DIR. SLAUGHTER DOES CITY
GOOD TURN VERY QUICKLY

When it comes to selecting the list
of enterprising citizens Of Bogalusa
the name of DR.. J. H. Slaughter will
be at the head of the list. An exam
pie of his progressive spirit was per-
haps never better demonstrated than
on last Wednesday afternoon. The
doctor was told of the Importance of
seeing that the tourists from Chica-
go, who were to arrive Thursday
afternoon, would have a nice visit
here. He could not go to Hatties-
burg to meet them. After they de-
parted DR.. Slaughter suddenly real
lied that the Dixie Highway was not
marked through Bogalusa.
Instead of reporting the matter to
the Chamber of Commerce or the
Great Southern Lumber Company,

BOND DRIVE FOR IRISH REPUBLIC
 UNDER WAY
Appeal to Connections Will Not Be Made Until
 Spring.
Especial to the Times.)

Washington, Sept. 30-Plans were perfected for the sale of the s20,00O,- 900 issue of bonds of the Irish Re pIrblic, which the American Asso- citation for the. Recognition of the Irish Republic pledged at it's recent conference in Chicago. J. c. Walsh former overseas war correspondent of Am erica" will be the active head of the drive. MT. Wal1h has established temporary headquarters in Chicago, but will shortly remove to this city. A unique plan has been adopted for the drive in that instead of a nation wide appeal being made at the same time, the campaign will be inaugurat- ed separately in each state. The Dis t-ict of Columbia and Illinois were chosen as the first territories in which the campaign will be set in motion. Connecticut will be among the last of the states to which the appeal will be issued, and the campaign there will probably not begin until April or May.

Inyents Another Machine

ANTHONY Peterson is an inventive
genius When he needs a machine to
do certain kind of work he makes it.
For years hay derrick he brought
out has been considered the best in
the country and is generally adopted
as a model in this valley. When he
engaged in the ice business be con-
structed an electrically driven circular
saw for cutting ice from the ponds.
Now he has added another machine to
save labor in putting up ice. 1t is
similar in principle to his ice cutting
machine, except that instead of one
cutter, it has many. The object of
this new machine is to plane off each
layer of ice as it is put in the ice
house, making each layer perfectly
level. The knives are electrically
driven. The contrivance is being
made by Berry & Campbell under Mr..
Peterson's instructions.

Machinery for Drilling

The Nampa Free Press of the 18th
says: as. Silen of the Idaho Oil &
Gas, company, returned yesterday
from McKeesport, Pa, where he pur-
chased and loaded out two cars of
tools and casing that were shipped
January %. Streamers were placed
on each car showing the supplies were
for the Idaho Oil & Gas company.
AS soon as the materials are on the
ground the company will begin work
drilling their first well about five
miles from Horseshoe Bend. The
company has had coal miners at work
for some time and is reported to have
plenty of Idaho coal on the dump to
fire their boilers. Mr.. Silen, after ex-
planning the oil showings here to ex-
perts at McKeesport, they showed
much interest and expressed the opin-
ion that the indications well deserved
by deep drilling"

EMMETT MEN SLATED
FOR JOBS
Joel Brown Being FavorabIy
Mentioned for Position as
Prohibition Officer.

Two Emmett men are being mem
toned as probable appointees under
the new state and national adminis-
trations. One of them, Joel Brown,
is a candidate for prohibition officer
of Idaho, and indications are he will
receive the appointment, as he will
have the endorsement of not only
Gem county Republicans, but also Of
the chairman and members of the
state central committee.
Mr.. Brown has also been mention
ed as a successor to Frank J. Clay
ton on the state industrial accident
board, but he has not given this ap-
pointment much consideration.
Mr.. Browns ability and fearless
ness and his conscientious stand on
the liquor question makes him de-
sirable candidate for the position.
Then, too, his generalship as chair
man of the Republican forces of Gem
county in the last campaign and coun-
sellor in state political affairs are
recognized by political leaders Of his
party. But above all he is a clean,
upright, broad minded, progressive
citizen and man who can be trusted
to do his full duty in official life as
he has done it in private life. While
neither intolerant or bigoted, he
is answering in his belief that laws
are made to be enforced and has the
courage to enfore them. The Index
is for him.

The Index received in the mail Sat-
urday q New Years present from F.
]. Edwards of Pasadena, Calf, a
former Emmett resident, which, while
novel, is disappointing in that in
stead Of making the New Year bright,
only recalled to memory the good old
days when the governor Of North
Carolina made his famous remark
to the governor of South Carolina.
The package, consisting of case of
"California's Best" containing half a
dozen tiny bottles nicely labeled
"Port," Sherry" "Claret," etc
The bottles were like all the rest Of
US "dry." But even if they were full,
their total contents wouldn't have
been sufficient to moisten the parch-
ed tongue of gnat in the Arizona
desert. And if we were to wind up
this article by saying that I'VE ac-
cept the gift in the spirit in which
it was sent" it wouldn't be true be-
canse there was no spirit" either
singular or plural, SO what's poor
fellow to do, or say, or think under
the circumstances, except forget it.

HIDDEN TALENT
TO LIGHT
Henry Ludwig, Emmett Resident, A
Genius With Knife and Pencil

Life is a curious adventure. Ge-
MUS is modest and is often found in
out-of-the-way places, while Medioc-
rity frequently sits among the nigh
ty. This is illustrated in the case of
Henry Ludwig, resident of the En-
nett country. He is a genius with
the knife and pencil. With an ordi-
nary pocket knife he fashions out Of
wood tiny, delicate limitations Of
tools, as perfect as to form and fin
ish and working qualities as any that
comes from the expert toolmaker's
shop. And with common carpen-
ter's pencil he draws pictures remark
able for the faithful delineation of
their subjects. His perspective is ex-
cellent and his artistic conception is
especially in view Of the
fact that he has had no training along
these lines.
Two specimens of his talent have
been presented to The Index. One
consists of pair of tiny pliers cut
from one piece of yellow pine, COM
plete even to the delicately modelled
link of wood, as fine as a small wire,
which hangs on one of the handles
The other specimen is pencil draw
ing of farm winter scene, showing
the old farm house, barn, broken fene
es, the gnarled trunks of trees and
small stream flowing by-all wonder
fully true to life.

ODD FELLOWS cELE-
BRATE BIRTHDAY
Thirty-sixth Anniversary Occa-
sion for Large Gathering of
Members and Rebekahs.

The 36th anniversary Of the insti-
tuition of Emmetsville Lodge No. IL,
/. O. o. F. was celebrated last Thurs
day evening in highly pleasing man.
ner in joint meeting of Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs. The lodge hall was
filled to its capacity, and the remi-
niscences retold of the struggles of
the lodge in the early days and the
felicitations over the growth in mem
bership and finances were happy.
The installation of the officers-elect
of both societies, the annual roll call
musical numbers and delicious ban
quet were features Of the celebration,
and made the event one of pleasure.
The installation ceremonies Of the
Odd Fellows were presided over by
James Kinzer, with Ed Reed as mar
shal. Mrs. J. s. Burdell installed the
Rebekah officers.
The newly installed Noble Grand,
C. B. Polly, then took his station and
presided with dignity and charm
while the roll call and the following
program was given.
During the roll call three of the
oldest members, j. F. T. Bayse, Fin
ley Monroe and Jonathan Moulton re-
sponded Mr.. Bayse is the only sur
vivor of the nine charter members.
Mr. Moulton and Mr.: Monroe were
among the first members initiated af
the lodge was instituted. In his re-
sponse to the roll call, Mr.. Moulton
contrasted the few members. of the
early days with the membership of
today, now numbering 124, .and the
beautiful lodge room of today with
the crude affair in the upstairs of G.
A. R. hall sc years ago.
Emmettsville lodge was instituted
January II, 1885. AS stated above,
the first meeting was held in the
building now owned by the G.. A. R.
on Boise avenue. Jonathan Moulton
was then erecting the building and
it was not entirely completed when
the first meeting was held. In 1903
the lodge moved into their fine new
two story brick building at the corner
of Main and Hayes avenue. About
eight years ago q 20 foot addition
was built on and is known as Rebekah
hall The upper floor of the new
building is used as banquet room
and the upper floor of the original
building is the lodge room proper.
The lodge is practically out of debt. !
During the roll call letters of con-
graduation were received from the
following absent members: ]. c.
Allmon, now at Newberg, Ore; Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Waring at San Diego, !
Calf; Mr. and Mrs. w. j, Easton at /
Phoenix, Ariz.; B. C. Bowers, Berke-
ley, Calf; L. G. Smith, Oregon; Ed /
Stringer, Utah, and L. S. Park of
Ola. An interesting feature of the
roll call was recital of in
cidents of Mrs. Lanktree's trip to
Boston to attend the sovereign grand
lodge, to which she was delegate
from Idaho. During the evening,
pleasing musical numbers were given
by Max Guenther, a violin solo, with
Miss Clara Peterson accompanise, and
the Rebekah quartet, composed of
Mrs. R. G. Newcomer, Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Womack and C. L. Gamage.

CALIFORNIA
New Years Celebrated at Bow
ers and Richards Homes at
Berkeley and Pasadena.
(By Albert Parker)

A big football game between the
University of California and Ohio
State at PASADENA, and good old
Emmett, were the two things upper
most in the minds of IL former EN-
NETT residents gathered at the Berke-
ley home of Mr.. and Mrs. B.. c. Bow

full repast was prepared by Mrs B.
C. Bowers and daughter, Miss Mar
jorie Bowers, assisted by friend Of
Miss Marjorie's, Miss Elminda Gar
cia of Ration, N. NJ.
Between bites of delicious turkey,
dressing and cranberry sauce, the
talk always drifted to good old times
at Emmett and the big game at Pas
adena.
Dinner commenced at exactly 2:15.
After the second course all the guests
joined in singing, Lights Out" q
University Of California victory song.
Slowly the hands of the clock turned
to 2:30. The game was started. At
$40 William Burkhard, senior at
U. c., was delegated to phone for in
formation regarding the progress OF
the game. The report was most ia
vorable-7 to 0 in favor of Califor
MIA at the end of the first quarter.
After that news, the third course
turkey-just naturally melted in ones
mouth. AT $40 the meal was over.
Score, California %, Ohio State 0.
The late afternoon was spent in
playing games, discussing the victory
and relating experiences at Emmett.
Out on Golden Gate beautiful sun
set marked the closing of the first
day of the year.
Those present at the dinner were
the Misses Dorothea Parker, Mario
rie Bowers, Elminda Garcia, Messrs.
Roy Edgerton, Russell Edgerton, Fred.
William Burkhard, Alfred
Parker, Lynn Barrett, Mr.. and Mrs
S. A. Parker, Mr.. and Mrs. B. c.

,ier, California; and the Misses Anna
Field and Mary Gamage, who we're
visiting friends at Martinez.
Raymond Bowers, who is trapping
n the mountains of California, was
