 Cent. April 9th

On April 9th another 10 per cent. of the amount of money they have on de- posit will be allowed the depositors of the Windham County Savings bank. as arranged by Judge Marcus H. Hol- comb prior to the resumption of busi- ness by the bank on Oct. 6 last. This will make the third of the 10 per cent. allowances, a total of 30 per cent. in six months. Only comparatively small number of depositors have avail ed themselves of the privilege of with drawing from their accounts only such funds as they have needed. The re- cent dividend announcement has fur ther strengthened the position of the bank with it's depositors.

ANOTHER FIRE
Esat's Shop Gutted By Flames. Loss
 S5.000
ruoIoyes Jumped from Windows and
 Doors

The wood working shop of c. M. < FR Kent was gutted by fire We'd nosdav afternoon causing loss of .bout 5000 partially covered by in- s,rance. The fire started in the base ,,ent but it's origin is unknown. There ,.os m fire in the building at the time.
 The fire was discovered by Judge J. Harry Mann who was on his way from bis home to his office. He saw smoke coming out of the basement and think ing something was wrong stepped in end gave the warning. It was found m investigation that the basement WAS ablaze. The alarm rang just after the clock had struck two. The hose wagons were run down by hand as the distance is short and it is all down orsde. The firemen soon had two lines of hose laid but when an attempt was made to start the water from the hyd- rant across the street something went wrong and it wouldn't come. It seemed fifteen minutes but was prob ably not over four For five before the first stream was started through the hose. Every second was valuable however as the two.story old wooden structure was full of shavingsand wood and burned like powder. Volumes of dense black smoke were pouring out of the interior and it looked as if the whole building was doomed within a few minutes. When the finally came the men again demonstrated their ability as fire fighters and man. aged to save enough of the structure so that the floors did not fall in in which event the machinery would have been much more damaged.
 Besides the city's lines of hose the woolen mill hose was used and the fire was drowned out. Part of the roof on each side was burned ana the structure is wreck.
 MT. Kent said that there was no fire in the building. It was suggested that an overheated bearing might have made spark or that some one threw down a lighted match. The employees did not see or smell smoke and knew nothing of the fire until Judge Mann gave warning. Some of the men on the second story had to jump out of a door and others from window but the distance to the ground is short. Waller Wheaton, fireman, was partial ly overcome by smoke but quickly re- vived
 Putnam has had a series of serious fires within the past few weeks. There are many more wooden structures in the business section and sooner or later they are bound to go. Several times fires have been averted only because discovered in time. It would seem that some restriction should be made in rebuilding and that the erection of wooden buildings in the business sec- ton of the city should be forbidden. As long AS there are wooden structures in a thickly settled business section of city there will continue to be disastrous fires.

BOOST FOR GREEN.

Caldwell people certainly appreci-
ate high class talent as indicated by
the interest taken in getting DR.. Green
for another date for Caldwell. The
committee having the matter in charge
report splendid progress and if those
whom the committee have not seen or
who have not decided will notify the
committee at once how many tickets
they could use the matter can be def
initely decided. Besides DR.. Green
there are three other excellent num-
bers on the course. Judge Russell, a
lecturer, The Magic Trio, and an
other musical number by Prof, Beale
and others. This entire course with a
reserve seat thrown in at dollar for
the season ticket is the best course for
the money by far, than has ever been
offered in Caldwell. DR.. Green's lee
ture alone is worth the price Of all
and will cost 81, if you go to Boise
to hear him the previous evening.
If you appreciate a good thing and
believe Caldwell is entitled to the best,
phone to o. V. Bradley now and tell
him how many tickets you can use.
The first number will be during hol-
idays, one in January, one in tebru-
airy and the other in March and will
be given in the Methodist church. Do
it now!

GIVE ELECTRICITY A CHANCE

Good authorities hold that there
were never more than 100000 Indians
in the territory now included in the
United States. 1t is probable the num-
Der never exceeded 100000, the present
population of Idaho.
But in spite of their wonderful heri-
tage many of the Indians suffered
from lack of food. Hunger and star
vatlon were not uncommon among
them, because of their crude methods
of tilling the soil.
Today this same territory supports
l00,000,0O0 men, women and children.
The day is not far off when it will
support double this number as the di-
rect result of more scientific farming.
1t is impossible to mistake the
trend of the times. efficiency, econ
omy and progress are in the air.
There was a time, even long after
the white man came, when practically
all farm work was done by hand. AT
late as 1850 there were but few labor
saving devices other than the wagon
the cart and the cotton gin.
Then came the mowin" machine.
On its heels came the reaper to take
the place of the cradle; the thresher
to take the place of the fail. Evolu-
ton has held sway ever since, and
woe to the farmer who has not kept
abreast of the times.
Even now the demand is for more
intensive farming-for better methods
Even now the benefactor is the man
who can make two blades of grass
grow where one grew before. Even
now the demand is for relief for the
farmer and his wife from the drudg'
cry of farm life.
There were stand-patters in th'
olden days who fought against tht
introduction of the reaper, the thresh
er and the steam pillow. There art
stand-patters today who oppose thu
introduction OF electricity.
Where electric power is so plenti
full and so cheap as it is in ldah'
there is no logical reason that can b
advanced against its use by the Thrift
ty farmer.
Why, for illustration, should no
the farmers wife in Idaho have, i
addition to the electric light, the cleo
trio iron, the washing machine, tn
sewing machine, the vegetable peele'
the bread mixer?
Why should not the Idaho dairy
man have the cream separator, tn

clerk OF the fountain to mix her a nut
sundae. But she she will offer the
young man to blow her off to one.
And behold, when the sundaes are
gone the way of all things, the young
man tippeth the clerk wink and
passeth out gaily with the maiden.
And the clerk is on. He knoweth
that the young man is broke.
And will the young man slip the

so, as soon as his fathers pension

of its good keeping varieties still in
storage. These will be sold by the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors with
which our organization is affiliated, as
the marketing conditions justify. The
Distributors in their methods this year
have been a great steadying influence
and unquestionably have held steady
the marketing conditions during the
very nervous period.
Indications are pointing to better
future market. Financial conditions
are opening up. Weather throughout
the country is much improved. The ap-
piles of poor keeping qualities are be-
ing rapidly consumed. Foreign ship
ments are on the increase"
The above from the manager of the
local Fruit Distributors will give local
fruit growers an idea of the way condi-
tons look at the present time. Indica-
tons all along the line are more fav-
orable.
There is probably no question but
greater than ever before. For awhile
the foreign market was cut off. The
war in Europe had cut out some bus
mess and scared out lot more The
Atlantic coast was afraid to buy, the
South was cut off from its cotton mon
ey. The Canadian markets were cut
off on account of the war. This to-
gether with the fact that the crop was
a large one, made the situation des-
perate. There is every indication that
all of the big marketing organizations
had worked out an increased efficien-
cy otherwise the year might have been
disastrous

Floral Table Decoration.

Simple and artistic must be
floral table decorations, If the
standard set by judges at the O..
A.. c. Horticultural Show is generally
accepted. In the table decoration
contest entered by each of the four
classes in home economies, the win
ming table was a model Of artistic
simplicity, decorated only by-what
do you think? Some of the many
beautiful and expensive flowers, pot
ted plants and vines assembled
there, no doubt. But the SUPPOSE
ton is wrong; simple nasturtiums-
vines, leaves and fowers-trailed
from a graceful reed basket, were
the only decorations used by the
juniors, who won the first prize.
Oregon housewives, every one, should
know this. The students had the
run of hundreds of dollars worth of
flowers, shrubs and vines, yet chose
the simple home flower and won
with it. And the decision was
awarded by Mrs. w. j. Kerr and C,
|. Lewis, wives respectively of the
president of the college and the head
Of the horticultural department, and
Miss Hitchcock, a specialist in do
nestle arts. A general acceptance
Of this principle in table decorations
would relieve ~perplexed housewives
Of at least n social care-and of
n financial worry, as well.
