Pave Way for Big
Marketing Program
California Firm Head
Here to Perfect Or
ganization.

Mr.. Thomas O'Neill, president of
California Vegetable Union and G. D
Hutford, field superintendent, arrived
in Caldwell Thursday to complete ar
engagements for the handling and sale
OF the head lettuce and potatoes con-
trolled by the Idaho Producers I'm
ION. Growers throughout the State
OF, Idaho are being signed up by Idaho
Producers Union for the marketing of
their head lettuce and potatoes and
the California Vegetable Union has
been employed to act in the capacity
OF selling agent for the local Union.
Mr.. O'Neill reports that supply of
head lettuce seed sufficient for all
members of the Idaho Producers I'm
ion has already been purchased and
will be delivered to the Union mem-
bers in Idaho and eastern Oregon az
later date. During Mr.. O'Neilrs
stay in Idaho, it is probable that all
details concerning packing plants for
head lettuce production and other mat
tiers of equal Importance to the grow
ers will be worked out.
Because of the large volume of bust
ness being signed Up by the Idaho
Producers Union, both in potatoes
and head lettuce, it will be necessary
to organize the territory quite thor.
oughly in order to be able to give
members of the Union the best pos
sible service in handling and selling
their products. For this, reason, the
selling agency represented by Mr.
O'Neill is on the job early with the
idea of leaving nothing undone that
will contribute to a successful handi-
ing of both potato and head lettuc
crops.

NO MORE SEEDS.

With spring hardly more than pro-
mise, the big quantity of government
seeds which The Tribune has distribut-
ed to those who asked for them, is ex-
hausted. Enquiries for these garden
seeds came to the office from all sec
tons of southwestern Idaho and east
ern Oregon. Gardening has been held
up because of inclement weather but
those who plant must live in hopes
because most of the seeds were dis
tributed shortly after the first an
nouncement month ago and there
has been little opportunity to plan,
them even yet.

team continued its triumphant march
to the championship of the Boise Val
ley district by soundly trouncing Nam
pa here Tuesday evening. The score,
III only partially indicates Caldwelfs
superiority since bunglesome base
running cost the Caldwell team several
certain runs and Bardsley, who sub
stituted for Field in the box the last
two innings, paved the way for a
Nampa score in the final frame by his
,fnsteadiness.
Clean, hard hitting won the game
for Caldwell. f. Lowell, Lawson and
Lyke in particular looked good with
the stick, Two Nampa moundsmen
were called to the bench and the
third Dump" Compton, a southpaw
wasn't treated with any particular con-
sideration,
Because OF the track meet with

JONES RESIGNS
PLACE At HEAD
Of HIGH SCHOOL
Accepts New Position in
Chicago; Board Consol-
idates Two School Of
fees.

Howard E. A. Jones, for two years
principal Of the Caldwell junior and
senior high school, Wednesday tender
ed his resignation at a special meeting
of the Caldwell school board 1t was
accepted.
Mr.. Jones had already been tender
ed the position he now holds for next
year and fully expected to remain in
Caldwell. A Geographic offer from
the Country Day school in Chicago
at substantially increased salary,
suddenly changed his plans and his
resignation followed. Mr.. Jones is to
complete the present school year with
Caldwell. The institution with which
Mr.. Jones is to be associated is a large
private institution. He is to hold the
position of assistant principal.
No successor will be employed. it
is announced. J. ]. Rae, present sup
erintendent of schools, is to act next
year in the dual capacity of principal
and superintendent. Mr.. Rae himself
suggested this plan and the board
promptly accepted it. The idea is
not new, however, having been recent
ly thoroughly discussed at Nampa
where rigid economy is essential in
the operation of the school system
Here, it is Mr.. Rae is confident that
he can take care of the routine work
of both offices and effect substan-
tial saving for the district.
Il can see no logical reason why
these two offices should not be COM
bined," w. S. Maxey, a member of
the school board for a number of
years said recently. Il believe that
dual headed organization is not war
ranted, that the executive overhead is
out of proportion to the total expend-
itures of the district and that one ca
pable executive can fill both places.
Perhaps an additional instructor will
be necessary to take care of class work
but even if this be true, I think the
saving will be considerable and that
no sacrifice will be made in the eff
cheney of the school system"
Mr.. Jones has made many friends in
Caldwell through his work with the
schools. Together with Mr. Rae, Mr..
Jones has helped to place the schools
on smoothly operating basis.

HIGH
TO MEET NAMP A
First Dual Meet of the
Season Here This
Afternoon.

Whether Caldwell high. school is to
place any men in the big southern
Idaho interscholastic track meet to
be staged May on the College of
Idaho field may be determined at a
dual meet to be held with Nampa here
this afternoon. While this meet will
not determine any athletics eligibility
for the district contest, it will give
some lineup on the capabilities of the
Caldwell squad,
The meet will begin promptly at
l 80 p. m. and will mark the dedication
of the new track field on the college
campus. Fair weather and fairly fast
track are expected to give Caldwell
and Nampa high athletes chance to
show their real wares
Thus far, nothing is known of the
strength of the two teams. Friday will
be the first appearance this spring OF
both teams. James Jackson, Cald.
we'll mentor, has been putting big
squad of men through rigorous pre-
paratory program and believes that
he has developed a fairly capable
squad. Not less than four Ineligible
ties because of low grades has Gu,
materially into his teams chances.
Wayne Myers, hurdler and relay man.
D. Lowell and two Platt boys are all
eliminated from the meet because. OF
low scholastic standing.
Jackson believes that he has a re.
lay team in Herder, Lamb, Dicus and
Hanley that may work its way to the
district meet Tom Welsh in the
vault will stage his usual battle with
Compton of Nampa and this event
promises to be both close and excit-
ing. Last year Welsh lost by a mar.
row margin but Compton is reported
to have never eQualled his last years
record.
Eight track events from the fifty
yard dash to the mile run and includ.
ing two hurdles events and six FIELD
events, weights and jumps, make ur
! the program.

Wheat Growers To
Talk Pool Plan.
May Affiliate With AS
ISOLATION; Up to Pro-
ducers.

Wheat growers of Canyon county
are to be called together Saturday
April 20, at the Parrish
house in Nampa, to discuss the advis-
ability of affiliating with the North
west Wheat Growers associated in
their wheat pool. This announcement
has just been made by S. E. Yaggy,
the wheat project leader for the Can
yon County Farm Bureau.
Report received from other states
already affiliated with the Northwest
Wheat Growers associated and from
other counties here in Idaho indicate
that the wheat pool for 1921 was a
big success" said Mr.. Yaggy Thurs
day in discussing the matter.
The meeting called for the 10Th is
being called to ascertain whether or
not Canyon county wheat growers de-
sire to organize. The farm bureau
stands ready to conduct the work of
organizing, provided the growers are
interested. 1t will be left entirely to
the growers themselves, however
whether or not this matter will be
taken up as bureau project for the
present year. Every wheat grower
in the county and in this territory who
is interested in the pooling of whea,
should attend this meeting.

XIV AN|ANS To
ENTERC0NTEST
FOR BIG HONOR
Will Try to Name Girl
To Attend Internation-
al Gathering Next June
At Toronto.

Jess Gowen, Caldwell Kiwanis club
representative to the international
convention at Toronto in June, is to
have a chaperone if members of the
local club can arrange it.
And, to be perfectly honest, the
chaperone is to be none other than
the prettiest young thing in Caldwell
According to directions she must be
just the right height, weight between
l20 and 135 pounds and otherwise
qualify as lovely bit of humanity.
This is how it is. Kiwanis clubs of
Idaho will be entitled to send one
Idaho girl to the convention. She is
to have her expenses paid and upon
! arrival is to be feted and take a place
of honor in a carnival that will be
shared by other and similar girls from
every state and every province of the
United States and Canada.
And the right to choose the Idaho
representative goes to the Idaho XII
wants club showing the largest per-
centage of attendance at the next four
weekly luncheons. Thursday the
Caldwell club definitely entered the
list as a contender for the honor of
selecting this representative who, by
preference, is to be a near relative of
some club member.
Attendance records of every Kiwan-
ian are closely kept and percentages
frequently compiled. For the next
month the board of directors of the
local club will exert unusual efforts
to boost the local clubs attendance
close to the 100 per cent mark Co.
operation of the secretary to insure
this mark was suggested Thursday by
Caldwell member but Mr.. Gowen,
who keeps the records, avowed that
his count on attendance will be abb
solutely unbiased and Mechanically
accurate.
Max Mayheld, Boise Kiwanian, sug-
gested the organization of the club
membership into details, each detail
to be headed by some person. Some
plan may be worked out
But the surest way to send Cald-
well girl on this transcontinental trip
in the opinion of many members, is tc
enlist the support of the girls and wo.
men themselves who cap exercise pres
sure to insure husbands. brothers ant
fathers getting to every luncheon.
Expenses for this special delegate
are to be met by a special assessment
upon Idaho clubs on the basis of mem
bership. Idaho has six Kiwanis clubs
one each at Twin Falls, Boise, Idaho
Falls, St. Anthony, Pocatello and Cald
we'll.

COLD WEATHER is
BLOW TO FARMING.
Unusual Spring Retards
Work; Fruit Not In
jured.

BOISE-The past week was cold
and cloudy. Showers and heavy snow
squalls were of frequent occurrence.
The nights were exceptionally cold
for the season, with heavy frosts and
temperatures much below freezing.
Thick ice formed and the ground was
heavily crusted almost every night in
exposed places.
From an agricultural viewpoint it
was a most untoward week. In few
of the sheltered valleys with a sandy
soil, some progress was made in plow-
ing and seeding few localities report
early potatoes being planted, but for
the most part the fields were too wet
to be worked successfully. In the
higher farming regions of the state
the fields are still snow covered. Not
much progress was made in orchard
work as the high winds and frequent
rain and snow squalls made spraying
difficult and largely ineffective.
In view of the heavy freezing that
occurred, it is probably fortunate that
the fruit buds in most sections of the
state are still practically dormant
There has been little, if any, growth
OF pasture and range grasses during
the week. All forms of vegetation are
exceptionally backward
Many bands of sheep have been
moved to the low range, but in some
localities both cattle and sheep are
still being cared for on the feed lots.
Hay is getting scarce in some COM
munities. Livestock are generally re-
ported in good condition.
