C. H. Turner Makes Interesting Report at
Regular Monthly Meeting of the
Commercial Club
EIGHTEEN NEW MEMBERS ION
E.. H. Plolohead Suggests Publicity Committee
Subscribe Necessary Amount for The
Potato Flake Mill

from distant points would come in to
be fed and marketed. Caldwell being
located in the greatest irrigated sec
ton of the world can easily grow all
falfa for any amount of stock. The
added business to the city could cas-
lily mean several millions
The Potato Flake Mill.
Mr.. H. A. Griffiths reported that
the banks of the city had not respond
ed very literally towards the sub
scription for the new potato flake mill
Discussion brought the matter to a
better understanding and it is prob
able that the amount will be raised
Mr.. Dorman said that fully 60 per
cent of the potatoes offered for sale
should be classed as culls. If this
were done a decidedly better market
would be found for the potatoes
which had been properly graded,
while the mill would afford a good
market for an unlimited supply of
culls. Advertisements inserted in two
papers had brought every day one or
two letters inquiring about the mill
and the chances for by-products
plant. Information has been sent out
by Secretary Gibbons TO all inquiries
The Cub Dance.
Mr.. Hasbrouck of the entertain
ment committee reported that ar
rangement had been completed
with the ladies of the Forward club
for the annual dance, which will be
held Friday, April Is, at the K. P.
hall The best music ever as well as
81 Il
be furnished, and everybody is cor
daily invited to come and have a
good time. There will be no pro-
grams so that any lady in the hall
may be regarded as perfectly legiti-
mate prey at any time, if one has the
proper persuasive talent
The Electric Sign.
The electric sign proposed for cree
ton over the Commercial club door
was found to be rather more expen-
sive when the bids of the two COM
panies were read. A committee COM
posed of Messrs. P1owhead, Gipson,
and Gowen, was appointed to nves-
tigate the most feasible manner OF
filling the need and report at the next
meeting.
Steward Lawrence Resigns.
The resignation of w. H. Law
renee as steward was read and after
some spirited discussion it was de-
cided that the matter was in the ju-
risdiction of the Board of Directors.
Mr. Plowhead made some very
good suggestions regarding the Pub
lcity committee work. He stated
that in his opinion it would be a most
excellent thing to prepare a budget
covering quite number of matters
before the committee went out on
their subscription hunt. The deficit
of the fair, the brass band. the potato
mill subscription and other matters
needed attention and could possibly
be taken care of to advantage by this
committee.
The Greenleaf- Wilder Road.
DR., Cue spoke very earnestly re-
garding the necessity of at once fix
ing up the road from Wilder and
Greenleaf. The road had been open
ed at some expense to the club and
the farmers living in the communities
named and was now nearly impass-
able. President Dorman stated that
he would at once see that the matter
received attention. The road brings
Caldwell about 5 miles nearer to the
farmers.
Some enthusiasm was displayed at
the reading of the list of new men,
bers and it is very possible that quite
a few more applications will be ready
for the next meeting. The club is
steadily climbing in membership and
under the lforceful direction of the
present administration great results
are looked for.
