Woman Tells Men
Best Way to Get
Ahead il World

What are you best adapted for? In
what profession, business or vocation
can you best succeed? Are you a
square peg in round hole? Are
you following the line of work best
suited to your Temperament, mental
and physical characteristics?
These and other similar difficult
question were answered this week by
Mrs. jean Morris Ellis for many Cald-
we'll former service men. Mrs. Ellis
is character analyst and vocational
guidance Specialist, touring Idaho,
Washington and Oregon under the
auspices of the c. M. c. A. and in
corporation with the department of
vocational training, federal war risk
bureau. 1t is because so many for
mer service men who. have taken up
the government free vocational
guidance courses and are endeavoring
to fit themselves for pursuits that they
are poorly fitted for, has led the Y.
M. c. A. to employ Mrs. Ellis in
order to prevent it.
Cites An Example
As an example of the unfortunate
selection of courses made by many
men, Mrs. Ellis told small group of
American Legion men who gathered
at the club rooms to hear her of Il
case that come to .her attention In
Portland recently. A disabled SOL
der had applied to the government
for training and was assigned to a
coast university to take course in
liberal arts. He. made no progress
with his studies and his instructors
were nearly convinced that he was
lhopelessly stupid, until it was discov-
cred that he had left school at the
close of the seventh grade. Imagine
a seventh gradue pupil taking up 4
college course in liberal arts. The
young man was mechanically inclined,
Mrs. Ellis discovered, and she sue
ceeded in having him transferred to
an automobile repair school, where
he is making big success.
Mrs.. Ellis has had ~ years expert
ence in character analysis and has
thousands of letters from grateful
persons who she has assisted in find
| ing their largest opportunity.
All day Wednesday and yesterday
forenoon Mrs. Ellis held conferences
with local Legionaires who desired
her advice on the work of training
courses they should take. Practically
every man who met her Tuesday even
ing, called upon her at Frank Meek
office Wednesday and Thursday for
personal conferences.
That her work is popular is eyi.
denced by the fact that Mrs. Ellis did
not have an idle moment during her
hours for appointments.

Attack State for
General Practice
in Nursery Work
cow ENTION CRITICISES
USURPATION OF ESSENTI-
ALLY PRIVATE FIELD.

Saturday noon c. T. Hawkes. and
son Harold returned from an extend
ed visit to some of the big nurseries
in Oregon and Washington. While in
that territory they attended the Pa
cific Coast Nurseryman's association
convention at Spokane.
The meeting was full of life and
ginger and accomplished a great
many things with relation to closer
cooperation among nurserymen. One
of the important questions dealt with
was that of the various state depart
ments sending out nursery stock at
a price lower than the nurserymen
could afford to grow it The fact
that the departments Of forestry
should not compete with nurserymen
who had the pay taxes, inspection
fees and licenses was emphasized. It
was suggested that these depart
ments keep up the good work that
they have been doing but direct their
efforts more to identifying public
school yards, and civic centers.
Nursery stock is going to be short
in good many varieties next spring
due to various causes, some of which
are shortage of foreign Seeding ship
ments, lack of experienced labor, and
the heavy frosts of last winter, ac-
cording to Mr.: Hawkes..
Mr.. Hawkes. was reelected as vice
president of the association for the
state of Idaho.
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Cali
fornia, Utah and British Columbia
were represented at the conference.

Caldwell Baseball Team
Hits Winning Streak;
Downs Boise.

Caldwell's rejuvenated baseball
team has finally struck winning
stride if the result of the two games
with the penant chasing Boise aggre-
CATION Sunday and Monday are any
criterion. After dropping a string OF
games by hard luck and invariably
by single run margin, Cornelrs
chorus went out after the bacon and
downed the Capital City gang Sunday
by healthy margin in an exhibition
game and Monday turned the trick
again coping by 81 score, one of
the best games of the season.
Mondays game in Caldwell proved
all attraction too strong Tor the big
gest crowd that ever attended ball
game here to miss. 1t was a habid
and wild conglomeration of fans who
were present when his jumps yelled
play ball" In the first inning, those
same fans had an opportunity to give
vent to their enthusiasm when Rhine
hart p1ucked a long drive off the
fence with wonderful one handed
catch which threw him into the crowd
and then, recovering, doubled a man
at first 1t was a catch that nipped
a first inning rally in the bud and
probably won the game for Caldwell
How 1t Happened
Until the sixth inning, the game
was scoreless. Neither team threat
ened to cross the home plate with
Wyman and Malloy pitching good
ball. But in the sixth inning Malloy
started the fire works with clean
bingle. Younmans, playing his us
ualy scrappy game, also connected
safely but he was forced out at sec
ond on Cornelps inheld hit. Cornell
promptly stole second while Wymal
was holding the ball and both scored
on Nelson's timely drive. Rhinehart
also connected safely, scoring Nelson.
This ended the locals scoring for the
game.
Too great an anxiety to get the
game over when he had two strikes
on Jack Case in the ninth cost Nal
10y a shutout He grooved one to
Case after Sherman had hit and the
old warhorse promptly clouted it for
two bags scoring Sherman. But the
rally was short liver, Cooley driving
one to Benedict for an easy out at
first.
Malloy Works Well
Malloy pitched nice game, keeping
his hits scattered and tanning II men.
Wyman was less puzzle to Caldwell
than ordinarily, sending only four
men back to the bench by the strike
out route. In both games, the Cald-
we'll team for the first time this sea-
son, showed an inclination to take
advantage of every opportunity and
to put some life into the game.
Sundays game at Boise was more
or less farce. the Boise aggregation
playing miserable bali in the field.
Berg for Caldwell was touched for
number of bingles but the runs
that Boise was able to amass could not
compensate them for the bungles that
they made.

Caldwell Pleases
Big Crowd Monday
With Celebration

Caldwell demonstrated the FEAST
bility of good wholesome celebra-
ton on safe and sane basis Monday
when the town population and many
from the surrounding country enjoy
ed to the limit the program arranged
and carried through by the Caldwell
band. There have been bigger cele-
brations in Caldwell but the band Ger
tainly delivered every promise that
had been made. Everyone had a good
time, including the old workhorses
who usually put on celebrations and
who need two weeks vacation after it
is over.
AS was expected, the parade was
the big feature of the day While the
number of entries in various sections
was not so large as had been artici-
patted, there were many fine floats
Particularly impressive was the por-
ton of the parade devoted to county
and city road machinery and equip
ment.
The band led the parade to Me-
mortal park where Roy Black, state
attorney general, delivered a real
Fourth of July speech. Dancing, both
afternoon and evening, was feature
of the later day events. There were
no fireworks.
According to H. w. Dorman, the
dances netted some money which
goes to the band fund. All other ex-
penses were promptly met, and a
small surplus remained.

City Receives One
Bid on Paving Work

The Warren Construction company,
at present employed on the big Cald-
we'll improvement program, submitted
the only bid in answer to a call
issued by the city for paving district
No. 4, it was found when the council
received bids at the Tuesday evening
meeting. The offer was practically
identical with that for the paving
now under construction. 1t was sub
mitted to the city attorney and road
committee for checking before the
contract is awarded. Seventh avenue
in the vicinity of the city hall and
three alleys are included in this paw
ig district.
Bids on the sidewalks were opened.
These by c. f. Silbaugh & company,
J. Frak Bales, J. H. Forbes and H.
c. Durham. Mr.. Durham's bid was
the lowest, asking l8 cents per square
foot. This was referred to the same
committee as the paving bids. This
committee was authorized to thor
oughly investigate the sidewalk dis
trict before awarding any contracts,
and only such walks as are deemed
necessary will be laid. The curbing
ordinance was read for the first time.
A committee representing the Can
yon Hill district, headed by J. ].
Allison was present and protested
against the condition of the hill road
as left by the reclamation workers last
fall. The road committee was in
structed to attempt to get the rec
lamation people to have the road re-
paired.

Let Contract for
Bridge on River
at Pickle Butte
ESTIMATE COST OF STRUc-
TURE AT $115,270; WILL
HURRY WORK,

The department of public works
of the state of Idaho awarded a con-
tract for the construction of the
Pickle Butte bridge to the Union
Bridge company Tuesday. The esti-
mated cost of the work is $115,270.
This bridge, which crosses the
Snake river between Canyon and
Owyhee counties, was submitted to
the bureau of public roads as fed
eral aid project. The bureau dis
approved the project on the grounds
that this bridge was too near the one
at Homedale, for which the govern
ment is furnishing so per cent of the
construction cost, and that it is not
on a state highway.
Bids were received for the con-
struction of this bridge during the
spring but were all rejected as the
contractors figures greatly exceeded
the amount available for the project
The state purchased the steel and re-
advertised for the erection of the
bridge. Bids were received on July l
This structure is one of the five
Snake river bridges for which spe
cial appropriations were made by tn,
Legislature. Contracts have beea
awarded for three of them including
the Pickle Butte bridge and bids will
| be received for the remaining INC
early in August.
The work will proceed rapidly an,
it is expected that the bridge will b,
well under way before next winter.

trained intelligence flies to criticism
as naturally as a duck to water.
Now, 1t happens that the men who
chiefly have the initial say as to what
shall be published are largely intelli-
gentsia. AS such they express their
prejudices as human beings are like
ly to. The war did not take course
agreeable to them. It's issues did not
appeal to them. 1t fatty contradict
ed their assumptions, and they do
not like to be reminded of their dis
comfiture. They take it for granted
that as they think and feel so do
their fellow creatures. When the
author of war book comes in, even
though he brings in an interesting
manuscript, he is sneered at. The
public is not consulted. It takes
what is given it, but this is not nee
essarily what it wants.

trary, we think that it is real point
in Senator Harding's favor that he
writes like Senator and not pro-
lessor of anything. We wish at
times that he had gone to the same
Vermont school that "Cal" Coolidge
attended, where they evidently
taught clearness first, last and
all the time. But, at any rate, Mr..
Harding gets his idea first and his
words afterward-he never suggests
remotely that phrase has run away
with his imagination and that in it's
effulgence he mistakes it for an idea.
He views the dictionary as prac-
teal tool and words as means of
expression, not a cloud of beautiful
generalities. We have yet to see the
very" count on Mr.. Harding, but
we suspect that it would confirm the
general view that those who think
the next occupant of the White House
should above all else write English
with the smooth facility of college
president will not vote for Warren
G. Harding.
