where.

Hats off to Roy, Idaho. That COM
munity is one of the smallest in area,
perhaps, in the state. But it has
boosters club second to none. A
booster club, mind you, when times
are SO hard, credit. SO short, prices so
low, and money so scarce. There were
at least 20 members in this club Nom
day and probably that many more by.
today
e. ]. Peterson who runs the Roy
general merchandise store is king

The club hopes to enroll every man
and woman in the Roy section in this
club. "If you can't boost don't knock"
is the temporary motto. The club
was organized April 21st and is rap
idly adding members.
Picturesque Mountains.
This spring found most of the folks
at Roy feeling better. Several of
them, to tell the naked truth, had tenn
porarily pulled up stakes and sought
greener pastures. One went to Canada
and came back. Another went to
Kansas-and hurried back. Several
went to California and liked it-but
returned. One quit farming and went

came and is glad of it for he lives at
Roy. These little journeys were good
for the Roy people for they found that
times are no better, prices are no
higher and money is no more plentiful
anywhere than it is at Roy, Idaho.
That's why they are feeling better, in
fact just fine, great.
Home is great place, If you live
at Roy. Green fields are no where
greener than they are at Roy. The
surrounding mountains that protect
growing crops are no where more
picturesque than they are at Roy. And
when the moisture laden breezes brush
their snow clad peaks they leave their
sunshine showers at Roy.
Land is most fertile at Roy. John
Hoffman harvested Sc bushels OF
wheat to the acre last year at Roy
They have good schools good roads
and good times at Roy. Roy people all
boost Roy.
Nineteen twenty two will be a great
year for Roy. Farmers hearing about
good times at Roy will probably want
to buy land there and establish a
home. Real Estate men hearing of the
excellent soil production will probably
want to speculate a little in her fer
tile land. Numerous agents and pro-
moters will probably poster the life
out of the people of Roy who "talb
hard times no moe" as one booster
said. But that will be sign of good
times.
Farm Bureau Active.
The Farm Bureau will probably be
very active this spring at Roy where
the people are all boosting together
for mutual benefits The banks will
probably look with favor on loans t.
Roy people for they have spirit, faith
and pride. Bearish pessimism does
not dull their aspirations. There viii
no doubt be lots of chickens and pigl
raised at Roy, and many cans of cream
will be shipped out of the valley ev
cry week which will make the grocery
man and the butcher and the banke
feel good
No doubt but that several Roy schoo
boys and girls will go to the Stat
University this fall because booster
always find way to educate thei
children. And when their boys grad
uate they will want good farm q
Roy.
Automobile statesmen will max
many visits to the Roy valley becaus
people there feel like good salesma
always feels. And lots of jitneys an
some big cars will be sold too for pro
gressiye people must have moder
means to travel
A Worthy Motive.
And so on-The Press hereby az
plies for membership in the Ro
Booster Club-it would like to be tn
clubs official newspaper and hav
100 percent circulation at Roy
wants to print the name of every farm
er and his wife and their children an
tell something interesting about thes
boosters. Let the Roy booster spir
spread over the entire Rockland va
ley, to American Falls, over the mour
tains to Arbon Valley and then int
the entire state. Good times will r.
turn with a rush IL we all show equi
faith and optimism with the men an
women of Row IdahJ
