Alma is proud of the Republic

The Republic truck first saw the
Light of day in the small remaining
portion Of the original plant, pur-
chased from the Alma Manufacturing
Company, and which has now grown
to be the largest exclusive truck plant
in the World.
IT was Alma money, brains and in
ltiauve that made the Republic truck
possible. One of the present Direc-
tors, Francis King, was the first Pres
ldent Of the Company, and the man
who financed the business in its in
fancy, and afterwards, with his per-
sonal fortune and his credit. One of
the newly elected Directors, Charles
q. Rhodes, was Republics first Treas
urer and helped shape the policies of
the Company in its early stages.
During the nine years since the
Kepublic Company was started, it has
built, sold and delivered approximate
ly Eighty-nine million dollars worth
OF motor trucks at wholesale prices. in
addition to the sale Of several million
dollars worth Of service parts, an
nually.
Republic has paid in salaries and
wages during this period, almost ten
million dollars, most of which has
been spent in Alma and vicinity
serving thus to support the local mer.
chants and banks, and Republics
taxes have paid for the operation OF
the Alma schools and City govern.

Bad Check Artist
Seen at Homedale.

Canyon county officers Saturday
afternoon conducted a futile search
in the Gem district for Charles Green
field, we'll known in that community,
who is wanted in Boise county on
charge of raising check from SIS
to $500. Last Wednesday Greenfield
cashed the check in Horseshoe Bend
about 2 o'clock in the morning. 1t
bore the signature of we'll known
Boise county resident and Greenfield
is reported to have had no difficulty
cashing the paper.
The next afternoon he was seen in
Homedale where he spent the after
noon and evening. Friday, his car was
believed to have been seen there and
the supposition is that he remained in
that district at least two days. No
clues could be obtained, however, as
to his probable destination upon leav-
ing Homedale and officers have beer
unable to trace him.

Effort Made to Get
Military Band Here.

Efforts are being made, with con-
siderable hope of success, to bring the
Idaho national guard band to Cald
well. The musical organization of the
Idaho regiment, allotted originally to
Pocatello, was disbanded last week be-
cause of lack of interest. Mastering
officers were in Caldwell last week
end in an attempt to place the band
here. Considerable interest has already
been aroused. J. J. Smith. municipal
band leader, is understood to be fav-
orable to the plan and has offered to
take the leadership of the military or
ganization provided it can be estab-
lished here. The war department pro-
vides instruments and music, both of
which it is believed will be of service
in advancing the civilian organization
and. at the same time give Caldwell
uniformed military musical organiza.
ton that will be available for semi.
military purposes.
