was taxed to the limit, and Miss Amy
Gilmore. hat girl, held back long
line of patrons.

KinSOIvin9 Has
Bad Accident
AUTOMOBILE IS COMPLETE WRECK
All Three Occupants Injured When Car OvertaFnS
Neither Seriously

The first automobile accident
in which anyone was injured in
this city occurred Saturday after
noon and resulted in the wreck
ing of a car although fortunate
ly no one was permanently in
iured. Dr. Kinsolving was driv-
ing around the city showing the
merits Of his new car to S. M.
Babbitt and Mr.. Erkhart and came
up Tenth street from Main to Col
lege to show what it could do in
going up hill on fow speed. A.
B. Annis was out with his car and
passed Kinsolving going up the
hill and both cars turned down
College.
A race was started down Col
lege with both machines travel
ing alta rate of about forty miles
an hour. When Kinsolving's
machine reached Fourth street
he threw off the power and start
ed to coast and near Third street
the front wheels struch a loose
stone and turned toward the curb.
When he attempted to straighten
the machine the steering gear
would not work and the machine
started to skid down the hill.
One rear wheel broke and the
car rolled over down the hill
throwing the men out. Eye
Witnesses of the accident claim
that the car turned completely
over twice, and was completely
wrecked, the only thing not
smashed being the engine.
Fortunately the men in the car
were thrown completely clear Of
lit. Babbitt, who was in the front
seat with Kinsolving, was thrown
completely over him and when he
stopped rolling was eighteen OF
twenty feet from the wreck of the
car All three of the men were
badly bruised and scratched and
their clothing torn but none of
them were seriously injured.
Kinsolving, who was hampered

most seriously injured. There

Speaks Highly of

Captain Racl(@ which will be
put ON here unHs the direction
of Mr.. Louis Denefsand under the
auspices Of the SH}RAries band.
next Monday nightSsAArch 22nd,
at the Grand Theatile
"The home talent play, Captain
Racket, put on Monday night un-
der the direction Of Mr.. Louis
Denee, was by odds the best pro-
duction ever seen in Priest River
and so very creditably presented
that it was the equal of high class
road companies. 1t was simply
fine and was a decided surprise to
all who were so fortunate as to
attend. Unlike most home tai
ent plays, there was not one weak
character in the piece, everyone
being admirably fitted to the part
assigned, and so natural and easy
did each lt into the character
taken that il was hard to under
stand that' Captain Racket was
not real, and that every actor not
a professional. Mr.. Denee is
certainly an artist in his line, for
the piece staged here was not the
work of a bungler.
"The highest compliment that
can be paid to both Mr.. Denee
and the home people who took
part is that all who saw Captain
/ Racket are hoping that another
play will soon follow, and if Mr..
Denee should ever stage another
piece there is sure TO be a packed
house"

Made Happy
By Governor

John r. Dernier, who because
of injuries received while en-
ployed IN the construction of the
new Idaho state capitol building
had to have both legs amputated
and numerous other operations
performed, is a happy man today
for Governor Moses Alexander
signed the bill passed by the leg
islature extending him relief. On
presentation by the governor of
a certified copy to the state aud
itor, that official will turn over to
him a state warrant drawn on the
general funds of the state for the
amount of the appropriation call
ed for in the bill, $4,000.
Governor Alexander refused to
sign the act until the several
physicians who attended Dernier
had assigned their claims to him
so that he will be the only 'bene-
flciary and receive the total
amount Of the appropriation. Re
ceipts for the various amounts
due these physicians were taken
by the governor. The total was
SiOi2.5O.
Dernier was injured during the
month of March. 1912. While
employed on the capitol build
ing at the time of its construction
rock fell upon him crushing
both of his legs and their ampu-
tatiOn became necessary. The
appropriation will permit him TO
engage in some small business.

special meeting OF the 81.
Maries Farmers Union was held
here in the Odd Fellows hall last
Saturday, as a part of the mem
bership campaign contest which
is on between Twin Lakes and
this place. During the latter
part Of January state mem
bership campaign was on during
which time Twin Lakes and St.
Maries we're tied on the number

mutual agreemens, the contest
was extended until the first reg
ular meetings Of these locals in
April in order to make it possible
FOR these two to work for addi-
tional membership, the one get
ting the larger number to be
the winner and entitled to the
pennant for the winning local.
Mr.. j. II. Taylor, state organiz-
er, attended the meeting Satur-
Gay to speak on the plans and
purposes of the organization and
TO outline somewhat of the ac-
complishments of the movement
for the betterment of the farm
ers.
THE Farmers Union" stated
Mr.. Taylor, twas the creature of
necessity. It began among the
cotton growers in Texas about
thirteen years ago for the pur-
pose Of pooling a quantity Of the
cotton to better meet the mar
kets and get a more adequate re-
turn for this product. A man
by the name of Newt Gresham
first conceived the idea of getting
the growers together. He start
ed out among the immediate
neighbors to explain the plan. It
soon became popularity accepted
and instead Of being merely a
local concern, began to spread
among the growers until a cOun-
ty movement was instituted.
This proved to be the begin
ming of nation wide movement
which has grown now until 26
states are already organized and
over three million members have
been initiated into the Organiza-
ton. The organization had as
its immediate purpose the better
ment Of the condition of the
farmer. It's operation was upon
this basis. There were then as
now certain grave and difficult
problems ahead of the farmers.
If these problems were to be
solved satisfactorily to thefarmer
they must be solved by the farlh-
er himself. And to properly
solve these farmer problems il
would call for a strong organiza-
ton Of the farmers. AS individ-
uals they could accomplish but
little but as an organized force
they could accomplish big things
Every other industry presented
effective organization and to meet
the issues, it would be necessary
for the farmer to have his OWL
organization.
In facing the problems aheaC
three features were readily seer
as the key notes upon which lC
work First the farmer must or
ganize the marketing of his pro-
ducts to get for him an adequate
return for his efforts, second, h,
ultimately must organize tn,
farmers finances so that he car
have funds for his operations
third, the farmer must apply co.
operation in the purchasing o
his supplies.
