The eighth grade boys have a slight
grievance against the girls of the grade
1t appears that that the manua
training instructor is frequently treat
ed to deIicasies concocted in the Sth
grade domestic science class and it
is the desire of the boys that such re
freshments be either distributed i'm
partially among them, or excluded al
together. They would, of course, pre-
fer the former.
Beginning with the new year the ,
high school is making a special effort I
to overcome the habit of tardiness
among the pupils. We are stating no
new or startling fact when we say
that being tardy is habit and that
nine tenths of the cases are prevent
able Pride in the school and interest
in the work should in themselves be
sufficient incentive to punetuality
and they are in a majority OF the cas-
as. but for the habitual tardy students
other incentives are necessary. There

PROTECT YOUR WATER
RIGHTS

Your water right is your most val
uable financial possession If you are
an Idaho farmer. The most crucial
period in the life Of any irrigation
project is the transition period when
the system is being transferred to the
water users for operation and main
tenance. The Farmers Protective
League is organized for the protection
of water rights under the Idaho Irriga
ton project. This project must at
some time, either now or later be
turned over to the settlers. The Idaho
Irrigation company is in this work for
the sanse reason as you are-to make
money out Of it. The company is well
organized and in position to take ad-
vantage Of every turn Of the law that
viii be to their advantage. Don't cuss
the company for this 1t is within its
legal rights You have the same laws
to protect you. You can only secure
the full benefit Of these laws by or
eanizing as compactly as the company
is organized It is evident that the Ir-
rigation company hopes 10 gain some
thing by working through the Big
Wood River Canal and Reservoir COM
pany, which seems to be but a sort q
subsidiary Of the Irrigation company
In this issue you win find a letter from
the officers of the Farmers Protectiv,
League and also a portion Of the com
pIaint filed by it's attorneys against
this subsidiary organization4 Every
farmer on the17.qS9T is now cour7onrer
witi.-ts4etss problems. The project will
at some early date be turned over to
the settlers. Its operation win in all
probability be placed in the hands of
either the League or the Big Wood
company. The interests of all the
water users are identical. Whatever
one gains all viii gain. Whatever one
loses all will lose. The Big Wood com
pany is evidently organized and con
trolled by the Irrigation company
whose interests are based on selling
as many acres OF water rights as poss-
ible. The League is organized and con
trolled by water users alone whose in :
terests are. centered in holding the
acreage of water rights down to the
lowest possible amount in the limits
Of the supply Even then the supply
win not be up to full necessities of the
users. JOIN THE LEAGUE AND
PROTECT YOUR WATER RIGHT

as complete an organization of water
users. or reduce the value Of your
rights. DO IT NOW.

SHOSHONE AGAIN DEFEATS
HAGERMAN

Shoshone high school met and de
feated Hagerman on their own floor
last Friday evening by a score Of 1s
to 10.
The game started out fast and flni-
ous with Shoshone piling up lead of
three field goals, but as the game con
tinued it was plain to be seen that
Hagerman did not intend to let any
such score pile up as occurred at Sho-
shone AS the Hagerman five, with the
assistance Of the crowded house
fought their very hardest but in no
way could they overcome the lead
made by Shoshone.
The ceiling was very low and poor
lights handicapped the Shoshone for
wards so that they could not do accu-
rate basket shooting. Roughness and
holding seemed to feature the game
throughout. Those making the trip
were Chas. Dunn, Ed. Ryan, White
mack. Probart, Wernicke and Kilpat-
rick.
Referee. Nelson, Of FIagerman.
The feature of the Saoshone- -Hager-
man game was the flying tackle made
by Haeerman's star guard.
Ed Ryan claims it would not have
been half bad II Hagerman had played
according to the rules for wresunng
Along the second half Of the game
Chick held the ball up to the basket
and called for Ed to come down ard
shove it in as he was quite tired, due
to the midnight frolic the night before.
Ed pushed that one and another one
with it right through the hoop. made
his Assembly Bow, and trotted back to
position.
Shady had his arm badly wrenchet.
due to the half Nelson and scissors
hold he let one Of the Hagerman tack
les secure on him.
Whitenack wanted to stop in Good
ing to look over the athletic club.
John is thinking of going into the
wrestling game since the Hagerman
tussle- During the forty minutes Of
wrestling no two men We're able toeven
get a fall on John.
For some reason or other Mount and

EXTRA SESSION OF STATE
LEGISLATURE CALLED TO
RATIFY SUFFRAGE
Governor Summon S S0l0ns To-
Boise February II to APP
prove u. S. Amendment.

Extra session of the Idaho legisla-
ture was on Monday called by Govern
to ratify the amendment to the e. S.
constitution granting full suffrage to
women.
The governors call stipulates that
the extra session is only for the pur-
pose of ratifying the amendment and
no other legislation may be taken up
In order that the woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution may
become effective before the presiden-
tial election next fall, it is necessary
that three -fourtns of the states ratify
the amendment Although Idaho has
long granted suffrage to women, it
no doubt is felt that Idaho should be
one Of the first thirty-six states to
ratify the amendment to the organic
law of the United States.
Governor Davis week ago was
quoted as not enthusiastic over the
extra session plan, but it is presumed
here that club women and other suffra-
gists in south Idaho brought 50 much
pressure to bear upon the Governor,
that he decided calling Of the extra
session was the only way out of the
difficulty.
The governors announcement of the
forthcoming session is herewith given:
with the proud record of having
allowed full suffrage to women for
twenty three years, almost since the
birth of the state, it seems peculiarly
fitting that Idaho should play a promi-
nent part in finally granting to woman
her rights in the shaping of national
affairs
1T does not seem fair to me that
the members who win assemble here /
for great cause to absorb their own /
expenses. If it is right that a session I
should be called, then it is right that /
the state pay the ordinary expenses. of /
the members. Under the statutes it
would be possible for the leg; ;slators 10 !
draw mileage at the rate of 20 cents |
per mile in addition to their per diesl !
allowance. I shall ask the body, how |
ever, to confine its appropriation for
expenses to the actual amount ex- I
pended by each member and 1 am GER
tain that they will gladly acquiesce.
The formal call for the session
stipulates that no legislation other
than the ratification of the sulfr ,ge
amendment may be taken ~. rhe
legislature is restricted by til consti
tuition from having any power to leg
islate on any subject other than that
specified in the proclamation
This action is taken after a most
mature deliberation. While pose-war
problems are always confusing, yet
nothing could be more confusing than
to open up the legislative deliberations
to an hundred and one things which
pressure would be brought to bear to
present to it. Idaho has a minimum
of difficulties to surmount, for which
we are all thankful and [ maintain
that the next regular session of the,
legislature will be held in time 10
meet its problems.
