COUNTY AGENT
WILL CON T|N[|F
HIS WORK HERE
Geo. Dewey Announces
Determination to Re-
main on Job, Renounc-
ing Intention to Stay.

GEORGE Dewey, county agent, who
announced some time AGO that he
would discontinue county agent work
the first of the year to enter private
business, has reconsidered and will re-
main in this work for the time being
at least, according to statement made
thursday morning. Reorganization
OF the farm bureau through its affili-
alton with the national organization
and enlargement of its scope of ac-
tivities to include work in marketing
through cooperative effort which
promises greatly enlarged field of
activity during the coming year,
prompted Mr.. Dewey to reconsider
his determination to leave the work.
Pressure was also brought to bear
through the membership of the coun-
ty farm bureau to induce him to re-
main.
Mr.. Dewey has been active head Of
the Canyon county farm bureau for
almost two years, having taken up the
work following the resignation of R.
II. Musser, who became associated
with the state staff of farm bureau
leaders.
In carrying out the enlarged farm
bureau plans for 1921, all-day meet
ings will be held shortly in every
school district in the county. These
meetings will be featured by the in
auguration of practical methods to
insure more favorable marketing con-
ditions for southern Idaho crops. 1t
is proposed to make statewide mar
keting associations for producers of
all important crops and to handle the
disposal of such crops in somewhat
the same manner that has led to the
unqualified success attending the or
ganization of similar selling methods
in California.
New Years day, the customary all
day meeting at Lone Star will be
held and big oyster dinner will be
served. This is regular annual COM
munity event but this year further
ance of the farm bureaus enlarged
program will be given consideration.

HAY SITUATION
STILL MUDDLED
LOOK TON0RTH
Try Now for Lower
Rates to New Markets;
Preparations Made to
Begin Baling Shortly.

Considerable criticism has arisen in
this county relative to the attitude
taken by Leonard Way, rate expert
with the public utilities commission,
who is quoted as being opposed to any
effort to obtain reduction in the $ll
per ton freight rate now in vogue be-
tween southwestern Idaho and north
ern Idaho market. Mr.. Way pointed
out in letter addressed to the Sand
point Chamber of Commerce that on
the basis of present quotations in
northern Idaho of $3.50 per ton for
hay, it was possible for growers in
this section to market their hay in
that part of the state despite the high
freight rate.
Local hay producers point out. how
ever, that Mr.. Way was wrong in as
Stunning that northern Idaho offers a
$3.50 market, that this price is pro-
hibitive and that dairymen in eastern
Washington and northern Idaho. who
are the leading consumers, are selling
their stock rather than pay that price.
1t is, also pointed outh that an So per
ton quotation locally for hay simply
means that it will be turned and not
that there is profit in selling the hay
at that price by growers here.
Asks Lower Rate.
Efforts are now being made to ef-
feet reduction in this rate to north
ern Idaho. In the face of $40 rate
10 middle western points, local men
interested in the hay situation express
the belief that the $ll rate to north
ern Idaho is altogether too high.
Thus far, no large amount of hay
has been sent out. One car, destined
for northern Idaho. was to have left
Wilder Thursday. Baleing will prob
ably be undertaken shortly, however,
as several operators are preparing to
put their machines in the field.
At meeting to be held in Wilder
Monday evening, the situation will be
thoroughly reviewed and what further
action is to be taken will be decided
upon. Thus far. Jim Smeed, who was
to have beensent east to represent
shippers here, has not gone awaiting
a definite settlement of market condi-
tons. A slight slump in Kansas City
quotations following closely on the
heels on the reduction in the freight
rate practically eliminated that market
for the present.

TEACHER IS MARRIED.

Miss Mildred Banks, a Canyon
county teacher, was married to Scott
Brown of Wilder at the Banks home
in the Fargo community Christmas
evening. The house was beautifully
decorated by Stanley Banks of boise
and the ring ceremony was performed
by Rev. Ewing. The young couple
were the recipients of many useful
and beautiful presents. They left on
the night train for Portland for a
short honeymoon, after which they
will be at home on the groom's ranch
near Wilder. 81

BUSINESS HOLDS
At POST OFFICE
FIGURES REVEAL
This Year Promises to
Better 1919 Record (;
Holiday Trade Marked
by Final Rush.

Business slumps have nothing to dc
with the post office receipts according
to James Ford local postmaster. De.
spite the loss of two rural routes, those
at Huston which formerly went out
of this office and the fact that a re-
duction has been made in the postal
rate, the 1920 business through the To-
cal office will probably exceed that OF
last year, according to a statemen,
made by Mr.. Ford Thursday. Last
year which far exceeded any single
fiscal year in the volume of business
transacted, postal receipts showed a
total of more than $4,000. Seventeen
per cent of this gross amount was de-
Quoted, however, because of its nature
as revenue stamps and because of a
lproportionate reduction resulting from
the war measure, three cent postage
rate then in vogue. In spite of this re-
duction, the total postal receipts for
1919 aggregated $2o,7O7, just $50
short OF the amount required before an
office can be admitted into the first
class
This year, in spite of the business
depression and the loss of the two
routes now centralized. at Huston, pos
tai receipts will probably exceed the
1919 business through the local office,
according to Mr.. Ford Only in one
month has the total fallen below the
1919 standard. December is, of course,
as yet undetermined but Mr.. Ford be-
ieves that the volume of Christmas
business will equal, if not exceed that
of last year. Last December, Cald-
well people spent $4,000 during the
month with the post office.
Final Scramble.
One of the remarkable features of
this years holiday rush was the fact
that the greater share of business was
done during the two days immed lately
preceding Christmas. Mr.. Ford ex-
pressed the belief that many persons
who had fully decided not to send
Christmas presents this year, changed
their minds at the last moment. At
any rate, most of the packages which
went through the local office were
mailed so late that there was no pos
sibility for them to reach their destina-
ton before Christmas Day.
In general, however, the Christmas
trade was handled more expeditiously
than it was in the past by the post
office department, not only Caldwell,
but over the nation generally. Most
packages were so mailed and cared for
that, even when the destination was
remote, single package was never
handled more than three times.
Five years ago when Mr.. Ford be-
came postmaster at the local office,
the annual business ran in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 This year prom
Uses to exceed $4,000, which means a
net increase of 100 per cent in five
years. These figures are taken as be-
ing fairly indicative of the rapid deve-
lopment of Caldwell and the tributary
territory.

CAMPAIGN
WILL COST C. O.P.
FIVE MILLIONS
Charges Liquor Interests
Seek Cox's s Elec-
ton

CHICAGO, August 3O.-The SEN
ate investigation of Republican and
Democratic campaign expenditures
started here today. At the outset
Chairman Kenyon introduced news
paper accounts of Governor JCox's
speech at Pittsburg, the committees
telegram to Governor Cox and his
reply.
Republican Chairman Hays was
the first witness. He said he wei
coined the opportunity to set forth
the efforts of the Republican ma
tional committee and then gave de-
tails of the plans for raising money
by getting small contributions from
great number of persons; that the
plan grew out of a real desire to
work a real reform and because the
l'experience in raising funds for was
purposes had made popular drives a
familiar activity"
Senator Kenyon asked Chairman
Hays of the committee received any
contributions from corporations. The
latter replied no.
Replying to question, he said he
estimated the campaign cost about
$5, 100000, including million spent
in state campaigns.
Chairman Hays submitted a letter
from George T. Carroll, as "presi-
dent of the New Jersey Association
of Liquor Interests" and read SEN
tences soliciting funds to carry on
Cox propaganda with the ultimate OBJ
ject of obtaining an amendment to
the Volstead law. The letter refer
red to Cox as a pronounced wet"
Hays charged the Democratic or
ganization planned to raise "fve to
| ten millions" to finance its campaign.
He said the statement of a fifteen
million dollar corruption fund" OF
which Governor Cox speaks, lis as
! false as it is libelous." He denied
he ever heard of the so-called quota
| sheet"
