SCANDAL AT NAMPA
H. c. EastabroOk and Mrs. Mullins
Prominent Citizens, Leave FOR
Other Parts.

State and federal officials in a
score of states have been notified by
wire to apprehend and return.to the
United States marshal at Boise, H. C,
Eastabrook, Nampa garage man, VINO
is believed toJbe speeding towards the
Mexican border in company with Mrs.
C. W. Mullins, wife of a prominent
Nampa attorney, and Mildred, the
eight-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mullins, says the leader Herald.
B Eastabrook left Nampa Friday ev-
ening, taking with him, it is alleged,
Mrs. Mullins and her young daugh-
ter. He wrote to his wife in Nampa
and Mrs. Mullins wrote to her hus-
band from Caldwell Friday evening.
The letters were received in Nampa
Saturday morning and were the first
confirmation of a rumor that the cou-
pie had fled. Federal, state and coun-
ty law enforcement agents at once set
in motion a wide search for the couple.
Hundreds of kilograms have been sent
to all parts of the country
News of the sudden departure of
Eastabrook and Mrs Mullins spread
over the city Saturday afternoon and
caused great CONSERVATION, as the
principals in the elopement have occu-
pied high position of respect and es-
TEEN in the city. Eastabrook for sew
eral years has been prominent in 10
cal business circles as one of the pro-
prietors of the Cranston & Easta-
brook Garage He is married and has
a wife and son living here. Mrs Null
Inns is the wife of c. W. Mullins, who
has been one of the leading attorneys
of the city until he recently gave up
his practice here preparatory to re-
moving to Los Angeles to enter le-
gal firm. She is the mother of two
children, boy and girl She took
the girl with her and left the son at
home.
Earl Cranston Of Boise, business
partner of Eastabrook's, has taken
an active part in directing the search
for the missing couple. He has filed
a complaint against Eastabrook in
Judge Harger's court at Caldwell
charging embezzlement.

BOTTLES CAN'T
HARM IT
Automatic Pitcher is Latest Arrival
in Realm of Baseball.

Right in the midst of the busiest
home run season baseball has ever
known B.sF. Blair, an inventor from
the Indianapolis bush, steps forward
with an automatic baseball pitching
machine that~is calculated to make the
average major league mound artist
look like common back lot soft ball
HEAVIER.
Without demanding any sympathy
from the fans or asking any favors
from the umpire, the contraption can
be set up on any field at moments
notice and deliver the goods. 1t can
retire batsmen faster than they can
fall into line and take a swing at the
ball. 1t can shoot 'em across the pan,
cut the corners or avoid the plate
completely in a series of amazing,
perplexing curves.
1t doesn't matter what the wind or
the weather, how many runners are
on the paths or what the scoreboard
registers in the visitors column.
With the proper attention to its in
side works and an occasional drop of
oil on the firing barrel, it can travel
through inning after inning and game
after game without the aid of human
hand. 1t is absolutely oblivious to
the sarcastic comments of the stands
or the scathing remarks of the oppos-
ing team. 1t is adequately armoured
to withstand an unprecedented pop
bottle attack, and it will survive any
mere word debate without loss of
prestige.
1t was during preliminary tryout
at the New York Polo grounds, that
the late star of the traffic court, the
great Bambino himself, was introduc-
ed to the startling contrivance.
1t was a severe test for any ma
chine and probably an awful moment
for the inventor. This great slugger
stood there grinning menacingly,
ready to knock the ball out of the lot.
He even rubbed his hands in the dirt
to show what he thought of automatic
pitchers in general.
To avoid an unpleasant anti-climax
we might as well 60 on and admit
that eventually the Babe did get a
single. 1t wasn't much of single,
either. There we're other offerings
of the automatom with no stretch of
the Imagination could convert into
regular hit.
The experts consider it great tri-
umph for the automatic pitcher.
They shook hands with the inventor,
slapped him on the back and told him
he was some boy Mr.. Blair smiled
broadly and confessed that he was
glad to be alive. He knew that he had
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1921-07-14

placed his curves on the chart accord
ing to the proper mathematics and
that the technical details were ar
ranged as they should be. But yor
can never tell about machinery until
it actually starts to grind out the fin.
ished product.
Positively it surpassed the invent
or's most optimistic dreams. Yet
Mr.. Blair still clings to the notion
that his apparatus should be restrict
ed in its activities t. batting practice
He has no wish to see the human
equation removed from the daily
struggles on the diamonds. He still
likes to pick up his morning paper
and read that Carl Mays 'blew in the
ninth" that Rube Marquard passed
four men in Cincinnati; that Faber
went fourteen innings without yield
ing hit and then got himself Jenched
for indulging in impromptu ofatory
with the umpire.
The public may or may not respond
with enthusiasm to the Interpolation
of player who is deaf to catcalls
and casual bantering. To some men
half the joy of the game is wrapped
up in the joyous moment when they
feel called upon to stand up osten-
tationsly and tell the bum in the box
how useful he would be to the team
if he would retire to the bench.
"Take him out" they yell, and take
a positive pleasure in watching the
victim squirm.
Automatic fielders and batters are
hardly within the range of immediate
installment. Too many men would
be tossed on the streets jobless to
consider the matter seriously, and
there is some doubt as to how the
fans would take any radical steps
toward removing all the local color
and atmosphere from their favorite
pastime.

will trust no one but the United States
government.
To reach this field of potential de.
positors Mr., Hays plans the following
basic changes in the present postal
system
l. Increase the interest from 2 tc
3 per cent.
2. Payment of interest on depos
its held less than one year.
8. Removal of the restrictions
against depositors under 10 years Of
age.
.. Provision for joint and trust
funds.
5. Establishment of postal savings
banks in $4,000 postoffites instead
of the present $500.
6. Compensation for fourth class
postmasters on the basis of the de-
posts they handle.
n. ReGeposit of the funds in local
banks with more liberal qualification
rules FOR such repositories.
Z The postmaster general declared
the hunreds of thousands OF postal
savings depositors virtually were be-
ing defrauded because Their certif-
Gates specifically stated that per
cent interest was paid on deposits
and did not state that nothing was
paid on deposits held less than che
year. Because of this system he said
the average interest paid on all money
held was only " per cenr.
There is lot of business in this
country that is really sick, still stag
gering under the shellshcek of war
and the debauch of extravaganza" he
said, "but there is good deal
more that is merely malingerirg.
What we need more than anything
else is the common sense Of courage
and confidence. There is, of course,
the greatest era of expansion and
ahead that the world has
ever seen. Everyone knows this. and
the only question discussed is when it,
will start. Well, it is time to 60 out
and meet it. This we promise to help
to do"

PARASITES TO FIGHT
WEENLS
Little Bug Which Grows in Co.
coon Produces Worms That :
Destroy Alfalfa Pest.

Alfalfa weevil larvae and pupa,
which will later hatch into weevil par
asites are to be sent to officials OF
the Canyon counay farm bureau by
Claude Wakeland from Blackfoot
field entomologist in charge Of the al
falfa weevil control for Idaho. The
parasite will attack the larvae OF
worm stage of the alfalfa weevil and
there kill the worms, according to q
letter received by w. T. Mccall, coun-
ty agent at Caldwell. These para
sites will be used to hold in check the
further increase of the weevil. They
are scientifically known as Bathy-
plectes curculionis.
Mr.. Wakeland says: 81 find upon
investigation that this parasite insect
has gradually spread until now we
find it over the entire eastern part of
the state. We are DESTROYS of having
it introduced into all of the counties
in which weevil occurs in this state.
| am, therefore, mailing you from
Blackfoot package containing alfal-
ia weevil larvae and pupae, large
number of Which have been parasitic
ed.
"You will also find amongst the
material being sent round hardshell-
ed cocoons which are the cocoons of
the parasite mentioned. From these
will emerge the small four-winged fly,
the underside of the abdomen of which
is yellowish green color. When
these flies emerge they lay eggs in
the weevil larvae. These eggs hatch
and the resulting worms destroy the
weevil. The parasite passes through
the winter in the pupal stage, emery
ing in the spring to begin its attack
on the larvae of the weevil.
"The fact that the alfalfa weevil
parasite is thriving in intermountain
territory will be most welcome news
to every hay grower in Idaho. The
alfalfa weevil has existed in Europe
for great many years but has done
but little damage because of the fact
that it has been held in check by the
parasite.
1t is impossible to say at this time,
of course, whether the parasite will
be as effective in this country as it
has been found to be in Europe. New
ertheless our hay men are entitled TO
at least hope for the time to come in
the near future when the alfalfa Wee
vii menace will be greatly minimized
by this very welcome addition to our
bug family"
The cocoon of the parasite being
forwarded by Mr.. Wakeland will be
taken to the Parma community, which
is badly infested with weev
time and there released. AS a re-
suit it is hoped by farmers that with
in few years, at the most, enough
Of the parasites will have developed
to materially check the inroads of
the weevil
