CALDWELL PASTOR COMING

B. G. Hawkins has been the pastor
of the Methodist church of Caldwell
and has been assigned to Blackfoot
for the coming year. The Kiwanis
club of that place in bidding good
bye to him adopted the following
resolution:
"Mr. Hawkins has filled an import
ant place in the civic life of this COM
munity. He has added to his church
duties those of an enthusiastic
booster for public improvements. He
has entered into the business activ-
tiles of Caldwell to an unusual de-
gree, and has the respect and con-
fidence of the business men of the
city. Mr.. Hawkins has been a mem
Der of the club since it's organization
and his spirit of cooperation has
been of the highest type. He has
served on many important commit
tees, and has never hesitated to give
his time and energy to assist and i'm
prove the work Of the club. We feel
that the Caldwell Kiwanis club will
suffer a real loss when Mr.. Hawkins
leaves our city, and we wish him the
greatest success in his new field"

THE POTATO EXCHANGE

The cause of the Idaho Potato Ex-
change has made rapid progress the
past week, winning friends in large
numbers at strategic points. Bank
ers and business men in some
counties have been the last ones to
give it any study, thinking that 1t
was another one of the several i'm
practical plans for handling business
by combines or politics. When they
give ear to the subject and find that
it Is merely common sense and mer-
chandising applied to moving pota-
toes from the fields to the consumers
at the times they are needed, and
stopping the violation of common
sense method, it wins on its merits.
In addition to the merits of the
plans, there have been three moving
dynamos hammering on the matter
recently-W. S. Hill, the speaker
sent out from the Colorado farm
bureau, Fred E. Seeger of the Seeger
Bundle company of Blackfoot, and
c. S. Beebe, the insurance man of
Blackfoot. These three have gone
into various counties and convinced
men, have shown them that this is a
move that is basically right and with
far reaching possibilities because it
reverses old failure methods and in
PRODUCES success methods that will
continue on their merits, enable the
farmer to get what he earns and put
money in his pocket according to the
service he renders to society, and
when the bankers and leading bust
ness men are won over and go out
working for it, the farmer who was
already pretty we'll convinced, signs
and throws his weight in its favor
and that is what makes it working
power.
Mr.. Hills salary and expenses are
paid for his work, but Seeger and
Beebe have left their own business
and gone out on their own expense
and donated their time because they
had caught the vision of what this
move means to the whole country
orderly marketing of farm products
to get for the farmer what he earns,
making it possible for the farmers
families to live we'll like other peo-
pie and be relieved from the killing
effect of long hours at tasks that are
too heavy.
The election of directors and en-
ploying the sales forces are proceed
ing rapidly, and the sales organiza-
ton will soon be operating.

DENIPSEY-FIRPO FIGHT

The fight between Jack Dempsey
heavy weight champion of the world
and Louis Firpo, of Argentine at
New York last Friday leaves Demp-
sey the champion, but it was hard
fight, and was edcided in the second
round.
Both men went at it like a whirl-
wind from the first, and Firpo
knocked Dempsey thru the rope with
a lick on the jaw. Dempsey was
dazed, but came back with heavy
blows. Firpo knocked him down the
second time, and then Dempsey
knocked Firpo down six times in
succession, and each time, Firpo
came back fighting furiously.
AS Dempsey sank down to rest In
his corner at the end of the first
round and remarked to his second,
'Gee, but he hit me a couple OF
pips," and he smiled as he said it.
In the second round both fought
desperately and without caution
Dempsey knocked Firpo down twice
and the second time he failed to rise
by the end of the count, and was
helped to get up.
The fight was staged at the New
York polo grounds, and no tickets
were on sale until near the opening
hour. People stood in line from
dawn till evening to get tickets, and
then when the ticket wagon tried to
get thru to it's position to start sell
ing tickets, there was such jam and
commotion that all lines were
broken and great disorder prevailed.
A Gordon ne mOuntad notice several
blocks long had great difficulty in re-
storing order.
After the fight, each combatant
paid his respects to the other in COM
plimentary expression of the terrific
fight encountered, each one admitting
that he had had the fight of his life.

WE EXPRESS OUR REGRETS

We regret that the reports Of the
commissioners proceedings for the
past summer have not yet been pub
lished, and for the reason that the
official copy for them has not been
prepared and delivered into our
hands. The reports from July % on
down to the present time have not
yet reached US; the reports for June
25 to July 81 we're delivered to US
on September 10, when we had not
time nor space left to get them into
this issue, but they will appear next
week. When the rest of It reaches
US we will publish 1t, tho we know
1t is very unsatisfactory to the public
to be looking for these reports for
weeks or months before they appear
in print, and by that time they have
probably ceased to be interested or
to remember what 1t was they were
watching for.

BIACKFooT wo,.AN SUICIDES

On Saturday at 1920. Mrs. Berte'
| Metcalf took a dose of strychnine
and died in 25 minutes. She was a
her home in the Parsons addition
and called to her husband as she
took the poison.
Mr.. and Mrs. Metcalf were married
a year ago and her maiden name was
Leila Blanche Beckstead. In recent
months she has at several times made
threats of taking her own life, and
on Saturday forenoon she purchased
strychnine for poisoning coyotes, she
said, went home and wrote some let
tiers to relatives, exonerated her hus-
band from all blame, and at noon
when he was at home planning for
business trip into the hills she took
the poison. Mr.. Metcalf was crank
ing his car to drive to a garage, and
she stepped out of the house and
called to him, Here goes" and with
her hand tossed something into her
mouth. He ran to her and said.
What have you done?" and for
reply she showed him vial labeled
Poison She was splitting, and
asked for water and made what
seemed to be a sincere effort to get
rid of the poison. A physician was
summoned by phone and he arrived
in about 20 minutes, but she was
sinking. Frothing at the mouth and
murmuring, "I'm all right" she sank
into unconsciousness.
An inquest was held on Monday
and the verdict was that she came to
her death by poison administered by
herself. There were some indica-
lions that she had planned her death
in good faith, and also some indica-
lions that she intended to take some
of it into her mouth and then spit it
out and rinse her mouth and escape
death. Strychnine is said to be very
bitter and terrible to the taste, and
the tongue quickly absorbs enough
of it to cause death. Her call for|
water may have been for rinsing out
the poison, but her husband, think
ing she meant to drink 1t, and know
ing that would bring quick death,
asked her to wait until the doctor
arrived.
Her parents arrived from Weston,
Idaho on Saturday evening and the
remains were taken there for burial.

ALEXANDER STORE CLOSING

Alexander's clothing store at
Blackfoot is to start closing out Mon
day, after ten years and sixteen days
operating in the town. The store
has not been profitable during the
hard times and Mr.. Alexander thinks
he can put his capital into some
other locality to better advantage.
The store was opened by Mr.. Fred
Simons, our efficient fire chief, and
will be closed out by him. He says
he has no plans beyond finishing this
enterprise, and may or may not re-
main in the town, where he has made
many friends by his public spirited
service and good citizenship.
