GOV. DAVIS SPElKS
At BIG MEETING N
NA|MPA LIST NIGHT
In Address Before Get-together
Gathering of Chamber of
Commerce Urges Coopera-
ton Of All Cities in Valley.

Nampa, Nov 4.-Before the greatest
crowd ever assembled in Nampa at a
civic meeting Edward +. Trefz of the
American City bureau and Governor
d. w. Davis gave inspiring talks last
night.
you people have made record"
said Mr.. Trefz. This is the largest
civic gathering for your population l
have ever seen in America. But Nam
pa is not unk nown to me and l have
come to expect great things of this
city.
raj resources" he continued, and in
the spirit manifested here / can read
a great future for this city.
But you must have enthusiasm for
your city. You must love it. IL a
man lives here who does not believe
this Is the best place in the United
States for him. the best thing you have
for him are the trains going east and
west.
And You must give great attention
to the future citizenship of your city
the boys and girls who are to be the
ruling generation of tomorrow. Moth
ing is too good for them. Give them
the best educational system possible.
Give them parks and Fairgrounds.
Give them the best opportunities you
are possibly able to give them
PREDICTS SUCCESS.
Now, you. are starting on a cam
paign to give Nampa a greater cham
Der of commerce, to organize her clti-
zenship into one great working body.
j am sure your teams will meet with
great success. Possibly you will run
across one or two men who will not
join Possibly you will run across the
man who SAYS What do l get out of
it?' Such man is unworthy of your
citizenship. Washington at Valley
Forge did not ask that question, Lin
coin. in the dark days of the civil war
did not ask that question. The boys
who went to France to fight our bat
ties and the battles of civilization did
not ask that question. Rather let us
ask What can l put into it?' In order
to make this a bigger and better city.
] am expecting Nampa to make an
other record in her great community

MERGE"
Governor Davis urged cooperation
of all the cities in the Snake River
valley to put the entire acreage under
irrigation IF we do this" he said,
we will double the assessed valua-
ton of our state and probably more
than triple our population. 1t Is an
undertaking worthy of our united et-
forts"
Governor Davis also gave an inspir-
ing patriotic talk, urging that alien
orators be curbed in the license that
has been given TO talk on street cor
ner and wherever else they wished TO
talk He cited numerous cases OF dis
turhances where the entire RESPONSE
biiity rested on people OF foreign birth
who had not even started to take out
citizenship papers.

diers and workers. will of their free WILL turn
to the placid unevenul life agriculture They
tasted the thrill of gregarous urban life they
prefer it. In few months when the farms will want
men and want them badly, there will be great difficulty
in supplying farm workers in adequate numbers. That
is almost indisputable prophecy.
One of the solutions to this very serious problem will
be found in continuation on wider basis of the part
time workers plan. The service clubs organized
in cities and towns by many different agencies composed
of men and from all walks of life did yeoman
work last and fall in going out into the fields
in the afternoons during peak load period on the
farms. In the planning and organization of this work
particularly in the states, the United States EN-
ployment Service played prominent part.
The shortage of farm workers promises to be nearly
marked in 1919 it last year The call for in
creased food production promises to be even greater
Even under the press of immediate duties it is
necessary that officers the Employment Service in the
field be prepared for this coming emergency 1t is none
too early to lay plans When you advice the Farm

to captulate go without fire protection-and has
yielded an increase of 49, effective all at this time few

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Eczema, itch, pimples,
rashes, blackheads in most cases give
way to Zemo. Frequently, minor blen-
ishes disappear over night. Itching u.s.
ually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an ex-
ira large bottle, $1.00. 1t will not stain,
is not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
