TO
COME JULY IS
Weeks Program Prom
ises to Be Good and
Varied One

A wealth of musical and entertain
ment features, and a lecture that will
open up many new lines of thought
and observation, is indicated from the
advance information just received
from Ellison-White concerning the
coming Chautauqua program. The
dates for the Caldwell Chautauqua
have been definitely set for July 1920.
Turn to the Right" the greatest of
all American plays, sweet, clean,
wholesome and inspiring, will probab-
ly draw one of the biggest crowds of
the week. 1t is to be produced by pro-
fessional players from the studios of
Elias Day, famous Chicago Coach.
Two Observation-Disclosures fea-
lures of more than ordinary worth will
be the music-lecture-concert by Eve
lyn McFarlane McClusky, which will
give us all a deeper and fuller appre-
citation of this greatest of all arts-mu-
sic, and the programs of Princess
TeAta and company. whose interpre-
tations of Indian legends. songs, and
dances, bring to their audiences truer
conception of the characteristic beauty
of Indian arts.
Then there is Beatrice Weller, clever
chalk-talk artist; Alice Louise Shrode,
child artist, who sings and whistles
her way into the hearts of her auditors
OF all ages; and Winifrcd Windus, the
beautiful and gifted reader, who pre-
sents six Cylinder Love"
Heading the lecture list is Jamie
Heron. Scotch humorist. who is said
to be composite of Harry Lauder
and Bobbic Burns. He gives much OF
his own verse in the inimitable Scotch
dialect. which helps to emphasize the
many points in his brilliant lecture,
Building Better Business by Building
Better Men" Other prominent names
found in the liss OF lecturers arc Ng
Poon Chew, Chinese editor. statesman
and orator; Tom Skeyhill, Australian
soldier-poet. who has just returned
from Europe with the greatest lecture
of his career.
That the musical end OF the program
has not been sighted is evident with
such organizations and individual ar
lists as the following on the hst;
James Hamilton. lyric tenor; Charles
Mitchell | Mixers Orchestral Quartet
Guy Mariner. New Zealand pianist;
Leslie Taylor. Scotch vioIirist; and
Thaviu's Exposition Band, headed by
the Thaviu himself.

Police Start Out
To Enforce Rules
Proper Parking at Post
Office Will Be the
First Objective.

City motorists who park their cars
in every conceivable fashion on Kim
ball avenue while doing business at
the post office are likely to end up
in the city police court il the practice
is continued. according to an announ-
cement made Monday mornig by w.
F. Howard, new chief of police. Many
motorists, Mr. Howard pointed out.
are in the habit OF stopping their ma
chimes at the post office contrary
to the city parking ordinances. some
OF them leaving the engine running,
while they go to the post office for
mail. Frequently in the morning hours
the street is almost blocked as a re
suit of this practice. Mr.. Howard
pointed out.
Formal warning through legal no
tice as published elsewhere in this is
sue of The Tribune will be given be-
fore any arrests are made, Mr.. How
ard stated Monday. Another frequent
though minor. violation of the traffic
rules which has come to the police
departments attention is the wi'fu
negligence OF many motorists in fail
ing to signal when they turn on city
street corners. This practice, Mr.
Howard believes. is dangerous and an
effort may be made shortly to induce
motorists to comply with the estab-
lished methods OF indicating turns
particularly in the business district

Receipts Will Reach ST.
900, 900; Construction
Goes Forward.

Boise.-On Tuesday, May 22 for the
first time since his Inauguration, Gov
crpor Moore gathered about him for
an informal conference the state Off
cials and heads of departments. All
were present except three or four who
were unavoidably detained on state
business outside the city.
Governor Moore cordially invited
the assembled officials to speak freely
on any matters bearing on state gov
ernment. requesting suggestions which
might further the administrators
program of greater economy without
lessening efficiency. He told them, so
far as he was concerned. his admins
tration would be entirely democratic,
and he wanted the heads of the re-
spective departments to feel free to
come to him at any time to discuss
matters that might come before them.
Also" the Governor continued. Il
expect to make visit to each of the
departments in the state house as soon
as the time is available so ! can be-
come acquainted with the employees in
each of the offices and obtain a gen.
eral knowledge of the particular work
in which each department is inter-
ested."
Discussions on the Crooks law.
passed by the 1923 legislature. was one
of the chief topics taken up at the con-
ference.
Saturday afternoon holidays for a
part OF the employees in each office
each week during the summer months,
or from June lst TO October lst, and
annual vacations for state employees,
were also discussed Ii was decided
that two weeks annual vacation OH
pay should be given all state employees.
Such wide differences of opinion sx-
listed on the subject of Saturday after
noon holidays that the meeting ad-
journed without any definite policy be-
ing established.
The governor took firm stand on
the question OF travel by state en-
ployes in and out of the state, and lett
with his listeners the following rule
regarding communication witt other
parts of the state or country

of the telephone and telegraph;

TWIN FALLS IS
LOOKING AHEAD
Promise of Railroad and
Good Crops Stirs
District

The Twin Falls country isn't exact
ly booming but prospects are good for
the whole district, according to George
Ackley, former Caldwell resident. who
is engaged in business at Twin Falls.
Two things have contributed the de-
cided note OF optimism pervading that
territory, according to Mr.. Aokley,
who was a week end visitor here.
Prospects are bright for bumper farm
crops and farmers generally believe
that profitable prices will be obtained
for most of their produce.
In addition, Twin Falls is elated at
the prospect of the construction OF a
railroad to Wells, Nevada. opening
the California marketing field by a
short and direct route. To prove that
the city wants this road and is willing
to pay to get II in a hurry. Mr.. Ackley
cited that in few days. $4,000 was
raised 10 take over the charter of the
old defunct company.
Whatever additional finances will be
necessary to build the road, Mr.. Ack-
ley believes. will be promptly prov'd-
ed. That the Union Pacific proposes
20 Immediately build the Wells line IS
evidenced from the speed with which
details OF the transaction arc being
closed.

HOW THE LEAGUE HELPED AUSTRIA

No more striking or convincing evidence is needed to prove
the value of the League of Nations to the world and to show
what it can accomplish in adjusting international affairs when
given half a chance, than the progress made by Austria to"afa
the establishment of a stable government since the war. The con-
8dence that the world has in Austria today is shown by the pop
uIarity of the $l28O 100000 loan which was placed on the market
by that government yesterday. The quota which was allotted the
United States, $685. 1000 was oyer-subscribed within fifteen
minutes.
Austria was literally cut to pieces by the war. When the va
rious races and nationalitfes that formerly made up what was
known as Austria Hungary, had set up their little republics there
was little left of Austria but the proverbial grease spot Inc
proud city of Vienna and the territory Immediately surrounding
# is all that remains Of what was once the haughtiest empire in
Europe.
When Austria was hopeessly PROSTATE she appealed to the
League of Nations as her only salvation. A committee was ap-
pointed by the league to study the situation, particularly IN ref
M to Austria finances. As a result Of this investigation the
league agreed to help Austria provided she agreed to certain con-
ditions. As Austria had nothing to lose either way, the eondi-
tons war; accented. One of these conditions was that a commits
soner general be appointed by the league to take hold OF the gov
ernment's affairs. For this difficult task DR.. Alfred Zimmerman
formerly burgomaster of Rotterdam, Holland, was selected He
became practically the dictator of the country.
Little has been heard of Austria in the meantime. Slowly
but surely the commissioner general, under the protection ana
guidance of the League of Nations, has been Strengthening out
the country's affairs, bringing order out of chaos. We see the re-
suit today when Austria, backed by the League of Natons' is
able to float a $685. 100000 loan in the markets of the world and
the securities are eagerly bought up by investors as absolutely
safe.
The League of Nations scores heavily in this achievement. 1t
is only an incident, however, showing what can be done when the
leading nations of the world stand together for a common pur-
nose. And who can deny that the United States, along with all
the other countries, is ~benefting directly by this work beng
doneq And how much more could be done if the United States
fbe richest and most powerful nation, and the nation in which the
rest of the world has the most confidence, were a part OF the
laagueY Surely there is much to be said for the league, after all
Does # not seem that the least we can do in helping adjust world
affairs would be to follow President Harding's idea in joining the
