HOME PRODUCTS

1t is really worth while to note the
home products display in the show
windows on hte Main streets of Pay
cite, it is a splendid idea, it gives one
a good opportunity to realize the
amount and the different articles
that are really manufactured in Pay
cite. The Payette Oil and Develop
-fnent Co. have about the most unique
window display we have seen, it
shows real art in its design. Besides
many windows displaying home ar
ticles, and homo industries, the ia
cobsen building is filled with booths
representing practically every insti-
tuition in the manufacturing busi-
ness.
Don't miss the big parade on the
street Saturday afternoon at 1870
and the home products luncheon at
the Y, in the evening, and above all,
don't forget the real object of HOME
PRODUCTS WEEK, ''to stimulate
the use of home manufactured goods
and home products"

To the Honorable Mayor and
Council of the City of Payette,

Idaho:
GENTLEMEN: I hereby tende
to you my resignation as Chief o
Police of the City of Payette, Idaho
and which resignation shall imme
diately become effective upon ac
ceptance thereof by your honorable
body. It is my desire and re
spectfully request that your honor
able body accept this my resignation

During the time that have had
the honor of occupying the position
OF Chief of Police l have endeayored
to perform the duties of such office
without fear or favor. The duties
which ordinarily fall to such office
have not been very many or heavy
but the duties pertaining to the san
itary condition of the City have been
many. l have endeavored to see to
it that the alleys were kept clean;
that the water and sewer connections
were duly and properly made; and
that the City as whole was made a
better cleaner and more beautiful
place to live in. In this regard l
feel that I have been fairly success
full and hope that my efforts in
this regard have met with your ap-
proyal.
IN rendering my resignation l do
not wish you to feel that l do not
fully appreciate the confidence and
trust you have reposed in me in the
past, At the time you placed me
in this responsible position had just
returned from overseas and had been
discharged with a disability and was
not in a physical condition to per-
form heavy manual labor. Your
placing me in this position shows
your consideration for the services
which l tried to render for my
Cuntry and Civilization when 1 went
overseas, and I can assure you one
and all that 1 shall always remem- |
Der your kindness in this regard.
l have a small ranch and some !
other business matters to look after !
his year all of which will require a !
amount of my time and
attention so that I do not feel that
can give the office the time and
attention it will require. Hoping
,ou will accept this resignation in
he spirit it is rendered, beg to re-
main,
Respectfully yours,
SCOTT NJ. FITCH,
Chief of Police.
Dated this 4th day of April, 1921.

A WARNING TO FAST DRIVERS

With the return of good roads
come the fast and reckless driving,
it is a wonder with the throng OF
cars that more accidents do not oc-
cur, to many drivers do not heed the
speed limit. The City Council have
taken a wise step in instructing the
police committee to employ tenn
porary motorcycle polrce and also
interview the Sheriff, and if possible
cooperate with the Sheriff's office
in making the special man a deputy
with authority to- follow the speeders
and make arrest out side of the city
limits.

PAYETTE TO HAVE
PAVED STREETS

The Mayor and City Council met
Monday evening in an adjourned
meeting to hear protests against the
proposed improvement and paving
district which has long been contem,
TAted by the people Of Payette, and
which is now nicely in progress.
There we're quite a few present, but
no protests were filed and no intima-
ton of any dissatisfaction on the
part OF the people present. After
the time had passed for the hearing
of protests, the Council proceeded
with the reading and passing of Or
dinances creating the proposed in
provement district, and providing
for a bond election to be held May
18th to create the necessary fund
of approximately $4,000 for the
curbing and paving of cross intersec-
tions within the Improvement dis.
trict.
We have long advocated the paw
ing of at least the main business
streets of Payette and now it looks
as if the one great desire of the pro-
gressive people would be granted
Payette is considered to be one of
the most desirable cities in the State, |
and with the few blocks of paving |
the finishing will have been made /

are in positin to state that these
reports are both false and mislead-
ing. The question was referred to
Attorney General Black and we
herewith give you his opinion
Mr.. C. W. Giesler,
Payette, Idaho.
Dear Sir
You submit the following ques-
tion:
Under the new municipal nomina-
ton election law, Chapter 90 OF the
1921 Emergeccy Laws, is it neces-
sary that the convention be of regis
tered electors of simply qualified
electors other than registration?
Answering the same will say that
it is not necessary that the qualified
electors mentioned in Sections 9, s
and 4 or and section, be registered
at the time they act under these
nominations. II they are qualified
voters ther than registered, then
they will fulfill the requirements of
this chapter.
If there is any other question
shall be glad to answer It for you.
Yours very truly.
Signed,-ROY L. BLACK.

lowship has passed into history. o.
April 9Th the superb first degree wa
conferred upon two deeply interest
ed and appreciatiye candidates.
The degree of Friendship has su
perb military setting that grip ant
hold the candidate in breathless ex
pectancy from, moment to moment
as the beautiful lesson is unfolded
and when the climax is finally reach
ed before a royal court, with all the
regal settings designed or employed
/ by a King Saul or a King Solomon,
/ you feel that Greater love hath no
man than he that layeth down his
life for his friend" and you almost
doubt the wisdom of Moses who left
a royal court to lead his people in a
jurney through the wilderness, and
yet You see and know that the super
lative love and unselfishness of
Moses is more to be coveted than all
the riches that can be conferred by
Kings, OF all the glittering power of
position betowed by Prince or Po-
tentate.
The EmmettsyilIe degree staff
have graciously consented to put on
this Royal Degree at the District
Convention to be held in Payette in
May. They are a fine bunch OF men
who put vim, vigor and heart into
their work, 50 you may expect some
thing fine, and you will not be dis
appointed, they study their parts and
when you see and hear them you feel
that you are gazing upon Caezar in
all his Royal pomp or are listening
to Solomon delivering royal man
date.
On April 18th the degree Of Broth
ly Love will be conferred. Don't miss
it. Ben Tomlin is Captain of the
Staff OF this degree. Ben has been
in Boise for the last three weeks get .
ting patched up. He is one of the
three link boys who went over seas
to see that the Hun should quit in
sulting Uncle Sam, and now his
Uncle Sam is trying to fix him up as
good as new. Here is hoping that /
he succeeds.
Applications to join the order are
being received at every session. We
are looking for good, honest, sober,
ndustrius men, they are the salt of
the earth and the backbone of the
nation. The order is not running a
'eformatory. We are not taking in
men to reform them, so be sure you
have reformed, and that the world
Knows it, before you hand in that
little application with your name
signed to it. Then, after you have
oined the order and wear its sacred
symbol over your heart, don't go out
md demonstrate the world at
arge that you are a stranger to
Friendship, Love and Truth.
The friendship of the order is a
acred friendship, and. unless the
member does something to forfeit
hat friendship, it will follow him to
lis grave, nay, more than that, it
;oes beyond and extends to his loved
me the ministering care of an ever
present friend and ever faithful
Alma Mater. You will not be sur-1
'rised then, if the order claims the
privilege of watching over your con-
Iuct, not only in the lodge room. but
n yur intercourse with the world at
arge.
If you are not getting your Idaho
it may be because you
AVE changed your address. Better
lotify the lodge secretary of your
