VISITORS WERE PLEASED
Home Industry Window Displays In
terest Outsiders.

Two out-of-town visitors last Sat
urday, who We're particularly inter-
eSted in the Home Industry display
were Heber Scowcroft, of the John
Scowcroft & Sons Co., Ogden, and s.
f. Bailliff, Jr., of the Bailliff- Rolapp
Brokerage Co., OF Ogden and Salt Lake
City. These men represent two of the
largest jobbing houses in Utah, whose
business amounts to some millions of
dollars yearly. They made a tour OF
the stores to see how well they were
represented. Mr. Scowcroft found two
stores that had special window dis
plays of his goods, while Mr. Baillift
found canned goods from his company
in every grocery save one
Both men were much surprised at
the thorough manner in which Twin
Falls people were observing the week
and both promised that next year they
would see to it that this city had
special exhibits direct from Ogden
When told that similar action had
been taken in many other towns over
the state they decided that home in
dustry, as practiced by the people OF
Idaho, meant hundreds of thousands
OF dollars spent with the home manu-
facturers, and the consequent up
building of home industries.

Platform and The Issues For Which Its
Supporters Will Fight
full Ticket in field Headed by Everett NJ Sweeey-Does Not
Favor Water From Canals

None of them are politicians in any
sense OF the word. They are just plain
every day business men ready to do
their duty to the city. Their nomina-
ton was not the result of packed
caucus but the choice through due de-
liberation of twenty citizens assembled
in convention
But above all the issues, pure water
must be taken into consideration
These men do not believe in the city
using water from canal. That Is
final. They do believe in getting pure
spring water If by any means it can
be done and will bend their efforts
to that solution rather than attempt
ing any move to continue the present
unsatisfactory supply. Their pledge
is made for pure water that will be
real drawing card for prospective
residents and to protect those who
are already here.
There Is nothing to be gained by
continuing the same group in office or
their henchmen, who have not advanc-
ed toward the coveted goal of munic-
ipal system. 1t is time for change
and The Times appeals to the voters
of the city to back the Pure Water
Ticket with E. M. Sweeley at its head.

IS NOW OVER
! 23 YEARS OLD AS A SPORT

Basketball is now little over %
years old. The game got its start
when, in December, 1891, number
of instructors at the Springfield Train
ing School, which develops physical
directors for Y. NJ. c. A. work, met in
the office of DIR. Luther Gulick, ath-
letic director at the school, and an
nounced that they were in need of
some new form of exercise.
DR.. Gulick asked for suggestions.
His object was to inaguarate sport
that would serve as perfection in
scientific physical development. He
named lacrosse and association foot
ball as examples from which to get
ideas. ...= ~. -.
A.. Mentioning these two sports will
give an idea how the bali and nets
were carried out in the promotion of
basketball DR.. Gulick spoke of Ia
crosse as being an ideal sport for sci
entific physical development, but made
it clear that he hoped to abolish the
use of clubs. His idea was to have
action without brutality. ~zf ..s,.. ~"
Honolulu star-bulletin., 1915-01-25

Prof. James Naismith of the Spring
field Training School staff was the
man who presented the idea of basket
ball which appealed to the men at the
school. He introduced the game and
is the father of the now popular sport.
The following year the game became
very popular at the Springfield insti-
tuition, the first game being played
there on January Is, 1892, between
two class teams.
The following year the sport was
taken up by the majority of Y. NJ. C.
A. athletes. Goals were then made
of iron hoops whom which nets were
suspended. At first the nets were
woven so as to retard the drop Of
the ball, but in recent years they
have been arranged so as to permit
the ball to pass through to the play
ing floor.
DR.. Luther Gulick, father of the
game, is a cousin of Rev. John T.
