Board Cuts Taxes

The Village Board at adjourned
regular meetings held in the village
hall Monday evening and Tuesday
afternoon took up the matter of the
annual budget for the fiscal year
.1924-25. The finance committee
made its annual report showing an
increase in all departments from
which income is derived locally. Wa
ter rentals were reported to have
been all paid up to-date, condition
which has existed for some months
now and which speaks well for the
work of c. G.. Babcock, who is the
appointee of the board filling the
position of water tax collector. Near
ly double has been collected in fines
in the police judges department,
which looks as though the police
force were on the job, while dogs
tagged this year exceed any previous
year in the history of the village.
Seyenty-eight building permits were
issued during the year as against II
last year, and the income derived
from the waterworks has increased
proportionately The budget as
passed by the board calls for a 10
mill levy and ga mill special levy
for redemption of waterworks bonds
and interest and redemption of a
small amount of outstanding war
rants. This is a reduction over last
year of 10 mills. Not bad showing
for board that we are talking of
ousting, considering all the improve
ments- which have been made dur
ing the fiscal year 1924.

mouth. She repeated the action
wickedly with the other hand and
then drew both away in trembling
protest and slumped helplessly down
in her seat, her lips closed cruelty
together, and l could see that some
thing terrible was going on inside
that girls mouth. Lockjaw? Death?
The writhing and grooming grew
worse. Pupils jumped to the rescue,
Mr. Simpson arrived; orders were
given and some one managed grip
on ner neck while Walter Sessions
bravely undertook to pry open her
jaw. And there, clinging ruthlessly,
with a death grip, on the roof of
her mouth, a dark and forbidding
mass of Black Jack chewing gum.

Athletic Sweaters

Lately there has been a desire
among the high school students to
give dance in order to raise funds
to present each of the five players on
our faithful basketball team an ath-
letic sweater; but as this met with
OPPOSITION in the faculty, there has
been another plan uncovered con-
corning this matter and is without
doubt, the better of the two.
The plan is that the athletic board,
composed of the superintendent, the
president of the school board, and
the coach would each year present
TO the graduates of the Mountain
Home High School who had made
the first squad in basketball nice
athletic sweater.
The board also has the power to
grant to a player of the first team
who is leaving school for some good
reason, an athletic sweater as be-
fore. This year the two graduates,
Byron Norell and Gurnee Flesher
will be granted sweaters for their
splendid service on our basketball
team of 1923-1924.
AS there is no standing fund to
buy these sweaters, this year they
will be paid for with the money the
high school received for getting sub
scriptions to the Country Gentleman
and in the hereafter the financial
problem will be looked after by the
athletic board.
This is being done to create a
greater interest in both girls and
boys athletics and we all hope it
shall be successful.

SUNDAY SERVICES AT

We give you a hearty invitation
to worship with US next Sunday
morning. 1t is Mothers Day. Let
us assemble and do honor to our
mothers. If your mother is still liv-
ing, wear a colored flower. If she
has passed on to her reward wear a
white flower Our theme will be

urge the men to attend church some
where next Sunday and honor moth
er, the best friend man ever had.
If we were asked what Mountain
Home needs to make it better place
in which to live and rear family
we should promptly answer, To have
more men go with their families to
church at least once each Sunday.
We are not blind nor Indifferent to
the many things our little city has
of which to be proud. Our business
men are brilliant and well to the
front in serving the people in the
best and most up-to-date manner.
Our professional men are equal to
the best in their several professions.
Our lodges are well patronized and
their work is of the best. Our schools
maintain the highest standards. Our
social, commercial and civic clubs
are unexcelled Our churches are
fine and we'll equipped and provid-
ed at considerable expense with
pastors of education, experience and
practice, all of whom are earnestly
striving to give the best instruction
along moral and spiritual lines. It
is a mistake to say we have too
many churches. in Mountain Home.
1t were truer to say that we have
too few who attend church. It is a
tragic fact that very small per
cent of our men attend divine service
md some appear to be rather boastful
Of the fact that they scarcely ever
go. We feel sure that there are

has held many interesting basket
ball games in the last season. Many
of the activities were contributed by
the Literary Socities and Seniors.
On November 16, the two literary
Societies were formed, the first I'M
der Miss Groefsema, and the second
under Mrs. Hays.
The first Literary Society gave an
interesting Thanksgiving Program
on November %.
Soon after this, the basketball
season opened with game with the
clerks. They were defeated by Fl to
is.
The second Literary society, on
December 81, presented another in
teresting program. This program
was given to Christmas and New
Year.
To start the new year, game was
played at Glenns Ferry, defeating
them with a score of 10 to 16.
On January IS, our best basketball
game of the season was played with
Nampa on our own floor. The
crowd turned out to be record break
ing. We won with 80 points to their
%.
February and 8, the team took a
journey to Nampa and Meridian ex-
pecting to win games from them,
With tables turned we happened to
be defeated at both places.
The first Literary society again en-
tertained the high school on Feb
ruary %, with a patriotic program.
The last game of the season that
really won our souvenir was a game
with New Plymouth. The score was
SO to IS.
The high school plays of the sea-
son were introduced by the Juniors
in "At the End of the Rainbow" on
March 81. Then the Seniors pre-
sented welcome Home, Jimmy" on

other industries and institutions. The
far-reaching results of such calam-
ity cannot be oyer-estimated.
The State Department OF Agricul-
ture has established a. rigid quaran-
tine and the officers, though few in
number, are making a strenuous ef-
fort to prevent this disease gaining
foothold in Idaho. In spite of all
the state can do officially, there is
danger from incoming products and
livestock which may carry the infec-
ton. The success of this quarantine
measure depends upon the coopera-
ton of all citizens of the state.
Citizens of Idaho should familiar
ize themselves with the provisions of
this quarantine regulation which is
thought necessary to protect live
stock and other Industries and should
report all deviations from its re-
quirements. All peace officers OF the
state should be on the alert for vio-
lators and summary steps should be
taken to prevent any possible influx
of the disease. All livestock COM
ing into Idaho should be examined,
and if necessary, disinfected, and all
packing on California products
should be Immediately burned. Au-
tomobiles from California should be
disinfected and wandering workmen
from that state should subject their
and tools to disinfection.
Club officials and ministers have ex-
ce1ent opportunity to impress upon
the general public the seriousness Of
the situation, and the cooperation
Of the press of the state is most es-
sential in the successful operation of
this quarantine. A greater unity Of
purpose is needed among our citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE,, /, c. C.I
Moore, Governor Of the State of Ida
ho, do urge that mayors and peace
officers of cities and villages, sheriffs
and deputy sheriffs of counties and
all other health and peace officers Of
the state unite in the prevention of
the Foot and Mouth disease through
careful enforcement of the regula-
lions now in force, and, further,
urge that all citizens cooperate in
he distinctions Of suspected prod
lcts and livestock and in reporting
nfraetions Of the regulations to
peace officers of the state. to the end

The livestock industry Of Idaho is
in grave danger of being infected
with the so-called Foot and Mouth
disease which already has caused a
loss of more than two millions Of dol

introduction of such disease in the
state OF Idaho would not only de-

Base Ball News

The first of the season finds all of
our baseball players enthusiastic
about having baseball team. Our
school can turn out snappy team
with the players which we have.
Owing to the poor weather the
teams around this country did not
get organized until late in the sea-
son, and this week being the last
week before the finals, it's doubtful
whether there will be any games
played. We had two games sched-
uled with Glenns Ferry, but things
haven't turned out right in the Ferry
high school so the games will prob
ably not be played.
Even though there have been no
out-of-town games, there have been
several interesting games between
the boys of our high school.
There are more jokes than usual
this week as each Sophomore dele
gated to bring in one joke apiece;
they responded nobly.
Belva (drawing) = can't make
noses.
Russell = Don't worry; you can
make eyes.
Blanche see where a man mar
ried for money. You wouldn't mar
ry me for money, would you?
Lambert - Why no, l wouldn't
marry you for all the money in the
world.
Two small boys were puzzling
their brains to invent new game.
At last one of them said eagerly.
/ know Billy, let's see who can
make the ugliest face
Aw, go on, was the reply, look
what start you've got.
Latin teacher = Allen, conjugate
the verb to hear.
Allen (To Leo sitting near him ~
What is it?
Leo-Darn, if l know.
Allen Darnifinare, darnifinan,
darnifinatus.
What are you giving?
Allen-DarnIfino
Bess-I always sleep with gloves
on. That is what makes my hands
so soft.
DAN suppose you sleep with
your hat on, too.
A short sighted lady went into
curio shop one day, and after look
ing over the antiques for some time,
finally asked the clerk:
"How much is that Japanese idol
worth-the one over there by the
door?
It's worth a great deal, was the
crushing reply, it's the boss.
soph = What's the matter with
you.
