BUY AT HOME.

In recent circular issued by R. w.
Childs, secretary Of the Idaho State
League of Commercial bodies. Mr..
Childs' suggestion of BUY at Home"
league is good one. Generally
speaking people secure better article
and are better pleased when they can
purchase same from their local deal
er thereby seeing and knowing what
they want before they pay for it. Yet
is Is the fault of the merchant in many
cases as he does not carry an assort
ment for the customers to select from
and in other cases he doets not carry
the kind or grade of good wanted.
We believe this Buy at Home" propo-
3ition ought to bring the purchaser ano
the merchant in closer touch.
1t is to the interest of every com
munity to build up its town and nc
better way to do this than patronizt
your local merchant On the Other
hand the merchant should cater to
he wants of his customers and also
be in position to buy the produce
hat the farmer has to offer in the
way of butter, eggs, fruit, vegetables,
etc.
Mr.. Childs is entitled to great credit
for his untiring efforts in building UP
the cooperation of the commercial
Of Idaho and which has re-
suited in much good for all who have
taken an interest in these secretary
meetings. 1t is creating feeling Of
harmony and cooperation which re-
suits in great good for the whole state
The slogan now is Buy at Home

They reached a point 10 miles from
here at 10 O'Clock Saturday morning
when the steering gear broke, the car
cramped and pitched the four occu-
pants violently onto the lava rock
along the roadside. Mr.. Woodruff
struck on the top of his head, crush
ing his skull. The other members of
the party escaped fatal injury because
they struck the rocks with their
bodies. Help was summoned immedi-
ately and the injured men were rush
ed to Shoshone.
O. ]. Brennan went out to the
scene Of the accident and brought the
body Of the dead man to this city,
but later in the evening the remains
were taken to Burley, and thence on
to Michigan for burial.
The party left Burley on the morn

PEACE AND
PROSPERITY
Richfield Tract Looking AS
Good as Possible

One Of the most enjoyable rides that
one can take for both pleasure an6
profit Is a swing around the Richfielo
tract where on all sides you meet with
nothing but good cheer and content
ment. When you ask a farmer the
questions, How is everything?" his
answer will be, "Just look at that
field of alfalfa, or that field of grain
or come over here and look at that
bunch of cows. or sheep or hogs"
One doesn't need to go further to
know that prosperity is stalking
abroad in our fair land. The waving
fields Of grain and hay are a sight to
bulge out with delight and put the
cramp of discomfort and longing into
the heart of the poor unfortunate who
is contented to spend days in dingy
quarters in some seven story build
ing.
Crops never looked better nor pros
poets better than at present in this
country and these conditions are prov
en- by the many homeseekers coming
tic with the conditions that many are
buying improved land that they may
get into the game early next spring
and reap the benefits at once. Several
improved farms were purchased last
week by parties from the coast who
realize that land partly or wholly i'm
proved in this section is snap com
pared with their high priced lands on
the coast or in the Rainbelt country.
There is no better country under the
sun for dairying and hay raising than
this section and practical farmers are
quick to recognize this fact

FARMER BILL
VISITS BOISE
Talks Mutual Creamery to
Boise Valley Citizens

Farmer Bilr' Parkhurst of Rich
field, one of the directors in the Mu-
tual Creamery company, was in Boise.
taking up with Secrtary Childs of the
Commercial club, C. J. Sinsel and 9TH
ers the proposition Of a condenser for
Boise valley. Speaking of the Mutual
Creamery company. Farmer Bill"
said:
"To Idaho in general, and to Rich
field in particular, belongs the credit
for the initial movement that has re-
suited in the largest farmers coop
erative company ever successfully
launched in the United States, where
the producers will own 60 per cent of
the stock and will receive all surplus
earned by the company above the 10
per cent annual dividend paid on all
stock"
Farmer Bill" who is a strong ad-
vocate of cooperation, in his work
with the Farmers Society of Equity
found that the farmer usually fell
down from the lack of capital and the
ability to find a market for his fin
ished product He believed that if the
farmers could interest an established
company, who already had the facili-
ties for marketing the finished pro-
ducts, and an established selling
agency, that a cooperative company
could be formed which would be pro-
ductive of great results, both for the
producer and the investor.
With this in view, Mr.. Parkhurst
visited W. T. Jensen, president of the
Jensen Creamery company of Salt
Lake. Mr.. Jensen, who is a close OBJ
5erver of conditions, realized that the
drift is toward a closer and more eco
lomical system, as between producer
md consumer. and was much interest
ed i'll the proposition as suggested by
Mr.. Parkhurst He proceeded to take
he matter up with his company. with
The result that May l saw the elimina-
ion of the Jensen Creamery company
and the launching of the Mutual
Creamery company under the most
favorable conditions.
The net profit from the Mutual
business will be placed in a separate
fund, known as the patronage divi-
iend fund, which shall be divided an
nually among the producer stockhold
srs of this corporation, in proportion
to their sales to the corporation Of
lairy and poultry products.
The company will. as soon as possi-
Die, ship in and distribute to the
larry stock, and when necessary allow
he farmers to pay for them from
certain portion of their cream checks

Many other features never before
attempted by a creamery company
will be introduced for the benefit of
he small dairy farmer.
