Canon City Is
To Have An
''Overalls Club

For the purpose of combating the
high cost OF living. particularly the
high cost OF clothing, which is be-
lieved to be unwaTranted by general
economic conditions. and which in
many cases is almost prohibitive. a
movement has been started among
the business men of Canon City to
organize an "Overalls Club" of at
least 600 members as a protest to the
prevailing prices OF such merchandise.
The matter has been taken up with en-
thusiasm and there seems little doubt
that the desired membership can be
obtained without difficulty.
A petition looking to the formation
OF the proposed club was drawn up by
Capt. w. S. Fulkerson, undersherin
of Fremont county. this morning, and
will be circulated by him for sigma
lures. II will be presented first to the
county and city officers for their in
dorsement, after which every man in
the community will be given an op-
portunity of signing IT, II is hoped
to enlist every business and profess
sionai man. as well as all other male
citizens of the town in the movement
An effort will be made TO secure the
baehing Of the Chamber of Commerce
in the undertaking and bring the en-.
rollment UP to 1000.
While no figures have been obtained
as to the cost OF the overalls to be
worn by the members of the club, II
is estimated that they can be procured
for something like IS a suit. perhaps
little less. Those at the head of
the movement desire II to be under
stood that there is no animus nor an
tagonism to any OF the local cIothiers
or other merchants In what they are
trying to accomplish. Its purpose is
to fight what they conceive 10 be an
injustice laid upon them from other
sources which grew out of the war and
which they are endeavoring to do their
bit to eradicate. The petition.
which clearly explains what II IL
hoped to do. follows in its entirety:
I'VE. the undersigned. do hereby
place our signatures to the following
agreement and SO solmenly pledge and
bind ourselves to II storms.
That. owing to the present unrea.
sonably high cost of everrthing in
general. we. the undersigned. do agree
to abstain from purchasing any un-
article of merchandise and.
actuated by sincere wish and desire
to bring combative influence against
this before the people in a general and
practical way. influenced not by the
high cost of clothing in particular. do
agree to purchase. when in need OF
new clothing. and continue to wear,
suits OF pea green. gray blue. blue or
khaki colered denim And we do
hereby agree TO continue to wear such
clothing during the entire time that
present high cost of living continues,
It being understood that old clothes
OF any description may be worn in
lieu OF denim.
THE wearing of such clothing to
take effect at such date set on which
500 signatures Of business men and
citizens OF Canon City appear on this
petition. Be II distinctly understood
that this club is organized with the
single idea OF attempting to force
down prohibitive prices on all essen
tials Of merchandise. and not directed
as an attack upon any particular arti-

Secures Franchise of
Sugar City Club
With Players for
Sum of $3.50
NEW PRESIDENT
H larry Ch a n g n o n
Elected to Control
Organization

Pocatello is a member of the Yel-
lowstone-Snake River Valley Base
ball league as a result of meeting
held at Idaho Falls Friday night at
which the franchise of the Sugar
City club was purchased for the sum
of $3.50. Pocatello also acquired the
baseball players who were signed to
play with Sugar City.
Harry Changnon of St. Anthony
was elected to the presidency of the
league to replace DR.. Scally Of Sugar
City, who has resigned. Blackfoot
representatives made an effort to
place DR.. A. H. Mcfarland of this
city at the head of the league and
only the fact that Blackfoot is new
member of the organization prevented
his securing the place.
Blackfoot representatives intro
duced a ruling to the effect that
should any team play more than the
allotted four professionals in any
game they will be fined the sum Of
5000 for each game and also forfeit
the game. The ruling was carried
after considerable discussion and
Blackfoot representative were much
elated at the result as there are
several teams in the league who were
planning on using more than four
professionals.
The Yellowstone league is gaining
much notoriety in the east owing to
the fact that number of big time
baseball players are jumping to this
league. A two column article in the
New York Herald of last week told of
league and the talent it is securing
for the present season and compli-
mented the progressiveness of the
westerners in their efforts to secure
first class ball.

Pocatello Auto
Show Interests

BOISE, Idaho.-There is is wide
spread interest in Boise and in this
entire section Of the state in the first
annual Idaho Motor Car Show to be
held at Pocatello April 6-1O.
Auto shows in the east have be-
come fixtures on the demand and by
the support of auto owners who re-
Seive more practical benefit from at
tendance than in any amount of
reading from sales talk.
At the Pocatello show the latest
models in cars and trucks will be ex-
hibited, together with all the newest
accessories, many of which are un-
known in this field.
One Idaho inventor, Gerald Har-
vey, of Boise, will likely be repre-
sented. He has an automobile light
ing device used in turning corners.
The car is lighted safely around all
turns and curves.
The entertainment features will
include aviation stunts, with flights
between Gooding and Pocatello and
TO Upper Snake river towns, vaude-
vile shows with special programs,
dancing, band concerts, etc.
1t has been hoped to esta blish the
Idaho auto show in Boise, but the

bunch to it. While there are some
sour grapes here auto dealers and

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR BEET CROP
Mark Austin Gives Re.
view of Agricultur-
al Conditions

Mark Austin, general agricultural
superintendent of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company, issues the following
bulletin on the agricultural condi-
tions of Utah and Idaho at the pres
ent time:
The recent heavy rains and snow
storm in the valleys and mountains
have put the soil in excellent condi-
tion, and have very materially in
creased the water supply for the
coming crop season, which is very
gratifying to the farmers and sugar
manufacturers. The heavy acreage
being signed up in Utah and Idaho
in the Utah-Idaho Sugar company
districts is also very gratifying, and
the indications are that we shall not
only have large acreage this year
but good tonnage. Last year some
of the beet lands yielded rather a
light crop owing to the drouth, and
it is usually the case that heavy
crop of beets follows a light crop of
the previous year. However, very
much depends upon the farmer, as
to the results obtained. We have
abundance of moisture, as above
stated, and if the farmers get pre-
pared with their harrows and level
lers, to work the soil just as soon
as it dries enough making fine
mulch before it crusts, to retain the
moisture near the surface, there is no
reason why every farmer should not
secure a good stand of beets. We
can start planting now just as soon
as it is dry enough to prepare the
