PATRONS RECEIVE
sI2,000.00 IN
DIVIDENDS

One of the most appreciated events
in this community is the winding up
of the years business of the Farmers
Cooperative Creamery Co., by pat
ron's dividend of cents per pound of
butterfat, or about per cent premi-
um, the total sum amounting to
s12, 100000.
1t is not altogether the payment of
these dividend checks that bring
about good feeling, OUT the fact
that it denotes the wonderful success
of this institution. The patrons of
this Company should be congratulat-
ed for their loyalty in helping to
make this concern a winner, and at
the same time realizing practically
10 cents per pound more than the
dairyman of western Idaho who are
not patronizing a cooperative cream
cry. 1t should be an incentive for
every patron to increase his hurd, and
for those who are not patrons to join
the rank and file of the men who
are.

ORGANIZE IDAHO
FIRE INSURANCE
COMPANY

! Our columns today contain the
announcement of the successful
launching of another Idaho enter
prise in the form of the Idaho Fire
Insurance Company This Company
was first organized about three years
ago, but owing to the general de-
preston which overlook the entire
country, the plans of the original pro-
moters were temporarily suspended. d.
However, during the early part OF the
current year Mr.. John w. Eagleson,
former State Treasurer of Idaho, and
number of other prominent men in
the State, took hold of the affairs of
the corporation and completed the
organization, and on August 3rd, the
Company received from the State In
surance Department, a charter to
carry on the business OF fire insur-
ance Since that date, the officers of
the Company have been actively en-
gagged in making preparations to COM
mence insurance business on January
1st. The Company will operate as
member of the Board Of Fire Under.
writer's OF the Pacific. The Home
Office of the Company is located in
the Soma Building, at Boise. and
large number Of local representatives
have been appointed throughout the
State. This is the only Company of
its kind organized under the laws of
this STATE, and the Company enters
upon its career with every prospect
of successful operation. An interest
ing feature of the enterprise is that
its entire capital stock is held within
the State, and its entire assets are
invested in the State of Idaho, and
every dollar of premium paid into
this Company stays in Idaho, so that
this corporation may justly lay claim
to being of immense benefit to the
State. The President, Mr.. John W.
Eagieson, who is actively engaged in
the affairs of the Company, is widely
known throughout the State The
underwriting is in the hands of the
Assistant Secretary. Mr.. T. Barra-i

NOT FORGOT
BY SANTA CLAUS

There were no kiddies in this COM
munity forgotten by Santa Claus this
year. The good fellows of Payette
County took the matter in hand in
plenty of time to see that none would
be overlooked. A thorough canvas

might have overlooked was given an
opportunity to express their desire for
what they wanted. A complete list
was made and with but few excep-
tions Santa filled the order, notwith-
standing, there were numerous ar
ticles from overalls to automobiles.
A large tree was placed in the din
ing room of the Bancroft Grill, Sun
day afternoon, beautifully decorated
and hanging literally full of presents
II almost every description. Cars
were driven by the Good Fellows to
the homes and the children brought
in. Eighty-five in number gathered
in the Chamber of Commerce rooms
where a regular jollification took
place and games played until it was
announced that Santa Claus had ar
rived when stampede was made.
After the presents were given out,
and the little hearts made glad, the
children were again taken to the
Chamber Of Commerce rooms, where
a big feed was prepared by the Ban
croft Grill that put the finishing touch
to the entire affair, On being re-
turned to their homes, each little
tot vas given basket filled with
candies, nuts and oranges, and TO
make the Christmas more complete,
the ladies Of the Portia club, Eastern
Star, Pythian Sisters, and the P. E.
O. had already prepared large
basket filled with a Christmas dinner
for each family which was delivered
to the home.
J. W. Hughs, proprietor of the
Emma Theatre, also contributed very
to the Christmas pleasure OF
the children by presenting to each
one who we're large enough. com

mite length of time.

TO CORRECT AN ERROR

A slight error was made in one of
our last weeks local advertisements
which gave the wrong impression, F.
VI. Moss & Brothers advertisement
read, "Can make immediate delivery
on new 1928 Ford Touring Cars. !"
The So on cars should have been
left off, as they only intended to ad-
vertise one car. The impression went
out that they were agents of the
Ford. C. C. Hargrove still has the
Ford Agency.

A NEW PLAN FOR
MARKETING APPLES

J. H. Connyers, among other
Christmas presents, received rather
unique and curious gift from his
mother-in-law, at independence, Md.
1t was Just a dried apple. not the
ordinary dried apple such as those at
the grocery store. but dried in
most complete manner representing
an Indian face, no sculpture could
have made more eomplete repre-
sentation. the very features were
those Of an aged Indian, even the
color was complete, black eyed beans
we're sunk into the apple to rspre-
sent eyes, the head was srraeasd To
the body. ali dressed in Indian style.
The darn thing is certainly worth
looking at. If the eastern people
can't eat all Of the apples grown IN
this famous fruit section. thsy haTe
found way to get rid of them Just
the same.

Rev. A. ]. Munsterman, pastor of
the German Lutheran church, left
Tuesday evening for Peotone, Illinois.
After few days visit with relatives,
will go on to Chicago, where he will
attend the University of Chicago. Mr.,
Munsterman is a bright young minis

has been one of the boosters in the

The Idaho Freight Rate Reduction
associations which hss the matter AZ
with the railroads and the state pub
lie utilities commission of general
reduction of freight rates in the state
back to the 1914 level and an emer-
eency rate on coal into the state and
potatoes, hay, grain and fruits out OF
the state until the freight rate matter
can be readjusted, finds itself coming
in contact with set rules and regu-
iations established by the state board
OF public utilities and the interstate
commerce commission which prove a
severe handicap.
The state public utilities commits
sion expressed Willingness to cooper
ate with the association and took the
matter up by wire with the railroad
executives, particularly in the mat
ter of the emergency rate on coal into
the state, bringing out the fact that
the people of southern Idaho through
out many localities have suffered and
will suffer this winter on account of
the high price of coal. The railroad
companies take refuge behind q
statement of the interstate commerce
commission to the effect that no
action can be taken on the present
request made last March has been
decided. In other words the matter
has been before the interstate COM
meree commission almost year with
no decision or action Of any kind. 1t
is conditions of this kind that the
freight rate reduction association
hopes to correct.
The admission is made on the part
of the railroad companies that the
freight rates charged are too high
and refuge is taken in the statement
that the railroads are not in position
TO help themselves.
The object of the freight rate re-
duction association is to gather such
data and information that will make
il possible to make q showing that
will result In reduced freight rates,
If the organization is unable to se>
cure direct results the matter will be
taken up direct with the state legis-
lature and members of the Idaho con-
gressional delegation in Washington.
1t has been clearly shown to the
mind Of any reasonable person that
there must be a reduction in freight
rates il business conditions through
out southern Idaho are to make
change for the better any time soon.
The people OF this section OF the
state are thoroughly in earnest and
have determined to rid themselves OF
this heavy charge which is acting as
handicap to BUSINESS development
and expect to accomplish that result
through the medium of the recently
organized association.
