Cooperative Crea m cry
Company Announces That
Proposition Will Be Taken
Up at Annual Meeting.

Meridian, Nov. 15.-The movement
for the establishment of milk con-
densery in the Boise valley which has
been in progress for some months past
has been given an increased impetus
by the announcement of the CO. opera
tive Creamery company, the head
quarters of which is located in Boise,
that it proposes to initiate efforts to
install such an industry here early in
the beginning of the coming year. Ac-
cording to the statement of L. J..
Washburn, manager of the local cheese
factory Of that company, this morn
ing the proposition is to be taken up
at the annual meeting of the board of
directors Of the company in January
and that all indications point to favor
able action by The directors.
Mr.. Washburn states that to begin
with the company contemplates sucn
plant as would consume not less than
10000 pounds of milk daily. He takes
a highly optimistic view of the propo-
sition which HIS company is consider
ing and emphasizes the fact that the
local plant is now purchasing milk
from approximately 1000 farmers of
the surrounding country, and through
it's CO. operative methods is capacitated
to greatly increase it's present patron
age.
$500 A DAY FOR MILK.
In this connection Mr. Washburn
called attention to the local plant being
only one of several plants operated by
his company and from which milk
could be secured for the important in
dustry contemplated. At the present
time the local industry is expanding
among the farmers of the Immediately
tributary country about $500 day for
milk. The amount of milk taken in
daily now closely approaches 10000
pounds a day.
That Mr.. washburn reflects the
purpose OF his company in the state
ment made today by him is evidenced
by notices sent out by its central office
in Boise to It's stockholders notifying
them of the annual meeting in which
is embodied advice not to contract
their milk to any competitive company
until after the January meeting.
FINE DAIRY SECTION.
II Is no secret that a number of i'm
portant milk dealers are considering
the installation of such an industry in
the Boise valley because of the gen.
eral recognition which exists through
out the northwest that the valley is
one Of the finest dairy sections to be
found in the entire United States and
the present trend Of development
| points to it's early establishment
Farmers throughout the valley are
highly Jubilant over the interest which
is being manifested in the proposed in
dustry both by local people and outside
capitalists and declare that 1t fore
casts great future for this section of
the state along dairying lines and
many Of them express 1t as their opin-
ion that this industry is destined to be
| its dominant one.

There he showed that no previous promotion
had been an accident; that what he had OBJ
tanned he had earned; and that the best rea-
son for his position then was, that he was
better fitted to fill it than any other man
around him.
He did splendid work at Vera Cruz He,
on the border for two years as commander-in-
chief of the army there, performed eminent
service, within the limitations which his gov
eminent drew around him; and we can well
imagine how his stormy soul must have chat
fed while he was withheld from doing what
he clearly saw ought to be DONE
He is gone. His summons came as quick
ly as it would have done on the battle line
but his history was made secure by his own
acts. And when the names Of the heroes who
have made our country illustrous are called
high up in the wonderful list will be the
name Of General Funston.
May his deeds in his country's service
be woven into a wreath on which his head
may resin peace forever.-Goodwins'

David r. Atchison n representative from

Sunday, March 4, 1851. Under the law at
that time Folks administration closed with
March 3, and TAYLOR, his successor, being n
very religious man, refused to take the oath
of office on Sunday; hence the house of rep
resentativce selected Mr.. Atchison as the
nominal president for the day ad interim.
No man ever went from the United States

Lincoln was the best loved president and
Washington the most admired. The latter

the former is our most perfect type Of the

MAKING PRESIDENTS

It is interesting to note anent next weeks
inauguration ceremony that for the first time
in "a years, and for the second time in our ma
TONS history, n democratic president sue
ceeds himself. Andrew jackson, first elected
in 1923, was the first, and heretofore, the only
democrat to occupy the white house for more
than four consecutive years. Grover Cleve-
land served two terms, the only non consec-
utive terms ever served by any president.
Never before has president and vice
president been elected with each failing to
carry his home state Not only did President
Wilson lose New Jersey but Vice President
Marshall failed to cary Indiana. Heretofore
James K. Polk was the only candidate ever
elected to the presidency with his own state
Tennessee, voting against him.
Vice President Marshall is the first IN "
wears to succeed himself to that office. 1t
has been an even hundred years since both
president and vice president have been re-
elected. President and vice president have
succeeded themselves only twice before. John
Adams was reelected with Washington and
Daniel D. Tompkins was reelected with Mon
roe. In only two other instances has vice
president been reelected: George Clinton
served one term with Jefferson and was re-

GENERAL FUNSTON

He was the Sheridan type Of man. When
in action he seemed Utterly reckless Of re-
suits, until those about him learned that ev-
cry detail had been carefully considered, and
arrangements made; so that what seemed
like reckless disregard Of possible results,
was but the swift execution Of well-laid plans.
What he was, he made himself He was
born with a superb brain. He absorbed pat
riotism as he grew, and all his efforts were
backed by that patriotism which encompass
sed all his country, and caused him to cheer
fully dedicate his sacred honor, and his life
in its defense.
He began his career in obscurity; when
his summons came he was major general.
Every honor and promotion that had come to
him he had earned in advance by the prompt
ing of subtle brain, and the devotion Of an
earnest sincere soul.
His first great work was in the Philip
pines, which was purely soldiers work. The
second great work was in the chaos made by
the earthquake and fire at San Francisco

PLENTY OF GUNS FOR ARMING
MERCHANT SHIPS BUT SHORT MEN

Washington, Feb. 2.-duns and ammunl-
ton are available at navy yards on the At
lantic coast for all American meehant ships
which may have business in the submarine
zones. The guns are those held=in reserve
for the arming of naval auxiliaries IN time OF
war; but they could be used for the defen-
sive armament for merchant ships.
Naval officials appear to agree that con
voying is not practical step. It is pointed
ont that the British have not found it de-
sirable Use of navy ships for the purpose
would break up the fleet organization and
render much more difficult the task Of keep
ing the service ready for actual war. 1t would
also complicate any stragetic use of the fleet.
A problem of arming merchantships in
addition to providing guns is to find crews.
If navy gun crews are placed aboard the yes
sells, it is argued they would become national
vessels Many regard that course as being
in effect war move. On the other hand it
is argued that the loaning of guns to private
companies and the employment by those com
panies of civilian gun crews would not ma
tionalize the vessels.
The guns at the navy yards range from
3-inch to 6-inch, and it has been held by this
and other governments that the mounting Of
