Interest Increases When
Friends of Statesmen see
Their Names on List of
Members.
Will Drop Laggards
If You Have Not Entered
as a Salesman, There Is
Yet Time The Worker
Will Win.

The first announcement of the
names Of those who are entered in the
Tribune's big craftsmanship campaign
is made today. As the campaign is
just starting and no one has any great
amount of credits to their standing, the
real standing of the club members will
not be announced for few days, at
which time the real race for the prizes
will start.
All club members who do not have
few subscriptions to their credit by
the end of this week will have their
names dropped from the list in order
that those who are working may know
whom their competitors will be- This
is also done to show the public who is
really interested in the campaign and
who is working.
While there are number of names
entered on the list, yet this does not
mean that all of them are working, for
very few, UP to this time have done
any real work. Most of those entered
to date have not done any work at all,
but are depending upon their friends
for support and this is a mistake, for
while their friends are willing to help
them, it is up to the club members
themselves to show little initiative
by getting out and working and thus
show their friends that they are willing
to do their share in order to gain the
support of their supporters and friends.
In addition to the names, which ap-
pear on the list, there are number
of others whose names were sent in
and each was notified but failed to
respond to the letters sent them by the
campaign manager, but this does not
mean that they cannot enter now.
Anyone may enter any time up to the
close of the first period but if you are
interested you should enter your name
right away and get busy, The first
period is the real time to work for it's
then that you get the most credits for
the subscriptions. If you have not al
ready entered be sure and do so right
away. Do it today.

BOLT ST R|KES
NA|MPA CAPITOL
Tightening Hits City
Hall; Damage is
Slight.

NAMPA-Nampa citizens will new
err know just how near their city hall
came to burning last Tuesday when
the electric storm blazed and thunder
ed over their heads at $50 O'Clock in
the afternoon. In some peculiar way
bolt OF lightning struck the electric
wiring outside the building and pass
ed through the wires into the upper
rooms OF the city hall coming out in
two distinct places, at one place in
the switchboard that is constructed in
the wall above the stairs and at the
other in the brass wall plate in the
upstairs lavatory
The brass wall plate was found on
the floor, red hot, with hole the size
of fifty-cent piece through its center.
The fuse was burnt out and the walls
slightly charred, but no other evidence
of the lightning's might was discern
able The first indication that the
switchboard was touched was had
when the electrician came to repair
the other damage 1t was then found
that lightning had bored three-quar-
ter-inch through the iron plate
that forms the outer covering of the
switchboard and that the various APP
paratus inside were badly twisted and
burned Several metal handles were
completely melted away. The hole
through the iron plate was as neatly
made as though drilled by hand. The
City Hall was practically empty a
the time of the storm so that the
building had as close a call as can be
imagined. The part that is now baff-
ling the various Sherlock Holme.
around the building is. what became
of the lightning after it was released
into the building and how is it that
so much voltage could do so little
damage. Up to date, the only solution
of the problem is that some trick O.
good fortune directed the current on
of the window

Potato Market Is
Still Going Down.
Chicago Quotations On
Tuesday at New Low
Level; No Shipment

Potato markets continued down.
ward over Labor Day, according to
the federal bureau of markets report
issued daily from field office estab-
lished in Caldwell. Practically all
shipments from this territory have
ceased for the time being. Chicago
Tuesday reported 1888 cars on track,
larger quantity than normal this sea-
son.
Markets continued their slump of
the weekend and Idaho potatoes were
quoted in Chicago at $l.l5, the lowest
mark, with the exception of a few
sales reported Saturday that has been
set this year at Chicago. Other mid
dlewestern and southern market quo
tations are practically the same.
The Canyon county farm bureau
is devoting considerable work at pres
ent to storage of potatoes. Many
growers of the early variety have kept
their ground wet and expect to ma
ture the Rurals and store them. Spec
ulation is rife on the probate prices for
late potatoes but the consensus of op-
inion, based on crop forecasts for the
entire country, indicate huge crop
of late potatoes and probable attending
low prices.

ARSON ATTEMPT
N|PPED IN B I'D
Blaze i'm Vacant House
Quickly Extinguished
Monday.

What is believed by county author
tiles to have been a clear case of at
tempted arson occurred Monday eve
ming when the Caldwell fire depart
ment, by quick work, extinguished a
blaze with only nominal loss in a resi-
dence on First and Aven streets, the
property of the DeMoss estate. No
arrests have been made as yet since
there is no apparent reason for the
attempted destruction of the property
and little basis upon which to inves-
tigate the alleged crime.
They'll have to arrange to give a
fire an awful good start if it beats
this department now" was the COM
ment made by Fire Chief H. c. Gill
lette on the incident. "You might
tell them, too that they ought to
learn lot more about how to start
a fire than these persons, whoever
they are, seemd to know"
Papers, generously saturated with
kerosene, were placed in a doorway
in the vacant one story frame house.
Another point for ignition was estab-
lished in the attic near an entrance in
the ceiling. AT both points, members
of the fire department picked up
matches which had evidently been
used i'll starting the blaze. Kerosene
also saturated the ceiling and walls
even in the bathroom.
So prompt was the response of the
fire department that the flames we're
quickly under control, leaving evidence
of the attempt to start the fire. Since
the DeMoss estate is in the process
of probating following recent double
tragedy in which DeMoss first shot
his wife and then committed suicide
county officials are at loss to ac-
count for the attempt to destroy this
property. One insurance policy, said
to be for $500. is believed 70 be the
only live policy on the property
Clarence Hill, county attorney, is per,
sonally conducting the investigation.

SPECIAL TEXAS
| D AID GRANTED
Shipping Conditions now
Conform with those to
Other Points.

Last spring potato growers from
this territory worked hard with the
railroad officials in an attempt to get
$4,000 pound minimum on potatoes
to Texas points. The 24,O00 pound
minimum already applies on early po-
tato shipments to most eastern points
other than Texas into which Idaho
potatoes are shipped However, when
potatoes are shipped to Texas points,
the vegetable rate instead OF potato
rate must be paid if only $4,000 lbs
are put in a car
After having worked on this propo-
sition for some time, the local grow
ers took the matter up with the Farm
Bureau office and requested assist
anee. w. t. Mccall, the county
agent accordingly took this matter
up with the California Vegetable IN
ion while on his trip to California in
July. D. j. Hogan, the traffic mana
ger for the Union at Los Angeles.
Immediately got in communication

system, and asked that the $4,000
! lb. minimum on potatoes from Idaho
to Texas be established and asked
that Mr. Reeves take this matter up
Immediately with all interested roads
and attempt to get the new rate into
effect.

Dear Sir
"Your telegram of July II with
reference to minimum weights on ear
ly potatoes to Texas:
"We submitted this proposition to
the Southwestern Freight Bureau and

osition had been recommended by the
standing rate committee and provid-
ing no objections are filed Mr.. Leland

Because of the fact that this matter
was not taken up until July 18th,
however, will make it impossible for
the rates to become effective in time
for the rates to be of any benefit this
year, nevertheless, Mr.. Hogan and the
California Vegetable Union are to be
congratulated on having gotten re-
suits so quickly.

HOPPER MENACE
GAN Be FOUGHT
Greenleaf Farmers Prove
Spray is Effective
Remedy.

G. l.. Armstrong, chairman of the
Greenleaf local of the Canyon County
Farm Bureau has demonstrated con
clusvely that it is easy to prevent
grasshoppers from destroying crop
OF head lettuce. In former issue OF
the Farm Bureau News we outlined
methods for grasshopper control
among them being the plan of spray
ing with sodium arsenite, Mr.. Arm.
strong decided to try the sodium ar
semitic spray and as result of his
efforts he destroyed practically all the
grasshoppers in the territory sur
rounding his lettuce field with one
application of the spray.
The mixture Mr. Armstrong used
was IA pounds sodium arsenite, 4
pound spreader and so gallons water
This mixture was applied with reg
ular orchard spray outfit over the
ditch banks and over the clover and
alfalfa fields adjoining the lettuce
field Dead grasshoppers are lying
about the field at the present time by
the thousands and practically no dam
age has been done to the lettuce crop.
Neighboring fields which were not
treated in this way have in some cases
been badly hurt and a few growers
have lost their entire crop because OF
grasshoppers.
The idea of spraying for eradication
of grasshoppers originated in Canyon
county seven years ago when about
5000 acres Of clover was sprayed III
order to destroy the grasshoppers that
were attacking the clover fields and
destroying the seed crop. The re-
suits over the county at that time were
satisfactory, except that in some cases
the fields of clover were burned by
the sodium arsenite. Where the spray
ing is done for grasshopper control
a little burning of the surrounding
fields is not important Sodium arsen-
lite is by far the best poison to use
for destroying grasshoppers because
of the fact that it has a burning effeci
on the stomach of the hopper as wei
as an effect from the poison and the
two combined are almost certain deatl

enough, taking no small share in the
victories won by the Boise club. Their
stick work, in particular, was of high

Paris green is more effective on
beetles than white arsenic The
Paris green and bran should be mixed
together dry, after which the water
and acetate should be mixed together
and sprinkled over the bran as it is
being stirred. Do not add enough
water to make bran wet 1t should
be only moist enough so that it will
crumble nicely and not hold together.
Apply late in the evening by spread
ing light strip along each row of
lettuce or between two rows of lettuce
if planted on the ridge.
Mr. Wakeland states that bran mash
has recently been found to be effective
in controlling number of insects
which have heretofore been uncon-
trolable, hence he feels that the bran
mash formula as above will be we'll
worth trying for the eradication of
the June beetle. Mr.. Wakeland also
states that in his opinion the beetle
will fly to the lettuce field at night in
stead of having been hauled there
with manure since both the larvae
and adult are feeders on live plant
matter.-Farm Bureau News.
