PEACE IS DISCUSSED

AMSTERDAM, July 5.-The reichs-

according to Berlin dispatch, The
Independent socialists voted against
all the treaties.
AMSTERDAM, July 4.-During the
debate in the German reichstag on the
Rumania peace treaty Philip Schei-
demann. the socialist leader, said that
the socialists objected to many stipu-
lations of the treaty and reserved
their attitude toward 1t. He asked
that the government take the initia-

From Randall Haylor.

Randall Haylor is in an aviation
training camp in Ohio. The follow
ing enthusiastic letter to his parents
here tells of his progress:
l am now on my cross country work
in that we get to take four pretty
good trips. Saturday took 44-mile
trip and back. 1t took me about 33
minutes to get there, but longer to
get back, for the wind was against
me. l got up as high as 500 feet.
That is more than a mile, and l cer-
tainly did enjoy the trip. The air
way up there was nice and cool and
just as smooth as glass. The ship
wouldn't even rock the least bit and it
certainly was great. That is the high
est I have ever been. Usually our
work is not done much higher than
1000 or 1000 feet and at that altitude

What a Groceryman Did

Sometime ago young man started
in the grocery business on small
scale in a nearby town. He had no
capital and was in debt for a pre-
vious sickness in his family. But
he had a cheerful disposition and
pluck and he put into bank small sums
from time to time. Today he is sup
porting family of three children;
has a stock worth $500; good trade;
a nice bank account, and credit at the
bank. We have a number of people
banking here with US who are making
good largely because of their connec-
ton with the First National Bank.
Why not join them and carry your
account here?

ports of the officers and departments
showed the best conditions yet reach
ed. Among the actions of the church
were two in which the public will be
interested: First, the church voted an
increase of 800 to the pastors salary
to begin with July. This is the second
increase within one year. Second, the
church invited State Evangelist Ward
to assist the pastor in evangelistic
meetings in January or some other
suitable time. Steps were taken look
ing to greater efficiency and larger
work. Several new families who have
recently come to Emmett have
brought new strength to the work.
The pastor will be in Boise most of
next week in attendance at the Bap-
tist Pastors Institute.

BIPARTISAN LEAGUE
HOLDS RALLY
Objects of Organization Out
lined by Congressman Baer
of Dakota

Liberty theater held good sized
audience Friday afternoon when the
first public rally of the Non-Partisan
League of Gem county was held
Some of the audience were there out
of pure curiosity, but most of them
were farmers deeply interested in the
principles of an organization which
has for it's object the betterment of
the economic condition of the farming
community of the nation. If anyone
attended the meeting expecting to
hear disloyal utterances, he was dis
appointed. Patriotism was the do
minant note in the speeches and in
the songs, and Old Glory was veIy
much in evidence.
The meeting was opened by a pray
ed by Rev. A. c. Lathrop, then pa
triotic song by a chorus and the
audience. The first speaker announced
by Richard Sutton, chairman, was j.
F. Samuels, who is the Leagues can
didate for governor, and who, the
chairman declared, would be Idaho's
next chief executive. He read a tele-
gram from headquarters, stating that
the Supreme court of Minnesota had
given decision in the Townley case,
in which it was held that the COM
plant did not state a cause of action
and ordering the case dismissed. This
brought forth a round of applause.
The principal speaker was Con-
gressman Baer of South Dakota. He
made a good talk and aroused the
enthusiasm of his hearers by his pa
triotic ulterances, his arraignment of
those who had sought to discredit the
League and his scoring of the prof.
teers and commission men who have
fattened off the toll of the farmers.
Baer is a cartoonist of ability, too
and he entertained the crowd for
several minutes with his art.
Members of the League and their
families enjoyed a picnic dinner in
the Fruit Unions packing house, Ev-
erything was free except ice cream,
the proceeds from which amounting to
5000 was given to the Red Cross.
