Art Exhibition a Big Success
Work of Idaho Artists Proves Loyalty of Onr People for
Home Talent and Elicits the Commendaton of Wis
itors for the Splendid Paintings Placed on View

The Art Exhibit shown last week by
the Social Sciences Circle, was really
notable event in Richfield. There were
about 80 pictures, few of them being
water colors and the rest being oil
paintings, by the members of the Wo-
mems Art League of New York. These
pictures are sent out under the aus
pices of the State Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs, and are loaned to this or
anization. Some quite valuable canvas
es were shown; one being valued at six
hundred dollars, several at five hundred.
and others at lower sums. Hundredc of
people visited the gallery where the ex-
hibit was shown; few indeed came only
once-many of the visitors were there
three or four times
Without disparaging the quality Of
New York art, it is fair to say that
Idaho was loyal to the "Home Products
Week" idea, and that the visitors
gave most liberal praise to the work

DRINKING MEN BARRED
Another Company Joins Army
of PrOhibitionists

There is promised rough shedding for
the drinking man in the future in all
avenues of human endeavor. This SEN
timent is rapidly chrystalizing here in
Idaho, as it is taking definite form
along pronounced lines in the Eastern
states. AS an instance of this awak-
ened sentiment, the United Natural
Gas company. of Franklin, Pa, last
Saturday, declared that everywhere
the use of intoxicating liquors is being
regarded with increasing disfavor. I"
And after stating this well known fact,
the company announces that ''hereaf-
ter promotions will be made from the
ranks of the non-drinkers, and contin-
uance of the drinking habit by employ
ees will be cause for dismissal The
company, in its circular, says further:
''The drinking habit, as we all know,
greatly reduces a mans efficiency and
makes him unreliable.

JONES BUYS THE GAZETTE
Hews DispOses of His Glenns

The sale of the Glenns Ferry Gazette
to Judge H. B. Jones by W. U. Hews,
was effected Monday. 1t is with pleas
ure that the Recorder welcomes the
genial judge back into the ranks Of Ida

signs were unmistakeable that Judge
Jones was about to return to the tripod,
and Mondays transaction clinches this
surmise Once the aroma of printers
ink takes firm hold on its victim that
mans fate is sealed. We predict sue
cess for the ex-judge in the field of his
former triumphs and look for material
improvement in not only the typogra-
phical appearance of the Gazette, but
also in the character and volume of the
news furnished the readers of that
newspaper. The judge will resign his
position as probate judge of Lincoln
County and take immediate control of

ENTERTAINMENT BUREAU
Movement to Secure Htgh-C1ass
Amusements for Richfield

A Mrs. Lindsay, representing An En-
tertainment Bureau, was in Richfleld on
Monday. She is selling course of en-
tertainments that is, without question,
very fine. Some of the Circle members
got together as it was impossible to
have all the members at the meeting,
and made out a conditional contract.
The condition is that the Circle or some
other organization take it up and sell
enough course tickets to pay for the
entertainments.
The agreement if made is to pay, for
four evenings entertainment, $3.50 and
one half the single admissions. The
Circle would not undertake it as mon
ey-making scheme. But some of the
members felt that the inspiration and
up lift whuld be worth a great deal of
work, which the selling of tickets etc.
would mean.
Two evenings would be occupied by
talented men entertainers, the third a
male quartette, and the fourth mixed
quartette playing various instruments.
All promise to be high class amuse-
ments and should be appreciated by all.

Farmer and Consume
BY MATTHEW s. DUDeEoN.

| ing letter he read this paragraph: Il
think we are fortunate indeed, in view
of all the circumstances, to find that
no liability stands against us. II you
will send us your draft for $50 this
will close the account and no further
liability will attach to you" Finally
1t soaked in that the result of the en-
tire year was loss of $50
But he possessed himself in pa
tience and thought it all over. From
Inquiry he learned that while retail
prices were good, the peaches had
passed through the hands Of six to
eight persons each Of whom had taken
out profit. No one person had robbed
him. No one had been dishonest. No
one had made excessive profits. Each
one had simply looked out for himself.
The farmer had been fool enough not
to do the same thing.
The next year at the opening of the
season the grower went to the Denver
retailer who had handled his product.
He was glad to find that his peaches
of the previous season had arrived In
good shape, had been readily sold, and
had brought good price. The dealer
said he would be glad indeed to han
die his peaches again If possible. Then
the grower demonstrated with pencil
and paper that the grower by selling
directly to the retailer would double
his own return, double the retailers
profit and still leave ample margin for
all expenses intervening. The retailer
gave respectful hearing but slowly
shook his head Nothing doing,F he
said. IF l buy my peaches directly
from you the wholesalers will suggest
that l buy my pineapples and bananas
Of you too tried 1t once. 1t did not
take them long to get wise. l was In

business In the only possible way
Inquiries of retailers In other parts
Of the city brought the same answer.
It was absolutely impossible for the
grower to market bis fruit In the city.

BOOZE the cause OF Cne DOWu-
fall of Good Men
II was reading the other day of the
passing of 'Rube Waddell-only 81 and
gone. He was one of the brightest and
brainiest men in baseball, but he could
MT beat the booze game. The 'Rube,
Matty, Plank and Bugs Raymond start
ed in baseball at the same time. All
were pitchers. Two started on the
wrong road and two on the right road.
Two are dead, Bugs and 'Rubs. ;
Matty is as good as ever, the king in his
line, and when he gets so he can't put
anything on the ball he'll go to work
training young pitchers at dazzling
salary. Plank, grand old man, is get
ting along, but he can pitch a great
game. He and Matty are honored by
men in every walk of life because they
followed the right path. 'Rube' and
Bugs are dead. Does it pay?"- Billy

Berlin, Germany.-Here In Germany
the farmer successfully sells his prod
uct direct to the city retailer while in
America it Is almost impossible for the
farmer to get into the city. In fact
American cities are practically quaran-
tined against the farmer so far as
selling direct Is concerned.
"The farmer who tries to sell his
product in the city is up against 1t,
said the president of New York cor
poration. At the suggestion Of one of
our officers we last year raised a
small lot of very fine potatoes on some
Of our vacant lands. We thought we
were business men but selling those
potatoes was too much for us. We
found that the retailers had contracts
with jobbers for their years supply.
The jobbers and wholesalers were
shipping in their potatoes in carload
lots and they did not care for the few
bushels we had. Even the hotels had
either bargained for their years sup
ply or would not make contract with
anyone who could not furnish all that
they might need during the year
I'm fact no one in the whole city
wanted our potatoes. We were COM
PEELED to practically give them away.
1t opened our eyes. We know now
what the farmer is up against in the
city markets when he has anything to
sell. The farmer can no longer sell
a product without going from house
to house ss 3 peddler. As business is
now conducted his situation is hope
less. 1t seems to me that it is cooper
ative marketing or nothing for the far
mer."
Colorado Peach Grower Has Trouble.
Nowhere on earth do they raise bet

grower marketed 10000 boxes of fine
peaches In the usual way expecting

his wife and children who had helped
with the work might enjoy it with

of the Idaho artists who showed some
Of their paintings. Mrs. Wilcox, of
Richfeld, had ten paintings on exhibit
tion as an added attraction; and it is
safe tn say that she received fully one
third of the first choices out of the en-
tire collection, with some of her beau
tiful paintings. George Schroeder, the
Idaho painter, a resident of Hepburn
but just now studying art in Italy, had
seven paintings, from which at least
one third of the other first thoices
would have been drawn. His land
scapes, of the big things of the West,
have live quality that so many of the
technical studies of the conventional
artists failed to catch.
The Club served Home Products
lunch the three afternoons of the ex-
hibit, and took in a liberal sum, as well
as giving pleasure to many visitors.
The exhibit was held in the middle
room of the Recorder block, and the
lunch was served in the Rest Room.

Mrs. Fletcher starts Thursday morn
ing for the 'far east" She is taking
the three youngest children, leaving
Carleton to be company for his father.
She expects to be gone all summer.
The first stop will be with relatives in
Boston, then on to Portland Maine. Mrs.
Fletcher had large farm left to her,
fine place with thirteen-roomed
house. This is near Blanchard, Maine.
Her plans are not very definite as yet,
but she thinks she may live on this
farm this summer. No crop has been
put in for three years and Mrs. Fletcher
thinks the land should be farmed. Her
friends wish her pleasant journey and

NUMBERS ARE LAID OFF
The Oregon Short Line Cutting
Down Train Crews

The spirit of retrenchment has evi-
IDENTIFY taken a firm grip on the railroads
of the country, if the order issued We'd
nesday is an indication of the policy to
be pursued in the future. BY this
sweeping order, no less than 250 engi-
neers and firemen were laid off at Poca-
tello on the above date. On the Hill
City branch the ak has fallen on one
brakeman in the crew now employed on
that line. The same order applies, also,
to the HALEY branch. and that the end
is not yet, is attested by the fact that
many of the station employees are pre-
pairing for anything that may come.

these rabbits were driven to the low
lands for food. These varmints are
unlike their long-eared cousins of the
plains, in that they sre almost snow
white and are possessed OF the ability
to travel safely over the soft snow be-
cause of the fact that they use half OF
their hind legs while in motion, thus dis
tributing their weight over a wider

KEEP THE LINES CLEAR.

The republican party has whipped
the progressives in the field. WIFI 1T
yield to them in negotiations? Will
the boilers now going back to the e..
O. p. fold be permitted to dictate the
policy of the old party
Such an outcome does not seem
likely, with men like Cannon and
Penrose back in the saddle, but 1t is
possible. If it occurs, it will confuse
issues, befuddle voters and prOlOng
the epoch of uncertainty through
which the country is passing.
At the beginning of our national
history, two men stood forth as types
of two opposing schools of political
thought. Jefferson founded the dem
ocratic party, with it's individualism,
it's adherence to local self govern
ment, it's insistence on personal free
dom. Hamilton founded the party
which under various names-federal-
list, whig, republican-remains today
the champion of centralized govern
ment which inter1eres constantly IN
local and personal affairs.
Everything worth while in our his
tory has been done by one of these
two parties. Ninety-nine per cent
OF American political thought is
aligned with one or the other of these
great organizations. Other parties
stand for protests, for dreams, for
personal grouches, but these two
stand for principles and can point
to definite achievements. Now one
and now the other has met more per-
fectly the needs of the country, but
there never has been a moment when
either could be spared without bitter
national loss.
1t is to be hoped the republican
party will remain republican. To cross
the elephant with the bull moose
would produce hybrid that not even
the long suffering American elector-
ate could endure.-Chicago Journal.

SAVED BY WILSON.

The havoc wrought by the republic
cans of many states in the democratic
representation in congress was very
great. A majority in the houe of
about 145 has been reduced to mar
gin large enough for all practical
purposes but so narrow as to compel
the most serious reflection.
Important as were the accomplish
ments of the sixty-third congress, 1t
is plain now that, but for Woodrow
Wilson, democratic control would
have been completely obliterated.
Only one appeal in the interest OF that
party was needed and that was in be-
half of the president himself. He
asked support, and by am intelligent
independent vote in many places 1t
has been given to him, but in mea-
sure that can excuse no self-decep-
ton on the part of anybody.
on years as rule give little en-
couragement to our national admins
trations. The vote is usually light.
There are disappointments and re-
venges. If, IS in this case, a sweep
ing Legislative program has been car
ried out, there are resentments Dy
interests disturbed or menaced.
When to these customary causes of
dissatisfaction we add hard times in
many districts and industries, partly
as the result of readjustments to
meet new economic conditions and
largely the outgrowth of calamitous
war, it must be admitted that the
stage was we'll set for political
revolution.
There has boon no political revo-
