SWEET SWAMPED
BY EMMETT
Costly Errors of Squaw Creekers Ac-
count for High Score.

In the game Decoration Day be-
tween the Modern Woodmen ball team
of Sweet and the Prune Pickers, En-
NETT won by the one-sided score OF
Is to l. The Wood Choppers were ac-
companied by a large delegation of
rooters. A record breaking crowd
witnessed the game.
Costly errors on the part of Sweet
accounted fo the big score piled up
against them. The balloon went up
in the fourth inning and seven runs
crossed the home plate before it could
be brought back to earth. Emmett
scored in every inning except the sec
ond and the eighth. Sweets lone
score came in the fourth when H.
Goodwin clouted for two bases to
right field and scored on an overthrow
to second.
Aston was on the mound for the
Prune Pickers and performed like a
veteran. He struck out g. Erwin was
back in his old position at the receiv-
ing end and did good job. Clark, the
new shortstop, captured the crowd
and his fast fielding and base run
ming were features that added zest to
an otherwise tame game. Joe Brown
occupied the left garden and nabbed
everything that came his way. The
changed lineup was marked inn

fective methods be employed to check
its ravages. Not only will a portion
of an infected alfalfa field be spray
ed, but lecture will be given on the
weevil, its life history, habits, method
of control, etc. 1t will behoove each
farmer to attend this demonstration

END OF LIFE OF NOBLE
YOUNG WOMAN
This Entire Community Grieves
Over Passing of Miss
Pearl PatisOn.


on last Friday evening overwhelmed
the entire community with sorrow,
On the Saturday previous she was
stricken with an attack Of appended
tbs while at her work in the Golden
Rule store. An operation was per-
formed on Sunday afternoon, which
for a time gave promise of success
ful outcome. But peritonitis develop
ed and after heroic struggle of sew
eral days Miss Patison passed away.
She was conscious to within fifteen
minutes of her death.
Miss Patison was born at Napton,
Mo-, June 21, 1883. When years
of age she came with her parents to
Emmett, where she has since lived.
On December 20, 1903, she was bap-
tized into the fellowship of the En-
NETT Baptist church, where she has
been an active and influential mem
Der. She has served the church in
various official positions and at the
time of her death was a primary
teacher, young Peoples leader and
a member of the church choir. Her
influence was felt not only in the
church of her choice, but in all the
churches and in the entire community,
and through Southern Idaho. She
was a well known business woman and
for the past 10 years has been one of
the force of the Golden Rule Store.
In her work here she came into con-
tact with hundreds of homes and many
people who came to esteem and love
her. She was member of the sec
ond graduating class of the Emmett
High school, being one of six to grad
uate at that time.
Her funeral was held on Sunday
afternoon at p. m. in the Baptist
church, conducted by her pastor, A.
C. Lathrop, assisted by Rev. Elmer
Grant Keith of the Methodist church,
Rev. Miller of the bunker church, and
Rev. C. H. Blom of the Ontario, Ore
gon, Baptist church 1t was one of
the largest attended funerals ever
held in Emmett. Fully 800 people
looked upon her beautiful face for
the last time here on earth and many
eyes were moist with tears as they |
thought of her lovely life. Pastor
Lathrop stressed as the secret of her
successful life: (D Her personal rea-
lization of the presence of Jesus
Christ, (2) her faithful witnessing,
and (3) her life of devoted service to
God, home, church, business and COM
munity. The floral tributes were
beautiful and touching. Her girl as
sociates in the Golden Rule store act
ed as honorary pallbearers. She was
laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery,
mourned by the entire community.
She is survived by her aged parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. M. A. Patison, three
sisters, Mrs. Lille Bach and Mrs.
Mary Nichols, both of Nyssa, and
Mrs. Annie Pollard Of Palo Alto, Calf
and one brother, Franklin of Home
dale, Oregon. All were present at
the funeral
To have lived such life as to call
for such spontaneous tribute; to pass
on and leave behind such heritage
Of love, and yet to have walked only
the quiet path of the great majority
Of "just folks" is an Illuminating les
son for those Of us who are ttreading |
the same path.

Train service on the Great North

result of fire which destroyed
bridge at Heimdal. The bridge is one

passengers and baggage was trans
terred to trains waiting on the other
side.
The burning bridge was discover
ed Sunday by two boys who were
gopher shooting. They saw the
structure in flames, and also the ap-
proach OF freight train. The boys
stood i'll the center of the track and
signalled wildly to the engineer, who
brought the train to a standstill be-

A very simple and effective lit
tie set Gig. 43) under favorable con
ditions and with good aerial, will
pick up the broadcast music, signals
and other sounds from stations at con
siderable distances. No specific range
for this or any other set can be given
for the efficiency Of any set depends
upon a great many conditions and in.
fuences. The length and height OF
aerials, the proximity Of high build
ings, electrically charged cables or
wires, the perfection Of insulation OF
aerial, adjustment of instruments; all
affect the range Of receiving set
and, in addition, there are climatic
and other conditions to be taken into
consideration.
In the diagram A represents the
aerial, which should be a single
wire as nearly $50 feet in
length as possible and as high as it can
be placed. B is the ground which
should be made by scraping spot on
gas, water or radiator pipe and
soldering the wire in place. G is a
variable condenser in the ground lead
and for this set should be about .OOO5
microfarads. D is the crystal detec.
tor, e the telephone head set and F a
variOmeter.
The variable condenser and vario-
meter may be purchased ready-made
from any dealer in radio supplies and
while they may be made at home yet
it is far more satisfactory and just
about as cheap to purchase the stock
instruments. The same Is true of
the crystal detector and head set. You
should, however, be careful in select
ing the galena crystal to be used with
such an outfit as this mineral varies
greatly in it's sensitiveness. The best
plan is to purchase pound or two

OF the crystals and test number OF
pieces by means Of buzzer. You will
probably find that while some crystal.
are absolutely useless others are fair
and q few are very sensitive. To
make up such set is very simple, as
the various parts are merely connected
with insulated copper wire, as shown
in the figure, using binding posts which
may be purchased for few cents.
The whole may then be mounted on
piece Of fibre-board or bakelite or it
may be set up on neat board or
block and enclosed In case with
hinged cover. Such set, including
all connections, wires, insulators for
aerial, ETC., should not cost over $40,
and will be found far superior to many
ready-made sets costing much more.
Crystal Detectors and How to
Make one.-The crystal detectors used
in sets such as described are of vari-
GUS forms, Fig. Al, but in all the
principle is the same and they all con-
sist Of crystal cup or holder, binding
screws and an adjustable contact of
fine wire. They are not expensive in
struments and it Is usually easier and
cheaper to purchase them ready made
than to make them, but they are very
easy to construct and any boy can
make practical detector in few
hours. One Of the simplest Is shown
in Fig. 45, and consists merely Of a
fiber base, a strip Of brass about 1-16
or 1-8 inch thick bent in the form
shown; a brass plate which can be
moved from side to side on pivot,
to hold the crystal; fine coiled wire
and binding-posts. The plate holding
the crystal is connected with one post
and the brass strip holding the wire
to the other post. If possible, use
platinum wire for the contact, but this
is not essential.
