Baptist Church Notes
Precinct Committeema

Sunday School will convene in
the morning at 10 o'clock and i'm
mediately after preaching service,
subject, Stewardship" In the
evening the subjec twill be WAS
Your Father Monkey?" 1t is
anticipated that every man and wo-
man who has any doubt of his or
her ancestry will be present. The
subject is prompted by volumn
of higher criticism just received.
AT the prayer meeting on We'd
nesday evening the resignation of
Mrs. Z. G. Merrifield was accepted
as superintendent of the S. S. after
it had been turned down repeated
ly by the church, but owing to Ill
health Mrs. Merrifield had to fin
ally insist on its acceptance much
to the regret of the membership.
She was one of the ideal superin-
tendents of the city. In her stead
J. d. marlborough was elected. He
is one of the very active workers
of the school and great antieipa-
tions are being entertained for
his administration
Al Three o'clock on Sunday after
noon there will be a mems meeting
in the church led by Professor
Weaver. These afternoon meetings
are of the greatest value to the
men attending and it is the earnest
desire of the leader and members
that there be a large attendance
from the other churches.
Sunday morning will be the last
for the members TO
contribute to the Missionary Bud
get, which closes the last day OF
this month. Let every man give
according as God has blessed him.

Aaaie Stuttz Makes Good.

The Stuttz Theatrical company
made a three night stand at the
opera house commencing Monday
night. Their acting was good, be-
ing somewhat out of the ordinary
in that they used the natural form
of acting, talking directly to each
other leaving the audience to see
the picture, rather than talking to
The audience altogether. The lead
ing lady, Maggie Stuttz, is an artist
in her line, accomplished and
pretty, and she was well supported.
The house was poorly filled each
night but those who attended felt
they had received their moneys
worth.

Minimum Wage VIII be Secured.

The English government has de-
cided to take action to bring about
settlement of the coal strike in
that country involving as it does
over a million men. Premier As
quith insists that the mine owners
must recognize the principle OF a
minimum wage for the workers un-
der ground and threatens to un-
dertake government operation of
the mines if the owners will not
accede to reasonable terms with
their men. The time is now past
when capital can dictate to labor
the terms on which they can work.
The public is the chief sufferer
from strikes and lock-outs and it
behooves society to protect itself
from the rapacity of the lordly
rich even if government ownership
is the club used to frighten capital
into being good.

lrct Will enter this contest. The
plan concerning the prize winners
is the same as in the potato club.
The first prize winner from each
county will be brought to the state
fair, where they Will receive q
weeks instruction in some phase
OF domestic science. Everything
will be done for the comfort and
welfare of these boys and girls
turing the week. They will be
cared for by competent men and
women.
Much enthusiasm is shown not
only by the boys and girls, but also
by the trustees and teachers. This
undertaking is looked upon by all
as a move in the right direction.
The boys and girls agricultural
clubs that have been carried on
iOr many years in other states
have been a power in developing
scientific agriculture. The move
ment now on foot in Idaho is be-
lieyed by many to be the begin
ming Of a wider and more useful
life.
1t is the earnest hope of the
state superintendent that parens,
trustees, and teachers viii lend
their Influence to make this con-
test a success; that districts and
county officials will offer sufficient
local prizes to give the contest
keenef zest. Idaho made a record
on Potato Day last year at the Chi
cago Land Show, but if this move
ment is a success she will farsur-
pass that record.

PRIMARY ELECTION
FOR THIS PRECINCT
REPUBLICANS ASKED TO En-
PRESS CHOICE BETWEEN
TAFT AND ROOSEVELT

Republican voters face the fact
that the great question, Teddy or
Bill, is big one that they will
have to settle and no matter which
way it is decided there will be lots
OF disappointed followers of the
other man.
The Republican County con-
vention to elect delegates to the
State convention is to be held at
Rupert the 22d of this month. Sho-
shone precinct is entitled to eleven
delegates at this convention and
how to decide whether these dele
gates shall favor Taft or Roosevelt
Is to be decided
Precinct Committeeman, A. |. Nc
MahOn has talked the matter over
with prominent Republicans and
most of them favor the plan of let
ting the voters express their pref
erence at the ballot box so a pre-
cinct primary has been called, no
tice of which follows, for Saturday,
the 10th, for the purpose Of elect
ing delegates to the County conven-
tiOn.
The idea is to have two sets of
delegates placed on nomination, one
set Taft men and one Roosevelt
and then the voters can say which
set they prefer. American people
like a square deal and the primary
election gives them such a deal.
Come out and vote week from
tomorrow and express your choice.
No person who neglects to vote
when he has the opportunity can
have any kick coming if the cleo
tion does not go to suit him.

WILL ENCOURAGE THE YOUNG
STEERS TO GROW SPUDS

The Idaho State Department OF
Public Instruction has been work
ing to encourage vocational work,
in the rural schools Of the state.
At last, with the aid of the Agri-
cultural College, a scheme was de-
vised which is meeting with hearty
approval and support throughout
the state. 1t has been decided to
have potato clubs throughout the
state-it is hoped in every district
of the state. The boys and girls
forming these clubs are to raise
500 hills of potatoes; the prize win
ming potatoes i'll each district to be
sent to the county fair; the first
four prize winners to be sent to
the state fair for the sweep stakes
prize.
Professor Olin, director of the
extension department of the Agri-
cultural College, has been working
on bulletin, giving full directions
as to the formation of the clubs

cultivation Of tie plant, and the
care of the crop is bulletin viii

The Board of State Fair Direct
ors has most heartily endorsed the
plan and are enthusiastic concern

girls will be placed. They will
bring the first prize winner of
each county to the state fair,
where they will receive instruction

SCHOOL TO
MEET 4IRzAAlHE,l-WlAY

Railway high school has been booked
to oppose the high school baseball team
for its first home game on the Copper
Works field Wednesday. April 10. The
team may also play this Saturday at
Atlantic Highlands but arrangements
have not yet been completed for this
game. Manager Dave Wilentz, of the
local squad, offered his schedule to the
school authorities and it was accepted.
The schedule this season differs from
the one compiled last season in many
ways. Plainfeld high schools has been
omitted from the list Of games on &C
count of the inconyenient travelling.
Red Bank high school has also been
left out but Manager Wilentz believes
hat Red Bank may yet be booked.
Neptune high school, Of Ocean Grove,
has been booked for two games this
season, although none were played with
this team last year. In fact, the boys
from Ocean Grove haven't played a
crimson and white team in many sea-
sons.
While the schedule is crowded in
April, there is but one game booked for
June, although the class series viii
probably be taking up most of the time
then. If the inter-class series is finish
ed before that time, a few more games
be booked.

Spotswood, April 3:--Several
practices have been held by the base
ball candidates who are interested
In promoting a first class, amateur
nine here this summer, and, if ma
terial can be considered q guide,
it is safe to predict that Spotswood
will ecove from its slump of last
season and boast Of a nine of the
ealibre displayed by the Elm A. A.
in the summer of 1910. Many of
the players who took part in that
year, and again last season, are in a
position to make a strenuous try for
the team, and, naturally, much en-
thusiasm has already developed.
The all-important question of a
first class battery is again up for To-
cal discussion, but Is expected to be
placed on the shelf for all time by
definite action in the near future.
Arrangements are now under way
towards securing a pitcher and
catcher of promise, and well known
in amateur circles throughout the
county, and 1t is expected they will
prove to be a valuable asset to the
team. The players have not as yet
held an election of officers, but will
do so shortly. In the meanwhile, F.
w. De Voc will act as booking man
ager and arrange a schedule. Chal-
lenges should be addressed to him at
Spotswood.

The senator's who Joined in the re-
