TO ENFORCE THE HoRTICUL-
TURAL LAWS.

John u. Mcpherson, state horticul-
turist, returned Thursday evening to
Boise from trip about Caldwell and
Nampa. He has appointed Edgar
Meek as deputy Inspector for the Cald-
we'll district Every district has two
inspectors under the new administra-
ton and the crop situation is being
taken in hand as never before.
Mr.. Mcpherson said that there are
thousands of trees being imported by
the orchard men in every part of the
state and that the acreage this year
will go ahead by leaps and bounds
over anything seen in the state be-
fore
He is determined that the spraying
and inspection shall be enforced and
all nursery stock coming into Idaho
from outside will be inspected here,
regardless of whether it was inspected
before coming to this state or not.
This precaution is said to be necessary
because of the fact that in years past
much disease has found its way into
the orchards here through careless
ness OF inspectors in allowing infected
trees to get into Idaho. The laws
requiring all material in which dis
ease infected trees are wrapped to b'
/, burned shall likewise be enforced b!

EXTRACTS FROM THE
OUTLOOK MAGAZINE

In 1902 Mr.. Louis X. Liggett. being
most men the APPALLING amount of adul-
teration practised in the drug business
and realizing the hopelessness of fully
correcting this evil in all drugs, evol-
we'd the idea out of which sprang the
Rexall Remedies.
This young man had an active i'm
agination; he saw the havoc being
wrought by the innocent use of habit
forming narcotics, the weak growing
strong less rapidly and all the other
evils, disappoinments and heart aches
caused by inferior and adulterated
drugs; this knowledge could be of no
benefit unless remedy could be Of
fered.
so in small part of small four
stored building the Rexal Remedies
were first manufactured, this was in
1902, and the list of remedies at that
time included only fifteen preparations
and were handled by only thirty-four
druggists.
This line of remedies is handled by
only one druggist in each town. the
Botkin-Harmon Drug Co., being the
representative in Caldwell, and only
one requirement is ssential-integrity
Unless the druggist applying for
membership in the Rexal organization
has a reputation in his community for
absolutely fair and square dealings, he
can not get in.
Thus is your health protected.
At the beginning thousands of for
mulas were secured-prescriptions
from the greatest doctors in the world
these were carefully tested and Rexal
Remedies produced from the most
beneficial.
The result is manifest in the fact
that today there are over three hund'
red and fifty preparations in the Rexa
line; remedies for all the ills of man
kind.
Last year over 100000 packages
of Rexal medicinal preparations in DIR,
form-that is, powders, pills, tablets
ETC., were sold.
Rexal liquid preparations are sol
: in even greater quantities.
r The sale of chocolates runs int
millions of pounds.
Rexall toilet preparations are use
in tremendous quantities.
n We are apt to give our drug neces
e stiles to little consideration, this is ne
e wise.
An excellent history of the Rex
Remedies appears in the March issu
OF the Outlook Magazine. Read it,

Odd Fellows to Hold Big Celebration

The Odd Fellows of Canyon county
have organized an association for cele-
brating the anniversary of American
Odd Fellowship These celebrations
will be held annually in some one OF
the towns of the county. The one this
year will take place at Caldwell on
April 26th, and will mark the 92nd an
niversary of the order.
Committees are work perfecting
plans for the celebration, which will
include all OF the Odd Fellows and
Rebekah lodges of the county.
Among the features of the affair will
be a street parade, an address by Gov
ernor Hawley and special entertain
| ment in the evening.
The entire program will probably be
ready by another week and II so will
be given in full to our readers. This
much is pretty certain that it will be
the biggest event of the kind ever held
in Canyon county, and the affair Is
creating a good deal Of interest among

New Monarch Machine at the Court

The county assessor and his depu-

arrival of a new Monarch typewriter.
1t is a 26-inch carriage machine
equipped with all the latest attach
ments, including shifts and shift locks
back spacer, margin release, variable
line spacer, 10-key tabulator stops and
others. The assessments for 1911 are
to be written in loose-leaf book on
this machine, and it is the thought
that many errors can be avoided and
the REGARD be made more legible.

P. M. Smock was the representative

or Of the Tribune, and an article TAX
en from the great New York agricul-
tural weekly, has aroused the ire Of

had no desire other than to publish
such facts as are generally known of

Shrine Of the mystic god. We apo,o-
gize to the priests.
However, the Tribune proposes to
10 on in this investigation and if pos
sible save the people of Caldwell a
8few thousand dollars.
We would in the beginning urge up
on the readers of the Tribune two
things, namely, That the Tribune is
sIiable to error and may mistake the
objects and purposes of Mr.. Lewis
and that Lewis is no demi-god and Z
philanthropist of doubtful anteced
Nents; a business man of questionable
reputation.
We would also state that the editor
of the Tribune fell for the game He
together with a hundred or so others
put up his first four dollars. The in
svestigation that has ensued followed
the suggestions of men and womel

litigation is not solely creditable to tn

TELLS OF LEWIS
CALDWELL LAWYER SAYS
LEWIS is A CRATER OF

All Lewis Schemes Are Questionable,

A Statement.
Il do not care to be interviewed on
f. C. Lewis of the Lewis Publishing
company, founder of chapter houses
and organizer of the Womens League.
You may say, however, that | would
warn the people of Caldwell against
Lewis and his schemes. Every pro-

with it somewhere He has an unen-
viable reputation throughout the
country and especially in ST Louis"
The foregoing is a statement made

we'll known, responsible and reliable
attorney, residing and practicing his
profession in Caldwell. For number
of years he lived and practiced his
profession in St. Louis, and had am
pie opportunity to study and know
something of Mr. Lewis, his meth
DDS, schemes and propositions.
Il can and will substantiate this

sible man and knows whereof h
speaks. He is not in the employ O

OTHER PEOPLES MONEY.
Where It Has Gone To.

Z. G. Lewis has finally yielded to.
the persistent demands for a financial
statement of the affairs of his Ameri-
can Women's League Remember
ing what he has published the past
three years, it is not surprising that
he did not permit the women to audit
the accounts as promised, nor that he
refused so long and persistently to
make the statement. Just year ago
he was urging the women, as you will
remember, to hurry UP their applica-
tons for membership, as the chapter
would be full by Christmas and no
room left for delinquents. 1t will in
tercst you to know that he had only
q, 100 applications for membership on
January /, 1910; and these only about
half paid up You will also REGAL
that recently he stated that applica-
lions had been made for more thar
enough to fill the 100000 membership
IN the chapter, and that those who
did not pay up promptly would lose
their right to membership to thos'
who paid up first Now he admits
that on Oct /, 1910, he had only So,
3l3 applications for membership, an'
I these were only about half paid in.
The league has no property in IT
own name, but there is an art build
q ing and some chapter houses held II
the name of trustee designated b.
8 Lewis, and a campus held by corpor
alton controlled by him. None of thi
4 property furnishes any income, bu
the campus is mortgaged for $l4l,Sl'
at q per centum per aunum, and thi
interest is payable monthly, indicai
ing that it is mortgaged to the liml
This interest expense is $s,S0S,60
year.
But it is the income and eXpend
lures of the league that is the mo-
astonishing. When the league W.
j formed you remember that the wome
were told that the membership wou
he complete in two years and that Il
league would start off with a mes
egg of $2o000,000." Not only thg
but the Lewis Publishing compar
would also receive $2o.000,0O0 and

ces of all the rich Lewis companiS
including the league, and make mo

aud both these were to pay 100 p
