IN FORCE HERE
Thiry-Five Visiting Delegates
Accomplish Big Things
At Convention

The P. E. 0. Sisterhood met in an
nual conclave in Caldwell this week,
opening three days convention Mon
day evening and closing Wednesday
afternoon.
The delegates, thirty-five in number,
were housed in Finney Hall, the girls
dormitory of the College of Idaho,
where Mrs. Paul Murphy, as hostess
and mother filled this dual office with
a grac and ease born of long prac-
tice In her work among the girls of
c. of I. The building from basement
to third floor, was beautifully decorat-
ed with flowers, the color scheme Of
yellow and white, P. E. o. colors,
being cleverly carried out with mar
guerites in the spacious parlors where
the business sessions were held.
Miss Katherine Mann, formerly of
this city, now of Emmett, presided
over the convention with dignity and
grace which merited the perfect har-
inony which marked its every DELHI
Grafton.
The program, replete with splendid
addresses and papers of special inter-
est to the Sisterhood, was pleasantly
relieved and varied by musical num-
berS and numerous readings and re-
Elected truly the high standards of
P. E. o. in the individual, in the
family, in church and in state. That
the public was barred from listening to
the discussions of some of the vital
present day problems was the pub
lies misfortune.
ne of the largest things undertaken
by the Sisterhood at large, was rails
ing the educational fund to 100000.

VOTERS OPPOSE
BOND PROPOSAL
Both Legion Building and Re.

payers DispIeasure

Caldwell voters Tuesday downed
both the American Legion proposal
for $4,000 combined Legion and
community center building and an
other bonding proposal for an amount
somewhat in excess of $4,000 design
ed to retire present deficiency war
rants drawing 7 per cent interest at
Caldwell banks. In spite of the poor
bond market the belief is held that
bonds could be obtained at less cost
to the taxpayers that this interest rate
Only in one ward, the first did the Le-
gion building proposal carry by the re-
quired two-thirds vote while the sec
ond proposal squeezed through with a
bare majority of all votes cast and
fell far short of thetwo thirds neces-
sary to cary them.
Vote Was Light
OF total registration of 1881. only
OBI votes weer cast, less than 50 per
cent of the registration. On the Mem
orial proposal, 1872 votes were cast in
its favor and 2So taxpayers registered
opposition. To carry the Memorial
building proposal on the basis of the
vote cast, SIS votes were essential
to its passage, the issue failing by
176 votes.
On the refunding bond proposal, the
vote was considerably lighter, due,
probably to the fact that many voters,
lacking understanding of the proposal,
did not register an opinion on the mat
ter In favor of the funding bonds,
Z74 votes were cast while 247 were
opposed.
According to wards, the vote stood.

DisapprovaI.

Confronted with the obligation
Of paying per cent for deficiency
warrants at Caldwell banks on
money that the city has spent for
items not cared for in last years
budget and for refunding outstand-
ing bonded obligations, the city
council at an adjourned meeting
Wednesday evening voted to ad-
vertise for sale approximately
$4,000 worth of general obliga-
ton bonds. It was these bonds
that were submitted to Caldwell
taxpayers Tuesday for approval
that they might be sold to better
advantage. Through some mis-
taken notion, taxpayers refushed
to support the bonds and now
they must be sold under the hand
leap of popular disapproval. With
the bond market in its present un-
stable condition the issue is not
expected to be sold to good adj
vantage, particularly in view of
the bond election result. Accord
ing to city councilmen, they must
be sold, however, no matter what
prices are offered for them.

An ordinance was passed declaring
an intention to pave the city hall vi
cinity and three alleys in the post
office block, the Methodist church
block and the block east of the CITY
hall.
T. E. Buckner and Presley Horne
appeared before the council to request
that an extension of the city sewer
system be made to the new state Odd
Fellows home. The matter was re-
erred to the water works committee
and the city attorney for investiga-
lion. About two blocks of extension
will be, required to serve the build
ing.
The budget for next years city
government was submitted. About
$4,000 is estimated as necessary to
conduct the work for 1921.
Bids were also asked on the bonds

THERE'S A BIG
DAY A CUMM|N'
Caldwell Determines To CeIe-
brate Fourth With Old
Time Festivities

Unanimous and enthusiastic approx
al was given the proposal o. the Cald-
well municipal band to celebrate the
Fourth Of July on Monday, July S,
Wednesday at luncheon when about
rs members of the Commercial Club
heard Fl. w. Droman, band manager,
outline his plan. Because of the fact
that no towns. with the single excep-
ton of Middleton, within a radius of
200 miles are to celebrate the Fourth
this year, the plan to observe indie
pendennce anniversary day here met
with instantaneous approval.
Everything scheduled for the day
will be under the direct supervision
of the rs members of the band Fund,
will be solicited this week to defray
necessary expenses and the band men,
bership assumes entire obligation for
any deficit that may be incurred. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Dorman, their is going
to be no deficit
Keep Out Noisy Vendors
Arrangements have already been
made with the city council to keep all
resentatives of local mercantile es-
resentatives of local merchantable es-
Establishments, off the streets during
that day. Applicants for hamburger
or soda stands will be refused licenses
unless they represent Caldwell firm
already in that business.
No effort will be made to induce
business men to close their places of
business July S. This matter will be
left entirely to the discretion of the
individual business concerns.
Among the features of the program
as now arranged is a baseball game
between Boise and Caldwell. Many
Boise fans are expected down to wit
ness the matinee since the two teams
are evidently capable of putting up
first class and evenly contested bat
tie.
Arrange Good Program
Something doing" is promised for
every minute of the day, beginning
early Monday morning and continu-
ing until midnight. There will be
mammoth parade for which cash
prizes will be given for the best dec
GRATED car, cash prizes for car of old
est pioneers, cash prizes for largest
families in parade, cash prizes for
outside school districts. The after
noon amusement features will consist
of all kinds of races and baseball
game
The morning exercises will be held
at the Memorial park-prominent
speakers and special musical features
will be provided for the occasion.
The afternoon amusement will be
pulled off in the streets of Caldwell.
An afternoon and evening dance will !
be given with band concerts and band
music galore.
All places of amusement in the city
all restaurants, soft drink dispen-
series and mercantile establishments
will remain open ito care for the
crowd that will attend.
This is new feature for Caldwell
but the band believes that the many
business houses of the city can help
entertain the people. The band as
sumes the responsibility of this propos-s
ed celebration. They and many of
their friends will do the work and ex-
pect to pull off the best celebration
ever given in Canyon county.

tors in food supply but in too many
instances the cupboard is bare.
Zone of the first, if not the first,
thing to do to an ailing tree, young
or old, is to feed it. Give the soil
about it a dressing of barn yard or
commercial fertilizer, or better still,
both. Barn yard manure is very
slow in acting and the tree will re-
ceive very little benefit from 1t for
several weeks. Nitrogen is one of the
most important fertilizing elements.
Much of the trouble from lack OF
fruit setting can be eliminated by
the use of nitrogen alone in the form
of soda. To keep up the vigor OF
the tree. however, we should supply
Phosphorous and Potassium as we'll.
If one element is less important than
+ the others it is probably Potassium.
1t is possible to determine just what
fertilizer formula will give the best
results for different fruits in differ
emit localities. On 8-4-4 formula,
that is eight per cent phosphoric acid,
per cent ammonia, and TOUR per
I cent potash is the most generally &C
cepted for apples while 7-4-3 form
ula is generally accepted for peach
es. 1t is mistake to rely on nitro
gen alone.
"As important, perhaps, as the adj
dition of fertilizers and manure fol
/ direct benefit to the trees, is the
addition of humus to the soil. Oul
soils are sadly lacking in humus. We
can supply this need by using ma

fertilizer. Fertilizers may be put on
broad cast and disced under or drill
ed in the middles between the trees.
Where there are trees of different
sizes and ages in the same orchard
or where many trees are missing 1t
might be more economical to scat
ter the fertilizer by hand around the
individual trees, putting less around
the young trees and skipping the
missing. The fertilizers recommend
ed above are usually used at the
rate Of 800 to 1000 pounds per acre.
When Nitrate of Soda alone is used
2 to 2 y pounds will be sufficient for

FEEDING FRUIT TREES
NECESSARY IN ARKANSAS

1t is Just as necessary to have all
the elements of plant food where the
fruit trees can get them as it is
to have a balanced ration for the
dairy COW, says ]. r. Cooper, horticul-
turist of the University of Arkansas.
No one would expect dairy COW,
that was forced to forage for her liv-
ing, to deliver milk in paying guam
titles. Neither can tree be ex-
pected to forage through lot of
poor soil and deliver bumper crop
of fruit.
"There are few favored spots
where the soil is so well provided
with the elements of plant food that
no additional feeding is necessary
but the orchard land of Arkansas
was not included in the lands so
blessed" says Mr.. Cooper. Our land
is VIGOROUSLY short of nitrogen and
does not have an overabundance OF
! PHOSPHORUS or potassium. We have
a wonderful climate and many other
advantages that other fruit growing
district do not have but our trees
cannot trough it" like range cat
tie. We must feed them.
Frost is blamed for a far larger
share of. the failure to set fruit thar

HOW TO PRESERVE A HUSBAND

A good many husbands are utterly
spoiled by Encouragement, Some
women go about it as if their hus-
bands were balloons and blow them
up. Others keep them constantly in
hot water. Others let them freeze
by their carelessness and indiffer-
ence. Some keep them in a stew
by irritating ways and words. 9th
ers roast them. Some keep them
in a pickle all their lives. 1t cannot
be supposed that any husband will
be tender and good managed this
way, but they are really delicious
when properly treated.
In selecting your husband you
should not be guided by the silvery
appearance, as in buying mackerel,
nor yet by the golden tints, as if
you wanted solmon. Be sure to Sc
lect yourself as tastes differ. DO
not go to market for him, as the best
are always brought to your door.
1t is best to have none, unless you
will patiently learn to cook him. A
preserving kettle of the finest por-
celain is the best. See that the linen
in which you wrap him is nicely wash
ed and mended, with the required
number of buttons and strings nicely
sewed on.
Tie him in the kettle by strong
silk cord called comfort, as the one
called duty is apt to be weak. They
are apt to fly out of the kettle anc
be burnt and crusty, since like CRABS
and Holsters, youhave to cook then
alive.
Make clean, steady fire out o.
love, neatness and cheerfulness. Sc
him as near this as seems to agre,
with him. If he sputters and fizze
do not be anxious; some husband
DO this until they are quite done
Add a little sugar in the form o.
what coHectioners call kisses, bu
