The College Glee Clubs are now en-

izations under the direction of F. F.
Beale.
Samson and Delilah is a grand
opera by the French composer, Saint
Saens. The college performance will
be given in concert form with the
solo parts taken by outside singers OF
ability. These soloists will be an
nounced in the near future.
A large orchestra of 80 musicians
will be used, thus making this an un-
usual event in all ways. The College
Glee Clubs will make up fine chorus
OF approximately 20 voices. Previous
opera productions by the Glee Clubs
have established for them a reputa-
ton they are determined to uphold in
Samson and Delilah, though this work
is far more difficult than any yet Civ
en- by them. Musically, Samson and
Delilah is full of surprising beauty
and the performance is something no
one can afford to miss hearing.
Though two performances are
scheduled, the demand for seats will
probably tax the capacity of the the
alter. Seats, therefore, should be re-
served early Watch for further an
nouncements along this line.

BALL GAME: IS

Sunday.

Was it a riot? 30, it was a rout.
Never in the history of Caldwell base
ball has home team displayed such
marvellous ability to kick the ball
around the lot, to boot easy chances
the way HURT and Winnings Kids did
Sunday. And the woeful part of the
performance was that not less than
1900 spectators expected and paid
good money to see a ball game.
1t was wonderful track meet.
Boise players cavorted around the
bases almost at will, collecting not
less than II runs while the very best
that Caldwell could do was a measly
span of scores.
Framback elected to start things
for Caldwell. He didn't even last a

Keen Interest In
Wheat Pool Plar,

An unexpected amount of inter
est is being shown in the meeting
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
forming wheat pool for Canyon
county. This meeting is to be
held at the Parrish House, at
Nampa, Idaho, next Saturday,
April 20.
Reports from all over the county
indicate that the meeting will be
unusually well attended and that
the discussion will be lively. An
added feature of interest in con-
nection with this meeting will be
the discussion of an alleged at
tempt to put the Independent
Flour Mills and Equity Mills out
of the flour making business in
this territory. Investigation has
disclosed that flour at the present
time is being sold in Idaho Falls
and other points at price of
$500 per barrel above the price
charged for the product of the
same grade in this territory. Many
farm bureau members insist that
this is being done for the purpose
of making the manufacturer of
flour by Equities Improbable,
This entire matter will likely be
discussed at the meeting on the
10Th and promises to bring forth
some interesting facts.

FERRIS, DEMOCRAT, GOES 10 SENATE
 FROM MICHIGAN

Detroit, Nov. S.-Woodbridge N. Ferris, Democrat, twice governor of Michigan has defeated Senator Charles E. Townsend, Republican, in the Michigan senatorial contests, by margin estimated at between 10,- 900 and 15,OOO according to figures available early today. virtual Democratic landslide in Detroit and Wayne county enabled Ferris to over come a Townsend outstate lead and pile up what apparently is safe lead.
 The few remaining precincts yet to be heard from cannot possibly change the result, Democratic headquarters claimed this morning.
 Ferris also carried big centers of population like Genesee, Kent, Ka1a- mazoo, Oakland, St. Clair, Calhoun, Ingham, Ionia and Marquette coun- ties.
 With 2,061 precincts out of 2,9o6 in the state heard from Ferris had 202,- 656 votes and Townsend 193,537, giv- ing the Democratic candidate a lead of 9,119.
 In Wayne county. 5S7 out of 659 precincts gave Ferris 64,205 and Townsend 44,795 showing Ferris 19,- 51O. This indicates Ferris plurality in Wayne will exceed 22,000.
 The Republicans appear to have carried the rest of their ticket with one exception electing Gov. Alex J. Groesback and winning all but one Congressional district.
