LEGION TO ACT AGAINST
SELLING DONE BY FAKIRS

In the near future the local Am
erican Legion Post will take action
against fakirs who sell flowers and
magazines on the streets here. I'M
der the claim hat the proceeds are
to be used for the benefit of ex-ser-
vice men, when it has been proved
that the sale is purely commercial
in it's character.
At a meeting of the local Post on
Friday night it was decided that q
committee be formed to meet with
the mayor, and at which time have
him appoint a committee from the
various military organizations in the
city to see to the issuing of licenses
to carry on the business.
For the past two years there have
been sold in this city, as we'll as all
over the state, magazines of a chear
type, flowers and various other ar
%ticles, and which are said to go to-
ward the aid of e~x-service men.
Through the American Legion Week
ly it has been found that these sales
purely commercial in their character
are sold through any one who will
go out and put on part of a soldiers
uniform.
The committee, If appointed by
the mayor, will take full charge of
the issuance of licenses and will on
ly allow sales that are going direct
to the support of ex-service men to
take place in the city.
This action is taken to protect the
public and the soldiers uniform
from this d~isgracefu1 method of col
lecting money under false p%retences
and the committee will endeavor to
enlist the support of the Lions and
Rotary Clubs as well as various other
organizations in stopping this iniqui-
tons ~nractice.

LAST YEAR WAS
BEST FOR AUTOS
1922 Breaks All Records
For Production of
Machines

During 1922 more automobiles were
built than ever before. according to
Fred Mcclellan. Manager of the Nc
Clellan Motor Company, Durant deal
er in Caldwell.
1t IS very interesting to note. points
out Mr.. Mcclellan, that few changes
have been made in the general chassis
design OF any of the popular makes
of cars. One of the most notable
changes which has taken place, how
ever. has been the stiffening OF ,he
frame and the chassis construction OF
many of the makes which offers a
firmer foundation for the body.
The Durant factories, according to
Mr.. Mcclellan, were the first to adopt
this system in the form of a tubular
backbone as we'll as additional braces
which virtually forms longitudinal
sub-frame in addition to the regular
frame.
Manufacturers have found much of
the racking which took place in their
bodies was not caused by the body
construction itself, but rather to the
foundation which supported same, and
have therefore endcavored to add to
the rigidity of the frame in order to
form the firm foundation for the body
The tubular backbone with which
the Durant product is equipped is ap-
proximately inches in diameter and
is hot-riveted between the rear cross
and the center cross frame,
which is 7 inches in depth. The ma
terial is of 5-32's inch thickness press
ed steel and being circular in con-
struction naturally absorbs the frame
strains that might come from any an
gle. This backbone also functions as
4 muffler but does not contain any bal
1e plates or other distractions which
might blow out. The muffled effect
S produced because of the thickness
Of the material used in the tubular
backbone.

All preliminary measures such as ap-

The danger of losing this large
appropriation cannot be overestimat-

Wednesday.
If everything goes as scheduled we
will have two or three weeks in which
to purchase right of way property and
validate our contract with the power
company. But should there be ques-
tionable clauses inserted in the con-
tract that might be questioned by the
Secretary of the Interior, it might
mean a delay that would deprive us
of this vast amount of money"
All members of the board of di-

that have caused concern to the board
will be considered at their meeting in

OUTLINE PLANS
FOR SPREADING
VALLEY GOSPEL
Comprehensive Coop
erative Advertising
Program Proposed for
All Valley Towns.

Advertising the Boise Valley with
a view to attracting middle western
farmers into this territory. particular
1 ly Wisconsin dairymen and poultry
men from other sections. was given a
decided impetus last Friday evening
when Harry Lawson. president Of the
Boise Chamber of Commerce, headed
delegation of Boise business men,
conferred with representatives OF To-
cal civic organizations.
The plan presented by Mr.. Lawson
contemplates a cooperative effort em-
bracing Boise, Nampa, Caldwell and
other smaller Boise Valley towns Ike
Parma, Meridian, Star and Middleton
Newspaper advertising, using farm
papers and other mediums in the ter
ritory from which residents are sought
is the primary method that will be en-
ployed.
By pooling efforts on a common
campaign, il is believed that not less
than $4,000 can be made available for
this program. Subscriptions to the
common pool will be based on a per
capita ratio. Advertising will be fol-
lowed by supplemental information
supplied by the various commercial
clubs and chambers of commerce
from whom information is sought.
To carry out the program. some
form of closed corporation is pro-
posed with a central clearing body di-
recting activities for all cooperating
communities.
That Idaho, particularly the Boise
Valley offers a favorable field for such
a campaign is the opinion of the Boise
enthusiasts who have already worked
out the plan in some detail Mr. Law
son, in reciting the obvious advantages
of the Boise Valley, called attention to
recent devastating storms in the mid
die west and, himself a former resi-
dent of that region, averred that many
people OF those states would gladly
come to more favored locality if
they knew OF its advantages and were
certain that an opportunity for adj
vancement awaited them here. Adver-
tisements should carry specifically the
fact that this is a region of year
around mild climate and point out the
tremendous advantages the Boise Val
ley has over Wisconsin as a quality
dairy center, in Mr. Lawsons opin-
ion.
Further conferences with Nampa
and other towns are proposed to
quickly work the program out in de-
tail and start the ball rolling The
Boise committeeman who were here
believe that ii the program is once un-
der,aken, il should be continued over
a period OF years.
ANY merchant can tell you that
spasmodic advertising is throwing
money away" Mr.. Lawson pointed
out. TO be profitable and show re-
suits, advertising must be continuous
and spread over a period This pro-
