The infant child of Mr. and Mrs.
Ralph Black of our village, after a
brief span of earthly life, was TAX
en- by the death angel Monday, Oct.
90, 1925, aged two months and four
days, being born, August %. Little
Walter had been i'll but a day or two
and his departure was very sudden.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Zacher chapel Tuesday after
noon, at $3.50, by Rev. c. E. Mason,
assisted by quartet of young girls,
Lorraine Stewart, Doris Norell, Eve
Ign House and Caroyl Braden, Mrs.
Braden playing the piano. The Sc
lections by request were, Jewels,
Precious Jewels, and The Snow
Prayer. The little white coffin was
decorated with beautiful flowers, and
the little form looked as though
asleep. Besides the hearts of the
large circle of relatives, many in the
congregation were tenderaly affect
ed. Committal services were held at
the grave.
Relatives present were: Besides
the father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph Black and children Ralph, Jr.,
and William Lee; John Black of
Bruneau; Mrs. Nora Isaacs of Pay
cite; Mr.. and Mrs Enrol Black of

POTATO INDUSTRY
rs ON UPGRADE

Nearly 800 cars of seed potatoes of
a quality required by certification
standards will be produced in Idaho
this year, 1t is estimated by r. R..
Bennett, extension horticulturist for
the University of Idaho. This out
put will come from approximately
$50 growers.
These 800 cars will be seed pota-
toes that are virtually absolutely free
of disease. Idaho farmers have found
both through information and warn
ing and through experience that the
use of certified seed is the only safe
and profitable plan. 1t is impossible
to determine whether or not seed is
diseased after it has been taken from
the field and stored for a winter.

LOCAL OFFICIAL
rs COMMENDED

Some time ago the State Depart
ment of Public Welfare made appli-
cation for admission into the birth
registration area, but owing to the
fact that Idaho could not show that
ninety per cent of the births were
registered, admission was denied.
This lexity on the part of the Regis
traits of Vital Statistics was the
cause of the state to attain their goal
in this regard. In commenting upon
the registration of births in Gilmore
County, A. f. Anderson, the local
registrat, received the following
communication from the state de-
partment the forepart of the past
week.
Il regret to inform you that Ida
no failed in the test for admission
into the birth registration area. This
is the second time we have applied
for the test and neither time were
we able to show that 80 per cent of
our births were registered.
''Your county, however, passed
with very high grade and I wish
to commend you for the splendid
work you are doing in this regard.
It is gratifying to know there are
some, at least, who realize the nee
essity of complying with the law in
registering births and deaths. Those
who fail or neglect to file certificates
are subject to heavy penalty and it
will be exacted, if necessary, in or
der to bring our state up to the
standard
Il wish to congratulate you upon
the splendid showing for your coun-
ty, but I wish, also, to urge your
perseverance in the matter"
