Stop That Ache!

Don't worry and complain about a bad back. Get rid of that pain and lameness! Use Doan's Kid ney Pills. Many people have used them and know how effec- tive they are. Ask your neighbor Here's a convincing case:
 Mrs. M. s. Quinliven. Adonis Ave-, Box No. 194 Miami, Ariz.. says: About six years ago was in bad condition with kidney trou- ble. 1 thought my hack would never stop aching. If 1 tried to bend over, sharp, darting, knife like pains caught me in my back and would get so dizzy, 1 could hardly walk about. My kidneys were weak and didn't act as they should. 1 tried different reme- dies, but they didn't help me any Finally, used Doan's Kidney Pills and they helped me immedi- ately. Before long Doan's re- moved all signs of the trouble 1 can't say too much in praise of this remedy. Price 6Oc, at all dealers.

WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS YOUR MAIL IS DELAYED
 AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY

The Dead Letter Office has been in existence ever since Ben Franklin started our postal service. Even then people addressed mail to MT. Ezekiel Smithers, Atlantic Coast" and ex- pected Ben to know just where Zeke lived
 Perhaps they had Zeke's address in letters up in the garret, maybe chest full of 'em, but then it was easier to let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are addressing letters to John Smith, New York, N r., or Chicago, H., thinking Uncle Sam can locate him, which is just as incomplete as was Zeke's ad- dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart ment asks you to put the number and street in the address. It helps you.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER
RESIGNS
A. e. Pomeroy Tenders Resigna-
tion and Win Move to
California.

A. E. Pomeroy, county commission
er for the Third district, filed his re-
signation with the county auditor last
week, to take effect the second Mon
day in April Mr.. Pomeroy intends
to move to California and make his
home there on account of the i'll
health Of his wife. To be finally eff
fective, the resignation must be ac-
cepted by the board of commissioners
The vacancy thus created must be
filled by Governor Davis. The Gov
efnor, however, cannot make an ap-
pointment TO fill the vacancy except
upon the petition of thirty electors
from Gem County. The appointment
can be made at once as soon as the
board accept Mr.. Pomeroy's resigna-
ton, and the new commissioner can
assume his office on the second Mon
day of April.
1t is hoped that some good man in
the 3rd commissioners district will be
selected and his appointment petit
toned for. The office is of great
to the public. While the
salary affixed to the office is small,
yet the power and influence placed
in the board is so great as to make
the office of commissioner the most
in the county.
Mr.. Pomeroy has filled the office
with signal ability, and has employed
his best efforts in the public welfare.
As is we'll known, the office came to
lim without his seeking it, and even
against his wishes; and he leaves it
With the regret of many friends, ir-
respective of party.

HIGH SCHOOL OpERETTl
PlEASES
Singing, Dancing, Acting and
Costuming of High Order
and Splendid Success.

The students Of the Emmett High
school again proved their ability as
amateurs along dramatic and musi-
cal lines in presenting, on Friday
evening in Liberty theatre, the pop
ular operetta, HThe Maid and the
MILDLY" From the beginning Of the
overture to the final chorus it was
a splendid success.
The concealed identity Of ANITA"
brought out amusing situations and
held the interest of the audience until
the Ablue, green. yellow colored'' crea-
ture appeared, thereby bringing the
MILDLY again into favor among his
friends and making happy Count Fer
nandez Granados y Fumeroso.
The solos were among the very best
ever heard from High school voices,
and the animated chorus joined in to
add zest and life to each scene.
The special dances were two of the
prominent features of the evening,
CiEutt DCtn W
and to the dancers themselves, espec-
tally the Snow dance, wherein the
white clad, red-mittened girls GER
tainly entered into the spirit of their
song with zest.
The costumes throughout were de-
signed by Miss Dewell and were well
planned in character, and original As
always happens, Charlie Gamsge as
sisted in the make up deal" and the
students highly appreciate his kind
assistance The orchestra, as usual,
was excellent not only in the over
ture and interludes, but also IN the
Taken as whole the entertainment
was very enjoyable and Miss Bruce
deserves much credit for the selection
and directing of this operetta.

Deer Are PIentifuI.

: Henry Russ, forest ranger at the
Gallagher station on the South Fork,
was in town Monday and Tuesday. He
says deer are numerous in that section
and on q recent trip from Gallagher
to Deadwood he counted $50 in the
gulches along the road. He says there
were so in one band. Alvin Fulton,
Who was in town Tuesday from Big
Willow creek, says he saw three near
the Andy Little ranch. Mr.. Russ says
coyotes are killing many of the deer.
The snow, which is two or three feet
deep, is crusted hard enough to hold
up the wolves, but not hard enough to
bear the deer and they are easily
overtaken and-killed by the coyotes.

WITH GROWERS
Proposition of Denny & Co. to
Pay zoe a Box Satisfactory
to Customers.

John Denney of Chicago, F. H.
Hogue and J. A. McMiIlen of Payette,
representing the Denny Fruit Com
pany, were in Emmett Tuesday of
last week and after conference with
various fruit growers relative to a
settlement of the 1920 fruit crop, Mr..
Denney subrnitted the following pro-
positions:
First, That the growers send GER
titled accountant TO Chicago to check
up all sales in detail and settle ac-
cording to the records. II anything
was found to be irregular the Denney
Company would pay all expenses of
the accounting. If nothing was found
TO be irregular the Denney Company
would pay one-half of the expense. In
order TO show that there was nothing
irregular in the returns made to
growers and 70 clear up any misunder-
standings that might exist, he pre-
ferred to settle on this basis.
Second. Realizing that the growers
were ar heavy expense IN producing
the 1920 crop, and that On account of
general conditions the returns were
low, ne was willing to share the loss
with them and woald put his earnings
(which included 10000 boxes from
the Denney orehards) against their
loss which would give the eyrnwers
10 cents per box net.
The committee representing the
growers accepted the second PROPOSE
ton, and expressed their satisfaction
at what they termed was very gen
erous adjustment. In accordance with
the above agreement, checks for the
amounts due growers were delivered

Carried.
The following motion, which was
referred to the attorney for his opin-
ion that only warrants of the fiscal 1
year could be applied on maintenance
assessments of the same fiscal year.
In answer the following letter was
received: "Section 1889 of the Idaho
Compiled Statutes provides that main
tenance warrants may be accepted az
cash in the hands of the original own
er for the payment of the mainten-
ance assessments This is not very
specific, but it seems to me that the

taking that position, and / think
would only allow warrants in payment
that have been issued for the fiscal
year. The opinion of the attorney
was accepted.
