PLAN LARGE
SEED EXHIBIT

Boise, Idaho-"That the week of
January 1914 inclusive is going to
be a big week for the seed growers of
Idaho is clearly evident from the in
terest being shown in the state seed
show in all sections of the state" ac-
cording to B. F. Sheehan, secretary of
the Idaho Seed Growers association
THE show is to be held in Nampa
and without doubt is going to be the
largest affair of its kind ever held
west of the Rockies. To date we have
more exhibits than at any previous
show. When the time arrives / ex-
pect five to ten times as many exhibits
as ever before.
Idaho should be able to put on the
greatest seed show in the country.
When one stops to think of our rank
as seed producing state one will find
that it is second to none. What brings
the buyers from New York, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Illinois and many other
states into our state each fall? They
are after Idaho grown seed Our
clover, our alfalfa our timothy and
our peas and beans are in demand in
every section of the country. The
quality is second to none and this
TACT is recognized among the whole
of the seed trade
"A feature of the show this year is
to group and advertise the different
important seed growing sections of the
state. Many of these sections have a
national reputation but are compare
lively little known to most Idaho peo-
pie. The Grimm alfalfa seed section
of Bingham county is the best there is
Seed from this section yearly goes to
Canada. New Zealand and eastern
states. Timothy seed from Long val
ley is second to none and any seeds
man will tell you that The potatoes
of Bonner county, peas from Fremont
county clover from Twin Falls, alfal-
ia from Jerome and Gooding take their
place along with our other important
seed growing sections of the state.
Marketing is going to be the prin-
cipal topic of discussion at the show,
Speakers from outside the state who
are familiar with marketing condi-
tions will address the convention. The
state farm bureau is to meet during
the week and a representative of the
national federation will address Idaho
growers on this newly formed organi-
cation and its objects"

PLAN REORGANIZATION WORK
Nonpartisan League Leaders In SEES
sion Mt Nampa, Idaho.

Nampa.-At what was evidently to
have been a state reorganization meet
ing for the nonpartisan league at the
city hall, but which, through lack of
attendance, was later said to have
been only a county meeting, steps
were taken for continuing the work of
the nonpartisan league in Idaho Mem
berships will continue to retail at SIS
per member per annum. But instead
of having an organizer in each agri-
cultural county as has been the prac-
tice in the past, five organizers will
be allotted to the entire state And in
stead of working on a commission
basis, these men will operate on a
flat salary. The amount of their re-
Enumeration was not exactly deter
mined but it is expected that it will
be set at about 5000 per month. These
organizers will operate singly and will
go from county to county as the stu
alton requires.
Extra effort will be made to induce
townspeople to join the league move
ment, according to the decision
reached at the meeting here Instead
however, of the regular organizers do
ing this work, it was determined that
the members of the league themselves
might do better work and this phase
of league activities will be left for
them
II. F. Samuels opened the meeting
with one of his characteristic ad-
dresses in which he dwelt at consider
able length upon a pledge he asserted
to have given his grandfather upon
coming west to devote his life to the
interests of America. d. C. Droman,
introduced as the national organizer
of the league from headquarters at
Minneapolis, outlined the history of
the organization and told of the pio-
neer work work which he and Town
ley had done in getting the movement
under way.
Between 40 and so persons attended
the meeting, this number including
all of the organizers and other men in
charge of nonpartisan activities in
the state.

Savings gives Confidence

It's not only the money you have
earning interest for you in the bank
that saves you from worry.
It's knowing that you have system
for saving and can live up to it.
1t takes nerye-to spend less than
you earn-but the confidence in your
self which a growing bank account
gives you more than pays for the
sacrifice.
Fear of the dread and butter prob
lem" makes a man weak-every dollar
you can put into Savings Account
lessons the fear and simplifies the
problem.
And the earlier you start such an
account the sooner is the problem
solved, the burden removed, and con-
fidence in yourself firmly established.
We are opening accounts every day
Come in and open yours with 81 or
more.
