MARKETING PLAN
PROMISES SUCCESS
IDAHO FALLS WRITER PREDICTS
SUCCESS FOR COOPERATIVE
MOVEMENT IN IDAHO

Idaho Falls-Following many years
of experiment and trial, the co-opera-
tive marketing movement among the
growers of Idaho is now on a safe
and logical basis, with promise of
substantial results, according to a
story run in the Idaho Falls Times
Register
The story follows in part:
" The. movement is now an assured
success for the reason that the farm
er and producer is not depending on
his own efforts alone, but there has
come to his rescue the organized busi-
ness element of the nation
The help has not come so much
on account of any solicitation on the
part of the farmer and grower, but
from the fact that well organized and
established business has come to the
realization that when the farmer fails
to make profit from his investment
and labor all business suffers.
So severe has been the loss to the
agricultural industry the past three
years the country over, and SO insist
ant have been the demands for relief
that business in general is interesting
itself in helping the farmer get on
his feet in such way that he can
re-establish himself
"The fact has been thoroughly de-
monstrated that through politics alone
the expected and needed relief can
not come. The man on the farm Is
not looking for an opportunity to bor-
row more money but is looking for
an opportunity to market his product
SO that he will be able to pay the
money he has borrowed and put him
self in some position of independence.
The cooperative marketing move
ment has met with years of disaster
and failure after repeated years of
trial. Fortunately these conditions
seem to- be we'll over and the marked
success with which recent organiza-
tions of the kind have met gives as
surance of the future success of the
movement
President Harding in his Idaho
Falls address made the statement that
the price the producer receives and
that which the consumer pays must
be -bridged and that can best be done
by an orderly marketing of the pro-
ducts of the farmer through cooper
ative marketing.
This organization was brought
about by the interest of Aaron Sapiro,
the acknowledged national spirit of
the system of orderly marketing of
farm products by the cooperative
plan as put into effect by the citrus
fruit growers of California and the
apple groTers of the northwest, the
cotton and tobacco growers of the
south.

WOOL CLIP HEAVY IN
LEWISTON TERRITORY

Lewiston-The last of the seasons
wool clip has arrived in Lewiston and
the total receipts at the Snake river
warehouse are 55S,000 pounds. This
is about 15S,0O0 pounds more than the
receipts last season. With the ex-
cellent price of wool this season, the
value is much greater than ever be-
fore.
All but 22 sacks, or 5000 pounds,
has been shipped out, and the re-
mainder will go in a few days. The
wool came from various points on and
near the Snake river and was brought
here by the Clipper and Idaho boats.
1t came chiefly from the ranches Of
Dobbin & Huffman, at Cache creek; ;
Nez Perce Sheep Co., at Pittsburg;
the Johnson Bros; the Brownless
Sheep Co.; Kemp & Bettinson, Mad
den estate and r. R. Steen ranches;
and Smith, Hale & Humphrey, On the
Salmon river. These are located from
% to so miles above Lewiston. To-
gether they have clip from 10000
sheep.

FASHION SHOP MAN
Home FROM new YORK

j. F. Stewart of the Fashion Shop,
arrived at home Monday afternoon
from his semi-annual buying trip to
New York, after an absence of about
three weeks. Mr.. Stewart, anticipat-
ing better business conditions in Mos
COW and the Palouse country the COM
ing fall than for several years past.
bought heavily of ladies ready-to-
wear garments and will have ship
ments of early fall merchandise in
in short time.
The building boom throughout the
eastern cities is continuing, Mr..
Stewart states, and the automobile
business is on the boom. In fact,
conditions generally are good, but
possibly not quite so rushing as a
few months ago, there being some in
dIcatlons that the. factories have
pretty well caught up with the de-
mand. The crops, Mr.. Stewart states,
are good from coast to coast, and
with any ordinary prices, should put
IN circulation vast sum of money.
Mr.. Stewart stopped in Cleveland
for few hours on the way east, but
aside from that made no stops either
going or coming. He says that the
trains were crowded, the traffic
seeming to be unusually heavy.

Ringside, Yankee Stadium, New
York-Benny Leonard, king of the
lightweights of the last six years, de-
monstrated conclusively his undis
puted title to the throne by trouncing
Lew Tender, his Philadelphia chal-
lenger, in slashing, bitterly fought
15-round match at the Yankee sta
dium.
Before crowd Of more than $4,000
that paid 100000 to see the match,
setting a new high mark for cham
pionships outside the heavyweight
class, Leonard out-generalled, out
boxed and out-punched his foremost
rival from start to finish. He held
the upper hand, had Tender on the
verge of knockout at the close and
the judges verdict in his favor at
the finish was merely a formality.
Leanord fought with consummate
skill. A master of ring tactics, he
had his rugged southpaw challenger
baffled by the speed aK1 Vrecision
of his attack, while at the same time
he made futile most of Tenders at
tempts at the offensive. The cham
pion landed three blows to one in
nearly every round.

MOSCOW MAY Have
TRAFFIC OFFICER
WOULD CURB SPEEDING AUTO
ISTS-COUNCIL CREATES NEW
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT

The matter of employing a traffic
officer in Moscow for few weeks to
eliminate the violations of the state
speed laws on the citys streets, was
under consideration Monday evening
at the regular meeting of the city
council. This law requires that a car
shall not drive faster than 20 miles
an hour on any city street in the
state, and 10 miles only is allowed
at intersections and past public
school buildings. An officer, the
council believes, would be a great
reckless driving and would help
avoid any possible accidents.
Since there were no protests to the
move, the city council ordered the
city attorney to prepare the neces-
sary orders creating local improve
ment district number 16. This calls
for the sanding of the streets, putting
in curbs and sidewalks in the district
on Van Buren street between Third
and Sixth streets and on Sixth street
between Van Buren and Adams
streets. The city clerk was instruc-
ted to advertise for sealed bids for
the improvement of local sewer dis
trict number 5; which was recently
created by the city council
J. Faulkner appeared before the
council with a petition for the ex-
tension, of the water main on east
F street, which was referred TO the
water commissioner for recommend
alton. The purchasing agent was
ordered to purchase wire and en-
closure supplies for the septic tank
grounds and the city tank ON the
hill. Permission was granted to the
L.. o. o. NJ for dance to be given
on Second street between Main and
the alley next Saturday night

BARNEY QUASS Sees
MOTHER AFTER 81 YEARS

Barney Quass, pioneer representa-
tive of the Spokesman-Review in this
territory, arrived at home Monday
from three weeks trip to Duluth,
Minnesota, where he went to visit his
mother, who recently came to the
United States from ROumania, and
whom he had not seen for 81 years,
or since he left his native land. The
aged woman is visiting with two
daughters in Duluth, and will later
make trip to the Pacific coast, after
which she will probably return to
Roumania. This is her first Trip to
the United States and it is needless
to say that both she and her son were
overjoyed to see each other, after
half an ordinary lifetime.
Mr.. Quass states that he never saw
so much business in all lines as was
in evidence in the Minnesota city.
The iron mines are a great source of
revenue at Duluth, employing thous
ands of men. The city, like other
eastern cities, is enjoying building
boom and no one seems to think that
conditions might sometime change.
At Ely, a town a little larger than
Moscow where Mr.. Quass visited, the
contract has just been let for new
high school building, the contract
price being $8OO,OOO. 1t is estimated
that the building complete, will cost
million dollars Ninety-two and
one-half per cent Of the taxes in the
community, however, are paid by the
companies owning the iron mines, SO
the people feel they can afford elab
crate buildings.
In North Dakota and parts of Min
nesota, the crop conditions are not
good, Mr.. Quass states, owing to a
late, cold spring.

PALOUSE HARVEST
IS NEAR AT HAND
BINDERS IN LATAH FIELDS
HEAVY CROP is CERTAIN
MUCH ALFALFA IN FIELDS

The warm weather of the past
week has brought the Latah county
harvest on apace, and the binders
are already at work in the fields
about Potlatch in the northern part
I of the county, and Genesee in the
rimrock territory, where the grain is
ripening earlier than in the district
around Moscow The harvest will be
earlier than was anticipated some
two weeks ago.
While in some sections of Latah
and Whitman counties, especially
about Uniontown and Genesee, where
the rains were the heaviest, there is
considerable wheat lodged, it is not
sufficient to materially affect the
total yield in the Palouse couhtry,
which it is generally conceded will
be the heaviest in years. There is
considerable smut in some sections,
which will affect the yield and
quality somewhat in these districts
While men are beginning to
straggle in for the harvest, it is evil
dent that there will be something of
shortage, and that wages will be
fairly high The farmers are prepar-

Alfalfa Drug on the Market
The Palouse hills are dotted with
shocks of bleached alfalfa, which was
cut between rains. The alfalfa yield
was the most bountiful in the his
tory of the Palouse country, and with
a good second cutting assured, it is |
difficult to dispose of the bleached ,
hay in the fields. Second growth |

places around the shocks. Some far
mers, in order to get the hay off the
ground, have been offering it for as I
little as a dollar a ton. The barns I
are for the most part filled and the 7
hay still in the field would nearly
all have been baled for the market,
had it not been for the rains.

Gardner knelt by Chiffon and they
did not speak.
An owl swinging close to their
heads gave loud and sudden boot.

was extinguished with a wet and
savage hiss. First he turned to

They came out of the outrageous
tunnel into full moonlight, and saw
before them GROWING wavelike
rising Of the land, a dark house
buried to the waist in shrubs and
creepers; beyond they could see

a strong smell of box.
Carrying one of the cars oil

house and through it. For it had
no doors, and was only a shell Of
a house, kept from falling to pieces
by its two brick chimneys and the
strong arms of its empowering
vines.
They descended into what had
once been a formal garden. But its
