FIRE PROTECTION week
FOR FORESTS
Cox tatioa of Forest Users
s Urged to Prevent Reppti-
tion of Last Years Loss.

/ In answer to an appeal from tn
forest service and timber land owner
of the state, Governor D. w. Davi
designated the period from May q
to 20 as Forest Fire Protection weel
in order to try and prevent a repeti
ton of the loss to the state of it:
timber resources such as happened
last season.
to The reasons for this action on tht
part of the federal and state author
tiles are quite frankly and convinc-
ingly set forth in the following let
ter District Forest Inspector Mains
has written to all persons concerned
in the use of the forests:
The summer of 1919 brought to the
national forests of this district the
most disastrous forest fire season on
record. The forest service organiza-
ton in the lntermountain region
handled over 700 distinct fires be-
tween the first of June and the last
of September. Expenditures for fire
suppression, in addition to the cost
of maintaining the regular. protec-
ton force, were nearly 100000, while
the damage to the timber, forage and
watersheds exceeded that amount. OF
all the fires occurring last season,
only Sc per cent were directly trace
able to lightning. The remainder
over 60 per cents or out Of every
10 fres-were the direct result of
kwru r..
another.
Under our timber sale, free use,
special use or other regulations gov
erning the development and utiliza-
ton of the nasional forests you now
share directly. and personally in the
benefits which these public proper
hes afford. Al forest user you
also share with us responsibility for

On this basis We appeal for your d.
rect and personal cooperation and as

COUNTY SALARIES
RAISED
Officers to Receive Increases Begin
ing January of Next Year.

The board of county commissioners
on Tuesday fixed the salaries of all
county officials, except the clerk
and prosecuting attorney, for the two
years beginning the second Monday in
January, 1921. Increases of from $50
for surveyor to 5000 for treasurer
were made, adding total of $3.50 to
the payroll. Considering the increase
in living costs, the advance in pay is
reasonable and will undoubtedly meet
the approval Of taxpayers generally.
The old and new scale is given below:
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1920-05-27

The above salaries become effective
on the second Monday Of January,
1921, and are Interchangeable for two
years thereafter.
The salary of county clerk was not
fixed at this time because the law
prohibits the changing of salaries dur
ing the incumbency of an officer. Geo.
Church, the present incumbent, holds
office until 1928. The prosecuting
attorneys salary was not fixed be-
cause the constitution requires that
salary to be fixed in July.

Emmett High School Gives to
World Another Class of
Fine Young People.
The Graduates.

Diplomas were given to class Of
28 graduates of the Emmett High
school at Liberty Theatre Friday
evening, while an audience of parents
and friends that filled the large audi
torium looked on with pride and
pleasure.
After well rendered selection by
the High School orchestra and the in
vocation by Rev. F. E. Finley, William
Sargent delivered the "Salutatory."
He likened the class to play in which
the members of the class were actors
with the world for stage. Each had
his part to perform in the drama OF
life.
Miss Ruth Hawkins gave the vale
dictory. Like the class flower, the
rose, representing friendship and
love, the members of the class had
formed friendships during their years
of school life which it was hoped
would continue forever. Both ad-
dresses were filled with lofty senti-
ments and were optimistic Of the
future, and both were delivered in a
clear and Impressive manner.
The address to the class was given
by Dean Cockerill of the law depart
ment of the state university. He
congratulated the class upon having
such an unusually large percentage of
young men- One important lesson
taught by the late war, he said, was
the Importance and value of education
The young men from the high schools
and colleges were the ones who for
the most part were advanced to posi-
tions of leadership in all branches of
the army.

between what they ought to have and
what they want. The result is Of
course sturdy. healthy youngsters. A
few American families are now fol-
lowing this system. but the most as
yet from necessity: others from indif-
ference allow the children to eat with
the family. where they usually have
what they cry for. for the sake Of
peace at the sacrifice Of manners. NOR
ais and physique.
The average housemother cannot
run two sets Of meals and serve at
the same time the needs Of the young
and the desires Of the old.
One may restrict the diet Of the
elders to conform to the food which
should be given the young for the
two meals of the day, having dinner
at noon. or let the little people have
supper by themselves earlier than the
evening dinner hour.
Children under Ave should never be
given food not suited to their age
and condition. The problem then Is
to serve meals which will be suitable
for the whole family for breakfast
and luncheon, and neither unbalanced
nor inadequate for either child or
adult.
In the feeding Of children considera-
ton must be made In the difference be-
tween u child and an adult. In COM
parison CT size the child Is doing a
great deal more work than the ndult,
but his natural appetite will take care
OF the amount Of food needed to build
the body and keep up energy. The
child's food. because he has to use
more. must be easily digested. more
wholesome and be better balanced. or
trouble will follow.
Children should have fats. such as
cream. butter and olive oil, all easily
digested. Plenty Of fat. two ounces
OF butter to a pound Of bread Is con-
sidered normal amount-a great fac.
tor In growth.
When the child refuses to eat stop
feeding or give liquid diet. and consult
q physician.
The child, fortunately, who has not
been pampered. does not need a vari.
ETY. Of food to stimulate the appetite,
neither sauces nor condiments; "hun-
ger is the best sauce"
