Have you seen the Cardinal? One
of these beautiful birds has made it's
home il the village this winter and
those who have been favored with his

kindness. The general color of the
male bird is red the head being YER
million, and only small portion of
the plumage around the base of the
bill being black. The feathers of the
crown are long and erected into a
conical crest like a red cap. His ma

varied song is to be heard chiefly in

THE BAND.

I wonder how many of our citizens
have given any thought to the Cald-
| we'll band. also wonder how many
OF our citizens realize the time labor
and money put forth by these band
members in order to please and salts
fy the public during concert season
and to provide good musical organ
ization.
also wonder how many of our cit
liens realize the publicity Caldwell
derives from the reputation of the
band. ! wonder again. how many OF
our citizens realize that the bands
musical director has the reputation
of being the most competent director
and accomplished musician in the
northwest. | also wonder how many
of our citizens realize the band re-
quires some of the same gold and sill .
yer to meet their expenses that you
and I need to conduct our business.
The writer had the pleasure of at
tending rehearsal of our band on
the third floor in the city hall last
Monday evening. Here is what
found. Twenty-four men and boys
meeting weekly under the dictatorship
of Mr.: ]. ]. Smith, recently of the
great Calumet Hecla band of Calumet
Mich. These men, 20 of them and
four boys seated in regulation band
style. hats off, eagerly and silently
listening to the directors instructions
and watching his battoon, beginning
at 7:3O and practicin9 until 10 with
but five minutes recess. putting in
nearly three hours of hard work.

played, l found such high class selec-

Serpents" by Elorado Baccaroria,
Morning Noon and Night in Vienna"
by F. Suppe and several other COM
positions by noted writers being play
ed by this band as interpted by the
director. There was no loafing, loud
talking or smoking during the re-
hersal. Each and every member in
tensly interested in playing his part,
this intense interest was most crafty
ing to me, for I know what it spells
for Caldwell, don't you?
The band has a monthly expenditure
to meet. besides new music to buy.
They refuse to ask for monthly do
nations, but they are going to give
series of monthly dances, the first
one will be Wednesday, February 4.
A ten piece orchestra from among the
band members will supply the music,
Every business house in the city
should support this band by buying a

THE STATES PUBLIC PRINTING

| 1t may be of interest to the repub-
lican newspapers Of the state to know
the fact that the Capital News of
Boise has received during the past
year state patronage in the amount of
| $50, III. This item is all out of pro-
portion to the amount Of printing done
by any other newspaper or firm of
printers in the state, the next heav-
lest grabber of state patronage being
the Boise Statesman with $o404 worth
of public printing The Moscow Pub
fishing company follows with one-half
the Stateman's patronage or salts
worth, while the Rexburg Standard,
whose proprietor is a state senator,
is fairly well represented on the
states list of recognized printshops
with $l54l worth with the Nampa
Leader Herald, the Lewiston Tribune
and the Mackay Miner punched along
after the Standard. There can be no
complaint that the, democrat papers
in the state have not been recognized,
for among the names OF newspapers
which have had state patronage in
goodlv amounts are the Lewiston Tri-
bune the Mackey Miner and the Wei
ser American.
1t is natural that south Idaho pa
pers should have the lions share of
the state printing and the Lewiston
Tribune and the Moscow Star-Mirror
are the only northern papers among
the list of those toward the top, and
the presence in their cities of the two
state educational institutions probably
accounts for many of their items
against the state. Outside of the pa
pers at Lewiston and Moscow, north
ern papers are in the "also ran" class,
the Couer d'Alene Press, the Pend d.
Oreille Review and the St. Maries Ca
zette being remembered with about
one-third the patronage which fell to
the lot of papers of about the same
standing in their fields in southern
Idaho.
1t was claimed that through the
system of state purchasing agent the
state was dividing up" the newsla-
per patronage of the state where large
items did not call for bids But either
the Capital News is doing printing
much cheaper than the other news
paper offices of the state or for some
reason, the powers that be desire to
propitiate that paper and continue to
pay tribute to it at public expense that

and gave him full state ticket, in be-
half of which ticket the Capital News
as good as confessed afterwards it
used blackmail and falsehood.
It will take some of the republican
editors some little while. we hope, to
exactly fathom the mathematics of
any situation at Boise which throws

Unless Caldwell enjoys unusual
growth there should be no demand
for more school room for several
years.

than forward. Last March was not

utmost capacity. Caldwell is enjoying
rapid growth and without doubt, it
will not be long before additional
school facilities will be urgently re-
