PLAN TO SOLVE INCOME
PROBLEM FOR FARMERS
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL PROPOSE PLAN
TO SUPPLY FARMERS In MOUNTAIN
HOME COMMUNITY WITH COWS

President Watkins of the CONNER
cial club together with several other
members have been at work on
plan to supply the country around
Mountain Home with cows SO that
the farmers can have source of in
come from their hay crops
The plan is to have the CONNER
cial Club buy between 400 and 500
cows and sell them to the farmers
on an installment plan. The Install
ments to be paid from the proceeds
OF the sale of the milk and cream.
If a sufficient number of COWS can
be insured for this country a cream
cry can be built and the milk and
cream sold to the creamery. A GER
tain portion of the proceeds from
the sale of the milk and the cream
can be retained by the creamery to
be applied on the purchase price of
COWS and in this way the farmers
Cdu S6I Iuo COW6 dHQ lldh6 Tie pay
ments as fast as they sell milk.
Mr.. Watkins informs the Republi-
can that this matter will be taken
up at the next meeting of the club
next Thursday evening. Mr.. Wat
kins states that he has outlined the
plan to the local banks and that they
are in hearty accord with the idea
and are willing to assist in financ-
ing such a proposition.
Every member of the club and
others who may be interested should
be present at this meeting. If this
plan is launched it will mean a
steady cash income to the farmers
around Mountain Home, which will
aid materially in tiding the farmers
and business men over until the
country can be fully developed.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS
AS SOCIAL CENTER

Social centers have come to stay.
The success that has attended the ex-
periments made, especially in Wis
consin, shows that the use of school
buildings for lectures, evening classes
and recreational purposes is a great
blessing In many instances such
social eenters are Transforming the
social and other life of the commun-
ity. The moral tone of the people
is uplifted, local patriotism is devel-
oped and a more wholesome atmo-
sphere created. There is no reason
why, in both town and country,
school buildings should not be more
fully utilized. They belong to the
people and the people should use
them for the purpose for which So
cial centers have been instituted.
Especially in the country districts
would frequent use of school build
ings be of value. Fifty or more
years ago when singing schools and
spelling bees We're the fashion they
We're more used than they are now.
The revival of their use with ad-
ditionaI features suited to the present
lay would give more cheerful and
social tone to the rural life. One
school building in a township might
proftably be made the township So
cial center in which the social and
literary life of the neighborhood
could find adequate expression to

JUDGE BUDCE'S
NORTHERN TRIP
NORTHERN AND EASTERN IDA
HO GIVE CORDIAL RECEP-
TION To JUDGE BUDGE

Pocatello Tribune; In speaking of
his trip throughout the north, Judge
Budge is most enthusiastic over the
reception and cordial treatment he re.
ceived on every hand, and was assur-
ed of the warmest support in his car
didacy for the supreme bench The
papers from the north verify this
statement, and it appears that the
judge will have virtually smooth sail
ing in landing the nomination.
Il could not have heard more graf
flying expressions anywhere" said
The judge, "and while there are other
candidates in the field, and under
those circumstances the average in
diYidual is prone to be little reti-
cent in committing or expressing him
self, ii was somewhat of pleasant
surprise to me to find the great mum
Der of warm supporters | have in
The north and those expressions com
act only from men affiliated with p
ties in one way or another, but from
all sides of the fence. The situation
S amply satisfactory, | can assure
you"
Throughout eastern Idaho the same
EXPRESSION is heard. Judge Bulge is
regarded as the proper man for the
iupreme bench, and his talents, abil
ity and experience entitle him to the
lomlnati0n and once the nomination
assured there is no doubt to be ell
GRAINED regarding the election. His
success is certain and Is deserved
ribute to eastern Idaho as we'll as to
himself.

NOTICE OF NEW
RATES ON WOOL

A letter from President F. r. Good
ing of the National Wool Growers
Association, requests the Times to
emphasize the fact that the new rul-
ing raised the minimum on a stand
ard SO foot car to $4,000 lbs. sacked
wool and 32,O00lbs. if baled.
The circular accompanying the per-
sonal letter gives the reduced rates
and says:
''If a grower living on the Union
Pacific or Oregon Short Line Rail-
road wants to figure his wool rate
for this year he must start at Chey-
enne with a rate on sacked wool to
Boston of $1.35 on baled wool of
$1.15 hundred; he must add to
these rates 2 cents for every twenty
five miles that his shipping point is
west of Cheyenne.
For example, We find upon figur-
ing the mileage from Cheyenne to
Gooding, adding cents for every
twenty-five miles, the rate from
Gooding will be $1.S4 on sacked
wool, as against $213- the old rate
making saving of 29 cents hun
dred. Figuring the Is per cent off
On baled wool we find this would
give us a rate of $1.57 hundred or
a saving of Sc cents over the old
rate Wood River Times.

OUR MOUNTAIN HOME
Mrs. j. w. Hughes

In looking back and dreaming Ger
The time that's past in days of yore
When rabbits throve in sage lands wide
And rattle snakes in rocks did hide
When creeping lizards played around
In crevicer rock and rolling mound
And seemed to say to passers by:
eve own the earth, and moon, and sky"
Men seeing level plains SO near
Oft shook their heads at prospects drear;
"Too bad they sighed IS lch fertile ground
But water there is none around,
When earth and grass parched and dry
The hopeful sun shone bright on high
And seemed to say to all below
"Our Mountain Home is slre to grow"
Those years of doubt have passed away
Our Western sun still smi es each day
Not on a prairie, waste and wild
But fields of grain and meadows mild
A lovely mountain home is ours
All decked with dawns and fragrant flowers
Our fields are green climate grand
1t is the choice of all God S land.

FIRE BOARD TO WITNESS
NEW FILM INVENTION.
Declared to Be NOn-inflammable
and Compact.

A demonstration of a newly invented
non-infamnable moving-picture ma
chine will be made late this afternoon
in the room Of the fire board by the
Edison The machine Is de-
signed for home use, and besides being
economical in cost is SO compact as to
make it both novel n highly inter-
esting. The size of the picture on the
films is 3-16 by 5-S2 of an inch and
run 216 to a foot. There are three rows
of pictures on each film. The usual
size of the pictures now used run 10
to a foot. Eighty feet of the new
style films are equivalent to 1000 feet
of the regular films.
Projected on the screen the new pic
lures, though so tiny that they are
almost invisible to the naked eye, will
show a picture of 4 by 6 feet.
The light necessary to the operation
of the machine is supplied either by
the electric current in a home or by
the use Of a~cetylene gas.
The entire machine will weigh about
10 pounds.
The purpose of the demonstration
this afternoon, which will be under the
direct supervision of John w. Farrell,
head of the moving-picture department
of the Edison company, is to show the
saretE-of the films. One of the Off
Gals in the fire board declared that
even though the films caught fire the
roll is so compact that a handkerchief
can stife the flames.

5 HIGHEST OFFICES IN CITY
VAINLY SEEK CANDIDATES,

NYACK, N. Y, March S.-The five
highest elective offices in this town are
vacant and no one can be found to
accept a nomination. Republican and
Democratic caucuses were held this
week, each nominating for president
and trustees the same men, all accept
able to both political organizations and
the voters generally. The five nomi-
nees absolutely decline to stand as
candidates n the two committees to
fill vacancies are unable to induce any
body to accept the offices.
This unusual condition perhaps has
never happened before in this country
The reason is that the previous acts OF
the board of trustees resulted unsatis-
factorily to many taxpayers and
brought criticism upon individual mem
bers.
