suits are already manifest and coop
GRAFTON of agricultural societies have

Three very successful meetings, two
at Roclnland and one at Roy are re-

to raising and diversified farming.
Ben Ross, SECRETARY of the State

sells wheat during 1922.
These meetings Will be followed
during the next week by meetings OF
all farmers interested in potato seed
raising A committee is at work sign
ing up new members for the Idaho

~THE OLD NEST' STORY OF
EVERY HOME BROUGHT TEARS
Wet Eyeiashes Adorned Smiling Faces
AS Crowds Filed Out Of Auditor
ium Theatre Following Show.

Record crowds attended the pre-
sentation of "The Old Nest" at the
Auditorium Theatre Sunday and Mon
day. This simple story of home life
by Rupert Hughes possessed an APP
peal that was irresitable and in re-
calling happy remembrance of mother,
in reminding thoughtless children of
the loved ones at the old home, it SER
we'd its purpose admirably.
The picture was an accurate por-
trayal OF every home In the land
where children have blessed the fam
lily. The anxieties and cares of the
mother, the pride and discipline Of the
father the thousand and one little
things that every home enjoys, were
all there. 1t was simple, and good, a
notable contrast to the gerat majority
of plays that one sees on the screen
Many a wet eyelash adorned the happy
faces that left the theatre after the
show and many firm resolution was
made to write or wire the very nexi
day to mother.

Days of Real Sport 70
Be Reuiued With League
EVERYBODY GO PLAY TWILIGHT BASEBALL

through the seasons playing.
Kitten BalE' an outdoor form OF
Indoor baseball will probably be play
ed: The ball is not so hard, the bat is
only two inches in diameter and short
er than the regulation outdoor bat,
and the bases are but 45 feet apart.
There will be all the fun and exercise
without the bruised hands, broken
fingers, and bruises from pitched balls.
A few of the rules are as follows:
distance from plate to pitcher 30 feet;
ball shall be official playground ball;
no spikes or hard shoes shall be worn;
each team shall consist of ten players;
the pitcher must deliver the ball from
below the hip and parallel with the
body; twilight game shall consist OF
seven innings; three strikes are out
whether the ball is caught or not; a
bunt is OUT a baserunner must not
leave his base when the pitcher is in
his box and must not leave his base
until after a pitched ball has passed
the batter; a batter may oyerrun first
base only.
The date for starting the league has
not been decided upon and will be left
| to the captains of the various teams
The advent of warm weather will be
| looked forward to with interest In
view of the anxiety of many to gel
started Teams, captains, and tenta'
tive schedules will be announced mex
J week.

The days of real sport are to be re-
vived in American Falls through the
medium of twilight baseball league.
All the town characters will take part
and that alone guarantees entertain
ment and unalloyed joy for the numer-
GUS spectators as well as for the par
ticipants.
These are the days of intramural
sports and American Falls insists on
being modern. Six teams, ten to fif-
teen players to the team, will play a
game each week for every team, over
period of weeks for tn city champion
ship. No pennant has yet been sug-
gested but some prize will undoubtedly
be hung up. The teams have not been
named as only preliminaries have thus
far been cared for.
The men selected to enlist players
and suggest teams for the league are
j. Paul Evans, G. M. Oliver, Frank
Davis, w. l.. Newton, e. e. Hooker
and X. e. Torrance. They met We'd
nesday evening and drafted tenta-
| tive schedule and divided the players
on an equitable basis as near as pre-
sent knowledge of the ability of the
players would permit. Over ninety
men signed up to play, so it is believed
that no team will be short of player
material,
When the teams are selected theil
members will meet and choose cap
tain and adopt a name to be carried

Wagons win Cali at Request of Citi.
Civic Spirit Expected to Per-
wade All People During Campaign
Press Plans to Cooperate.

Cleanup week for American Falls
has been set for April Gath to 29th by
the American Falls Womens Club.
Committees are to be appointed and
the city council and community coun-
Gil have agreed to cooperate in fur
nishing wagons and stimulating in
terest in the program. Wagons will
call for rubbish and haul 1t TO the city

Cleanup week involves something
more than hauling away the rubbish.
1t means house cleaning, calsomining,
renovating the Easements that have
been closed all winter, grading and
cleaning the streets, painting buildings
and repairing foundations, roofs and
lawns, planting shrubbery, etc.
The Press, next issue will feature
Cleanup week with a double page
truck emphasizing the ways and means
of making cleanup week effective. II
will ask the cooperation of the mer-
chants in an advertising way and pub
lish stories designed to stimulate pride
in cleanliness and thrift and saving
But it is the people themelves thai
must awake to the situation and dc
the real cleaning. After their premi-
ses are cleaned they must be clothed
in the garb and aarmour of cleanliness
SO that the wanton desecrator win re-
spect and not defile them with furthei
accumulations of filth and disorder
This was the thought that stimulated
Allen w. Clark st. Louis man,to star
the big national idea of "CleanuI
Week" He organized campaigns II
nearly every city in the United States
and as result greatly reduced th'
death rate of infants, lowered the fir
hazard, rid the nation of billions %
flies. A clean up campaign wei
handled will arouse the civic respon
sibility in all classes and Will keep
constantly ON the alert.

TO THE PUBLIC!
BY III. C. Allen, Cashier, First
National Bank.

The merger of the two banks
i'm American Falls brings to us
greatly increased responsibility,
a responsibility we are not un-
mindful of and one that is di-
yided equally toward the patrons
of both banks.
The question of the most desir-
able location for the consolidated
bank has been extremely difficult
due to the geographical location
of the city. Neither the property
of the old First National nor that
Of the Evans State is centrally To-
Gated, hence neither location will
satisfy all our esteemed patrons.
Either location however would be
only temporary. In case Recla-
nation matters progress as ex-
pected we will In short time be
moving to a new and central To-
cation in cur model city. Should
some unforeseen circumstance pre-
vent the building of the American
Falls dam, we would Immediately
procure a central location and
establish ourselves in absolutely
new quarters where the united
interests of our community could
be served to mutual advantage
for all.
After due deliberatiOn we have
decided to operate temporarily
from the present location of the
Evans State Bank where every
facility at cur command will be
used In the service of our patrons,
In the many little difficulties
that may arise as we adjust our
selves to new conditions and X
our broader field of work, We ash
the undivided and earnest cOOpera
tiOn of all patrons, to the end tina
our community shall suffer th'
least from the present readjust
ment and face the future with In
creased opportunities for success

DISTRICT PETITION
MUST Be CHANGED
Circulation Among Waterusers Reveals
Large Amount of Acreage That
Should Not Be Included Redrafted
Form will Be Ready for Presenta
ton Within Week.

New petitions will have to be draft |
ed for presentation to land owners
who desire water from the proposed
American Falls reservoir, it was learn
ed early this week. Printing of the
new petitions will require a consider
able amount of time and will delay
formation of the big irrigation district
probably two weeks, according to re-
cIamation officials. It is believed that
names signed to the old petition which
has been found to include too much
land, will be transferable to the new
petitions.
Land coming within the district will
be cut approximately 100000 acres
compared with first inclusions in the
original petition. This will still keep
the proposed acreage we'll within the
minimum amount necessary for the
construction of the dam and reservoir.
Withdrawal Explained.
An explanation of the withdrawal
of the petitions from circulation in
their original form was contained
Monday in dispatch from Twin Falls.
The Twin Falls Canal Company pro-
tested the filing of the petition for
more than 100000 acres as compared
| The dispatch was as follows;
ALL petitions for the big irrigation
district have been withdrawn on ac-
count of the vigorous protest of the
| Twin Falls Canal company directors
and the Twin Falls district committee
and assurance has been given that the
northside acreage will be cut to about
100000 from a total of about 268,00O
acres, according to telegram re-
ceived by w. o. Taylor, secretary oi
the canal company from Guy Flenner
! secretary of the Idaho Reclamation
association.
Mr.. Flenner in substance states thai
! an agreement had been reached witt
r. E. Shepherd of Jerome after the pc
tition was drafted whereby the lands
complained of were to be withdrawn
. but it was thought that the petitions
might be signed and the land the1
withdrawn after they had been filed t.
save time. However, withdrawal o
the the petitions has now been decides
: on and the new ones, eliminating tn
, land in question will be sent and vii
: soon be ready for circulation.
