$4,000 PAUPERS COULD BE FED ON UNITED
STATES WASTE

" On perishable products alone the
waste this year on the farms OF the
United States amounted to $3.50, OOO,-
000," declares G. w. Holman, secre-
tary of the National Conference on
Marketing and Farm Credits. "This
waste begins on the farm in the form
of unmarketed products and waste
resulting from inadequate banking
accommodations for farmers.
The waste of the present system
of marketing follows due largely to
faulty packing and lacking of stand
ardization and expensive middle
mems profits the waste that direct
" hits the consumer by a big in
crease in retail prices.
Cooperation will do away with
the bulk of these evils, but to do so
the country must be put on war
basis Just as the European coun-
tries are now. With every facility for
quick, cheap handling of foodstuffs.
With producers cooperating for
cheaper production and fairer prices.
With cooperative societies through
out the land that can lower the con-
sumer's cost by purchasing on a
large scale at the lowest possible
price"
Three men of international fame
economic experts-will be among the
so speakers scheduled for the con-
ference.
Sir Horace Plunkitt of Dublin, Ire
land, will tell how cooperation is re-
nf
land and regenerating the Irish farm
er. He will tell what should be done
to organize in America.
David Lubin, American delegate to
the International Institute of Agri-,
culture, Rome, Italy, will tell of the
changes in agricultural methods in
various European countries.
Myron T. Herrick, former U. S. am
bassador to France, will discuss farm
orodifS and itS OaedS in this country

worth of food is utterly wasted in this
country every year! ..
This sum, allowing 81 a day for
each one, would provide for the ma
tons $4,000 paupers for 10 years.
And the remaining nine years waste
would pile up $2,70A0OO, 900, practic-
ally enough to wipe out the $780,
262,181 public debt of the United
States.
This yearly waste is the blight upon
prosperity of 100000 people and is
one of the largest factors in the high
cost of living. 1t eats up every dol
lar increase In wages that the work.
ingman gets.
And the United States is the only
nation in the world that has gone on
year after year reckIessIy letting this
waste of food grow unchecked.
To devise ways and means of elm
mating this waste 100000 farmers
and economic experts from every
state in the union will meet in Chi
cago from Nov 20 to Dec. 2.
AS the waste starts at the farm it is
the producers themselves who, at this
third national conference on market
ing and farm credits, will tackle the
gigantic task Of organizing the agri-
cultural interests of America for a
practical solution of the problem of 1
cheaper living.
To do this, experts who have
studied the problem, declare a ma
tional cooperative movement must
be organized between producer and
consumer. as has been done in Ger
many, England, Scotland, Ireland and
Denmark.
These countries by cooperation
have organized their agricultural and
all the activities incident to the hand
ling of foodstuffs until now there is
but the tbarest possible margin of
waste and middleman's profit be-

NEW INDUSTRY FOR
BLACKFOOT ASSURED

w. F. Drefer of Salt Lake City, rep
resenting the Hastings Industrial Co
Ot Chicago, contractors and builders {
canning factories Of fruits and vege-
tables, spent several days in Black
foot this week in the interest of his
company. Monday night at the First
National bank he met with a num-
ber of our business men and citizens
who were very favorably impressed
with his proposition, which they all
seemed to think would be great
benefit to Blackfcot and Bingham
county.
Tuesday morning some of the lead
ing citizens and merchants assembled
in the office of Hansbrcugh & Gagon
to discuss the proposition and ascer-
tain what encouragement and aid was
in store for the establishment of a
cannery in Blackfoot. Those present
were E. M. Kennedy, d. H. Biethan,
A. E. Byers, L. R. Aldrich, G. w. Ca
eOn, F. C.. Christ, A. B. Stephens,
Messrs. Tavey. MacCosham, Van Or
den, Pearson and others.
The proposition before the meeting
was the erection of a $4,000 cannery
that WOULD prepare fer market all the
fruits and vegetables that are now
going to waste in Bingham county,
thus affording the farmer and fruit
raiser a worldwide market fer his
produce at gocd prices Today there

BLACKFOOTS LOSS;
POCATELLOS GAIN

That Pocatello is the ideal location
wholesale concern is rapidly dawning
on the keen business minds of the
intermountain country, and another
concern is to immediately locate here.
1t is the Neil F. Boyle c-mpany, a
ton which has done business at Black
foot for long period. The decision
was reached last week and Saturday
morning, Mr. Boyle, in company with
Carlyle Hall of the Jensen Creamery
company, went over the ground where
new wholesale house of good pl'o-
portions is to be established.
Two lots at the corner of First ave-
nue. and Carey street have been Sc
cured by the Bloyle people. and just
IS soon as the frost is cut of the
ground sufficient to permit excava
ton, wcrk will be started on a three
STORY brick structure that is to cover
entirely the two lots, and a capacious
basement is likewise included in the
plans. The preliminary work will be
started without delay. The ground
purchased by the new concern was
formerly utilized as a coal yard.
The Byole company has concluded
to remove it's headquarters and busi
ness from Blackfoot to Pocatello,
and will. when the big warehouse is
completed, engage in an exclusive
wholesale and jobbing business in
hardware and the like, and statesmen
and other attaches connected with the
institution will make the Gate City
their headquarters.
This institution adds another sub
stantial concern to the wholesale dis
trict, and the management asserts
there can be no disputing the advan-
tages Pocatello offers in that field,
and the district is located SO as to
be convenient to sidetrackage and
other shipping facilities. while COM
mon point of distribution appeals in
every way.
Tho Boyle company is a solid and
entorprising combination, and its in
vestment here will represent a con-
siderable figure.-Pcoatello Tribune
From an interview with Manager
VanBramer of the Boyle Hardware Co
we learned that the above article was
truo regarding the Wholesale depart
ment of the N. F. Boyle company re-
moving to tho Gate City. where about
half Of its stock and payroll would be
maintained, but that at the same
stand.
The N. F. Boyle company ranks to-
day among the largest and most
successful business enterprises of it
kind in the state. and has had as
many as twenty-one employees on its
payroll, and the loss Of half of it will

a gain to Pocatello. Notwithstanding

would be the greatest beneficiaries Of
