only those things enumerated
above, but also for fair grounds, chau-
tauqua, celebrations, public gatherings
of all kinds, and tourist park, where
the automobile traveller may camp and
rest. The old days when anything
was good enough have passed, and the
