ingtOn said: The American White
Cross is a National Protestant Chris,
tian hospital movement. 1t is but one
year old but has done more than
100000 of free hospital work.
It's purpose is to encourage the
building, and assist in maintaining
protestant christian hospitals; to Sc
cure young ladies for nurse training
and provide free hospital care for
the worthy poor. 1t is one of the
greatest movements of the day and
is spreading like wild fire. We have
but little more than half enough
hospitals in the U. S., hence more
than million sick and suffering
folks go uncared for each year"
Hospitals are not self support.
ing and must be maintained as char.
liable institutions in order to operate
successfully.
THE White Cross seeks to sup
ply this deficit by taking care of the
free work AS fast as this is pro-
ded the churches can safely take
over the management of hospital as
may be desired.
at is worthy cause that merits
the support of everyone"

The All Parts Wrecking Co., who
recently came here from Nampa, are
now doing business in the old cream
cry building just west of the Payette

goods consisting of about $4,000
worth of wrecking goods arrived this

good business as many owners of
old cars have heretofore had more
or less difficulty in finding the ne,
cessaTy parts when needed. 1t is
also an opportunity for disposing OF

TEAM CAUSES EXCITEMENT.

A runaway team IS about as big
curiosity now as an automobile
was twenty-five years ago. The ex>
hibition on Center Avenue, Wednes-
day afternoon created no little
amount of excitement. We are not
informed as to who furnished the
entertainment and had no time for
taking notes as they were sure in
high gear. The driver managed to
miss all of the autos but done good
job in stearing the team into a big
tree by the filling station where the
wagon was left somewhat disfigured
but the team rather increased their
speed down Ninth street and if they
haven't stopped, they are evidently
going yet. No one was hurt.

LOCALS WERE FIRM

Amer. Gas and Amer. Railways
Pfd. Make New Tops on
Small Transactions

Continued irmncss Of Pennsylvania
Railroad was about the only reflection
of the switch TO the railroads in the
local market. The general list had
firm tone. but the dealings ,vcrc on n
very small scale and for the most part
were made up of odd lots. Price
changes were confined TO fractions with
the greater part Of the more prominent
local shares stationary.
West Jersey and Scashorc and
American Railways were firm Mt the
weeks top prices. American Gas with
small transactions made n new high y
at IL. representing recovery of ~
points from the low price last year
when dividends were suspended. Lake
superior was also n shade higher on
the announcement Of the election of an
additional Philadelphia interest on the
board of directors of that corporation.
American Stores common rallied at 80,
while the preferred slipped back
point to 11J.
Following the lead Of the larger
banks, most CT the other local inStitu..
tions announced reduction Of the call
rate 20 ) per cent. There was con-
tident belief on the street that the Fed
eral Reserve Bank would make n fur
next week. which belief was strength
cnCd by reason of the highly favorable
| statement not only Of the local Federal
| Reserve Bank. but also ns applying to
| the entire Federal Reserve system.
A striking feature attending the din
| nor OF Group ! Of tho Pennsylvania
! Bankers Association last night was the
optimistic views expressed on all sides
regarding the future. This not only
applied TO the financial situation. but
extended as well to the commercial in
tercStS. Those present were in position
! to know the pulse of the country and
the widely intcrChanging Of views was
! Illuminating to say the least. AS Il
matter of fact, from point Of intorma .
tion the conversations prior 70 the dim
ncr were decidedly more prolific than
the rather dry statistical get addresses
of the speakers Of the evening. They
were interesting. TO be sure, but they
concerned matters, conditions and sub
jects with which every banker present
was fully aware and had been strug-
Cling with in some form or other for
II year or more. The big fact of the
nights gathering was Everybody pres
Cnt was in n highly optimistic mood,
and such sentiment IS certain TO become
contagious, especially when it CmanatCs
from such an important source.
