LOSE CHANCE FOR
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
High School Gets All Three De-
CisionS in Local Debate.
HIGH SCHOOL GETS ALL THREE
DECISIONS IN LOCAL DEBATE,
One Twin Falls Team Wins i'm This
city, While Other Team Loses in
GOOding.

Friday evening Twin Falls high
school debaters entered the forum
against Gooding in the first of the in
terscholastic series for the state
championship. One team representing
the Twin Falls high school under the
direction of Miss Moore, went to
Gooding, where the affirmative side of
the following question was taken by
that team: Resolved, that immigra-
ton into the United States should be
restricted by reading and writing
test The Twin Falls debaters were
Clifford Parrott, Thad Patton, Miss
Ruth Warrington and Lyle Dovery, al
ternate. While the debaters were
Handicapped by being out of their own
city with strange audience, yet they
acquitted themselves with credit. The
decision, however, went to Gooding,
on decision by the judges, one of whom
gave first place on delivery to a Good
ing debater who read every word of
her beate
The debate in this city between the
affirmative team of Gooding, Homer
Huddleson, Harold Ayers and Miss
Louise Smith, and the negative by the
Twin Falls high school, represented
by Claude Michelwaite, Miss Hazel
Lilly and Rollo Crater, was hotly con-
tested by all the speakers. Twin Falls
! in this debate received all three deci-
sions, winning by five points over
Gooding on totals of rank. But, how
! ever, owing to the fact that in Gooding
| the vote went the other way, by a
larger margin so that the total on
ranks for the two debates give Good
ing the chance to compete further in
the championship series.
The music for the debate was furn-
ished by young ladies of the high
school under the direction of the music
| department, and both numbers heartily
encored. The judges for the occasion
were Supt. Dlworth of Rupert, Supt
Markell of Buhl, and Mr.. M. B. Provost

Rally.
OFFICERS ELECTED FOR THE
COMING CAMPAIGN.
Enthusiasts Predict County, State
and National Victories for the
Party.

The Democrats of Twin Falls county
began the first work of the approach
ing campaign when on Friday evening
a large crowd gathered in the Union
hall in this city and reorganized the
Jefferson club. Enthusiasm and har-
mony were the principle features of a
meeting in which the Republicans
were consigned to defeat and the flag
of Democracy hoisted over the county
court house., state capitol and the
White House. The disciples of Jeffer-
son were convinced that the time was
ripe for the great victory and speeches
urging harmony were made on all
sides.
The club which was started in the
last campaign, elected officers for the
coming campaign with the following
well-known Democrats filling the posi-
tions:
President-W. F. Pike, Twin Falls.
First Vice President. w. Tanner,
Filler.
Second Vice President. F. Denny,
Twin Falls.
Secretary and Treasurer. E. Fin
ney, Twin Falls.
The club passed resolution asking
the state central committee to call for
a preference vote on choice OF presl-
dental candidate for the entire state.
Sen. w. H. Hornibrook declared at
this meeting that he would not be a
candidate for state senator again.
A number of the county officehold-
ers belonging to the club were called
upon and stated that the work done in
the county offices was meeting with
approval.
The following committee was ap-
pointed on arrangements for the Bryan

TWfNTY-N|Nf CARS OF STOCK
A Train Load of Cattle and Sheep
Shipped From Filler Yesterday.

Talk about your big advertisements
for the Twin Falls tract, but the ship
ment of stock that went out of this
station last night is only forerunner
of what is to happen in the future.
AS feeding ground Filler has already
attracted the attention of the big feed
ers and shippers and, from this year
on, there will be steady stream of
cars headed from her for the South
Omaha and Chicago markets.
Last Sunday l.. L. Ormsby, one of
the big shcepmen of Idaho, was in
Filler looking over the different bands
that are being fitted for market No
better judge Of sheep ever cast his eye
over a band than this same man Orms-
by, and when he stated that the lambs
that Frank Brown had ready for mar
ket were the fattest and best bunch
that he had ever seen in Southern
Idaho, those who know the gentleman
will not gainsay his judgment
Among the shippers Of cattle were
AL Page with $50 head of fine fat
steers, the McKinlay estate with 200
head and perhaps others whose names
we did not learn. Among the sheep
shippers were A. l.. HOughtaling, Nor
man Barker, VIM. ParslOw and Frank
Brown.
This string Of stock, making a spec
ial train Of twenty-nine cars, certainly
made an imposing spectacle as 1t pull
ed out of the yards bound for the east
ern markets. The Journal endeavored
to get picture of the train but fail
ed to connect with man with cam
era. The train should have been deco
rated with streamers informing the
country traversed that the stock was
being shipped from Filler, where the
best land on the Twin Falls tract is to
be found.-Filer Journal.

FOR HOME INDUSTRY,
Idaho Club Woman Calls on Idaho
Club Women to Buy ut Home.

The campaign in favor of patroniz-
ing home industries which has been
carried on by the Idaho Club Woman,
the official magazine of the Idaho
State Federation of Women's clubs.
will be taken up with renewed vigor in
the February issue, which will appear
about February Is. The recent attack
of a Chicago mail order house on
Twin Falls, has aroused a wave of in
dignation all over the state, which
will be discussed at length. and a
large number of extra copies will be
circulated over this territory. Several
pages Will be devoted to arguments in
favor of the support of home indus
tries.
In one editorial, headed "The Mail
Order Monster" the Idaho Club Wo-
man will say:
The state of Idaho has fallen into a
rare piece of good fortune this month.
An insiduous enemy that has been
winding its coils about the state has
unwittingly exposed itself to the con-
demnation of a loyal people. Every
resident of Idaho who believes in the
state should resent the attack made by
the mail order concern on the mer-
tack is made directly on Twin Falls,
1t is aimed as well at every other
town in the state and only some slight
pretext is needed to bring down the
wrath of the mail order house on your
town. There should be a storm of
protest go up that will echo and re-
echo from coast to coast.
What are you going to do about il?
Ch 60
play by offering the believers in mail
order buying a chance to defend them
selves. In another editorial, under the
caption rs There a Reason?" she
says:
Many women in the past have
bought goods by mail from Eastern
houses for what seemed good and suf-
fcient reasons. One concern in New
York clothes thirty per cent of the
women of Idaho. Will some of our
readers tell us why they buy of this
house? The home merchant would
like to know, and if you can show
where the home merchant is at fault
he will gladly seek a remedy. Our
home merchants are certainly as in
telligent as the man in New York.
Tell them their faults. The columns
of the Idaho Club Woman are open
Tor arguments for or against the mail
order house.
An additional feature of special in
terest will be the leading article,
Medical Inspection in the Schools y
by DR.. Robert l.. Nourse, of Boise. This
article covers eight pages and deals
with the subject more fully than ii
has ever been treated heretofore.
Every mother in the state should have
copy of this article for careful per-
usal.
Preparations are being made to send
out large number of extra copies of
the February issue, one concern alone
ordering 500 copies for a special list.
The magazine will be issued from the
Times press, February Is.

mail order controversy your subscrib-
ers were on, will say l am for the To-

went into the Buhl Hardware Co. S
store and asked for so carriage bolts
5-1Sx4 in. at wholesale price, and told
the merchant that if he did not have
them to spare that | would look else
where.
He haid that he wanted to sell me
the bolts and assured me that he would
make me a wholesale price, and the
purchase was made. Price $1.00. |
afterward looked for the price in
Montgomery, Wards catalogue and
found it to be 81 cents for so of the
same bolts. The weight was fb 13 o.
If the boxing would bring the weight
up the 61a TBS. this would bring the
cost Cat old rate $1.5S) up to 5 .3737
Now l would suppose that the mer-
chants can buy cheaper than this, at
least | know that | can and do not
have to send cash with order, either
nor pay exchange on sight draft, and
yet this very desirable merchant sells
for cents what should have cost him
less than 3. Now as stated above, l am
for the local merchant first, last and
always, realize what the community
owes to the local merchant, and am
willing and ready to do my share to.
ward helping the local merchant on
to prosperity, but somehow l cannot
feel but that after few deals of this
kind, that l have done enough to an.
