popularity right along. The New

this increase is crdeited largely to

SOWING SEED
On THIS GOOD
GROUND
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS TO BE
FORMED IN SH0SHONE
SCHOOLS

One of the really helpful UNDER
takings of The Idaho state Uniyer-
Sity, in connection with its agricul-
tural department, is The formation
of Boys and Girls Clubs in the
public schools Of the State. This
work has been entrusted to ]. A.
Hughes, practical school man,
formerly a public school teacher Of
Canyon County.
MIR. Hughes, who is now making
d tour Of the Lincoln County
schools with Superintendent Stel-
la Cook, was al Shoshone Tuesday
night to lecture about the work in
which he is engaged. There was
a good attendance Of The rising
generation as We'll as their parents
and other groWn-1ps all Of whom
We're interested in what the
speaker had to say.
The movement, which is now
National in its scope, had its begin
ming at Columbia, South Carolina,
where potato, corn, sewing and
cooking clubs were started about
ten years ago under adverse cir
eumstances, but they have been
attended with the greatest success
and benefit. In some localities
the output of the canning clubs,
such as tomatoes, are gener-
ally bought UP by leading hotels,
because Of the superiority Of the
tomatoes and the cleanliness with
which they are canned and handled.
The speaker told Of the usce eess-
ful efforts of one boy in that part
of the country at growing corn in
competition with the whole cOun-
try and on land that for sterility
was famous before he took hold of
it. From one acre of the poor land
he had produced 255 bushels of the
grain. This crop in turn, because
of its excellence, was sold for $40
per bushel for seed purposes.
Mr.. Hughes told of the honor
that had come to Lincoln County
last year from the awarding of the
potato prize to a Lincoln County
boy, a member of a potato club at
Jerome. He said he wanted to see
many of such clubs, and corn
clubs and sewing clubs and cook
ing clubs besides, formed in the
County this year.
The greatest enthusiasm was
manifest in the meeting. Mr..
who has none of the high
pitched eloquence of the ordinary
public speaker. but an intensely
style nevertheless, held
the closest attention of his hear
ers for an hour and a half. As
the direct result of his talk it
was stated that there would be
formed at least half a dozen OF the
clubs among thepupils of the Sho-
shone schools. His talk was re-
garded by all his hearers as seed
sown ON good ground.
Every vacant lot in town is like
" TO become a cultivated garden
spot as the direct result and at an
Early date too.

SALOON PETITION
IS SENT AROUND
ASKING FOR RESUBMISSI0N OF
LIQUOR QUESTION IN
LINCOLN COUNTY

A petition in the interest of the
resubmission of the Local Option
liquor question was started in Sho-
shone Tuesday morning. 1t was
stated that the same petition was
sent on the rounds all over Lin
coin County at the same time. For
ty per cent of the voters of the
County will be required to secure
the call for another election.
Frank Wilmington has charge of
the Shoshone petition,
The petition has been numerously
signed, in some cases by avOwed
temperance people, who say that
the enforcement of prohibition in
Shoshone is farcial in effect, there
being only one other town in Idaho
where the same conditions prevail.
Pocatello is said to be Shoshone s
only rival and III that town lately
scores of arrests have been made
for liquor law violations.
Persons who have declined to
sign the petition state that similar
treatment awaits the SheshOne boot
leggers. Those who stand for law
and order are emphatic in denounc-
ing the open and shameless viola
tion OF the law here as Is shown
by numerous evidences of intoxica-
tion.
Two wrongs, they say, never
make a right, and while condemn
ing this illicit sale in the strongest
terms. they are not ready TO set
up an open saloon at every turn in
town which might come with the
repeal of the present law. This,
they contend. could never be coun-
tenaneed for a moment. and for
this reason they balk at the heavy
expense of the election. which
would amount TO a dollar a piece
by every citizen Of the county.

F|REMEN SENT TO
WRONG LOCATION
so THAT BAD BLAZE IN HOUSE
OF MRS. AL EVANS GOT
HEADWAY

The dwelling belonging to Mrs.
Carrie L. Hughes, Shoshone mil
liner, was partly destroyed by fire
Yesterday at noon. She recently
purchased the property from the
Horton estate. 1t is located IN the
southeastern part Of town. Mrs.
All Evans occupied the dwelling
The damage amour'ed 10 one
thousand dollars or more, besides
the loss c1i the furniture.
Insurance on the property was
written by J. L. Fuller.
1t was stated the loss would have
been very small but for the fact
that the firemen, who responded
promptly al the alarm, were mis-
directed and sent to Knob Hill to
the ID. l.. Hughes residence there
so as to lose at least fifteen min
;ltes of valuable time in getting to
the right place.
f. H. Merrifield, one of the fire
men handling the hose, wbs badly
burned about the head and face
having lost his hat. The suffering
fireman, without moments hesl-
tation. pulled down over his head
a borrowed cap and rushed into tht
house again. George Campbell was
burned. his oyercOat showing the
effects in a number Of holes.
The furniture in the dwelling
was partly insured, but the buildin
was not.
Mrs. Evans was not at home at
the time of the fire, having been
called to Boise.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. lj..-.FollOwing
his report that the road has default
ed in payments of $4,000, 900 bonds
aud interest, Judge r. T. FaluntIe-
roy, special master in the Wabash
receivership. said that in his Opin-
ion. the railway will be sold In Its
entirety within 80 days.
Fauntlcroy stated his reporh would
be on file subject to any exceptions
of those Interested for 90 days. The
exceptions, If any were filed, would
be subject to the consideration Of
Judge Elmer b. Adams. If no ex-
ception Is taken to the conclusions
in his report, Fauntelroy said he
thought It likely the road would be
ordered sold at public auction to sat
isry the claims Of the Equitable
Trust Company.
One Of the receivers for the COM
pany said he believed the best inter
estS would be served through the
sale OF the property entire, but he

Euen DiDision
,l;ontinuod from PAGE One,

probable that before the actual work
OF the committeeman begins tomor-
row there will be three divisions OF
opinions. In the first will be found
the national committeeman who IA
vor the calling Of convention I'M
mcdiately, In the second will be
those who are opposed to any con-
vention at all and in the third will
be others who are willing to have
have national convention but who
do not see any pressing need for It..
The first and third groups are ex-
pected to join against the second and
the odds are said to be in favor of a
convention. According to prcdic-
tions of Chairman Hilles the conven-
ton probably will thresh out its diff
fcrcnccs in open session and the adj
vocates OF all proposals will have an
opportunity to give their arguments
in. public. In addition to the mem
bcrs of the committee who expect to
speak, Ormsby McHarc has asked for
hearing. MIR. SrcHarg is under
stood to have prepared "a brief
against the right Of the national
committee to call an extraordinary
convention. Chairman Hilles said to-
day that he was not attempting to
use the power of his position for
either contention and holds to the
view that It is u question to be set
tied by majority of the committee.
