THREATEN DEALERS
WHO SHUN PAPER
Those in Control Of Non Par
tisan League Said to Con-
template Establishing Gen
eral Store at Nampa.

Nampa, May 10.--F'or the purpose
Ct Furnishing the merchants OF this
city for not advertising in the Free
Fress, the daily Nonpartisan league
paper of this city, that organization is
TO establish a mommoth cooperative
store in this city which will carry
clothing, dry goods, hardware, gro
ceries and every other commodity
known to the mercantile world, includ-
ing beefsteaks, pork chops and sau-
sage, or at least a report to this effect
was current in the business district
this morning.
According to one version, the mem
bers of the league who reside in the
country districts are SO anxious to
punish the business men for withdraw
ing their advertisements from the pa
per because of the publication in a re-
cent issue of the paper of an editorial
condoning the reasonable course of
Eugene v. Debs and of another, inter-
rreted as indorsing the mailing of
bombs to government officials, that
they are anxious to install the store at
once. but that w. G. Scholtz, manager
OF the paper is impressed that further
time should be given them in which to
of 1t before the store is established and
that with much difficulty he is pre-
venting immediate action by the men,
bers Of his organization.
ATTEMPT AT COERCION
In the meantime each issue of the
paper advertises that certain spaces
are being held for certaN mercantile
lines and that the members of the
league will patronize those utilizing
that space. Business men OF the city
interpret this as an effort at coercion
and as a result are giving but slight
consideration to the effort. Some of
them hint that in addition to opposing
the SociaIistic policy of the paper that
they consider it's advertising rates are
not commensurate with it's circulation
in their territory.
TALKING 1T OVER
A meeting which was participated in
by some five or six of the members of
the league was held at their state head
quarters this morning and according
TO one report the attitude OF the busl-
ness men towards the paper and the
feasibility of opening up a co-opera-
tive store to compete with all of them
formed the themes of discussion. Just
what occurred could not be ascer-
tanned. However, it may be stated that
the merchants are taking the story OF
the proposed establishment of the
many angled store with salt and per-
eist in not lapsing into a condition of
perturbation.

The need for farm labor this year,
during the harvest, promises to be es-
pecially pressing. Kansas has IL, OOO.-
600 acres of wheat to be harvested,
and it is estimated that 10000 men
from outside of the farms will be
required for the work. Because of
high passenger rates on the various
railroads, il will be necessary to draw
these men from nearby points. In the
past. railroads granted a fare of one
cent a mile to harvest labor, and it
was then possible to bring men from
as far east as Pittsburgh; but this year
the railroad administration refuses to
grant a reduced rate to farm labor.
According to late reports, the wage
this year will be from So to IS per day,
with board and lodging thrown in.
Thus is the farmer compelled to pay a
part of the cost of government opera
tion of railroads. Perhaps after all
the $2.26 guaranteed price of wheat is
not too high.

What seems to be the aim of the
government and the wage earners is
to absorb and distribute for immedi-
ate consumption the profits of CAPT
tai. But the profits of business are
what carry on development. The
great oversight of those who are criti-
cal Of the existing order is in not rec
ognizing that the profits of capital
when turned back into industry re-
dound to the benefit of labor. They
increase the demand for labor, which
lis the surest guaranty of employment
and rising wages. and they increase
the supply OF all goods on the mar
ket, which is the surest guaranty of
better conditions for consumers. The
wage earners gain at both ends, for
they constitute the great body of con-
sumers. The government also will get
it's share, but without putting handi-
cap on business.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: For some
time l corresponded with a young man
and learned to care greatly for him.
He stopped writing to me several
months ago and l did not know why.
Last week l received a card from him
with this verse on it:
Tho we are living far apart
You still are dwelling in my heart, (,
So on this joyous Easter day
loving thought l send your way.
| don't know what to think or do
Please advise me. LONELY
Ignore the card. If the young man
cares as much for you as his card in
dicates, he will follow the card with
letter, asking you to correspond
again.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am very
forgetful and do not have lessons at
all well. What can L do to remember
better? l try to get my mind on it,
but can't. Please give me a little adj
vice. SIEEPYHEAD
There are various books on the sub
ject of concentration and memory
training. If 1 were you l would read
on this subject. You will get many
helpful suggestions. Your trouble is
lack of will power. Go off by yourself
and study for a definite length of
time, If you decided upon an hour
remain an hour. Your whole life will
be so much more worth while IL you
learn to concentrate now.
