Soldier to Lecture in Emmett

The people of Emmett are to have
the privilege of hearing lecture by
one who went "over the top" at the
Battle of Lens, receiving wounds that
took him from the field and invalided
him home. Being preacher of the
gospel, he endeavored to carry the
gospel message to his comrades in the
trenches. Prof Switzerland was re-
iected because of his under size until
he found regiment called the Can
adian Bantams," because of their un-
der size, with which he enlisted. This
will be delivered at Pleasure
Club hall Sunday night at 7:30. Seats

START CAMPAIGN FOR
GOOD ROADS
Commercial Club Approves Road
Plans and Urges Bond Elec-
ton be Called

The Index last week gave detailed
and comprehensive outline of the good
roads movement that has been started
by the passage of the good roads bud
get bill by the legislature and approv-
ed by Governor Davis. The passage
and approval of an act creating the
Star-McCall state highway, carrying
with it an appropriation of S75,0Oo,
and an additional appropriation OF
SIS 900 for Gem county alone, togeth-
er with other funds from the federal
government, provided this rounty puts
up an equal amount, has brought the
road proposition direltly home to Gem
county.
In order to secure this appropriation
Gem county must go on record as TO
whether it will match this sum-ool-
lar for dollar-within a very short
time, as other counties are clamorous
for larger slices of this fund than they
have been allotted. Realizing the need
of prompt action, the Commercial club
Tuesday evening, after discussion
that extended into the morning hours,
passed resolution urging the county
commissioners to call bond election
without delay, and also urging that a
definite plan for improving trunk high
ways that shall reach every section OF
the county be at once decided upon.
The meeting was largely attended,
not only by Emmett business men, but
also by representatives from Letha,
Bramwell, the bench, Montour and
Ola, and there was no dissenting voice
in the adoption of the resolutions. K.
E. Rose, of the road committee, pre-
sented the committees report In a
most comprehensive and thorough |
manner, stating that the opportunity
was now presented whereby Gem
county could embark on complete
road improvement campaign IN which
the assistance of the state and federal
governments would be given on 90
so basis-in other words, that for
every dollar expended by Gem county
for road purposes another dollar will
be added by the state and nation,
provided prompt action is taken. He
was followed by talks from H. A
Pugh of Montour, P. w. Wharton Of
Ola, E. K Hayes, c. A. West, D. h.
V. T. Craig, John McCon-
nell, County Commissioners Pomeroy
and Wilhelm, A. C. Lathrop and many ,
others; and there was not discordant
note. This fact, however, was en-
phasized: That prompt action must
be taken in order to make sure OF
federal and state appropriations.
1t is the purpose of the Commercial
Club to call meeting, when the road T
,lans are completed by the commits ?
;ioners, of representatives from each
'oad district in the county to discuss
he plans and offer suggestions as to {
he routes selected. This will be pre-
iminary to the bond election.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

If every person in this place who
ought to have safe deposit box
should try to rent one tomorrow, there
wouldn't be enough to go around.
Many people would have to wait un-
til more vaults could be built and
equipped.
And burglars and fire would con-
tinue to luxuriate on valuable, ire
placeable papers and cherished per
sonal treasures.
1t is needless to have burglar or a
fire get away with valuables
1t isn't because a safe deposit box
costs so much that so many sensible
persons take long chances with their
treasures.
No, that isn't the reason.
Nobody who needs a safe deposit
box would miss the money it costs to
rent one.
Safe deposit boxes have saved peo-
pie many times what they have cost
them
1t is because people don't realize
the risks they run or the advantage
they gain by holding the key of box
say 372, in this banks vault
That's why we still have some boxes
available
Suppose you make your will-you
should, snyway-you certainly don't
want living soul TO lay hands on it,
do you2
You don't want anybody talking
about how you have disposed of your
estate while you are walking around,
very much alive.
Where else can your will be safe ex-
,ept in a safe deposit box2
Unoccupied homes are a favorite !
mark for yeggmen, and many a trav-
.ler has returned to be filed with F.
iismay at depredations which have oc-
.urred during a prolonged absence.

Boxes may be secured in various
sizes at prices according to size
Safety deposit insurance is the
cheapest insurance you can buy. 1t
insures your insurance, and renders
absolute, impregnable protection for
your valuables. You don't need to
lose them in order to realize on your
insurance.

You are invited to call at the First

you have no immediate intention of

Present:

In speaking of Bugler Dresser's
death, Lieut.. Miles spoke in high terms

Get w. S. S.

The Yearbook 1917 issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture is exceptionally interesting and
replete with valuable information and
should be secured by every progress
sive farmer. 1t is good reading for
any progressive citizen on farm or in
city. Besides agricultural and kindred
subjects, such as dairying it treats
of public roads, road building, the cat
tie industry, and the destruction of
rats, rodents and other pests. Con-
gresham Martin has forwarded
quite number under his mailing
frank and we are sure they will be full
ly appreciated by all who take time to
give the volume the examination due
it. It is an indispensable book to the
modern farmer and is certainly worth
while. It is enc of the few products
from the Government Printing office
worth while. We are thankful for a
copy.

Rice Crop Larger
Than For Years

The amount of rice planted in
the Parish of Lafourche this
year is reported considerably lar
ger than it has been in some
years. Unless the unforeseen hap
pens the harvest should be Dig
crop for the parish. Considera-
BILE land implanted last year, as
well as considerable in cane has
been converted into rice. The
prospects for the 1920 rice crop
being larger even than this
year. if not double what it is this
year, are very promising. Many
people now are thinking of going
into rice who have not had the
cereal on their place in the last
twenty years, some longer. Appli
cations for the rental of rice land
from people from other sec
tlons OF the state for next year
are numerous at this time, and
many have already secured lea
ses. People therefore with rice
lands or lands that can easily be
adapted to rice will find no diff
Guilty whatever in finding rice te-
nants for 1920 and for a few
years thereafter.

W. S. S.

We thought our good friend,
DR.. Oscar Bowling, was joking
when he cited the State of Alaba-
ma as being dry for twenty
years, and to substantiate his as
sertion that the non use of liquor
did not create users of narcotics,
The fact is Alabama has never
been actually dry, for only this
week Government agents un-
earthed Is whiskey stills in one
county-Marion. Surely real
dry nonliquor using state would
not require that many whiskey
plants in any one county.
Possibly DR.. Swords was correct
after all; when the real facts are
known it may develop that the
discontinuance Of liquors create
other evils worse than liquor
using does.

Drainage Election
Called Oft.

On last Friday afternoon the
Commissioners of Drainage Dis
trict No. 2, located in the second
and third wards of this parish,
called a mass meeting at which
the taxpayers had their say. 1t
appears the election had been
called to levy an, additional tax
of twenty five cents the acre in
a sub drainage district that had
been S ocarved out of the district
that the major portion of the tax
payers would have been taxed
without representation" i'll that
the new subdivision was beyond
the ten arpent line from the ba-
you and the taxpayers in the
most instances lived in front of
that line. Again few sections
had been omitted from the suhdi-
vision in question. When the
truth of the situation dawned
upon the taxpayers there was a
holler, discomfort reigned su-
preme and was manifested to
such an extent th yfle commits
sioners heede s1e ruinbliAgs
and after conference the election
was called off and some other
step will be taken to raise The
needed and see that it is
spent more judiciouslv, as there
is complaint that the work has
cost too much and that more
could be secured for the money
by giving out the dreApine on
contract than the district doing
the work itself. Mr.. P. Emf

Der of the commission, attended
