PLANS OUTLINED TO
HELP THE PRODUCERS
General Committee Named
at Meeting Of Farmers
and Business Men to Have
Charge of Work in Ada
County.

That Ada county business men and
farmers are alive to the need OF quick
work in speeding up increased pro-
duction to prevent food shortage,
was demonstrated Saturday afternoon
when 200 men and few women gath
cred in the county court rooms and
discussed ways and means of making
time and seed count for a harvest this
fall.
The meeting was called by County
Clerk Utter upon suggestion of Gov
ernor Alexander Harvey Alfred. farm
markets director. was chosen chair
man. Briefly he called attention to
tho large amount of alfalfa which has
been winter killed in Idaho, the fact
that farmers had been Obliged to feed
their seed grain to keep life In their
stock. that stock losses had been
heavy, that there was shortage of
grain seed. potato seed men to work
and teams to farm and that 1t was up
to the people to devise ways and means
of meeting the existing conditions and
getting quick action II Idaho was to
produce Its quota OF crops this season.
Mr.. Alfred called attention to the
fact that Canada was Offering such
liberal Inducements to settlers that
they were going into that country
from washington, Montana and Ore
gon by the hundreds, thus leaving a
scarcity OF help in the northwest. He
stated 1t was suggested that help could
be secured from the Mexican border,
IL 1t was necessary, but at present tho
big question was the planting of
crops, the helping Oh farmers needing
assistance, the procuring of teams
with which to do work and furnishing
help where most needed.
CENTRAL COMMITTEE NAMED.
No time was lost In getting down to
business. Mayor Hays, Colonel Il

Soft Landing Saved Two Lives in
Auto Accident in Topeka.

Joseph Sander and Max Stone, both
of Kansas City, were injured about Z
o'clock Friday evening when the Ford
they were driving struck the side of
a Santa Fe train at the Fifteenth

into a sand pile forty feet from the

their lives. Stone suffered a deep cut
upon his neck and Sander was cut
and bruised but neither is in danger
Gus condition. They were taken to
the Santa Fe hospital.
People who saw the accident say
the train was running not more than
twenty miles an hour while the Ford,
speeding to make the crossing ahead
of the train, was making probably
thirty-fiVe miles an hour. The engine
bell was ringing, also the crossing bell.
The Ford struck the side of the bag

automobile, the tenders and radiator
were crushed.
Sander and Stone gave their Kan

Young men one of the most interesting
hours of instruction they have receiv-

Friday afternoon when he lectured
them on the duties of handling men
successfully.
The students were massed in a body
in the hall, and Colonel Rivers, from
his stand on a tool box, talked to them.
There was never more quiet
audience in the world. Each student
seemed to realize what little he knew
of the gigantic task that was before
him. and each seemed to absorb the
words of wisdom as they came from
the years experience gained in the
field by Colonel Rivers.

rank never made a man." he said. Tn

does not change him fundamentally.
Remember that it is up to you to JUS

worthy of it. and the higher the grade
you attain the more you will have to
justify yourself and show that success
does not turn your head and that you
are worthy of the honor bestowed
upon you.
