monies ON Tuesday, Dec. i4th.
Goyernor Alexander To he Present

The new creamery building about
.hich We have had 80 much to say
during the past few weeks is finally
.ompleted. and the first cream was
delivered at the same on Monday Of
this week, the Overbrook Farms
having the honor OF delivering the
arst can OF cream to an industry
that promises TO become one OF tho
greatest assets to the farmers on the
tract.
1t has been the desire OF the Board
of Directors TO mark the advent OF
this institution on the tract with pro.
per ceremony. and accordingly II had
been arranged that day be set apart
for the proper dedication Of the same
and to give the people OF the town
and the tract at large an opportun-
ity to inspect the rame.
IL was some time since that Gov
ernOr Alexander expressed desire TO
be present at the dedication OF the
same, and he was asked last week to
name d date that would be agreeable
to him. At late hour yesterday We
received word that he could be pres

date has been accordingly set for the
dedication.
This announcement coming at this
late hour II is impossible TO give mi.
mute details as TO the program te

M when all are invited TO call at th'
establishment and look II over care
fully and the stockholders are espe
eially requested to look into tn

ton.
After the inspection OF the build
Ing and its contents. an adJournmeh

where an address will be delivere
by Governor Alexander. followed b
remarks by others Interested In tn

BIG BOOSTER BANQUET.
Business Men and Citizens of jerome
Meet to Encourage the Spirit
of Good-Fellowship

May the spirit of goodfellow-
ship expand until we see jerome
become the metropolis of South
ern Idaho. Until then, keep a
boosting"
The above was the toast of the ev-
ening heartily endorsed by nearly one
hundred of our business men and |
citizens who gathered about the bali
quet board at the North Side Inn on |
Friday evening last and took an ini- |
tiative step in the organization of
what will be known as the Good
Fellows Booster Club, of Jerome"
This meeting was of no spontaneous
origin, but has been contemplated
ever since the glowing results began
to come in of the prosperity that has
evidently come to the farmers on the
tract as evidenced by the productive
yields that have been realized the
past season.
While as a rule there has always
existed a spirit of good fellowship
throughout the town and the sur
rounding couptry, one principal OBJ
ject of this meeting was to devise
some means whereby a closer rela-
tionship could be established be-
tween the citizens of the town and
the farmers adjacent thereto, as 1t
is conceded on all sides that the in
terests of all are identical, and the
success of one means prosperity for
, the other. The farmer, by his pat
, ronage to the local merchant can
: bring about success for the latter,
while the citizens of the town can
4 materially assist in the prosperity OF
4 the farmer by cooperating in the
: establishment of markets for the pro
4 ducts of the farm, and this seemed
n to be the sense of the meeting helC
q as above.
II The affair was in the nature of

Side Inn, where plates were laid 10

II was a noticeable fact that very fey

Reports on North Side Project.

The Irrigation Commission submit
ted its report on the Twin Falls |
North Side tract on Saturday last,
and the following summary of the |
same we take from the Statesman of
Sunday morning:
with respect TO the Twin Falls
North Side project the commission
reports an alarming shortage of wa
ter principally due to leaks in the
reservoirs and canals and INSULT
cient acpacity OF the main canal.
Good crops we're found in isolated
instances where the farmers received
more than the allotted percentage of
water, or abandoned part of their
farms and applied all their water on
the remaining ground.
"In the opinion of the commission
the main canal will have to be en-
larged. or a separate canal construct
ed for the first segregation. Should
il be found that sufficient water can
not be obtained for the entire project
the commission recommends the cut
ting off of the Glover creek or third

' ond segregation. 1t is recommended
that the company be not allowed to

The Jerome Fire Department are
arranging for a dance to be held at
the Amusement Hall on Thursday
evening, Dec. 23rd, the entire pro-
ceeds OF which will go toward the
purchase of new fire alarm. At the
present time the finances OF the
town will not warrant the purchase
of an improved alarm, and as this is
considered very necessary at tho
present time. the fire boys propose
to take this method of procuring one
and their efforts should be encour-

called upon for remarks and their
responses were listened to with much
interest by all. Mr.. Shepherd pro-
badly consumed the most time OF any
one in reciting some of the former
history of the tract and the cause
which brought about his presence
here, and in most feeling and In
teresting manner recited the prob
lens that he has been attempting to
solve since taking the management
of the tract, assuring his hearers
that the present management was as
much interested in the up-building
and success of the tract as any entry
man upon it, and that the future sue
cess OF all interested was now be-
yond any question of doubt.
Not one of the speakers but urged
that the hand of good-fellowship be
extended TO the farmers who are in
strumental in making this section the
success it has already attained, trust
ing with their cooperation to realize
the results as outlined in the toast OF
the evening.
Before an adjournment was taken
it was the unanimous voice of those
assembled that the Booster Club"
become a permanent organization
and that every farmer within this
section be invited to become mem

pected that II will be finished by Feb.

which has double tracks, is considered
by military men to permit of n con.

GaIlipoli.

London.-The British and French
troops have successfully carried out
their retirement from Serbia across
the Greek frontier and by an arrange
mont with the Greek Government a
clear road has been left for them to fall
back on Saloniki, which is being or
ganized as base.
The German official report claims
that approximately two English divi-
sions were annihilated during the re-
tirement Accounts from Athens and
Salonlki say the retreat was carried
out in an orderly manner and without
heavy losses. BY the destruction of
railway bridges and roads and by stub
born rear-guard actions, in one OF
which two companies of the lnniskill-
ing regiment sacrificed themselves to
save their comrades, the Bulgarians
were kept at a fairly safe distance.
The question now arises whether
the Bulgarlans and Austro- Germans
intend 20 follow the British and French
troops into Greece, and what action
the Greek Government will take should
they do so. The impression gained
from dispatches emanating from
Athens is that neither the Bulgarians
nor the Turks, who also are reported
to have arrived near the frontier,
would be welcomed in Greece and that,
therefore, II It has been decided to
follow the Entente Allies the task will
be undertaken by Austrians and Ger
mans.
However, with the railway destroy
ed II may be some days before Greece
is called upon to take action, and by
that time the Anglo-French force
should be safe in the defenses OF
Saloniki, and under the guns of their
ships.
The remains Of the Serbian army
are still resisting the Austrians and
Bulearians In Albania, while the Aus
trians are making very slow progress
in their efforts to overwhelm Monte

on the eastern and western fronts. On

the Entente allied ships keep things
lively for the Turks, whose attempt
at an offensive last week seems to
have failed.
A British official report says that
the Turkish attacks at Kut-El-Amara,
where British reinforcements are ar
irving, have been, repulsed. The at
tacks were made from all sides, but
the British position was so strong that
the Turks were unable to make any
impression on 1t.

John TyIer's Romance.
John Tyler was twice married, the
second time while he was president.
His first wife was Letitia Christian,
who belonged to one OF the old fami.
lies Of Virginia. Mrs. Tyler bore the
president nine children. Just before
her husband was elected vice presi-
dent of the United States she suffered
stroke of paralysis and short time
after he succeeded William Henry
Harrison as president she died--in the
White House
The second winter after her death
the president met Julia, the daughter
Of Mr.. Gardiner, who lived on one Of
the islands in Long Island sound.
The president fell desperately in love
he wooed as a youth of twenty
would WOO, impetuously and roman.
tically. 1t wasn't a great while before
they were engaged and a short time
later they we're married quietly at the
Church of the Ascension in New
York city.
Grover Cleveland did not marry un-
til fairly late in life, Then he fell in
love with Frances Folsom, the daugh-
ter of his law partner She was a
girl whom he had known from early
childhood--there was a time when
she called him Uncle Cleve." Mr..
Cleveland and Miss Folsom were
welded in the famous Blue room at
the White House.
For a long time 1t was thought that
President Wilson and Mrs. Gait would
be married in the White House. Peo-
pie just supposed that Mrs. Gait would
want to go down in history as an
actual White House bride. From the
general feminine point of view II
seemed really the only thing to do.
Charming. tactful Mrs. Gait decided
long ago. however. that a woman
should be married in her own home
and not in that of her husband. She
did not believe in breaking the Amer.
ican--nay, the world-precedent in
the matter. And in this all Washing
ton approved.

Secretary OF Agriculture Houston
Recommends Legislation To I'm:
prove Handling and Stor-
age Conditions.

Washington. - Secretary Houston's
annual report places an estimate OF
S9,S7S 100000 on the value of Ameri-
can farm crops and animal products
for last year, valuation without pre-
cedent. This, however. probably will
be ecllpsed by the present years
showing
This valuation is an increase OF
about SS3,OOO,OO0 over the value Of
1913, hitherto the highest ever re-
corded The increase occurred in the
face of a decline in cotton from 1875
cents a pound for the 1918 crop to an
average OF 7.3 cents for 1914. The
total value OF the 1913 cotton crop.
estimated at ss46.OOO,O00. was $685.
100000 more than the 1914 crop, al
though the latter was IA per cent.
greater in quantity.
"The total agricultural exports in
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915,
practically the first year of the war;
says the report, were s1,470,O0O 900,
which is an increase of s356,00O, 900,
or 80 per cent over those Of the pre-
ceding year and Of s433, 100000. or
nearly AZ per cent over the average
of the fve years 1904"
What is needed more, perhaps, than
anything else, the Secretary says, is
an increase in meat animals. To that
end the department has extended its
, activities as far as its funds would
permit. Elimination of common live
stock diseases, from which losses are
said TO be enormous, would result in
material increase OF the meat supply
ut has been conservatively esti-
mated" the report continues, ION the
basis of data for 30 years, that the an
nual direct losses from animal dis
eases are approximately $4,000, 900
The indirect losses, which also are
great, cannot be estimated at all, The
direct loss ascribed TO each disease is
as follows
Hog cholera, s75.OOO,OOO; Texas
fever and cattle ticks, s40,0OOO00;
tuberculosis, s25,OOO,0O0; contagious
abortion, $20,OOO.OOO; blackleg, s6,OOO,.

try diseases. sS.75O,OOO'
The potash situation, the report
states, continues serious. There is
practically no potash available for
fertilizer and indications are that the
supply for that purpose will not be in
creased materially next year.

GREECE MAKES TERMS.
Give Bulsars and Teutons Passage,
Let Allies Fortlfy saloniki.

Paris.--The Allies have concluded a
military agreement with the Greek
Government containing the following
proyisions
First-The Greek troops shall tenn
porarily withdraw to allow free pass
age to an invading Bulgarian or
Austro-German army.
Second-The Allies are authorized to
remain at Saloniki and fortify them
selves there.
Third-Greece undertakes to reduce
her contingent so occupying the forts
and batteries at the entrance to the
Gulf of Saloniki.
Greece has already begun the execu-
tion of the first proviso. A dispatch
to the Temps from Saloniki states
that the Government has ordered the
fifth Greek Army Corps to withdraw
from Saloniki.
A dispatch from Athens states that
the reports that Bulgarian troops have
entered Greek territory is officially de-
MED there.
