Blouses at Substan-
tial Saving.

University of idaho, Moscow, Dec.
l3 Hand designed blouses of Jap
anese silk which would cost from $50
to $3S at retail store are being made
by freshmen girls in the home econo-
mics department for from $3.50 to So.
according to an announcement made
today by Miss Katherine Jensen, head
of the department.
Each girl in this particular class
first worked out her own design in
the art department, applied it to the
material and then in the clothing de-
partment, is making the blouse.
The average student spent nine
hours in making and perfecting the
design, and from nine to IL hours in
applying it to- the cloth and in addi-
ton the time used in making the
blouse, which varies greatly.
The students each originated their
individual patterns of the design they
are to use. They are now able to
apply the design in other work.
Breakfast sets of oil cloth and
santos cloth are being made at the
cost of SIPS whereas the store price
would be at least $l2 or SIS. In the
set is a large center piece and from
four to eight plate doilies.
In addition to this work, there is

ated by the individual student, chill
dren's dresses, bibs, lamp shades,

Boise Valley farm produced some
remarkable crops during the past year
and specific mention is made in the
current issue of the Reclamation Rec
ord of some of these yields, which say
"How does yield of $62s uer acre
seem to you? This is what the grow
ers on the bottom lands along the
Boise River from Boise to Star are
getting from land planted to early po-
tatoes and celery this season, according
to reports. The net profit, it is said,
will be close to $3.50 per acre, which
is the highest profit to be realized
from any crop, unless it be head lettuce
Boise Valley celery has now reach
ed degree of popularity that it Is
competing in the markets Zof the mid

orda celery. which has long had an
established market. Owing to the un-
usual quality of the celery in the Boise
Valley this year. the wholesale price
has reached IS cents dozen. 1t is
estimated that close to 50 cars will be
shipped from this region, unless caught
by exceedingly cold weather. Last
year about 30carloads were shipped.

UNIVERSITY EXPECTED
TO WIN MANY GAMES.

That the University of Idaho can
be expected to win the major portion
of its series of % basket ball games
scheduled this winter is the word
brought from Moscow by Ted Turner
who saw the University quintet open
the season with the Potlatch Athletic
club at Moscow last weekend. The
University team ran up score of 81 to
4 in the first half, scoring almost at
will. The entire first team with the
exception of Captain Hunter, was re-
moved at the conclusion of the first
half but in the second session, the Sec
ond string men continued to outscore
the visitors.

Students to Work
Special Rate Bill

University of Idaho. Dec. 20.-Dur-
ing Christmas vacation, university
students who return to their homes
will work energct 'cally towards
creating sentiment in behalf of the
student rate bill which will be pre-
sented at the coming session of the
legislature, They will endeavor to
get in touch with every senator and
representative and are cooperating
with students of the Idaho Tech, the
Lewiston normal and the Albion nor
NAL, as the latter institution will bene-
fit the same as the university if the
measure is passed and signed by the
governor. The State Federation OF
Women's clubs is directing its ef-
forts and influence entirely in behalf
of the measure.
The Caldwell tribune., 1920-12-21

here few days ago for the purp osc
OF passing upon the budgets of the
six state educational institutions. The
budgets submitted by the heads OF
the institutions were cut heavily. A
new science hall will be asked for
he state university and a new ad-
ministration building is wanted at
the state technical institution, but
the building program as a whole was
held down. Each of the two buildings
will cost approximately 100000.
There is every indication that a
recommendation will be submitted for
a new group of building at the state
insane asylum at Blackfoot, to cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000 will
which will make it possible for the
state to issue new bonds in that sum
it is believed that the legislature will
look with favor upon the proposed ap-
preparation.
AT the capitol where the subject of
new buildings for the insane asylum
is being discussed it is said that efforts
would be made to find suitable loca-
tion upon ground now owned by the
institution for the group.
So far as known none of the other
state institutions are asking for new
buildings. Bonds, would be issued to
cover the cost of the three which will
probably be asked for, making direct
appropriations unnecessary.
Appropriations as whole will be
held down in an effort on the part of
the state administration to retrench
and this policy will apply to the de-
partments of the state government as
well as to institutions.
In keeping with this policy the city
of Boise will not attempt to entertain
on lavish scale when Governor Davis
is inaugurated for his second term, but
on the contrary will seek to make the
occasion as democratic as possible.
January Sd has been set aside as house
warming day for the new state capitol
and plans are now under way for an
inaugural ball which is to be held in
the rotunda and corridors of the COM
pleted building. No admission charge
will be made.

Fire Chief Issues
Christmas Warning
Lighting Holiday Trees
Should Be Carefully
Supervised.

Christmas trees are not without
danger according to warning issued
by Fire Chief F. NJ Cory who points
out that they are justly accused to
producing many fires. In regard to
taking precautions against such a ca
tastrophe this Christmas Mr.. Cory said
Monday:
THE Christmas season is one of the
occasions when unusual care is need
ed to safeguard against the danger of
fire. Your homes and shops should
be carefully safeguarded against every
possibility of fire during this season
where there are decorations, trimmings
or Christmas trees, as materials for
decorations are generally of light and
flimsy nature and easily caught on fire
from matches, lighted candles or de-
fective wiring However, the Christ
mas tree is the principal point of dam
ger. Keep an eye on the children
when they are near it. Keep matches
away from it and protect it in every
possible manner from fire dangers,
The only safe method of illuminating
the Christmas tree is by means of
properly installed electric lights, which
seldom cause trouble, but should be
kept free from combustible material
The tree should not be decorated with
paper, cotton and other highly inflam-
mahle material. Paper shades on cleo
trio lamps are dangerous and the cause
of many fires, both on the Christmas
tree and in shop, windows.
Temporary wiring for show win
dow displays or in the home should be
inspected by the electrical inspector
before the current is turned on.

OPEN FIGHT FOR
LOWER RATE ON
idaho PRODUCE
Local Men Attend Poca-
tello Meeting Which
Seeks Notification of
Freight Charges.

Out of the effort to obtain lower
freight rates for Idaho hay, may come
lower freight rates for all farming pro-
duce from Southern Idaho destined to
outside points. Monday, at the re-
quest of officials of the Union Pacific
railroad, meeting was held in Poca-
tello where the matter was formerly
laid before them by representatives
from practically every important ship
ping point in Southern Idaho.
John Smeed, president of the local
commercial club, H. c. Baldridge of
Parma, and representatives of several
other Canyon county shipping points,
left Sunday evening for Pocatello to
attend the meeting there. 1t is upder-
stood that in conjunction with the ef-
fort to get special emergency rate
for hay, that the Pocatello club took
immediate steps to enlarge the scope
of this attempt to include all other
farm products shipped out of the
State.
Get Lowered Rate.
Presenting the matter in outline be-
fore the railroad company, led to call
ing the meeting in Pocatello to 60
thoroughly into this problem. Not
only will Canyon county be represent
ed. but it is understood that Twin
Falls, Burley, Buhl and agricultural
districts in Southeastern Idaho will
also have representatives there.
Word was received Friday that the
interstate commerce commission had
granted the $40 emergency rate on hay
asked by Idaho producers and ap-
proved by the Union Pacific last week.
This removed the last obstacle in the
way of shipping Idaho baled hay to
middle western markets.
Friday evening at quite generally
attended meeting held at the local
commercial club where representa-
tives of practically every community
in the county were present, initial steps
were taken to send a representative
of the hay producers and shippers of
this county to Kansas City to handle
the marketing end of the hay ship
ment. Tuesday evening another meet
ing was held in Wilder to name the
man who is to take over this work.
Club To Finance.
The Caldwell commercial club vol
unteered to defray the expense neces-
sary to putting this proposition on its
feet. offering to advance money to
meet the necessary expense until such
time as it could be handled by charg-
ing those who participate in the mark
eting scheme sufficient proportion of
their sales to pay the most of market
ing. Opinion was unanimous that the
plan to eliminate the middle man was
wise. Suggestions relative to financ-
ing the venture included the belief that
the selling agent should be placed un-
der bond and that no man should be
employed who is not capable of deliv-
ering the goods.

HOLIDAY TRADE
FINDS SEEKERS
Of Gifts BUSY
Contrary = to Expecta-
tions, Throngs Crowd
Local Stores Anxious
to Purchase Offerings.

Whether or not the lower freight
rate on hay has had anything to do
with it by virtue of giving sense of
optomism hitherto not possessed or
not. the fact remains that the out
look was never brighter for a record
breaking volume of Christmas busines IS
than it is this year Three weeks ago,
Caldwell merchants were looking
rather obviously ahead, anticipating
that the holiday business would be
far below that of last year. Every
day last week, however, found the
stores crowded with shoppers, who
were supplementing their shopping by
actual purchases.
Last year it will be remembered that
bitter cold weather following an un-
usually heavy snow storm, cut into
the holiday volume of business until
just few days before Christmas and
the few remaining days that the wealth
er was favorable for holiday buying
last year were insufficient to handle
a volume of business that exceeded
that of any former year.
Uncle Sam is Busy.
Last week, the holiday rush began
in earnest. favored by mild days and
some of the finest displays of Christ
mas goods ever offered by Caldwell
merchants. Saturday is always a busy
day but it was a buster day last week
when every store in town was jammed
throughout almost the entire shopping
hours. And Monday proved conclus-
lively that it was not alone just flash
in the pan. for Monday too, found
the streets lined with automobiles.
At the postoffice from the earliest
morning hours until the moment of
closing. long line of persons anxious
to get their parcels off, await their
turns to get to the windows.
How Prices Compare.
In point of price, the general con-
dition of the Christmas trade is much
the same as year ago, although
there are expectations to this. The
most notable instances of price fluc-
tuation are found in two Fields not
even close to being allied. Mems
furnishing prices are much lower than
year ago while ivory products, toilet
sets. etc. are considerably higher.
Silk prices have also slumped a trifle
while woolen materials, aside from
mems clothing, are, if anything,
trifle above last years prices. The
quotations on toys and playthings are
pretty much the same, slight fluctua-
tons making price changes both ways
from those of year ago.
All stores have dressed their win
dows for holiday display and these
offer wide diversity in the realm of
gift suggestion. To review the win
dows here would be to needlessly
state what is obvious to the discern
ing eyes of the holiday shopper, in
tent on proper selections for her"
for him." or for the little ones. In
lieu of this. we may be granted the
privilege of personally conducted
tour of the city's principal stores,
with due attention to their windows
and their varied suggestions as to
what to give.

CHALLENGES
C. 0. P. LEAGUE STAND

CLARKSBURG, Sept. ga. P.)-
A demand that Senator Harding state
plainly and unequivocally just what
his attitude is on the league of ma
tions." was made by Franklin D..
Roosevelt, democratic vice president
ial nominee. in series of speeches in
West Virginia yesterday. Speaking in
many of the towns through which the
republican presidential nominee pass
ed on his way tosWheeling. Mr.. Roose-
yelt repeated his request, alleging that
Senator Harding's previous utterances
on the subject have been capable of
many interpretations.
Senator Harding in his speech at
Baltimore Monday night Mr.. Roose-
welt said. declared he is opposed to
going into that league. referring to
the league of nations as 1t was fash
ioned at Versailles. The people have
a right to know whether he means
specifically that league without reser-
vations or whether he means that
league regardless of what reservations
are offered. or whether as Hiram
Johnson pretends to believe. he pro-
poses to scrap the present league al
together
