AROUND THE COURT HOUSE

District court Is still in session
and will be for some time yet, hear
ing cases without a Jury.
The case of the Barnett Bank
against w. H. and c. w. Horton was
closed by verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for $469Z.25.
The Alliance Trust company
against H. X. Williams resulted in
decree of foreclosure.
A divorce was granted to Louise
Edmo and Leonard Edmo.
Lee Charles Miller against J.. M.
Wright resulted in foreclosure
order.
Sheriff Simmons reported the
quantity of liquor he had in his pos
session as the result of raids and
arrests, and the court isued an order
to destroy 1t.
The county commissioners and the
fair board had . sitting on Wednes-
day afternoon on fair matters.
=. The county treasurer is taking in
more currency than usual this year
on taxes and seemingly less on
checks. The total amount of taxes
to be paid is about 100000, or
$350,000 in the first installment.
Up to Tuesday evening the total
paid in was $500, but it is difficult
to make comparisons with other
years at this time because some of
the large corporations pay theirs in
the last week or 80 and unless these
were sorted out it would be impossi-
BILE to get any true comparison at
fecting the rest Of it. Tuesday,
Dec. rs will be the last day on
which payment may be made. On
the twenty-seventh per cent PEN
atty will be added, and interest at
the rate of / per cent per month till
paid.

TRACTOR TEACHING FREE

Farmers and their sons living
within a reasonable distance of Po-
catello will have an opportunity to
take an eight weeks winter course
in tractor construction, operation,
and repair at the Idaho Tech. This
course will begin on January and
continue thruout January and Feb
ruary.
The major portion of the time
will be devoted to actual repair of
tractors, but plenty of opportunity
will be given in tractor operation.
For the past five years this course
has been of growing popularity,
larger and larger numbers of farm
ers and their sons coming in to take
it.
Living accommodations may be
obtained at the Tech dormitories or
in the city of Pocatello. There will
be no other expenses attached to
the course. Since the use of tractors
on the farms is increasing every
year, the numbers enrolled in this
course have also been growing, and
a large class is anticipated next
month.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

H. L. Kennedy, manager of the
Idaho Grimm Alfalfa Seed Growers
association, spoke as follows on CO.
operative marketing:
Recent events and the present
condition of the producer of agricul.
tural commodities, have aroused
thruout the entire United States q
wide spread interest in cooperative
farm marketing organizations and
the necessity for the farmer to
adopt some such method in dispos-
ing Of farm products.
At the national conference on
agriculture at Washington, not long
ago, cooperative farm marketinp
was hailed as the one method which
would best solve the problems which
nearly every community had to face
as result of postwar readjust-
ment, The president of the United
States and the secretary Of agricul-
ture, as well as leaders in practically
every line Of business, have taken
occasion to emphasize the necessity
of adopting this method of market
ing farm products IL the farmer is to
receive a fair price for his products
and reasonable return on his labor
and investment. Along this line
congress has seen fit further CO.
operative marketing by passing an
act authorizing the formation of
such associations with view of re-
leiying them in measure from re-
strictions imposed by the "anti-
trust" laws. 1t is now generally
conceded by the best Of authorities
that cooperative farm marketing is
the sole salvation of the farmer in
this period of intensive and scien-
tific marketing. M
Cooperative farm marketing is
not a new idea, but because Of it's
many failures in the past 1t has not
progressed to any great extent. and
while we have today thousands Of
organizations of this kind that are

ROAD WORK PROGRESSING

day evening and reported that they
were moving the rock crusher from
Shelley to the gravel pit below

Mr.. Jones says the new road is be-
ing built of a mixture OF coarse
crushed rock, fine rock, black sand
and clay, all carefully laid so that
1t makes very hard, smooth road

1t have expressed the belief that it
will be very satisfactory. The road
is completed from the. Bonneville

Shelley.
