SEED GRAIN is
CERTIFIED
Final inspection Given by State
Field AgronOmist-

C. B. Allison, acting field agron-
omist with the University Extension
Division and state seed commissioners,
was in Emmett Friday to give all
grain grown for certification in Gem
county its final inspection. Mr.. Ahl-
son worked in cooperation with E. A.
Hall, crop project leader of the Gem
County Farm Bureau.
The variety of seed certified and
the growers are as follows:
Dicklow wheat-Leonard Dresser
and H. w. Hollar.
Powers Club wheat-H. L. Fest and
J. w. Strang.
Trebi barley-Howard Harper, j.
I. Guthrie and st. Clair Guthrie.
Idamine oats-Geo. Halder and c..
T. Morehouse.
Mr.. Allison stated that many of the
samples of grain that were not certi-
fled we're pure and would be approved
for seed, but could not be certified be-
cause of the large amount of shriyel
ell grain, which was caused by short
age of water at the time the grain
was filling. 1t is hoped that with the
construction of the new dam the farm
ers of this section will be more sure
of a regular water supply and that
they will not be troubled with break
in the ditch at critical period in the
development of the crop.

A Conflagration.

Fire completely destroyed huge
hornets nest in the Coonrod orchard
south of town the first of the week.
No insurance. Many lives were lost.
The nest is described by Alva Coon
rod as being twice the size of the one
in The Index window. 1t was in
an apple tree and as Alva wanted
to pick the fruit unmolested, he de-
cided to smddge the nest. Smudge
torch in hand, he was climbing the
tree, when the sentry on duty gave
the alarm, and the enemy attacked in
force. Alva started his gas attack
and puffed SO hard to produce the
smoke screen that sparks flew onto
the hornets home and with a puff
of smoke and burst of flame it van
ished.

The Index's Cut Service.

Fred Hatch, representing the Myer-
Both company of Chicago, was an
Emmett visitor Saturday. Myer- Both
make the matrixes from which the
cuts used by Index advertisers are
cast-a service that is used by one
of the big daily newspapers in every
city in the United States and in many
of the foreign countries. Mr.. Hatch
being in Boise, could not resist the
temptation to come to Emmett to see
what kind of town this was that could
afford such service. He says The
Index is the only newspaper in
town the size of Emmett in the Unit
ed States that takes this service. The
"mats" are received once a month
and number more than 1000. They
are right up to the minute, picturing
for instance, in women's and mems
wear, the latest styles. In fact, no
fashion magazine contains plates
more up-to-date, and the files of the
copy sheets sent out are complete
fashion guides. Ladies will be well
come to inspect them at any time for
suggestions in dressmaking. The
mats" are cast into plates in The
Index's stereotyping department for
use Of its advertisers. There is scarce
y a business of any kind that can
not find illustrations to set off their
advertising. The service is free to all
advertisers.

Boys Enjoy Outing

July. 4th, about 4 o'clock The ron Crigler and Buddie Murphy went dp to Little Mulberry creek for a week end camping. Mur- phy caught all the fish they could eat. Bass and perch abound in great numbers below and above the old Epperson ford. Murphy in a few minutes casting with a rod and reel would come back to theii camp with pockets filled with fish. Frogs also abound in great numbers. but the Little Mulberry Creek is just teeming with fish.
 The boys went on horse back with one pack horse, old Big Doc took his western pinto, but she didn't like camp life like he did for no wonder she could not eat tha fish that he ate.
 Theron's little pony kicked of the pack once or twice, but of all his hard luck he never lost his head in elting fish although the other food tasted gooi to Bndd'e. Old Big Doe got full of fish.
 There was lots of grass out side So they kept their ponies fat
 That's the kind of life boy likes, looks like more could in. dulge in some of the camping trips made to Little Mulberry, Hurricane. Rock Creek, White Rock mts.. Shepherd mt.

Good Roads Days Popular
 In Mill Creek Township

We have had several Good Roads daS s in this township this year on which we did large amount of much needed work on the roads which could never have been done if lot of the public spirited citizens had not donated work to help build roads.
 in one end of the township, where there are not sufficient hands to keep up the roads. we had the help of Messrs. Cecil Mainard, H. F. Burke and B c. Garrett with their teams and put the roads In good fix.
 On another part of the roads H. C. Gamble and Elisha Black worked with their teams and P. T. Mantooth, N C Triplette and Price Gamble did good service single handed.
 At another time Frank Bush. Dave Essman and Franklin Keith worked With their teams while Fred Essman, Wess Bush, Bill Bush, Austin Rice, Zeb Rainwater and Tom Allen did yoeman's ser vice with hand-tools
 Others may have helped whose names have slipped my memory Q'm writing this without my time bock) if so, they did good work for there were no shirkers on the job.
 We will have other road work ings later and am sure that the citizens will be as liberal with their help as those mentioned above for the progressive spirit is general among the people of Mill Creek township.

Why the French Failed.

The French made a tragic fail ure at building the Panama canal because the great loss of life on the lsthmus from the ravages of malaria and yellow fever made it impossible to keep the necessar y manp0Wer to accomplish the task.
 When the United States under took to accomplish the big job and finish the uncompleted work, the first efforts were spent in making it safe from these diseases.
 The canal is complete and the loss of life occurring during its building is negligible as compar- ed to that suffered by the French.
 All this was accomplished by the application of sanitary meas ures. First. by insuring whole some water supplies. Second, by screening all living quarters to prevent entrance of mosquitos which carried malaria and yell low fever. Third, by oiling or draining all water pools which might offer a breeding pace for those mosquitos, Fourth. by keeping cut away all unnecessary vegetation which might harbor mosquitOs.
 So effective has been the work that today mosquito or a fly in the canal zone is almost a curiousi- ty. The health is better and the death rate lower than in many parts of the United States,
 Scores of towns in the South west. in Arkansas, Missouri. Ok lahOma and Texas can take a leat from the Panama Canal experi- ence. Malaria is the scourge of many communities, yet little IS being done to check the malady. Is your community one of these? Local interest and cooperation with the state health campaign against malaria will do the job

R. M. WiIdman Died
 Suddenly, Yesterday

E. M. Wildnlan died yesterday evening at 9:l5, very suddenly. He had been sick for the past two weeks, but his condition was not thought to be serious, and his death was very unexpected by his physician as we'll as by his family. He was sitting up, had eaten his supper with the family and had been out in the yard. After smok- ing he sat talking to his wife and daughter and suddenly complained of not feeling well: His family suggested that possibly it was his smoking but he thought not. He then rested his face in his hand with his elbows on his knees and said he felt very sick Mrs. Wild man told him that they had better get him Ito bed. He placed his chair as if to raise himself up and gently leaned forward and died with his head in his daughters lap.
 Mir. WiIdman has been the rail road agent here for sixteen years or more and has been faithful in the discharge of his duty. He was a loyal member of the Methodist Church, and had many warm friends here.

The meeting of the Good Roads Association was not as we'll at tended as it should have been but it was of a nature to be very im- portant to the good roads move ment and should be of great help to the overseers who were present.

The Country Teacher

''Has she a good place to live while teaching in your district? Has she a good comfortable room all to herself where she can five her own life, go to bed when she phases or read in comfort and quiet. Is she made welcome in the activities of the community, or is she an outcast? Can she :, have her company in a safe place at home. or must she meet her friends out in a buggy or auto- < mobile, or the dark lanes?
 These are pertinent question, The rural teacher is human. she pays for room and board She wants privacy. She is under no oblip pations to he baby tender, cook. dishwasher, or nurse for the family she lives with. She is paid little enough for teaching. The wages of a servant is another matter.
 The school district is not pay ing for a servant girl for some family in the district. The difficulty in securing a teacher for the rural school will not be overcome entirely by paying a higher salary. If the teacher has to live where she is consider ed one of the family, has to sleep with members of the family live as they live and go to bed to save heat and light. salary increase is little inducement.
 The servant girl and the hired man work for the family. They have to adapt their ways more to the family ways. The teacher ia paying her way and is entitled to good room board and. freedom to live as she wishes without be- ing under obligations to the fam fly that keeps her. This is the kind of freedom she finds in the townc and her one ambition will he to get town school if living conditions are not congehial in the country. A teacherage is the solution.
 Let the teacher have a furnish ed cottage and live her own life if no one in the district will ac- cept her as a rOOmer and entitled to what she pays for.
 The consolidated school with a teacherage is one step that will bring to the district capable teachers equal to those in the city schools. Teachers are human beings. Treat them as such. James B. Morrison.
