UNIQUE REMINDER
OF DUCK SEASON

If any of our nimrods had forgot
ten fer the moment that the open
season for ducks will be ushered in
tomorrow morning with sunrise they
were certainly given a pleasant re-
minder by the unique window dis
play at the store of Giesler Bros,
where no small pains had been spar
ed in designing and working out a
hunting scene that attracted much
attention as well as favorable COM
ment.
An artificial pond, partly concealed
oy tules, in which contentedly swan
nalf a dozen sure-enough valid ducks,
was the center-piece that first at
lracted the notice of everyone pass
ing along the sidewalk. Then there
We're several suggestive pictures of
both large and small game, an en-
ticing display of mountain trout, vari
Gus kinds of lunch goods and camp
equipment, corn-fodder and grain
shocks and the ever-present, soul
disturbing warning signs ON every
hand, such as: mo Hunting Loud"
Keep Off Shootin in Here" mo
Tresspassin This meens You-Stock
inside" "V-isous Bull Keep Out,'
''Fishin & Huntin Prohibited Stay
Out" etc.
To be just plain about it, somebody
connected with Giesler Brothers
woke up one morning with a happy
idea capering around in the sport
loving section of his thinking machin
cry and wasn't afraid to expend
little time and effort in calculating
the idea as it was subsequently pre-
sented for public inspection.
The number of questions asked
about various things connected with
the display, especially about those
wild ducks, which were kindly loan
ed for the occasion by Charlie
Pearoe, who has been raising them
successfully for the past three years,
would fiH booklet. One fellow
wanted to borrow them for decoys,
while another wanted TO buy them
so that he could be sure Of having
something to exhibit to his friends
as an evidence Of his marksmanship.

SES IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
WITH ORCHARD MEN, ASSOcfA-
TIONS AND INDEPENDENT
SHIPPERS.

]. w. Fisher, who represents tbs
United States Office of Markets, witt
: headquarters at Spokane, Wash.
made this vicinity an official visi
last Friday and addressed a small
gathering of fruitgrowers in the
Commercial Club room in this city
in the afternoon.
Mr.. Fisher is supposed to cover
all the territory west OF the Rocky
Mountains, either personally or
through representatives from the
Spokane office. He is engaged in
what appears to be a work of un-
usual importance to not only every
fruitgrower, but to all the people
of every community that depends
to any great extent upon the pros
perity that is to reward the efforts
of those who are engaged in the
great industry.
His talk was along the line of
work that has been mapped out by
his department, which seeks par
ticularly the requirement of specific
and reliable information as to ship
ments, destination, distribution and
net receipts, which data will be re-
quested from both cooperative as
sociations and individual shippers. It
is proposed to compile and dissem-
inmate the Information thus obtain
ed as to fruit movements, by means
of weekly bulletins TO be issued dur
ing the shipping season, which will
be accessible to all persons interest
ed, and sometime during the COM
ing winter to- make public a resume
of the information obtained through
the efforts ard research of the Gov
eminent office, which will deal with
distribution of shipments covering
the entire season, prices received
and the localities to which ship
ments were consigned, thus showing
sectors where the markets have
not been developed or sufficiently
supplied.
Mr.. Fisher, in company with Secre-
tary Brainard of the Commercial
Club, called on number of the
Independent shippers as well as the |
associations in this and the Fruit |
land communities and was given the
assurance that there. is a very |
general disposition to cooperate with
his department in its efforts to I'M
prove conditions for the orchard in
1ustry.

TURKEY RAISING
PAYING BUSINESS

John King, the turkey king" (no
joke) of the Big Willow country was
in Payette Saturday, having come
down to arrange for the delivery oi
a small flock. of 400 turkeys which
he recently sold to DR.. A. V. Strauss
and c. H. Bowman of this city.
These turkeys were raised by Mr..
King on and about his homestead
ranch On Dry Creek, a tributary to
Big Willow, 23 miles east of Pay
cite and are at present being held
and herded on the 700-acre orchard
tract owned by the Payette Valley
Land G. Orchard Co., two miles west
of New Plymouth.
1t was the intention to drive the
birds from the orchard tract through
Payette, across the Snake river
hssidge to the point of delivery on
the Idaho-Oregon Slope Sunday, but
after the arrival of Mr.. King it
was decided to keep them where
they are for the present and to re-
move them later to the stubble-fields
OF the Oregon side, where they will
be finished up and put in prime con-
\Sition for the Thanksgiving and Holi-
day markets.
Mr.. King moved ON a dry home
stead about three years ago and find
ing that the land yielded larger
crop of grasshoppers than of any
thing else, he decided to raise a
few turkeys to help along with the
expenses From the first he found
that the business could be made to
pay and for the past three years
has raised and marketed several hun
dred fowls each season, paying from
the proceeds his family expenses and
purchasing implements and various
kinds of farm machinery. The birds
lave averaged about $2.25 when held
for the holiday trade.

FARMER RADFcRO ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu.
ton of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations Of
Queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
Of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be married or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chiyalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the scrdid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
. of our domestic welfare and guide
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

The RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm--The Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages Of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly I'M
derstood and illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
fluences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulnes5,
They are local forces working fof
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity Of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
is part Of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
it's columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.
