NASTODON TEETH
AT REPUBLICAN
Steam Shovel of the Utah Construo
tion Co. Digs into Remains of
Mastodon

The Republican office is in posses
sion of parts of the teeth of Masto-
don dug up between Chalk and Ham
nett where the Utah Construction
Co. is double-tracking.
They were struck about 80 feet
below the surface of the ground and
about SO feet from where bones Of
the Mastodon were struck when the
first track was laid A tusk was
found but the workmen broke it up
before they knew what it was. When
the pieces were placed together it
was found to be over feet long and
had IA layers of Ivory on it.
H. w. Wynant took possession of
part of the teeth and brought them
to the Republican office. Later he
will turn the mover to the public
schools.
The teeth were very hard when
first struck but after being exposed
to the air for some time they began
to crumble and are now falling to
pieces.
The Mastodon is indeed freak
animal. The genus containing the
largest known labyrinthodonts, the
skull sometimes being over feet
long. At the front end of the low
II Jaw are a pair of short tusks,
which close into openings, piercing
the premaxillae The body and
limbs are imperfectly known. Their
remains are usually found in the
Trias of Europe and Asia.

DELIGHTFUL CARD PARTY
FOR MRS. J. R. NORWOOD

Mrs. R. E. Thompson was hostess
to a very pleasant card party last
Friday afternoon, in honor Of her
daughter, Mrs. j. R. Norwood, who
has spent the summer here, and is to
return to her home in Sylvia, Kan,
next week. The house and porch
were beautifully decorated with cut
flowers, and potted plants. Five
Hundred was played at six tables,
invitations having been sent out for
eight tables, but a number were out
of town. Mrs. o. e. Cannon scored
the highest, and was awarded first
prize, box of handkerchiefs; Mrs.
F. A. Wilcox won second prize, which
was a powder puff. A delicious
lunch was served on small tables,
and time for going home came en-
tirely too soon. Every one expressed
themselves as having had fine af-
ternoon.

we are using all of our available
space and that when the question OF
more room voted on three years age
it was rejected by those who took
part in the bond election. 1t is our
duty to make the best of what room
we have and we have cheerly done
so.
The two criticisms just referred
to, too limited high school courses
and basement rooms are mentioned
here to partly explain some falling
off in high school attendance and
partly to make clear the reason for
some dissatisfaction as to where
children are placed. Due to the fl
nancial conditions of the lact few
years and to the verdict of our voters
when bonds for more room were re-
jected we have followed policy of
strict economy and of the greatest
efficiency possible. This sometimes
causes us to go without things which
people want and efficiency causes
some of their students to fail if they
cannot come to the standard set. We
are going to go on to do eheerfully
the best possible work under the con-
ditions we have and hope that every
one will give the best assistance pos
sible in the way of cooperation. Con-
ditions within the school point to
a year of conscientious and success
full effort. We hope that our limit
ed amount of room and cramped high
school course of study will not cause
anyone to withhold his support Of
the school and its work.

headway. Some hardpan has also
been encountered.

TO PARENTS AND COLLEGE
STUDENTS

The young people of Mountain
Home planning to go away to school
should not overlook the Idaho Tech.
nical Institute at Pocatello. It has
gone up so rapidly that many people
do not realize its splendid status at
present. BY enlarging the faculty
and by raising its standards of equip
ment and instruction, the school has
in tour years achieved a new epoch
and its credentials are now as val
liable as those from any Institution
of the same class and are recognized
throughout. the United States. High
School grauates by attending the
Tech Junior College are upper class
men from the start, drawing the best
teachers and heads of departments
and reducing materially their chan
ces for disappointment or failure.
They enter the University of Idaho,
or any other standard university, as
full fledged Juniors and are thus
upper classmen throughout their en-
tire course. Think it over - state
school, no tuition, instructors equal
to the best, splendid school spirit.

tion visit to the campus now might

Pooatello on Saturday

Moscow, Sept. Six hundred and
ninety-two miles, the greatest dist
ance covered by any university or
college special train, will be made
by the annual southern Idaho-Mos-
COW student special, which will start
its long trip at Pocatello Saturday
morning September Is, at 11:20, and
arrive in Moscow the next afternoon
at 1850, carrying 500 students
aboard. Registration will begin the
following day
Plans for the train are now COM
pleted, and railroad officials say that
the present time schedule will be
used. Connections will be made at
Minidoka with train No. 1856, carry
ing through sleeper from Bull, for
the students Of the Twin Falls sec
ton, and at Nampa a special stub
from Boise, on the following sched-
ule;
Leave Boise 5:15 p. m.
Leave Meridian 5:40 p. m.
Arrive Nampa 500 p. m.

No. AZ, Saturday morning Students
from east Of Pocatello Will make con-
nections by coming into Pocatello on
train No. 10.
The schedule is so arranged that
all students will board the train in
the daytime and will arrive in Mos
COW in the daytime.
Students desrng sleeper accommo-
dations may make reservations, it is
announced, by having their local
railroad ticket agent wire the ticket
agent of the Oregon Short Line eth
er at Pocatello or at Boise.

commodate 800 persons on the train,
with baggage cars, coaches, diners,
and standard sleepers. While no
present announcement is made of the
number of cars that will compose the
train, provision for 800 persons, it is
assumed, will require a train fully
equal to that of last fall, which con-
sisted of 10 cars, pulled into Moscow
1y two engines
Students are advised to see to 1t
hat their baggage is placed on the
special train. This will insure their

chance Of delay in its arrival, with

apidly than in former years with no
elays or mistakes. 1t is probable
hat for this purpose student will

Climate Favors
Crop of Onions
Conditions G. God for
Harvesting in Dry
Idaho Fields

The dry atmosphere prevailing in
Idaho during the harvest season for
the main crop onions is particularly
favorable for ripening, curing and
sacking the onion bulbs. Under such
conditions storage diseases do not
flourish and sound storage onions can
be put by. Information which we
have been able to secure from var
ious sources and inspection OF onions
held over from last fall convinces us
that Idaho onions are good keepers.
Growers who have tried Australian
Browns say tina, they do we'll here
and it is fortunate that seed OF the
Buckskin strain. which is the best
keeper OF all, is available for plant
ing.

LAY PLANS FOR
LETTUCE CROP
Suggestions Made f o r
Best Results to the
Growers

Ii the same acreage OF fall lettuce
is planted in the Boise valley as last
year and weather conditions are nor
NAL, the production will probably be
much heavier than last year. II the
Boise valley increases its acreage and
competing sections do the same, the
movement will be still heavier and
competition more severe. In order TO
succeed as well as possible in spite OF
an increased movement we make the
following suggestions:
l. Extend shipping period as much
as practicable by making successive
paintings. Four or FIVE paintings are
recommended.
?. Keep down cost OF production by
using horse labor as a substitute for
hand labor where feasible and apply
ing no more manure than is needed
One grower secured his best crop last
year where he used no manure at all.
;. Strive for quality. In growing
harvesting, grading. and packing work
for high standard of product
4. Do not plant too extensively.
5 Diversity. Make it possible to
ship to maximum markets by provid-
ng such products as cauliflower and
;elery for mixed car shipments.
o. Cooperate in holding down cost
II packing Work to a community
Program in planting to provide steady
nd continuous supplies Deliver no
or inferior stock which will
onsume time in culling.
