FARM MARKETING
NJ a y Join National
Farm Bureau
Federation

The executive board Of the Bing-
ham county farm bureau, realizing
the inefficiency of the present or
ganization in handling the prob
lens of the county especially with
reference to the marketing of the
farmers produce, met at the farm
bureau office Wednesday, August 25,
to consider plans for reorganizing
the bureau on basis which would
enable it to devise ways and means
to get for the farmer the cost Of
production plus a reasonable profit.
The organization has been ham,
pered by certain outside influences
which made it impossible for it to
deal with the farmers problems in
business way, especially in farm
marketing, and it was the unani-
nous decision of the board to re-
ordganize the farm bureau on an
Independent financial basis which
would make it possible for such an
organize the farm bureau on an
American Farm Federation and de-
rive the benefits of an affiliation
with the national organization.
The following resolution was
adopted:
"Be it resolved that the executive
board of the Bingham County Farm
bureau take the proper steps to Or
ganize the Bingham County Farm
bureau on an independent financial
basis, following the plan already in
successful operation in Illinois and
Michigan, which will make it posi-
BILE for us to cooperate with and re-
ceive the support of the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
"The object of this organization
shall be to strive for better market
ing conditions, better facilities for
handling the farmers products and
to assist in solving any and all prob
lens conducive to his better well
fare"
The plan of the American Farm
Bureau Federation was explained in

In the Republican state conven-
tion at Pocatello, Bingham county
enjoyed the distinction of furnish
ing candidate for place on the
supreme bench of the state, William
A. Lee receiving the nomination for
what Is know as the provisional six
year term.
1t is proposed to add two members
to the supreme bench in an effort
to enable that body to dispose Of the
work more rapidly and keep it up
rather than always to have it in
arrears. Three judges working on
the cases before it are always many
months behind, and by amending
the constitution to allow five judges,
creates one of the places which 1t
is proposed that Mr.. Lee shall fill.
Mr.. Lee has one Of the distinctive
judicial minds that is always keen
on analysis of legal questions. In
his private practice he has always
shown great ability as an adviser
to keep men out of trouble by telling
them their rights, and his fine analy-
sis of legal problems makes him the
logical man to fill judicial posi-
tions.

home.
A delegation of suffrage leaders
was awaiting at the state department
when Secretary Colby arrived. The
secretary Immediately informed the
delegation that the suffrage proc
lamation had been signed, and their
enthusiasm was somewhat dampened
by the fact that they had not been
permitted to be present at the sign
ing.
Secretary Colby announced that
the Tennessee certificate had been
delivered to him at his home at
3 o'clock this morning and that he
had Immediately turned it over to
Solicitor Fred M. Nielsen of the

ficate and the proclamation this

presence of Solicitor Nelson and
Charles Cook of the diplomatic bu-
reau of the state department the
proclamation had been signed.

proclamation as soon as possible af-
ter receipt of the Tennessee certifi-
cate and for that reason he had af-
fixed his signature at his home be-
fore going to his office.

NO AGGRESSION
Poland Must Not Fol.
low up Victory With
Invasion
BY Earle G. Reeves
International News Service STAFF
Correspondent.

Correspondent.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-Four sterr
and emphatic notes have been sent
to Poland by the United States
Great Britain, France and Italy
warning the new republic in the cas-,
against anti bolshevik, it was learned
this afternoon.
The Washington note is said to
have pointed out that the blood shed
should be stopt now that Polands
military victory is assured. The
Poles are warned against breaking
off peace negotiations with Soviet
Russia and are urged to make peace
at the earlies possible moment ad-
herring rigidly to the principles of
the treaty of Versailles.
The British, French and italian
notes are said to be couched in even
stronger language than the commun-
ication from the United States. 1t is
understood in semi-official circles
that the Poles will reply Immediately
to the American note giving assur-
ances that the Polish government
will continue it's efforts for a peace
agreement with Soviet Russia and
pledging itself to comply with the
treaty of Versailles.
1t is reported that Poland will sug-
gest the immediate transfer of peace
negotiations to Riga.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-An Of
fetal declaration by Poland Of its
policy with regard to aggression
against Russia is awaited here to-
day as a result of the formal request
of the United States for such a
statement.
After a series of conflicting state
ments, the state department has
formally announced that communi-
cation was transmitted to the Polish
government on August 21 inquiring
concerning the Polish aims with re-
gard to invasion of Polish territory.
At the Polish legation here 1t was
announced today that statement
will probably be forthcoming from
Warsaw shortly.
Officials of the leglation were con-
'fdent that the Polish government
would state its intention to withdraw
from Russia and would set forth
that it would be impossible to stop
its drive against the Soviet armies at
the Polish borders, but must con-
tinue the offensive to conclusion
and withdrawal would follow when
Poland is again assured of freedom
from the danger of invasion.

The Idaho Republican state con-
vention adopted late Tuesday a plat
form including a strong plank sup
porting the convention system. A
substitute plank favoring the direct
primary was voted down. Debate on.
the issue waged furious after Senator
Cheney st. Clair, who was reading
the platform section by section, read
the plank. James Gipson of lnyon,
E. J. Frawley of Ada, R. G. Taylor
Of Ada, Harry Keyser of Ada, Sena-
tor Nelson of Jefferson and Maj.
Finn of Elmore, Shad Hodgins of
Twin Falls, Frank Hagenbarth of
Clark and Senator Walker of Bound
ary, were among those taking part
in the debate. The plank as adopted
follows:
That the Republican party, in re-
sponse to the demand of the people
Of Idaho, did in 1909 pass a direct
primary law, and thereafter, at sub
sequent sessions, did attempt to
said law and bring it to
perfection; Notwithstanding the hon
est and intelligent legislation to this
end, the direct primary law was
largely unsatisfactory in its opera
ton as statewide measure, and
was, by the concurrence of both Re-
publican and Democratic members,
repealed at the last session of legis-
ature that the present mixed pri-
mary law, passed in it's place, has
developed defects and must be
amended and improved so as to pre-
serve all that is conducive to good
government in the direct primary
aw, while absolutely protecting the
lights of our people to party organ
cation and responsibility. We con-
,ur in and heartily indorse the state
nent made by our candidate for
president, Hon. Warren G.. Harding,
n his address of acceptance, where
n he said: "The abandonment of |
government thru political parties |
means the same instability for the |
United States which characterizes
many Latin-American states, or it
means an autocracy or dictatorship
which spells the end of our boasted
epublic. Partisanship can be put
side for great national emergency
vhen the menace comes from with
ut, as the great was has proved, but
arty sponsorship is the guaranty of
accomplishment in meeting the prob
ems Of peace"
