pointed to draw up the cooperative
features with the interstate commits
sion.

methods of cooperation were dis

are affected. the interstate commits
sion may hold conferences with the
state commissions as well as Joint
hearings. Chairman Reed said that
heretofore, no method of cooperation
have been worked out

CHASE COUNTY WHEAT RANK.
Farmers There Moving and Pasturing
Grain To Keep 1t Down.

Cottonwood Falls. Kan, April 20
Many Chase county farmers in the
Cottonwood valley who fear their
wheat is becoming too rank because
of its unusual growth for this season
of the year, are using various means
to retard its growth. Some have put
mowers at work on their fields.
Others have turned livestock in to
pasture the wheat. Some of the larger
wheat growers who do not have suf-
ficicnt livestock to pasture down these
fields are borrowing cattle of their
neighbors and of cattiemen who are
shipping livestock into the county for
the grazing season.

field goals while the shifty freshman
forward increased his total to 10 by
converting free tries in six shots
For Meridian, Post and Williamson

evening. Mr.. March was one of
the Caldwell Republicans who en-

of seating capacity for the big
crowd which came from all over

Mr.. March was rather disguised.
But when one of his Democratic

Cooperation New
Ideal of Society

Three epochs mark mans effort TO
live happily upon this globe, accord
ing to the Rev. William Dando of
Decauter, Illinois, who gave one of
the most notable brief addresses ever
presented in Caldwell Thursday when
he spoke for a few minutes to the
Caldwell Kiwanis club.
The first epoch was the epoch of
grab" 1t was the governing fea-
ture of social relationships from the
cave man time and in modern years,
finds expression in militarism, Rev.
Dando said. This policy was found
to be inadequate to meet the require
ment OF community and home relation
ships and gave way to the policy OF
bargaining. Prohteering and other
abuses are making that idea an OBJ
solte one and it is only in the chang
ing period of today that society has
come to recognize the essential i'm
portance of cooperation as a socia
plan to supercede the two obsolete
ideas indulging society. Exchang,
proved inadequate to stand up under
such crisis as the war brought on.
ut, is your Kiwanis club and tn,
large number of similar organiza
tons growing up all over the worlc
that are bringing home this new wa,
of doing things" Rev. Dando said.

In Great Demand.

Lettuce growers who have not yet
secured their seed for the 1922 crop
should get in communication with the
farm bureau office Immediately and
place their orders. Good seed is go
ing to be very scarce this year and
unless secured in the very near flu
ture will not be available. Later on
il will be possible, of course, to Sc
cure what is known as first years seed
for planting, but this seed does no'
produce as strong plant as second
years seed and should not be used il
second years seed can be obtained
cured.

| BETTER SERVICE
Radical Changes in Rur-
al Mail Routes Will Be-
come Effective March
l, 1922.

One hundred twenty families on
four Caldwell routes will be given
daily service after March l according
to estimates. Rural routes of Canyon
and Ada counties have been revised
and the newly adopted routes will
be used after March |, according to
announcement received Tuesday
by ]. B. Gowen, local postmaster.
Changing conditions made changes
in the mail delivery system to rural
subscribers necessary. Resulting from
activities started by Mr.. Gowen while
he was secretary of the Caldwell Com
mercial club, these changes have been
made.
College Heights residents, the Col
lege of Idaho and the Gem State AGA
denny will obtain morning mail serv-
ice if recommendations to be made by
Mr.. Gowen are made portion of the
revised service plan. This will be eff.
fected by reversing the service route
on route 4, east of Caldwell.
Under the new plan, resident of the
Franklin district and other section:
east of town, now served from the
Nampa office, will receive mail from
the Caldwell office. Route runs
IA miles farther east on the boule
ward than at present. Route l, serv
ing territory north and east of Cald

Black Canyon residents, as far nortl
as the Russell Smith place in the frs
unit, will receive Caldwell mail serv
ice. This route has been shortened
in the distance that it now goes up tn
Boise valley and, instead, covers NOR
Territory in the Marble Front an,

/ Altogether about seven miles ha
been added to the distance covered O
the four routes out of Caldwell. Rad
ical changes have been made in tn

T asst BOUTS At
CLUB TUESDAY
Good Crowd Sees Wrest-

ton Profitable.

The Caldwell Commercial club held
a smoker in connection with its regu-
lar monthly meeting at the club
rooms, Tuesday evening, February
H.. The smoker was staged by Presi-
dent w. H. Blunt and Secretary Roy
HURT and is the beginning of new
policy of the club in having special
attraction at each meeting.
The main bout between Joe Stefan
sky, Nampa light-heavyweight, and
Coach Carroll Atkinson of the College
of Idaho team, was good exhibition
of scientific wrestling, although the
Nampa man had his lighter opponent
outclassed at all times during the bout
except for the first few minutes. No
fall resulted.
Two bouts in which college men
competed brought out some very fast
clean wrestling Verne Grothe, oil
Nampa, and Thurlo Bryant, Caldwell
both winning by falls. The final bout
between Pete Kimm and Shorty Glenn
Martin, both of the high school, was
rip shorter from beginning to end
neither boy having an edge. Kimn
had the advantage in the first part Of
the bout and Martin evening up mat
tiers in the final minutes. There wa.
more honest-to-goodness speed in thi
exhibition than a great many full
wrestling cards possess. :
Members of the club passed the ha
for the benefit of the college wrestling
team which is a self-supporting spor
at the college. Twenty-six dollars
was realized for the college team from
this method, sufficient to allow tn
college management to leave Caldwell
for Moscow next week entirely clear

Wrestlers Leave Mon.
day for Moscow; Hard
Bouts Expected.

The College of Idaho wrestling team
will leave Caldwell Monday to COM
pete against the University of Idaho
at Moscow on Tuesday evening, Feb.
81. The University has the strong
est team in its history from all re-
ports, losing to Washington State,
three bouts against four whereas the
Pullman school has usually had a
walk-away in former years with the
Idaho men. The credit TO develop
ing the upstate team is given to Babe
Brown, Boise, who is wrestling in the
heavyweight class and coaching the
team.
This will be the first intercollegiate
meet in which the College of Idaho
men have ever competed, However
Coach Atkinson's men have string
of four straight victories to their cred
it and are confident of making good
impression in their debut into fast
wrestling company. Two members
of the university team who won bouts
against Washington State will COM
pete against two of the best men on
the college team, Fred Horning stack
ing up against Captain Jim Jackson
and Frank Kinnison against Irving
Cornell. The other men to make tht
trip are Chiffon Bryant, featherweight
Thurlo Bryant, lightweight; and
Fred Robinson, welterweight,
There is a possibility that the en-
tire College Of Idaho team may be Ell
tered in the annual championships o
the Pacific Northwest association o
the Amateur Athletic Union, but thi
has not yet been definitely decided
This is the biggest event in north
western amateur wrestling each yea
and the competition is so keen tina
it is very doubtful whether any of tn
local men would be able to win
medal but the experience would be in
valuable if arrangements to send tn
men to Spokane can be made.
