 Beverly here began showing signs of reviying. Sue opened her eyes, saw Strong and smiled weakly, but with confidence.
 "Oh, must get to the home of my uncle"' cried the girl. Strong offered to escort her there.
 Old Thomas Clarke when he recog nized his niece. whom he had not seen for many years, stretched his arms out appealingly to her. while Strong stood at the open door, neryously fumbliug lis cap and seeking an excuse for de parting.

He entered the secret pasEageway and re- turned with a carved mahogany cas- ket under his arm.
 That's it" cried Clarke when he saw the casket. Tt contains my treas ure-what ] have saved for you, Bev- erly--what The Secret Seven must not get"
 Al that moment the butler entered the room and said Dr. Zufph was out side. Strong and Beverly, with the casket, fed through the secret passage way

 While these events were taking place upstairs William Strong and Beverly were on their way to her home, where he was presented to Mrs Clarke. The grateful girl began recting her adven- lures, when William interrupted.

SOME OF THE SUBJECTS CONSID-
Erred AT THE COMMERCIAL
CLUB MEETING
COMMITTEE OF 5
BUSINESS MEN
Last Thursday Evening Meeting Was
Largely Attended and Full Of Pep.
Farm Bureau Demands Voiced and
Committee Appointed.

Pursuant to call first given through
the TIMES, a generous representation
of Twin Falls business men and
springling of farmers assembled IN
the rooms of the Commercial club on
Thursday evening of last week. Fifty
five were present shortly after eight
o'clock when Mr.. G. A. Robinson, by
request, assumed the duty of chairman,
and that number was doubled little
later. The chair after a pause for sug-
gestions, introduced the president OF
the County Farm Bureau, DR.. j. E.
White, who came, as he understood,
with a message.
DIR. White, upon taking the floor
and extending the comforting assur-
ance that his feet were clean, ad-
mitted that he came with a message
representing, not Dr. White, but the
six hundred, and soon to be two thous-
and, members of the new organization
of Twin Falls county's farmers. There
had not been, the speaker thought, in
the past, the consideration shown nor
the assistance given by the town
people to the country folk that the
real community of interest between
them warranted; and he proposed
then and there to state some of the
problems and purposes of the latter
upon which he demanded a showdown
from the former.
without attempting to follow the
exact course of DR.. Whites talk, dur
ing which with some iteration but in
good spirit and with great forse and Ell
fectiveness he made his successive
points, we will simply enumerate them
as follows:
1.-The so-called "tin money" at
which "our women" have long felt
angry and insulted.
2-The farm loan," and the organ
ization necessary by use thereof to
bring 100000 into the county at a re-
duced rate of interest.
3.-The So per ton contract with
the sugar factory for beets
4.-The selling farm lands to unde-
sirables, and thus destroying the So
cial peace and unity of rural neighbor-
hoods.
The speaker dwelt upon each OF
these topics, explaining what it meant
to those for whom he spoke and de-
claring that the needed sympathy and
assistance of the townpeople had not
made itself felt-indeed that the ap-
pearance had rather been of opposi-
ton 'Now," he concluded, "if yor
mean harmony and union, wake up!
Individual encouragement m a n
nothing. We want a collective ex
ression-something that will have
weight and character. Now, what are
you going to do about it?"
After some desultory discussion, Mr.

FUNERAL OF CARMAN
COX HELD TODAY
Body of Prominent Twin Falls Girl
Laid to Rest This Morning in Twin
Falls Cemetery.

Kathryn Carmen Cox, oldest daught-
er of Mr.. and Mrs. F. R. Cox, was born
in Chicago, ILL.,, September 10, 1895,
and died in Long Beach, California, on
March 20, 1917.
She came to Twin Falls with her
family in 1910 where she has lived till
last October. when her mother took
her to California, hoping to find sue
cessful treatment for the dreaded dis
ease of diabetes, which caused her
death.
She was graduated from the Twin
Falls high school in 1913. In March.
1915 she went to Chicago to develop
the wonderful talent she possessed as
reader. While there she was strick-
en- and had to give up her studies.
Carmen was happy, lovable girl I;
straight, forward and staunch in all
her ways. Her family will sadly miss
her glaad smile and CHEEKY word, but
the house will feel her presence and
influence always.
The long brave fight she made
against death won the admiration and
sympathy of all her friends. The fun
enral was held Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock at the Catholic church, af-
ter a Requiem Mass conducted by the
Rev. Father Hahn. The remains were
laid to rest in the Twin Falls ceme-
terry The active pall-bearers were
Messrs. Revere Tabor, Leslie Epler,
Dave Girdner, Earl Schensberger, Will
liam Wagner, and Lyle Dovery. The
honorary pail bearers were: Mesdames
Taber, Wagner. Scheneberger, Seuhr.
Girdner, and Miss Amos.

pathy of the entire community in this.

FLOWERS AND FOOD.
MU[TUM IN PARVO
Six Hundred Twin Falls School Child
rem Are Agriculturists This Year.
A Wonderful Development.

Meeting a TIMES representative on
the street recently Prof. Musser, Of
the high school agricultural depart
ment, handed over a shoe-box he was
carrying and said, "lift thatl" AS
that" sagged nearly to the pavement,
he was asked, what in the world is in
it?" zone hundred and twenty-sev-
en- dollars" was the response. "most-
ly penniesl" And thereby hangs a
tale-a very interesting one, the
TIMES thinks.
For, upon further investigation, it
developed that the money was about
to be sent to a Cleveland, Ohio, insti-
tuition, known as The Children S
Flower Mission, in payment for penny
packets of flower and vegetable seeds
for six hundred different children be-
longing to our public schools; and
this, in turn, means that a spot of
beauty, or profit, or both, will adorn
the door yard of six hundred homes in
Twin Falls and vicinity If the great
est man in the world is che who made
two blades of grass to grow where
but one grew BEFORE" what shall be
said OF this achievement?
AS to the "Flower Mission" it orig
mated but a few years ago in the ef-
forts and demands of one Sunday
school class; next year other classes
demanded seeds, and so on until it now
serves the children of the nation-600,- :
900 of them-to packets of seeds at one
penny each. One of the grade teach
ers in our public schools first sent
two or three years ago, for a compara-
lively few seeds for children of her
own room. But the infection spread
so rapidly as soon to call for centrali-
zation-with the result indicated here
in. Last year, as Prof. Musser in
forms us, one girl sold from plot one
rod square, twenty-five dollars worth
OF flowers and egetables-enough to
nay for the summers music lessons fo1
both her sisters and herself. This

GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS ASKS

PETROGRAD, March 27-Grand

strongly urged on Captain McRoberts
the securing of as many recruits as
possible for the company. Married
men are not wanted at this time
though they may be later on. At pres
ent it is believed that the young men
should join "Take all that you can
get" was the injunction of the COM
mander of the Idaho regiment. All
the officers and men of Company d de-
sire to have as many as possible join,
and the sentiment seems almost
unanimous among the people. A num-
Der have already signified a desire to
join and they will be examined as
quickly as possible. 1t is felt that if
the sentiment in favor Of enlistment
in the cause of the nation and human
rights, so freely voiced on the streets
can be crystalized, the company will
be filled in a couple of days. Many
who appear TO be wholly sincere ex-
pressed patriotic sentiments and a
willingness to join, who seem to lack
the self confidence necessary to take
the step. The assistance of the people
in general in encouraging the enlist
ment of such as these and of all
young men eligible, it is believed. will
result in securing a large number of
recruits.

TWIN FALLS WINS
IN BOTH DEBATES
Defeats Both Boise Teams BY Unani-
nous Vote of the Judges in Both
Instances.

The inter-scholastic debate, between
poise high school. and Twin Falls
high school, on the question, Resolved
that the United States should adopt a
system of universal military training,
similar to the Swiss and Austrian
systems" resulted in victory for
Twin Falls. The negative team of this
city, of which Robert Edwards, Phil
ip Buck and Otto HOPPER were mem
bers, convinced all three judges that
the system was not plausible. The
affirmative team, Theodore Bowen,
Michael Thometz and Tom Irwin con-
vinced the judges at Boise that the
system was suited to the needs of the
country without doubt. For the first
time in high school debate in this
section, all six judges were convinced
of the debating efficiency of any one
school Those of the affirmative team
of Boise were Patricia Whalen, Joel
Priest, and Earnest Stoops; the mega
tive team, John Greenlee, Inez Gallo
way and David Williams.
The local affirmative team, empha-
sized industrial and political effici-
ency, democracy, and physical and
mental benefits, as chief reasons for
the adoption of the proposed system
The local negative argued. for inter
nationalism, league to enfore peace,
and offered a substitute plan.
The Boise affirmative gave practic-
ally the same argument as the Twin
Falls affirmative and larger and bet
ter equipped army.
From the standpoint of evidence and
effective debating, the judges consi6-
cred the Twin Falls team best equip
ped.
The coach Of the Boise negative was
Miss Brigham The coach of the af-
firmative was Miss Minis, who accom-
panied the team to Twin Falls
M. G. Mitchell, coach of both local
| teams, accompanied the affirmative to
Boise. The success of the debaters is
largely due to his thorough coaching.

National Guard called out yesterday in
his division. In the west Major Cen
eral Bell has appointed Captain John
w. Murphy censor.
Two Germans were taken from a
train at Chicago and placed under ar
rest, both being said to be badly want
ed by the government 1t is believed
they are German spies or else escaped
sailors.
According to an official of one of
the largest American banks. the Uni
ted States would be able to loan the
allies five billions without affecting
the financial situation in this country.
He expressed the opinion that Ameri-
can gold can end the war. This
amount is sufficient, he says, to pay
the entire cost of the war for France
and England one hundred days. or
enough to build 3OS dreadnaughts

sued orders to all reserve banks to
pending congressional action, assur-
ing them that the reserve board would
stand behind them
Extraordinary precautions are be-
ing taken at Washington to guard the

SAYS GERMANS ARE
SUFFERING SEVERELY
Letter From German Who Has Just
Returned Describes Conditions in
The FatherlaRd.

Jack Modrell is in receipt of a let
ter from an old friend who has Just
returned from a visit to his old home
in Germany, and writes of conditions
here as he found them, says the Filler
Journal. Among other things he
says:
Il have been back to the old home
in Germany to visit my brother as he
is very old and can't stay on this
world much longer. But 1 tell you,
Jack, l never want to see that place
again. 1t is terrible, and one can't
get enough to eat even in the high
class hotels. You are limited to just
so much to eat and that is very little
tell you. 1t is awful to see the wom-
en- and children lined up waiting for
little piece of bread what any one
in America wouldn't feed their dog
1t is hard for me to leave my brother
there, but he is not in bad standing
and didn't want to come home with
me on account of his age. But I tell
you Jack it is something horrible in
that place now, the old home amt
home any more. l am on my way
home but won't be there before three
weeks as l am going by Saltwater
Oklahoma, first. Well Jack 1 could
write for a week and not tell you half
what I saw on my trip, but it is toe
bad too. From your old friend,
