COMMERCIAL CLUB
Q
HOLDS MEETING!
To Organize Payette County Commer
cial Club.
About 100 citizens of Payette coun
s- met last Thursdav at the Y M
A. for the purpose of considering
organization of a Payette County Com
mercial club.
A luncheon was served
at noon, and a very enthusiastic meet
ing was held in the afternoon,
present seem to favor the proposition
of organizing a county club _
AH
Id - g men was elected for the pur
post of adopting a set of by-laws and
perfecting the organization: Charley
Latteg, F. E. Selby, Dr. R. B. Hurd,
J F. Orr, Ed. Harper, Charley Bol
ton, Walter Pence D. L. Ingard, H.!
eleven directors composed of the fol
G. Gardner, Ross Mason, and Bernard
Eastman.
We sincerely hope the organization
of this club will be entirely satisfac
tory to the people of Payette county,
and that The membership will be well
distributed over the county in numbers
gnat enough to enable the club tO|
maintain headquarters in good large
rooms with some attraction to give
the members encouragement to attend
and take some interest in the club af
fairs. The directors atiove mentioned
are all men deeply interested in the
welfare of the county and not in any
one particular place, and we have
every confidence in their action in the
matter.

SCHOOL VERSES

IL
There should be no "versus" in the
above heading. Amusement and re
creation are as important and neces-j

thejy° un » P«>Ple as is school work itself,
There are times when amusement and
i recreation should have first place, and I
there are times when other important
! things should have right of way.
It is needless to call the attention !
andl°f tbe school patrons to the fact that j
have lost one-fifth of the school i

! *-' cns . If the work of the year is to j

arc willing to work overtime in anj
effort to make up the loss, but with-'

T , • , . . . ,i «
It is not only desirable, but neces- I
. „ , ,, , , I
sayr, if we round out the years work,:
that each pupil in the High School,
and possibly the upper Grammar
grades, shall establish, with the co
operation of the parents, a program j
of regular home study which shall !
necessitate the child's staying ail
home regularly on school-day even-1
ings, reserving only Friday and Sat-:
urday evenings for amusements. It is
just as easy and just as convenient •
to arrange functions designed for the |
recreation and amusement of school !
pupils for Friday evenings as for any
dither evening.
Tho attention of patrons is thus
called to the fact that with their co
operation in this matter, we can yet
complete the year's work in
good shape, but that without this co
operation we shall not be able

pupil is never at his best. Our motto;at
this year must be, "Every Fellow at
His Best All the Time." This means to
not only plenty of work, but also
plenty of sleep. The home study pro
gram should not require more than in
from one ^hour to one and one-half
to
year. *
It is an old story, and strangely be
iieved by many parents, for the pupil
to say, "I get all my lessons in school
r.nd do not need to bring my books •
home," but you will always note that !
the report card of such pupil never!

school-day evenings should never be

mental effort. In a fatigued body
there must inevitably be a fatigued
mind incapable of sustained effort,
while in a rested and refreshed body
there will be an active, alert mind
ready to grasp, in full measure, the
day's work.
Let us all, teacher, pupil and pa
tron pull together this year pnd do
a year's work in spite of the handicap
of loss of time.

The body of Dewitt A. Bigelow,
eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Millard F.
Bigelow, arrived in Payette Sunday
morning from Oxbow, Oregon, where
the young man had been for several
months work.ng in the mining camp,
and was taken sick while there and
passed away after but a few days
illness. Dewitt was a young man full
ambition and after registering for
service in the army and was exempted
be called at any time, went to
work at the mining camp near Oxbow,
where it would be convenient to re
Woodbum, Oregon, in 1917, and
shortly after came with his parents
Payette, where he made many
friends among the younger people
who Vill regret his early departure
life.
Besides a father and mother he
turn when called. He was taken with
nfluenza about a week ago and
passed away January 25th at the age
19 years 3 months and 2 days. He
was a graduate from the high school
leaves to mourn his death two brothers,
I;wight E. and Russell M., and two
. , . t. i „ „ u
s.rters Blanch and Belva, all of whom
... . , „ . .
are living at home. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. H. K. Wallis
at Riverside cemetery Monday after
noon at 4 P. M.. where the body was
laid to rest,
Stamey Spark Arrester.
F. Stamey has invented a device
which he calls the "Stamey Spark Ar
rester," and has just received his
patent from the United States patent
office. This device is a very prac
tical arrangement which will elim
inate all danger of fire from sparks
falling from the smoke stacks of
threshing machine engines, railroad
locomotives or other steam engines
where there is danger of fire. This is
a very simple arrangement—an at
tachment that can easily be attached
to any smoke stack with but little
trouble or expense and will overcome
one of the great dangers in operating
steam power. Mr. Stamey has al
ready received several letters from
people who are interested in his in
vention. and if it is properly handled
we believe there is a fortune in it
for him.
John Hutchinson was brought homo
from the Ontario Hospital yester
day, and is feeling fine. He certainly:
has had a sever* time for the last six
weeks five opperations and his case
considered hopeless at several differ
but certainly he had the

The fund is nearing the eight thou
