BUYING AND SELLING COM
MITTEE OF FARM BUREAU
MEMBERS is ORGANIZED
Large Crowd Attends
the Gathering
Meeting of Spud Men Wednesday.
Bean Men Thursday and Glover
Men Friday to Discuss Question
of Pools.

In order to segregate the work of
the farm bureau proper from any ac-
tivities in buying and selling in which
1t may be deemed expedient to indulge,
a number of members of the bureau,
including a good many district chair
men met at headquarters Sunday af
ternoon and formed the commercial
committee of the farm bureau.
The object of the new organization
in the words of its constitution is ito
form buying and selling pools for
farm equipment and farm products
and to aid in the solution of any eco
nomic problem pertaining to the coun-
ty as q whole"
Only members of the county farm
bureau shall be eligible to member
ship. The only permanent officers
are chairman and secretary-treas-
urer. "An advisory committee of three
shall be selected from the members
forming any pool at the time of the
formation of the pool. Such commit
tee shall serve until the object of the
pool shall have been attained" w. F.
Alworth was elected chairman and
W. F. Edwards secretary of the new
organization. 1t is provided, however
that hereafter such officers shall be
selected by the advisory council Of
the farm bureau.
No special dues are collected for
membership. "The finances for pros
ecution of the work outlined In Article
II shall be raised as follows: There
shall be a voluntary levy made on
each pool based on a percentage of
the saving made on buying pool and
upon the gain made on a selling pool.
This percentage shall be determined
by the advisory committee of the
pool"
There were about fifty present at
the meeting The idea was held out
that through these committees stand
ardization could be attained along GER
tain lines, so that the certificate of
the Twin Falls bureau would be ac-
cepted anywhere.
There will be a meeting of the po-
tato growers tomorrow night at s
- o'clock at the Parish hall to discuss
Me matter of spud marketing and
pooling. Thursday night the bean men
will get together and Friday night
the clover growers will meet What
action will be taken at these meet
ings, cannot, of course, be determined
before hand but it is hoped to make
them successful. Whether apple mark.
citing will be taken up later or not has
not been decided.
The activities of the committee will
be separate from the work of the farm
bureau proper so that no charges fol
its operations will be made against
the government or the state.
In order to start the movement OIL
its way, until the percentage TO the
money from the wool pool can bt
made available, the sum of 1855 wa!

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator La
Toilette in the senate today advocated
conscription of wealth to the extent
of taking the burden of financing the
war off the shoulders of the poor man.
He charged that the $2,000,0O0,0O0 rev.
enue bill was unsound and would nee
essitate the issuance of billions OF
dollars in bonds. He declared that
bonds meant increased cost of living
and urged the adoption of an amend
ment making additional levies on big
incomes and war profits to bring the
total raised up to $3,500000,000.
The government must advance up
wards of $4O0,O00,0OO if it gets the
great flOtilla of the latest type OF de-
strOyer, which the naval board de-
clares to be necessary to cope with
the submarine menace. The money
will have to be advanced to the private
ship yards adapted to the construction
of destrOyers.
Secretary Lansing today denied all
knowledge of an impending loan to
Mexico of 100000, 900 by American
financiers. He said that he would dis
cuss the question should the request
be made.

The Club Lunch
Efficiency Exploited
Some Criticisms and Some Excellent
Suggestions With Regard to Past
and Future Management

The bi-weekly lunch of the CONNER
cial club was excellently well provid-
ed for this noon, at the Palace Cafe.
1t was also unusually well attended,
over forty members being present. Mr..
e. L. Ashton, who was selected for
chairman at the last meeting, having
been called out of town, the program,
so far as there could be said to have
been one, was made sort of free-for-
ala physician, heal thyself' stunt,
so to speak.
Vice President Blue called the
meeting to order, and, after stating
that he had just returned from alb
sence and was not informed as to the
subject or purpose, turned it over to
Secretary Stubs, who indicated that
the club needed an increase in
membership and enthusiasm, as well
as definite and earnest purpose, and
called on DR.. White, of the Farm Bu-
reau. The latter spoke briefly but
pointedly to the effect that every bus
mess man in the city owed it to him
self and to the community to become
a working member of this club; and
that when thus organized and animat-
ed, a union between the club and the
Farm Bureau for any specific object
would prove invincible and" conclud-
ed the doctor, make your club live
one and we will work with you in any
worthy cause"
Secretary Stubbs rejoined by say
ing, you hear this challenge; let us
qualify for it's acceptance" He then
commented further on the necessity
for union and enthusiasm in club
work. The opportunity for great
things is before us. All good results
come from teamwork. For winning
football eleven men must strive as
one Given here two or three hun
dred men working earnestly and in
perfect harmony, there is nothing pos
sible too great for accomplishment
He noted the opportunities for exhibits
referred to elsewhere herewith, indi.
Gated the need for proper advertising
and closed by an appeal for the
burial of all hammers and the insti
tuition of boosting instead of knock
ing.
Mr.. Stubbs later called upon Messrs
Hackman and Longley, each of whom
spoke briefly along the lines followed
by previous speakers-urging al
Twin Falls business men to join tn,
club and to take an active interest il
it's aims.
The secretary then announced tina
at the next meeting September 4, tn
program would be an educational one
and that DR.. Lindley, president of tn
University of Idaho, was expected t.
be present. Also that Mr. Ashton
program, CITY Building" would b
announced at later date

Council Does Much
Small Business
No "Permanent issue At Gathering
Last Night But Many Little Things
Acted On.

The council meeting last night
transacted a good deal of business in
small way, but put over nothing
big NJ. M. Murtaugh wanted small
change in the sidewalk grade at one
side of his property and as it was
declared that il would not cost the
city anything and would make the
road grade uniform, it was allowed.
The question of the grade near the
Curtis Turner place, outside the side
walk district was discussed but no
action taken on it,
The city clerk reported that there
were a couple of kicks against the
pop corn stand St Sizer's "Kandy
Knook," being put out on the side
walk. The chief of police was in
structed to determine whether any
ordinance was being violated and if
so to see that it was conformed to.
A complaint that new arrange
ments for caring for waste water on
Third avenue and Second street east
should be made, was referred to the
proper committee with power to act.
On request of the library board $500
was ordered paid over by the city.
An intentional ordinance providing
for the voting of the assessment roll
for the Elm Park sewer was passed.
An ordinance on the petition of East
Lawn residents for a sewer was in
troduced but on explanation by the
city attorney that no petition had been
put in by residents of Block l, Jones
addition, before whose property the
sewer was to run, had not filed the
required petition which they had sign
ed, the whole matter was postponed
until the next meeting.
J A petition for the paving of the al
leys between blocks Sc, 81, 1O2 anc
l03, was filed. The council agreed tC
t order it in provided that enough stee
pipe could be procured at once to pu

Good Description
Gets Stolen Car
Seattle Officials Spot Auto Taken
From This City More Than Month
Ago.

Because the description fit the car
so neatly that an effort to disguise
it was unsuccessful, a Ford roadster
of 1917 model has been restored to its
owner, c. r. Wineteer, while G. w.
Smith, on whom suspicion rested, is
in Jail awaiting his preliminary
which will be held Thursday before
Probate Judge Duvall.
The car was taken from Shoshone
street, near the Idaho theatre on the
night of July 21. A thorough des-
cription was sent out far and wide by
the sheriff. Last week a transformed
car that looked suspiciously like the
Ford roadster, was noted by Seattle
police, who took charge of it and no
titled Sheriff Kendall. Smith was al
so taken into custody. A suspicious
circumstance in the opinion of the
Seattle police was that the engine
number had been cut off of the ear.
The radiator had been frozen at one
time and holes had been cut in the
side, one of them of good size, so that
the radiator could be soldered.
Smith claimed that he purchased
the car from an unknown man and
gave his note in part payment 1t is
said that the car number purchased
by Wineteer had been taken off and
a number alleged to have been taken
from a car, owned at one time by a
man named Davis and sold by Smith
in Hagerson, had been taken from the
old Davis car and placed on the Wine
| teer car.
Altogether, the sheriffs office is be-
ing complimented for it's handy work
in this case. This is only one of the
several cases where men have been
traced far from Twin Falls since F.
M. Kendall became sheriff

Salmon Settlers
Hold a Meeting
Engage Attorney To Carry On Suit
And Vote Assessment on Members
For Expense.

The Settlers association of the Sal
man tract held meeting Saturday
night at Hollister and determined to
sccept the cooperation of the state
in the lawsuit now pending in the
United States Court. Judge j. r.
Boutwell, was selected as attorney to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of c. o. Longley.
The association voted to assess
members up to fifty cents an acre
if necessary to raise a fund to prose-
cute the suit. They all expressed the
opinion that the Intervention of the
state would clear the atmosphere and
hasten the determination of the ques-
tions at issue, so that all parties might
know their rights under the law.

BOSTON, Aug. 21.-Ten thousand
men in military uniform paraded with
firm step through the streets of Bos-

drab soldiers of the Federal army nor
the flower of American manhood
which will make up the draft army.
But along the line of march hundreds
of thousands cheered them.
The marchers were the men of

and aged veterans found the mile and
half hike a pretty stiff tour of duty
But when a resolution came up that
the annual parade-the great feature
of the National Encampment of the
Grand Army now in session here-be
omitted owing to the age of the veter-
ans, the vets" voted almost unani-
mously to parade.
The parade formed at 10 a. m. on
Commonwealth avenue. Commander
in-Chief Patterson took his position at
the head of the line. The Massachu-
setts veterans formed on the right of
the avenue and reviewed the parade at
the start. Nearly every state in the
Union north of the Mason and Dixon
line was represented in line.
Governor Samuel w. Mccall review
ed the parade as it passed the state
house, and Mayor James NJ Curley in

was built on Boston common, and here
