Gowen said: "All signs point to the
most successful fair in the II years of
our fair association. The livestock eX-
hibits which have come to be a source
of prid to Canyon county citizens will
surpass those of the past which have
so extensively and favoTably advertised
our county in the past rs the leading
livestock county of the state. The pos
session of purebred stock in all sections
of this county is now a common, in
stead of a rare condition. Its import
is obvious, for it clearly indicates our
progress in this industry.
The development of this industry
during the past II yeas has been
wonderful and the livestock sales of
livestock together with those of agri-
cultural products in this immediate To-
callty the past two years have been of
such vast proportions as to give our
city ard the country upon which 1t
draws for it's support national publ
7 city. Especially are the livestock and
agricultural products shipments which
i have gone out from this city the past
/ 80 days significance, for they truly in
deX the progress and the prosperity of
Canyon county.
The shipment of 275 carloads of
farm products, sos carloads of live
stock and two carloads of wool within
the past 80 days is notable. to say the
least. and is indicative of both Cald-
tells Proportions as a livestock CEN
ter and of the highly developed condi-
tion of the agricultural lands sur
rounding the city. These shipments
are concrete evidence of the business
coming to our city and adding to its
prosperity.
The general interest in our fair
which obtains in every community OF
our county is highly indicative of its
success, and that it will be worth
while to the county in publicity way
is not to be doubted for its exhibits
along livestock and agricultural lines
will not only show the progress we
have attained, but 1t will also demon
istrate the phenomenal prosperity
which Caldwell! and all the country tri-
butary t. it now enjoys.
THE SHIPMENTS MADE.
In order to be more explicit as tc
the significance of the shipments t
which / have referred, I will enumer-
ate the several commodities of ship.
ments during tho past 80 days. There
were 500 carloads of horses valued a.
$1,300.500; SO carloads of hogs. valued
at $4,000; carloads of sheep, valued
at $4,000; IL carloads of hay valued a
81, 400; 81 carloads of millstuff valued
at $127,400; 81 carloads of wheat val
ued at $4,000; 101 carloads of pota
toes valued at $4,000 and four carloads

total shipment of S57 carloads o
, livestock and farm products valued a
! $1,s93.40o.
Additionally. 1 would stress the fac
. that our city has developed such pro
portions as a livestock center that /
is recognized as one of the leadin,
horse and mule markets of the entir
United States.
Now, in conclusion, desire to sa.
!, that the Idaho State Fair association
has been a strong factor in the pro

MOTOR NEWS
BY the Motorist

A. P. Ellian, local agent for Saxon
cars, announced the new price on the
Saxon Six which go into effect the
first of the new year. Owing to the
increase in the price OF raw materi-
ais the price is advanced on both
models. Other cars to advance in
price are Allen $100, Mitchell $100
and Winton 5000.
The service departments of the
various automobile concerns are issu-
ing many cold weather tips which are
found to be very helpful to the aver
age motor car owner. Among the
latest is the announcement from the
service department of the Stude-
baker corporation, portion of which
follows: "The first fall of snow is
no longer viewed with alarm by motor
car owners-it is no longer the sig
nal for them to put their cars away
until spring. More and more car own
ers are coming to realize that in
keeping their cars in dead storage for
three or four months every year they
are carrying an idle investment be-
sides doing the car more harm than
good. Disuse breeds depreciation as
surely as does misuse. On cold days

MERCER COUNTY CASE
FINALLY CLEARED UP

The jury sitting on the inquest
over the exhumed body of Karl
Maier of Mercer county, decided after
deiberation for an hour and half
that he met his death by suicide.
The body of Maier was exhumed at
the order of Attorney General Linde,
who had been Investigating the death
of Maier since the middle of Novem-
ber. It was at first thought that he
was murdered and a great many ac-
cusations were made and many stories
afloat regarding the alleged crime, a
''black hand" letter figuring in the
proceedings. Pinkerton detectives
were engaged to run down the many
clues with the result that the testi-
mony at the coroncr's inquest has
fully and conclusively cleared up the
whole matter.
It is said that the motive for self
destruction was a letter the deceased
received from his sweetheart in which
she stated that she had another lover.

joy holiday dinner and few hours
recreation from the steady grind.
The local Willard expert says:
Service stations of all kinds are
springing up throughout the country
to help the motorist and the wise car
owner is the one who takes advant-
age of all the service that is offered.
This is particularly true of the bat
terry service. It is most important in
the care of the battery that the car
owner should know exactly in what
condition the battery is, whether it is
half charged, fully charged, or over
charged. Frequent and accurate
hydrometer tests are the only way
in which this can be ascertained. The
more ordinary battery troubles can be
avoided and the, life of the battery
heightened by keeping it fully
charged. For this reason then, if for
no other, the car owner should fire.
quently visit the battery station in
order that the experts may test his
battery. This, however, is but one Of
the advantages that comes from
keeping in touch with the service sta
ton. AS he comes to know them each
separate battery becomes an indi-
vidual problem to the service man.
He comes to know under what con-
ditions they are being used and are
going to be used. Having tested a
battery for a whole season or for 4
whole year he is in position at the
end of that time to state whether re-
pars or renewals are necessary to pro-
long the life of the battery. If the
car is to be stored in the winter he
will store the battery. If the ma
chine is to be run through the winter
then he can give the motorist such
advice as to keep it n the best of
condition during this trying season.
Not the least important function Of
the service station is to educate the
prolong the life of the battery. If the
terry. The advantages of this are
obvious. People don't wait until
they're dead before they go to a
doctor and there is no reason why
they should wait until their battery is
dead before they take it to battery
doctor.
