Idaho is a big and growing state 6
md its citizenship must feel proud
# its wealth and Importance. I feel :
hat loyalty to state comes largely
through kindred interest of people in
oyalty to their fraternal organiza-
ions. No organization or body in
he state is more devoted to the high
r ideals of life than is the Eastern n
tar. l believe that Idaho people r
hould get in closer touch with each r.
ther, to know the beauties and a
yealth of each respective district. I,
Vhat we need most is a north and IT

lie the quick and easy communication
