OF the earth and there remains in
Caldwell only handful of men. Cor

likely youths who broke into fast COM
pany for a brief period lats season.
Other towns are already starting

tically the same team that represented
the town last year. Emmett wants
talent to bolster her team that could
not work its way out of the cellar
last season. Even Melba is looking
for new worlds to conquer.

R||REAU IDEAS
GIVEN SUPPORT
p.ckham Lays State
Program Before
Caldwell Men

Caldwell business men, represented
hv committees from every civic or
o,n;zation. endorsed the program OF
,hs Idaho State Farm Bureau fedora
,;on and assured II. G. Peckham OF
v;lder. vice president of the organic
,,;on support in carrying out its pro-
gram.
AZ, Peckham, in lengthy address.
dwelt upon the program OF tn estate
f,-m bureau. He went into detail on
various marketing plans now being
conducted by the bureau. following s.ic
outline OF similar addresses that he
had previously made to Caldwell civic
organizations. He answered a num-
her OF questions touching upon de-
tails of the farm bureaus marketing
,Ians with various commodities.
Following his address. central
committee consisting of |. NJ. McCar-
,hy. w. P. Lyon, Amos Miller. Geo.
Durant and Jess Gowen, was appoint
ed 10 further investigate the state bu-
reau program. to report to various
civic organizations which they repre-
sent for endorsement of the plan aud
10 assist in selling" the state farm
bureau federation plan to Caldwell
business men.
The state bureau is this year asking
business men to assist in financing Its
oroeram. Ii was in the interest OF
this financial aid that Mr.. Peckham
made this address and several other
similar ones preceding it to Caldwell
business men. In response to ques-
tion. Mr.. Peckham asserted that he
did not know precisely what financial
aid would be asked from Caldwell
but that $500 was sought from ii
organized counties in the state and
that southeastern Idaho, where the
farm bureau program was being most
ardently advocated and pushed, would
probably be asked for sizeable por-
,ion OF this money. Canyon county,
Mr.. Peckham thought, because OF its
predominating position in Idaho farm
bureau circles, should contribute con-
siderable to this project.
Ways and means of carrying out
Mr.. Peckham's idea OF financial assist
ance were not definitely decided upon
at the Friday evening meeting.

ALCOHOL ST|RS
. CITY DRUGGISTS
Boise Story in Tribune
Not Backed By
Facts

Assertions forming part OF story
published in The Tribune last week
from Boise and sent out by news
agency that is generally regarded as
reliable were untrue. according TO local
druggists. The story which advocated
the passage of an act by the present
legislature permitting garages to sell
denatured alcohol. AT present. under
Idaho law. this business is confined to
druggists. prohibition authorities be-
ing responsible. it is understood. for
this regulation OF its sale. The final
paragraph of the story read like this +;
"Denatured alcohol casts. laid down
in Boise. less than SO censt a gallon.
and is retailed by the druggists at
Sl.2s gallon. or a profit of around
$50 per cent. Local garages announce
they would be glad to sell it at rs
cents a gallon"
Garage men were not interested To-
cally in this legislation. it is declared
here. According to Investigations be-
ing made by local druggists. the total
annual business in denature alcholhoi
in Caldwell this past winter will not
exceed 400 gallons.
Not only is the volume small, but
the allegations made as to prices in
this story were not based on fact. it is
pointed out. One Caldwell druggist
Monday asserted that a recent pur-
chase of dcnatured alcohol cost him
"a cents per gallon without considera-
ton of transportation or shrinkage. the
latter considerable item with alcohol.
He further asserted that Caldwell quo
tations average about Sl00 per gallon
to the retail trade, which is regarded
as a fair price when volume OF
sales and shrinkage are considered.
The bill was killed in the legislature
last week.
