specimens Of valuable ore for an ex-
hibit in the Horticultural section. Zeke
Sweet, who has stuck to the old mine
with faith and confidence that never
wavered for years and years, is here
with specimens of gold-silver-copper
ore, and is glad to tell Of the promis-
ing industry developing on Squaw
creek from these rich diggings, for
his faith has been rewarded and the
old mine is producing valuable ores.
While here yesterday, arranging the
exhibit, phone message informed him
that still richer strike had been made
and ore was being taken out that
make previous specimens look like 80
cents, and good old Zeke is as happy

ENROLMENT HITS HIGH
WATER MARK
School Attendance Largest in
History-More Teachers,
More Room Required.

The opening of school on Monday
was marked with the largest enroll
ment in it's history, bringing to mind
in a most forcible manner the urgent
and immediate need for added school
facilities-more room and more teach
ers.
Already the High school enrolment
is over 175 and within the month will
pass the 200 mark. Superintendent
Goodwin is in correspondence with
authorities in an attempt to employ
at least one more teacher in High
school. At present Mrs. Maxfield il
acting as supply. All classes are over
crowded and seating capacity is inn
possible In the grades, the First and
Fifth grades are overflowing. Miss
Ellen Waring has been employed as
temporary supply, and it is hoped
within a very short time that perman-
ent arrangements may be made to re-
lieve the congestion.
Both the school board and the tax
payers acted wisely in inauguratiiig
and endorsing the plans for new
High school bcilding. Action was not
taken too soon, and at the present rate
of growth indications are the new
building will be filled. Work has been
commenced at removing the trees from
the recently purchased site for tie
new building and it is expected that
construction work will be in prpgress
at an early date. Bids for tha IssSs
building will be opened Saturday q
this week.

Emmett Melons Arc Good.

Emmett watermelons have good
reputation abroad, even at Blackfoot.
The Republican of that place last week
contained the following: "Watermel-
ons from Emmett won't hurt anyone,
no matter how much they eat. You
don't need to be careful nor use any
scrutinimity. You will know it when
you are too full to eat any more.
There is not much difference between
chicken and watermelon till you
come to eat it. Most people eating
watermelon, throw away the rhind and
eat the entrails, but that is not good
form with . chicken"

FOR SALVATION ARMY
FRIDAY
Gem County's Quota to be Rails
ed TomOrrow-COme Pre-
pared to Give.

The Salvation Army drive will open
in Gem county tomorrow and it is
hoped and expected that the full quota
of $500 will be safely tucked away ere
Old Sol sinks to rest behind the
western hills.
The Salvation Army cause is one
that touches the heartstrings and bet
ter nature Of every soldier boy who
saw service beneath the Stars and
Stripes in France-it is a cause that
should need no coaxing to loosen the
purse strings Of every man, woman
and child. In war or in peace, where
ever suffering and want prevail; in
the slums, on the streets Of the cities,
in the humble homes of the laborer,
among the outcast and erring ones
there the Salvation Army does its
work of mercy quietly, unostentatious-
ly, devotedly. To enlarge its work, the
nation is engaged in raising fund.
That it will be well spent-for the
benefit of humanity-there is no doubt
The campaign is in charge of Joel
Brown, who will be assisted by the
Elks, the soldiers, the war mothers,
and private citizens, and two real
Salvation Army lassies from Boise.
Hunt them up early, make your sub
scription and get button, badge Of
honor everyone should be proud to
wear. Let there be no Stacker dollars
when the Salvation Army calls.
