The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1909-10-29

outlined in detail two weeks ago, to
load car with produce last Satur-
day to ship free of every expense to
the National Land Show at Chicago,
miscarried, and only half dozen
sacks OF produce was brought in, al
though oceans Of it were promised.
President Jones Of the Commercial
club has been securing the country
in his automobile trying to get 1t to
moving, and has brought in some In
his car, and others of the committee
who have gone out to see what could
be done, found the farmers sacking
the finest OF potatoes, but too busy or
too little appreciating the opportunity
now open to them to exhibit their
crops free of expense, to sort up q
sack or two each and get 1t to town.
They were all willing to donate the
potatoes, provided the committee
would sort and sack them and haul
them in.
On Wednesday evening there was
a call meeting of the committee and
some others of the Commercial club,
and after canvassing the situation,
| those present decided that the only
way to get the car of exhibits was to
| 60 out and get them, and being un-
willing to let SO great an opportunity
pass, they began to divide up the bur-
den among themselves, determined
| to load the car on Saturday. The
following list shows what is promis-
ed on this plan UP to date, the first
dozen or so in the list being the ones
| who volunteered to make up the car
alone If they could get no help, but
others have learned of the situation
and are hunting up the committee
to add to the collection. Those head
| ing the list are the committee in
charge.
