Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1912-03-21

anticipation in which many hour
of work have been invested, the biz
event has come to stay. The pur
pose of the convention was to brini
to a focus the outlining of methods
of work based on the needs of thu
community and the best methods fol
meeting them.
Care has been untitled to avoiC
a mere stirring up of the attention
and emotions of men and permit
the inspiration to effervesce and
/ leave the community as needy as
/ before. Plans have been laid fol
the capitalization of the vision in
/ to definite organization and activity
! The original Committee of Thir
ty" is to be superseded by a perma
nent inter-church council with rep
resentatives on each of the sever
al committees from the participating
churches.
What may ultimately result from
this systematic, simple, and broad
minded method of handling the bus
mess and mission of the church can
not be foretold. Already activity
has been stimulated and the church
es are becoming more efficient. II
is proposed to have every man in
the church a worker, a specialist
in some degree, in one or another
of the five great lines of special
and persistent effort-Bible Study,
Missions, Boys Work, Evangelism
and Social Service.
The Payette Convention of Sun
day, while not being carried out full
ly according to plans, was produc
tive of an abundance of good and
may truly be termed a success.
On Saturday night a group o
25 or 80 men gathered in the new
ly finished banquet room of the
Y. NJ. C. A. for fellowship, Supper
and Conference together for the work
of the following day and days.
The Sunday program really open
ed with a meeting in the Associa'
ton building at $3.50 for prayer and
meditation.
Big congregations of women at
the Baptist church and of men at
the NJ. E. church assembled for the
messages of the morning.
To the men, Mr.. I. B. Rhodes de-
livered a splendid and timely mes
sage on THE Program of Chris
tian," setting forth clearly the call
for purity, honesty, unselfishness
and service in all the walks of life.
He delivered a second address to
boys on AN Old Warrior" at 2:3O
in the Association building.
A powerful message was at the
same hour given to large audience
of adults by Judge Dunbar of Boise
on the extensive and lamentable
moral conditions of our towns and
cities. Mr.. Haynes who presided at
the session plead for a reformation
in some lines for which the parents
of Payette are primarily responsible.
A summary of recommendations
was made in a united institute fol-
lowing the individual institute at
about 3 o'clock.
Rev. Fyke delivered beautiful ad-
dress to the young people in the

The closing session, following the
two evening mass meetings brought
forth expressions of gratitude and
hopefulness from local men and ad-

Of Interest to Fruit Growers.

Il have your letter regarding my
experience with the Grasselli Lead
and in reply beg to say that l have
used this Lead for the past three
years With the most satisfactory re-
suits, having had less than two per
cent loss from worms during that
lime. l find that this Lead mixes
very easily and remains in suspen-
sion longer than any Lead l have
ever used"
Yours very truly,
(SIGNED) C. H. Conkey, Pres.
La Grande Fruit Association.
Answering your enquiry regard
ing our experience in the handling
of the Grasselli Arsenate of Lead.
We handled a car of your product
last season and must say it gave
the greatest satisfaction. Although
we had an exceptionally hard year
to give it a fair test, owing to the
very short crop and the fact that
many of the growers did not spray
at all, we have yet to hear of a
single complaint.
Where a number of growers gave
their orchards a thorough spraying
the percentage of worms ran one
per cent or less. The growers are
highly pleased with it owing to
the fact that it mixes very easily
and stays in suspension without
much agitation and also adheres
very closely to the foliage.
We certainly would have no hest
fancy in recommending the Gras-
SELF to anyone who desires a good,
safe article"

The probate court Is following out
its program Of cleaning the minors off

cases have already been docketed that
will probably be heard Monday after
noon.

Dunbar's comment yesterday after
noon when he entered the cases on
his records. The police officers Of the
city have fallen in line with the
courts plan and have turned over the
names of children who have been
found on the streets after curfew
without some adult person. Judge
Dunbar believes that this is one OF
the most important duties Of his court
and he has started out to clean the
streets of every minor child who Is
not with some older person respon-
sible for his or her care.
Tomorrow afternoon the children
will be brought into court with their
parents and will have to give a paus-

 England and Scotland are in the same degree of latitude with south eru Alaska, but nobody hears of London or Edinburgh being called the far north" The Scandinavian peninsula is the European proto- type of central Alaska, yet stock holm and Copenhagen flourish in agriculture and beautiful homes with a climate even more severe than that of Alaska, and they are never designated as the land oi dog teams, liquid air and ice cream fIeezers.

Alaskaus are getting mighty tired Of this "tar north" talk mdulged in by newspapers oC the states. If a cog slips anywhere in Alaska, it is immediately referred to as a terri bIe calamity in the far north. Skagway is about a thousand miles northwest oI Seattle; Eetchikan is about six hundred miles from the Spirit City, but an event happening six hundred miles south of Seattle Is not referred to as the far south, 70 nor is Montana referred to as the far east," yet the reference would be as ridiculous in one instance as the other.

RULES AGAINST
LOCAL MEASURES
Attorney General Norwood Gives
Opinion Against Initiation OF
Laws That Are Contrary TO
General Laws OF State.

Little Rock, May 3.--The ruling
of Attorney General Norwood, af-
fecting the operation of the initi-
alive in local legislation, will result
in greatly restricting the original
notion which many had regarding
the application of the initiative
principle in Arkansas.
He holds that no local law which
conflicts with state law or with a
principle established by legislative
enactment can be initiated by To-
eaIity. This not only knocks out
Sunday baseball, horse-racing and
the like. but gets many PROPOSE
tons that had been considered as
perfectly proper under the new
amendment to the constitution.
For instance, many believed that
a county would have perfect
right TO initiate a salary bill for its
county officers, since this did not
affect anybody outside of the coun-
ty. but the attorney general holds
that. since the county salaries
have been fixed by legislative en-
actment, they are state laws, in the
sense intended in the !. and r..
amendment. and hence to allow a
county to fix the salaries Of its Of
iicers independent of the legisla-
ture would be TO allow a conflict
with a state law. The same is true
as to providing a new duty for a
county officer.
The citizens Of a south Arkansas
county wanted to make their coun-
ty Judge ex-Ofllcio county road and
bridge commissioner, and sent up
petitions for an election ON this
matter. But the attorney general
holds that this would be illegal, and

MONSTER PARADE
Ten Thousand March Through New

for WOmen's Votes-B Biz
Crowd Looks on in Silence.

New York, May 1.-The promise
of women suffrage leaders to
eclipse all previous demonstrations
here for their cause was fulfilled
today when about 10000 persons
paraded up Fifth avenue under
suffrage banners. Hundreds of
thousands Of persons looked on
from windows and balconies along
the avenue. and the sidewalks were
so damned along the entire route
that the police were unable to keep
the spectators within bounds.
There was no disorder, however.
There was neither much applause
nor any ieering as the marching
throngS passed.
There were women. men and
children in the ranks. Almost ey-
cry profession and industry in
which women are engaged, from
educational leadership to laundry
work, was represented by a delega-
ton under appropriate banners. A
squad Of mounted police led the
parade, but vying with this eques-
trian show there followed nearly
a hundred women on horseback,
most OF them riding aslride

The parade was under command
of Mrs. Harriet stanton Batch.

had been engaging the suffrage
headers here for months, were car
rIed out to the letter and so deter
mined were the women upon
