GIRL BREAKS
NECK
Daughter of VIII Calender Is
the Victim-Complete
Recovery Expected.

Miss Ruth Calender, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Will T. Calender, form
erly of this city, is suffering from a
broken neck, as the result of fall.
Her complete recovery is expected by
the attending physician. This morn
ing's Statesman contains the follow
ing account of her unusual experience.
Failing in a faint at the high
school Tuesday morning, Miss Ruth
Calender, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. 7. Calender of Boise, struck
against schoolmate and broke her
neck. The break was peculiar in that
neither the spinal cord nor the mus
cles were injured, and after she was
taken to the rest room, the girl ap
peared for time to be all right. How
ever, she was sent home in taxicab
attended by one of the teachers.
"The accident occurred during the
first period Tuesday morning, when
Miss Calender tainted during the re-
citation of her history lesson. She
returned that afternoon, but contin-
ued to fell unwell, and when she went
to meet her mother, who was at DR..
A. L. Heine's office, she complained
to her mother of how sore her neck
was. Mrs. Calender had DR.. Heine
examine it and he Immediately real
lied that something was wrong. He
advised the girl to go to DR.. James
L. Stewart, the family physician, at
once.
CDR. Stewart had an X-ray examina-
ton made, which showed that the
sixth cervical bone was broken. Wed
nesday morning the girl was taken to
st. Alphonsus hospital to be operated
upon. At the door of the operating
room she tainted again and DR..
Stewart took advantage of this and
set the fracture without the admin
istration of an anesthetic.
"Dr. Stewart says that such acci-
dents, while not common, are by no
means unheard of and that as long
as the spinal cord is uninjured a bro
ken neck is mended much as any 9TH
er break. Miss Calender will proba-
bly, be all right is about six weeks;
at present her neck is in cast till
the bones knit. Her father is William
T. Calender, chief clerk IN the land
office, who moved here from Emmett
about two years ago.

TO WAR ON THE
POCKET GOPHERS
Campaign Against Pests to be Con-
Quoted by County Farm Bureau.

1t is hard to estimate the damage
done by the pocket gophers in Gem
county. The directors of the Canyon
canal realize these rodents are respon-
sible for most of their trouble. If to
the cost of these expensive breaks
were added the loss to the farmer due
to them it would probably reach $780,
900 to say nothing of the damage they
do to the field and crops.
The directors of the canal are heart
lily in favor of the campaign to be
carried on through the Farm Bureau
and expect to poison all of their right
of way. Many of the farmers
throughout the county who tried the
government poison formula last fall
can speak good word for its sue
cess. Zeke Sweet, Jack Young, James
Kesgard, Ed Docherty, G. A. Warden
will vouch for the success of the work
carried on under the direction of W..
E. Crouch of the Bureau of Biological
Survey.
Demonstrations will be held at the
following places over the county,
showing the mixing and placing of the
bait.
Ed Modin's, Tuesday morning, Feb.
II, at $3.50.
P. NJ. Spratt, Monday morning, Feb.
10, at 9:30.
]. I. Guthrie's, Monday afternoon,
Feb. 10, 2:3O.

noon, Feb. IL, at 2:S0.
Frank McConnell's Anderson Creek
ranch, Wednesday morning, Feb. II,
at 10.
Elmer Rose, Thursday morning,
Feb. 13, at $3.50.
Spring is the best time, as all of
the fresh mounds are easily distin-
guished from the old ones. Attend
one of these demonstrations and help
fight the pocket gopher. If the GO
piers are pest in your community
arrange with the county agent for
demonstration in your community.

Cattleman to Boise

The fourth annual convention of the
Idaho Cattle & Horse Growers Asso-
citation of which Clay Vance is presi-
dent and L. f. Dillingham; secretary,
is set for February 10 and 20 at
Boise This association is composed
largely of cattle and horses growers
of the state who run their livestock
upon the public domain and the ma
tional forests and has membership
of around twelve hundred.
Owing to the fact that very ma
terial increase in grazing fees on the
forests is likely, and also owing to
the fact that legislative matters af-
fecting the industry are up for con-
sideration, there is an indication that
the attendance at the Fourth Annual
Convention in Boise will be the larg
est one in the history of the associa-
tion.

Brave Soldier Returns

Considerable curiosity was evinced
last week by the appearance on our
streets of a Khaki clad boy wearing
a red cord about the left shoulder
His face looked very familiar to sew
eral, among them Judge A. o. Sutton,
who upon meeting the returned sol
dier discovered an old time school
friend whom he had known as
vounpster. at what was then Salubrla,
Ted Mossmann by name. Later, the
Mossmann family owned the present
ANDY Little ranch on the butte, leav-
inp here about II or Is years ago,
and "Ted" will be remembered by
many people of this vicinity. Not yet
20 wears old, he has had quite mill
tary career, wearing a Mexican SER
vice stripe, besides various stripes and
decorations acquired in the great war
for special service and bravery IN
times of appalling danger. The red
cord is a French decoration for brav-
ery. Mr.. Mossman is so extremely
reticent in speaking of his experiences
that many information seekers were
repulsed. He spent few days OF last
week visiting at the home OF his
brother, who drives the Emmett
Boise stage.

STATE ROAD TO
MCCALL
Bill introduced to Appropriate $780,
600 for Construction

A state highway from Star to Nc
Call is provided in house bill No. 12O,
introduced Monday. An appropriation
of 100000 is provided, and the road
must be completed by December l,
1920. The bill is in part:
"The first portion of said highway
to be constructed shall be that be-
tween the eastern boundary of Gem
county about four miles west from
Horseshoe Bend, Boise county, and
Smiths Ferry, Valley county, via
Gardena and Banks. The second por-
ton shall be that between
Smiths Ferry and Round Valley, by
way of Round Valley creek. The re-
naming portion of said highway shall
be constructed where, in the opinion of
the official or officials in charge, shall
be most needed"
This road is of especial interest to
Emmett, as it will open road of
easy grade to Payette Lakes. The
proposed road is to follow the river
to Smiths Ferry, thence conforming
closely to the present road north. The
expense of construction will be borne
by the state, the counties through
which the road passes and the forest
service The bill was favorably re-
ported yesterday.

WOOL GROWERS an
NUAL MEETING
Adopt Five Year Leasing Plan
and Elect Set of
Officers

The annual meetings of the En-
NETT Payette and Idaho Weiser Wool
Growers Associations were in session
Tuesday and Wednesday in Emmett.
The meetings were held in CONNER
cial Club rooms and were well attend
ed Forest officials present were As
sistant Forester H. E. Fem of the
Ogden office, Walter Mann, supervisor
of the Idaho Forest and G. B. Mains,
supervisor of the Payette Forest.
Both associations rearranged the
grazing allotments so as to adopt the
five-year leasing plan, which succeeds
the one-year lease plan heretofore in
vogue. 1t is confidently believed this
new plan will settle former grazing
troubles.
A resolution was adopted asking for
general inspection of all sheep having
grazing privileges in the Payette for
est, and also of such flocks of sheep
as may be allowed to trail across said
forest or any part thereof. The fiocks
in the Payette forest have been re-
markably free from scabies and this
action is requested to be taken in
order to keep them so.
Grazing leases were rearranged
with the lumber companies for next
season.
Officers were elected as follows:
Payette Forest-John VanDeusen,
president; Andy Little, secretary; Col
lin McCloud of Caldwell, Walter Lit
tie and Elliott Tennyson, members of
the advisory board.
Idaho Forest. E. Clinton, presi-
dent; Arthur Van Sicklin, secretary;
J. E, Clinton, j. E. YanDeusen, An
drew Little and Mac Henry Hand, adj
visory board.
Those present from neighboring
towns were: j. E. Clinton, S. Silen,
John Hunt and Harry Shellworth of
Boise; Victor Richardson, Gerald
Stansfield, Mac Henry Hand and A.
Harrison of Weiser; w. H. Cess and
Charles Gray of Nampa.

GROWING OF BROOM
CORN
Many Inquiries Answered as to
Method of Planting and
Care of Crop

Two weeks ago The Index printed
an article urging the planting of
broom corn, especially by dry land
farmers. So many inquiries from not
only Gem county, but also from neigh
bering counties, as to the planting and
care of crop, have come to The Index
and G. W. Driscoll, who operates the
broom factory here, that it is impos-
sible to personally answer each one.
The following facts are therefore Civ
en- below for the benefit of those who
are planning to grow broom corn the
coming season:
Seed may be obtained from G. w.
Driscoll, Emmett, at Is cents per
pound, f. o. b. Emmett.
Seed should be planted 8 to II
inches apart with corn planter in rows
not less than three feet apart. On
dry land, pounds to acre. On irri-
gated land, should be planted thicker
to prevent brush growing rank, to
6 pounds per acre.
When cut, cane should be cured at
once, after laying one day in shade.
The seed is easily extracted and is
as good fattening feed for stock as
any grain.
Price will range this year from 5000
a ton up.
Broom corn is a very hardy crop,
will grow in any soil, and is especially
adapted to dry land Should be culti-
waited like corn. The average yield is
half ton to the acre.

NEWS OF OUR SOLDIER
BOYS
Interesting Letters from Our
Boys at Home Camps
and Abroad.
From The Boy"

Jan. 15.-Just a few lines tonight.
After all our plans for return to the
u. S. with the 41st division have
failed and most of US will have to stay
in France for several weeks to come.
We were transferred to the 41st di-
vision, as | stated in my last letter,
and on January 9Th left for Theise
to join our company, the 164th Ambu-
lance Co. When we arrived there we
learned that we were to leave for
Brest on the 9th, but after we had
drawn all our equipment and were
ready to go, we received orders to
hold up the movement for few
days owing to storm at sea, the
transports being unable to land on
that account, so it was the storm at
sea that spoiled our trip home.
Since we reached France last win
ter many of the men of the old 41st
division have been promoted to cor
porals and sergeants, and when the
division was assembled it was found
that there were about 500 non-com-
missioned officers too many-that
many more than were allowed In a
division, according to the table of or
CARNATIONS. AS soon as this was
discovered at general headquarters,
an order arrived ordering the 41st
division to get rid of all surplus nom
CONS over the table of organization.
The non-coms held a meeting and
sent in a request to be "busted to
buck privates" in order that they
might go home with the 41st, but
general Headquarters refused to "bust"
US and a few days later an order
came transferring us out of the divi-
sion and yesterday we were trans
ferred to our original organization
and today l arrived at the hospital
and tomorrow morning will go back
to my old job. So over 500 boys, who
were original members of the 4lst
division are kept in France and men
who never heard of the 41st division
before are going back in our places.
Such are the fortunes of war. We
will be in France, probably, for many
moons to come.
Howard Gaylord, Lawrence Burt
and Floy Clark are the only boys from
the camp hospital who are fortunate
enough to stay with the 41st, and
they will probably be in the states
before this letter reaches you. | un-
derstand that most of the other En-
NETT boys who belonged to the old
Co. M are also coming home. The
rest will remain.

ple), situated in the Rhine province
among the foothills. We are nicely
located, using a high school building
for hospital and convent for sleep
ing quarters for the men. 1t seems
very strange to have steam heat, cleo
tric lights and a regular bed to sleep
in again. We also have made arrange
ments for non-com. mess, having a
German woman to cook for US, and
she certainly can make any grub
taste lot better than our cooks can.
We had great trip coming to this
place, 10 days on the train in box
cars, but it was a very interesting
trip. We passed through Verdun and
the iron fields around Metz, and up
the Moselle river to Coblenz, which
is some big city. We also passed
through Freres, another large Ger
man town. Saw the Rhine at Cob
lenz-and who would have thought
that American troops would be at the
Rhine three months ago
The people seem very friendly and
glad that the war is over. One could
never tell that there had been FIVE
year war by seeing this country, as
the people have everything they need,
although maybe little short on
meats and grease.
A mark is worth about Ia cents IN
American money and the boys are all
buying out the towns along the way,
as things are really very cheap here.
| wouldn't be surprised if we stayed
here at this town until spring, al
though of course l do not know.
Would like. to move to larger city
if possible, as the big towns seem
yery modern.
