| NEW METHODIST CHURCH
 IS SOUGHT AT MILLPORT

MILLPORT, Ala. Feb. 2s.-(Spe- eial )--There is quite a bit of interest being manifest in Millport over the talk of erecting a new Methodist church building. The present build ing is not only greatly in need of re- pairs, but is also quite inadequate to take care of the Sunday school needs of the local Methodist congrega gation. The new church building has been agitated for the past few years.
 A building committee is soon to be named to decide definitely as to when a new building will be undertaken and as to the kind of building to be erected

The Idaho Potato Exchange

clinentS and patrons is to say that the
principle of orderly marketing is right and
is the farmers best hope, but each man
should go in or stay out on his own judg-
ment, and the organization must manage
its business knowing that its success or
failure depends on how it is managed as
well as upon its being based on right plans
and principles.
After all differences were harmonized,
it was agreed to take up the work of get
ting more contracts among growers who
for various reasons have failed to sign,
and for the next few days committees will
accompany speakers at the evening meet
ings and will spend the days comforting
with growers who want information on
the subject. Bingham county is already
10 per cent contracted, and these men
are out to raise the percentage to as near
100 as they can and keep Bingham the
banner county in the movement for the
Potato Exchange and orderly marketing.
A meeting is announced for Firth for
this Friday evening and for Aberdeen
Saturday evening the eighth, with w. S.
Hill the principal speaker. Mr.. Hill is
the secretary of the Colorado Federation
of Farm Bureaus, is a member of the
directorate of the national farm bureau,
was for four years with the extension de-
partment of the University of Colorado,
and came here at the request of the tenn
porary officers of the Idaho Potato Ex-
change, with the approval of Aaron
Sipero. He is working on salary for
the Colorado farm bureaus, and came
here by their consent with the understand
ing that this exchange is to pay his salary
for the time he works here. He does
not receive commissions on the member
ships signed here. 1t is the Sipero plan to
get the states bound together in national
sales agency by April, 1924, to control
the movement of potatoes to the consum-
ers, to stop the shipment of Maine and
New Jersey potatoes to the middle west,
to stop the shipment of western potatoes
to the Atlantic states and the glutting Of
markets everywhere.

RESERVOIR VISITORS

Mrs. B. B. Reynolds and little
daughter Virgie came in from the
BlackfOOt reservoir on Labor Day tc
stay week or so. Mr.. Reynolds has
been for many years in charge of Tie
government property and the dam
and Mrs. Reynolds shares much of
the virgils and responsibilities.
Two years ago when party repre-
senting the Greater Fort Hall Irri-
cation association visited the dam in
company with Senator Dubois and
Addison T. Smith, Mrs. Reynolds
prepared an elaborte dinner for the
party When asked about the en-
vironments of the place and what
she needed which the government
might supply, she said she needed a
bath tub and Ford car, and Mr.
Smith noted it to be placed in the
estimate and budget for operating
the government for the following
year. Mrs. Reynolds says she got
the bath tub installed all right, and
now has a prospect of having used
Ford car allotted to their equipment
pretty soon.
Mr. and Mrs Reynolds remain at
the dam thruOut the year, and for
long time the snow is too deep for
anything but snowshoes. They have
telephone connections with FIT. Hall
forty miles away, and their nearest
source of supplies is Soda Springs,
about thirty-f1ve or forty miles, or
Bancroft, shorter distance, but
walled off by a ridge of mountains
