manufacturers of the Birdsell Glover
Huller, was in town the first of the

call, Mr.. Butler having arranged for
a little advertising campaign for this
popular machine. The company
have opened branch warehouse at
Twin Falls where they have a ma
chine on exhibition, and propose at

repairs for the same. Raisers of
clover seeds on the tract have seen
the necessity of more hullers to care
for the seed crop in the fall, and Mr..
Butler would like to take up the
matter of furnishing community hull
lers to the seed raisers on the tract.
Any letters of inquiry sent to him in
care of the Rogerson Hotel at Twin
Falls will receive prompt attention.
